Because this needed to be recorded.

“DROP THE BASS” the orchestra member drops his instrument and knocks over all of the other musicians. the concert is ruined.

Remember that time I was sitting in orchestra wondering if anyone’s ever fallen off the stage and then someone fELL OF F THE STASGE

[dmitri-shostabrovich]

“I really like how the Saint-Saëns sounds…”

“NOPE”

When you have 20+ measures of rest and you stop counting and listen to everyone else play

And then you realize you don’t know how long you’ve rested and have no idea when to come in.

and then you start frantically looking at the music of the people around you desperately seeking out some kind of cue

This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.

This is the result. And it makes me laugh every single time.

It tries to be so dramatic but it just falls flat. Love it.

Music History I

Dr. Rice: So for the test you need to memorize the 5 parts of the Ordinary Mass and their functions.

Student: Dr. Rice, there are 9 sections in the Ordinary: 6 sung and 3 spoken...so which 5 do we need to know?

Dr. Rice: Did you know I'm married to a woman from Venezuela and we sing in the Catholic church choir every week and she studied at a Russian conservatory and the parts of the Mass fit together like Legos.

Student: Could you give us a definition for "motet?"

Dr. Rice: Well it's a kind of music oh did you know my freshman year roommate in college went on to become Eminem's producer let me tell you about my YouTube research on rap did I mention I'm married to a woman here's my iPod let's listen to this rap.

A Classic French Horn Joke...

A French Horn is a lot like a woman; it’s beautiful, it’s curvacious, and it’s got lots of tubes that I don’t understand.
