[size=150]"[color=#0000FF]T.K.”

Complimentary New Music for Big Band by

Eric Richards

(Sheridan College, WY)

in cooperation with the

USAF Academy Band FALCONAIRES


Greetings all,

Last year, I wrote a piece for big band titled “T.K.” in tribute to Tom Kinnison, a friend and one of our strongest local advocates for the arts who recently passed. I am extremely grateful to MSgt Chris Hammiel and the USAF Academy FALCONAIRES for their collaboration in premiering the piece last September. Here is a YouTube link to that performance:

FREE DOWNLOAD

In the tribute to Tom’s advocacy for the arts and his generosity to our community, I’m making the score and parts to “T.K.” are available for free PDF download. Stop by the Sheridan College Music page:

scroll down and look for the “T.K. Download” button. If you do happen to perform the piece, we would love to know about it. It would be fun to see how far “T.K.” travels!

Best wishes,

Eric

Yep, nice chart! Beyond the capabilities of any band I play in now, but that will change (I hope!)

Yep...although I'm not *exactly* a civilian...I'm a retired Army MSG.

Say hi to Brian Bull for me.
