DAYTON, Ohio, January 5, 1970 --- The University of Dayton Concert Band will play
the first of four concerts in which they will appear during the winter and spring months.
This program is the fifth annual Winter Concert, in the Boll Theater of the Kennedy
Memorial Union, and is scheduled for Sunday, January 11, at 8:15 p.m. Admission is
free.
Later Band programs will include the President's Concert, the annual Spring
Concert, and a performance on the Chamber of Commerce series at the Dayton Art Insti
tute. Prof. Maurice R. Reichard, chairman of the University Department of Music, is
the conductor.
Variety in both styles of music and historic periods is the feature of the pieces
to be played Sunday, beginning with overtures from three different music eras. The
overture from Haydn's opera, "Orlando Palandrino" represented the classical period.
Nineteenth century Romanticism is heard in Curzon' s overture, "Vanguard", and the
contemporary element shows in the bristling overture from "Music for a Festival", by
the English composer, Gordon Jacob.
Two additional pieces show the style and feeling of the Romantic period. They are
"Surruum Corda", a work originally composed for the organ by Edward Elgar, and "Medita
tion" from Massenet's opera "Thais". The "Meditation" is in the opera score as a
violin solo, and features the flutes in the Concert Band.
Added contemporary music includes a "Suite for Band" by Charles Smith, "~and
Toccata" by Thom Ritter George, and selected music from the current musical show,
"Oliver" •
