This concert features works that span the gamut of emotion and tempi from a meditation on words to a passionate tarantella. Baroque and Classical eras are represented in works of Bach and Krommer. Ticheli’s work reflects the vibrant and whimsical character of a specific person. George’s work portrays the wonder of a child’s imagination. Dooley’s composition is inspired by a poem examining the significance of words. The concert closes with Corgliano’s Gazebo Dances, originally composed for piano four-hands, but rewritten by the composer for concert band.
