Well THAT was fun!
The Ecstatic Waters performance yesterday here at UT went really well. I’m still a bit stunned by it. We had one problem with feedback in the Bassoon mics (same thing that happened at Bowling Green – in the same place I think), which is weird in that it never happened in any rehearsals, but has now happened in both performances. Something to figure out for the future. Other than that, though, the band really stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park (to use a seasonally appropriate sports metaphor).
And now I’m kind of bummed – I’ve gotten spoiled hearing this piece several times a week for the past few weeks, including two performances, and now I don’t get to hear it again until next February and March.
More details later and, if it’s possible, a recording, perusal score, program notes, the whole nine yards. I do have another piece due in one month, so I can’t really let up just yet…
