<div dir="ltr">Below is a request from MASTA member Helene Bleecker, for a score and parts for Michigan Morn by H. Owen Reed. If you have this music please contact Helene.<div>Her information is included in the email below.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px"> Please let me introduce myself before I make a request of you. I am a long time ASTA member and a former ASTA camp director as well as an orchestra director in Adrian for 24 years. I am well aware of the complexity of your job and we all appreciate what you are called upon to do. Here is my dilemma.<br><br><span>I am now Board Chair of the Tecumseh Pops Orchestra & Community Chorus. We have a concert coming up in May with a theme of "Sounds of Pure Michigan." In keeping with that theme I have been trying to locate a Score and Full Orchestra parts for "Michigan Morn" by H. Owen Reed. I know that it has been played with Chorus and Orchestra at Michigan State, Wayne State, Blue Lake, and at Interlochen. All of these have been contacted and were very helpful in guiding me to other possibilities, all of which were contacted. The last suggestion with possibility came from Blue Lake. They said that probably the score and parts came from the Conductor's own school library. That sounded very logical to me.</span><br><br><span>So here is my request. Would it be possible for you to put out a plea to Michigan ASTA members to see if anyone would be willing to loan the score and parts for full orchestra for "Michigan Morn" by H. Owen Reed. We are willing to pay a rental fee and guaranteed return of the music promptly after our <span class="aBn" tabindex="0" style="border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:dashed;border-bottom-color:rgb(204,204,204)"><span class="aQJ" style>May 3rd</span></span> concert. I would even be willing to pick it up if it is available in the Metropolitan Ann Arbor or Detroit area.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px">Sincerely,<br><br><span>Helene Bleecker</span><br><a href="tel:%28517%29265-6735" value="+15172656735" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">(517)265-6735</a><br><span><a href="mailto:heleneb@tc3net.com" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">heleneb@tc3net.com</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-size:13px"><br></span><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">Timothy Staudacher</font><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">Staud's Studio</font></div><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">President, Michigan Chapter </font></div><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif"> American String Teachers Association</font></div><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">286 Randall Rd.</font></div><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">Norton Shores, Mich. 49441</font></div><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif">231.286.5427</font></div><div><font face="'comic sans ms', sans-serif"><a href="mailto:staudachert@gmail.com" target="_blank">staudachert@gmail.com</a></font></div></div></div>
