Ginastera's Estancia
Yes, I've been missing in action...been too busy knitting and working to blog. Besides, I was being nice to LL by not Catblogging. ;-)
In the meantime, enjoy one of my favorite pieces of classical music. The first time I heard it I was on my feet the second it ended yelling and applauding madly as was the rest of the Detroit symphony crowd. I turned to the YS and said, "That was fucking brilliant."

Nice to see you "back"! :-)
You're so considerate...
I like the catblogging.
I've never heard of that piece. It looks like a fun piece to play.
ETW - Yeah, thanks I've been a complete slacker.
LL - Yes, I am. But don't expect it to last forever. ;-)
FWG - Another vote for catblogging...pretty sure LL is losing this one.
ZS - Hey there!!! I hadn't either until that night. Maybe I'll find another version on youtube to broaden more horizons.
Missed you. A2 loved spending time with you this week. Still envious!
Cheered the Wings tonight, Hope they win again on my birthday!
XO
PS Am very pro cat blogging.
Jenn says the conductor looks like Pauly Shore...
I liked the energy in that piece. Although I generally have trouble with any piece of music that uses more than three chords. ;)
Wow, everyone is having so much fun. I enjoyed watching the conductor.
It goes without saying that I vote for the catblogging to return immediately!
Suzy - Hope you had fun with Meg. I hope I get to see A2 in a few weeks. I'm taking him out for sushi. Catblogging shall return.
Dr. - I can see the Pauly Shore comparison, but I thought he was less annoying than Pauly. ;-)
Fermi - If the Atlanta Symphony ever plays it, I highly recommend seeing it in person! It is bloody brilliant in person!
Wherefore art thou, Kat? Am I going to have to join Facebook to keep up with you? ;-)
GO PENS!!!
Sorry babe... gotta do it.
YAY PENS!!!
You know what is so brilliant about this? I will tell you. I played clarinet in grade school and jr h/s and the most terrifying experience was when we had to go to concert. It was horrible. I think the Pauly Shore look a like has something with the way he has chosen to conduct this group. Really, what a great way to not worry about screwing up musically, LOL. I loved it.
PS
Doc didn't tell me it was your blog! I thought you were still on your hyatious.
Fermi - Wouldn't do you any good as I'm not spending time there either. ;-)
LL - Honestly? You were rooting for that pansy-ass? That's pathetic. He can't even fight unless his teammate is holding the opposing player. I wouldn't have pegged you as a fan of someone who fights like a girl.
Red - I'm highly jealous you got to learn an instrument. While we had band in high school, I was taking too many college-prep courses and working...band was definitely not encouraged by the former father.
I didn't make the cut for the High School band (and glad I didn't because I was busy with softball) but I did do it in grade school for three years and Jr HS for 3 years.
and um... WB? Did you move this post?
