The University of Chicago Symphony Orchestra, of which I am the timpanist of, just finished their winter quarter. My newest project is to start taking my minidisc's of each performance and put them online for anyone to listen to. You can listen to the latest concert entitled "1900, Backward and Forward." On this concert was...
- Rimsky-Korsakov: "Cortege" from Mlada
- Prokofiev: Autumnal Sketch, Op. 8
- Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 1 in D-Flat Major, Op. 10
- Dvorak: Symphony No. 7 in D Minor, Op. 70
Even if you're not a percussionist you still might notice that the last 2 minutes of the Prokofiev Piano Concerto has an amazingly cool (and difficult) glockenspiel passage which encompasses the entire range (and a bit more) of the instrument using scalar passages. Jamie Mezinah, our in-house mallet expert, did a wonderful job of covering the part excerpt.
