The University atAlbany sits at the confluence of the Hudson andMohawkriversonthetraditionallandsoftheKanien’keháka and Muh-he-con-neok people, who stewarded this land for generations before the arrival of European colonists.The Kanien’keháka (People of the Flint) and Muh-he-con-neok (PeopleoftheWatersthatareNeverStill)aremorecommonly knowntodayastheMohawkHaudenosauneeandStockbridgeMunsee Band of Mohicans. Despite the similarity of their westernized names, the Mohawk and Mohican were culturally and linguistically distinct.
The UAlbany community recognizes that we live and work on the homelands of sovereign Indigenous nations with rich histories and cultures that continue today – both within NewYork and beyond.
As an institution devoted to teaching, scholarship, and service, we strive to understand and learn from our history and to affirm Indigenous rights and issues.To this end, we are committed to cultivating reciprocal relationships with Indigenous communities focused on equity, social justice, and sustainability – and dismantling legacies of colonization.

PAUSE
UAlbany Concert Band
Barnum and Bailey’s Favorite Karl L. King King wrote this march for the 32-piece Barnum and Bailey Circus Band in 1913 at the request of its director, the noted minstrel show cornetist, Ned Brill. King was 22 at the time and was preparing to join the band as a euphonium player. The
euphonium part in this march (and in most of his other marches) shows his love for that instrument -- he liked to hear the countermelody part "romping around." His use of the word "favorite" in the title was a good choice. In a 1980 international Music survey, Barnum and Bailey's Favorite ranked fourth in the top 140 marches.
El Camino Real (A Latin Fantasy) Alfred Reed
El Camino Real (literally "The Royal Road" or "The King's Highway") was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, the 581st Air Force Band (AFRES) and its commander, Lt. Col. Ray E. Toler. Composed during the latter half of 1984 and completed in early '85, it bears the subtitle "A Latin Fantasy."
The music is based on a series of chord progressions common to countless generations of Spanish flamenco (and other) guitarists, whose fiery style and brilliant playing have captivated millions of music lovers throughout the world. These progressions and the resulting key relationships have become practically synonymous with what we feel to be the true Spanish idiom. The first section of the music is based upon the dance form known as the Jota, while the second, contrasting section is derived from the Fandango, but here altered considerably in both time and tempo from its usual form. Overall, the music follows a tradition three-part pattern: fast-slow-fast.
Godzilla Eats Las Vegas! Eric Whitacre
This piece is presented as a soundtrack for a hypothetical script that pits the “Big Guy” against the city of Las Vegas -- a geographically unlikely locale, given this reptile’s amphibious origins. In this treatment, Godzilla’s character returns to his most malevolent. His most prominent victims are known for their music and are representative pillars of Las Vegas society. In the end, however, it is a hero long thought gone from this earth who saves the day and dispatches the beast to his demise ... or so we think.
