I have a wide variety of compositions that I have decided to make available for purchase. Below is a list of pieces and some samples. All pieces are sent out as a printed-out score (bound) and parts (I tape them myself). This is an ongoing process so please check back as more pieces become available.

Email me at curha at nyc.rr.com to order/get more details or ask questions.

 

Large Group Pieces

Title	Instrumentation	Price	Remarks
The Brunt	E/O*	$60	From the Either/Orchestra album, "the Brunt." Given two stars in a Downbeat listening test by James Moody for not being cohesive enough and relaxing. Based on a four note motif.
Unnatural Pastime	E/O*	$60	From the E/O album, "the Calculus of Pleasure." Riff-jazz meets fake serialism.
Ain't No Dummy	E/O*, Full Big Band	$60	Never recorded. Formerly known as Ms. Moon. Someone used "Thad Jones" in describing this piece. Personally, I don't see it.......
Ain't No Dummy	Ballin the Jack**	$60	Four horns instead of seven. Slightly diff't orchestration.
Doghouse Interiors	E/O*	$60	From the E/O album "Across the Omniverse." Odd meter modal opus. You wouldn't know it was in 13/4 or F# minor!
Tautology	E/O*	$60	Never recorded. My favorite E/O piece (of my own....). A rollicking barely-tonal boogie woogie extravaganza.
Betaville	Ballin the Jack**	$60	As heard on the B the J album "the Big Head." Kinda fast mostly.
Notes on a Cliff	E/O*	$60	From the album "the Brunt". I was going for the sonata-allegro form here but it didn't really work out.
The Door	E/O*	$60	From the album "Across the Omniverse". Rich and creamy!
Up Here	DaHa***	$60	Written for the big band I co-lead with Andrew D'Angelo. Groovy broody modality.
Far-away Planet	DaHa***, Full Big Band	$60	The New Mellow Edwards classic fleshed out for a whole bunch more people (originaly arranged for the Ashland University big band but now a "solo vehicle" for Jim Black's big band roots).
