Concert Band to perform nontraditional music
By Crystal Chisholm
staff writer
When most students hear the
word classical in front of music,
they sigh and shake their heads.
However, this semester,
Behrend’s Concert Band’s “An
evening of Chamber Music” is
not just for grandma. With their
unique variety of pieces to be
performed, this semester the
band is taking a different
approach to the concert.
“Instead of using the full
Concert Band as a whole, the
band will be broken up into
smaller chamber ensembles.
Each ensemble group will range
from four to nine people,” said
Band Director Dr. Gary
Viebranz. “All of our pieces will
be performed this way, except for

one large piece that includes
everyone.”
Chamber music is music per
formed in smaller groups ranging
from four to nine people, with
one player for each part.
“It’s like a group of soloists,"
said Viebranz.
For many, classical music all
has the same sound. But
Viebranz stresses each group’s
individuality.
“Every ensemble has its own
distinctive sound providing a lot
of variety to the listener," said
Viebranz.
This semester the band is try
ing to cover a wider range of
pieces and styles with the songs
they are performing. One such
piece by C.P.E. Bach, has a more
offbeat style of classical music.
“His music is more dance
music than concert music,” said
Viebranz. Terry Ripley's “In C,”

another piece to be performed, is
defined as revolutionary and con-

"Premiered in 1964, the piece
is one of the first compositions
with a very small amount of har
monic material,” said Viebranz.
“It is built on C major and has no
chord changes, but a great deal of
repetition, which gives the piece
the feel that it is turned inside out
on itself.”
Every person in the ensemble
receives the same piece of music,
but it occurs in different phases.
“It was an entirely different
way of thinking than anything
happening prior to that piece in
the classical world,” said
Viebranz. “For this reason it cre
ated a lot of buzz.”

Music” will take place on April

“I’m really proud that since
day one I’ve tried to make this

"I think that Dan Stasiewski
has done a good job in creating
a professional atmosphere and
an inviting atmosphere,” said
Roan.
Roan said that she was
pleased that this year, like last
year, two students applied for
the position and that she is glad
that the Beacon is taking steps
to increase participation from
the student body as a whole.
“Campus press is the press.
It’s not a game; it’s not a class.
It is very easy for student jour
nalists to get pressured from a
lot of sides on what they’re
covering, especially by people
who don’t see student press as
journalism.”
