When I saw "Gabriel's Oboe" on the list for this week's Pops Concert, I was excited to play the beautiful melody that was made famous by the movie "The Mission". Imagine my surprise to receive a "Tacet" (i.e. "don't play") sheet in my folder for that piece. Gabriel's Oboe without an oboe part? Seriously?
When we got to that piece in rehearsal, I was really curious to hear who was going to play that melody. I should have known....it's a trumpet solo. Doc Severinsen gets to play it. Figures. Ah, well, it's his show.
I think the "Tacet" sheet might be suitable for framing, though.

Lame. Maybe you can get Doc to autograph it, then it really will be cool to frame.
Oh my goodness, that's hilarious. A classic!
