From the Windy Place – PDF with MP3 free

I am experimenting with including MP3s with PDF downloads of my scores. As a teaser, the first ten people to go to From the Windy Place and order using the Promo Code “WINDY” can download a PDF of From the Windy Place for free. Offer lasts for one week only, now until midnight July 23. If it’s popular, we’ll try a variety of other pieces. Offer good for PDF downloads only. Both products will come in a zip file you can easily open by double clicking.

The “Windy Place” represented here is the coast of Spain north of Santiago de Compostela where I traveled with my wife after giving a concert for the festival Musica en Compostela in the summer of 1982. It was magical and our first son’s name, Nathan [“gift” in Hebrew] Guthrie [“from the windy place” in Gaelic], is a remembrance of that time. The movements are: Pilgrim’s Road, Sand and Sky, In the Shadow of the Church, and The Gift.

The MP3 is a recording I released in 2000, Vol. 1 of my own new works. It was recorded in a small wooden church near our home in New Hampshire on my 1964 Fleta guitar using Schoepps omni-directional mics.
