He wrote an encore piece for Hilary Hahn at the very least. I think this concerto is going to be great and James Ehnes is one of my favorite living violinists...
Count me in too. Has JNH ever written a concert work before?
"I Would Plant A Tree" in 2008/09
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. Is it available anywhere?
I guess you could also call his GRAND CANYON suite a concert piece of sorts, even though it was written for a film.
There's a mockup online someone did from the sheet music, but last time I checked there wasn't a recording available. There's a bit of the End Credits music from The Happening repurposed in it.
Looks like a CD is being released in September 2018 in USA.
