|  Christopher Lacy, visiting assistant
professor of music and director of Opera Theater at the University
of Arkansas, has signed contracts with two music publishers.
An active composer, Lacy said his works have been performed throughout
the United States, Europe and Asia.
Falls House Press has chosen Three Mediterranean Landscapes, a
new work for flute choir and percussion, for publication in 2008.
Located in New Hampshire, Falls House Press is a music publisher
that specializes in music for flute. Theodore Presser, one of the
largest music companies in the U.S., distributes their publications
internationally.
According to Douglas Worthen, co-owner of Falls House Press, Lacy’s
new work stood out among the many submissions received at the press.
He describes the composition as “harmonically and technically
ambitious” and as “capturing moods that keep the audience
and performers thoroughly engaged.”
Two other recent works by Lacy have been selected for publication
by Trevco Music, an Internet-based publisher and distributor of
music for double reeds.
Slated for publication in spring 2008 is Lacy’s Stick
Figures for two clarinets and two bassoons. His Quintet
for Winds will be published in the fall of 2008.
Publisher and editor Trevor Cramer of TrevCo describes Lacy’s
music as “innovative, refreshing and creative.” He
says that the new pieces are “a wonderful addition to the
literature available to the double reed player and others.”
