Program Notes: Stylistically diverse -- tranquil, spirited pastoral, sensitive, energetic -- exhibiting a remarkable palette, the five movements of SINFONIA IX form a unique symphonic statement. Movement I, Prelude, is about contrasts: A lazy, smooth, motive in brasses alternates with, and then joins, an active and detached motive in woodwinds. The spirited Movement II, Morley's Ghost, is an intricate canonic collage and homage to that venerable theoretician & composer, Thomas Morley. By contrast, movement III, Dialog, speaks in a relaxed, lyrical, and pastoral language as it develops its gently rising and falling motives. Movement IV, Waltz, innocently celebrates the joys of childhood with a lilting melody and rondo form. For the rousing Finale, Movement V begins with a martial call of repeated-notes, heralding a headstrong journey of power and excitement. Like a number of the composer's other works, SINFONIA IX is based on earlier material: A brass sextet, written in 1966 when the composer was nineteen years old, forms the raw material for the first, third and fifth movements, while a later work, Martin's Waltz (a children's piece for flutes and clarinets composed in 1975) is the basis of the fourth movement. The second movement, however, is a fanciful contrapuntal commentary on Thomas Morley's 16th-century canzonet, Fire and Lightning. SINFONIA IX is dedicated to John Raforth, a distinguished band director and music educator at West High School in Madison, Wisconsin. The work was commissioned by his friends and former students, and was completed in 1977. Its first publication some twenty years later is a result of the increasing attention paid by university band directors to the earlier Sinfonias, particularly Sinfonia III (Hymns and Dances); Sinfonia V (Sinfonia Sacra et Profana); and now, Sinfonia IX. Whereas the first two works are wind ensemble compositions that have been championed equally by the concert band, Sinfonia IX is the composer's first college-level Sinfonia written especially for concert band.

Commissioned by the Opus 21 ensemble, this mixed sextet is a musical realization of Chinese clay figurines of the Eastern Han (25-220 A.D.). Shapes of the enraptured storyteller, the vivid acrobat, and the moving dancers are in highly exaggerated forms and postures, in large and sweeping movements — the innocent and bold images symbolize the strength, motion, and speed, as the beauty of the crude and primitive power of humanity in its conquest of the material world.The mixed sextet The Han Figurines is a musical realization of my impression of the Chinese clay figurines of the Eastern Han (25-220 A.D.).  Have you seen the shapes of the enraptured storyteller, the vivid acrobat, and the moving dancers with long sleeves?  They are in highly exaggerated forms and postures, in large and sweeping movements — the innocent and bold images symbolize the strength, motion, and speed.  It’s the beauty of the crude and primitive power of humanity in its conquest of the material world.—Chen Yi.

Note from the composer: For a number of years I had been thinking of writing a piece based on the sound of plucked Instruments like the mandolin, guitar and harp, so when the Dutch Nieuw Ensemble asked me for a piece I realised that this group had excellent players of these three Instruments to which I added trumpet, trombone and vibraphone and composed a one-movement Fantasy whose Dutch titles was chosen by the ensemble (meaning moods). The score opens with a fast movement that presents each Instrument in brief solos between moments for the entire group. This is followed by a slow movement during which the mandolin picks out a line of short notes. A guitar solo accompanied by the group follows and the work concludes with a coda for the sextet. The music was composed during the early summer of 1997 in Southbury, Connecticut. - Elliott Carter -.

<> was originally a failed attempt to compose a solo oboe piece for my noye cycle. For the solo the name le sexe du noye was intended, and the few measures of sexe-tuor were my first attempt to compose a piece in which more complex rhythms would result in a kind of proportional multiplication of individual fragments from the sextet (hence the French sextuor) le retour du noye. This proved to be monstrously complicated and absurd. Thus, the ten measures of the <> fragment represent a capitulation in the face of these complications, presented as the interruption of an immovable column of air in a frozen multiphonic sound. In the event, the solution to the problem was quite simple: Beginning with the composition of le sexe du noye the proportionalities of the pitch levels and rhythmic values revealed significant rhythmic possibilities. sexe-tuor remains as it is: a solo piece that can function in another compositional context, as an intermezzo between other, larger works on a concert program. The 90 second piece of music can be played in two versions: either for solo piccolo or solo oboe. Score available separately - see item CA.1631800.
