Winter Quarter Music and Seating Audition Spots

Philharmonia download links will be shared by the BYSO office near the end of the week prior to our first rehearsal on January 6.  Check your email then for the link and password.  However, many of you asked to have parts earlier if possible.

One of the pieces we will be performing is the Fourth Movement from Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 “New World Symphony.”  This was requested by several of you!  If you want to look at the parts in advance of the download links, they are available online now.  You can go to the imslp.org page found below.

• https://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.9,_Op.95_(Dvořák,_Antonín)
  • Go to the ‘Sheet Music’ section (middle of page).
  • Click on ‘Parts’ tab.
  • Go to the second grouping edited by ‘Otakar Sourek.’
  • Click on ’12 more’ to open the parts for download.
  • All Strings:  These imslp parts do not have all the bowings we will use.  The BYSO download files will.
  • Clarinet, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone:  There are also transposed parts lower down on that page.  All these will be added to the BYSO download file as well.
    • Claudio Rosatelli transposition (Bb for Clarinet)
    • Paul Kim transposition (F for Horn, Bb Trumpet, Bass Clef for Trombone 1 and 2)
