A fun, rollicking romp with musical references to the music played for silent movies. An homage to the spooky music composed by Danny Elfman, John Williams, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith and others as well as the sound of the piano performances that would accompany silent movies. A piece I originally composed for piano and keyboard ensemble (to imitate a full orchestra and pipe organ). The piece was premiered at Millikin University at my Senior Piano Recital in 1990.
While it IS nice to be the one person on the program with no 2nd date behind my name, as that 1ST date gets farther and farther into the past, even concert posters are becoming existential!
But anyway, here's the concert flyer for the concert with my upcoming fanfare premiere!
For today's #MusicMonday #MondayMotivation @arthurbreur offers you the rousing "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg. (Included in the upcoming December 5 concert by @TualatinSymph):
