Whether it be Milhaud’s spiritual influences, the misadventure of Strauss’ merry prankster or the symphonic breadth of Spohr’s writing, an evening of fine music is assured.
ensemble SECESSION is comprised of the finest players in WA, including Margaret Blades, WASO Associate Concert Master and other WASO Principal instrumentalists, with significant international experience including the Vienna Symphony and Vienna Classical Players. ensemble SECESSION is inspired by Schoenberg’s desire to perform symphonic pieces in a chamber setting.
Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks is a tone poem by Richard Strauss (1864-1949) chronicling the misadventures and pranks of the German peasant folk hero, Till Eulenspiegel.
In Dreams of Jacob French composer Darius Milhaud (1892–1974), hints at jazz whilst drawing inspiration from the biblical account of the stairway to heaven. Jet Whistle, Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887–1959), is a cello and flute duet, chromatic and cool, with a range of nuanced moods over three movements.
Nonet, Louis Spohr (1784–1859), celebrates Sphor’s gift of lyricism and gracious melody by way of symphonic form.

Poem – “Clarinet Mouthpieces”
August 28, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Clarinet
Mouthpieces
have you ever found that they always
sound absolutely perfect until you
decide to play in public.
they want to rewrite the music.
however they can be gently coaxed
by a talk and treat beforehand.
you can make them obey like a dog
learning a trick if you reward them
after every performance. repetition is not required
but recommended unless squeaks are in your song.
do not scold them because this
makes them quiver like mice and they
squeak just as much. not very pleasant.
when left to their own devices they are
usually very lazy and will sit all alone
like a hermit. they must be trained
and broken in to produce good sound
and combat sleepiness. once one has
chosen the path of laziness they will
often collapse during use. recovery is uncommon.
