The Brenda Earle Newsletter (11/2007)

News from Brenda Earle
www.brendaearle.com

Fall has officially descended upon us. Now that the weather has become more seasonable (farewell Global Warming!) and the clocks have turned back (goodbye dinner in daylight), it's time again to drink hot tea instead of iced and time to trade in flip flops for those dreadful Ugg boots again.

Lots of exciting projects in the pipeline this month! I have been a mad writing fiend, writing arrangements for chamber orchestra, big band, SATB chorus and brass quintet. I have made writing a bit priority this fall and am very grateful for the SUNY Oneonta Chamber Orchestra, Saddle Brook High School Jazz Band and Water's Edge Bras for commission work from me. I have listed the works and performance dates later on in this email.

Have a look at the upcoming gigs listed below to see when you can check out my group next. Lots of shows in the NYC and NJ areas. Please forward this email to anyone you think might be interested.

Enjoy the month of November in all its colors and coziness! Also, Happy American Thanksgiving! (We Canucks had ours in October...)
