Property The of Duchesne composer Bruce Adolphes Tyrannosaurus Sue, A Cretaceous Concerto on Saturday, September 9 at 8 p.m. in the Grand County High School Auditorium. The skeleton of Ty rannosaurus Sue was discovered in the Black Hills of South Dakota on Aug. 12, 1990. She is named for Sue Hendrickson, the fossil hunter who made the amazing discovery. To date, 21 Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons have been discovered throughout the world. The late great Sue is the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever found. Originally commissioned by the Chicago Chamber Musicians for a concert celebrating the unveiling of the bones of Sue, Adolphes playful "story in music" tracing Sues imagined life from birth to death premiered in May at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History. Parts of the work were performed for the actual unveiling, and heard on CNN, The Today Show, Good Morning America, National Public Radio and many local news piograms around the country. Written in six movements. Tyrannosaurus Sue begins with the dinosaurs birth millions of years ago. A day when, Adolphe writes, the earth trembled... the clouds fled in terror" and the imposing Tyrannosaurus rex emerged into the world. Adolphe uses specific instruments to represent different dinosaur types: Sue is brought to life by the trombone; the smaller, faster Troodon is performed on the clarinet; the duck-billeParasaurolophus is represented by the bassoon; and the Tricer atops, known for its sword-shard -- p Roosevelt County property majority owners have received an increase in their property values and some have seen tax increases as well. Hardest hit were older homes, which had not been assessed in 10 years.

The week includes an evening of Latin American music on Friday, Sept. 8 at 8 p m. in Star Hall. Following the success and popularity of , A. N last years Latin con-cer- t, this years pro- gram includes works by Ernesto Astor Nazareth, Piazzola, and Heitor Villa-Lobo- s Baihianas Brasileiras No 3 as well as choral works by Lobo de Mesquita sung by the Moab Parasaurolophus, for example, is a wild double concerto for trombone and bassoon, performed in Moab by David Taylor and Crawford Best, respectively. The cadences in the music could draw their power (and humor, too) from vivid imagery. A trombone can take a bite out of a bassoon or a French horn." Sues encounters with other dinosaurs over food and territory, depict the power and dominance of the Tyrannosaurus rex in its heyday. Time and time again, Sue is the victor. But the battles She surare fierce and hard-wovives to old age, but Mother Nature shudders, and in one horrific moment all the dinosaurs including Sue are gone. In the final movement, Adolphe transports the audi- ence through time to the present moment, where todays most powerful creature, humans, are now the keepers of memory," and the music reminds us of our responsibility to keep Sues story alive. Adolphe says he immediately seized the opportunity to write Tyrannosaurus Sue because he was fascinated by her. The idea that Sue was alive 67 million years ago was thrilling to contemplate. The unveiling of the re- constructed skeleton would of the human connection with history that Adolphe hopes listeners will take away with them. I think that the final impression of the work is that we humans are even more amazing than a 7 ran nosaurus rex. After all, we can imagine these creatures from a few bones, dig them up, assemble them, imagine their lives and create their history, celebrate their discovery and have a lot of fun doing it. We can experience the chills and thrills of a creature that lived 67 million years ago. I hope that the music will transport them somewhere new, and yet as old as the dinosaurs," he says. Adolphes playful Tyrannosaurus Sue, a Cretaceous Concerto will be performed on Saturday, Sept. 9, as part of a program with exciting works that trace mans musical thoughts on pre history and Igor primitivism.
