Allan Hancock College Concert Band to perform “The Armenian Dances”May 12, 2011 - 15:10 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Director Greg Stoll will lead the Allan Hancock College Concert Band in its last performance of the 2010-11 season on Saturday, May 14, in Santa Maria, CA. A special feature of the evening’s musical selections will be a performance of “Deep River” (arrangement by Luther Henderson,) a traditional Black Gospel featuring five tuba players including Band Director Emeritus Gary Thompson. Other highlights include Rossini’s “The William Tell Overture.” This classical overture, more popularly known as the theme for the Lone Ranger TV and movie series, will give the woodwind section a real workout. Continuing in a semi-classical mode, “The Armenian Dances,” by Alfred Reed, is a time-honored band work. Contemporary band numbers will include “Novena” by James Swearingen and “Sedona” by Steven Reineke. Rounding out the concert are two audience favorites: “Big Band Showcase” (arrangement by Bob Lowden), which brings to mind music of the 1940s dance bands, and selections arranged by Warren Baker from “The Phantom of the Opera,” one of the most famous Broadway musicals, syvnews.com reported.
