Agreed...this morning I sent Loren's response to the other hornists of our orchestra, as a minidisc recording I made last rehearsal shows we need to be thinking about this, though our problem is poor entrance preparation rather than poor stage placement.

Conductors and stage personnel will listen to a reasonable solution after a botched perfomance due to improper stage setup. For armed with Lorens' explanation and ameniable staff, proper horn balance should be resolved. The conductor of local orchestra placed the horns on third risers 40+ feet from reciprocating wall in the nave of a church. The resulting cacaphony was ludicrous. After the peerformance he confronted the horns wanting to know "what's your problem". He didn't like the answer, but horn placement and sound reflectors have been utilzed ever since. --wabotte _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/fred.baucom%40ftb.ca.gov _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
