Mais Laisserons Nous Mourir Arianna?

Description: Recording of Francis Dhomont's Mais Laisserons Nous Mourir Arianna? performed by soprano, Marthe Forget.

The Serpent Snapping Eye

Each class in turn is based on a particular aspect of trumpet sonority, both as it appears to the ear and as it is revealed by spectral analysis. The Stanford Digital Synthesizer allowed the use of multiple complex freque… more

She hopes that we have succeeded ..."
