Joseph Soprani to Perform with Marple/Newtown Band on December 1by Rita Davidson Barnea |
 Joseph Soprani writes:I will be featured in one of my latest arrangements called Il Convegno by A. Panchielli originally written for two clarinets and concert band. It is one of Panchielli’s Romantic instrumental masterpieces. I was asked to arrange it for accordion and clarinet by the conductor of the band Tony Wastler who is the former clarinetist of the the USAF Band in Washington, DC. in the late 60’s. As many of you know I was the accordion soloist under Col. George Howard in the late 50’s. I started this project in March and after three rehearsals with the band it is beginning to take shape. If you are able to attend you will hear how I was able to maintain the essence and character of the clarinet and also showcase the wonders of the accordion. This may very well be my last major project and performance. I plan on retiring next year. Thank you for your tremendous support over the years. |
