KU Wind Ensemble releases fourth CD, Landscapes
The KU Wind Ensemble, conducted by Paul W. Popiel, director of bands, recently released Landscapes, the ensemble’s fourth CD on the Naxos label.
Landscapes is a journey through the rich tapestry of American wind band music, featuring the works of Michael Torke, Frank Ticheli and Aaron Copland.
The CD features the following KU School of Music faculty members: Ji Hye Jung, assistant professor of percussion, marimba; Steve Leisring, associate professor of trumpet; and Margaret Marco, associate professor of oboe, English horn.
"I am really thrilled to present this great repertoire to a wider audience through the Naxos Wind Band Classics series,” Popiel said. “I am truly humbled to continue the tradition of excellent bands at the University of Kansas and to share the Wind Ensemble's work around the world through this recording. It is a very exciting time for the KU School of Music."
The KU Wind Ensemble will record its fifth CD, In the Shadow of No Towers, later this month prior to the world premiere of this work at Carnegie Hall on March 26, 2013. The CD will be released in November 2013 on the Naxos label.
Landscapes is currently available from various outlets and also on iTunes.
