They received sheet music from the band several weeks ago and rehearsals for the Dec. 3 concert are underway. “In terms of preparation, there"s not a whole lot of difference between this project and what we usually do--there are notes to be learned, tricky passages and rhythms to be mastered and so on,” said Samarov. “The style of this music is different from what we usually do, but then even within standard orchestral literature there is a wide variety of styles, so that"s just another style we need to learn.” With their self-titled first album released in 1974, KANSAS went on to become one of the decade"s most popular rock acts Ã¢â¬“ issuing classic rock albums such as 1976"s Leftoverture and 1977"s Point of Know Return. The band is comprised of singer/keyboardist Steve Walsh, guitarist Rich Williams, bassist Billy Greer, drummer Phil Ehart and violinist David Ragsdale.

RADIAL VELOCITIES in the ZODIACAL DUST CLOUD
A SURVEY OF RADIAL VELOCITIES in the ZODIACAL DUST CLOUD Brian Harold May Astrophysics Group Department of Physics Imperial College London Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine London · 2007 · 2 Abstract This thesis documents the building of a pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot Spectrometer, equipped with a photomultiplier and pulse-counting electronics, and its deployment at the Observatorio del Teide at Izaña in Tenerife, at an altitude of 7,700 feet (2567 m), for the purpose of recording high-resolution spectra of the Zodiacal Light. The aim was to achieve the first systematic mapping of the MgI absorption line in the Night Sky, as a function of position in heliocentric coordinates, covering especially the plane of the ecliptic, for a wide variety of elongations from the Sun. More than 250 scans of both morning and evening Zodiacal Light were obtained, in two observing periods – September-October 1971, and April 1972. The scans, as expected, showed profiles modified by components variously Doppler-shifted with respect to the unshifted shape seen in daylight. Unexpectedly, MgI emission was also discovered. These observations covered for the first time a span of elongations from 25º East, through 180º (the Gegenschein), to 27º West, and recorded average shifts of up to six tenths of an angstrom, corresponding to a maximum radial velocity relative to the Earth of about 40 km/s. The set of spectra obtained is in this thesis compared with predictions made from a number of different models of a dust cloud, assuming various distributions of dust density as a function of position and particle size, and differing assumptions about their speed and direction.

In 1977 the Group Kansas Added a Song to Their Album Point of Know
The Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time February 5, 2012 Center for Spirituality and Sustainability Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Edwardsville, Illinois + Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of Springfield in Illinois In 1977 the group Kansas added a song to their album Point of Know Return that soared to the top of the music charts. This last minute addition – which was almost not included on the album - became their most popular song. The song, of course, is “Dust in the Wind” and it echoes the sentiments of Job expressed well in the first reading today. After everything in his life was taken from him – his family, his livestock, his crops, and even his health – Job sighed, saying, “Remember that my life is like the wind” (Job 7:7). In “Dust in the Wind,” Kansas sang: I close my eyes Only for a moment and the moment’s gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes with curiosity Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind 2 Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind If Kansas is right – if everything we do crumbles to the ground and if all we are is dust in the wind – then Job’s question is almost certainly true: “Is not man’s life on earth a drudgery” (Job 7:1)? There are many people today who go from day to day with this question ever in the hearts.

KANSAS Has Spent Than Four Decades As a Part of the Soundtrack of the Lives of Multiple Generations of Music Lovers
KANSAS has spent than four decades as a part of the soundtrack of the lives of multiple generations of music lovers. The band’s first public statement appeared on their self-titled album in 1974. "From the beginning, we considered ourselves and our music different and we hope we will always remain so." Little did this legendary rock group realize that back in the early ‘70's, what seemed to be “different," was actually ahead of its time. This "garage band" from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner. The band has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), and a million-selling gold single, ‘Dust in the Wind.’ KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70's and ‘80's and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. ‘Carry On Wayward Son’ was the #2 most played track on classic rock radio in 1995 and went to #1 in 1997. In 1998, KANSAS released an orchestral album; "Always Never the Same," recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London. They followed with an orchestral tour accompanied by top-caliber symphony orchestras. In 2000 KANSAS went back into the studio with original band member and songwriter Kerry Livgren to produce "Somewhere to Elsewhere," the first album featuring all 6 of the original players in 20 years! The ten new songs were written by Kerry Livgren and recorded in his studio in Topeka, KS.

Analyzing KANSAS' “Carry on Wayward Son” (1976)
Analyzing KANSAS’ “Carry on Wayward Son” (1976) Matthew A. Bardin, BM Eastman School of Music: Theory 481 The goal of this paper is to, after providing a brief historical context, show a show a multi- faceted analysis of the song “Carry on Wayward Son” by KANSAS. Specifically, I will be looking at the lyrics of the song and giving my personal interpretation of their meaning, The formal arrangement of each section of the song, an analysis of the chords and their harmonic function, the melodic content and notable aspects of each formal section, the use of syncopation, and KANSAS’ use of instruments and timbres over the course of their song. It is my goal that looking at this information will allow me to create a generalized statement that evokes the essential characteristics of the track. KANSAS originally formed as a stereotypical ‘garage band’ out of Topeka, KS in the early 1970s. since their debut album in 1974, they have produced eight gold albums, three sextuple- platinum albums (of which Leftoverture (1976) is one), a platinum live album, and two different one million-selling singles. Over more than 40-year tenure of the band there has been several changes in the band’s line up, including a hiatus where the band was broken up in 1984. Currently, Phil Ehart (percussion) and Rich Williams (guitars) are the only two original band members still playing with the group. While the specific group dynamics play an interesting part in KANSAS’ sound and popularity over the years, it is beyond the scope of this paper.

