The Trine University Wind Ensemble will present its spring concert, titled "That's
Not Baroque," beginning at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 27, in the Ryan Concert Hall of the
T. Furth Center for Performing Arts.
The concert is free and open to the public.
“That’s Not Baroque” features selections and musical titles that evoke the Baroque
period from 1600-1750 but may not actually be Baroque.
“Music from the Baroque era was characterized by grandeur, drama and ornamentation
with titles such as Prelude, Passacaglia and Toccata,” said Brad Jopek, Ph.D., director
of Trine’s music program. “In addition, contemporary musical styles and orchestrations
from the 20th and 21st Centuries will be presented with titles such as Elegy, Meditation
and Finale containing Baroque musical structures such as fugues, ostinatos and chorales.
We also visit Cajun country with ‘Bayou Breakdown’ and will feature performances by
student chamber ensembles.”
The concert will feature:
- “A Festival Prelude” by Alfred Reed
- “Passacaglia” by Anne McGinty
- “Coronation March” from Le Prophet by Giacomo Meyerbeer, arranged by James Ployhar
- “Elegy for Albinoni” by Shelley Hanson
- “Bayou Breakdown” by Brant Karrick
- “Meditation” by Dwayne S. Milburn
- “Finale” from Symphony No. 3 “Organ” by Camille Saint-Saëns, arranged by James Curnow
