When my father died in July 1981 during a conference in Manchester, England , Fred spent several hours with me before my plane left the next day. He became my new father that evening.
His ending statement about making music with who is in front of you was inspirational.
First met Fennell in 1965. He was with a man that became my composition teach for a short time - J. Clifton Williams - I was in the Texas All State band and I was amazed! shortly before Fennell died, my wife did an interview with him in Chicago (Midwest). It remains on tape and never released... but it was wonderful.... as was Fennell.
I worked as Mr. Fennell’s aid-de-camp in 1974. He was an absolute gentleman, quite a fine musician and beyond worthy of all of his accolades. Such a brilliant and kind human-being.
F.F. was a wonderful guy! being a student at Interlochen I had a chance to interact with him on many occasions. He was our conductor for orchestra tour in the spring of 1975. Two weeks with Fred running around the state of Michigan! what a trip! He even played drums at polka night on Tuesdays at the National Music Camp. He even came down to the local bar and played shuffleboard with us. In the 1930s when John Philip Sousa came to Interlochen F.F. played the bass drum. His wife scattered his ashes around the trees in the woods there. This is what will happen to my mortal remains when the time comes. Our Resident conductor the immortal and amazing Byron Hanson played in the Eastman wind ensemble under F.F. and is mentioned by name in the liner notes of the "Screamers" album. Wonderful memories to be sure.
Had the opportunity of playing under Dr. Fennell when I was a freshman in college in the early 80's. I cherish that memory.
I was a student of Dr. Fennell in the 60s. I just found this video (and others like it) and wow, what a blast from the past!
I met Dr. Fennell on several occasions and dated his lovely daughter, Cathy. I missed so many opportunities, but I was young and unschooled.
My all time favourite conductor of wind and concert bands.
Oh my. In tears. He meant...MEANS...so much to me.
What a wonderful close-up view of Fennell! More!
I would have to say that we (the buying public) would like "A Life of Joyful Discovery" part two! I saw previously unused footage in "Slammissimo". Bravo to you! I have collected all, but two, of his writings. Someday I will put them together in some sort of anthology...He was the reason I became a musician.
ありがとうマエストロ❤️💐Thank you, Maestro for everything💐❤️🙏
