Isn't it beautiful? I'm too embarrassed to say where I heard it the first time, but I'll give you a hint: When Mrs. Kissell breaks wind, we beat the dog.
Played that when I was in high school band, it was an adapted version, otherwise the woodwind section would've been just sitting there. I played coronet for marching band and french horn for concert band.
You really need to see the video of them doing the "Hall of the Mountain King" though to really appreciate their talent! I could never move my arms and hands fast enough!
One of my favorite artists who uses minimal vocals used the Houston skyline for a backdrop for his concert in Houston in 1986. Basiclly took over the whole city as a screen for his images while doing a simulcast.
Sincere thanks to John and everybody else for all the great tunes. I go into the hospital tomorrow at 6:30 AM to have a total left knee replacement and will be out of commission for a few days. I now have some great tunes to listen too while I am recuperating.

They do an all musical cover of several Metallica songs too that sound AMAZING! If you've never heard electrified cellos, you should try it!
Speaking of Metallica, They, the Panther's pa system, play this prior to when the Panthers enter the field at home games.
Apocalyptica does that one in all electrified cellos too. I'm listening to "One" cover by Apocalyptica now.
You really need to see the video of them doing the "Hall of the Mountain King" though to really appreciate their talent! I could never move my arms and hands fast enough!
