The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

In 2011,
Barbara Garrop, my
mother, commissioned me
to write a piano trio in
memory of Norman Garrop,
my father, who passed
away about thirty years
ago. When I started
brainstorming about
topics for the piece, I
found it difficult to
recall many moments of my
early life involving my
father. Too many years
had passed, and the
memories that I could
summon were of achild
looking up to her father,
not an adult relating to
an equal. However, while
collecting stories of my
father from various
family members, along
with discovering a number
of objects that had once
belonged to him and that
I had stored away in
boxes decades ago, I
began to realize that
this piece wasn't so much
about my father as it was
about my re-discovering
the man that he was: a
loving husband and dad
who cared deeply about
his family and his
passions (which included
bike riding, collecting
coins, strumming our
guitar, playing baseball,
watching football games,
entertaining people,
helping to run local
theater and puppet
productions, and carving
objects out of wook); an
accountant who dreamed of
a better future: a
treasurer of our local
synagogue; an early
advocate for computers
(we owned an Apple II+);
and a pranster with a
great sense of humor.
Ultimately, I decided to
musically tell the story
of my search for these
memories. In the first
movement (Without), a
child calls out in a
sing-song voice,
searching for her lost
parent. This search
intesifies over the
course of the movement
through a series of
themes, including a
stepping motif in which a
two-note progression
steadily climbs higher, a
pseudo-jewish folksong,
and a passionate longing
theme. The child's search
becomes increasingly
intense throughout the
movement, calling out
fervently and repeatedly
to the parent; the
movement ends in a moment
of great tnesion and
uncertainty. The second
movment (Within) quietly
opens with the lost
parent finally answering,
represented by a solo
cello; the child (now
personified by the
violin) has found the
parent within the
sanctuary of her own
heart. This movement
highlights the joy and
solemnity of this
beautiful discovery.

Conte
xtures: Riots -Decade '60
was commissioned by Zubin
Mehta and the Southern
California Symphony
Association after the
successful premiere of
the Concerto for Four
Percussion Soloists and
Orchestra. It was written
during the spring and
summer months of 1967.
Riots stemming from
resentment against the
racial situation in the
United States and the war
in Vietnam were occurring
throughout the country
and inevitably invaded
the composer's creative
subconscious.
Contextures, as the title
implies, was intended to
exploit various and
varying textures. As the
work progressed the
correspondence between
the fabric of music and
the fabric of society
became apparent and the
allegory grew in
significance. So I found
myself translating social
aspects into musical
techniques. Social
stratification became a
polymetric situation
where disparate groups
function together. The
conflict between the
forces of expansion and
the forces of containment
is expressed through and
opposition of tonal
fluidity vs. rigidity.
This is epitomized in the
fourth movement, where
the brass is divided into
two groups - a muted
group, encircled by the
unmuted one, which does
its utmost to keep the
first group within a
restricted pitch area.
The playful jazzy bits
(one between the first
and second movements and
one at the end of the
piece) are simply saying
that somehow in this age
of turmoil and anxiety
ways of having fun are
found even though that
fun may seem
inappropriate. The piece
is in five movements,
with an interlude between
the first and second
movements. It is scored
for a large orchestra,
supplemented by six
groups of percussion,
including newly created
roto-toms (small tunable
drums) and some original
devices, such as muted
gongs and muted
vibraphone. There is also
an offstage jazz quartet:
bass, drums, soprano
saxophone and trumpet.
The first movement begins
with a solo by the first
clarinetist which is
interrupted by
intermittent heckling
from his colleagues
leading to a
configuration of large
disparate elements. The
interlude of solo violin
and snare-drum follows
without pause. The second
movement, Prestissimo, is
a display piece of
virtuosity for the entire
orchestra. The third
movement marks a period
of repose and reflection
and calls for some
expressive solos,
particularly by the horn
and alto saxophone. The
fourth movement opens
with a rather lengthy
oboe solo, which is
threatened by large
blocks of sound from the
orchestra, against an
underlying current of
agitated energy in the
piano and percussion.
This leads to a section
in which large orchestral
forces oppose one
another, ultimately
bringing the work to a
climax, if not to a
denouement. Various
thematic elements are
strewn all over the
orchestra, resulting in
the formation of a
general haze of sound. A
transition leads to the
fifth movement without
pause. The musical haze
is pierced gently by the
offstage jazz group as if
they were attempting to
ignore and even dispel
the gloom, but a legato
bell sound enters and
hovers over both the jazz
group and the orchestra,
the latter making
statements of disquieting
finality. Two films were
conceived to accompany
portions of Contextures.
The first done by Herbert
Kosowar, was a
chemography film
(painting directly into
the film using dyes and
various implements) with
fast clips of riot
photographs. The second
was a film collage made
by photographically
abstracting details from
paintings of Reginald
Pollack. The purpose was
to invoke a non-specific
response - as in music -
but at the same time to
define the subject matter
of the piece. The films
were constructed to
correspond with certain
developments in the piece
and in no way affect the
independence and musical
flow of the piece, having
been made after the piece
was completed.