Kansas – Point of Know Return Live
Kansas – Point Of Know Return Live & Beyond (43:41 + 68:31, CD, Digital, Vinyl, InsideOut Music / Sony Music, 2021) Nach diversen Umbesetzungen vor einigen Jahren ist das amerikanische Progschlachtschiff Kansas wieder schwer auf Kurs. Man legte nach dem geglückten Neustart mit The„ Prelude Implicit“ (2016) und besonders „The Absence Of Presence“ (2020) nicht nur zwei prächtige Studioalben vor, auch live präsentiert sich die Band nach der alterstechnischen Blutauffrischung vitaler denn je. Deswegen geht ebenfalls „Live & Beyond“ in die zweite Runde. Vor rund drei Jahren würdigte man bereits den 76er Klassiker „Leftoverture“ in seiner Gesamtheit im Livekontext, jetzt folgt der zweite, ebenfalls verkaufstechnisch sehr erfolgreiche Platinum Seller „Point Of Know Return“. Wies das erste „Live & Beyond“ Package noch einige Makel auf, besonders durch die massive Verwendung von Autotune bei den Gesangspassagen, so macht die Band dieses Mal alles richtig. Gerade der Steve Walsh Nachfolger Ronnie Platt hat anscheinend wesentlich mehr an Vertrauen in seine eigene Stimmkraft gewonnen und liefert eine perfekte Performance voller vokaler Leidenschaft ab. Natürlich gibt es einige Überschneidungen mit dem letzten Livepackage, da man eben nicht grundsätzlich auf „Leftoverture“ Klassiker wie ‚The Wall‘, ‚Miracles Out Of Nowhere‘ und dem unverwüstlichen ‚Carry On Wayward Son‘ verzichten wollte. Doch neben dem kompletten 77er Album „Point Of Know Return“ bietet man einen sehr gut austarierten Mix aus Klassikern, neuem Material (u.a. ‚Summer‘ und ‚Refugee‘ von „The Prelude Implicit“), aber auch selten gehörtes Material wie das äußerst dynamisch interpretierte ‚Two Cents Worth‘ von „Masque“ (1975) oder die ursprünglich vonSteve Morse geprägten ‚Musicatto / Taking In The View‘ von „Power“ (1986). Was aber in erster Linie überzeugt, ist die Hingabe, Spielfreude und unglaubliche Power, die die aktuelle Kansas Besetzung auf der Bühne bietet.

Kansas – Miracles out of Nowhere (Documentary)
Kansas – Miracles Out Of Nowhere (documentary) (79:28+78:00, CD+DVD, Epic/Legacy/Sony Music, 2015) Das vergangene Jahr war für die Musiker von Kansas ein besonderes, schließlich feierte man sozusagen den 40. Geburtstag ihres Debütalbums. Grund genug, sich noch einmal in der Originalbesetzung zusammenzufinden und über die gemeinsame Vergangenheit zu philosophieren. Das natürlich vor dem Hintergrund, das Ergebnis auf einer Doku-DVD zu verewigen (Regie: Charley Randazzo). Und eines sei gleich vorweggenommen: wer jetzt einen Komplettüberblick über das Schaffen von Kansas erwartet und auch etwas über die John Elefante-Phase, Steve Morse, über die Rückkehr von Steve Walsh, das Ersetzen von Robbie Steinhardt durch David Ragsdale oder gar die aktuelle Entwicklung mit dem neuen Sänger Ronnie Platt erfahren möchte, wird enttäuscht, denn darüber wird kein Wort verloren. Lediglich die Namen David Ragsdale und Billy Greer tauchen immerhin in der Danksagung auf. Vielmehr geht es hier um das, was Kerry Livgren, Steve Walsh, Phil Ehart, Rich Williams, Dave Hope und Robby Steinhardt bis zum ’77er Album „Point Of Know Return“ vollbracht haben. Warum der Einblick nicht weitergeht – schließlich gab es auch danach noch Alben in genau der gleichen Besetzung – bleibt unklar. Auf der rund 78-minütigen DVD wird man allerdings bestens unterhalten. Sämtliche Musiker kommen zu Wort, und es ist allein schon optisch überraschend, wie sehr sich die Musiker zum Teil verändert haben. Ich erinnere mich beispielsweise noch sehr deutlich, wie überaus „raumfüllend“ Gitarrist Rich Williams war, als ich ihn zuletzt live gesehen habe. Nichts mehr davon zu erkennen. Neben den Musikern kommen auch noch Manager, Techniker etc. zu Wort, sodass man jetzt nicht erwarten sollte, viel Live-Musik erleben zu können.
