Sermon, for narrating pianist

www.MyNameIsAndyCostello.com

"Sermon is essentially a history lecture on the piano recital tradition, with piano accompaniment (or as I like to say, 'A history lesson on wheels'). The musical content is comprised almost entirely of quotation, from well-known excerpts from the piano literature, to lesser-known ones, to others of which perhaps only one or two (or three) people in the world would recognize. The text is newly written, aside from a few quotes, and it is entirely married to its musical accompaniment (please keep this mind if you decide to read the text before the piece's audition). Although I generally have an inclination for verbosity in my program notes, I feel this is all there is to say, since I do so much damn talking in the piece itself." -AC

It's great to step into your crazy universe Andy, you are a fantastic pianist and a great showman. It's not the kind of music I usually listen to and it was very refreshing.

You should REALLY invest in better audio/video equipment. A simple compact digital camera for $100 can deliver HD video, and you can get a very decent microphone for the same price (like a ZoomH2). Perhaps YouTube is merely a musical curiosity for the live performer you are, but you'd make a happy subscriber if you did.
