\n\t\tKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013February 8, 2007–The math isn\u2019t hard \u2013three music ensembles, divided into two concerts, all in one weekend at the 溏心vlog免费B站. The concerts \u2013one performed by the 溏心vlog免费B站 Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, February 24, and the other a \u201cdouble header\u201d featuring the 溏心vlog免费B站 Symphonic Wind Ensemble and the 溏心vlog免费B站 Concert Band on Sunday, February 25 — will present works in a wide variety of musical styles ranging from classical to contemporary.<\/p>\n


\nThe Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ann Danis, will perform Roman Carnival Overture by Berlioz, Symphonic Dance by Grieg, selected movements from Serenade for Strings by Dvorak, and 2 spirituals arranged by Henry T. Burleigh. The orchestra, which dates back to the 1930\u2019s, is one of the largest 溏心vlog免费B站 music ensembles, with both student and community members. Musicians must pass an audition in order to play in the orchestra on a regular basis. The concert is at 8pm.<\/p>\n


\nOn Sunday, Gene Pollart will direct the Symphonic Wind Ensemble at 3pm with a program of contemporary pieces including two works written in the 1940\u2019s: \u201cMarch\u201d from Symphonic Metamorphosis by the great Yale University composer Paul Hindemith, arranged for band at his request by Keith Wilson, and Ballad For Band by Morton Gould, a piece that was ahead of its time in 1946 using polytonality and polyrhythms, but that became a standard by the 1950s. <\/p>\n


\nThe ensemble will also perform Fantasy On A Theme By Samuel Barber by Samuel Barber\/Arranged by Richard Saucedo, and Symphony No. 2 by John Barnes Chance, a gifted composer for wind instruments. Originally written in 1961, this symphony was revised and completed in it present form just before his death in 1972. Pollart calls it \u201ca brilliant and stunning work, based on a simple four-note motif.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nIn the second half of the 3pm Sunday concert, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Concert Band, directed by Brian Cardany, will perform five pieces by modern composers all born between 1938 and 1956. The program will include Cenotaph (Fanfare for Band) by Jack Stamp, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night by Elliot Del Borgo, A Movement for Rosa by Mark Camphouse, The Dragoon Trail by Roger Cichy, and Hymn of St. James by Reber Clark.<\/p>\n


\nA cenotaph is a \u201cstatue or monument to a person not buried there,\u201d for example, the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. According to Cardany, the fanfare by Stamp \u201cconnotes a breathtaking structure such as one of these cenotaphs.\u201d The work by Del Borgo is not a programmatic depiction of the Dylan Thomas poem from which it is titled, but attempts to \u201crecreate the essence of the poem in sound\u201d, he adds. The Camphouse piece is especially apt for Black History Month, for it was inspired by and memorializes Rosa Parks, the tailor\u2019s assistant whose act of personal courage in refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated city bus in Montgomery, Alabama, sparked the Civil Rights movement of the 1950\u2019s. <\/p>\n


\nThe concerts will be held in the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall off Upper College Road on 溏心vlog免费B站’s Kingston campus. Admission is $8 for the general public, $2 for students, with seating on a first-come basis. The box office opens 45 minutes before the concert.
