composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:35 PM) : yes PoulenC!
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:34 PM) : It may also be just some easy pieces by Ibert for piano and winds
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:34 PM) : poulennccccc
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:34 PM) : Depends the number of rehearsal the wind players can commit
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:34 PM) : or a Piano Quintet of Mozart's
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:34 PM) : The rep has not been decided but possibilities are one movement from a Poulence Piano Sextet - Piano+Wind Quintet
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:33 PM) : cool! what are you playing?
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:32 PM) : actually i'm seriously considering going to school either on the East Coast or in NYC or the new england area
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:32 PM) : I will be performing one of the lunchtime concerts for an outdoor music series this June. Well I will cross my fingers all goes to plan ... just playing piano with winds for some chamber music
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:31 PM) : Man I wish you and your family could come visit NYC in June
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:31 PM) : But yours sounds more challenging
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:30 PM) : Yup .. well that was one of the goals of the class I had taken at Juilliard.
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:30 PM) : for purposes of playability and projection. it's interesting to handle circumstances in the fabric of the composition itself
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:29 PM) : it arose from a commission from a technically limited youth ensemble, for a concert to be played outdoors - so the technical difficulties are limited and the music is largely chordal
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:29 PM) : start
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:29 PM) : You are off to an excellent spot
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:28 PM) : And the lines, without being overly complicated, are nice and melodic
composerorga... (16 May 2012 - 07:28 PM) : Yeah I can believe it because you keep the horn in its tenor range a good amount of time and that is really its ideal spot.
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:27 PM) : very broad and expressive in a way that I've never really touched on before - the hornist in the first reading compared it to playing Mahler, which was interesting
Voce (16 May 2012 - 07:27 PM) : the piece itself is a transformation of the primary motive of Stravinsky's Symphony in C (given mostly to the bassi and celli) into a broad, congregational-hymn-like thing
