RE: [Hornlist] dictionaries
Believe it or not, in my GS group, we have had several soloists who had a hard time going just slow enough not to make mincemeat of the words, despite the music directors insistence on sowing down. It seems that people unconsciously have the need to use such pieces to show off what they can do. [or can't] Dave J.

Ah! Oh, don't the days seem lank and long
When all goes right and nothing goes wrong,
And isn't your life extremely flat
With nothing whatever to grumble at!

RE: [Hornlist] dictionaries
Thanks, Dr.Green, music is not just two-dimensional (speeking of speed !), - isn´t velocity the better word ? - but three dimensional, as you expressed by using mood, something forgotten by our rush folks. So the allegro character is not only achieved by the number of beats per minute, but also by a certain expression of the single notes mini-groups. Also neglected so often. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Greene Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 4:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] dictionaries On 5 Apr 2004, John Schreckengost asked, Does the term hauteur reelle which appears the third measure of 87 in Baba-Yaga mean bells up?
