As I've mentioned earlier, my brother Joe is a composer. He was recently commissioned by the California Chamber Orchestra to create something related to Perry Mason, the fictional defense attorney created by Erle Stanley Gardner in a series of books, and later made into a popular TV series starring Raymond Burr.
The premiere was November 7, 2009, and Joe's wife Amy caught each of the three movements on her iphone. Don't laugh - the video is so-so but the audio is remarkable for a cellphone capture. In addition to the Chamber Orchestra, the performance featured the other three members of Joe's ensemble SWARMIUS (see the link to the right).
And yes, the violinist in SWARMIUS is freakishly tall.
