Rumbling of the pipes

One of my loves in this world is the pipe organ. I love to hear them and feel their vibrations in the air. I have been waiting for this concert all season. Flagstaff Symphony orchestra played the Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani in G minor by Francis Poulenc. While I am not normally a fan of dissonant chords, it was just nice to hear the organ. I wish they would play it more often.

The concert was rounded out by Serenade for Winds in E Flat Major, Op. 7 by Richard Strauss and Symphony #2 in D Major, Op. 73 by Johannes Brahms. The Brahms symphony is the favorite of one of my friends. He said he loved it. Brahms has this weird effect on me...99% of the time, I fall asleep. This time I didn't but the lady next to me snored. :-)
