It is vital to the mission of the Auburn Symphony that we continue to bring music into the schools and to expose younger listeners to the great sights and sounds that come from a live symphony orchestra! It is our hope that, through our outreach program, we will inspire students to come to a concert, or better yet, pick up an instrument and start making beautiful music of their own! In these times of uncertain funding for the arts and music in our elementary and middle schools, the Auburn Symphony believes we play a significant role in keeping that connection alive in hearts and minds of today's young people. So, thank you for inviting us into your schools, and please look through this guide and use the many valuable resources that we are making available to you and your students.

Each year the seventy to eighty volunteer members present an ambitious program of outstanding concerts under the direction of Maestro Peter Jaffe. The symphony season opens in September with the Symphony in the Park performed as a gift to the community. This is followed by a series of four Masterworks performances: three in Auburn and one at the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts. Since 1999 the Auburn Symphony has performed an annual Family Concert especially designed to delight young people and families. The Symphony Goes to School program began that same year. A small SGTS orchestra of outstanding musicians present concerts in schools in Placer, Nevada, El Dorado, and Yolo counties. Maestro Peter Jaffe Auburn Symphony Music Director and Conductor 2012-Present Peter Jaffe—or Maestro Jaffe, as an orchestra’s conductor is sometimes called— has been the music director and conductor of the Auburn Symphony since 2012. He also conducts the Stockton Symphony and the Folsom Lake Symphony, and has guest-conducted many orchestras across the country. He frequently arranges music for orchestras, and he plays piano, violin, and viola. He has spearheaded many commissions of world premieres and has earned national recognition and several awards for his educational programs. He’s pretty tall and played on his high school’s varsity basketball team. He also played in a rock band when he was a teenager! Enjoy Maestro Jaffe and the full Auburn Symphony at our Family Concert on Saturday, February 8, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. in the Placer High School Auditorium in Auburn. Paolo Reyes Symphony Goes to School Conductor Paolo Reyes, a Sacramento-based conductor, graduated with his Masters of Music Degree with an emphasis in Orchestra Conducting from CSU, Sacramento. Since graduating, Reyes has served as assistant conductor for the Camellia Symphony Orchestra and is the Music Director of the Camellia Juniors, the youth orchestra branch of the Camellia Symphony. His eclectic tastes have led him to conduct the Elk Grove Strauss Festival, Citywater (an ensemble focusing on contemporary classical music), and musicals with Fairfield’s Missouri Street Theater. Maestro Reyes is also the Music Director and Founder of the Sacramento State Summer Symphony, an academic orchestra that brings current students and alumni of the Sacramento State Orchestra together with the aim to showcase the strengths of CSU Sacramento’s Music Program. Maestro Reyes is an active violinist, performing in numerous orchestras and ensembles in the Sacramento area. What made Paolo Reyes interested in music? He enjoyed playing video games growing up.

Since the action took place in a boat on the open sea, where would the music come from? Raksin reportedly responded by asking Hitchcock where the cameras came from. This course examines film sound practices, focusing on cross-modal perception and cognition: on ways in which sounds influence what we “see” and images influence what we “hear.” Classes are conducted in a lecture format and involve multimedia demonstrations. We will be tackling the following questions: • How and why does music and sound effects work in films? • How did they come to be paired with the motion picture? • How did film sound conventions develop and what are their theoretical, socio-cultural, and cognitive bases? • How does non-speech sound contribute to a film’s narrative and how can such contribution be creatively explored? Aesthetics of the Motion Picture Soundtrack – Spring 2014 – Section 01 Page 1 of 12 COURSE DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES Course examines Classical Hollywood as well as more recent film soundtrack practices, focusing on the interpretation of film sound relative to ‘expectancy’ theories of meaning and emotion.

