Joe Miserendino was involved with music throughout his school years. Some personal circumstances made it necessary to pursue other avenues. However he never lost his love for music and in 2000 he was able to retire and concentrate on his first love.
He has written music for a variety of instrument combinations - solos, ensembles, bands and orchestras. A number of his pieces have been published and performed. His Euphonium and Tuba works will be included in the Euphonium Source Book and Tuba Source Book. Since August 2003, through his web-site, he has provided numerous free scores and parts, primarily to college students and to people all over the world. He also maintains contact with, and exchanges music, ideas and critiques with many musical friends around the world
He wrote The Willson Concertante (with permission of the Willson Company) to commemorate Charley Brighton becoming a featured Willson Euphonium soloist. It was premiered in 2005. Also in 2005 Mr. Brighton premiered Summer Celebration (for Euphonium and Strings) with the Nonesuch Orchestra in London.
