Hey all, on behalf of the Mus'Art Wind Orchestra, I would like to promote the upcoming concert that we will be presenting! Coincidentally, I forgot the title of the concert... oops... But I remember the repertoire! So here it is:

1st Half
Alvamar Oveture
An English Sea Song Suite
To The Summit!
Imperatrix
The Golden Circle
Ross Roy

2nd Half
Space Battleship Yamato
Danceries
West Side Story
Little Mermaid Medley

During the 1st half, we'll present the SYF choice pieces for a few secondary school bands in our area, and the key players of the band will be playing amongst us! Much like a comworks thingy. The 2nd half will be purely our own repertoire, and I guarantee you the 2nd half pieces are all nice :D

Concert is on 3rd Febuary, 7:30pm at the Victoria Concert Hall. Circle seat tickets are available (only circle because the kids have all the stall seat tickets) through me, $12 each. Please come! See some of the school kids in action! Haha.

Have fun and see you guys at band :D

Poema Alpestre (Singapore Premiere):
For someone like Franco Cesarini, born in a land of which every horizon is dominated by the majestic Alps, mountains are in one's heart and soul throughout every moment of life. Therefore, the question as to why Cesarini chose to write a piece dedicated to mountains can have a thousand answers or none.Cesarini creates a world of sound that depicts a real world he has known first hand.This 20-minute creation transports the listener (and performer!) to a land of alpine beauty and terrific natural forces. The fog and mist give way to grandeur and vistas beyond compare that contain grazing cattle (listen for their passage indicated by large cow-bells), birds and other wildlife, and the fury of high-altitude blizzards. The snowstorm subsides into a divine state where the 'mountain-top experience' is revealed as the spirit soars to new heights. The true spirit of mountains is described in the words of Alan Hovhaness: "Mountains are symbolic meeting places between the material and the spiritual world." It is a sentiment with which the composer fully agrees, which also helps explain the titles of succeeding episodes of the composition. These alternate moments of reality, of matter, with those of the ethereal, the spirit. Certain subtitles also refer to Thomas Mann's classic novel, "The Magic Mountain".As in the book, the triumvirate of illness-love-death becomes the key to trying to understand the mystery of life.Another factor that compelled Cesarini to write this piece is the 50th anniversary of the death of Richard Strauss (1864-1949). For Cesarini, "Poema Alpestre" is a modest tribute to his memory. by Franco Cesarini
