Description
Interesting Facts About Owls:

Owls are fond of beer, especially dark beer. Occasionally, at breweries, an owl will sample too much and fall into the vat. When this happens, the beer is considered to have magical properties and is sold secretly to a select clientele around the world.

Owls are great dancers. Late at night, this music can sometimes be heard coming from treetops and tall buildings.

The first wind instruments were all crafted to mimic the sound of owls. In Germany today, wind instruments are still referred to as Eulengehooteren.

If an owl decides to build a nest in the bell of one's tuba, it is known to be bad luck and downright dangerous to remove the nest. This recording was made with such a "nested" tuba.

The sheet music to this piece is available at SafeMusic where you can examine the score which was printed by owls.

bouncy enjoyable 20s fun
Good to see something new from you Keith! I usually enjoy your compositions, reveling in your scoring skill, looking past the choice of instrument-rendering. This particular one is quite enjoyable to my ears... bombastic and fun... reminds me a bit of something that would play in one of the old nickelodeons.
ttfn,
Drakonis

This is VERY impressive! I doubt anybody who hears this will be sneering even a tiny bit (says one who works in midi sound only!) I'm amazed at the quality of composition here - really really terrific!

I Don't Get It
Now that it's posted at the site of the music publisher SafeMusic the sheet music for this piece has been purchased in the UK and in Switzerland. Imagine! Not only is my music being disseminated by a publisher called Safe Music, but it's being played in the land where John Calvin once walked!


I sent this remarkable information to my old buddy from high school, one of the greatest trumpet players of his day, and who is now the pope of one of those mega-stadium-sized churches, and he replied with this joke:


What did Calvin say when he fell down the church steps?

“I’m glad that’s over”


From my original message it's obvious that I know that John Calvin was an extreme puritan, but would someone kindly explain that joke to me? (Please don't tell my friend.)
