Highland Dawn portrays a sunrise in the Scottish Highlands, where stunning mountain scenery and clear air create a special atmosphere. A faster central section describes the area coming to life as the day begins, using the Scotch 'snaps' which are characteristic of traditional bagpipe music; but the serenity of the opening returns to bring the work to a peaceful close.

Maxime Aulio composed Les Voyages de Gulliver (Gulliver’s Travels) for the concert band of the Conservatoire National de Région in Toulouse (France) conducted by Jean-Guy Olive. The first performance took place in Toulouse (Auditorium Saint-Pierre des Cuisines) on April 25, 2001. The Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) took about six years to complete his epic tale of adventure. The creative storyline, clear writing and subtlety of Gulliver’s Travels have been engaging readers for generations. This literary travel between reason and foolishness was Maxime Aulio’s inspiration for this piece. Each of the four movements of this suite is a review of Gulliver’sadventures, resembling the effect of a kaleidoscope, which juxtaposes small fragments of colour in a linear pattern. Jonathan Swifts satirischer Roman Gullivers Reisen - eine literarische Reise zwischen Vernunft und Verrücktheit - regte auch die Phantasie des Komponisten Maxime Aulio an. Seine Suite für Blasorchester besteht aus mehreren kurzen, teilweise wie eine Kette aneinander gereihten Sätzen. Zyklisch in veränderter Form wiederkehrende Motive und Themen beschreiben Gullivers Gedanken und Gefühle oder auch Landschaften und Personen, die ihm unterwegs begegnen.1. Voyage Lilliput • 2. Voyage Brobdingnag • 3. Voyage Laputa/Voyage Balnibarbi; l’Académie de Lagado/Voyage Glubbdubdrib, l’île des Magiciens /Voyage Luggnagg; Les Struldbruggs • 4. Voyage chez les Houyhnhnms / Maxime Aulio a composé Gulliver's Travels (Les Voyages de Gulliver) pour l’Orchestre d’Harmonie du Conservatoire National de Région de Toulouse placé sous la direction de Jean-Guy Olive. L’œuvre a été donnée en création mondiale le 25 avril 2001, l’Auditorium Saint-Pierre des Cuisines de Toulouse, par la formation dédicataire.Vers 1720, lorsque Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), écrivain irlandais d’origine anglaise, envoie Lemuel Gulliver,un vieux chirurgien malicieux, la découverte de contrées extraordinaires, il débute en réalité l’écriture d’un roman satirique sur la vanité, la morale et l’hypocrisie de la société humaine. L’utopie littéraire était alors l'unique moyen d’éviter la censure. Mais en écrivant ce livre, dont la rédaction dura six ans, Swift eut le temps de m rir ses idées, si bien que sa réflexion grinçante sur la condition humaine est toujours d’actualité. Le génie imaginatif, la finesse d’esprit et la prose simple qui caractérisent Les Voyages de Gulliver ont fasciné des générations de lecteurs. Ce voyage littéraire entre raison et folie s’est également arrimé dans l’imaginaire de Maxime Aulio qui nous offre avec sa suite en quatre mouvements, une vision musicale des pérégrinations de Gulliver, la manière d’un kaléidoscope qui juxtapose de petits fragments de couleur dans une trame linéaire.

Inspired by the memory of an influential music educator, Carol Brittin Chambers has woven a multitude of grooves, colors, and uplifting themes into To Create a Voice. Chambers has attempted to convey distinct moods and emotions that this educator tried to instill in his students. In honor of this dynamic teacher, you will hear Hot Cross Buns cleverly placed throughout the composition.To Create a Voice was commissioned by the Valley Concert Band in Stockton, California. The piece premiered in October 2017, in memory and celebration of Chris Anderson, a local musician and educator.When writing this piece, I tried to convey certain moods and emotions throughout: soulful at the beginning with calm woodwind chords and solo trombone; increased energy throughout the various sections of the piece; exploration of different grooves and colors; an uplifting, emotional ending that leaves the listener with a sense of how positive and loving Chris was.This piece is largely inspired by a specific quote from Chris:Most people would consider the sounds students first make on their instruments to be cringe-worthy, but to me that’s music to my ears, because that’s the first time students put a voice to their instrument. Over time those voices become stronger; they become clear, more confident, and get to a point where they use those voices to communicate with each other, and to their audiences.To relate to the first notes on the instrument idea, I used motifs based on the first notes most beginners ever play, do-re-mi, which are introduced at the beginning of the piece with the trombone solo, Chris’ instrument. During the section at m. 15, the brass introduce a chorale that I named Chris’ Theme while the woodwinds keep reminding us of do-re-mi. Later in the piece (mm. 71 and 79), I use these notes again, but in reverse, which becomes a reference to the first song most beginners learn, Hot Cross Buns. This section is also meant to portray Chris’ quirky and joking side. In mm. 75 and 83, Chris’ Theme presents itself again a couple of times in response to Hot Cross Buns.Toward the end, at the uplifting moment (m. 97), do-re-mi is heard again, but this time in harmony with mi-fa-sol. This represents the ultimate satisfaction we all feel as musicians when we have finally progressed enough to play in harmony with others. The half-time feeling in 3 at that moment also has significance, relating (rhythmically) to those important three notes again.I really hope you enjoy performing and listening to this piece as much as I have enjoyed creating it!
