Donald Erb is a hugely under-rated composer whose music is always full of color. I've only had the chance to hear a few Foss pieces, but I've always enjoyed his music, and found him a fun and interesting conductor to play for too. Berg- one of the great works of all time. Walton- always the master craftsman. Lalo- okay, I agree with you on almost all the yum works. Mahler 6- I think it's mostly a budget thing. It's one of the larger orchestra of the Mahlers, and much more likely to well beyond the core players in even a major orchestra, where the 5th can be done with people already on the payroll. I couldn't pick a favorite Mahler, but 6 would certainly be a possible favorite. It's the first one I learned, and although I did read it with a good orchestra in my youth, I have yet to perform it. Soon. Soon. It must be soon. CB- I completely agree with you on all the “yum” works. Donald Erb is a hugely under-rated composer whose music is always full of color.

LS conducted just "Ritual Observances" on the Don Erb Memorial Concert. I conducted "The Devil's Quickstep," and the other two pieces were played by students and a faculty member, respectively (you can see some of the performances on You Tube). Hope you have a great holiday season! I'd love to catch up after the holidays! Keith Hi Ken,
