The UWF Symphonic Band: 20th Century Celebrations

The UWF Symphonic Band: 20th Century Celebrations

Under the direction of Dr. Sean Kelley, the UWF Symphonic Band will present "A 20th Century Celebration" featuring wind band masterworks written between 1900 and 2000. The program includes the energetic and effervescent set of variations on Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" entitled "Fantasia in G" by Timothy Mahr; Frank Ticheli's quirky and pointillistic tone poem, "Postcard to Meadville, PA"; Howard Hansen's mid-century "Chorale and Alleluia" mixing classicism of form with modernity in harmonic language; and, Ron Nelson's "Courtly Airs and Dances" a charming, fresh take on Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque styles and forms. Closing the concert will be selections from Percy Grainger's magnum opus, "Lincolnshire Posy," which celebrates the history and cultural importance of Britain's cherished folk song tradition.
