The Wind Ensemble celebrates the first week of spring with a program inspired by the Earth and the stars. D’un Matin De Printemps (“Of a Spring Morning”) was composed by Lili Boulanger, sister of the acclaimed composition teacher Nadia Boulanger. USC School of Music faculty Jennifer Parker-Harley and Claire Bryant are featured on David Maslanka’s reflective and stunningly beautiful O Earth O Stars, while Danyhew’s Magnolia Star elicits images of a mid-twentieth-century ride on a train of the same name. The concert concludes with a brand-new work by University of Michigan composition professor Erik Santos inspired the concept of “Pangea Proxima,” a future supercontinent configuration of Earth’s land masses.
Program:
Boulanger/Hontz, D’un Matin De Printemps
Maslanka, O Earth O Stars
Danyhew, Magnolia Star
Santos, Pangea Proxima (Consortium Premiere)
Free and open to the public. Livestream available at the USC School of Music YouTube channel.
