Augsburg College Band Scores
In Concert Appearance Here Wednesday
Iiy Sig Digree
Musically speaking, the past and
the future in Kodiak will be desig
nated BACB and AACB, which
means simply—Before the Augs
burg Co’lege Band and After the
Augsburg College Band made its
appearance here.
The performance was a superb
concert by a group of talented and
exceptionally well-trained musi
cians under the direction of a con
ductor who has given great thought
to precision, balance and tone
blending in a concert band.
The program itself was a type
to appeal to all listeners, and yet
not strictly a “pop” concert. Fea
tured was the music of Rimsky
Korsakov and Richard Wagner,
and stirring band numbers from
old and new composers.
The group had the large audi
ence attending in their collective
palms with the opening number,
the Introduction and Wedding
March from “The Golden Cock
erel,” by Rimsky-Korsakov. Later
in the program they played “Con
certo for Trombone,” and the
Polonaise from “Christmas Night”
by the same composer. The Trom
bone Concerto featured soloist
Richard Bowdin, a musician in his
own right.
An original composition, “Co
lumbia Suite” by Curtiss Blake, a
sophomore, and premiered on the
Alaskan tour, was played in the
second half of the program. The
composer conducted the band for
this number, which was well re
ceived.
Brilliant in its performance, the
Band completely won its audience
with spirited renditions of such
numbers as “Holiday Winds,” by
Clenn Osser; “Horns A-Hunting,”
by Gunther Brehm; “Musical Typ
:st.” by Ronald Munro. The Band
went modern in its treatment of
“Spirit of Canaveral!,” by Floyd
Barnard, the “Stars and States,”
bv Ralph E. Willing, the latter
composition embracing the recent
historical events of Statehood for
Alaska and Hawaii.
\ Marimba solo, played as an
encore by Mercia Anderson, fea
tured the familiar “Liebestraum,”
the playing of which was greeted
with thunderous applause.
Listening to this band was a
musical experience, attested to by
the audience which gave the group
a standing ovation during the con
cluding number.
The band left immediately fol
lowing the concert for Anchorage
where they played a request ap
nearance before continuing on
their tour of Southeastern Alaska.
