BLAST (1992) for orchestra (original version) by Michael Schelle published on 2013-12-11T02:08:16Z BLAST (1992) for orchestra (original version) - by Michael Schelle Commissioned for the 75th anniversary season of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. They all wanted an exciting celebratory piece, but with one stipulation (and I quote) "we know your music, Mike, it's very wild and crazy. We only ask that you please put some kind of nice melody in there somewhere ...". So, the big 'tune' begins @ 4:00 ... The South Bend Symphony Orchestra Tsung Yeh, music director and conductor March 1993 . An alternative version of BLAST (exact same piece, but without the damn tune), first performed by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, also exists, and can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/rimsky-1/blast-w-o-tune .
