Ma che spettacolo! Fantastic!

[@nicholashiley9211]

This intriguing and witty composition by Joan Tower, interpreted superbly by the B.S.O. will reveal more pleasures from further listenings: thank you, one and all.

I just played this in memory of Katie Robinson Lundvall BSN

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra has this on the schedule for next September

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️

[@marta5sings]

Beautiful and uplifting!

I wouldn't say this was a Fanfare - but it's still a great composition. Loved it.

[@coldhands4799]

David A that’s the point, she wrote these fanfares as a tribute to adventurous women while referencing Copland’s “Fanfare for The Common Man”

[@Thatsgay123]

its an ideological statement.

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

@@Thatsgay123 That it may be, but you miss my point as did the previous person 2 years ago. The title says "Fanfare" and this isn't one.

[@daniellu8282]

@@DavidA-ps1qr What does fanfare mean in your ancestral language?

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

@@daniellu8282 Thank you for your question Daniel. A Fanfare is a brief musical formula normally played on Trumpets,Horns or Bugles occasionally accompanied by percussion. It is "signal" music and was "ancestrally" used in battles, hunts and court ceremonies. In modern times it's used as an introduction to an event or occasion. Fanfares have also been used in opera. See Tannhauser, Lohengrin & Fidelio. The English composer Arthur Bliss wrote many, so if you want to listen to them they are proper fanfares. This piece isn't a fanfare by definition. I still like though. Hope this answers your question.

This is awesome. Women composers like Joan and Ruth Crawford Seeger are so gifted. Great talent. "Threnody for Frank Zappa" by Tony villodas

As one who has to play this I am here with spite in my heart

Relaxing then super tense

[@mccpesh]

Can anyone tell me why this recording has an extra beat in bars 84 and 103? Did this get changed after the performance or is this the intended result as it is not in the current score?

[@ethancooper4154]

All these comments from women about how cool this piece is and what it means and the first dude to post a comment is like "aCkTuAlLy tHiS iSn'T rEaLlY a fAnFaRe bUt I gUeSs iT's cOoL" I don't know whether to laugh or vomit

[@apple2awesome697]

Wow.....

[@XatxiFly]

super cool

[@alexandrelevy3916]

Vive les femmes!!

[@HermanIngram]

Very clever title, Joan.

[@HermanIngram]

Bach’s wives were the greatest women ever to have lived.

[@mjnyc8655]

Nice little piece but it's no fanfare.

[@Thatsgay123]

I'm sorry, but a precocious highschooler could have written this. The chug a chugga is boring.
