Rochester, MI, April 20, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Join the Rochester Symphony Orchestra (RSO) on Friday, May 12, 2023, at 8:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 620 Romeo Road, Rochester, Michigan for a tribute to five extraordinary American performers conducted by music director and conductor Maestro Zeljko Milicevic. In addition, there will also be a performance by Shaun Lee, winner of the 2023 Young Artist Competition.
What: Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, an American classical piece written for brass and percussion, is powerful in its simplicity and “simplicity” does not mean boring. This generally short yet instantly recognizable piece is one of Copland’s most well-known works. It was written in response to the US entry into World War II and was inspired in part by a famous speech where Vice President Henry A. Wallace proclaimed the dawning of the “Century of the Common Man.”
Over his six-decade career, William Grant Still, known as the “Dean of African American Composers” worked as a performer, arranger, orchestrator, conductor, and composer. Symphony No. 1 in A flat Major “Afro-American” is a 1930 composition, the first symphony composed by an African American and performed for a United States audience by a leading orchestra. It combines a symphonic form with blues progressions and rhythms that were characteristic of popular African American music at the time. This combination expressed Still’s integration of black culture into the classical forms.
Composer Joan Tower’s Sixth Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman was inspired originally by Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man. There are six amazing parts to the Fanfares. Part I II, III and V are scored for brass, Parts IV and VI for full orchestra. Part I was composed in 1987, Part VI (which will be performed at the concert) was composed in 2016, twenty-nine years later for a full orchestra. The fanfares are a tribute to “women who take risks and are adventurous”, with each dedicated to an inspiring woman in music.
Duke Ellington/Arr. By Custer is a great medley of Duke Ellington tunes. Four of the Duke’s best are featured in this truly brilliant arrangement, Don’t Get Around Anymore; Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me; Sophisticated Lady; and It Don’t Mean A Thing If You Ain’t Got That Swing. Everyone gets an important part – solos are passed around the orchestra and everyone swings! And the finale is a showstopper!
The musical West Side Story was composed principally from 1955-1957, and Leonard Bernstein assembled a portion of the score into the Symphonic Dances in 1961. West Side Story stands as an essential, influential chapter in the history of American theater, and its engrossing tale of young love against a background of spectacularly choreographed gang warfare has found a place at the core of American common culture. Bernstein speculated much earlier that a genuine, indigenous form of American musical theater would eventually arise out of what has been known as musical comedy. Many people think that, in West Side Story, this theory began to be implemented. Elements from the European and American musical stage traditions were fused into an original art form that is neither opera nor musical comedy. Everyone will recognize the familiar themes: Scherzo, Mambo; Cha-Cha and Fugue.
