Dear Visitors from Old, Near, Dear, Far, and Away,

Hello and welcome to The Beethoven Episodes, a music project devised by myself, Benjamin Harry Sajo, a composer and teacher based in Ottawa, Canada.

I present, for you, nine short original orchestral works (the last includes choir and solo singers) inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven's 250th anniversary amid the Covid-19 Pandemic of 2020.

They were my way of artistically interpreting the times. I am now aiming towards bringing these pieces to life, which of course can only occur through real, human partnerships and collaborations. I invite anybody with a musical inclination, but especially:

• Orchestral instrumentalists,

• Classical-style singers and choristers,

• Conductors,...

• Mentors, Producers, and Orchestra Committees...

...to explore each composition, including instrumental parts, synthesized mock-ups, and play-along YouTube videos with both visual and aural click-track cues. Please click on each of the scores in the drop-down menu under "Music" to learn more. As well, please read my further reasoning behind this project under "My Motivations." Finally, if you feel inspired by the music and would like to participate in a virtual performance, please click on "Virtual Concert" This has very much been a labour of love over the past several months, and now I feel it is the time for sharing this with the people who can make it real.

Thank you for your time; I look forward to hearing from you!

Ben
