About Me -
Pamela J. Marshall

I write music for orchestra, chamber ensembles, chorus; play the French horn; and enjoy freestyle improv. My blog is named after a piece I wrote for cello and piano called Elusive Sleep. Check out my sheet music and recordings at spindrift.com. I used to live in Massachusetts, USA. In 2023, I relocated to Portugal.
