Year in review
My jury is played, final assignment turned in, and I’m back at my parents’ house in Toronto learning to drive and practicing the rep that I’ll be playing for the rest of the summer. So, here’s a partial (I’ve probably forgotten things…) list of repertoire I played this school year. In no particular order, and with a varied assortment of ensembles:
- Berlioz: Corsair Overture (1st)
- Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto #1 (2nd)
- Scheherazade (1st) -Beethoven 3 (2nd)
- Stravinsky: Symphonies D’Instruments a Vents (2nd)
- Stravinsky: Mass (1st)
- Nielsen: Wind Quintet
- Debussy: Nocturnes (2nd)
- Petrushka (1st)
- Tchaik 5, only the 3rd and 4th movements (1st)
- Gounod: Petite Symphonie (1st)
- D’Indy: Symphony on a French Mountain Air (1st)
- The Miraculous Mandarin Suite (2nd)
- Jennifer Higdon: Percussion Concerto (1st)
- Claude Vivier: Orion (3rd)
- Mozart Requiem (1st)
- Parsifal: An Orchestral Quest (2nd) (a Canadian work, an hour-long orchestral arrangement of music from Parsifal which was utterly wonderful)
- Wagner: Wesendonck Leider (1st) (orchestral arrangement)
- Paquito D’Riviera: Aires Tropicales for woodwind quintet
- My big project for the first semester was the KW audition and for the second was my jury, for which I played the Osborne rhapsody, Saent-Saens Sonata, a Vivaldi concerto, and the Tansman Sonatine.
On to the summer!
