SHENANDOAH Music is a SCIENCE In his setting of Shenandoah, Frank Ticheli was inspired by the freedom and It is exact, specific; and it demands exact acoustics. A conductor’s beauty of the folk melody and by the natural images evoked by the words, es- full score is a chart, a graph which indicates frequencies, intensi- pecially the image of a river. He was less concerned with the sound of a rolling ties, volume changes, melody, and harmony all at once and with river than with its life-affirming energy – its timelessness alongside it. The the most exact control of time. work’s mood ranges from quiet reflection, through growing optimism, to pro- found exaltation. The Shenandoah Valley and the Shenandoah River are located in Virginia. Music is MATHEMATICAL There is disagreement among historians concerning the origins of their names. It is rhythmically based on the subdivisions of time into fractions Some claim that the river and valley were named in the 1750’s by the Cherokee which must be done, not worked out on paper. as a friendly tribute to a visiting Iroquois Chief named Shenandoah. Others suggest that the region was named not by the Cherokee but by the Senedo In- dians of the Virginia Valley. In the Senedo Tradition, Shenandoah means “Daughter of the Moon,” and bears no relation to the Iroquois Chief Shenan- Music is a FOREIGN LANGUAGE doah.

JAZZ ENSEMBLE CCCONCERTCONCERT ETIQUITTE SAXOPHONES TRUMPETS RHYTHM SECTION A performer's intense concentration can be interrupted by little things that may seem Laura Beach Josh Burns Ben Bourlier, Piano trivial to audience members. The following suggestions will help audience members Brandon DeCaluwe Kelly Grossman Sean Demers, Drum Set show respect to the performers on stage as well as other members of the audience. Allison Drompp Brian Keck Steve Krycia, Guitar This will help the performers to do their best. Dylan Campbell Andrew Karasinski Josh Miller, Drum Set Darryl Hentrich Christie Piper Jason Saghy, Piano When To Applaud - Performers always appreciate applause, but there are appropriate Rachel Olivares William Stanton, Bass moments to applaud. In a multi-movement work, applaud after all movements are TROMBONES Josh Stros, Guitar completed. This allows the continuity of the piece to flow from one movement to the FLUTE Chelsea Hallendy + Bryn Watnoski, Bass next. “Hooting and hollering” is not appropriate in the concert setting. Dorian Michelson Meghan Root Taylor Stanton Arrival Time - Leave early and allow enough time for parking and traffic. If you do arrive Sarah Zelenak late, wait by the doors until the first piece (not just a movement) is finished, then discreetly take the nearest seat available. Entering and Exiting the Auditorium - Never enter or exit the auditorium during a per- formance. If you must enter or exit, please wait until the performance on stage has been completed. The most appropriate times to move about are during audience ap- plause or set changes. Talking - Talking should not be tolerated. It is not only distracting to the performer, but to every person in the audience. It is just plain rude to talk (even whispering can be heard) during a musical performance. If someone around you is talking, ask them nicely to please stop. WIND ENSEMBLE PICCOLO BASSOON TRUMPET Other Noises - Avoid rustling your program, tapping your foot, bouncing your legs, etc. Chelsea Hallendy + Ben Hanson + Josh Burns + Pagers and cell phones should be turned off. Watches set to beep on the hour should Kelly Grossman also be turned off. These high-pitched beeps are distracting to the performers and FLUTE ALTO SAXOPHONE Brian Keck* + audience members. Jacquie Blom Laura Beach Christie Piper Caroline Haas + Dylan Campbell + Samantha Strassburg Coughing - It is hard to avoid a spontaneous cough.
