A Commissioning Consortium is being formed for me to compose
a college level composition for any combination of 3-5 instrumentalists. It would be called
Wonderland Portraits and contain descriptive movements such as Alice, the
Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, the Duchess, and the March Hare. The composition
would be created so that it can be customized to fit each of the participating
ensembles' instrumentation, either non-standard or standard. Rebecca Hovans'
review in the Winter 2014 Flute Quarterly of Brandon's compositions on the
Ardente Duo CD states, "Many of the pieces are adaptions for flute and
clarinet of works previously composed for other instruments. However, had I not
known this from reading the program notes, I would have never guessed. The
pieces fit the flute/clarinet pairing perfectly."
Interested parties agree to pay a refundable $25 participation
fee upon receipt of a pdf copy of the music. The fee will be refunded upon
receipt of a program and recording of the performance. The participating groups
have the right to a local premiere for one year following the receipt of
the composition and inclusion of the group name in the dedication.

for inclusion in commissioning consortium is June 15, 2014.
