DR. MYRON MOSS

It was an honor to attend concerts by Myron Moss when he was at Southern Connecticut State University.

Dear Paul S. Christensen, I have an autograph score of "Saying Goodbye." Please contact me if you would like to have a photograph of it. Charles Morscheck, [email protected].

Though it's 12 years later, I've just heard the new (here). He was our high school band director, where I played clarinet under him 4 years. Does anybody remember that he composed "Saying Goodbye" in 1984 or 1985? I would love to find this beautiful work.

Mike was one of the finest, most decent people I've ever known. I still think of him often. His early departure from our lives is terribly sad. There aren't many like him. I knew him from the time he graduated from high school until shortly before his passing. My whole family loved him.

I am the trombone professor at Kent State University and I knew Mike when I was a freshman in high school when I attended a 3 week tour of Europe with the CT Ambassadors of music band in 1979 that Mike directed and chaperoned. Just today, I was writing a letter of recommendation for a student who is applying for DMA positions and noticed in his bio that he was a winner of the 2016 CBDNA Mike Moss award. I made the association to the Mike I knew as a young student. It's a small world and...

Mr. Moss, as I knew him in the 9th grade through most of my highschool experience at Ledyard was simply amazing.

He said he needed a barisax player, and loaned me the school's barisax (which I'm learning tonight is properly referred to as a baritone sax). This gentelman had amazing patience, love, and kindness. I'm overwhelmed with sorrow to realize...

On Sunday, December 6, 2015, at 7:00 pm. the Drexel Concert Band will present a concert featuring "Where the Good Sounds Live," a piece composed in memory of Mike by Alvin Singleton. Drexel was one of the universities that joined to commission this work. The composer will be present. If you can be in the Philadelphia area that weekend, please come!
