Butte native son William Cook gives us his ‘Blacktail Creek’ tone poem in our series of new commissioned music. Expanding on our aquatic theme, we add Handel’s ‘Suite of Watermusic’, Ferde Grofé’s wonderful ‘The Mississippi Suite’, and a silent film with the orchestra playing for favorite Buster Keaton in “The Boat”.

The Flow of Music

The Mother Lode Theatre

"The artist's youthful enthusiasm boldly dusts off the austere image of this monumental instrument." (Resmusica)

Dating back to 1924, the silent film "The Navigator" was Buster Keaton's biggest success. Packed with hilarious gags and absurd situations, the film tells the adventures of a wacky couple - Rollo, played by Keaton himself, and Betsy - who find themselves alone and adrift on a ship in the Pacific, far from their servants. Thomas Ospital, Professor of Organ at the Paris Conservatoire and titular organist of the Church of Saint-Eustache in Paris, puts all his improvisational talent into this masterpiece of silent cinema.
