The tunes, recorded in four sessions in 1961 and 1962, are a widely varied lot in terms of material, arrangements, and accompanists... Like most of the Prestige albums of this period, Soul Summit, Vol. 2 is uneven, but it contains enough gems to make it worthwhile".

Don Heckman wrote in the Los Angeles Times (February 2, 1995) about "the importance of bassist Charles Ables and drummer Steve Williams to Horn's sound. Working with boundless subtlety, following her every spontaneous twist and turn, they were the ideal accompanists for a performer who clearly will tolerate nothing less than perfection".

The surviving recorded music from this era presents a skewed portrait. Dixon, Goderich and Rye's discography of pre-1999 blues and gospel recordings identifies sixty-eight fiddlers as principal artists and accompanists. As Marshall Wyatt points out, "the violin once held center stage in the rich pageant of vernacular music that evolved in the American South … and the fiddle held sway as the dominant folk instrument of both races until the dawn of the 20th century." As the practice demands of the fiddle conflicted with the work life of most musicians during the Depression, fiddlers found little opportunities to record.

His main accompanists included jazz saxophonist David Binney and violinist Rob Thomas. Singer Norah Jones and jazz pianist Uri Caine were among the featured guests. In a 2014 interview for Guitar Player, Harrison said that part of the attraction of making Free Country, as with his 2005 album of George Harrison compositions, Harrison on Harrison, was that the material was not usually played by jazz artists, and so these projects allowed him the freedom to "[create] my own jazz repertoire".

Since his teens, Pt. Shivputra regularly accompanied his father on Tanpura for vocal support. In 1975, Pt. Shivputra, then known as "Mukul Komkalimath," debuted his first performance at the 23rd Sawai Gandharva Music Festival being the first in his generation of singers to debut a performance at the prestigious venue. Since his wife's death, Pt. Shivputra has performed infrequently and irregularly in the public, which most attribute to his alcoholism. Pt. Shivputra is also known for his temperamental antics on the concert stage, from lecturing his accompanists on how to play their instruments, to showing up drunk to his performances.

Participants also perform in two complete opera productions with orchestra and the Schwabacher Summer Concert. The program incorporates intensive training in operatic repertory languages, diction, acting and movement and culminates with the Merola Grand Finale, a concert with full orchestra at the War Memorial Opera House. Merola also enables young coach accompanists and stage directors of exceptional talent to develop skills through the apprentice coach and stage director programs. The Merola Opera Program is a financially independent 501(c)3 organization that operates in close collaboration with the San Francisco Opera Center and San Francisco Opera.

The 1960 premiere, broadcast by the BBC, is now commercially available and finds Deller in fresher voice; Myfanwy Piper described his singing of Oberon as "unearthly". Lutenist Desmond Dupré performed with him, initially as a guitarist; other accompanists included harpsichordist and musicologist Walter Bergmann. In later years, he worked with lutenist Robert Spencer and harpsichordists Harold Lester and William Christie. His recordings include the lute songs of Dowland, operas by Handel, Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream, songs and semioperas by Purcell (such as The Fairy Queen), traditional English folk songs, works by Thomas Tallis, and the Bach alto repertoire.

In the Shanbei region near Inner Mongolia, "blind beggars who recited tales and travelled with pipa accompanists were common", prior to the 1949 revolution. Under Mao, blind itinerants called shuoshude () played a three-string lute in "household ritual contexts" using their narrative "as a potent force for social reform" by the Communist Party.De Ferranti 22-3. Prior to the spread of Buddhism during the sixth to ninth centuries, it was "generally acknowledged that in Japanese ritual life blind men and women [were] respected as shamanic celebrants who bore numinous power because of their separation from the world experienced by others".

Pine started a foundation in 2001 to promote the study and appreciation of classical music, including string music by black composers. It prepares music curricula on black composers, loans high-quality instruments to deserving young musicians, and provides grants to cover incidental expenses (such as for supplemental lessons, accompanists, sheet music, travel, competition entrance fees, instrument repair, and audition recordings) of students and young professional musicians. Another program, Global HeartStrings, is dedicated to supporting aspiring classical musicians from developing countries. In this effort, Barton Pine has been aided by a younger sister, Hannah Barton, also a violinist.

