00:04:34.740 - 00:04:54.060

Unknown: Thank you Thank you very much. It's a great pleasure for me to be here in this context and to introduce you to my wonderful friends from New York presently. And that tune we just did was written for us by a

00:04:54.060 - 00:05:07.710

friend of ours named George Bush got Poe and we went to him and said, George, could you write some opener that would explain why How we got really from Bach to be Bob, but I'm not sure if I explained that we're still not sure how we got here. But

00:05:07.710 - 00:05:21.060

anyway, we'll continue with a tune by David Ramos who you've probably met this week. He's been composer in residence, one of our many composers in residence. And this feature is a lesser known talent of ours, which you'll probably agree

00:05:21.060 - 00:13:37.980

should remain lesser known. This is called fever pitch. That's not it. You're ready It was by a writer from New York named Billy verplanck and as called Bubba Loomis blues and now we're gonna feature once

00:13:37.980 - 00:13:50.940

again you you'll be able to tell by the end of our set that Dave Ramos is definitely one of our favorite composers on this next tune he wrote is called pictures of Emily and he wrote it dedicated to a, I guess one of his composition students who

00:13:50.940 - 00:18:19.050

started studying when she was 81. This next chart we're going to do as written by a fella who helped actually helped me with this crazy idea in the first place his name is Gary Anderson and I actually went to him I had

00:18:19.050 - 00:18:34.800

this idea that we would play rock and roll and everyone was really pretty unimpressed with that whole concept. Particularly since I couldn't find anybody to write rock and roll for violin so but Gary had played with Woody, Herman's band and so he

00:18:34.800 - 00:18:47.850

said, Well, I can write you some swing music and so I said, Okay, swing sounds fine. Didn't know the first thing about it, but it's a whole other story. But this was a tune I'd love to listen to in a version by Stephane Grappelli. I don't know

00:18:47.850 - 00:19:08.850

if you're big fan of his I love his playing and yeah. Gary said if you can write out the solo. I'll make you a chart. So here it is. It's called a Ellington tune called it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. So you have to see how

00:19:08.850 - 00:22:59.490

fast I can play these days. One of the first things Gary did Gary Anderson was he said, well you know you're going to have to hear some swing music before you can play it so he got us some 10 tickets to go here. Woody Herman's band and they did an

00:22:59.490 - 00:23:09.180

arrangement of come rain or come shine which I absolutely fell in love with the tune and especially the thick harmonies I said, Oh, that'll sound great with strings. You see I I had to motivate him a

00:23:09.180 - 00:32:00.780

lot. So he did an arrangement of come rain or come shine. Take it away So I hope you haven't become too attached to your program because I think we're leaving it now. So what we're gonna do is just uh,

00:32:00.810 - 00:32:12.510

if you have time, we're gonna play a little, you know, a few more on the first set than we were gonna do on the second and then do them only in the movie because, well, it's a long story, but anyway, so don't look at your program anymore. So we'd

00:32:12.510 - 00:32:22.290

like to continue with another tune by orchestrated by George Bogart. co. And this used to be one of our theme songs, but no longer now that we're liberated is called my heart belongs to daddy.

00:32:29.280 - 00:36:08.400

What do I want to do? I'd better tell you what it is that you've abandoned your program now. That's right. So, you might have guessed though it's a tune by Dave rimless. This one's called sneaking.

00:36:26.610 - 00:41:21.210

Perfect So you met that was Evan Ritchie on cello and Lisa Terry on violin and you already know Lois she's on Viola and Lois Martin and Ruth

00:41:21.210 - 00:41:44.490

Siegler and on bass force Moyer and on drums Chris Adams. Joining me in the violins beside Lisa is Joyce Hammond and we're now going to feature my very good friend extraordinarily talented Mary

00:41:44.490 - 00:42:10.470

Raul. She's going to do a piece that was written for her by Michael Saul. I guess he'd heard her play once and was inspired by the Gypsy in her notes say how are we going to do this? Oh, go a little taller than I am. You see?

00:42:12.480 - 00:42:19.290

Yeah, well, okay, wait, get Okay, there we go. All right. Now, you know the whole dynamics of this group now okay.
