Hi Guy, welcome.

Your peace is really beautiful and I'd say it's relaxing, almost leading as to dream. Reminds me of the medieval minstrels. I imagine that with a "real" flutist this will sound even better.
I would like to play this peace, but for this to be accomplished I will ask you something first.
Thing is that I now play with my youngest daughter, who plays the piano.
Would it be possible for you to make a transcription for flute and piano?

I would love to play your peace in an upcoming recital with my daughter.

thanks in advance.

That's actually quite nice. Very few of these types of requests are backed by a decent piece of music.

I myself wouldn't mind to play it either. However, I too would need sheet music for it. While I can hear the pitches and tell you what they are, it would be too much work to notate it and then record it.

If I had the raw recording files that you recorded the guitar with, I could do all of the mixing as well (reverb, balance, etc.). The only thing that I would request in terms of compensation would be the right to post the recording on my various online outlets. (My myspace, blog, and soon-to-be-released website). You would retain copyright/ownership of the material and would get credit for not only composing but recording as well. I would just want permission to post it, and receive credit for performing.

Thank you. I'm swamped with literature at the moment but if I have time I'll pick at it some. I have auditions coming up. I was actually thinking about this the other day...
