Puck's Game is inspired by the actions of Shakespeare's mischievous sprite, Puck, the fairly-like jester from A Midsummer Night's Dream. The music reflects Puck's playful and restless nature through leaping gestures, frolicking motives and restless rhythmical figures. While there is a moment in the work when Puck exudes a more tender side, his truly impish nature quickly returns at the conclusion of the piece.

I wrote this piece with a darker sonority and an emphasis on lyricism, qualities that I associate with the viola. In the first movement, titled Fantasia, the viola begins with a quiet and free cadenza, becoming more passionate until the woodwinds join in dialogue with the soloist. Gradually the rest of the orchestra enters, exploring ideas from the solo cadenza while introducing a new theme that reappears in the last movement. The second movement is a scherzo, mischievous in mood with the orchestra and viola trading barbed jokes. The antics are interrupted by a brass chorale with embellishment from the viola. The scherzo then resumes with prominent contributions from the bassoons. The last movement, titled Nocturne, plays with different kinds of music associated with the night. A sensual and romantic atmosphere gives way to something more menacing and ultimately violent. After a climax from the full orchestra, soft strings and solo viola lead us into the coda, taking an ambiguous idea from the first movement and transforming it into a lyrical and heartfelt prayer. The concerto ends with the solo viola ascending on the crest of an orchestral wave of sound.

Composed by J. Johnson. Young Concert Band. Command Series. Score and set of parts. Composed 2020. Duration 3 minutes, 33 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #011-4889-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.011-4889-00).

A Haunted Trilogy is guaranteed to become a favorite for student and audience alike. Set as a trilogy of three short movements, your band can play one for a quick novelty piece, or all three as a divertimento or program music. March of the Gremlins opens the suite with an eerie march. Tarantella For Trolls continues the spooky musical fun with a slightly twisted little dance. Goblin’s Gavotte closes our haunted suite with an ominous romp. It’s mischievously impish, looming, conniving, and a great learning piece for chromatics in three different styles. Boo!
