Dear Gonçalo,
Congratulations for your nomination as Interim Director. Now that you are in America, we might have a chance to meet someday!
Just to keep in touch with you, I just received recordings of two of my string orchestra pieces : Couleurs and L’extase.
«Couleurs» was commishioned and premiere by the Montreal school FACE, high shool level.
L’extase is taken from the Suite du promeneur.
If curiosity and time allows it, this is the link to listen to them : http://louisbabin.com/acces-clients/paul/.
Password : porto.
Enjoy.
Sincerely,
Louis
