Bernstein's score for To Kill a Mockingbird was extraordinary. I've had the vinyl since the 1960s. It was also the first movie role for Robert Duvall, as Boo Radley.

This is one of my favorite Orchestral Music pieces of all time. I know every note of this.
I found this to be a particularly lovely version, and the camera work highlighting the members of the orchestra is nice too!

Just a little break from politics.
LOL...I started over a few years ago, but decided I was going to build most of my own furniture. It’s moving along slowly but surely, but remains a work in progress :-)
I have been looking for a cabinet/wine rack/work surface for an odd gap in my new kitchen right next to the stove. It has to be 35” tall to match the counters, 18” x 19” to fit, and have a butcher block surface. I have looked everywhere and can’t find what I want, so I will probably end up building it.
I have a portable “island” but it is too wide for the space. Maybe i can chop the edges off...I have a Sawsall...
Sounds like a pretty simple project. When I moved into my fixer-upper about two years ago there were a lot of odd gaps and a dearth of horizontal storage I’ve been slowly putting to right.
I was a not-the-greatest French horn [spit happens] player. But we had a first class band director, and our band over the years has won many awards He taught us all a love and appreciation of music of all kinds, and was the band director who would throw the baton at the player who goofed up...mostly my brother. LOL!
Great question.
They always see him. You learn to have very good peripheral vision when playing so you don’t miss your cues.
I have the Reiner. I used to have the Beecham on vinyl.
My brother will help me...he’s a pretty good carpenter.
My experience with wood is fixing old guitars.
French Horn is beautiful!
I like low notes. I am a contralto who plays bass, so there ya’ go!
There are several beautiful (shall I say sensuous) versions of the complete ballet on YouTube. Here is one:

Thanks...I’ll check it out!
Well, I sing alto. Not trained but I think being in a music program helped to train my ear so that I’m not completely sharp or flat. LOL!
You have real talent! :)
Thanks, dear FRiend! You are very kind. :-)

It’s totally the truth.
Are you staying in the Boston area after all? Have you been doing some music lessons? How does Lyn-DAH like it there?
Just listened to it. Lovely overall, except for the next to the last movement that was much too speeded up. But the final violin solo was perfectly exquisite. Wonder who that first chair violin is? Stunning bow work and fingering.
I love Morricone. I have a bookmark on my computer to the score from Cinema Paradiso that I play while working.
Thank you for the link to On Earth as It Is in Heaven.

Yeah...I am just waiting for the closing on Mom’s house so I can buy a mobile home in the same park as my little sister, whose hubby has early onset alzheimers.
She is going to need me.
I am already decorating in my head as i sit in a corner of Mom’s empty two family, living out of boxes.
I will get established teaching once i move, but I am already singing out at open mike nights around the area.
I have a following already.
It’s better and a lot cheaper than going to a shrink. LOL.
I noticed the tempo also, but was so enchanted by the the energy in the execution of the piece that I really didn’t mind it too much. :-)
I will check that out. I will put it in my Netflix Queue! :-)
