Who else has played this?
I came across this live performance of me playing it with the KU band (roughly a thousand years ago...)

Dionysiaques - The University of Kansas Symphonic Band

@Cameron Gates

yeah...It's not a great piece, but an odd one...and with 4 each: flugals/trumpets/cornets...etc.

I'm not sure how many band directors had "re"-discovered it - by the late 1970's.

I wish we could have tightened up some of those rhythms a bit better, but whatever...a bunch of 18 - 21-year-old children...
