Raritan Valley Symphonic Band Fall Concert “Jubiloso”
Franklin High School 500 Elizabeth Ave, Somerset, NJ, United StatesRaritan Valley Symphonic Band Fall Concert “Jubiloso” The Raritan Valley Symphonic Band returns to Franklin to start its 41st season with its Fall concert, “Jubiloso”, on Sunday November 5 at 3 PM. Under the direction of Frank Amato, the concert will be held at Franklin High School, 500 Elizabeth Avenue, Somerset, NJ where the RVSB performed a well-attended concert last April. Admission is free! “Jubiloso” is a musical term used to direct musicians to perform in a jubilant or exalted manner. Throughout the upcoming season, the RVSB will be jubilantly performing works from its initial concert in March 1984. For this Fall concert, the RVSB will perform a musical journey of the history of the Concert Band through some of its most popular composers. The concert begins with one of America’s most popular marches: E.E. Bagley’s National Emblem March. Next is Percy Grainger’s Irish Tune from County Derry using the theme from the traditional old air “O Danny Boy” with colorful sonorities, straightforward accessibility, and a memorable climax. The band will then perform two concert band standards: Frank Erickson’s Toccata for Band and Robert Pearson’s Minuteman March. The first half concludes with Eric Osterling’s regal arrangement of March & Procession
Raritan Headwaters Lantern Walk
Raritan Headwaters Lantern Walk Raritan Headwaters continues the tradition of celebrating a historic European festival celebrating autumn at the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of the harvest. Festive music plays as we carry our lanterns through the meadows of Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve on a moonlit night. The first day of the fall time change can seem unsettling, with sunset arriving an hour earlier. But there’s a bright side to the earlier night: Raritan Headwaters Association’s (RHA) annual Lantern Walk! This year’s Lantern Walk will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 5 – the same day clocks are set back an hour – at RHA’s Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve at 2121 Larger Cross Road, Bedminster. The Lantern Walk is modeled after a traditional European festival celebrating the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of the autumn harvest. Festive music plays as revelers carry glowing lanterns through the meadows of Fairview Farm Wildlife Preserve on a moonlit night. “Lantern Walk is a fun and magical celebration for all ages, as we light up the night by parading with colorful lanterns on Fairview Farm’s beautiful meadow trail,” said Cindy Ehrenclou, RHA’s executive director. “Over the
