I am planning to try my hand at a longer piece for euphonium and piano soon. <BR/><BR/>Pete Seeger's recording was actually our youngest member's (he's 18) choice. Ben loves Pete Seeger for all the right reasons.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-18738140975611841242007-08-08T20:16:00.000-05:002007-08-08T20:16:00.000-05:00Very euphonious, a length I approve of (stays arou...Very euphonious, a length I approve of (stays around long enough to say something and leaves before the idea enters my mind first). I like it as it gets towards the end, it feels like something I find myself doing when writing for solo monophonic instruments, digging for some dissonance via half steps.Peter (the other)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13566863953900423495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-2052515177547247392007-08-08T19:59:00.000-05:002007-08-08T19:59:00.000-05:00Wow!

It has been a long time since I have taken such a family trip, and as much as I would give the world to be back with the late family traveling in a car, somehow I imagine some serious fighting over all that music before we had gotten to the Rte. 2 Concord rotary (by the prison, my dad mumbling "geez, youse guys outta be in der").<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the performance. The thought of solo euphonium makes me think of the marching Salvation Army brass bands one sees around London at Christmas time. They are always full of an assortment of brass instruments I don't often think of. Have you heard Mike Leigh's short film <I>The Short and Curlies</I>? Rachel Portman's score is for tuba and piccilo duet. I am off to listen to your opus.Peter (the other)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13566863953900423495noreply@blogger.com
