Hi Walter:-

So how did it go?

This a concert band or orchestra arrangement??

If a concert band, could you advise details please.

Regard's
Peter Randell . Toronto >>

Peter, the "Creation" is an ensemble piece with strings, woodwinds, brass.
percussion, and piano. I believe we used one bass, and pairs of strings, 2
flutes, one oboe, alto sax, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 trumpets, trombone, piano.
Like 18, 19 instrumentalists.

Great fun!

Ralph Black, owner of the Evanston Band and Orchestra Company played the sax,
and did a great job!
