Thanks to the Festival Brass Quintet of Richmond and the Roanoke Chamber Brass for their willingness to explore new music and for their encouragement. Thanks to the Lynchburg College Brass Ensemble for being my "reading guinea pigs" and "arranging-in-reality" advisors.

COMPOSITIONS:
Please contact me if you're interested in performing any of my original music. I'd love to know when and where my music is being performed. You don't need a performance license and I'm happy to discuss anything you may require to facilitate a performance. In some cases I can make part substitutions if necessary to accomodate your ensemble's needs. I'm also happy to provide transposed parts (if you need C Trumpet parts, for example) and scores. Please contact me for details on a mechanical license if you're considering a recording. www.kevinpaul.org
