Greetings,

	First, I must declare that I am a lover of brass band music, but not a
player.  Actually, I am a flautist.  But, more to the point, I am also a
composer.  I would like to write for brass band.  More immediately, I have a
piece that I would like to arrange for brass band.  I would also like to hear
various views on the subject of mutes.

	Now, I have, of course, played with instruments found in brass bands, as
I was a bandsman in high school  (thirty years and more ago), and I have heard
brass bands live and on disc and on radio.

	One of the things that I am enjoying reading the contributions to this
list is what I must call "brass band culture".  Getting a feel for this helps in
my thinking about writing for brass.  Thank you, all of you, for for this
glimpse into a wonderful world.  Almost makes me wish I'd played cornet instead
of flute...

	So, I hope you will be able to help me in my humble endeavours.

Yours,

Robin
