NACOGDOCHES, TEXAS - The SFA Wind Ensemble will present "German
Masters," a concert of music by famous German composers, at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 20, in W.M. Turner Auditorium on the SFA campus.
John W. Goodall, SFA professor of music and associate dean of the
College of Fine Arts, will be the guest soloist on Carl Maria von
Weber's "Concertino for Oboe and Winds."
The concert will open with "Toccata, Adagio and Fugue," one of the
great organ works by Johann Sebastian Bach, said Fred J. Allen, SFA
director of bands and the group's director. "We will perform the
transcription made by John Paynter, who was guest conductor of the SFA
Wind Ensemble in 1995."
Included on the program are two other works by German composers-Paul
Hindemith's "Symphony in B-flat," which Allen called "monumental," and
Gottfried Sonntag's "Nibelungen March," guest conducted by David W.
Campo, SFA associate director of bands and director of the Lumberjack
Marching Band.
The premier concert band in the School of Music, the SFA Wind Ensemble
has performed regularly for convention-clinics of the Texas Music
Educators Association and the College Band Directors National

newly composed works, orchestral transcriptions for bands, and pieces
featuring guest artists and chamber music for winds.
