Pardon the double post, cousins, but this is good. Right now on NPRMusic, National Public Radio's music website, you can hear (or hear and see) a performance of David Bruce's terrific new octet "Steampunk." It's scored for strings, winds, and horn. Over the last week, I've listened to the piece five or six times, and I like it a lot.
Here, it's played by Ensemble ACJW, a "collective of about 20 hand-selected graduates of major conservatories, [whose] members receive mentorship and professional development while working as music teachers in New York City Public Schools." The horn part is both prominent and meaty. The hornist is Leelanee Sterrett. "Steampunk" is on the second half of the program and begins at about 44:30. http://www.npr.org/2011/04/07/135117828/ensemble-acjw-at-wqxr?ps=mh_frhdl1 http://tinyurl.com/4xru6uh --John ****************************** John Edwin Mason, Photography: http://www.JohnEdwinMason.com Charlottesville and Cape Town _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
