first I am sorry for starting WW3. second this is what I did.
I ask the conductor him being the all knowing god and me just a smple college horn
player.
he said; " either it is itilian meanig "si" as in solfegio (i.e rasied 5 scale Degree),
or it is spainish and Si is C, So if it is C# alto read it like c alto then Raise every
thing, but if it is, rasied 5 scale Degree, or G# then it is "in g# # alto" or a alto
(which is the same as A horn right).
I am unsure which is correct, or if either is correct does any one know ?
I concur with the poster who said "tell us the name of the piece and the
composer." Maybe if we know these we can figure something else out.
Checking the key of other wind parts, especially transposing instruments
like the trumpets and clarinets, may also be useful, but it could even be useful
if you could learn what key the violins are in.
From his answer I get the idea that either the conductor has no idea himself or he is being a jerk about it. A good look at the score should give him the answer.
