La Musique

Saturday, April 5, 2008

Achingly pure notes of the flute, primitive raw tones from the violin, I seem to be doing the brass instruments a severe injustice. Brass instruments are good yes, wonderful for the occasional chord when Haydn realises the audience needs a teensy wake-up call, for the building up of tension, thickening of the very air as the surroundings vibrate with the intensity of expression. Slow booms, low bursts of sound, wha-wha mutes? Bring them on. Disney and romantic composers do think alike after all.

It makes quitting band so painful. eeew-phooo-nieem.