Davis and Tillison − both Oklahoman − were joined at the Record Plant by Bobby Bruce (fiddle), Larry Knechtel (organ and harmonica), Stan Szelest (piano); Billy Rich (bass); Jim Keltner (drums) and Sandy Konikoff (percussion); Don Preston and Joey Cooper were vocal accompanists. Roger Tillison's Album was recorded live. It was finally released on CD by Wounded Bird Records in 2008, with Davis playing electric guitar, bottleneck (slide) guitar and banjo. The Woody Guthrie song "Old Cracked Looking Glass" has become a standard for Oklahoma bands. In 1971, Davis recorded his first solo album after Atco Records signed a contract with him to record two albums with the label.

Urias and Eva Mae Whittington (1917–2009) married in 1934; she became the pianist and alto in their newly formed trio. They moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 1937 and then Atlanta in 1939, where they would remain for the rest of their professional career, aside from a short stint in Philadelphia in the middle of the 1950s. They won slots performing on WGST radio as The LeFevre Trio, but as they added other family members and accompanists, they decided to refer to themselves simply as The LeFevres. Though they had previously recorded transcription discs, their first commercial recordings were made in the 1940s and released on Bibletone Records.

Her output included blues standards, mirror images of current popular tracks ("Soul and Body," in response to Coleman Hawkins's "Body and Soul"), and comedic numbers ("I Ain't Your Hen, Mr. Fly Rooster" and "When the Wind Make Connection with Your Dry Goods"). According to Eagle and LeBlanc, she may be the Martha Copeland who appeared in the musical comedy Woof, Woof in New York in 1929–1930. Her more notable accompanists on various recordings included Rube Bloom, Eddie Heywood, Sr., Lou Hooper, Cliff Jackson, James P. Johnson, and Louis Metcalf (all on piano), Bob Fuller (clarinet), and Bubber Miley (trumpet). Her complete recordings are available on Complete Recorded Works, Vol.

James "follows the technique and style of the old-time accompanists, cueing the music exactly to the action and mood on the screen."New York Times "New Jersey Guide: Chaplin in Westwood." December 13, 1981. In 1998, James began simultaneously serving as House Organist for the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, House Organist for the Paramount Theatre in Seattle and House Organist for the Historic Everett Theatre in Everett, Washington while serving his tour appointments as Theatre Organist for the San Diego Symphony, silent film organist for the Stanford Theatre and the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, expanding his focuses in recent years to encompass many additional positions.

Some of the accompanists wrote songs for Nico to sing, and these form the backbone of Chelsea Girl. Browne and Hardin contributed some songs, "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" by Lou Reed was part of the earliest Velvet Underground repertoire (which did not surface as a Velvet Underground recording until it was included in the 1995 box set Peel Slowly and See), and Reed, Cale and Morrison in various combinations contributed four more songs. Additionally, Bob Dylan gave her one of his songs to record: "I'll Keep It with Mine". Musically, Chelsea Girl can be described as a cross between chamber folk and 1960s pop.

In 1953, Abbott was doing well enough that Fabor Robison was able to buy out the share of his partner, Sid Abbott. In order to diversify the label's offerings, Robison founded the Fabor Records imprint as a subsidiary of Abbott, though at first these records carried the same artist pool—drawn from the Louisiana Hayride—as featured on the parent. These artists included pianist Floyd Cramer, the Browns, Smiley Burnette, Dorsey Burnette and Mitchell Torok, whose "Caribbean" was Abbott's next chart hit in 1953. Many of these recordings featured members of the Louisiana Hayride house band as accompanists and were recorded at KWKH studios in Shreveport.

Julie Christiansen is the organisation's founder and artistic director, beginning Voices of Birralee in 1995 with the philosophy that singing is as natural for a child to do as talking, walking and dancing. Voices of Birralee has a number of conductors for its choirs, including Julie Christiansen OAM (Birralee Singers), Paul Holley OAM (Birralee Blokes & Resonance of Birralee), Jenny Moon (Brisbane Birralee Voices), Peter Ingram (Birralee Recycled), Debbie Daley (Birralee Kids) and Katherine Ruhle (Birralee Piccolos). Accompanists include Justine Favell, Brendan Murtagh, Claire Preston and Kate Littlewood. Choirs cater for children and young adults from 5 - 35, with rehearsals tying in with the Queensland school year.

