I think we (composers) should bring back hand manuscript for its viable professional advantages. Not because it is old, or tried and true, but because it is flexible, personal, and represents a tactile relationship with the page (with pencil and paper) that translates to touching the music.

Have I created a new genre: the Dinky Singspiel? (continue here…) After writing two series of “scenes” for working life in the offices of the Tufts University Music Department,

Dinky Singspiel:

New form?
Sing, play
Future way.

Quick fix?
Small thrall,
Concert hall?

A composer lives symbiotically through performers.
