WGUC
I have heard many different types of aerophones in the hour of listening to WGUC radio station. The first song was "Fantastic Toy Shop" by Ottorino Respighi. The conductor was Neville Marriner. The piece was played by an orchestra, and the areophones were flutes, clarinets, oboes, trumpet and I think a tuba and a french horn. The woodwind instruments had the melody while the trumpets, tubas and other brass instruments had the accompaniment. The second song was "Toward a New Life" by Josef Suk. The conductor was John Williams. The piece was also played by an orchestra, and the areophones were flutes, clarinets, oboes, trumpet,tuba and a french horn. There were a lot of brass instruments in this piece. Unlike the other piece the horns played the melody while the woodwinds had the accompaniment. The next piece was "Concerto for 2 Mandolins" by Antonio Vivaldi. The conductor was Trevor Pinnock and soloist were James Tyler. By the title name I did not think there was going to be any areophones, but I was wrong. There were flutes and clarinets that played with the violins. Unlike the other two songs, the areophones were the focus of the song. The last song I listened to was "Concert Rondo "Krakowiak"" by Frederic Chopin and conducted by Kazimierz Kord. The areophones in this piece was clarinets, flutes, oboe and a french horn. The clarinet had some melody solos and so did the flute. The main instrument in this song is the piano, which is not an areophone.
