Regarding CD5278 in that New Arrivals 8/26 batch up above…..David Gaines is an AU alumnus (M.A. in composition, 1987), spent more than his fair share of time in the music library (housed in the Kreeger Building in those days), and if you press him he’ll admit that he’s not unhappy to be keeping company in this blog post with Mozart, Beethoven, and Anne-Sophie Mutter…..
David – thank you for your comment! It’s always exciting to run into other eagles! We are all proud of what our brothers and sisters from the university have accomplished! I’m listening to CD 5278 currently as I type from my desk in the music library (housed in Katzen)
Nice….thanks very much.
Following the wise advice given me by my composition teacher at the Peabody Conservatory (“he that tooteth not his own horn, the same shall not be tooted”), perhaps the music library folks could set up a display of AU alumni/faculty-related recordings?

I think you will like this week’s Friday Faves.
And yes, I think some kind of AU alumnus CD is for sure worth recognizing. I am the student marketing coordinator the music library this year, and this would be a good thing to make a small deal about.
Or a medium deal.
While we’re on this subject, would it be possible for you to see if Noah Getz, the saxophone prof at AU, received a copy of this CD? He was on the comp list I gave to the record label. If not, I can send him one myself. The last piece on the album is a baritone saxophone concerto in which I think he’d be interested.
Hello again,
Ironically Noah is my professor. I am a saxophone performance major at AU. I just talked with him, he said he will check in his box to see if the CD arrived.
Interesting, I don’t think we had a single classical saxophone student when I was here…….why don’t you drop me a line at the Contact page of my website (click above) so we don’t clog up your blog with this chitchat……
