HSU Wind Ensemble
Please join the Humboldt State University Department of Music and conductor Paul Cummings for a great evening of instrumental music featuring the HSU Wind Ensemble and special guest artists Daniela Mineva and Wind Energy, a local all-star quintet joined for this performance by the renowned pianist, on Friday, May 3rd at 8:00 p.m. in Fulkerson Recital Hall. The Wind Ensemble will perform the world premiere of a brief, exciting composition called “Comet,” a new work by the North Coast’s resident composer Michael Kibbe. Also on the program is a classic work for band using themes from the most famous of all Korean folk songs called aptly “Variations on a Korean Folk Song” by John Barnes Chance. This work will showcase the ensemble’s talented percussion section. “Old Home Days” by Charles Ives is a band adaptation of two Ives songs for voice and piano that reveal quite a different, sentimental side of the composer. Clifton William’s “Symphonic Dance No. 3,” with its “Fiesta” theme, is a perfect prelude to Cinco de Mayo. “First Suite in Eb for Military Band” by Gustav Holst was composed in 1909 and remains a staple of band programs around the world. Made famous by the all-male choir Chanticleer, Franz Biebl’s beloved setting of “Ave Maria” is presented in an arrangement for band instruments, but don’t be surprised if they do some singing as well. And because no concert is complete without Argentine cowboy music, the ensemble will close with “Danza Final,” from Estancia by Alberto Ginastera. Wind Energy is comprised of Jill Petricca on flute, Michael Kibbe on oboe, Paul Cummings on clarinet, Aaron Lopez on bassoon, and Anwyn Halliday on horn. They are joined in this performance by pianist Daniela Mineva for two superb works of chamber music. Sextour (Sextet) by Francis Poulenc is one of the composer’s greatest chamber works, and a true partnership between the piano and winds. Pink Flamingoes is a tango with a full measure of steamy passion composed by our Trinidad-based composer Michael Kibbe. The Wind Ensemble is delighted to share the evening’s program with these fine artists, teachers, and mentors. $10 General, $5 Child, $5 HSU students with ID.
