For this week’s rhapsody, we have a relatively new one, the Edel Rhapsody by Stephen Caudel.
I don’t think I’d even heard of the Wagner tuba before listening to this one. It sounds almost like a brass bassoon!
It’s been a while since I did Tuesday Rhapsodies. I freely admit that it was because I was scraping the barrel and was having trouble finding new ones. Just by sheer luck, I found that since my last search, Wikipedia had started a new list along with the main article. In the process, I found two new ones!
The first was Taras Bulba by Czech composer Leoš Janá?ek. If I ever heard of it before, I probably got it mixed up with one of the villains in Darkwing Duck.
Anyway, here it is performed by the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Sir Charles Mackerras.
Here’s wishing a very happy 98th birthday to Mr. Miles Davis!
Let’s celebrate by listening to Nefertiti!
Here’s wishing a very happy 124th birthday to Mr. Duke Ellington! Let’s celebrate by listening to “In A Sentimental Mood.”
The newest archives video is up. Where we go all the way back to Nancy’s first appearance. We also fill in the little plot hole of how she first meets Kate so she can have coffee with her.
