I can not believe what is being played by the so called wind ensemble
today... I am having some trouble adjusting to playing clarinet in this
"ensemble" The music for the "ensemble" is in IMHO of poor quality... ie in
this band we are playing a work be someone called Maslanko (or something that
sounds like that anyway) The title of this is called "Tears" it comes with a
five page Essay from the "composer" to explain to the band what the music is all
about....? Am I the only guy who thinks this is bad 20th century music? I like
the work of Ned Roram and Coligiliano ect. but this? ugh. I know that there is
better things for a band to play then this. I may have to can't this in private
as I don't know who from my Uni is out there...
