Merry Christmas from Pergolesi
Merry Christmas to all. Here’s a bit of annual listening for me, not Christmas music per se, but certainly in the right mood. One of the best orchestral trombone sections in the history of the universe — Byron Peebles (my teacher), Ralph Sauer, Herbert Ausman and Jeff Reynolds — performs music by Pergolesi (or perhaps just attribute to him), recognizable from its use in Stravinsky’s “Pulcinella” Suite.
