Quantz Concerto in G Major for Flute and Strings: Presto

I hope you enjoy this performance by The Hanover Band with Director Roy Goodman and Rachel Brown, traverso (note: pitch is lower than modern flute).

Excellent tempo, phrasing direction, feeling of meter, and ornaments.

May it serve as a last minute inspiration to North Carolina High School students to hear this performance before District Band auditions!

Documentary piece on Clara Rockmore - Theremin virtuoso

Greetings,

In her own words, a brief history of Clara Rockmore's life with the Theremin. Also discussion with electronic music experts Robert Moog and Thomas Ray.

This is a wonderful tale of "crisis equals opportunity" When she ceased playing the violin because of advancing arthritis, Clara finds the perfect outlet for her artistry.

Fascinating!

Clara Rockmore - "Hebrew Melody"

A dream come true (almost)! I always wanted to hear Clara in person. Oh, the many virtues and possibilities of YouTube.

Enjoy, or shed a tear...
