I have just put together the premiere recording of Nevermore by Paul Popiel and the Indiana University Concert Band. They had a very tough program, including all of Lincolnshire Posy, but were able to do a wonderful job preparing the piece. I especially enjoyed the ensembles flexibility, allowing me to cut parts, change octaves, etc. with the help of everyone’s input. I even learned a sweet technique from the piccolo player that is going to have a permanent home in the score. Thanks again to Paul and his fine ensemble.
