Ain't that something

No

Is perfect

Lebo25 Thank you for your comments. I was the EH player on the video and it’s nice to hear from a colleague. It is a great solo part.

@@OklahomaCitySymphonicBand It is indeed a fine solo part. Another piece of Dr Reed's. the Armeinan Dances also has lovely English horn work in both the !st part and the second part. The second is less well known but has the best Eh part. If you've never played either you're in for a real treat. Hope you have or get the chance. He did write nicely for our Instrument.. Also nice to meet another Eh player. Not many of us. For many years I was both oboe and Eh as needed but had to give up the oboe in 2009 to an arthritic hand problem. So glad it did not affect my Eh playing. I'm mostly retired now but still do play Eh parts when asked. It was my main instrument in college.

I grew up in Fremont! I now live in Topeka, KS. My maid of honor, Kathryn, plays both oboe & English horn. She’s from San Antonio, & we met @ Augustana College in Sioux Falls, SD; she ended up @ Augie because her godfather was Lawrence Welk’s accordianist, Myron Floren, & he was an Augustana alumnus. During the time we were at Augustana (1997-2001 for me, she started two years later), the first & last pieces of this medley, Children's Prayer & Cathedral Chorus, were the centerpiece of the Christmas Vespers service, which included all 3 of Augie’s choral groups; Kathryn & I both sang in the Women's Choir. While the Brass Choir played the piece, the members of all 3 choirs would form a cross down the main aisle of the church & in front of the communion railing; we stood with our heads bowed until the massive timpani roll (@ 12:13 in this video), at which point we all raised our heads at the same moment. I came looking for a video of this piece after I heard it on Kansas Public Radio on Classical Music in the afternoon.
