Composers of wind band music have used traditional Christian hymn melodies as thematic
source material for decades. Hymn tunes do not always employ a regular musical structure;
instead, they often reflect the style conventions of the time. Please join the Martin Luther
College Wind Symphony for a unique concert experience as we explore the use of hymnody in
wind band music. Each piece on the program will be preceded by a short introduction discussing
how the composer has taken an irregularly structured melody and made it fit into contemporary
musical conventions. “Hymnody and the Wind Band” will take place on Thursday, February
22, at 7:30 pm in the Chapel of the Christ as part of a special Focus on Fine Arts weekend.
