Another movement from my orchestra concert, following on from my last post.
Witold Lutosławski was a prominent 20th century Polish composer; he wrote his Little Suite for Symphony Orchestra in 1951. This is the second movement from that piece, which translates to (as best as I can tell) "Hurray Polka." It's definitely intense. There is an interesting musical technique that the composer uses here - starting at about 0:25 (and again at 1:05), there is a motif that is played three times, but one note gets longer each time it's played. Side note, I think this is the only orchestral piece I've seen that has flutter tongue for the brass - it's a rough sound that normally doesn't match, but it seems to work here. Also, that ending is really nerve-wracking - it's difficult to follow, and a single person coming in early can ruin it (and did many times in rehearsal), but it worked on the gig, which is where it counts.

*Wiggles back* I ordered 50 disposable n95 (hopefully) masks yesterday and was told they're still in stock but going fast. The media says we should be wearing them but no one says where they're available. The purchasing agent at the company I drive for ordered a thousand of them from his supplier and won't get delivery until mid May.
"Make them at home, and here's how" the media says. From what they show, I would get the same effectiveness by pulling a pair of jockey shorts over my head. A simple dust mask and bandana would be about the same and can still be bought. LOL

we went to a specialty pharmacy Saturday and bought masks - and they were charging through the roof. Then Gloria made us some masks. The one I keep in my pocket for work is quite comfortable. In truth, I think the masks are solely meant as cough shields. Rubber gloves I have from work so we're ok there.
