R.I.P to a friend of Houston’s Arts and a humble public servant.

I recently received a review of my work Introduction and Caprice for tuba and piano. Here’s a description and the review excerpt …

Duration: 6'45"

*included on the Texas Prescribed Music List , class one tuba solo with piano (added fall 2023)

Review
[ … ]
The introduction features a flowing lyrical melody that showcases the singing, melodious side of the tuba’s abilities. The caprice, in contrast, has a variety of quick arpeggios and interesting rhythmic figures in the tuba part, with the piano and tuba seeming to engage in a dialogue as the parts interact with one another.
Overall, Introduction and Caprice will bring out several skills from the tubist while also providing music that is interesting and engaging to the listener. ~ Wes Calvert, M.M. Tuba – University of Central Arkansas, ITEA Journal (Online Supplement), vol. 51 no.3 (Spring 2024)

She’s done so much for the art form. Well deserved!
