From the ASU News Bureau
A holiday concert performed by students in Appalachian State
University’s Hayes School of Music that first aired on
UNC TV last December will be rebroadcast Dec. 24 at 12 a.m.
and 10 p.m. and Dec. 25 at 1 and 7 a.m. and at 1, 7 and 10 p.m.
“Holiday Sounds from Appalachian” features
performances by more than a dozen musical ensembles. It was
coordinated by Steve Hopkins, a member of the music faculty.
“The show is a quality product that demonstrates
the diversity of our performance programs and the skills of
the UNC TV production team. We feel fortunate for the experience
and have received many favorable comments from viewers across
the state who watched the concert last year,” said Bill
Harbinson, dean of the Hayes School of Music.
The program includes a medley by the Steely Pan Steel
Band, “Dance of the Reed Pipes” and “Greensleeves”
by the Flute Ensemble, selections by the Treble Choir, “O,
Come all Ye Faithful” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
by the Brass Choir, “Mary Sat a Rockin’” by the
Glee Club, “Sleigh Ride” by the Appalachian Symphony
Orchestra and “The Christmas Song” by the Chamber
Singers.
The orchestra and vocal groups combine for “Hallelujah”
from Handel’s “Messiah.”
The program was originally videotaped the week of Nov.
26, 2007, in Farthing Auditorium on campus. The production of
the 2007 concert was made possible by the Hayes Endowment for
Musical Excellence established by the late Mariam Cannon Hayes.
