I come bearing bad news - for the first time ever I have had my first turn-down in copyright! :cry:
My colourful orchestration of Philip Sparke's 'A London Overture' has been turned down, the two main reasons (given by Stan Kitchen - Editor at Studio Music) was that they felt they couldn't market the orchestral sheet music to orchestras and more importantly, Philip Sparke didn't like the idea of his music put to the orchestra, I was told by Stan, which is a real pitty since in my view his music is perfect for the orchestral idiom.
It's a very disapointing day now, when over a year ago I slaved over the score, now to find out that I might just get to use it for my own use in a local orchestra or something, and even that I'm pushing my luck.
I am sad, so sad :cry:
Anyhow - tomorrows another day! :lol:
