DEDICATION SUITE — Featuring MovementS 1 & 2
Dedication Suite honors people who have had a profound musical and/or personal influence on my life, reflecting meaningful experiences from the past to the present. Pictured above is the grand opening of the Montgomery Ward building in Anderson, Indiana—an iconic landmark in my family’s musical journey. This building later became Joe’s Record Shop and then Anderson Music Center, owned by my father, Larry Mechem Sr. Today, it remains in the family, owned by my brother, LJ, and serves as the home of LM Products, Inc., a successful musical accessory company founded by my father in the 1970s. This space stands as a lasting connection to the Mechem family’s musical roots.
The audio presented below was produced using Sibelius and NotePerformer and mixed by Mike Mechem in Logic Pro.
This music is being presented as an introduction to the work and as a step toward bringing Dedication Suite to life through a full live performance and recording.
