Mile-High Mayhem!

Does the flugel solo remind anyone else of old elevator music?

So. Many. Drum. Notes. But so well played

The book for BD is really starting to grow on me. But those poles still do absolutely nothing for me.

Has anyone measured how much the brass line actually plays in this show, and then subtracted the time spent on mic'd Solos?

That Euphonium solo is gorgeous.

I'm not a purist about a lot of things but this is taking the Rite of Spring too far for me. It sounds like a 70's game show.

You should probably write to Brenzel and Don Sebesky for this one... Certainly, they opened a can of worms by trying to change a piece like this that caused such controversy in the classical music world. It took me more than few times to jive with the Sebesky and the more I listened to his style of writing, the more it made sense coming from the original. Coincidentally, its on the same CD as "Bird and Bela in Bb", BD 1991, which has long been one of my favorite brass books that WD has ever written! :thumbup:

Frankly don't care for the ending either...

Weird, unsettling, but oddly appealing, in a dark primal sense...
