 The Michael Nyman Band (UK) :: Culture Picks :: Moscow's virtual community for English speaking expats and Russians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This imaginary 18th century Venetian street band uniquely combined Renaissance and folk instruments, such as rebecs and shawms, with modern instruments like banjo and saxophones, to produce as rough and loud a sound without resorting to amplification.
This group formed the basis of the Campiello Band, a concert group which began life in the foyer of the National Theatre in 1977 with arrangements of Verdi, Satie, Gottschalk and Weill alongside new compositions — such as and How to Measure a Song — which marked the emergence of Nyman’s signature style.
When the early music instruments were replaced and supplemented with modern equivalents, the amplified Michael Nyman Band saw the light of day, with its now-familiar line-up of string quartet, saxophone trio, trumpet, horn and trombone, electric guitar and piano, from which the composer directs.
