00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:10.679
Welcome to our podcast. Band BFFs. The podcast

00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.019
where we make your music selection less complicated.

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:15.960
On today's episode, we're going to be discussing

00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.980
Danza Zanzare by JaRod Hall. Cheers to starting

00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:23.660
the conversation. All right, this is a piece

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:26.359
that Katie and I had the privilege of playing

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.739
this summer at the TBA, Texas Bandmasters Association

00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:32.200
Convention with our Phi Beta Mu reading band.

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:33.939
That's always a highlight of the convention,

00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:37.000
I think. I love getting to play some of the new

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.159
music and see it from a student or performer

00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.240
perspective. We loved this piece when we played

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.000
it. Like all the band directors on stage, we

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.560
were all like, oh, this is so fun. It was so

00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:50.299
cute, so cute. In fact, it's so great that I've

00:00:50.299 --> 00:00:52.479
decided to play it with my band for my fall concert

00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.979
so it's super duper fun and the kids absolutely

00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:57.340
love it so far. Of course they do how can they

00:00:57.340 --> 00:00:59.539
not. Right. This is really it's pretty straight

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:02.439
ahead it's 4 -4 the key of concert B flat throughout

00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.400
it's only two minutes in length it's got split

00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.480
clarinet split flute part split trumpet parts

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.659
all of this and percussion is pretty heavily

00:01:12.659 --> 00:01:14.540
written I think Gerard did a really nice job

00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:16.739
of giving your percussion some things to keep

00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:21.260
them interesting or interested. Six percussion

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.859
You could probably do it with five but six or

00:01:23.859 --> 00:01:25.420
seven is going to make sure that all the parts

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:27.359
are covered and a lot of these parts are really

00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:30.870
cute programmatic add to the whole effect. Yep.

00:01:31.810 --> 00:01:35.150
And this piece is called Danza Zanzari, which

00:01:35.150 --> 00:01:39.090
means dance of the mosquitoes. A little background.

00:01:39.269 --> 00:01:41.870
He wrote it when he was visiting Italy because

00:01:41.870 --> 00:01:45.390
he was like kind of taken aback by how many mosquitoes

00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:47.750
were out in the morning and the evening. And

00:01:47.750 --> 00:01:50.409
he said that you could like hear them and everything.

00:01:50.430 --> 00:01:52.290
And so he was kind of inspired to write this

00:01:52.290 --> 00:01:56.450
piece about mosquitoes so there's a lot of like

00:01:56.450 --> 00:01:59.269
little features here and there and the kids really

00:01:59.269 --> 00:02:03.209
enjoy getting to like figure out you know all

00:02:03.209 --> 00:02:06.409
the little nods to like and if you are from the

00:02:06.409 --> 00:02:09.810
south you have a you you have a a relationship

00:02:09.810 --> 00:02:13.590
with mosquitoes for sure so yes this is relatable

00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:17.590
for sure for sure so the piece starts out um

00:02:17.590 --> 00:02:21.870
with just percussion and the chimes get the melody

00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:24.889
which is so fun yeah i really love that chimes

00:02:24.889 --> 00:02:27.930
you know are not they're often used as an effect

00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:31.250
and i loved here that they're featured yep And

00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:33.389
all the percussion parts are cool. It's like

00:02:33.389 --> 00:02:36.009
a nice groove, the kids love it. They're gonna

00:02:36.009 --> 00:02:38.490
come down in volume after their initial opening

00:02:38.490 --> 00:02:40.650
at measure four, which is where the clarinet

00:02:40.650 --> 00:02:44.389
melody comes in. And they are gonna want to play

00:02:44.389 --> 00:02:46.530
very strong, even though they're the only ones

00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:49.550
playing. They have the melody and it's written

00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:54.530
really well in the staff. The style and articulation

00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:58.169
here is really important. For one, two, three.

00:02:58.379 --> 00:03:02.599
four, one, and two, and three, ta, ya, ta, ya,

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:07.020
ta, ya, ta, ta, ya, ta. So the articulation is

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:09.460
the thing that makes it a little bit trickier

00:03:09.460 --> 00:03:11.960
because it doesn't stay the same every single

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.020
time and you just have to either mark it in their

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:18.060
parts, but make sure you're teaching all the

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:20.159
accents and the lifts from the very get -go.

