“Glen Shannon Music was founded in 1998 when the Prelude & Fugue in D Minor for SSATB recorders (now published as SMM100) won first prize in 1997 in the biennial composition contest sponsored by the Chicago Chapter of the American Recorder Society. The main focus is publishing music for recorder ensembles, but that could change at any moment. One of the basic rules of my music is that all parts are interesting - after spending years in high school and college concert bands, I learned that it's boring playing all whole-notes on the contrabass clarinet, or in the third clarinet section. So I like to keep everyone interested. The Prelude & Fugue is an excellent example of that philosophy.”
