            It’s music “With a Latin Lilt” to celebrate the conclusion of the Terre Haute Community Band’s 2010 Summer Concert season.  The band appreciates the loyalty of its audience who applauded their performances despite the threat of rain and oppressive heat and will close the season with some toe-tapping, lively music. The free concert in Fairbanks Park begins at 8:00 p.m.

            A popular Spanish march “Amparito Roca” by Jaime Texidor sets the mood for several Spanish dance tunes.  “La Mascarada” written by Harold Walters is a paso doble which is a lively march-like style of dance that originated in southern Spain. Paso doble means ‘two step’ in Spanish and is based on music played at bullfights during the bullfighter’s entrance or just before the kill!  Another paso doble tune is “Costa Bravo” by Eric Osterling.

            James Horner wrote the score for the 2005 version of several Zorro films, “The Legend of Zorro”.  Films and television have used this familiar tale beginning with the 1920 film starring Douglas Fairbanks.  “Vaquero” was composed by Sammy Nestico, a composer and arranger whose name often appears on concert band programs.

            Much has been written about Leonard Bernstein’s brilliant gifts as a conductor, composer, pianist, and TV music lecturer. Leonard Bernstein's Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic stand among his greatest achievements.  Danzon” is one of four specific dance sequences in the ballet “Fancy Free” composed by Bernstein in collaboration with choreographer Jerome Robbins. Fancy Free was immediately recognized as the first ballet of importance to be written and set completely in the contemporary American idiom.

            Several of Alberto Ginastera’s compositions stand as landmarks of Latin-American artistic creation and have earned him a place among the greatest composers of the twentieth century. The title on tonight’s playlist is “Danza”, the finale from a larger work, “Estancia”. Other selections for tonight’s concert include several marches and Latin pop songs.

            The Conductor of the Terre Haute Community Band is Yvonne Newlin, the Performing Arts Coordinator at Lincoln Trail Community College in Robinson, IL.  The Summer Concert Series is sponsored by the Terre Haute Parks & Recreation Department.  The band appreciates the grant received from the City of Terre Haute and the media sponsorship with WFIU. The band also recognizes the support from Arts Illiana; the Indiana Arts Commission, a state agency; and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.  For further information please contact the Terre Haute Community Band office at St. Mary of the Woods College, 812-535-6440 or our web page www.terrehautecommunityband.org
