Hi Dave.....
Good to see you also......
I think your points are right on the money. Although Erik Leidzen did use
sfp a fair amount, I always thought that was more of a trademark of Emil
Soderstrom.
Leidzen's use of low brass... open 5ths.... melodies in tubas etc. were all
innovative at the time... I feel the same way about Vinter. Those two guys
could get more sound out of a band....
I totally agree about Leidzen writing for "pro" sounds. There were a lot of
bands that couldn't handle his music just for the reasons you give.... but
Leidzen in the hands of a good conductor and a solid band ...was pure
heaven......
Leidzen was also a master at writing solo accompaniments as I'm sure you
will agree. Of course the solo writing was great too... That's a special
talent.....
"immense colour and interest to the music" that's where it's at.
Thanks for adding to the discussion.....
Best regards and Happy Holidays to you as well.
