UNC-A Plans
Palm Sunday Concert
A Palm Sunday concert Aril
IS featuring music ranging
from Handel's "Messiah" to
"Jesus Christ Superstar" will
be performed at the Universi
ty of North Carolina at
Asheville.
The 4 p.m. concert at Lipin
sky Auditorium will be per
formed by UNCA's 35-voice
University Singers under the
direction of Dewitt Tipton.
Tipton calls the program "a
survey of traditional and con
temporary music illustrating
the Lenten-season ideas of
penitence, sorrow and rejoic
! ?? I
ing.
The concert opens with
"Hosanna to the Son of David"
by David Moe, a 20th-century
composer, and closes with
nine selections from "Jesus
Christ SupermUr."
"The concert is framed by
works representing the more
joyous sense o i the Easter
season, while the middle parts
of the program are more con
templative," says Tipton.
The program includes selec
tions from Handel's
"Messiah," "Out of the Dep
ths" by Alan Hovhaneas, and a
selection from Beethoven's
'The Mount of Olives." Also
performed will be three ver
sions of "Ave Verum Corpus"
("Hail True Body") from
Mozart in the 18th century.
William Byrd in the 16th cen
tury, and Edward Elgar in the
early 20th century.
The "Jesus Christ
Superstar" selections will be
accompanied by the UNCA
Studio Ensemble, a four-piece
rock group directed by Wayne
Kirby. UNCA's resident dec
ironic music composer.
"The 'Superstar' selections
trace the life of Jesus from the
week of Palm Sunday through
the Crucifixion," says Tipton
"This rock opera was very
controversial when it first ap
peared in the early 1970s, but
it's a great piece of music and
I think it's time we listen to it
again."
Admission is 92 for adults
and 91 for children. The con
cert is sponsored in part by the
UNCA Music Club and is part
of the university's fourth an
I nual Celebration of the Arts.
