<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/d15189da4954c14290e56e894923a9e409b7f8c2/original/myscore.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I now have a page on J.W. Pepper (www.jwpepper.com) where I offer a few of my pieces - with more to come. The emphasis on this page is more on school related music, but some church options are also available. You can preview the pieces with both a recording and view of the full score.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/67f42b259c1a1d149eff0714c77c9df5c23dbfba/original/churchorchestramusic.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I'm pleased to be included on the new Church Orchestra Music website (www.churchorchestramusic.com). This site features a huge selection of music from many of the best known writers of instrumental music in the country today - as well as great music from writers who are less familiar. It is constantly being updated and is the new "first stop" as you are seeking instrumental music for worship. Again, all music can be previewed with both recordings and scores.</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/69866732022-06-04T10:13:52-05:002022-06-24T11:15:56-05:00A New Horizon<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/895ce7d5af1aff378f835ae97422b76b27d8ba08/original/a-new-horizon.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>A nice start to my summer with the release of "A New Horizon" from Carl Fischer AND the J.W. Pepper selection as an "Editor's Choice" for new band works. The piece may be previewed (full score and recording) and purchased on the Pepper website: https://www.jwpepper.com/A-New-Horizon/11399499.item#.Yptq5ahKi2E </p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/68583252022-01-03T17:06:18-06:002022-01-03T17:06:19-06:00We Had Visitors!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/d89434dfcbd8d400ba4be370e1eccbaee1991f32/original/bandzoogle-2021.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />It is interesting to me to look back and see who "dropped by" to visit sdunnmusic.com this past year. I realize that this is a small "operation" here; so to see that thousands of individuals from 52 different countries stopped to take a look and give a listen is amazing and humbling for me. I do hope there has been some value derived from your visit and hope you'll come back. (And, hey - if you want to buy something or make personal contact for any reason, that would be great, too. :))</p>
<p>Blessings to everyone for a brand new year!</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/68069452021-11-12T09:52:18-06:002021-11-12T09:52:18-06:00New Publication<p>I am pleased to share that "A New Horizon", which was composed earlier in 2021 and has been available on this site for much of this year, will be released in 2022 by Carl Fischer. It is my first publication with them and I am excited to begin what I hope will be an ongoing partnership with this long-established and respected music publisher. </p>
<p>Because of this new association, "A New Horizon" will no longer be available through SDunnMusic.com - though you will still be able to listen to the demo and get information about purchasing the piece on this site. </p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/66583902021-06-13T15:54:40-05:002021-06-13T16:00:42-05:00New Music for Concert Band<p>I am happy to announce the addition of a new work for Wind Band, now available here at sdunnmusic.com!

<p>Each year I compose a piece for the high school student participants to premiere at our annual University of Mobile Honor Band. This past year was so exceptional and challenging in many ways due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but we were still able, miraculously, to hold the event. Our team went over and beyond in both hard work and creative adaptability to make this happen in a safe, effective manner. Also, the students who attended (in record numbers, actually) were terrifically cooperative, positive and hard working. It turned out to be a great Honor Band.</p>
<p>Because of the unique circumstances, I felt the piece I introduced should be upbeat, hopeful, full of joy and "to the point". The result was "A New Horizon" - where even the title is looking ahead to a better future. It starts with sparking woodwinds and light percussion and quickly builds to an energetic full band. A brief, melodic middle section - still at the same tempo - introduces some new thematic material that is then combined with the opening ideas, leading to a spirited conclusion. The piece has some rhythmic challenges and exists in alternating 3/4 and 4/4 meters for a good portion of the work. However, I was impressed with how quickly the students were able to "lock in" on those things and give such an enthusiastic and effective performance. I hope you will give it a listen! (Grade 3+)</p>
<p>By the way: Our next University of Mobile Honor Band for high school students will be February 10 - 12, 2022. Registration for that event will be available starting in August of this year at <strong><a contents="umobile.edu/honorband" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://umobile.edu/academics/alabama-school-arts/center-for-performing-arts/honor-band/"><span style="color:#16a085;">umobile.edu/honorband</span></a></strong>. We would love to have your students apply.</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/66505162021-06-05T19:03:16-05:002021-06-05T19:03:16-05:00It's Been A Year!...So Far (May)<p>I've been behind on posting news, so let's do some catch up - one month at a time. </p>
<p>Let's continue into May...</p>
<p>I had the chance to attend the 2021 Metro Instrumental Directors Conference in Tyler, Texas. This is a group I've been connected to for more than 30 years, though I've not been able to attend the annual conference as regularly in recent years. This year I was not only able to attend, but was one of the arranger/conductors of the opening concert (conducting my composition, "Centennial Fanfare Prelude"). I was also included in a round table discussion with other composers/arrangers (which is most of this group, by the way) on the current state of church music publishing. I expect we will see some very interesting things come out of that discussion.</p>

