Update #19: Editing Complete! Harold Brown's String Music coming soon.

Posted on February 29

Dear Supporters & Friends,

 We are relieved to report that the CD program notes by Dr. Mailman and editing/mastering by Marc Aubort are complete and conveyed to ALBANY Records for production and distribution!

We thank Tessera Quartet, particularly Cordelia Paw, who while at a new position at Yale coordinated the artists vetting the process, while most were at various gigs: LA, Juilliard etc, requiring patience and skill, overseen by Marc's unmatched experience.

We will keep you informed about availability and especially about a festive launch event/party.

Tell your friends and giftees about ALBANY TROY 1352. (Easy to remember as the last year of the "Black Death"!)

We are happy to receive additional donations as then we can make many more CDs available to your friends at wholesale rate, and ensure a dynamite party. This I believe is best done by PayPal at our site: www.renaissancechorus.org> or by check to the Renaissance Chorus Association, Inc* at the address noted.

In any case message us if your mailing address has changed since May 2011.

I will post our pre-production draft of the Record Notes to you if you like. The Booklet will probably edited some by ALBANY. Please message us!

Gratefully Yours, Sig Rosen

As Renaissance Chorus archivist and Association president, I became aware of a body of original work for strings, orchestra and vocal soloist written by Brown in the 1930s and ’40s and have since vigorously promoted the idea of ensuring that his work be recorded so that it may be accorded a rightful place in the world of music and enjoyed by the larger public. We feel honored to carry out the wishes of Brown's family and former students in sharing his legacy with all who seek to deepen their awareness of fine American music.
