This piece is so new, it hasn't got a title. It hasn't even been written yet. PSWE is spearheading the commissioning of a new work buy Adam Gorb that is a subversive patriotic march. The piece will be 6-7 minutes in length and will be in the vein of a Charles Ives or Kurt Weill dig at marches. Assuming that we get support for the project, this piece that will be suitable for high school and more advanced ensembles, will be completed for the fall of 2010. It will be premiered in the 2010-11 PSWE season.
What we are looking for is folks who are interested in supporting this commission. Anyone can support to the tune of $500 Canadian. For this financial contribution, each supporter will receive a copy of the score and parts (pre-publication) and will have their name printed in the published score. This is an excellent way of supporting composers and generating new works that will hopefully become part of the repertoire.
If you are interested, please comment to this post or email me directly. If you have questions about the project, please comment so that others may benefit from your inquisitiveness.

This sounds like a superb idea, Marc.
