Mendelssohn - Midsummer Night's Dream Overture
Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2022 4:47 pm
I tried to upload this to soundcloud ...after setting up an account (probably the better part of a year ago...??), thought I had failed, came back later, and discovered that it worked.
There are no trombones in this, and the tuba is assigned the original ophicleide/serpent/whatever part.
Unlike every other time I've ever played this, I (always wishing that I could) was actually ASKED to sit with the horns.
This seating arrangement defined this as remarkably easy, as I was just to my right of the two horns, just underneath the trumpets, and right behind the bassoons and clarinets.
I apologize if I posted this before (and forgot).
I would have probably preferred to have played it on euphonium, but - as I was working with people with whom I only work with a few times each year - I didn't wish to draw undue attention to myself. (I used my 40-year-old/bought-new-by-me F tuba.)