Accompanists to hymn singing had a tune book, a volume with a collection of tunes, most without words, the exception being the occasional lyric when underlay of words to the music was ambiguous. An example of this was The Bristol Tune Book. As more people became musically literate, it became more common to print the melody, or both melody and harmony in hymnals. Contemporary practice in the U.S. and Canada is to print hymn tunes so that lyrics underlie the music; the more common practice in the UK is to print the hymn tunes on one page, and the hymn text either below, or on facing pages.

DADGAD tuning (listen) :D-A-d-g-a-d' DADGAD was developed by Davey Graham in the early 1960s when he was travelling in Morocco, to more easily play along with Oud music. Among the first to use this tuning were the folk- blues guitarists of the '60s like Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, Martin Carthy, and John Martyn. It was many years later in the 1970s that it became established for accompanists of traditional music, predominantly Scottish and Irish. Due to this popularity it is sometimes referred to as "Celtic" tuning, although this is misleading given its origin and its primary early use in a quite different field of music.

Common version of the motif from Mysterioso Pizzicato Mysterioso Pizzicato, also known as The Villain or The Villain's Theme, is a piece of music whose earliest known publication was in 1914, when it appeared in an early collection of incidental photoplay music aimed at accompanists for silent films. The main motif, with minor variations, has become a well-known and widely used device (or "cliche"),Hand, Richard J. (2013) "Zappa and Horror: Screamin' at the monster" in Paul Carr (ed), Frank Zappa and the And, p.25. Farmham, Ashgate. . incorporated into various other musical works, and the scores of films, TV programmes and video games, as well as unnotated indications in film scripts.

John Lee Hooker recorded the song as "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" in 1966. Hooker transformed Milburn's song "into a vehicle for himself". He used the storyline and chorus (but altered the order), but "edited the verse down to its essentials, filled in the gaps with narrative and dialogue, and set the whole thing to a rocking cross between South Side shuffle and signature boogie". Part of Hooker's narrative included: Hooker's version is notated as a medium tempo blues with an irregular number of bars in 4/4 time in the key of E. It was recorded in Chicago in 1966 with Hooker on vocal and guitar, guitarist Eddie "Guitar" Burns, and an unknown accompanists.

Lavezzoli, pp. 52, 58. Ravi Shankar, pictured in Bombay during the recording of his score for the 1955 film Pather Panchali The Living Arts festival, held in April 1955, marked both the first formal recital of Indian classical music in America, when Khan played at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA),Ken Hunt, "Ustad Ali Akbar Khan: Sarod maestro who played with Ravi Shankar and appeared at the Concert for Bangladesh", The Independent, 25 June 2009 (retrieved 8 December 2013). and the first appearance on US television by Indian classical artists, after Khan and his accompanists, as well as Bharat Natyam dancer Shanta Rao, performed on the arts and sciences show Omnibus.

Within three years, 22,000 theater jobs for musicians who accompanied silent movies were lost, while only a few hundred jobs for musicians performing on soundtracks were created by the new technology. 1928 – While continuing to protest the loss of jobs due to the use of 'canned music' with motion pictures, the AFM set minimum wage scales for Vitaphone, Movietone and phonograph record work. Because synchronizing music with pictures for the movies was particularly difficult, the AFM was able to set high prices for this work." More than just their position as film accompanists was usurped; according to historian Preston J. Hubbard, "During the 1920s live musical performances at first-run theaters became an exceedingly important aspect of the American cinema.

Max Olding has held positions as president of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra Society and deputy chair of the Brisbane Institute of Art. He is patron of the Queensland Piano Tuners and Technicians Guild, and is a Life Member of the Accompanists Guild of Queensland, Inc. Olding is a Churchill Fellow, awarded in 1970 "To investigate new methods and techniques relating to pianoforte teaching and instruction at advanced and tertiary levels - Japan, Russia, Hungary, France, UK, USA". Olding has recorded chamber music including cello and piano works by Australian composer, Dulcie Holland, on the CD, Study in Green: Music of Australian Composers; Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms with violinist, Dene Olding on Great Violin Sonatas; and several pieces with violinist, Dene Olding, on the compilation album, The Essential Violin.

