Members of Phi Mu Alpha, a nationally recognized musical fraternity, performed their American Musicale Wednesday night at the Harriet Fulton Theatre.

The program kept the audience excited with its variety of sound, covering genres such as rock ‘n’ roll and choir.

“There were a lot of good pieces,” said Sarah Lemons, a senior Music Vocals major. “They were well performed.”

The program began with a performance of Howard Bass’s “Night Tide”, with Justin Condron playing trombone and Bryan Scott playing marimba. The combination of such different instruments created a unique sound with little or no coherent melody. It seemed that the two instruments were playing independently to their own tunes, only at times uniting together.

John Mayer’s “Daughters” was replaced by Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be,” creating a serious mood with its sentimental lyrics about love. It was presented by guitarist Adrian Baker and vocalist Josh Gatlin.

Quickly altering the tone, “The Roaring Twenties” by Paul Nagle brought about the fast-moving, happy atmosphere of the prosperous post-World War I years. It was played on large members of the wind instrument family like the tuba, horn and trombone.

The two choir performances of “Night Shadows Falling” by Friedrich Flemming and “Prayer of the Children” by Kurt Bestor created a solemn mood of tranquility in one and sadness for the dead children in the later.

The audience was truly revived to the sound of the electric guitar and drums and the lyrics of rock powerhouse A Perfect Circle’s “The Package.”

The evening was completed with “Sinfonian Parting Song,” marking the true connection of a fraternity.
