<description><![CDATA[The Middle Horn Leader, as a publication, was born in March of 1992. Initially, its purpose was to keep the mellophone section members of the Bluegrass Brass Senior Corps of Lexington, Kentucky informed of corps events. However, word of the publication devoted to mid-voice soon spread and issues of the newsletter were distributed throughout the U.S. and the United Kingdom. As in the beginning, the purpose of this publication is to celebrate the development and usage of mid-voice instrumentation (e.g., mellophones, mellophoniums, mellophone bugles, French horns, French horn bugles, flugelhorns, flugelhorn bugles, and those oft misunderstood alto bugles).]]></description>

He also arranged for numerous bands including the Stan Kenton Orchestra and his own New York Sound Stage One Orchestra. However, Ray is probably still best revered for his talents as a mellophonium soloist. In this program we'll explore Ray's mellophonium performances with the Stan Kenton and Johnny Richards Orchestras and his own New York Sound Stage One Orchestra. We'll also hear parts of an interview made with Ray's widow, Jo Lea, recorded in 1993. You can learn more about Ray Starling at our web site: www.middlehornleader.com. Click the articles link and you&rsquo;ll see the full interview with Jo Lea Starling. Ray is also featured in a comprehensive article on the Stan Kenton Orchestra and a Tony Scodwell Interview, also accessible from the articles page.
