Next up on our pops concert this Saturday (6/13) is Selections from “Princess Mononoke.” The movie soundtrack was composed by Joe Hisaishi and more recently arranged for wind ensemble by Kazuhiro Morita.

Princess Mononoke is a 1997 Japanese animated epic historical fantasy film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. Princess Mononoke is set in the late Muromachi period (approximately 1336 to 1573) of Japan with fantasy elements. The story follows the young Emishi prince Ashitaka’s involvement in a struggle between the gods of a forest and the humans who consume its resources.

We are excited for our pops concert on June 13th! First up is the “Symphonic Dances from West Side Story” written by Leonard Bernstein in 1961 and arranged for wind ensemble by Paul Lavender.

“West Side Story” the musical opened on Broadway in 1957 and then was adapted into a movie starring Natalie Wood in 1961. More recently, it was adapted into a movie featuring Rachel Zegler and Ansel Elgort.

Symphonic Dances from “West Side Story” was first performed by the New York Philharmonic on an all-Bernstein concert in 1961, four years after the opening of West Side Story on Broadway. The songs of the musical had immediately become popular standards, while at the same time the dance music had been sophisticated enough to find its way into the concert hall, similar to music of a ballet.

The suite encompasses Mambo, a competitive dance between the gangs; Cha-Cha, when Tony and Maria see one another for the first time; and the Finale, love music and a procession that recalls the ever-popular aria Somewhere, but now with a more tragic sentiment. by @brooklynwindsymphony
