The Music Department of Illinois State University Presents THE · CONCERT BAND GEORGE P. FOELLER, Conductor UNION BALLROOM, Eight O'clock p.m. THURSDAY, MAY ELEVENTH NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY-SEVEN PROGRAM CATA AND FUGUE IN D-MINOR JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Written for organ during Bach's Weimar period, this virtuoso work shows the composer's ability to assimilate the continuo-homophony of the Baroque concerto style to his contrapuntal technique. The dissolution of the fugue at its end into fireworks of r.hapsodic passages indicates that the form is basically tripartite, returning to the initial toccata. The transcription for band ha:s been masterfully conceived by Mark H. Hindsley, Director of Bands at the University of Illinois. TZA LUCUMI ERNESTO LECUONA From the suite "Danzas Afro-Cubanas", this engaging work con-tains both rhythmic and melodic appeal. It is one of many compo-sitions by Lecuona in which he has brought Latin-American music to the attention of the world. This arrangement by John Krance has been conceived with a view toward exposing the colors of the wind band most vividly in a composition of merit. It was published in 1966, rE FOR BAND HAROLD POTTENGER 1. Allegro moderato 2. Lento rubato S. Allegro moderato The opening and closing movements of this contemporary suite are very reminiscent of the English school of band composition. In contrast the second movement is not unlike an American "sound" composition, utilizing lush sonorities and gradual dynamic changes. The composer has dedicated the work to the Indiana University Symphonic Wind Ensemble, which was responsible for its premiere performance in 1964. IRALE RANDY DECKWERTH Preceded and concluded by a set of fragments embodying the interval of a perfect fourth, the irregular length phrases of the "Chorale" are presented by various wind color groupings. Occasional punctuations interrupt its smooth flow, and dynamic extremes are utilized. Mr. Deckwerth is a senior in the Department of Music at Illinois State University. A'S PROCESSION TO THE CATHEDRAL - - RICHARD WAGNER In the opera "Lohengrin", Elsa's betrothal to the mystic Knight of the Holy Grail is prefaced by this excerpt. Commencing with but three voices, the work gradually builds to an heroic climax utilizing the full resources of the wind band. The transcription by Lucien Caillet dates from 1938. INTERMISSION .. As the Concert Band is presently in the midst of concertizing at various high schools throughout the state, the thought arose that it might interest a campus audience to present a group of selections used on these trips to feature various sections and mem-bers of the band. The following, then, is in the nature of a "pops" program. LA OREJA DE ORO MARIANO SAN MIGUEL This paso doble was composed in 1939 for a great Agricultural Exposition in Madrid. It was intended for seated throngs in the bull-fight arena, and its moods are as changing, deci'sive and colorful as those of the Spanish people. The trumpet soloist is John Lyon. TAMBOO FRANCISCO CAVEZ A Latin-American composition, this short selection begins hesi-tatingly with a clarinet cadenza, here played by Marilyn Zaruba. Immediately a characteristic rhythm leads into the theme proper, which features the flute section. WOOD UP QUICKSTEP JOHN HOLLOWAY Written in 1835, this piece remained popular well into the 1870's. It Wa'S considered a great show piece for cornet and keyed bugle. The solo parti. are played by Spencer Gore and John Lyon. THE ELEPHANT AND THE FLY H. KLING Typical of the virtuoso display pieces of the early Twentieth Century, this tongue-in-cheek "duo characteristique" features an ele-phantine tuba and a flitting piccolo. Spotlighted are Michael Ruther-ford and Sandra Baile. THE PEANUT VENDOR MOISES SIMONS Long a favorite among the dancing public, this rhumba has been interestingly set for band without losing its inherent sparkle. The percussion section is featured. THE FANTASTICKS HARVEY SCHMIDT This medly of tunes from the longest-running musical in history contains "Try to Remember", "Plant a Radish", "Soon It's Gonna Rain", and "They Were You". Arranged with the objective of cap-turing the ballad style of the., large dance band, the work is basically lyrical. THE MAGIC TRUMPET BERT KAEMPFERT Popularized by the Tijuana Brass, this selection necessarily fea-tures the trumpet and cornet sections in a large band treatment of of the Mexican-flavored current hit.
