Program Notes by James R. C. Adams

When shaken, it kinda sounds like a bull let loose in a windchime shop. This concert is about ringing bells, but every time we tried working bells into the title it came out sounding really lame.

So, noticing that Mr. Bach have the same first name — and that we have bells that jingle…. When he returned from his studies in Italy, he helped support himself by teaching Italian in Vienna. The success of his music is sometimes ascribed to his Italian gift for melody. He spoke German with an Italian accent throughout his life, and he is supposed to have admitted to having a poor understanding of some of the German libretti with which he worked.

The overture to Light Cavalry was for a two-act operetta. It opens with a bugle call and fanfare which serve as the basis for variations and lyrical writing in the style of Donizetti, whom he greatly admired, and to whom he was distantly related. At about the two-and-a-half minute mark, we hear the famous imitation of horses cantering, and then we come upon an interlude of decidedly Magyar flavor. The operetta has a section where the cavalry marches across Hungarian fields.

I'm guessing that works likely to be remembered well by members of this audience are those they heard in their late teens. April in Paris is best known in the recording by Count Basie, though it has been reissued by others. Pennsylvania is associated primarily with Glenn Miller. Serenade in Blue was written by Harry Warden in , and first performed in a film, Orchestra Wives , but it, too, is most closely associated with the Glenn Miller Band. Bach" is the pseudonym of Dr.

Peter Schickele born , a serious composer of symphonic, chamber, and choral works. He was educated at Swathmore and the Juilliard School of Music. He has composed music for the stage as well as for films Siilent Running. However, his work as Dr. Schickele has been overshadowed by that of his alter ego, P.

Bach, "the youngest and the oddest of the twenty-odd children of Johann Sebastian Bach. Bach is the "Weird Al" Yankovic of classical music. Schickele claims to have discovered this unknown son and many of his "lost" works. While most of them are in the Baroque vein, there are a number of them that are clearly before their time, such as the dramatic oratorio Oedipus Tex featuring the O.

Mozart's charming piece is a serenade in symphonic or sonata form. That is, although it is short, it is structured just as a symphony would be. In fact, the first movement is frequently used in music classes to illustrate the sonata form, as I have described in the notes about Mozart's Symphony No. The music here is Mozart's, but the arias are by "P. Salieri was a rival of Mozart, and rumored to have caused his death unlikely. Works the same as of which there aren't any more REAL ones being made, either It has a 4th valve with an extra set of tubing that connects to the "echo" tube that allows a player to quickly switch back and forth from a muted sound to an unmuted sound.

I saw a Henry Distin version of one of these that was engraved everywhere and was one of the most beautiful instruments I have seen.

I have seen ads for echo bell alto horns, but have never actually seen one in person. But for an occasional real antique one being restored, the only "new" ones are the East Indian ones that, well, with all due respect, just simply don't play. A silver Yamaha F with a custom bell that goes into the 4th valve, which cuts off low range to about an A. I think Jim Self has a double-belled tuba!

Bob"I wanna be a cimbasso specialist" Check out his website. It was so out of tune, the harmonic series was way out of wack. The horn was interesting though because it had a fairly large second bell. Much larger than most. It was a US navy horn. It had US navy Quartermaster Corps engraded on the bell.