<p>The lovely month of April...</p>
<p>I was sent a link to this video of the Orchestra at Houston's First Baptist Church playing my arrangement of "Revelation Song". The director of the group is Tim Cates - who is also a very fine arranger and musician as well. They do a really nice job with this piece and I hope you will enjoy it! </p>

<p>Spring finally arrived in March. </p>
<p>The annual Instrumental Convergence, hosted by Texas Baptists, was scheduled to be held in Austin this year and I was to be the guest conductor/clinician for the event. Like so many things, it was cancelled for this year (and is now being rescheduled for early spring 2022). But rather than do nothing, Director of Music and Worship, Tom Tillman, hosted a virtual meeting which included a discussion on topics related to church instrumental music and a Q & A with those who "attended". It was a treat to be part of this discussion with Tom and David Winkler, a talented arranger and highly respected leader in the church music world - and a long time friend. It was a treat! </p>

<p>The second month of the year was a busy one, for sure!</p>
<p>One highlight of the month was that it marked my first opportunities to be in high schools and interact personally with students in over a year. I had the chance to assist a couple of different schools as they were preparing for spring festival assessments and was really glad to be "back in the saddle". </p>
<p>The biggest event of the month, however, was the 12th Annual University Of Mobile Honor Band, held on the university campus. This was particularly challenging during a pandemic, but our team worked above and beyond to make it happen. Rehearsals were held outside under a large tent, only partially enclosed, to allow for proper distancing and ventilation, and all of the normal protocols were in place. It was one of the best attended of our Honor Bands ever. Clinician Jason Warnix did a wonderful job and the students gave a terrific premiere of "A New Horizon", which I wrote for them - and which will be available for purchase on this site soon. It was difficult and yet beautifully memorable. Registration for the 2022 UM Honor Band will be open in August and will be found at: umobile.edu/honorband.</p>

<p>Let's start with January...</p>
<p>Once again I had the opportunity to be a judge for the annual Gulf Coast Steinway Society Concerto Competition. It's always enjoyable to see these young performers (Middle School, High School and Collegiate level) and encouraging to know that great teaching is still alive and well. It was different this year, of course. Live performers were masked, there was no live audience (thankful for streaming options!) and although some competitors performed in person, others participated live via Zoom. I appreciate the GCSS's commitment to providing this opportunity in a pandemic year and looking forward to a return to a more normal event next year. For information on the 2022 competition, go to the GCSS website: gulfcoaststeinwaysociety.org</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/f7491fb1979b9a4bcae9c2a3e97a1a21fe0e31fc/original/gcss-concerto-comp-2021.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/65108222020-12-31T09:08:18-06:002021-04-21T12:09:30-05:00Look Who Came To Visit!<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/c8ad6a91d18f3143bbab4bdfbe7b0a2cbb2db1af/original/screenshot-12.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" />It's always good to look back at the year we are leaving - even 2020...in all of it's *glory* - and think about the connections and interactions we've had with other people during that time. (Everything important in life ultimately comes down to people and not stuff, right?) For me, it's interesting to see how this website (which I know is, like me, NOT really a big deal) has managed to connect with thousands of people all over the world. I've had visits from people in 43 different countries this year. Most hits have been from the US, of course - though my Brazilian friends have come in a pretty close 2nd, particularly when it comes to listening to music! I do wonder how many of you EVEN FOUND this site, if you discovered anything of value, if you were encouraged or inspired in some way...all those sorts of questions. Whatever the answer, I'm grateful that you stopped by. You have reminded me that our world really is quite small and deeply interconnected at many levels. I hope that you will come again and pray that you will indeed find something to lift your spirits and perhaps enhance your personal, academic or ministry related music worlds. </p>
<p>Until then, may you have a blessed New Year and may the peace of our Lord be at work in your heart and life in 2021.~~~Steve Dunn</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/65004472020-12-15T21:24:25-06:002021-01-20T02:46:24-06:00New Commission Presentation<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/394756/967daad5b3062ea09c29c78218ea1dda1ee6485b/original/trinity-bc.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I was given the great treat yesterday of participating in a surprise Christmas "gift" presentation - virtually, of course. The members of the Trinity Baptist Church Orchestra in Raleigh, North Carolina, commissioned me to create an orchestra arrangement as a gift to their Worship/Music Pastor, Mr. Steve Byers. The arrangement is of the old American hymn tune "NETTLETON", which most know as "Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing" - one of Steve's favorite hymns. They surprised him during a group Zoom call and allowed me to be a guest for the presentation. It was incredibly heart warming to see the love each of these individuals have for one another and an honor to be part of the process. </p>
<p>A premiere performance will have to wait, of course, until the pandemic subsides enough for groups to safely gather, rehearse and perform - something for ALL of us to look forward to sometime this next year. For all commissions that I fulfill, I grant exclusive usage of the work to the commissioning individual or group for a period of time up to a year. So this piece will be publicly available for purchase late in 2021.</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/64868082020-11-27T10:29:28-06:002020-11-27T10:29:28-06:00It's Christmas!

