A Midnight Dance…
through the Poison Garden
Adjacent Alnwick Castle, in Northumberland, England, is a vast complex of formal gardens. Amongst these gardens sits a smaller one that is only accessible through a black gate. And fixed to the front of this gate is a sign with a prominent skull & crossbones, and the words, "THESE PLANTS CAN KILL." Visitors are forbidden from touching, tasting, or smelling any of these plants or risk the natural consequences.
A Midnight Dance... Through the Poison Garden imagines one entering through these gates and dancing their way through this precarious organic environment. The intoxicating element of danger guiding their steps and movement under the light of a full moon.
A PDF copy of the score that is watermarked with the purchasing ensemble or buyer’s name. Note that this score is eligible for a single printing. If you need multiple scores for contests or clinics, then hard copies of the score will need to be purchased.
A set of PDF parts that are exclusive to the ensemble they are being purchased for.
PDF copy of the score and parts will be watermarked with the purchasing ensemble or buyer’s name. Note that PDF scores are eligible for a single printing. If you need multiple scores for contests or clinics, then multiple hard copies of the score will need to be purchased. Parts can be printed out as needed to fit the personnel of the ensemble.
When you purchase Parts you are also purchasing a Site License. Like computer software a Site License grants the purchasing ensemble/institution unlimited future performances as long as it is the purchasing ensemble/institution that is performing it. I ask then that purchased materials are not shared or distributed with any 3rd parties. If you are a conductor of an ensemble who has purchased one of my pieces and you are planning on using that piece for an honor band (All-State, Region, etc) then the coordinator of that honors ensemble will need to purchase materials for that group as performance materials are not transferable to other groups.
