Click above to listen
Here is the audio file Warren submitted to the composers contest on Facebook sponsored by Make Music, maker of the Garritan orchestra of computer instruments. Each composer’s entry is limited to 90 seconds. Warren’s piece is called “Exotic Places, Amazing Sights”, and during the week of March 16-22, 2012, Facebook users can vote for this entry daily (On Facebook, search for Garritan Composers Contest). Finalists will be chosen based on the votes from the public. Here is the piece’s description:

This composition deliberately uses exotic harmonies and rhythms, featuring especially a lively 11/4 time, always divided into five beats, then six beats. Shifting threes and twos help make the music seem that it’s from a far-away place. All of the percussion instruments come from the Garritan library of unusual world instruments, mixed with conventional percussion. The additional scoring is for marimba, harp, piano, celesta, violin, cello, acoustic guitar, tuba, sop sax, bass clarinet, English horn, bassoon, and bass.
