For Cran and for Dorsen



For cran and for dorsen


The MTT piece "Street Song" for Symphonic Brass was magnificant.
The golden glow of the instruments produced a golden tone
that was, at the same time, smooth, liquid, edgy, and sonorous.
The lithe horizontals capered over the lush verticals in a way
that lifted me into an ethereal plane of existence.
While the masterful treatment of the harmonic distribution
was matched only by the genius of the intervallic modulation.
Hats off, gentlemen.
I almost wish I coulda' been there.

Could have used more cowbell, though.
