Salfelder - Cathedrals from Magnolia Star by UPEI Wind Symphony

Cathedrals is a fantasy on Gabrieli’s Canzon Primi Toni which dates from 1597. Using contemporary scoring, harmony, and rhythm, Salfelder creates a neo-renaissance adventure surrounding the two brass choirs – predominantly consisting of trumpets and trombones – with a rich color palette and textures of woodwinds and percussion.

The University of Prince Edward Island Wind Symphony consists of music majors, other UPEI students, and community musicians. Commissioning new compositions, featuring outstanding student and professional soloists, and showcasing masterworks of the wind band genre are all hallmarks of this ensemble.
