Bass Duets - Peter Kowald

Advantages: It's Peter Gabriel
Disadvantages: None come to mind

...Jackson the trumpeter he’d seen backing Otis Redding in 1967 at the Ram jam club in Brixton, the experience had made him want to be a soul singer. For the chorus for the track “In your Eyes”, he called in the Senegalese singer Youssou N’Dour who was to play such a key role in the music of Peter Gabriel for years to come. Then in a stoke of genius he gave Kate Bush the chance to deliver one of the most memorable vocal performances of her life, for when Kate duetted on the song “Don’t Give Up” the lyrics are on the edge of cornball cliché, but the way Kate sang it came across as believable. Gabriel wrote the song in response to a famous photograph from the American Depression called “This Proud Land” which reflected his feelings about unemployment in Britain, Gabriel recalls that Kate sung...

Advantages: Useful for helping to teach yung children about musical instruments
Disadvantages: The story is a little bit grown up for some of the younger audiences.

Peter and the Wolf is a story about how a child disobeys his gandfathers advice, and has a rather scary encounter with a wolf. He is saved by some huntsmen and the story ends happily. Each of the characters has its own representative instrument from the orchestra. Peter, a young boy is represented by the strings, who have lots of tunes with excellent harmonies. Peter's grandfather, whom Peter ignores, is played by the bassoons, a personal favourite of mine as i myself play one. I think that the bassoon has been chosen to play the grand father because it has a sense of age, and, being a bass instrument, has a sense of authority and towards the end sternness for the disobedience of Peter. Throughout the tale there are animals. The cat is played by the clarinets... Read review