00:03:20.180 --> 00:03:22.719
And I like how he marks it. He has the accent,

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.360
or he has the quarter notes marked. the lower

00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.979
of the notes marked is accented, and then the

00:03:28.979 --> 00:03:30.800
upper note that you would want to be floated

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.080
marked as staccato. And so I really like the

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.979
visual of that. It helps we talk all the time

00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:39.000
about floating the high note, floating the high

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.800
note, and it's written in that way. So making

00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.479
sure that the kids don't energize or emphasize

00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.259
the staccato note, but do the reverse of that.

00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.419
Ta, ya, ta, ya, ta. So that, I mean, that's kind

00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:57.139
of tricky. Yeah, but it goes on the clarinet

00:03:57.139 --> 00:03:59.919
melody goes on for eight measures and so they're

00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:03.599
the opening statement and it ends the way that

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.099
I kind of like to think of this is like It's

00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:08.599
the first little mosquito army coming out of

00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:11.879
coming out to get us um, and then it ends one

00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.560
and two three four one and then you get this

00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.980
like Strong entrance on beat three from horn

00:04:18.980 --> 00:04:22.860
trombone euphonium and low reeds and now they're

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:24.579
they're in the background but they've come in,

00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:26.899
they've made their presence known. The flute

00:04:26.899 --> 00:04:29.839
and oboe are now playing the melody with the

00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.579
clarinet. Percussion is continuing on in their

00:04:33.579 --> 00:04:38.680
own little thing. The horn and low brass and

00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.300
low reeds kind of every once in a while have

00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:43.800
little interjections to bring out, but other

00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.149
than that they're just playing chords. The tuning

00:04:48.149 --> 00:04:51.050
is a little bit trickier in measures 18 and 19

00:04:51.050 --> 00:04:54.790
in the trombone There's some accidentals thrown

00:04:54.790 --> 00:04:58.170
in euphonium has a G flat So just making sure

00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:01.209
that all that tuning lines up the flutes go up

00:05:01.209 --> 00:05:03.509
a little higher here, too They're up above the

00:05:03.509 --> 00:05:07.689
staff and then piccolo comes in at measure 20

00:05:07.689 --> 00:05:10.329
Along with the trumpets. So this is the first

00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:12.889
time that they've played and the alto sax So

00:05:12.889 --> 00:05:16.230
they've got one two and three four and now the

00:05:16.230 --> 00:05:18.889
flute doing it too. This is the Melody at 21.

00:05:19.910 --> 00:05:22.209
They're up kind of high flutes and piccolo are

00:05:22.209 --> 00:05:26.389
above the staff. flutes are in thirds so just

00:05:26.389 --> 00:05:28.750
making sure that the tuning is definitely there

00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:31.610
those A's tend to be a little bit out of tune

00:05:31.610 --> 00:05:34.389
with the upper C's both of those against each

00:05:34.389 --> 00:05:35.329
other. And the second flutes are doubling the

00:05:35.329 --> 00:05:38.410
oboe which is not always awesome. Sometimes that's

00:05:38.410 --> 00:05:40.410
great but sometimes not so just make sure you're

00:05:40.410 --> 00:05:41.389
being aware of that. And the oboes are above

00:05:41.389 --> 00:05:44.170
the staff too. And I think this is so interesting

00:05:44.170 --> 00:05:46.009
I like the way the percussion parts are written

00:05:46.009 --> 00:05:48.930
here they're real like nothing is overly complicated

00:05:48.930 --> 00:05:51.269
but it really adds to the mood and the groove.

00:05:51.269 --> 00:05:54.079
Yeah. But really interesting Interestingly, so

00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.600
far we have not had any tuba play. So this is

00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:02.000
which in a... In a Gerard piece, I always think

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.220
that is so interesting because he's a tuba player.

00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:06.540
But yeah, here we are at measure 21 and there's

00:06:06.540 --> 00:06:09.360
still no tuba. Nope, my tubas really enjoy counting

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.379
and showing me how long they're resting in the

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:13.100
back. But then when they come in, they're in.

