Water, Water, Everywhere!

, , , , , , , ,

I filled in with the Salem Community Orchestra last Saturday night playing bass clarinet and 2nd clarinet. It was the first symphony gig I'd had in quite a few years. The theme of the concert was "Water, Water, Everywhere!" which is a little ironic as we are still in a major drought. LOL

The Program:

The Moldau, No. 2 from "My Country".........Bedrich Smetana

The Enchanted Lake, Opus 62.................Anatole Liadow

Wohin? (Whither?)...........................Franz Schubert

Am Meer (By the Sea)........................Franz Schubert

La Mer (The Sea) Ballade....................Alexander Borodin

The Fountains of Rome, Symphonic Poem.......Ottorino Respighi

***INTERMISSION***

The Sea, Suite for Orchestra................Frank Bridge

Water Music.................................George Friedric Handel

On The Beautiful Danube.....................Johann Strauss, Jr.

The concert went better than I was expecting....hopefully they will ask me back again in the future. :up:

I enjoyed that post. Wish I'd been there.

What? No 'Sea Symphony'?

Possibly a good thing I wasn't there. I'd have been needing the... erm- facilities every few minutes! :D

Franz Schubert? I guess he is from Germany, right?

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was actually Austrian....born and died in Vienna. He was a very prolific composer. :smile: Wikipedia has a fairly good biography of his life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Schubert

Is this Brian's blog entry?

I'd say there's a pretty good chance that it is.
