Translation: "A Small Night Music"

This classic (pun intended) piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is currently my best recording to date. This was the piece that a clarinet choir in my high school band played one year at solo & ensemble (I was the bass clarinet).

I loved the piece so much that I got a copy of the adaptation from my band director and I started practicing the various parts. The result of alllll that work is what you hear here.

I made this recording about a year ago, and it's the sum of two grueling days of nearly endless recording sessions. I had to record myself eight separate times: six soprano clarinet lines and two bass clarinet lines. It was hell. And even then, I had to re-record small pieces and patch them over little mistakes in the final recordings of each separate line.

But all that hell (which ended in me having a MAJORLY chapped lower lip) was WORTH IT!! 8D This is so far the best recording I've made of myself, and everything you hear here is all me. All the final sound editing I did myself. And I can say that I am very proud of my hard work to create this one-dragon clarinet choir piece. :)

My next attempt? I'm thinking either John Philip Sousa's "The Liberty Bell" or Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" or "The Entertainer" or perhaps Pierre LaPlante's "A Little French Suite".
