Taken Back: Click To Listen

Towards the middle of last week (Wednesday?  Thursday?), my friend Josh asked if I’d be willing to help perform some music for him.  As it turns out, he was making a last-minute composition as background music for a skit that will be performed in Honduras by a small group from our church—and he had all of about two days to write the music, notate it, get our group together for a practice session, and record.  Talk about cramming.  I’d be hard-pressed to come up with a simple melody line in that time, but somehow Josh pulled together a piece for piano, two violins, viola, and cello. (What’s that, a piano quintet?  I’m not sure.)

Saturday found us at the church building, recording the song.  It’s amazingly impressive!  You can hear the entire piece in the media player above.  I wish I’d had a bit more time to practice those shifts…ah, well.  Try to excuse our less-than-perfect performance; the music itself is awesome.   Most of the melody you’ll hear is my sister Toni on first violin, accompanied by Josh on piano, my sister Katy on second violin, and our friend Lydia on cello.  I’d rather not point out my few lines of melody…
