SWS Story

The Beginning,

Back in 1975, Mr Mitsuo Nonami was seconded to Singapore to help in the development of local band directors. His vision was to share with the public an appreciation and understanding of the spectrum of sounds and variety of music in the symphonic wind medium. In 1977, the National Theatre Symphonic Band (NTSB) was formed under the National Theatre Trust. NTSB era,

🎢 In the Spring at the Time When Kings Go Off to War - David R. Holsinger 🎢
The piece uses a variety of musical idioms, from diatonic to β€œsound mass,” aleatoric to measured, vocal to synthetic. Holsinger has intertwined a tonal picture of the chaos, pathos, triumph, grief, faith, and tragedy in this composition.

Come hear for yourself compelling parts with singing and voices which adds some colours to the piece πŸ‘€πŸ‘‚

🎢 Divertimento - Oliver Waespi 🎢
Catch this diverse and exciting piece - Divertimento by Swiss composer, Oliver Waespi, which consists of 4 contrasting movements.

From an opening overture, it transits into a calm and meditative atmosphere with the oboe opening the movement. Next up is an upbeat Procession resembling a β€œsecond line” procession from New Orleans, with upbeat rhythms inviting everyone to dance in the streets. Hoedown, an American folk dance, is a fast and vivacious movement and ends the piece on a high note.
