[Trombone-l] Trombone Recordings Sought

[Retired Prof 55]

Emeritus Recordings is planning the fall 2006 release of a CD 
showcasing new music featuring the trombone in solo or chamber music or 
with a large ensemble. Performers and composers who would like to be 
considered for inclusion on this CD should submit their digital 
recording along with a brief biography of both composer and performers 
by July 1, 2006. We are looking for high quality performances of 
original compositions for trombone and piano, trombone ensemble, 
trombone featured in a chamber music setting, or trombone as a soloist 
with a large ensemble. The types of compositions we are seeking are 
modern works that are based in tonality and have a strong melodic sense.

Emeritus Recordings is dedicated to investing its resources in 
promoting the music of talented composers and performers for the 
purpose of giving them greater exposure in a limited commercial market. 
We will incur all costs of production, promotion and distribution of 
the CD. Since our goal is exposure rather than profit, we are unable to 
pay royalties to either the performers or the composer. However, 
Emeritus Recordings will provide both the ensemble and composer with 
six complimentary CDs and additional CDs will be available for purchase 
at our cost. The selected recordings will be included along with 
compositions by Sy Brandon that have been recorded by Justin Clark, 
Peter Howell, and an ensemble from the Manhattan School of Music.

Emeritus Recordings is a subsidiary of Co-op Press. We have 
distribution arrangements with retailers of instrument-specific CDs and 
use http://www.theorchard.com for distribution to general retail and 
digital music stores. We mail complimentary copies of our CDs to 
classical radio stations throughout the United States and submit our 
CDs for review in professional journals. Send materials to Emeritus 
Recordings, P.O. Box 204, Wrightsville PA 17368-0204. More information
