I realised that as I was going through this week I have been (subconsciously so far) picking different types of musical group that I have been a part of at some time – Concert Band, Orchestra, Brass Ensemble…. So I decided that I should continue that for the rest of the week.
Classical
Back To School
I did, of course, start early with my musical education but my introduction to orchestral music really came when I moved to grammar school. The music teacher was aware that I already played a brass instrument, so when we first met his immediate question was “would you like to play the French Horn?” – things just went from there 😀
Easter Day
There is, perhaps, no music more associated with Easter than the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. That said, it is not my choice for today. Instead I give you the finale of the oratorio – the chorus “Worthy is the Lamb” and the tremendous closing Amen.
A Man And His Music
Doing my daily “silent desert island discs” challenge on Facebook got me thinking that it would be better with sound. There are lots of folks who share great music already and I’ve noticed some have even started doing their own lists – Music and Creative Arts are sharing their “Self Isolation Discs”. I have no intention of nominating others for this – but if you like the idea then please join in – and I know that my selection will not be to everyone’s taste – but it would be good to get some feed back. Hopefully somewhere along the line I will introduce you to something you like!
