Friday Night at Fred Fox
Friday, March 5, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.

Tonight we feature the UA percussion performing a riveting quartet, Professor Morris Palter on solo snare, and a choral performance led by conductor Huang He. Please read below for more details on some of the pieces.

Notes from "Sevenly Reward" composer Bob Becker (featured performer: Morris Palter)
Bob writes, "During 2005/2006 I composed a series of eight etudes for solo snare drum, which were included in my book Rudimental Arithmetic (published in 2008 by Keyboard Percussion Publications). In 2019, at the request of Morris Palter for a solo drum set piece, I elaborated Etude #7 to include bass drum played with foot pedal, and hi-hat cymbals. The etude is set in septuple meter throughout, and the title 'Sevenly Reward' is a reference to the 7/4 time signature. The piece is comprised of five sections. The first introduces and develops an intricate motive in quadruple subdivision. The second part changes to a contrasting theme in triple subdivision followed by a further development of the initial motive. The fourth section presents the traditional “double- stroke roll” in diminishing note values but configured to remain in septuple meter. A short coda restating the motive from the first section concludes the piece."

The University of Arizona Fred Fox School of Music presents the 39th Annual Sholin Guitar Competition, honoring the memory of Norman Douglas Sholin (1951-1980).

Norman Douglas Sholin founded and designed the guitar degree program at the University of Arizona School of Music [and Dance] in 1974. He earned a BFA (1974) and an MFA (1978) in classical guitar from the California Institute of the Arts. He studied with teacher and musicologist Emilio Pujol in Cervera, Spain in 1972 and 1973 and played in a master class for Andrés Segovia in 1973.

The University of Arizona has become a major international center for the study of classical guitar. The Norman Douglas Sholin Memorial Scholarship Award, which is presented annually, promotes excellence in this segment of the arts. Through their gifts, donors honor the students that qualify for it, as well as the memory of Mr. Sholin, whose love for the guitar and its music still brings inspiration.

For additional information about the Norman Douglas Sholin Scholarship Fund contact Tom Patterson, professor of guitar, rtp@email.arizona.edu, 520-621-1157.
