Esoteric, long-shot music question (classical) |
|
During the day I leave my DirectTV tuned to 834, "Classical Masterpieces." I listen to their classical programing, and when I hear something I haven't heard (or something of which I can't remember the name or composer) I take a quick peak at the TV screen for that info.
Last October, I heard a beautiful piece (the name of which I have forgotten) that I determined was by an American composer. Although the piece sounded symphonic, the performer was listed as "The Gold Band." The composer and "the Gold Band" linked, if I remember correctly, and it was a west coast connection. I had the pleasure of listening to that piece a number of times in the fall. I even wrote the info down (somewhere).
I have not heard it lately on DirectTV, but I would like to find a CD. Anyone have a clue from this scant bit of info?

sorry. Could it be a band associated with one the the big universities? I looked but did not find anything. Occasionally I will hear some band music on my classical station and they are often a university band. I will keep my ears open and ask around, since I am a classical musician I have a few resources. Bookmarking, I will PM you if I find out.

2. I think "Gold" might have been the director. |
|
My fault for misplacing my notes. I always keep a legal pad for just this kind of thing. Thanks.

Morton Gould the composer? He has written some mighty nice band music.

4. No. Definately not Gould. |
|
The composers name was completely different. When I had it in my notes, I Googled the composer's name and "Gold Band" and found a connection. Now, when I Google "The Gold Band," I get stuff about hight school marching bands.

5. Have you tried to email the channel? |
|
I did a google on "classical masterpieces channel 834" and got lots of hits that might help.
I have no idea, and I am up on classical music.

9. Was it the Goldman Band? A very, very famous band that |
|
was conducted by Edwin Franco Goldman. I think they're still around. I heard them at Damrosch Parl at Lincoln Center back in the 1980s.
