Tonight I’m playing in a senior composition recital. Shumpei Ishige has composed a symphonic suite following the story of The Little Mermaid. The work is titled “Den Lille Havfue.” Its a great composition, and I’m really happy to be playing in it.
Monday night is the Webster University Wind Ensemble concert. The Wind Ensemble is a modular group, which will either play as a whole or in its four components: saxophone, brass, woodwinds, and percussion. Monday will be a concert in the four sections. The percussion ensemble is presenting pieces mainly dealing with hand percussion: bata, tambourine, and clapping (as opposed to our last concert where we needed a large array of percussion instruments).
My elbows are also almost repaired from playing timpani in Dvorak’s Ninth Symphony (“From the New World”).
