Autumn Winds opens this masterworks series concert in partnership with the Florida Wind Band. Autumn Winds students explore exciting and challenging repertoire in an 8-week intensive.
The Florida Wind Band begins after the intermission with Ante Grgin’s jazz influenced Concertino for Clarinet and Wind Ensemble featuring principal clarinet, Tony Negron. Following is Carl Orff’s timeless masterpiece Carmina Burana, based on 24 medieval poems, that has become one of the most beloved works in the orchestral repertoire. The music is simple in harmony and range, consistent with 13th century music, with a driving rhythm to which the listener instinctively responds. Arranger John Krance worked directly with Carl Orff on this rendition and has incorporated the vocal melodies into a setting entirely instrumental in structure that you will find equally as passionate and exciting as the original orchestral score.
