Mr. Smith,
Your music is very compelling. I hope to make it to the upcoming concert with The Crossing and Tempesta di Mare. As a side note, I’d LOVE to see what you would do with a Baroque chamber cantata format… (countertenor, harpsichord, Baroque cello)!
Best,
Bryan DeSilva, countertenor
Hi Bryan,
Thanks so much! I fell in love with the Baroque cantata when my wife Jackie was singing some Telemann cantatas, soprano plus treble instrument and continuo. Fantastic music. My piece on Dietrich Bonhoeffer texts, Stationen auf dem Wege zur Freiheit, comes right out of this, if you can picture saxophone as part of the mix, which worked for me! Here, http://kilesmith.com/catalog/vocal/, and scroll down. I see I have no files or samples there, yikes. Let me know and I’ll send you the music. Thanks for the nice things you said, and I’ll see you at the concert! Regards,
Kile
