If
sometimes our great artist[s] have been the most critical of our
society, it is because their sensitivity and their concern for
justice, which must motivate any true artist, makes him aware that
our Nation falls short of its highest potential. I see little of
more importance to the future of our country and our civilization
than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to
nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free
to follow his vision wherever it takes him. We must never forget
that art is not a form of propaganda; it is a form of truth.

Kudos to our own Elizabeth Gaston (flute)! She'll be living her dream
this summer by playing at the Keowee Chamber Music Festival in the Carolina
mountains!
http://www.keoweechambermusic.org/ She'll be performing in all
the concerts during the first week of the festival with a fantastic guitarist as
well as playing a couple of solo pieces that she performed in Arizona for the
Flute Society Competition last November. "This is a renaissance for me! Playing
again professionally is a dream-come-true. If you were given a second chance at
life, can you imagine the possibilities?"

"Bill of Rights" for composers and songwriters.
rondeau (RON-do) noun A poem of 13 lines with two rhymes and the
opening words used as a refrain in two places.
[From Old French rondeau (little circle), from rondel, diminutive of rond
(round). Ultimately from the Indo-European root ret- (to run or to roll) that is
also the source of rodeo, rotunda, rotate, and roulette.] Various forms of
rondeaux may have 10 or 15 lines.
"If you are new to French forms, you might want to compose a rondeau or
two before attempting the redouble."
