The Persichetti featured two marvelous trumpet solos, as well as great forward energy from the entire ensemble. The Wagner was especially poignant, and had obviously received a great deal of attention to intonation. These students brought great sensitivity to all of their repertoire. Saturday evening had us back in Kodak Hall for the All State Wind Ensemble, directed by Ricky Fleming.ĭivertimento for Band – Vincent Persichetti A highlight was having 4 trombonists come to the front to plays Lassus in its entirety from memory.

These students were full of energy, which served this program particularly well. O Magnum Mysterium – Morten Lauridsen, arr. On Saturday morning, I had the pleasure of hearing Christina Helbock and the Brentwood High School Wind Ensemble over at the convention center. It was truly a joy to hear both of these fine ensembles. The Grantham started as a dissonant lullaby before going to a full jazz party and a big hymn, living up to its Cajun inspiration. The Liptak, a world premiere, was sinewy and dissonant, with a lot of great solo playing all around the ensemble. When he got going on both instruments at once, with such grace and control, it was magical. In truth, there was only one musician on stage for me: the mesmerizing woodblock and bass drum player.

The famous Wind Ensemble opened with a riveting Short Ride. The Daugherty is another standard that sparkled in the hall. It felt to me like his Give Us This Day in reverse. The Maslanka, conducted by William Talley, was lyrical even in the fast parts, reflective, and true to his style. The Husa I’d heard many times before, but never this quick. Hearing a couple of America’s finest bands in one of our finest concert halls, their “home field” as it were, was truly a thrill. Through the Brightening Air – David Liptak (world premiere) Short Ride in a Fast Machine – John Adams As usual, I took in plenty of concerts, managing to see 5 different bands.įriday evening, December 1: Eastman School Wind Bands directed by Mark Scatterday I did manage to sneak away for some other important events, like the NYSBDA board meeting and a session with the members of Dallas Brass to talk about their Harmony Bridge program. I was there officially representing Hartwick College in the exhibition hall, where I met many old and new friends. All of the All State Concerts happen here, allowing students from all corners of the state to bask in the full glory of their performance in a world-class hall. This is held every year in Rochester, home of the Riverside Convention Center and, more importantly, the magnificent Kodak Hall at the Eastman School of Music. degree in Music Education from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and a Master of Music degree in Music Education/Performance from West Virginia University.This weekend, for only the second time ever, I attended the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) Winter Conference.
