  • Gesu Bambino
    GESÙ BAMBINO GESÙ BAMBINO Christmas Pastorale for Concert Band Grade 3.5 Though lesser known than some Christmas melodies, this stately, pastoral work incorporates the chorus of “O Come All Ye Faithful” (or “Adeste Fideles”) into the writing. The original melody by Yon is rather remarkable in its elegant beauty, and sounds timeless and enchantingly ancient, though it was written rather recently in 1917. Pietro Yon was an organist who spent most of his career at the St. Patrick Cathedral in New York. Yon was well regarded in his lifetime by Pietro Yon fellow musicians. Notably among his pupils was the celebrated American songwriter Cole Porter and, upon his passing edited by in 1943, Arturo Toscanini himself was among those who attended his large funeral. This arrangement begins softly with a simple statement of the melody in the trumpets. The theme expands as it is passed around the various instrumental R. Mark Rogers choirs with increasing use of counterpoint. Culminating in a joyous exaltation, the music winds to a gentle and serene conclusion. The score is well-cued in key sections where the melody is prominent. Yon/ Rogers R. Mark Rogers began wri�ng for band while in high school, and con�nued with degrees from Texas Tech University and the University of Texas. Director of Publica�ons for Southern Music Company from 1993 and Managing Editor of the firm since 2015, Rogers has authored edi�ons of the music of Percy Grainger and John Philip Sousa that have entered band repertory worldwide. He is also widely published as an arranger and transcriber, with performances by all five of the Washington, DC service bands.

The course focused on the foundations of the Italian language, namely conjugation of frequently-used verbs, articles of speech, etc. We are still working to secure a location to hold the Level 2 Italian course next year, although the start date is uncertain. We have also received a number of inquires from members asking when the Level 1 course will be held. We are looking into bringing on a second instructor that can teach a Level 1 while Carlo teaches a Level 2. Otherwise, a Level 1 course would not begin until after the Level 2 course ends.

    Tti~ by Lloyd E. Klos The Wanamaker Grand Court Or­ gan! The very sound of those words is in keeping with the prestigious rank which this instrument enjoys when one mentions the great pipe or­ gans of the world. Though it is not a theatre instrument per se, it does have some percussive stops, and the Wanamaker Store was a focal point for one of the sessions of the 1976 ATOS Convention in Philadelphia. The original organ was but a third the size of the present instrument. It was designed by George Ashdown Audsley and was built by the Los Angeles Art Organ Co. for the St. Louis Exposition in 1904. It required 11 box cars to move the 10,059 pipes, console, and other appurtenances. Not much is known about the or­ gan's early history. It was installed in the Festival Hall of the exposition, and was played by Alexander Guil­ rnont and nearly every great organist of the time. When the exposition closed in December 1904, the instru­ ment was dismantled and stored in a warehouse for six years. Enter Rod­ man Wanamaker.
