SCORE STUDY EPISODE #25: CITY TREES (Markowski)

[@Tituscount]

I had the opportunity to contribute to the funding for this piece. Even better, I performed this piece for the premiere of it at the 2012 LGBA concert in Dallas. I was given the opportunity to play the clarinet solo at the end of the piece. I was so excited and pleased that my Mother and sister both attended.

incredible! it's such a wonderful piece of music

[@DiegoPerez-wj7pj]

Thank you for creating these videos, obviously, but thank you as well for introducing me to more band literature!

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

Glad you like them! They are a pleasure to make and I'm learning so much more from the music by creating these.

[@wildbill6926]

I enjoy everyone of your offerings. I am so pleased that your introductory narratives are become more detailed and giving very wonderful insights.

It would be amazing to do a score study on "Stonewall: 1969" by Randall Standridge, which was also commissioned by LGBA for the 2019 conference in Orlando, FL

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

I'll have to look that piece up!!

I'm very glad you took time to talk about LGBA

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

it was my pleasure to go into the story of the work's beginnings and to highlight all the wonderful music and feeling of community that bands like the LBGA make possible.

Fantastic piece and a new composer I've never heard of. (Also I was secretly hoping this channel would get more gay so that's fun ;D )

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

haha! well you can't really discuss great music and great composers without talking about a gay dude 50% of the time...

Beautiful! If you take requests, I would love a reduction and analysis of the cue "Tania" from the soundtrack to "Enemy at the Gates" by James Horner.

[@AnthonyOTooleMusic]

if you become a patreon supporter I will definitely put it on the list of pieces to be considered!
