Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Every Williams fan knows this one has been premiered a long time ago.Quoting Peio quoting myself:It's been premiered for 20 years now. Quoting Miguel Andrade:"Celebration Fanfare was comissioned by Houston Symphony's Composer in Residence Tobias Picker for the orchestra's Fanfare Project.For the 1986/87 season, every concert was opened with the premiere of one of the 21 comissioned fanfares, by composers like Elliot Carter, John Adams, Steve Reich, John Harbinson, Christopher Rouse and Marius Constant.The Williams fanfare was premiered on September 6, 1986, with the orchestra conducted by conductor Sergiu Comissiona."

Saxbabe 28 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 God. You guys are hilarious! And KM, for the record, I don't love you anymore...So. I didn't get a chance to go either, was hoping I would but didn't happen.But KUHF Houston Public Radio has been broadcasting every Houston Symphony concert this year, so I'm waiting for them to post when the broadcast is. I am estimating end of May/early June (the broadcasts are Wed. nights.)You can listen online but someone needs to record the high-quality FM or hopefully digital broadcast - I am a bit too far away from H-town to do it. (Hello mattmane lol!)You can keep an eye on their broadcast schedule here:http://app1.kuhf.org/houston_public_radio-...s_id=1220021043~Greta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I just couldn't put Greta to the exact screename , I had a slight memory lapseSorry!!hopefully this will be broadcast online.Mattmane if you can record it now do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
