Impressions to showcase MHS bands

Impressions, featuring the Middleton High School Bands in Concert, will take place next week. Wednesday, Dec. 12 will be the night of the Concert Band & Wind Ensemble. Thursday, Dec. 13 will be the Cardinal Band & Wind Ensemble . Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Middleton Performing Arts Center What musical impression is a composer hoping to communicate to an audience through their music? How does a performer share and participate in this communication? This is part of what the MHS bands are studying this year. Several pieces will depict impressions of places. The Concert Band will perform John Barnes Chances Variations on a Korean Folksong. The Cardinal Band will present Mandjiani, an African rhythmic piece, and the Wind Ensemble will take the audience on visits to Japan with Impression of Japan by James Barnes. A trip to Norway is in the works with Hanssons Valdres March and to Russia with Tchaikovskys Marche Slav. A highlight of Thursdays concert will be Samuel Hazos Blue and Green Music. This piece is a musical impression of the Georgia OKeefe painting of the same name. The painting is OKeefes impression of what music would look like and Hazos piece is an impression of what OKeefes painting would sound like. This work will be conducted by the newest member of the MHS music faculty, Michael Ver Voort. Both performances are free and open to the public.
