Dear Hornlisters,
If you are in the SW VIrginia/NW Tennessee area on Sunday May 10, you might
be interested in the concert that Symphony of the Mountains is giving at 3

Knoxville composer William Mark Harrell’s Suite from The

Back in the 1970's (or at least in 1977, a year I was doing a lot of subbing
for them), the Lake George Opera would pay part of its salaries in stacks of
silver dollars. The idea was that company members would use these to pay for
local purchases in the surrounding area (Lake George Village,

The best discussion of this topic remains Douglas Hofstadter's "Goedel,
Escher, Bach," although I will say that Hofstadter's discussion of the
relationship between Goedel and Escher, or Escher and Bach, seems more
convincing than
his discussion of the relationship between Goedel and Bach.
I've always heard the term "synaesthesia" used in connection with the
tendency some people have to hear specific pitches as specific colors (e.g. F

In my Concerto for Horn and Concert Band, I decided to turn the band horn
player's bete noire into a musical joke, and so there are several places where
the principal alto sax is featured as a foil to the solo horn. Oddly enough,

On the topic
David,

standard band scoring as you just summarized it. In performances balances

The poem is in fact the text of the music that the horn is declaiming (i.e.
the horn's music is a setting of the poem--syllable for syllable, word for