00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.860
So here's 21. We have the melody is in the trumpet,

00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.259
alto, flute and piccolo and oboe. So they're

00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:25.980
playing the counter melody is in tenor sax and

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:29.019
horn. It's up kind of high for trumpet up to

00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:31.939
like E flat. and D. Flutes are above the staff.

00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.660
It's important to make sure that they're playing

00:06:34.660 --> 00:06:37.939
four -measure phrases. It's written that way,

00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.139
but just making sure you're drawing an arrow

00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:42.500
or an energizing. Flutes need to use lots of

00:06:42.500 --> 00:06:45.800
vibrato with oboe, going over the bar line, but

00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.639
it's written to where, you know, it's obvious

00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.439
where they're gonna take their breath. But that

00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.939
half note at the end of the second measure is...

00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:53.040
Don't breathe. Yeah, that's right. It's gonna

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.920
make young players think that's an okay place

00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:56.860
to breathe. Yep, and then they're doing kind

00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:59.790
of like everything's... pretty connected tonguing

00:06:59.790 --> 00:07:04.810
wise. And then we have da, da, da, da, da, da,

00:07:04.810 --> 00:07:08.350
da, da. So it just sounds like heroic and like

00:07:08.350 --> 00:07:10.769
I said, it's kind of like a mosquito army coming

00:07:10.769 --> 00:07:13.829
to get you. So the kids like it and it's got

00:07:13.829 --> 00:07:17.589
like some contrary. Motion motion. That's what

00:07:17.589 --> 00:07:19.670
you call it, right? Yes the euphonium and the

00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:22.350
like trombone are going down one and two and

00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:24.750
the flutes are going one and two and Then the

00:07:24.750 --> 00:07:27.629
tubas come in finally and they pump up the volume

00:07:27.629 --> 00:07:31.110
and then everybody's playing at 29 And it's the

00:07:31.110 --> 00:07:32.910
same thing that we were playing before but now

00:07:32.910 --> 00:07:35.610
it sounds way beefier Just with the addition

00:07:35.610 --> 00:07:39.430
of those tubaloo reeds. Yep, the melody now.

00:07:39.730 --> 00:07:41.910
Well now we have both melodies happening at the

00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:44.870
same time So we have the normal the first melody

00:07:44.870 --> 00:07:49.860
bottom We have that melody, but we also have

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:56.839
the... So in his program notes, he talks about

00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.680
the first melody is the mosquito. The other melody

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.120
is like the beauty of the Italian countryside.

00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.939
So that's pretty cool. You know, it's just got

00:08:05.939 --> 00:08:08.879
just, it's just nicely written and the kids like

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.180
it because they get to have like different fun

00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:14.339
parts that are equally as important. So this

00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:17.920
is continuing. on you want to again balance to

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.860
the the horn part here with the danza zanzari

00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:24.139
part with the clarinets and the flutes now piccolo

00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:28.680
is up on high f's and high c's so if you're not

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.519
sure if and that is optional yeah you can play

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.340
it down the octave right right right don't be

00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:36.820
afraid right yeah because i was gonna say it's

00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:38.580
a little bit tricky to be in tune at measure

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.740
35 so this is where the whole band again has

00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:46.039
one and two four and one and then we have a hard

00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:49.539
cut off on beat three and the percussion is continuing

00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:52.379
on with their cool groove here chimes have the

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:54.480
melody again it's just like the beginning. I

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.840
love this part. She's smiling over here just

00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.059
getting excited. I am getting excited it's so

00:09:01.059 --> 00:09:02.879
cool first of all I love the way he utilizes

00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.259
the percussion yeah I think it's written yeah

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:08.340
it's written really really well within this you

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:10.720
know this is where really the mosquitoes come

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.659
out and I just I think it's just so precious.

00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.940
It is precious. So at 42, the woodwinds start...

