I have had a few people asking me to post some more music links – OK, maybe one or two people 
but it is nice that they have been missing my contributions. I have been considering doing so – although certainly not returning to the everyday posts – but waiting for something suitable (and worthwhile) to trigger me to start doing it. Today I found something.
Orchestral
A Fitting Finale
Well one year and around 400 pieces of music later this was the last of my regular shares of “my music” on Facebook….
A Hero’s Life
Back to lots of horns tonight for this week’s big work. Although this video is over an hour long, the Strauss only lasts about 45 minutes.
Music For Easter Saturday
A slightly belated share for Easter Saturday
An Odd Choice?
No horns or percussion in sight with this choice! This is, most certainly, a piece of music by a composer that I would not have expected to feature in my selection.
Completing the “Elgar Set”
Tonight’s big work is Elgar’s 1st Symphony.
What a Birthday Present
Another belated post tonight – so music suitable for this time of the night – will hopefully soothe you to sleep.
Right First Time
As horn solos go – they don’t come much more immediate and exposed than this…
A Prodigious Feat of Memory
Many year ago the Bournemouth Youth Orchestra went to the International Festival of Youth Orchestras that was held in conjunction with the Edinburgh Festival. Its a long trip trip which was broken in both directions by concerts with the Clevedon Youth Orchestra in which the second half of the concert was a massed performance of Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique.
A Wagner Appetiser
A small taster of Wagner – not the whole Ring Cycle – just the prelude to Das Rheingold – the first of the four operas.
