Show PAGE 10 MONDAY, MARCH 4, 2002 UNIVERSITY JOURNAL ARTS SUU Graduating Seniors in Airts, Social and Natural Sciences: faculty recital tonight BY SHOHEI KAMADA JOURNAL STAFF WRITER Music department faculty will present a recital tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Thorley Recital Hall. Virginia Stitt, associate professor of music, will play the oboe and English horn. Darin Wadley, assistant professor of music, will perform with various percussion instruments, and Adam Calliham, adjunct flute instructor, will play the flute. Wadley will play Nature Alley by Dean Gronemeier on solo marimba, Earn your MBA in 14 Months. Canaries on solo timpani, The Recital Piece on xylophone and Hungarian Folk Song by Halsey Steven. Wadley and Stitt will play Zwei Stucke with percussion and oboe, and Stitt and Calliham will play Duo for Flute and Oboe by Hinastera. “One thing we want students to [hear] at this recital is the diversity of the music,” Stitt said. For example, she said, one piece was written by a South American composer, while another has roots in a Hungarian folk song. Stitt added that the combination of oboe and percussion is an unusual one that students rarely hear. Stitt said the purpose of faculty recitals is to allow SUU students to hear faculty perform and also to help faculty keep up on playing. Wadley said these types of performances help faculty keep their hands, bodies and lips in shape. He said recitals are also an excellent opportunity for music majors to hear good literature, good music and good performances. Students can get ideas on how to play their own instruments better, he said. Stitt said students learn the dynamic and contrast performance and are able to apply lessons taught in class. "Students don’t see how the techniques are applied to the performance of music,” she said. “They might wonder why students have to learn how to do it.” She expects that students will get some new ideas for pieces and will want to know more about them after seeing how much she and other faculty love performing them. Stitt hopes students will share that enjoyment. One of her goals is to perform as accurately as possible with the intent of the composer in mind, and to portray that intent to the audience the best way she can. Stitt said another goal she and her colleagues have is to show the audience their love of and enthusiasm for sharing music with others.
