I am asking for help from the more experienced contributors to this BBS.
My community orchestra has just release the concert schedule for the year. I don�t have all that much experience with these pieces so I am seeking some guidance as to what to expect. Do all these pieces have a tuba part, if so, at what level of playing ability will be required? I am only a humble recreational playing with very modest abilities so I�d like to know ahead of time what to expect.
Here�s the concert list for the year:
Rossini � William Tell Overture
Saint Saens � Cello Concerto #1
Dvorak � Symphony #7
Sibelius � Karelia Suite
Mozart � Symphonie Concertante for winds & orchestra
Bizet � L �Arlesienne Suite #2
Respighi � Ancient Airs and Dances: Bergamasque from Suite #2
Milton Barnes � Ceremonial Overture
Lalo � Symphonie Espagnole
Brahms � Serenade in D
Holst � The Planets: Jupiter and Mars
Stravinsky � Firebird: Berceuse & Finale
Your comments are appreciated.
