Lowell Shaw's Frippery No. 15

In this next episode in our “While We Wait” online series, we are thrilled to present the horn players of the IVSO as they perform Lowell Shaw’s toe-tapping Frippery No. 15 with permission from publisher Hornists’ Nest.

Many melodic snippets in this short piece may sound familiar to the American ear. How many can you pick out?

Players include Principal Horn Philip Lancaster, Assistant Pastor at El Vista Baptist Church in Peoria, Illinois; David Snyder, Professor of Music Education at Illinois State University; Christine Hansen, Lead Academic Advisor and Assistant to the Director for the Illinois State University School of Music; and Emily Maze, Artist for Westclox Studios and soon-to-be sea kayak guide for Wilderness Inquiry.