A performer may record a solo album for several reasons. A solo performer working with other members will typically have full creative control of the band, be able to hire and fire accompanists, and get the majority of the proceeds. The performer may be able to produce songs that differ widely from the sound of the band with which the performer has been associated, or that the group as a whole chose not to include in its own albums. Graham Nash of The Hollies described his experience in developing a solo album as follows: "The thing that I go through that results in a solo album is an interesting process of collecting songs that can't be done, for whatever reason, by a lot of people".

Shankar and Harrison's efforts to raise awareness of the refugees' plight ensured that the crisis became a central issue in the West.Raghavan, p. 142. In mid August 1971, Shankar told Melody Maker that Indian music was now more popular than ever before in the West, adding that he, Rakha and their accompanists might perform some of the songs at his upcoming concert at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Following the example set by Shankar and Harrison's topical records, Allen Ginsberg wrote the poem "September on Jessore Road", after visiting the area, and Joan Baez wrote "Song of Bangladesh", released in 1972.Fahmim Ferdous, "When the World Sang for Bangladesh", The Daily Star, 16 December 2015 (retrieved 3 September 2020).

She sang in many European capitals - Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Copenhagen, Christiania (Oslo) - and with old musical Societies at Cologne and Frankfurt, annually in Paris and London, and under Mengelberg at The Hague. Nikisch usually accompanied the first lieder concert at each centre, after which other accompanists took over. Alexander Siloti arranged her first visit to Russia (to Moscow) in 1909, and until the War she sang there and in St Petersburg. Gerhardt made her American debut at the Carnegie Hall in January 1912, with Paula Hegner, and was then in Cincinnati and Philadelphia with Leopold Stokowski (singing the Wesendonck Lieder), and with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Max Fiedler, before finally combining there with Nikisch and the London Symphony Orchestra tour.

Excerpt of the trumpet part of Symphony No. 9 of Antonín Dvořák, where sight transposition is required. Although transpositions are usually written out, musicians are occasionally asked to transpose music "at sight", that is, to read the music in one key while playing in another. Musicians who play transposing instruments sometimes have to do this (for example when encountering an unusual transposition, such as clarinet in C), as well as singers' accompanists, since singers sometimes request a different key than the one printed in the music to better fit their vocal range (although many, but not all, songs are printed in editions for high, medium, and low voice). There are three basic techniques for teaching sight transposition: interval, clef, and numbers.

Charles Santley, who championed "To Anthea" and "Simon the Cellarer" and sang them with Hatton accompanying,Simpson, A Century of Ballads, pp. 124–25. lived long enough to record them both, twice, in the early 20th century, preserving his association with the composer.Santley recorded them first in 1904 for the Gramophone and Typewriter Company (10-inch G & Ts, "To Anthea" 2-2864 and "Simon the Cellarer" 2-2862), see John R. Bennett, Voices of the Past, A Catalogue of Vocal Recordings from the English Catalogues of The Gramophone Company (etc) (Oakwood Press, 1955), p. 50: and afterwards for Columbia Records. Hatton was one of the great accompanists of his time, and during the 1850s he toured with Mario and Grisi,W. Smart, Musical Memories, pp. 309–10.

Multitrack recording (MTR)—also known as multitracking or tracking—is a method of sound recording developed in 1955 that allows for the separate recording of multiple sound sources or of sound sources recorded at different times to create a cohesive whole. Multitracking became possible in the mid-1950s when the idea of simultaneously recording different audio channels to separate discrete "tracks" on the same reel-to- reel tape was developed. A "track" was simply a different channel recorded to its own discrete area on the tape whereby their relative sequence of recorded events would be preserved, and playback would be simultaneous or synchronized. Prior to the development of multitracking, the sound recording process required all of the singers, band instrumentalists, and/or orchestra accompanists to perform at the same time in the same space.

