Try googling William Schuman prayer in time of war Louisville YouTube. There's another recording on YouTube by Seattle Symphony, same nice chord, but different bass Trombonist. Probably more than a runthrough and a half for that recording! On Feb 16, 2016 3:22 PM, "Barbara Touburg" wrote: > On 16

It is interesting to me how different traditions have evolved in different parts of the musical universe to accomplish similar ends. The first time a conductor explained what he wanted in solfège, I was pretty confused. That 7#9 construct is very common in funk and modern jazz, but it isn't pl
