    Haven't played this piece, but I've met Galante. He was a clinician at a high school band clinic I attended. It's very enlightening having the composer teach his own music. We only shook hands... I should've gotten his autograph

    • @TheoSKMultitracks
      @TheoSKMultitracks 3 года назад

      Even better idea - Bb1. It’s higher, for sure, but you could feasibly have a *lot* more people playing it (Trombones/Baritones/Tubas/String Basses/Bass Clarinet?/Contrabass Clarinet/Bassoon/Contrabassoon) - it’d also help that the 3-valve Baris and triggerless Trombones could actually play those notes without using false tones, so there’s some extra body in that. Maybe get the Tubas & Contrabassoons to play Bb0 (+ String Basses could also maybe drop tube down there) for extra unholiness?
      Yeah…..I get excited quickly. I love to see this sort of idea anywhere, regardless of how it’s done

    • @joes4389
      @joes4389 7 лет назад +4

      It allows Galante to be really flexible with notes to have no key signature. There are also so many accidentals that a key signature would be essentially useless. You can still transcribe it, just do it using the no flat no sharp key for every instrument and then add in the accidentals.
