Subject: Friday Seminar, February 3 with Randall Davidson
Submitter: Theresa L Martin, Administrative Assistant, Center for Teaching and Learning

Message:
"How to create parody or How I composed The Young Lutheran's Guide to the Orchestra with Garrison Keillor"
3:30-5 in Lindell 301

Music of humor and passion are the hallmarks of Randall Davidson's catalogue. His works have enjoyed hundreds of performances throughout the U.S. and Europe and have attracted the attention of critics , performers and audiences alike for their dramatic and accessible musical language. Davidson's catalogue encompasses nearly every genre: dozens of choral works, an opera, four ballets, an oratorio, a guitar concerto, chamber works, three orchestral works that have received over 200 performances, television commercials, incidental music for theater and puppets, a major sound installation to inaugurate the Minnesota Children's Museum, and music for jazz and wind ensembles.

Collaborations with Garrison Keillor have produced two successful large-scale works: The Young Lutheran's Guide to the Orchestra and a humorous oratorio, The History of Evil: Bible Families. The "Guide" has been performed throughout the U.S. and Europe, has been commercially recorded two times (by the Minnesota Orchestra and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra), and been cablecast on the Disney Channel. The "History" (five soloists, theatre orchestra and full mixed chorus) has received productions in Minnesota, Colorado and Ohio.

Refreshments are served at 3:30. The presentation begins at 4:00.
