As a dabbler in the conducting world I feel a real need to get out in front of what's going to happen here (it's a conductor thing)
Yes, I do know the difference between a bull and an orchestra, I feel sorry for the snake and I'm okay with no skid marks and I know that a conductor buried up to his neck in sand means that you ran out of sand. of course this knowledge dates from the time before I turned from the Force and went to the dark side. I was speaking to my friend Scott Brubaker on Sunday and he told me that the Met Opera will be doing a set of performances of Rossini's Armida starting next week (with Renee Fleming) I have NEVER heard this - he went on to say that there are big solos for 1st and 3rd horn in the overture. Does anyone have an mp3 or know of a good performance available? As an aside, The Ridgewood Concert Band is performing the Overture to Siege of Corinth (another little played Rossini Opera with a beautiful horn solo in the overture) Tuesday 2/22 (principal horn, Carolyn Kirby is terrific). This will be a joint concert with the Texas Christian U. Wind Symphony - info on the RCB website. best to all Chris >>> Walter Lewis <[email protected]> 2/15/2011 8:20 AM >>> Paul, As we all know, some conductors just need shooting! Steve Mumford and I know of one here in Metro Detroit that is so bad, that he can't conduct electricity let alone a symphony orchestra. This guy falls into the category I just mentioned. Shooting his would be the only merciful thing to do for the sake of music.

I was going to note the need for caution (or, at least, discretion). Disabling cell phones prevents folks from using them for emergency purposes. If a student in the class, for example, started shooting at folks (well, it's happened...), no one could call 911 and report it. _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/corno911%40aol.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/lewhorn9%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/cwilhjelm%40pascack.k12.nj.us _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
