[Hornlist] Chou sur la rue
Prof Cabbage will take his road show up the Peninsula to speak on the physics of brass instruments at Stanford's Center for Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA) at 1PM, Friday, Feb 27. Uninterested parties will also be able to miss talks he will be giving on Wednesday, March 25, at Cal State San Marcos, and Sunday, March 29 in San Jose. If anyone on the horn list is attending next week's convention of the American Choral Directors Association in Oklahoma City, they will be delighted to learn that the Prof has not been invited to speak, although he will attend to hear the National high school honors chorus will perform one of his compositions. Gotta go, Cabbage ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
[Hornlist] Studio Recording magick
Dear Hornlisters Regarding studio recordings and tweaking sounds, there are some amazing tools out there for manipulating tones and isolating individual notes from recorded multiphonics. Add to the mix some drag and drop plugins for your horns/strings/voice and you too can HACK together a movie score. http://www.celemony.com http://www.celemony.com/cms/index.php?id=demoaudiodemo soundbytes Regards, Carl Ek Oxtongue Lake, Canada ___ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
Re: [Hornlist] Schoenberg/Coleman/Philadelphia
Quoting Peter Hirsch: the Library of Congress has a mono tape of the March 11, 1995 concert, recorded in the Coolidge Auditorium, where the PWQ performed Reicha, op. 88. no. 2, The Francaix Divertissement for oboe, clarinet and bassoon and the Schoenberg Quintet, op. 26. I did a major double take when I saw this, mainly because I wondered who the players might have been. So I searched it in our catalog. It's actually the performance of March 11, 1955. No personnel is listed in the catalog record, which you can view by pointing your browsers to: http://lccn.loc.gov/96706771.

Re: [Hornlist] Schoenberg/Coleman/Philadelphia
Oh God, I've done it again. I know it was 1955, not 95. I should have copy/pasted the info from WorldCat (or done some proofreading). I also need to send out props to Steve O. for reminding me of his John Barrows CD, which I have in my collection and totally blanked out on (yet another senior moment on my part). As I said to Bob Dickow, some of my best memories are of things that never happened and this may prove the inverse (some of my fondest memories are things I have forgotten!?).

[Hornlist] The recent discussion of the U.S. Marine Band
Hello, fellow horn players. A few days ago I perused the archives of the horn list and read through the numerous messages regarding The President's Own United States Marine Band and the Marine Chamber Orchestra. As a member of the Band, I would like to correct some of the factual errors and answer some of the questions which arose. 1. The President's Own is not considered part of the regular Marine Corps. Officially it is a component of the Marine Corps Reserve but for paper pusher purposes only. Members of the Band are in fact members of the U.S. Marine Corps. We are not in the Marine Corps Reserve. 2. My understanding from talking to the few Devil Dogs that are in the President's Own is that you can keep the crossed rifles if you are a Staff Sergeant and above until you are promoted, then you revert to a music lyre. All members of the band (MOS 5511) wear the chevrons with lyres. 3. Regarding the Gigapan photo of the inauguration: There are horns on the near side next to the tubas, and there are horns on the opposite side next to the trombones. What sort of arrangement is that, and who plays what? I'm curious about the three people to the left (as viewed) of the horns, who have no instruments. Surely it doesn't take three to operate a fire extinguisher. I am the horn player next to the Marines in question. They are the two Assistant Directors of the band and two librarians. The Directors are there because, in all likelihood, they will one day lead the band at an inauguration. They must observe the event, as inaugurations are high profile and only occur every four years. It is true the horns were split into two sections on opposite sides of the band. Some other sections were divided as well. Over the years, Directors of the band concluded this was the best arrangement of the musicians given the limitations of the space. 4. Don't expect them to play Bartók, Stravinsky or any of the More Modern Classical Composers' music for you. The band plays a great deal of modern music, more than any ensemble with which I've worked. Anyone familiar with the repertoire for concert band might assume this. The Marine Chamber Orchestra does fewer public concerts, as they are usually tasked at the White House, but a quick skim of concert programs from the past couple years demonstrates performances of music by James Cohn, Miklos Rozsa, Ernest Bloch, Aulis Sallinen, John Beall, and Lukas Foss. Anyone may check the band website at www.marineband.usmc.mil to see concert programs. 5. They have a Pool of about 120 security-checked string, wind, percussion, harp, and keyboard players, so that they can accommodate any classical symphonic work. (I was told that they play a number of works for Baroque Orchestra, using Chamber String Players and Harpsichord.) For works requiring a much larger orchestra, they have an Extended Pool of security-checked musicians. The President’s Own” consists of about 120 wind, brass, percussion, string, and combo players and about 30 full-time support staff. This pool of musicians is necessary to accommodate the more than 800 performances that take place annually (500 public, 300 White House). We only perform works for which we have the personnel. 6. Whereas THEY have Admitted to being INcapable of playing Bartók-styled canons Composers who submit unsolicited compositions to the band have their music catalogued and added to the library. These pieces are considered by the three Directors of the band for future performances. There is nothing in the library database authored by Bear Woodson. In my opinion, we have played some extremely challenging modern music in my five years in the band. We have commissioned works from such noted composers as Melinda Wagner, David Chaitkin, and David Rakowski. The band tours extensively in the Fall and the band, the Marine Chamber Orchestra, and Marine Chamber Ensembles perform regular free public concerts in the Capital area throughout the year. Marine Band recordings are found in schools and music libraries nationwide and some selections are available for free download on our website. The band is full of highly professional and dedicated Marine musicians. The other military bands in town are excellent as well. Please check us out if you have the opportunity.

[Hornlist] Re: Simple Duets
There is a set of ten Christmas carols arranged for two horns by Lorraine Sharp. You can see the catalog record for them at: http://lccn.loc.gov/2008563362 She has also arranged the same carols for trumpet and horn. See: http://lccn.loc.gov/2008563363 The horn version is quite simple. Even I could play them passably, at least on a good day. So a student who can manage Pottag-Hovey book 2 or certainly Horner's Primary studies would have no trouble with them. BTW, I did not catalog these. A colleague showed them to me. HTH.
