Pirates! has arrived!
I am pleased to report that Pirates! is posted in its entirety, so please give a listen over at myspace.com/travisjweller when you get a chance! My thanks and appreciation are extended to Dr. R. Tad Greig and the Westminster College Wind Ensemble for inviting me over to conduct them on October 26, 2007. It was a great experience, and they really delivered what I hoped the music could be.

Congrats on getting your piece completed and posted. I know the feeling of finally having a work finished and how rewarding it is when it works well and is well-performed like yours was.
Do you have catalog information about the Pirates piece and others? Just listening to it, I’m guessing it’s maybe a Grade 2 work (?), but sometimes when it’s so recorded so well the performers make it sound easy.
Being an elementary/junior high teacher, I am always on the hunt for good compositions of Grade 1.5 or lower.
