featuring the Shen Wind Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, East Choraliers, East Jazz Ensemble and West Bands
The Wind Ensemble recently held a recording session in the auditorium under the direction of Mr. Carucci. Here is the result of that effort, The Symphonic Gershwin, which includes excerpts from three famous works by George Gershwin: An American in Paris, Rhapsody in Blue and Cuban Overture.
Shenendehowa High School Chamber Orchestra worked on creating harmonies using just a melody and a lead sheet. Here are two examples, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and Finn Jenta, a traditional Norwegian waltz.
The Shenendehowa Jazz Ensemble performs "A Nasty Bit of Blues" featuring Grace Estus (trumpet), Casey Asaro (trumpet), and Aidan Sherwood (drums).
The High School East Choraliers perform this neat arrangement of the traditional spiritual, Wade in the Water in a virtual choir setting. The five soloists featured on this selection are: Maggie Cordova, Scott Dochat, Micah Dissanayake, Adella Duval, and Alex Dinardi.
West band students recorded their parts for this Karl King march in school and at home, then combined them for the group virtual performance here.
