The ensemble performs \u201cHigh Rise\u201d by Adrian Gordon, which is available to watch above or on the <a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1VO_Qy7N1Es\">Allegheny College YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is a relatively new work for string orchestra (2014), and Jennifer Dearden, director of the Civic Symphony, chose the piece \u201cin part because it incorporates some jazz\/funk elements, which is something that many collegiate string players have not yet had the opportunity to try. And while it is important to give students the experience playing \u2018standard\u2019 orchestral music by familiar names like Beethoven or Haydn, it is equally important that student performers and audiences alike get to know and appreciate music outside the confines of 18th and 19th century Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With some students studying remotely and others on campus, it has presented a challenge for rehearsing and arranging music, Dearden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach ensemble has done things a bit differently. The orchestra, normally 50-plus students playing strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion, has reduced down to string instruments only, and so all the in-person members are able to rehearse together on the Shafer stage,\u201d she said. \u201cThe Wind Symphony and Jazz Band meet in rotating small groups, and the choral ensembles are meeting entirely on Zoom. Remote students in instrumental ensembles have used specialized software, called SmartMusic, to submit work and still participate in the ensemble, playing the same repertoire as the students rehearsing in person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Coordinating all the individual feeds from the musicians can be tricky work. \u201cThe largest challenge we had was that the first attempt at recording \u2018High Rise\u2019 just didn\u2019t work \u2014 the individual files weren\u2019t lining up and we had to record them again using a different technique,\u201d said Dearden. \u201cThat was an especially difficult thing to have to ask the students to do, but they stepped up and the resulting product was worth the extra effort. The Department as a whole has had to rethink other things like instrument storage and how students can use practice rooms safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still to come this fall?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe orchestra will have at least two, hopefully three, more videos released. Next up will be a string version of Edward Elgar\u2019s \u2018Nimrod\u2019 from the Enigma Variations. The other ensembles all have recordings at various stages of the process right now; some ensembles will release audio recordings rather than video,\u201d said Dearden.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/news\/2020\/10\/30\/allegheny-college-civic-symphony-shares-a-virtual-performance\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Allegheny College Civic Symphony Shares a Virtual Performance\">Academics, Publications &amp; Research<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It doesn\u2019t have the same elegant backdrop as the stained-glass windows of Ford Chapel, and it doesn\u2019t enjoy the same acoustics as Shafer Auditorium in the Henderson Campus Center.

Dearden says: \u201cMyself and two other collegiate trumpet professors in western Pennsylvania were each searching for a creative way to present a recital to our respective college communities. The collaboration was originally meant to be for a single recital, but it was both a professional challenge and a great deal of fun, so we decided to keep it going, and the Northwest Passage Trumpet Trio was born.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group has performed at numerous venues around western Pennsylvania, and performed one of the works \u2014 \u201cNuvens de Junho\u201d by Fernando Deddos, which was written for the Northwest Passage Trumpet Trio and appears on their new album \u2014 at the 2019 International Trumpet Guild Conference in Miami, Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 outbreak has prevented the Northwest Passage Trumpet Trio from having a more traditional recital to celebrate the release of \u201cExpeditions,\u201d so instead they produced a brief virtual ensemble video, showcasing one of the tracks on the album, <a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1M_JinV_zFbNL13mylF3GhBbygC3oefPB\/view?ts=5ed16c51\">which you can access by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The trio recorded the tracks for the CD some time ago, and all the post-production for the CD was also complete before the pandemic. \u201cThe video, however, was created last month, with each of us in our separate homes, playing our own parts,\u201d says Dearden. \u201cWe did not need to rehearse for this particular project because it was a piece we knew very well and have performed several times.

Hepler also knows how to take a joke \u2014 something students have capitalized on lately on April Fools\u2019 Day. On April 1, 2018, members of the Allegheny Wind Symphony secretly distributed music to the \u201cSuper Mario Bros.\u201d theme song. While Hepler was prepared to conduct a symphony, he was surprised to be met with cartoon video game music. Thus, a tradition was born pranking Hepler every April Fools\u2019 Day.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16639\" style=\"width: 169px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/news\/files\/2019\/04\/IMG_9408-169x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16639\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Which one is the real \u201cDoc?\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>The plan for 2019 was a bit more complex, as it required a lifesize cutout of Hepler. The plan was as follows: Take a full body photograph of Hepler, submit it to a lifesize cardboard cutout company, and move the cardboard version of the beloved conductor into the ensemble. After Hepler recognized his own face in the crowd of his 90-plus students (all of whom he knows personally) a \u201ctake a picture with Doc\u201d day commenced. The twist? Students took their photos with the cutout version of Hepler. <\/p>\n<p>What does it take for students to be so comfortable with their professor that they can prank him? According to Katherine Hubert, a senior at Allegheny, \u201cThe fact that he\u2019s a friend and a mentor. He always says that \u2018he doesn\u2019t get mad, he gets even.\u2019 I\u2019m still waiting for him to get even for last year.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>To students, Hepler is more than just a professor; he is a mentor, a confidant, and most importantly, a friend. That said, Hepler\u2019s cheerful personality and interactive teaching style allows for far more than just pranks. It opens doors for students of any skill level to develop a love for music.  <\/p>\n<p>Hepler has spent 45 years at Allegheny. He works alongside his wife, Dr. Julie Hepler. It is often said that the Allegheny Music Department is like a family. These two take that in stride. \u201cStudents are the very reason I exist,\u201d Hepler said. \u201cIt\u2019s the reason faculty are here. \u2026 Students depend on faculty and faculty depend on students\u201d to demonstrate the symbiotic relationship he holds with students. <\/p>\n<p>Hepler never forgets the true reason he is here\u2013students. In fact, the student\u2019s are Hepler\u2019s most cherished part of his job. He loves the \u201cinteraction with the students\u201d and \u201cthe personal relationships you can have,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Clearly,  Hepler is more than just a professor, he is an integral part of the Allegheny community. His caring, fun-loving personality allows students to interact with him in and out of the classroom, whether that be as a mentor, or the target in a years\u2019 long prank war. The past two April Fools\u2019 Day were a success for the Allegheny Wind Symphony. It will be interesting to see their plans for 2020 unfold.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.allegheny.edu\/news\/2019\/04\/01\/allegheny-students-prank-their-favorite-professor\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Allegheny Students Prank Their Favorite Professor\">Academics, Publications &amp; Research<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many professors have great relationships with their students, but Lowell Hepler, chair of the Allegheny Music Department, fosters healthy ties with students for their entire time at Allegheny.