March of
the Robot Army was
commissioned by Linda
Anzolin & Giordano-Bruno
Tedeschi for Campobanda
2019, with funds made
available by JUST ITALIA.
Campobanda is an Italian
summer music camp for 8-
to 18-year-olds (held
inCamposilvano in 2019)
which has a different
theme every year. The
theme for 2019 was
‘science
fiction’, so
composer Philip Sparke
chose to write a robot
march. After a quirky
introduction featuring
trumpet calls and
chromaticfigures, the
main theme appears in a
minor mode on clarinet
and tenor sax and is then
taken up by the full
band. A change of key
heralds a new theme, led
by the trumpet and again
repeated by the full
ensemble. A further
change ofkey introduces a
legato
‘trio’
melody over a rather
robotic accompaniment:
instruments are added bit
by bit until a climax is
reached. Small motifs
from the introduction
then lead back to a full
recapitulation,
revisiting thefirst two
themes in new guises
before finishing the
march with a
flourish.
March
of the Robot Army
werd geschreven in
opdracht van Linda
Anzolin & Giordano-Bruno
Tedeschi voor Campobanda
2019: de financiering
werd mogelijk gemaakt
door JUST ITALIA.
Campobanda is een
Italiaans zomermuziekkamp
vooracht- tot
achttienjarigen (dat in
2019 werd gehouden in
Camposilvano) met elk
jaar een ander thema. Het
thema voor 2019 was
sciencefiction, dus
besloot componist Philip
Sparke een robotmars te
schrijven. Na een
grilligeinleiding met
trompetsignalen en
chromatische motieven
verschijnt het hoofdthema
in mineur op klarinet en
tenorsax, waarna het door
het hele orkest wordt
overgenomen. Een
verandering van toonsoort
kondigt een nieuw thema
aan, weeringeleid door de
trompet en herhaald door
het volledige ensemble.
Een verdere
toonsoortverandering
introduceert een legato
‘triomelodieâ€
boven een nogal
robotachtige begeleiding:
er worden stapsgewijs
instrumenten toegevoegd
totde muziek uitmondt in
een hoogtepunt. Korte
figuren uit de inleiding
nemen ons dan mee naar
een volledige herneming,
met een terugkeer naar de
eerste twee
thema’s in een
nieuwe gedaante, waarna
de mars in stijl wordt
afgesloten.

einerskurrilen Einleitung
mit Trompetenrufen und
chromatischen Figuren
erklingt in Klarinetten
und Tenorsaxophonen das
Hauptthema in Moll, das
dann vom gesamten
Orchester aufgegriffen

kündigt ein neues
Thema an,das von der
Trompete vorgestellt und
anschließend vom
gesamten Ensemble
wiederholt wird. Ein
weiterer Tonartwechsel
führt zu einem
melodischen, legato
gespielten Trio-Abschnitt
über einer
roboterhaften Begleitung.
Nach und nachkommen
weitere Instrumente
hinzu, bis der
Höhepunkt erreicht
ist. Kleine Motive aus
der Einleitung führen
dann zu einer Reprise,
wobei die ersten beiden
Themen in neuer Gestalt
wieder aufgegriffen
werden, bevor der Marsch
zum Endehin noch einmal
musikalisch
aufblüht.
