Event Description

Program:
Thunder and Blazes (Entry of the Gladiators) by Julius Fučík arr. Louis-Philippe Laurendeau

Hill Song No. 2 by Percy Grainger

Adagio for Wind Instruments by Joaquín Rodrigo
First Suite in E-flat for Military Band, Op. 28, No. 1 by Gustav Holst

The Carnegie Mellon Wind Ensemble is designed to have a single performer on each instrumental part, emulating the orchestral wind section. This helps musicians develop an orchestral tone color, maximizes personal responsibility, and encourages a chamber music style of playing even in a large ensemble setting.
