and NO this is not my first symphony! And not 'Symphony No. 1' but titled 'Symphony ONE' - that its name. But it should've been called 'Symphony En Saga' for the 17 year legacy and struggle to put it in this incredible 'Mahler-sized' final form. That struggle has been won it IS published; now begins the road to recognition so that it may truly exist in music. The three (yes 3!) prototypes of this work are behind me but I still love the recording I made of its original chamber form in 1995-96, I may yet release that. Meanwhile the search begins for that very special conductor/mentor who will introduce it to the world. -- To find out how this music sounds, mp3's of the computer play versions are available through contact with Michael Guy, a.k.a. Michael Guy L'Ecluse...a man who's been composing since 1975 in the face of thick and thin It may be stupidity to you but to us composers (and the Masters have been of the greatest help here) it IS DEDICATION!
