Re: Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche--Clarinet Choir

I was fortunate enough to be invited to play Till Eulenspiegel's in college orchestra decades ago, As a freshman, I wouldn't have normally been qualified to be in the orchestra, but they evidently couldn't find anyone else willing to play the bass clarinet part, and they invited me to play - so I got a super-easy credit for playing the singular piece - plus, that semester I toured around the state with the orchestra. It was a real kick! Valerie Taylor (now with the Lowell Philharmonic Orchestra) was our conductor at the time. I've always had a soft spot for Till Eulenspiegel since then.

The performance you shared is pretty cool. I enjoyed how some of the parts sound almost "horn-like" at times. A very ambitious idea to perform with a clarinet choir!