  • Hans Zimmer, Ridley Scott, and the Proper Length of the Gladius
    HISTORY GOES TO THE MOVIES: HANS ZIMMER, RIDLEY SCOTT, AND THE PROPER LENGTH OF THE GLADIUS Kay Dreyfus (SOPHIS, Monash University) In his article “Hollywood’s German Fantasy: Ridley Scott’s Gladiator,” Marc A. Weiner does something that is quite novel in the literature of film as history. He bases an historical reading of Scott’s Roman epic film (2000) on a close analysis of two seminal music cues.1 Briefly told, the film’s narrative is an invention that draws on certain historical elements—the death of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius in AD180 and the succession of his son, Commodus—but develops a fictional story around the character of General Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Spanish farmer and landowner turned soldier who, having defeated the barbarians of the north in a battle in Germania, is betrayed by the treachery of Commodus. (Maximus’s Spanish origins are perhaps the only link between this essay and the research interests of the dedicatee of this book.) Maximus becomes a slave, then a gladiator, and finally a saviour of Rome; he is the gladiator of the film’s title and the story concerns his journey.2 Weiner’s reading of the film focuses on the musical underpinning of two key moments: the first an evocation of the opening bars of the Prelude to Götterdämmerung (with its echoes of the prelude to Das Rheingold) that accompanies the audience’s first view of the ancient city of Rome; the second, a reminiscence of the opening of Siegfried’s “Funeral March” that is heard at the moment when Maximus, a masked gladiator, reveals his true identity to Commodus at the conclusion of a great battle in the arena of the Coliseum.

  • Moon River” from Breakfast at Tiffany’S
    2CELLOS RELEASE VIDEO FOR ICONIC MOVIE SCORE “MOON RIVER” FROM BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S Accompanied By The London Symphony Orchestra VIEW VIDEO HERE Album SCORE available March 17 2CELLOS, music’s most electric and dynamic instrumental duo, released a video for their second single, “Moon River” from their new Portrait/Sony Music Masterworks album Score, available March 17, 2017. The video for the iconic Breakfast at Tiffany’s song was shot in Dubrovnik, Croatia earlier this year. The song features the London Symphony Orchestra. View the new video here: https://youtu.be/1KFSfoBIgcg. “When we decided we wanted to record our favorite movie soundtracks ‘Moon River’ was high on our list,” said Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser. “Henry Mancini’s composition has a timeless quality and beautiful melody. We wanted to capture that with our arrangement for the cello. We enjoyed playing with intimacy and passion, and the soaring strings of the London Symphony Orchestra were the perfect accompaniment for this most romantic of tunes. We filmed our video in the beautiful city Dubrovnik to reflect those qualities.” SCORE brings 2CELLOS’ game-changing sound and style to the most popular melodies ever written for classic and contemporary movies and television. Score will be supported by a world tour, kicking off with its U.S. leg this summer. The first single from the album was the Game of Thrones theme song, which garnered over 4 million views on YouTube – watch the video here. An international sensation since their unique video version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” rocked YouTube with millions of hits in 2011, the Croatian cellists Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser have created three high- energy albums for Sony Music Masterworks.

Ted Ricketts Pirates of the Caribbean President’s Welcome When I applied to be SUSO President last year, I was not expecting to have the year that we have had. Whilst it has certainly been a challenge trying to guide a 70 person symphony orchestra through a global pandemic, it is a challenge that myself and the committee has taken on without hesitation. September saw the auditioning of the new orchestra, with many lovely new faces joining us. Rob Arthur was chosen as our assistant conductor, and so began the commencement of many hours of planning and writing COVID-19 safe risk assessments by myself and the committee. Despite all of the many plans we had being cancelled, in the Autumn we managed four rehearsals, where we played Vaughan Williams’ London Symphony, Strauss’ first horn concerto and Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers Overture. Sadly, November’s national lockdown hit hard and shut down our rehearsals. The new project we had planned for the Easter holidays, SUSO’s Big Weekend, involving student singers performing original works alongside the orchestra was unfortunately postponed, and then cancelled. However, I would like to say thank you to the wonderful singers we chose for all the work they put into it, and I do hope that this is something next year’s committee decides to continue with.

This raises the question: What makes music epic? No prior research has been done regarding video game music. There is a pressing need to conduct research that concentrates on the musical aspect of video games, because this music represents some of the most significant composition of our time. World of Warcraft is the first successful online epic video game with twelve million subscribers monthly at its peak in 2010. Since the original game was released on November 23rd, 2004, four expansions have been released and the music of World of Warcraft has evolved yet remains epic. This research will examine the particularity of composing music ii for the World of Warcraft, trace back the tradition of epic music, analyze the orchestral scores and original soundtracks, and dissect their harmony, counterpoint, instrumentation, orchestration, form and style.
