Through this musical journey, you will experience the majesty of noble monuments, grandiose forests, lofty mountains and spacious cathedrals. Beginning with a rousing fanfare by Jack Stamp, the first half of the concert continues with Salfelder’s "Cathedrals," an homage to the brass ensembles for which Gabrieli composed in Italy in the 16th century, to be performed from cathedral balconies. "Cathedral Grove" by Buckley paints a musical landscape of the largest trees in the world, and Boysen’s "Klang" is a depiction of sounds created by building materials from a majestic concert hall. We end the first half with Wagner’s familiar "Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral." The second half of the concert begins with Camphouse’s "La Cathedrale Resiliente," an homage to the rebuilding of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris after the fire of 2019. "The Lincoln Imp," arranged by Grauer, is a fun depiction of the gargoyles that adorn ancient cathedrals, while Colgrass’ "Old Churches" employs unique sounds that resemble distant church bells. We end the concert with Rossano Galante’s "Cathedral Mountain," a depiction of the grandeur and beauty of nature. Join us for an exciting evening of sounds that will evoke the feeling of having visited majestic places around the world.
