Tomorrow's post will be on auto-pilot, unless something spectacular happens and I need to cut in. The middle piece of the second half is the Flying Theme from "E.T." A nice (and needed) respite for the brass. This particular part of the soundtrack was never available as an individual piece until just a few years ago, when our conductor was contracted by John Williams' people to write it. He must have liked it, because he's conducting it in the video here with the Boston Pops. But our orchestra played the world premiere! Well, the premiere of just this section. But, still....
Now that I'm neck deep in rehearsals and set up, I'm not going to be around until Sunday. Everybody behave and play nicely! And go to Dana's site and wish her a Happy Birthday!
