State of the Symphony Address - January 2023

How is the progress on Symphony 3 coming along?

[@chaz.o]

Love the piece so far. Mixing sounds great. Lovely composition as well. Sorry I cannot help out but I am very much looking forward to hearing it.😊

[@musiqueacoustique1]

Sounds amazing so far. Wish I could help out. Best of luck with this work.

[@BretNewtonComposer]

Maybe it needs a guitar part...

[@bradencutright-head6629]

@@BretNewtonComposer I mean…with the mandolins it could work….

[@jamesernst5278]

When did you start bassoon and contrabassoon out of curiosity?

[@BretNewtonComposer]

Bassoon in 6th grade. Contra in grad school.

Hey Bret! Clarinet Player here. I'd absolutely love to help out with getting this symphony closer to complete. How can I contact you to talk about recording for you?

[@BretNewtonComposer]

Send me an email to [e-mail]

Hey Bret. I’m a brass player if you ever decide to add a couple of brass parts. I’m not a clarinetist, but I have a friend who’s pretty good. Would you like me to get in contact with him?

[@BretNewtonComposer]

What brass instruments do you play?

[@laurenlofton9039]

@@BretNewtonComposer Mainly trumpet. I might be able to get my hands on a French Horn depending on who’s renting and who’s not. I also have a valve trombone in easy reach. I could most likely get my hands on a slide trombone relatively easily. The only brass I would struggle to get my hands on would a tuba. They’re a bit of a pain to try and rent and I cannot afford to buy one. Edit: Long answer short, hand me a brass instrument and I’ll play it.

[@laurenlofton9039]

It’s also relatively easy to rent a euphonium where I’m at.

Looks like room for a triangle. And in the spirit of our corporate heath my son would like to contribute a nose trumpet. As a dedicated disk golfer and to preserve the legacy of spike Jones we also offer a classic disk 10:23 tournament hole ln one.

[@nandocordeiro5853]

Yes me too. I have a hyperbass flute in case that's needed.
