De Profundis, Music for Low Instruments 3/28/12 Sprague Hall

Faculty and student arranged pieces for; sackbuts, bassoon, double bass, trombones, cellos, and tuba were the highlights from the low end. What a concept, and some eyebrow-raising arrangements from Mozart, Bach, and Penderecki. A sackbut is a mini trombone that sometimes needs an extender to reach the truly low notes. The double bass piece had the professor whispering at his bass while slapping and accosting with mallets.
