Hey guys…been a little while since a news flash went up…BEEN BUSY…! Let me hit some quick highlights. Been writing like a madman…! Some new percussion ensembles are about to be unleashed…BRAIN BLEED written for 7 percussionists, piano, and electric bass is hot off the presses and will be performed and videoed some time this year! THE MIDDLE MAN…a new work for 6 percussionists offers a contemporary work accessible to middle school students that sounds and appears more difficult than it actually is…a very hip work for your middle school ensemble! And last (at the moment) but definitely not least, a new advanced work for 6 percussionists featuring melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, and metric challenges that will be perfect for your advanced high school group or undergraduate college ensemble. This one is appropriately titled…ALL-STATE…! And along w/ the writing…
I’ve been performing much w/ VINNIE and THE HITMEN, a premier musical ensemble featuring 9 horns and 5 rhythm of the hippest session cats in Nashville! If you’re in the Nash area…find us…you’ll dig it…! More coming later about more writing projects and performances…! Hope to see you soon here on the site, on my FB page, or at a gig…! And check out…www.youtube.com/user/edwardfreytag/videos. See you later…