Briarcliff is often recognized at the annual awards ceremony at the Helen Hayes Youth Theatre in Nyack, ceremonies which are held in early June with awards in numerous categories, modeled after the Tony Award. Their 2002 performance of Children of Eden earned ten nominations and three awards, for overall production, actor in a lead role, and director. The school spent $23,000 on the production to pay for royalties, stipends for teachers acting as choreographers, musical directors and rehearsal accompanists, and for external workers to help students improve the production's lighting, sets and sound. For their 2003 production of Footloose, the school's musical director Kathleen Donovan-Warren rented multicolored stage lighting and hired an electric guitarist as one of three professional musicians who played along with the student orchestra.

Cook, Richard and Morton, Brian (2008) The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings. Penguin. As an accompanist to vocalists Holiday, Lincoln, Lee and others, Waldron was described by critic and musician Alyn Shipton as "one of the most sublime accompanists in jazz". Waldron's own assessment of his style was that it was partly a reflection of his personality: "It's part of my personality to be very economical with what I have and to use it in all variations before I move to the next set of notes". He acknowledged the influences of Holiday (on his conception of space and playing behind the beat), Mingus (for the importance of individuality), and Roach (on the value of time signatures other than the usual 4/4), as well as pianists Duke Ellington, Monk, Powell and Art Tatum.

For twelve years, he held the post of official accompanist at the BBC, and was later the BBC producer responsible for the "Artists of the Younger Generation" series. Hamburger taught singers and accompanists at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London, and gave masterclasses and annual seminars in England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Sweden and Finland. His literary works include an edition of Mozart Lieder (Oxford University Press), contributions to books on Mozart songs, Mahler's Wunderhorn songs, Chopin and Britten, and translations, notably of Bruno Walter and Alfred Brendel. He was a Fellow of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, an Honorary Member of the Royal Academy, London, and was awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art in 1991, which was upgraded to 1st class in 2000.

If a contestant wins an age specific division three times, they can no longer compete in that division, but they may play in the next most competitive division the next year (Small Fry and Junior-Junior move up to the next age group, all other ages move up to the Grand Championship). If a fiddler wins the Grand Championship three years, they are asked to sit out a year, and are invited to judge the contest instead of competing. Contestants may perform with up to three accompanists, and no contestant may play the same tune twice. There is a time limit of four minutes for rounds one through three, five minutes for rounds four and five, and no time limit for the final round of the Grand Champion division.

An image of Django Reinhardt, "originator" of gypsy jazz, presides over the Hot Club de Norvège at Djangofestivalen 2018 Original 78 release by the Quintette du Hot Club de France. The origins of gypsy jazz can be traced to the ManoucheDjango's family were from the Manouche gypsy clan of northern France, the French-speaking branch of the Sinti people of Germany and the Netherlands; his father's surname was the German Weiss and his mother was a Reinhardt (another German surname). Also living in the south of France at the time were another gypsy clan or tribe, the Gitans, whose origins were from the Gitano gypsies of Spain. Although Reinhardt's style has acquired the name "Jazz Manouche" in recent times, many of his accompanists, such as the Ferret brothers, were Gitans. For more information see Cruickshank, 1984, pp. 40-41.

The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album four stars, stating "Steve Kuhn has excelled in many settings in a career spanning over five decades, but he is at his best leading a trio. Like many top pianists, Kuhn interacts with his musicians rather than relegating them exclusively to the role of accompanists... Highly recommended!"Dryden, K. Allmusic review accessed December 20, 2013 Writing in The Guardian, John Fordham commented "It's straightish jazz, but in a class of its own".Fordham, J. The Guardian Review, April 27, 2012 In JazzTimes Lloyd Sachs enthused "The Brooklyn-born, Boston-schooled artist certainly has refined his style over the years, striking new balances between his inside and outside concepts. But if he has lost any of his creative edge, that isn’t evident on Wisteria, which even at its most lyrical has a bright and sometimes bursting immediacy".

