HSU Wind Ensemble Concert

The Humboldt State University School of Dance, Music, and Theatre presents the HSU Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Paul Cummings. They perform arrangements and transcriptions of favorite classical works including J.S. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, and the dramatic Mars, from Gustav Holst's "The Planets." Also on the program are the rousing Italian march Il Bersaglieri, Paul Creston's charming Five Little Dances, and two contrasting Serenades, one composed by Vincent Persichetti and the other by Derek Bourgeois. The concert begins with a lively brass sextet, led by Fred Tempas and comprised of players from the Wind Ensemble.
