*** INTERMISSION ***
A little bit south of the
border, an alien encounter, and a polka featuring a bassoon?
Yes, that’s what the Nevada
County Concert Band has on its program for its “Spring into Summer” concert
on Sunday May 2, at 3:00pm at the First Baptist Church in Grass Valley.
This family-friendly concert
will sure to get your toes tapping and your belly laughing. “The South American rhythms from
Mexico, Peru, and the Caribbean are catchy, and stick with you for a long
time,” says conductor Cheryl Woldseth.
“And we’re having a great time with Roswell 1947, in which the band
gets to make strange and unusual effects with singing handbells, a gong
dipped into water, a cymbal played on top of a timpani drum, and more.”
And then there’s the bassoon
VERSUS band number. Band member
Bruce Piner arranged this number himself (with Woldseth’s help), and he had
so many ideas to feature the bassoon that he wound up calling the piece “The
Divergent Polka.” Based on “The
Beer Barrel Polka,” he also deviates to other popular tunes, ending with a
challenge to various other instrument players to go higher, lower, and
fancier than he can.
Rounding out the program are
selections from Stravinsky’s “The Firebird Suite” (a phoenix bird as in the
Harry Potter books), a medley from the Broadway show “The Music Man,” the
folk song “Londonderry Air” by the clarinet quintet, and “When You Wish Upon
a Star” from the Disney movie “Pinocchio.”
This concert is free (donations
accepted), and refreshments will be served at intermission.
