Take A Bow



"Entrada" by Stephen Scott, performed by the Bowed Piano Ensemble of Colorado College.
Ryan Raul BaƱagale (one of the original performers, and co-founder of the blog Amusicology - a favorite of mine, not to mention the place I found this video) points out the pretty intense choreography that necessarily goes along with a piece like this. Not to get back on the "some-music-would-be-perceived-differently-if-you-couldn't-see-the-performance" horse again, but: well, yes. Plus: what sounds! And all of them from a grand piano.

(If I had known about this in college, you can bet I would have tried to make it happen. Or at least thought about trying to make it happen before succumbing to comps.)

  1. Just a thought. Every year at reunion, there's some sort of classical concert. Sometimes Alum comes back and play, and Nikki did one two years ago.

    Umm, I think it's entirely possible if we talk to Nikki and get something set up for one of the reunions. I'd totally come back up to MN for this!!!
