the conductor speeds this up way too much at the tempo change.

The bass hits could've been a lot louder.

Glad to see so many positive comments. I read that Dr. McBeth was Bill Clinton's school bandleader.

I'm one of the members of this amateur (hobby) orchestra. We don't use professionals, except when one of our own players gets sick or is otherwhise unable to be at the concert.

I was fortunate to play in a band under this great composer and musician (under awful conditions) and he as a gentleman from start to finish! Love this piece and look forward to a DEFINITIVE recording on day by a MAJOR ensemble.
Also, the composer, Francis McBeth, is an American. He received his bachelor's degree, master's degree, and his doctorate's degree---guess where? The United States.

Dr.McBeth, a great family friend for decades. Yes, he loved French Horns because he knew they could do more. I am one myself that has been under his direction. He passed away on Jan. 6 2012. At least we have his music!
