Field Notes: Tuba Music from Iowa John Manning

One Thing About This Album: Ever since John Manning’s appointment to the faculty of the University of Iowa, he has been amazed and impressed with the breadth and depth of talent in the State of Iowa. All of the music on this recording has some connection to Iowa and Manning is quite proud of the quality and variety of the program. Some of the music was composed by former students (Claire Sievers and Katharine Wohlman), two works composed or arranged by Iowan composer Jerry Owen, two works commissioned by Manning himself, specifically for this recording (York and Pintos), and one work he composed (Cheese Spread).
