Evan Tonsing, Houston Symphony, Suspense, Night music, Oklahoma State University Music, short compositions

As I recall, when Professor Tonsing was in graduate school, he submitted this piece as his entry in a composition contest and won. One of the prizes was a premier by the Houston Symphony Orchestra. Recognition at a young age! Sorry the quality is not better – he probably copied this from a very old reel-to-reel tape.

Funny story about his film role. In the spring of 1978, I was in Professor Tonsing's freshman music theory class. One of the executives on the film had ties to Oklahoma State University, and decided to film some of the scenes in Stillwater. They put out a casting call to recruit locals to serve as extras in the film. Professor Tonsing applied and was given the role of news stand employee. The director wanted him to have a maniacal look in his eyes, so immediately before the scene was shot, she said something very insulting to him. Then, "action". The scene was filmed on a weekend. The following Monday, he discussed the experience in class. One of the students said that the director probably insulted him to intensify his angry look, and professor Tonsing agreed!
