Parade of the Spirits is a fun but challenging concert band piece in the spirit of a film score for a spooky Halloween spectacular. @ArthurBreur is holding a consortium for this piece. Contact him directly if you're interested in participating.

A mixed trio for woodwind, tuned percussion, and a bass instrument (such as cello 😉), Misted Swerve was composed by @arthurbreur for a patron and friend.

Easily adjusted for other similar instruments, the arrangement here is alto sax, marimba and bass.

Arthur Breur's piano solo, "The Painting", was composed looking at a painting of bubbles floating upward, and beautifully uses a simple three-note motif to create a lovely, uplifting, and nostalgic melody.

Does your concert band need a rip-roaring Halloween number?

Arthur Breur's "Dance of the Monsters Under the Bed" delivers!

Do you like #ragtime #music? Arthur Breur has (so far!) composed three and a half rags! (We'll share about the "half" a rag in a future tweet, we promise!)

His first was "Kiwi Rag"--composed while he was in high school!

Arthur Breur's first concert march was composed with dogs in mind. Dogs running, dogs playing, dogs barking... but the percussion-led "dogfights" in this concert march are intentionally lighthearted!

Arthur Breur's Piano Sonata combines a variety of different influences into a three-movement work that is energizing, calming, exhilarating, thoughtful, and uplifting.

A jazzy first movement, a dreamy waltz, and an adventurous finale.

@arthurbreur Survey (and a point of internal disagreement here):

Should we publish this "movement" as a standalone work even though the entire string quartet work is not yet completed?

P.S. Spoiler alert: One of the biggest obstacles for new music *performers* in starting collaborations is unplayable music, and this is why I started @toolboxsessions. Learn more at https://t.co/Ux6iIRH8UY + use code 'daniellekuntz22' for a $10 discount. [8/8]

In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you! If you're a composer, how do you network with performers? If you're a performer, what's the biggest obstacle for you in getting involved with new music? [7/8]

[Danielle Kuntz | New Music Harpist @daniellekharp]

We need to get more performing musicians excited about new music and working with living, breathing composers.

In a later post (next week), I'll discuss how to overcome some common obstacles to getting started in new music, as a performer, so stay tuned. [6/8]

[Danielle Kuntz | New Music Harpist @daniellekharp]

Right now, the few active new music performer-musicians are usually completely booked with projects. Personally, I can realistically only collaborate and perform 3-4 advanced level pieces per year, in addition to my regular commitments. (...and I'm currently backlogged..) [5/8]

[Danielle Kuntz | New Music Harpist @daniellekharp]

So, why do composers still struggle to get performers interested in playing their music?

In all honesty? We need more music performers to start championing new music and to get involved with these collaborations. [4/8]
