And I think the music is quite delightful. And, despite certain
infelicities, the recordings are quite listenable, even though they
were accomplished with a single sight-reading session for each piece.
Band folks: is there lots of this kind of stuff going on? If so,
that's *fabulous*!
Thanks for the link! Quite interesting!
There is stuff like this happening around. Take a look at this, on
"Custer's last Band":

Steve Charpié, who was in charge of this, was around Louisville for a
time after he did this (played some extra with the LO), and I bought a
copy of the CD from him. We spoke about trying to make some of the
music available for modern ensembles. He seemed pretty exhausted with
the project, but I wasn't - I had an idea of taking the Finale files he
had prepared for the small group from the CD, go back to his photocopies
of the Vinatieri MS's, and publish something both scholarly and
playable, (probably for modern brass band as the closest thing to
Vinatieri's ensemble). But we never got past the talking on the tour
bus stage before he left town for good.
