[TPIN] Trumcor mute

[Michael Anderson]

It is called "Sonata Through Salt-Rimmed Glasses" written by Edward Knight
the composer in residence here at Oklahoma City University.

I premiered it at ITG this summer - the review is at the bottom of this
page:

It is a great piece that is lots of fun to work on and play. The recording
is going to be released with the score from Subito Music which you can
purchase now. I will probably have the recording on my web site when it is
done. I'll let Y'all know. (notice the okie accent?)