He also accompanied Eastern European Gypsies in the Russian cabarets. He formed his own quintet in the 1940s, incorporating clarinets on occasion as well as the violin of Georges Effrosse into the "classic" gypsy jazz lineup (Effrosse's tenure with the quintet was short-lived, however, dying in a Nazi concentration camp in 1944); Sarane's original compositions included "Cocktail Swing", "Royal Blue" and "Surprise-Party" as well as recording versions of compositions by Django Reinhardt. Sarane continued to perform through the 1950s and 1960s, though without the recognition of his wartime quintet recordings; at times his bands a variety of accompanists including Jaques "Montagne" Mala, Laro Sollero, René Mailhes and others. Married to Gusti Malha's daughter Poupée, he resided in Paris up to his death in 1970, which was marked by a tribute concert by the gypsies at the Olympia Hall in Paris, issued on record as "La Nuit des Gitans".

They performed in all 48 states, including Havana, Cuba. Sandoval wrote two songs for Gigli to be performed in concert: Vurria and Eres Tú. Eres Tú was recorded on an RCA Victor label, along with Sandoval's arrangement of a tango in D by Albéniz, called Quisiera Olvidar Tus Ojos. The association between Sandoval and Gigli was extremely beneficial for Sandoval, as he began attracting a group of admirers similar to that of Gigli. On January 21, 1931, in Toronto, Ontario, a reviewer wrote: “Mr. Miguel Sandoval’s piano-forte work was just as remarkable as Mr. Gigli’s beautiful songs. There have been few accompanists in Massey Hall who played more exquisitely, with more refined self-forgetfulness, and with more real understanding of the singer’s moods and needs than he did.”Schroeder, Pollyanna, "The America's Magazine," April 1979. Between his tours, Sandoval coached singers at his New York Studio, and in 1927, the New York radio station, WCDA, named him Artistic Director.

Du Bois's Springtime for ten winds and piano (1978) was composed for de Volharding. In 1976, the ensemble ICÉ from Hilversum, led by Will Eisma, with bass-clarinet soloist Harry Sparnaay, took Bois's composition Heliotrope (for a soloist and an optional number of accompanists, 1967) to the Wittinger Tage für neue Kammermusik, where Sparnaay created a sensation (Diederichs-Lafite 1976, 383). Bois created a number of other works especially for Sparnaay: Chemin for solo bass clarinet (1971), Fusion voor deux for bass clarinet and piano, and Iguanodon (1982), for six bass clarinets and three contrabass clarinets (; ; ; ). Many of Bois’s other compositions have also been written for friends and colleagues. For example, his Concerto pour Hrisanide (1968–71) was composed for the Romanian composer, improviser, and piano virtuoso Alexandru Hrisanide. It quotes from Hrisanide’s own compositions, and requires the soloist to play not only piano, but an electronic organ, a toy piano, and a large tom-tom .

After Harper's death in October 2004, Cook made the painful adjustment to new accompanists in solo shows like Tribute (a reference to Harper) and No One Is Alone that continued to receive acclaim; The New York Times wrote in 2005 that she was "at the top of her game.... Cook's voice is remarkably unchanged from 1958, when she won the Tony Award for playing Marian the Librarian in The Music Man. A few high notes aside, it is, eerily, as rich and clear as ever." In January 2006, Cook became the first female pop singer to be presented by the Metropolitan Opera in the company's more than one hundred- year history. She presented a solo concert of Broadway show tunes and classic jazz standards, and was supported on a few numbers by guest singers Audra McDonald and Josh Groban and Elaine Stritch (although Miss Stritch did not appear on the CD of the concert).

In fall 2004, the group was joined by Serbian-born violinist Aleksandar Gajic. Between 2001-2010, Beyond the Pale toured across North America and Europe, including performances at Carnegie Hall, the Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków Poland, and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa."The Once, Beyond the Pale, both win two at Canadian Folk Music Awards". Waterloo Region Record, Nov 21, 2010 During this period the band was involved in many unique and challenging collaborative projects, including: a series of concerts with legendary singer/actor Theodore Bikel; numerous collaborations with Josh "Socalled" Dolgin; two separate stints as guest accompanists with the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir on world premieres of ambitious choral works; guest soloist turns with the Toronto Children's Chorus on a world premiere composition by clarinetist van de Ven; featured soloist performances alongside CBC radio personality Barbara Budd with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Toronto Philharmonia and Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony; self-initiated collaborations with other esteemed world music ensembles, such as Creaking Tree String Quartet and L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio.
