La Mer: The Real Story

 La Mer: The Real Story
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/13-06-15-La_Mer.jpg> 

In the summer of 1905, Claude Debussy was ecstatic that he'd finally
finished his three-movement symphonic sketches for orchestra but bummed that
he couldn't think of a name for it. Symphony of Thongs? El Salon Texico? Bee
Eater Grimes? Nothing seemed to fit. So, one afternoon, he took time off to
visit a Parisian pal whose flat overlooked the Seine. As more friends
stopped by, the sedate atmosphere turned rowdy. Entertainment proceeded to
the rear balcony where, to impress a young lady, a man did the classic
banana peel pratfall. But he slipped too far to the left and plunged into
the river, yelling "Merde!" as he fell. Debussy only heard the first part of
the curse but that was good enough for what became, of course, his tune's
title.

Calling for Proposals for HARD EIGHT

 Hard Eight <http://www.voxnovus.com/img/Hard_Eight.gif> 

Deadline August 8, 2013


Composer's Voice is calling for performance proposals for its concert
scheduled December 8th, 2013. The theme for the concert is "Hard Eight" All
proposals must be less than 8 minutes in total; applicants are STRONGLY
urged to keep their proposals for performances between 4-8 minutes. The
concert is a celebration of Composer's Voice founder and Director Robert
Voisey for his 44th birthday. 

Performance Proposals should include:
- Title
- Relation to theme - (program notes)
- Instrumentation
- Length of performance
- Biographies of performers and composers 
- All proposals should be submitted by August 8, 2013 to
composersvoicesubmit at gmail.com
- The email subject should read Hard Eight - your name - Title of Proposal 


Chosen applicants will receive a performance slot on Composer's Voice
concert December 8th, 2013 at Jan Hus Church in New York City, PR and
administrative assistance from Composer's Voice, and the heartfelt
appreciation of Robert Voisey. :) 

Proposals should indicate if they need Vox Novus and Composer's Voice to
help recruit musicians. Any and all questions should be address to
composersvoicesubmit at gmail.com with "Hard Eight" in the subject heading. 

 Hard Eight <http://www.voxnovus.com/img/Hard_Eight.gif> 

Dice (commonly known as craps), is a game often played for money where the
player (referred to as the shooter) rolls 2 dice hoping to roll a winning
combination. The number 8 can be obtained 3 ways. The "easy way" by rolling
a 6 and 2 or a 3 and 5, or the "hard way" by rolling a 4 and 4. "Hard"
numbers are any 2 pair combinations: 2 and 2, 3 and 3, 4 and 4, 5 and 5, and
6 and 6. Betting on the "hard" number combination results in a larger return
when it is thrown. 

Rob Voisey will be turning 44 on this Composer's Voice concert in December;
and it will be "hard" as the age suggests. *Crap* :)
