Does anyone know the full instrumentation for this? This stuff is great. Heard it live with El Paso Symphony Orchestra. They had screens and were showing footage of besert in fast motion and other cool stuff. But I was watching the orchestra the whole time. Trully entrancing.
I think this is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written. It must have been completely incredible to hear it live. My hairs stand on end just listening to a recording.

I played percussion in this concert, and what a pleasant surprise to find it on YouTube!
In answer to some of the questions here:
Brass? No, as I recall there is no brass in the "Desert Music".
Hertz Hall at UC Berkeley? Yes it is.
Bad video? Well, it's a university AV department, not PBS; whaddya expect? ;-)
Great piece? You bet, and hard as hell to play, too. A lot of very good musicians on this vid sweating bullets and counting like mathemeticians

@ikshields you probably didnt play the full orchestral version of it then..if there is no brass, then its the smaller instrumentation.

Does anyone know the brass instrumentation for this piece or if there are brass it's hard to see with the vid quality. -sounds epic though.
