Abstract
This is a curious find. It is a portfolio of orchestral music for four Aesopic fables: TH, BW, DS, and The Wolf and His Shadow. The texts are from Margaret Clark's 1990 volume The Best of Aesop's Fables. An early sheet provides the texts for the narrator. Then come scads of sheets for every sort of instrument! The first page in the whole ensemble lists these. I count thirty-one instruments besides the conductor and narrator. If there was an Aesop, would he have expected to show up in this venue? Some instruments have multiple texts because there should be several performers playing those instruments. Thus both Picoolo/1st Flute and 2nd Flute have five copies apiece. The whole ensemble would include, by my count, some seventy-five performers. Alfred Publishing is apparently a -- or even the -- major publisher of musical scores in the USA. By the way, how did I get this from a group called Big Edge Sports?
