Special Piano Premiere
To Be In Band Concert
Schuman Work To Be Theme of Specialty
In 70-Piece Band Performance On Sunday
The premiere performance of a new symphonic band tran
scription of the opening movement of Schuman's piano con
certo will be included in the first
to be given Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock by the University
Band in Hill Hall. The public is invited.
The 70-piece organization, di-
rected by Prof. Earl Slocum,
will have a guest conductor and
piano soloist for the occasion.
Harold Andrews, senior music
major from Durham, will con
duct the band in his arrangement
of the popular Schumann work,
and Robert MacDonald, music
major from Little Rock, S. C,
is to play the piano part.
Also on the program are
marches by Goldman and Moore,
Prairie Legend by Seigmeister,
the adagio movement, arranged
for trombone and band from
Haydn's cello concerto, with
Carl Baxter, Greensboro, as so
loist,, and several other pieces.
The ensemble of piano and
band is one that has been com
paratively neglected, according
to Professor Slocum, in discuss
ing the program.
. The idea for Sunday's per
formance was developed last
summer when Andrews heard
Eugene . List perform the Grieg
piano concerto with the Transyl
vania . concert pana. .Later An
drews learned that pianist Mac-
Donald was working on the
Schuman piano concerto and it
was then decided to arrange it
for the University band.
MacDonald and Andrews have
followed the development of the
arrangement step by step and
have had a chance to learn the
core by helping to copy the
parts.
During his time at Durham
high school, Andrews was stu
dent conductor of the band, and
in 1946 he won the Cooperative
Club Scholarshop to study ' at
the National Music Camp at
Interlochen, Michigan. There,
during the summers of 1946 and
1947, he studied conducting un
der William E- Knuth and con
ducted the National College Or
chestra on concerts and broad
casts. - .
