]]> Comment on Notes from the National Flute Association Convention by Jim http://www.panttaja.com/jim/2007/08/13/notes-from-the-national-flute-association-convention/#comment-28 Jim Wed, 22 Aug 2007 01:59:58 +0000 http://www.panttaja.com/jim/2007/08/13/notes-from-the-national-flute-association-convention/#comment-28 Todd - thanks for the note. I haven't had a chance to get all of my notes on the blog yet - but both your piece - and your conducting were wonderful. What a pleasure to have a conductor walk up to the podium who has clearly thought through the piece (duh - in this case it was your piece - but still), and has thought through what we were going to need to know to play it. The rehearsal time was well spent, and it sounded good from where I sat. You have a friend in the wine country of northern California if you are ever out here... Todd - thanks for the note.

I was the guest conductor for my flute choir piece, "Four Pieces." I still can't get over the wonderful sound from all the low flutes up on stage - this was truly the sound I was hearing in my head when I wrote the piece back in 1986. Thanks for making my experience conducting the group so great - you guys were wonderful!
