Specifically, I would recommend the Debussy quartet.

Now, what is this about Wikipedia, and under what should
I look?

OK I will bite -
String quartets are nice - but there has to be some
baroque.


So in my books - for gliding musinc - No Euphonium
means maximum score can't
exceed 70%... (look on wikipedia if you have to)

Unless it is a string quartet, it is too trashy to
accompany a glider in flight!


Now, there's a troll for you.

RAS group,

flight and DVD, I am very
happy with my purchase.


I am trying to figure out who did the music at is
used
at the end of
the flight during the
landing. Any help would be apreciated.

Impressionistic is TOO ...well..dreamy (Debussy). Not sure about
quartets, either. Wagner, Mahler, or Holst would do much
better.........after all, I too am a professional musician. Funny how
the right brained are drawn to the sport.

As for a Euphonium (or baritone as my students are inclined to call
the instrument), depends on the style. I can just imagine ol/ Phillip
Wills racing off to the sounds of an English brass factory band.
