MSJ Saxophone Quartet - Allegro de Concert - Jean-Baptiste Singelee

Our first recorded performance!

MSJ Saxophone Quartet consists of: Khanh N——n, soprano sax, Daniel Y—g, alto sax, Stanley C—-g, tenor sax, and Anthony Prickett (me) on baritone sax.

Jesus (women):
My God, my God
Why hast thou forsaken me?

Voice from Heaven (Men):
Thou art
My beloved son,
In whom
I am well pleased.
(Mark 1:11)

Jeremiah (Solo):
Is it nothing to you,
all ye who pass by?
Behold,
and see
if there be any sorrow like unto
my sorrow.
(Lamentations 1:12)

(Chorus and Solo)

(Aramaic)

May His Great name Grow Exalted and Sanctified
Amen
May His Great Name Be Blessed Forever and Ever.
Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled,
mighty, upraised, and lauded be the
Name of the Holy One,
Blessed is He
Beyond any blessing and song, praise and consolation
that are uttered in the world,
And say Amen.

La Pasión según San Marcos, Osvaldo Golijov

Watching Hamlet w/ David Tenant and Patrick Stewart

Watching Hamlet w/ David Tenant and Patrick Stewart

Just finished Hamlet

When I read “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead…” and the succeeding line, I burst out laughing. Best play ever.

Northwestern audition.

Northwestern audition.

The last hurrah

That’s it. I just participated in my first and last NCBDA High School honor band. I was placed second chair, just behind one of my best friends, and had the kind of intimate, constructive musical relationship rare nowadays amid irony and awkwardness.

But it really is the last hurrah for my time at MSJ: Never again will I play in a truly outstanding group with the kids I’ve grown to maturity with. Never again will I sit on my nametag, or have my phone go off during rehearsal, and have my best friends around to laugh it off with. Never again will a “Monopoly” box be my seat cushion in the middle of a Krispy Kreme. Never again will I help a particular friend get over his break-up with wrestling.

College?
