Dear Cabbage,
I have had far too much stout beer, a few too many manhattans and too my
knowledge I am the only Chris B on this list and I have never complained
about anyone writing diddly squat on parts that needed to be transposed.
(Burp)  Surely you are speaking of  (burp, hic) someone else.

[Hornlist] CD's with musical parts for compositions?

2004-09-15 Thread Joe Duke


Hello, all.

Within the last three or four weeks, there was a 'thread' which was fairly brief, 
concerning CD recordings of horn parts (for the whole section) which could be bought, 
and then, copied from, to provide those parts for a playing group.

Then, another comment was added, which I liked, very much!

A whole composition can be copied in the same manner from a set of CD's, if one is 
willing to buy the entire set!!

Now, I have looked back at the data I saved for those comments, but have not found 
them, so I presume that I have inadvertently deleted them from my files!!

May I ask someone who would be so kind, to please re-enter the link for those CD's??

My orchestra librarian wants to look into that set-up to see what we can find for our 
playing and performance library!!

I apologize for asking for a 're-run', but being the 'klutz' that I am, hitting the 
'delete' key sometimes is an ir-resistable 'fun' thing to do!!

No one else has ever done that, I am sure!!HA!!

Thanks!!Joe Duke

They had a contract to do five more albums!  I think they'd have been very
popular in the way the Candians went on to be. They'd even taken publicity
photos for Look Magazine--with Mr. T in the tree.

Yes. There are some floating around.  Bob Rusk found one for me at an
antique mall in Goshen, IN.  There were a number sent out to radio
stations.

The story, in part, is in the oral history we taped a while back.  We also
did a presentation on the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble at the ARSC
conference in Philly last year.  That's available on CD from ARSC (I
haven't purchased it yet).  I also interviewed Henry Charles Smith. 
At some point I'll get around to writing it in article form.

I'd just met Mr. T when I interviewed him or the interview would have been
a bit different than it is.  No hornists in this group of interviewees.

[Hornlist] Brass With Class(ics)

"Hunter." Frank Hunter.

Sean, I looked for YEARS to find one. Snagged mine at a record show in
SanFran back in '84. As far as I can tell, the LP was released more-or-less
"normally," but got pulled as soon as a few rolled off the presses. Though
now lost in a hard-drive crash, I e-mailed Abe Torchinksy and asked him
about it... not expecting an answer.

But then, a few days later, I received an e-mail from "Mr T" (pardon me)
explaining the situation. Abe was more descriptive, but the jist of it was
this: "There was NOT going to be any 'Philadelphia Brass Quintet" recordings
coming out without Ormandy's name on them, and therefore, also lining his
pockets." It got pulled.

In all fairness, I'd wager that Ormandy had a contract with Columbia records
that he THOUGHT was air-tight as far as royalties went, but that the PBQ did
an end run (intentionally, or not) around it by NOT calling themselves "The
Philadelphia Brass Quintet." I'd also wager that the LP's recall showed who
had the clout, PBQ or Ormandy.

Cool record too. When I was in the Travis AFB band, our brass quintet
managed to spend a BIG pile of your tax money on a Frank Hunter Beatle's
medley. Any hornlisters who are at Travis, or KNOW anyone who is, might want
to take a look at it. It was commisioned just for us and I think it would be
a hoot if I could get to see (or hear) it again. While I'm wagering, I'll
bet it hasn't been played since I was there. I left in '83.

All you need is love.

Amazing but true.  Did you know that Mozart
