And equally the introduction to the Red Dwarf TV series is the introduction to Mahler 5. I wonder if Gustav ever envisaged that?

Re: [Hornlist] Delightfully BRASSY!
I know little about the current capabilities of synthesizers, but I would not be at all surprised if software can help. I am familiar with one system that I've been tempted to buy which is certainly used by a number of composers for movies scores, among others, who use it for initial "run through's" for the director. Here is one such package I've been tempted to buy but haven't for a number of reasons: http://www.garritan.com/ There are some amazing (to me!) sample performances on this site. Who knows? I may breakdown and buy a copy. It is compatible with the notation program I use to facilitate my horn practice. Regards... Tom -- Thomas M. Spillman, Jr. Asst.

Personally, I think it's a shame and anyone who plays for the benefit of being sampled should have their IHS membership revoked... ;-) However, high-quality synthesizers are in fact a very useful tool for composers and arrangers.

Re: [Hornlist] Delightfully BRASSY!
I actually just recorded a brass quintet doing this recently and their album is coming out in the very near future. The album is called: Quintessential Brass Repertoire and it includes this fanfare (with timpani) as well as an arrangement of Brandenburg 2, the posthorn solo from Mahler 3 and several other "classics" arranged for brass quintet (some with timpani, most without). We haven't worked out the distribution channels yet, but the CD will be available from either the arranger's website (www.trumpettunes.com) or mine as well. The purpose of this disc is more to showcase the arrangements than the performance. For what it's worth, the album was recorded in high-resolution DSD and only bounced down to PCM at the final premastering phase. (Of course, if anyone wants to "geek-out" about the gear used, etc., you may feel free to contact me off-list as well.) Sorry if it sounds like blatant advertisingthey are good brass quintet arrangements though and the arranger (with whom I have no financial ties) sells his arrangements at a very affordable rate. I don't make any money if he sells the arrangements...I swear!