<p>Now that Thanksgiving is past here in the US - though the extra pounds will take a while longer - it is "officially" the Christmas season. (I know, many stores have had Christmas decorations up or on display for two months now...but still...) My tradition here on SDunnMusic.com for many years has been to move all of my available Christmas recordings to the front of the site wide audio player. At the bottom of any page, you can find the player and press "Play" for almost an hour's worth of Christmas music. Most of these are recordings of pieces available in print for orchestra, choir, string quartet and small, mixed ensemble. Some of the pieces are not available for purchase (like "Sleigh Ride" - which is a long story - and a couple of pieces written for and recorded by the Celtic group, Welsh Revival, for example); but everything is available for listening. I do hope you enjoy it AND I hope you'll share it with others. Merry Christmas!</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/64427942020-09-25T11:17:53-05:002021-03-01T06:29:53-06:00Is Music Forever?<p>There has been less "happening" to talk about and share during this time of global pandemic, so I thought I'd bring back something from a few years past. This was part of a video series from the University of Mobile, where I teach, featuring faculty on various topics of interest to them. I hope this will be of interest to you and, perhaps, be a point of some thinking and conversation. Hang in there during these challenging times! </p>

You can hear recordings of both pieces here: https://sdunnmusic.com/concert-band-works.</p>
<p>First of all, we have "Morning Song" - a beautiful setting for solo flute and band of a 200+ year old Appalachian folk hymn. This was commissioned and premiered by retired flute professor Robert Pritchard with the University of Mobile Symphonic Winds, in October, 2019, and it was a really lovely moment. The band parts are a musical challenge more than a technical challenge (about Grade 3), though the solo part requires a good player. </p>
<p>Next we have "John Henry", which was written for our annual University of Mobile Honor Band held in February of this year. (I compose a piece for that group of high school students to premiere every year...and students can sign up for 2021 starting in August at umobile.edu/honorband.) </p>
<p>"John Henry" is the 5th and final installment in an ongoing "American Legends" concert band series. You can "hear" John Henry's name in the opening motif, listen to the chant of a railroad crew laying down track (sung by members of the band), then follow the contest between him and a steam powered drilling machine. Dramatic and exciting stuff.

It is part of the series Stringscapes, Vol. 1, which I arranged for Lillenas Publishing Company and which may be purchased through Lorenz (https://www.lorenz.com/instrumental/small-groups/stringscapes-vol-1). They do a nice job here!</p>

For all instrumental works we sell, you may add that work to your shopping cart, purchase it through PayPal and then download the PDF files. </p>
<p>For choral works, you will still need to contact me (steve@sdunnmusic.com). There does not yet seem to be a clear way to set the required 5 copy purchase minimum in the store parameters; so we'll still have to take care of that one the old-fashioned way. I'm sorry for that inconvenience.</p>
<p>You do always, of course, have the option of contacting me directly (again, it's steve@sdunnmusic.com) if you wish to pay by check. I can send the files and an invoice very quickly. </p>
<p>Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions or issues of any kind. We want to make this as easy and accurate as possible.</p>The Music of Steve Dunntag:sdunnmusic.com,2005:Post/60934942020-01-12T20:21:09-06:002021-04-12T06:08:01-05:00January 12, 2020<p>For the third consecutive year, I will have the privilege of being part of the Concerto Judging Panel for the Gulf Coast Steinway Society's 2020 Music Competition for Piano and Instrumental Concerto, January 18, 2020. This is the fifth annual competition for the solo category and the third year for the concerto competition. It is always a treat to hear these young people (middle school, high school and collegiate divisions) present wonderful musical offerings - and a treat to hear them again each September as the winners perform with the professional GCSS Orchestra. </p>

It's my setting of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", performed by a conservatory group in Portugal. Adapted for woman's vocal ensemble from the original SATB and accompanied by orchestra, it is lovely performance set in the gorgeous Funchal Cathedral. I hope you enjoy it!</p>
