"If it sounds good, it IS good." ~ Duke Ellington

If I remember correctly (from having performed this years ago), the beginning of the score, at least for the wind and brass sections, reads something to the effect of "make noise" or "random sounds." The "random sounds" on this recording sound a good deal better than I recall ours sounding.

Wow, it has some very powerful parts to it. This makes me want to go whale watching. As a musician, I thought some of the whale songs were out of context to the piece, but as a whale lover, I was exstatic they were in there in the first place. Made me very happy. Thank you for uploading it!

Boo. I like Haydn's setting in The Creation better.

@TheRealmsOfGold That's a strange comparison. You mean: Haydn's setting OF The Creation. But hey, this is about Whales and not about THE Creation. Get with it, or don't comment. Think before you write.
PS And this is not about the Creation of Wales either.

@bartje11 That's not a very nice reply. Yes, I do mean Haydn's setting of [the text about the creation of whales in his setting of] The Creation, or however you want to put it. And yes, it is a strange comparison. That's how good programming is done. As a conductor and as a composer, I'm very intent on juxtaposing differing approaches to content. Plus, Haydn was on my mind when I was referred to this video. What's wrong with all of that? :-)

@TheRealmsOfGold You Boo-ing this fantastic piece ticked me off. That's how that goes. You put something down I LIKE very much. Thank you. You are the rude one. Not me. You sow the seed, you harvest it.

@bartje11
Hahaha. They say to disagree with a man's political views is to risk being considered a fool, but to insult his musical tastes is to risk becoming his enemy.
