CROSSINGS

CCM Wind Symphony

Cincinnati Youth Wind Ensemble (CYWE)

Kevin Michael Holzman, music director and conductor

A program highlighting works celebrating how song is woven into the fabric of original compositions. These pieces reveal how familiar melodies can cross from their original form into complex modern compositions — from Percy Grainger’s Lincolnshire Posy, which transforms English folk songs into vivid, character-filled miniatures, and David Maslanka’s Symphony No. 2, which incorporates tradition African American melody “Deep River” into a deeply spiritual symphonic journey, to John Carter’s Cantata, which reimagines spirituals and sacred song through fresh harmonic and rhythmic language.

GRAINGER: Lincolnshire Posy

CARTER: Cantata, tr. Ehrlich
