But it's supposed to be coming from a shepherd's melancholy piping, onstage, so it's possible that more of a folk instrument would contribute an appropriate color, too. <br /><br />See Culshaw's "Ring Resounding" for a little story about the alpine steerhorns used (in the 1960s Decca recording of the "Ring") for some of the offstage horn calls.

Is it still employed in current productions?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040012882428579133noreply@blogger.com
