Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheeba
One of my favorite classical pieces, this song brings back so many memories. We played it at state championships for one of our selections. It was odd as it was a chamber adaptation not full orchestra and man was it hard to get the oboes to play with us. But, we did. Sadly, we did not win for this one.
But, it sure was a kick in the butt to play. I could play all violin parts and my girlfriend at the time did the viola with our quintet. Ah the good old days.
