 | Paul Simon wrote the new song Amulet for ZMF New Music for Marimba. Paul is one of the 16 composers who accepted the ZMF New Music Commission. The new song Amulet will be included at the Intermediate Masterworks for Marimba vol. 1. Although the music is finished the lyrics remain to be written.
ZMF New Music is an initiative to generate 24 intermediate level marimba solos via a Commissioning Project, and Composition Contest. All 24 pieces will be published in two volumes called Intermediate Masterworks for Marimba, and recorded on CD. This project is sponsored by Zeltsman Marimba Festival, Inc.
A lot of information about this project can be found on the site of ZMF New Music for Marimba.

 | Congrats Ans ! Or should I say thank you Sherlock Holmes ?
That is a scoop. 1st time I have heard something about this.
Quite frankly, I am not sure I understood this project, but will surely revisit this issue.
For those who attended the concert on Friday, how is Amulet ? A little Can´t Run But ? |
