• Robert Sanders, Quintet in B♭ major for brass instruments
[MP3]
This is a goofy recording. It was made one evening near the
end of the summer in Beta Gamma just for fun. As I remember,
we were all tired and could hardly play anymore because our
lips were hanging somewhere down around our knees.
I can't remember if we had actually rehearsed the
piece or if we were just playing it from sight for the heck
of it. I can't even remember who's idea it was. I think I
was playing 1st trumpet, I think Roland Dube was 2nd
trumpet, or the other way around.
[edit: after thinking about it for a while, I can't remember
rehearsing this piece at all but think I remember that this
was the chamber piece for one half-summer for five of the
brass players. When they wanted to record it one evening but
were missing the 2nd trumpet (for whatever reason), I jumped
in played the 2nd part, probably from sight. – Tim]
I can visualize the others but can't recall all of their
names. I'm pretty sure Roland Dube was on first trumpet and
David Rothschild on trombone. I think it was David who added
the f-word explicative.
