Yes Mary Cahmbers. A very good Northern lad, as Sean Rafferty said on In Tune this evening. He has a bright future. Very level headed young chap. On the brass band messageboard I go on( www.themouthpiece.com), there were these mbs who said his nickname was "Pixie"! I doubt wether people will call him that now! ( slang) A notably common Freudian slip committed by those writing to the Weather Thread. |

Since this piece is Alla breve, does the member feel that THIS is a better tempo, or should he prefer it to move even a little brisker? But our own idea of this fugue is quite a bit slower again - we wish to savour all Bach's verticalities to the full! and although frightfully crackpot we know we apprehend therefrom no sense of funereality. Give it a listen! ( Rapidshare or Sendspace.) ( n.) The amusement enjoyed by those who create electronic versions of Bach fugues and then regard them as genuine performances. |

...The technical advances of brass musical instruments have been as such that players advancements can be made a a faster rate than before.
advancements ( n. pl.) The suggestive inducements made by brass players to members of the opposite sex which can be seen to increase in pace exponentially as so-called 'improvements' are made to their instruments. |

Last time a bras player won this event was in 1979....
bras player - n. a trumpeter, trombonist or tuba player who specialises in fiddly bits, especially the "Infernal Dance of King Catch-Eye" from Stravinski's Firebird, and anything by Catchaturian or Philip Clasp. Bras players are often 3rd players in a section, extras brought in to support the two tits already there. Usage: Note that the term bras player may never be used in relation to 'horn's (French or otherwise) - see Wagner Tuba. Tommo |

cf the scoring of Poulenc's LES MAMELLES DE TIRESIAS, in which the aforementioned bras players have the instruction "detaché" |

a hose pipe band. The modern suburban version of the old Jagdhornkapellen.  Oliver, you have stolen my idea - though going back to the original thread I see that my posting of that picture has turned into a small red cross. |

From a Babelfish translation of: http://www.taschenoper.at/neu/t05_stockhausen.phpWho saw once the version of „ Kathinkas singing “ for flute and six Schlagzeuger, in view of the percussion instruments even invented, which carry a breath of scrap iron place into the concert hall, of Kurt Schwitters Merzkunst to feel reminded, from waste the art produced. breath of scrap iron: an unfortunate strain of halitosis, but preferable to breath of wrought iron. |
