The Symphonic Band’s second fall-quarter concert opens with Ralph Vaughan Williams’s monumental Toccata Marziale, which turned 100 this year. Joel Love’s Musica Dei, donum optimi is based on the music of Orlando di Lasso. Continuing the program is the wind band staple Suite française by Darius Milhaud. The performance concludes with Nicole Piunno’s Sunflower Studies, a symphony inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s fascination with sunflowers.
