Wind Symphony

Becky Auten Professor Hammer Music Lecture 1003 14 October 1999 Wind Symphony W.Dale Warren, Conductor The Wind Symphony preformed on Monday, October 11 at 8:00 p.m. at the Walton Arts Center in Baum-Walker Hall. The performance lasted one hour and thirty minuets and consisted of six pieces. The first piece was Variations for Wind Band by Ralph Vaughn Williams. All the instruments tuned to the oboe then they started the English piece. The Bass and symbols came in …

…song was too long, but I still liked it. The sixth piece was Vesuvius by Frank Ticheli. This American piece featured an oboe and French horn solo. Lots of a triangle was used as well. Towards the middle there was a violent volcano sound and then a loud bang at the end. I did not like this piece as well as the others because it seemed evil with the explosive rhythms and loud bass sounds.
