I was recently in a trio involving mandolin, guitar, and carillon. I wonder whether this is a first. I know that guitar and carillon have performed together before, but not aware of mandolin and carillon together. If you know of others who have been involved in any mandolin and carillon collaborations, please let me know.
Below are three pieces that we performed together. The challenge was balance, as we performed in a bell tower and the instruments were miced and the mix was fed into a church sanctuary 4 stories below. There are spots where the mando is too loud.
We will be performing a full concert with this trio at Longwood Gardens (outside of Philly) this fall.
Any recommendations for repertoire that you have would be appreciated. As you can tell by the repertoire below, we are open to doing an eclectic mix.
