Academy of LDS Print Music

Friday, 19 November 2010

Christmas Postludes and Sussex Carol went to press today—also reprint orders for Jenny Oaks Baker's Violin Collection No. 1 plus some some chorals. The pressure is easing somewhat in Editorial. I only have one more Christmas choral to get out for the demo—Gordon Jessop's While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks—and I am half finished with that. I have a dozen non-Christmas items to get to print. I am also developing a new small choral assortment for Easter.

We met with a dozen composers Tuesday night at Goodwoods Barbecue Co. at the University Mall to visit and networfk over dinner. It was a nice evening with Chemain Evans, Jan Underwood Pinborough, Penelope Moody Allen, Amy Baugh Hansen, C. C. Cole Edwards, Peggy Pearson, Janice Kapp Perry, Marden Pond, Brent Jorgensen, Clark Edwards, and others—a good time to review new works and to catch up witb with these influential writers’ lives.

We discussed forming an Academy of LDS Print Music which would be a means of recognizing outstanding contributions to our industry.
