Faculty preview sampler sweet taste of things to come
By Micki Haller
Senior Editor
In so many samplers, the choco
late-covered cherries are mixed in
with the orange-molasses nougat.
But the Faculty Recital Series
Preview Sampler dished up top-qual
ity performances at Kimball Recital
Hall Thursday last night.
A quick-moving program, the
sampler only gave the audience a
fleeting taste of the rest of the season.
The program started with the Uni
versity Singers, under the direction of
James Hejduk. The group sang two
selections from “Eleven from the
Japanese,” composed by faculty
member Randall Snyder. This was the
world premiere of the piece.
Randall’s music is very beautiful,
filled with many layers of rich harmo
i
nies. He lakes traditional Japanese
pieces and makes the music very
modem.
The University Singers are no
slouches either. Hcjduk has excellent
control over his group, and they are all
fine singers.
The faculty composers’ recital
will be Nov. 17 at Kimball.
Hejduk accompanied Robert
Fought on the saxophone in Henry
Eccles “Sonata.”
The sonata, originally written for
string instruments, brought out a
beauty rarely glimpsed at in saxo
phone sound.
Fought’s recital will be Jan. 26 at the
Sheldon Art Gallery.
John Bailey and Audun Ravnan
played Aaron Copland’s “Duo for
Flute and Piano.” Rippling move
ments in the music nicely comple
mented Bailey’s flute and Ravnan’s
piano techniques.
Bailey’s recital is Oct. 13 in Kim
ball Hall.
Albert Rometo performed a move
ment from J.S. Bach’s “Sonata for
Violin Solo” on the vibraphone. The
vibraphone is an eerie combination of
an electric xylophone and chimes, but
Rometo played a very elegant solo.
The Bach piece will not be in
Rometo’s recital. Rometo and
George Ritchie, organist, will per
form April 13 in Kimball with an
extended selection of percussion in
struments.
Donna Harler, center of the next
faculty recitai, sang Schubert’s
“Seligkeit” and Handel’s “Let the
Bright Seraphim.” The soprano’s
recital is Sept. 29 in Kimball.
Ravnan then returned for a piano
solo. Ravnan played two movements
from Beethoven’s “Sonata in E Major
(Opus 109)” with great emotion.
Ravnan’s recital at Kimball Dec. 1
promises to be very exciting.
