Project Description
You may know that a “concerto” is a piece of orchestral music that usually features a single instrument. Concertos have been written for violins, pianos, oboes, etc. But I stumbled across an instrument for which a concerto had never been written, and I decided to address this horrible injustice.
So, I’m proud to present to you my new symphonic concerto, featuring the noble, stately, too often forgotten – toy train whistle. Yep, I’m not kidding. You know that little wooden box that makes a silly sound when you blow into it? That’s what we’re talking here. 😉
I actually composed it to help introduce young children to the sound of an orchestra, and you can hear this short piece by clicking here (performed in by the Budapest Symphony).
Enjoy, and as always, if I can help you with music for a project, just let me know!
