Tonospheres, a woodwind trio for flute, clarinet, and bassoon written by Dr. Daniel Perttu, Westminster College assistant professor of music, was recently published by BRS Music, Inc., in Indianapolis.
Tonospheres, which premiered in 2006, has been performed in Ohio, Tennessee, and Louisiana, including a performance at the Society of Composers Region IV conference. The composition won first place in the Johnstone Woodwind Master Series competition, where it was judged by bassoonist and composer Arthur Weisberg.
Perttu, who joined the Westminster faculty in August, is the music theory program coordinator. He earned an undergraduate degree from Williams College, two master's from Kent State University, and doctorate from Ohio State University. His compositions have been performed in 18 states and China, and he was recently commissioned by the Johnstone Fund for New Music at the Columbus Foundation to compose for the Johnstone Woodwind Master Series at Ohio State University.
