[1:00] >> Good evening everyone and welcome to our
[1:03] fall orchestra concert. I am Rosa Glade
[1:05] Arnold, director of orchestras here at
[1:08] Irondale and I'm very excited for this
[1:12] evening. Extra warm welcome to our new
[1:15] ninth graders and their families joining
[1:18] our Irondale community orchestra
[1:20] community as well. Uh, it's a wonderful
[1:23] group to be part of. I'm going to hand
[1:27] this over to Abby who's going to share a
[1:30] little bit about our music for tonight.
[1:36] [applause]
[1:44] RC orchestra will begin with Elgato, a
[1:46] driving Latin inspired rhythmic work
[1:49] with infectious melodies. Next, Allegro
[1:53] from Concerto Groso composed by Baroque
[1:56] composer George Frederick Handel. It is
[1:59] a movement of pure sunshine.
[2:01] We will conclude with a city of steel.
[2:04] Picture superheroes watching over a dark
[2:06] city in this passionate and dramatic
[2:08] piece.

[20:31] >> The first piece for concert orchestra is
[20:33] a staple of string orchestra literature
[20:36] since its successful premiere in Moscow.
[20:38] Chakovsky's serenade for strings was
[20:40] written in the 1880s and we will be
[20:42] playing the fourth movement. The second
[20:45] piece, Incantations by American composer
[20:47] Richard Meyer, is an energetic and
[20:49] rhythmically driving original
[20:51] composition that opens with two solo
[20:53] violins and a solo viola through a
[20:55] haunting lyrical lead.
[21:00] [applause]

[36:44] >> The Phil Harmonic Orchestra will begin
[36:46] with
[36:47] films. She will hang the night stars
[36:50] which was inspired by an Oscar poem
[36:52] called this. Here is a passage from that
[36:55] poem nature. She will hang the night
[36:58] stars so that I may walk abroad in the
[37:01] darkness without stumbling and send word
[37:03] the wind over my footprints so that none
[37:06] may track me to my earth. She will
[37:08] cleanse me in great waters and with bare
[37:10] herbs make me whole. The second piece we
[37:13] performed was impressario overture. It
[37:15] was written by Mozart at the age of 30
[37:18] which was towards the end of his life.
[37:20] Mozart died at the age of 35. Written in
[37:23] 1786, it is the overture from his
[37:25] comedic and light-hearted one opera.

[51:53] Heat.
[52:04] Heat.
[52:23] Okay. Hi, I'm Andrew. Uh, I'm a viola
[52:26] here in chamber and symphony. And
[52:30] if you don't know this, so chamber is a
[52:32] uh it's an audition non-conducted
[52:35] ensemble that meets once a week before
[52:37] school. It's before Wednesday. And as
[52:38] you can see, we're going to have no
[52:40] conductor here. So, it's all led by our
[52:42] concert master and by everybody here.
[52:44] And so, it's a really nice experience to
[52:46] be able to rely on each other and
[52:47] everything and to be able to have this
[52:49] experience. Now, there was a tradition
[52:51] set by a previous senior of telling a
[52:53] joke before every chamber performance.
[52:54] So, I'm going to continue that and we're
[52:57] going to start by uh why was salmon
[53:00] always off?
[53:01] >> Why?
[53:01] >> Why?
[53:02] >> Why?
[53:02] >> Because you can't tune a fish.
[53:07] Tonight [applause]
[53:15] is performing the fourth moment of
[53:17] Benjamin Britain's simple symphony
[53:19] crossing finale finale was composed in
[53:22] 1933 based on music Britain composed
[53:24] between the ages of 9 and 12 really
[53:26] young this playful moment is a nod to
[53:28] the innocent days gone by that was
[53:30] dedicated to his viola teacher nice guy
[53:32] I played viola but hope you enjoy

[61:46] >> All right.
[61:49] Tonight's symphony will begin with Dona,
[61:52] the fourth movement uh of the African
[61:55] suite which was composed by the British
[61:57] composer Cauldridge Taylor for solo
[61:59] piano in 1898. It is a festive overture
[62:02] to the African spirit and the love of
[62:04] the various cultures and countries
[62:06] within the continent filled with
[62:08] swinging rhythms and repeat melodies.
[62:10] Next will be the first movement from
[62:12] American and Armenian composer Alan
[62:15] Havanas. It is rich with long singing
[62:18] melodic melodies that are played by the
[62:21] viola section. It is an emotional piece
[62:24] that conveys peace and inspiration.
[62:28] Lastly, we will be joined by the winds,
[62:30] brass and percussion and harpest form,
[62:35] a tone formed by a tone poem by Camille
[62:39] Sis.
