If everyone has sheet music and all the timing information down, then what’s the composer’s role?
In: 952
Side Note:
An 1812 Overture was played at a baseball stadium…..with REAL artillery (blanks) used for the cannon.
They had National Guard working the many individual artillery pieces and a true musician standing behind each Guard. The musician would slap the back of the Guard when it was time for his cannon (voice commands not reliable here).
COOL EFFECT full orchestra and real cannon. But it would have been impossible without the musician watching the conductor to know when it was time to slap the man on his cannon. The musician knew when his guy was coming up and the exact instance it was needed.
The crowd would be able to tell if one cannon was off just a bit in timing.
