DALLAS — The Dallas Wind Symphony performed the opening show of its 2007-2008 season, but can anybody tell what the %#$! this guy is talking about?
With another of its signature fanfares echoing around the vast lobby of the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, the Dallas Wind Symphony opened its 2007-08 season Tuesday evening. Titled Resound!, Cormac Cannon's new fanfare was more stately than most, wide descending intervals yielding to increasingly complex harmonies and finally blazes of trumpets. ...Inside the hall, the concert proper was devoted entirely to transcriptions of orchestral pieces. (The group's concerts usually include at least one piece composed for symphonic wind ensemble, but not this time.) .... A jolly Saint-Saëns March militaire française was only halfheartedly militant – maybe a march for toy soldiers. ... Two orchestral chestnuts, the Berlioz Roman Carnival Overture and Respighi's Roman Festivals, provided plenty of flash. That was literally true in the latter piece, with visual enhancement (or, depending on your point of view, distraction) in the form of a light show.
This is a lead to a review. One wonders where the basic reporting went. Crowd size? Name of event? Hello? (Hint: If you hit this link, you'll find out it was a show with five pieces, called "Roman Holiday".)
