We recently got a ton of scores in here at the Music Library. So many that we can’t really contain it to one post. Therefore in the interest of globalism and international unity, the scores will be categorized into American and European composers.
So let’s start with the American Composers, shall we?
Among other things, we received some Elliot Carter and Steve Reich. However the majority seem to be works by John Cage. In celebration of this, I thought I would present Mr. Cage himself playing a cactus. Awesome, right?
Anyway, here you go:
Louis Andriessen: De Tijd ~ M 1543 .A53 T5 1995
Morton Feldman: Rothko Chapel ~ M 1531 .F45 R65 2008
Steve Reich: City Life ~ M 947 .R45 C58 1998
Steve Reich: Tehillim ~ M 2019.5 .R45 T4 2010
Steve Reich: Different Trains ~ M 452 .R45 D54 1998
John Cage: Rozart Mix ~ M 1470 .C34 R69 1965
John Cage: Speech (1965) ~ M 1470 .C34 S64 1960
John Cage: Cheap Imitation ~ M 25 .C34 C443 1970

than 372 trombones all playing at the same time?
372 trombones playing on field at Nationals Park of course!
Take a listen while you are serenaded by the sweet sounds of “76 Trombones” organized by FAME and the upcoming ARENA production of “The Music Man”.
