Symphonic Wind Ensemble: Voices in our Head
The Penn State Symphonic Wind Ensemble begins the semester with "Voices in our Head," featuring an integration of voices - instrumental, sung, and spoken. Each piece will be introduced by poetry or prose that serve to quell or amplify the voices in our heads during times of grief, loss, contentment, and unbridled joy. The program opens with Frank Ticheli's "Angels in the Architecture," which delves into the contrast of light and dark. Ticheli combines three songs of religious origin to signify the human idea that good can conquer evil. The next work is dedicated to the lives lost in the 2018 tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
