Use this thread to list the band/orchestra pieces that require a mute. If other than a straight mute, please specify the type!
I'll add to this list as we get more entries. When a category gets really long, I'll spilt it out to its own thread.
BAND
- Doss, Thomas: Spiriti
- Ellerby, Martin: Paris Sketches
- Houben, Kevin: Lake of the Moon (one passage with a straight mute and 2 or 3 with cup mute)
- Hunsberger, Donald: "Star Wars Trilogy" - brief straight mute section at the end of movement IV (Yoda's theme), during the transition into the final movement.
- Maslanka, David: Symphony Number 4
