I recommend Procession of the Nobles. My horn choir is playing it for solo and ensemble. Every part is featured and the parts encompass 2-3 different playing levels. It would work well for 5 players only or for a choir. The trumpet solos are being played as a solo - giving rest to those who nee

Jeremy, For the record, neither concert transmission was "live". I think the actual performance was streamed on the net at 4AM EST yesterday. Now, I'm sure you are right about the logistics of plugging in a few notes without the benefit of a second take or performance, but at least there was half-

Just using a regular double plus using special horns for special tasks, not just one instrument for everything, that´s the best. I do not blame the multi-sport-models by Schmid (their finish is nearly unbeatable, but I do not like their sound much). I did not blame nobody. Things happen. But the mo

Thank you Bill, that was very informative. Your mention of the saxhorn reminds me of a story related in the autobiography of the clarinettist Jack Brymer, concerning Richard Strauss' last ever concert in London. He was conducting Sinfonia Domestica, which requires huge forces, including 4 saxophon

That’s definitely interesting. If they ran a version which had no blipped horn run, then they had to have run a previous recording. Thanks to the laws of physics, there's really no way to splice such a section in from a previous or different concert without half or more of the listening public to
