This Pozible campaign is about raising some support to record and publish a couple of my original compositions for solo Flute.

I'll be calling upon the flute skills of the wonderful Queensland flutist, Brijette Tubb, to record the two works for me. Brijette is a wonderful musician, both fiery and refined, a rare combination. A large part of why I'm running this campaign is so I can pay her what she deserves for recording these works for me.

The two works Brijette will be recordings are:

Birches (a tone poem based on the poem of the same name by Robert Frost)

&

Springtime Dances, Winter Weeps; a monster of a work that captures the harshness and fragility of winter and the dancing, joyful, boisterous character of spring. A effortlessly virtuosic piece - at least that's how Brijette makes it sound!

Both are, I believe, great additions to the repertoire and worth checking out!

Also, I wrote a poem for the occasion of this campaign... ;-)

---
That magical flute,
Oh wondrous of sound,
Voice of the Angels,
Rich and round.

Sing, sing!
Sweet musics!
and Gentle carolling!
Make our ears ring,
with the sound of your singing.

That magical flute
Does but need a song,
ever new, that lingers on.

New music! New song!
It cries heraldically,
Beseeching composers for new melodies.

Let today not be the day,
where you receive not your wish.
Let a new song be heard,
and so bend the Birches low,
and call Springtime to dance!

The funds will be used half to pay Brijette, and the other half to pay for the initial production costs of the printed scores etc.

Challenge No. 1: Getting you all interested!
Solution: I have to get you amazing people to help me spread the word via word of mouth, facebook sharing, posters, flyers etc. If you can help, please let me know!

Challenge No. 2; Getting the music printed at the standard I think is appropriate.
Solution: I SHALL NOT REST UNTIL THEY ARE B.E.A.UTIFUL!

Challenge No. 3: I die from a broken heart because I can't get this project off the ground.
Solution: I have a good cry, eat a bucket of Benny & Jerry's and then try again.

Challenge No. 4: Gandalf appears "YOU SHALL NOT PASS"
Solution: I call upon Kvothe the Bloodless to deal with him.

Challenge No. 5: Life.
Solution: Hugs.

Challenge No. 6: Nay-sayers

Okay, I think we've got that covered. :)
