Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Well, considering Stalling's and Franklyn's love for quoting pre-existing pieces as part of the joke of the golden age of Warner cartoons, I highly doubt it's an original piece. I feel like it was a perfect opportunity for a quote, like Strauss' Die Fliedermaus, but doesn't seem to be the case so far. Maybe I should start a new thread about musical quotes in classic cartoons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karelm 2,903 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Any other fans of Chris Rouse here? I just heard the west coast premiere of his Organ Concerto and thought it was excellent with a superb performance by LA Phil and Paul Jacobs on the formidable Disney Hall organ. His music tends to be freaking loud but as a bass trombonist, I don't mind that. There was a very long standing ovation and an unbelievably fantastic JS Bach organ fugue as encore. Unfortunately, no link exists to the organ concerto but take this excellent trombone concerto as a reference. This resulted in Rouse winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1993.

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Jacobs is an acquaintance of mine and a damn fine player, one of the top tier. I always enjoy seeing his artful playing appreciated, as there some less tasteful organist "sensations" out there that I feel music could do without....

karelm 2,903 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Some commonalities and differences with The Planets as this was written in 1917 while Planets was 1914-6. Almost like this was a sequel/response to The Planets. There are many moments that sound straight out of Venus, Saturn, and Neptune. I also believe elements of the semi-chorus around 7:55 were homages by his life long friend, Ralph Vaughan Williams, in his Pilgrims Progress amongst other works (those planing choral chords at 6:07 are very RVW ergo JW though JW approaches it more from a jazz voice leading style though he is heavily influenced by the brits here.

Trying to identify where these two pieces of music below could come from. Note that I'm not 100% sure these are actually from classical works: to me, it simply sounds like it could be the case, and thought I'd ask if they sound familiar to anyone here or not (note that it is also possible both samples come from the same classical work). Any help will be appreciated! Sample A: Sample B: I would guess this is a student work played by a student/amateur orchestra and not a classical work performed by students or amateur ensemble. Here is what an average quality community orchestra sounds like by comparison: Very good community orchestras are quite good but there is a wide range of quality (very good community orchestras have high budgets to rent expensive venues and fill them out so there is competition for positions hence tough auditions) but the clips you posted sound low budget and demonstrate rudimentary composition and orchestration skills. A trombone being present makes it sound more recent than the quality of the music hence it sounds like a new work by a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Today for my music history final we had to listen to samples and name the style of the composition (multiple choice). There was one in particular I really liked. The only two plausible options were "a Beethoven symphony" or "a Wagner opera." The bit we heard basically had rapid repeated string figures with a bold horn (at least I think it was horns) melody over top. It was very "epic," if you know what I mean. Does anyone have any clue what Beethoven or Wagner work this might be from? Obviously this description is incredibly vague, but I do imagine, if this helps, that the piece is fairly famous, since the rest of our listening samples (the ones I actually could identify precisely) were all famous works. And I am not particularly familiar with either composer, so it is perfectly plausible that it's a very famous work even though I couldn't identify it. Just so you know, it was not this: I remember the melody over top having much more notes -- here it's just one sustained note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
