LIFE'S THIRD QUARTER: A musical romantic comedy, it is a very positive presentation of our life cycle as having gained one extra quarter. With change in life style being a primary focus, the musical play is evocative of the assumption that this is a creative third quarter - rather than that of merely having additional elderly years. As in any of the comicality, the sentimental is more profound, and of greater relevant substance, when taken from real life as in this play.
        A mature age group will identify with the premise that not only have we all statistically been granted an extra one quarter of life to enhance our 21st century lifestyle - we have been given a second chance. The twenty-two original scores of music set forth the premise that this is a time to live and love - again - in this, our life's third quarter.
        Performance and supplemental copies will be provided at no cost, upon registration and approval. Scenarios have been outlined for minimal set costs - needing only a few musicians, four dancers and seven enthusiastic singers!

PRAIRIE NOSTALGIA - A MUSICAL SUITE: The fourteen scores of music of this book are presented on usable pages of 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Three of the songs are supplemental to the Life's Third Quarter musical. Along with the overture they were originally cut due to program time constraints.
         "From a school of musical thought that is now rather historical, the notes are used exactly as a painter's brush, as they are evocative of that which the titles connote. The instrumentals are metaphors of sound, referencing sky, wind, rocks, streams, plodding waltz techniques and first love. They evolve into melody lines with the prairies presented metaphorically and beautifully. As a style of music from the past, they begin with a preamble, building to be more integrate and interesting towards a final crescendo."
         TEN INSTRUMENTALS: Prairie Rock - Winding Stream - First Prairie Love - Under Blue Skies - Prairie Syncopation - Rowing Across - Prairie Heritage - Horse Rose Waltz - A Wind With Which To Sing - Overture To Life's Third Quarter.
