8/12/2005 I've gone through the score and recording of your Sonatina Rondo for Trombone and Piano. I'm very impressed with your writing. It's a marvelous piece. The harmonies are delightful and consistent, the melodic development engaging, the structure clean. Nice. Brian – Moderator OTJ Forum Hi Joe, This piece is really good - I really like the fast section both parts. (Lament & Celebration for Bass Trombone) Mike Saville – Moderator – The Trombonist Online |

| "I play Joe's music now and then and it's fabulous!!! Try it and you'll be impressed" Mark Webster Principal Euphonium Bluegrass Wind Ensemble |
| From Allan von Schenkel – Contrabass Soloist – 3/10/2006 The recital last Saturday was really excellent. It was a full house and the audience loved the music. From that concert I was offered to play four more recitals at other art gallery openings. Your Soliloquy Triste went very well and was an excellent conclusion for my recital. I strongly believe that your piece will have continued success. It fits my program very well as it is accessible ... it is emotional and its lyrical lines lend themselves perfectly to a variety expressions. It is for these reasons that I ended my program with this lovely unaccompanied work. |
| Comments from the Composer Forum – on the world premier of The Willson Concertante “what an absolutely brilliant, wonderful, joyful, ecstatic, rambunctious piece! is it my imagination or is this a little bit more "tonal" than we're used to hearing from you? it has such a festive feel. I was sort of surprised the audience didn't JUMP to scream their applause at the end! that was just so much fun! I was down before listening to it, but it sure helped pick me up! bravo “ Michel R. Edward compositeur Ville Saint- Laurent, Québec “Joe, I love your Euphonium Concerto. It really shows what a beautiful tone the instrument is capable of, and at the same time it shows how incredibly athletic it can be. Your Concerto is a fantastic, colorful, and challenging showpiece for the soloist as well as the ensemble - and the performance is as good as any of us could hope for. The pedal tone in movement II really took my breath away.” Hal ”Hi Joe, I just finished listening to the whole recording. Congratulations. The applause was well deserved. Has the euphonium player caught his breath back yet? ” Ron |
| The Music of Joe Miserendino 27.5.2006 I thought In My Heart was beautiful. It is refreshing to hear Sue’s natural Baritone sound as I hate Baritone players who attempt to mimic the output from Euphoniums - entirely different textures. I also liked Malcolms two items very much. Joe has produced a masterpiece (yet again!) with his Willson Concertante for Euphonium and Wind Orchestra. Very well played Charley! |
| Fanfare Festival by Miserendino Great melody lines, Great development of the ideas as the piece progresses. Dig the break into the climactic ending, excellent work on this piece. Respect. Phil Fantastic! My overall favorite in the Superbowl! I just love your use of rhythmic variation - Your signature harmony is wonderful What a finish Albert Syeles - A fine work Joe, the writing seems to have come very easy to you and it has lovelyshape and sounds. So many fanfares are just 'noise’. Highams |
