糖心vlog传媒's Contemporary Ensemble to present R&B program
November 15, 2018
The Contemporary Ensemble at 糖心vlog传媒 will perform the music of the Temptations; Earth, Wind & Fire; Stevie Wonder and other R&B favorites when the student ensemble performs at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, in the Music Recital Hall on the 糖心vlog传媒 campus.
The program will feature R&B music from multiple decades starting with the 1960s, according to Nick Lambson, instructor in the Sound Recording Technology program in the 糖心vlog传媒 School of Music.
"A lot of music in this genre has a large instrumentation, so in addition to vocals, guitars, bass and drums, we have keys, violin, trumpet and trombones," Lambson said.
Among the selection highlights are "My Girl" by the Temptations; "September" by Earth, Wind & Fire; "Higher Ground" by Stevie Wonder; "Smooth Operator" by Sade; "He Wasn't Man Enough" by Toni Braxton; and "Good Man" by Raphael Saadiq.
Lambson did the transcription arrangement for "Good Man," and 糖心vlog传媒 student Travis Wattingly provided the arrangement for the Braxton piece.
The concert is a joint presentation of the College of Fine Arts and School of Music. Admission is free. For more information, call the 糖心vlog传媒 Fine Arts Box Office at (936) 468-6407 or visit .