00:09:16.940 --> 00:09:19.600
Our true language, which Katie loves. In this

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.080
piece, I don't have a problem with it. It starts

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.179
out with a forte piano trill so it's really quiet

00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:28.200
and they're just fluttering and it's like the

00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.320
mosquito coming at you and then they're getting

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.720
louder and then they get softer because now the

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.399
brass come in and they're gonna mouthpiece buzz

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.679
and they have the melody so they're just vibrating.

00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:44.019
Four, one, two, three. Four, one, two, three.

00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:48.899
Percussion still grooving. and then the woodwinds

00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:52.200
get to clap. So it's like you're smacking the

00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:57.919
mosquito. It's fun. I think it's adorable. If

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.629
two really like old... People think this is so

00:10:01.629 --> 00:10:03.909
fun. Think about the children. I promise there's

00:10:03.909 --> 00:10:06.490
just water in our cups right now, but this is

00:10:06.490 --> 00:10:09.570
it's adorable. I just love it. It's so cute and

00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:11.629
the kids think it's really fun too. And it's

00:10:11.629 --> 00:10:14.990
actually not as easy as it seems because the

00:10:14.990 --> 00:10:17.289
the part keeps getting like more different counting.

00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:20.149
The texture is thicker. Yeah. Yeah, and it's

00:10:20.149 --> 00:10:23.289
just it's not always four one rest rest. It's

00:10:23.289 --> 00:10:28.490
four one clap. three four clap two four so they

00:10:28.490 --> 00:10:31.129
have to really be counting because it changes

00:10:31.129 --> 00:10:33.169
a little bit and the pitches the brass are buzzing

00:10:33.169 --> 00:10:36.649
are supposed to be the written pitches yeah making

00:10:36.649 --> 00:10:39.110
sure like i mean i think that's great oh my gosh

00:10:39.110 --> 00:10:42.029
we worked on that quite a bit because you know

00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:44.950
not everybody is actually vibrating the right

00:10:44.950 --> 00:10:47.230
pitch and so talking about oh you're actually

00:10:47.230 --> 00:10:50.710
a little bit high um and then they get to vibrate

00:10:50.710 --> 00:10:54.860
two one and two and three, just like what the

00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:57.480
clarinets had before. That's not super duper

00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.980
easy either, just moving like little chromatically

00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:03.240
to make it sound the right way. Everybody's gonna

00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:05.860
be doing it. And it slurred. Yeah. And it slurred.

00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.059
Yep. Then the woodwinds come back in playing.

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:11.179
After all their clapping, they haven't quite

00:11:11.179 --> 00:11:13.659
gotten all the mosquitoes yet. So now they've

00:11:13.659 --> 00:11:16.870
got another forte piano trill. and they come

00:11:16.870 --> 00:11:20.490
in and they have like this new melody part while

00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:24.870
the brass are vibrating underneath it. You are

00:11:24.870 --> 00:11:27.429
supposed to hear the woodwinds a little bit more

00:11:27.429 --> 00:11:30.090
here than the brass, but like the little brass,

00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:33.789
you know, mouthpiece army is still occurring,

00:11:34.049 --> 00:11:36.450
yes. And percussion is still playing too, just

00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:39.649
way softer underneath. The timpani part's really

00:11:39.649 --> 00:11:42.850
cool too, in this whole little section, so I

00:11:42.850 --> 00:11:44.970
did tell my timpani player he could come out

00:11:44.970 --> 00:11:46.990
of the mix just little bit more than everything

00:11:46.990 --> 00:11:51.090
else. Then the woodwinds have like a melody.

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.360
Where they're gonna go one and two and three?

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:59.539
rest two and three rest two and three and four

00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:03.039
and one and two and three four and There's no

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.340
percussion when they do that. So they have to

00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:08.299
stay together under a slur move their fingers

00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:11.639
together Then they're up higher one and two and

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.879
three and four and then the woodwind or the brass

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.639
come in Trumpets come in on their instrument.

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.460
Yeah this time. Yeah not vibrating anymore one

00:12:20.460 --> 00:12:23.220
two and three Four and one and then it's like

00:12:23.220 --> 00:12:27.100
very heroic lots of like crash cymbal big like

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:30.759
trombone counter melody part Lots of accents.

