of Night and Light
University of Central Arkansas Wind Ensemble Dr. Michael Hancock, Conductor
of Night and Light features the University of Central Arkansas Wind Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Michael Hancock. Anchored by the massive Sinfonia by Zhou Tian, the album opens with the deeply introspective Fantasia on a Theme of Robert Schumann and concludes with the brilliantly colored Apricity by Hillary Purrington. Spanning moments of reflection, power, and radiant energy, the program showcases the ensemble’s expressive range and technical virtuosity. Together, these works create a compelling musical journey that moves from shadow into illumination.
