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.rkevinpaul.com

(My brass music arrangements can be found at Waterton Brass Music.)