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.740
It's exciting. Yes. It's just supposed to be

00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:37.000
I think like the mosquitoes are winning. Yeah

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.399
triumphant even though the little Dang bugs.

00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:43.440
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's really fun. So it's written.

00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:47.320
It's pretty like, you know busy so you have to

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:50.240
make sure you can always hear the the Mosquito

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.059
part the horns the alto the clarinet to those

00:12:54.059 --> 00:12:57.000
are the parts I like the new part in the trombone

00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:00.019
and euphonium here We have this, you know kind

00:13:00.019 --> 00:13:02.500
of interjection from them, which I think is really

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:06.220
cool. Yep It's continuing on. Woodwinds, like

00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:08.419
Laura mentioned, are doing some cool doodlies.

00:13:08.580 --> 00:13:11.179
One e and a two e and a three. So it's just kind

00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:13.720
of sounding like little mosquitoes buzzing all

00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.659
around. And then we kind of all land on one and

00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:24.039
two and sixty -six one and two. And then, timpani,

00:13:24.220 --> 00:13:28.340
bass drum, toms, they go, one, two, and it's

00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:31.039
supposed to be like, I think it's like stomping

00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.799
on the mosquitoes. That's how I get them. And

00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.139
the kids like thinking of it that way too. And

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:40.639
then the horn and the altos come in with the

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:45.100
new part. Three, four, one, two, three, four,

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:48.620
and one and two. It just sounds like a triumphant

00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:51.240
like mosquito. The mosquitoes are winning. Yeah,

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:52.639
they are winning for sure. Damn, the mosquitoes,

00:13:52.779 --> 00:13:54.639
they're winning. I know, they're gonna win. They

00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.220
always do. Then we end with like a little modulation.

00:14:01.220 --> 00:14:07.559
Is it one of those things? It is, right? Are

00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.019
you talking about a Pickardy third? Pickardy

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:11.379
third again? Yeah. Is that what it is? Oh my

00:14:11.379 --> 00:14:14.799
gosh. We go major. Yeah. Yeah, it's a Picardy

00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.259
third for sure. I know if you've listened to

00:14:17.259 --> 00:14:19.720
us you understand Yeah, how she's so ashamed

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.820
of me. I'm not ashamed. Okay. Yeah, right. So

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:26.200
but yeah, no, this is yeah, yeah Yeah, so we

00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.299
end with this cool part. I haven't gotten this

00:14:28.299 --> 00:14:31.700
far with my band yet So it's it's modulating

00:14:31.700 --> 00:14:34.700
to the major key now. I've been in G minor this

00:14:34.700 --> 00:14:37.740
whole time Yes, but the horn and sax and clarinet

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:40.419
kind of have the part with the flute It's the

00:14:40.419 --> 00:14:42.500
last little moment then we have another stomp

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:45.500
stomp from the percussion and then the brass

00:14:45.500 --> 00:14:48.940
ended out three and four one two and a three

00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:54.179
so it just ends like cute and fun it is super

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:57.230
cute I am a little offended them the mosquitoes

00:14:57.230 --> 00:15:00.870
one. Listen, everyone needs their day in the

00:15:00.870 --> 00:15:04.049
sunshine. But this piece is super cute. Like

00:15:04.049 --> 00:15:08.350
I said, it's kind of like an earworm. The kids

00:15:08.350 --> 00:15:10.330
are going to enjoy singing it, which is going

00:15:10.330 --> 00:15:12.350
to be good because then they can mouthpiece buzz

00:15:12.350 --> 00:15:15.470
it correctly. It's just a catchy tune and it's

00:15:15.470 --> 00:15:18.190
just fun. It's programmatic. It's well written.

00:15:18.610 --> 00:15:23.549
It's scored well and fun. Rarely ever do I...

00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.600
deviate away from not playing spooky music at

00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.100
my fall concert, but I thought this was spooky

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:32.000
enough sounding and just fun that it kind of

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.980
fits with the theme and the kids love it. So

00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:36.200
yeah, I agree. Well, we hope you will program

00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.000
Danza Zanzari in the future, brand new piece

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:42.600
2025, and thank you for joining us on this episode

00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:44.899
