Looking Up,
Moving On was
commissioned by the Tokyo
Kosei Wind Orchestra and
was part of a tour
programme they gave in
May 2012, a tour which
included many areas that
had been devastated by
the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami.The theme of the
piece is the powerful
ability of mankind to
overcome such disasters
and look forward to a
positive future; it opens
in an appropriately
optimistic mood,
featuring bright
orchestral colours and
extensive syncopation. A
chorale-like fanfare is
soon introduced on horns
and euphonium, answered
by chirpy woodwinds. The
mood subsides until an
alto saxophone introduces
a brief quotation from
the composer's The Sun
Will RiseAgain, which
was written to raise
funds for victims of the
2011 disaster. The mood
soon changes and the
horns introduce a noble
theme under woodwind
flourishes. This leads to
the main Vivo
section of the piece
which is characterised
again by strong
syncopations as part of a
florid theme in the low
woodwinds. This melody
undergoes varied
development by all
sections of the band
until the horn fanfare
returns triumphally on
the brass. This is
extended and leads to a
faster coda which brings
together previous
material in counterpoint
to close the work in
optimistic mood.
Looking Up,
Moving On is
gecomponeerd in opdracht
van het Tokyo Kosei Wind
Orchestra. Het werk
maakte deel uit van een
programma uit mei 2012,
dat werd uitgevoerd
tijdens een tournee
waarbij veel regio's
werden bezocht die waren
verwoest door de
aardbeving en tsunami van
2011.Het thema van het
werk is het buitengewone
vermogen van de mens om
dergelijke rampen te
boven te komen en vooruit
te kijken naar een
positieve toekomst. De
opening is dan ook
optimistisch van
karakter, met heldere
orkestrale kleuren en een
rijkelijke syncopering.
Al snel wordt er een
koraalachtige fanfare
geintroduceerd door de
hoorns en het euphonium,
waarop een levendig
antwoord volgt in
dehoutblazerssectie. De
sfeer wordt dan steeds
kalmer totdat een
altsaxofoon een kort
citaat laat horen uit een
eerder werk van de
componist, The Sun
Will Rise Again, dat
werd geschreven om geld
in te zamelen voor de
slachtoffers van de ramp
uit 2011. De stemming
slaat vlug weer om: de
hoorns introduceren een
nobel thema, dat
weerklinkt onder
versieringen in het hout.
Dit leidt naar het Vivo,
het hoofdgedeelte, dat
eveneens wordt gekenmerkt
door sterke
syncoperingen, als
onderdeel van een
sierlijk thema in het
lage hout. De melodie
ondergaat een gevarieerde
ontwikkeling binnen alle
secties van het orkest,
totdat de hoornfanfare op
triomfantelijke wijze
terugkeert in het koper.
De fanfare wordt
vervolgens verder
uitgewerkt en voert ons
mee naar een snellere
coda, die voorafgaand
materiaal in contrapunt
samenbrengt en de
compositie in
optimistische stemming
afsluit.
Looking Up,
Moving Down wurde vom
Tokyo Kosei Wind
Orchestra in Auftrag
gegeben und war Teil des
Konzertprogramms einer
Tour im Mai 2012, welche
viele Gebiete einschloss,
die vom Erdbeben und
Tsunami im Jahr 2011
zerstort worden waren.
Thema dieses Stuckes ist
die gewaltige Fahigkeit
der Menschheit, uber
solche Katastrophen
hinwegzukommen und voll
Optimismus in die Zukunft
zu blicken; es beginnt
dementsprechend in einer
positiven Stimmung mit
strahlenden
Orchesterfarben und einer
ausgepragten
Synkopierung. Schon bald
wird eine choralartige
Fanfare auf den Hornern
und im Euphonium
vorgestellt, die von
munteren Holzblasern
beantwortet wird. Die
Stimmung flaut ab, bis
einAltsaxophon ein kurzes
Zitat aus The Sun Will
Rise Again anspielt,
das der Komponist zur
Spendenbeschaffung fur
die Opfer des Unglucks
2011 geschrieben hatte.
Kurz darauf folgt ein
Stimmungswechsel und die
Horner prasentieren ein
stattliches Thema,
begleitet von Fanfaren in
den Holzblasern. Dies
fuhrt zum mit Vivo
uberschriebenen Hauptteil
des Stuckes, der wiederum
von starken
Synkopierungen gepragt
ist, die Teil eines
bluhenden Themas in den
tiefen Holzblasern sind.
Diese Melodie durchlauft
eine vielgestaltige
Entwicklung durch alle
Instrumentengruppen des
Blasorchesters, bis das
Blech mit der Hornfanfare
triumphal zuruckkehrt.
Dies wird erweitert und
fuhrt zu einer
schnelleren Coda, in dem
verschiedenes zuvor
gehortes Material
kontrapunktisch
zusammenkommt, um das
Werk in einer
optimistischen Stimmung
zu beenden.

retour triomphant de la
fanfare soutenue par les
cuivres. Celle-ci se
prolonge pour mener a une
coda plus rapide qui
rassemble les elements
precedents en contrepoint

Roya
l Coronation Dances is
the first sequel to the
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
both being settings of
dance music originally
arranged by Gervaise in
the mid 16th-century (the
next sequel is The
Renaissance Fair, which
uses music of Susato and
Praetorius). Fanfare Ode
& Festival has been
performed by many tens of
thousands of students,
both in high school and
junior high school. I
have heard that some of
them are amazed that the
music they are playing
was first played and
danced to over 400 years
ago. Some students tend
to think that music
started with Handel and
his Messiah to be
followed by Beethoven and
his Fifth Symphony, with
naught in between or
before of consequence.
Although Royal Coronation
Dances is derived from
the same source as
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
they are treated in
different ways. I
envisioned this new suite
programmatically -- hence
the descriptive movement
titles, which I imagined
to be various dances
actually used at some
long-ago coronation. The
first movement depicts
the guests, both noble
and common, flanked by
flag and banner bearers,
arriving at the palace to
view the majestic event.
They are festive, their
flags swirling the air,
their cloaks brightly
colored. In the second
movement, the queen in
stately measure moves to
take her place on the
throne as leader and
protector of the realm.
In the third movement,
the jesters of the court
entertain the guests with
wild games of sport.
Musically, there are
interesting sonorities to
recreate. Very special
attention should be given
to the tambourine/tenor
drum part in the first
movement. Their lively
rhythms give the movement
its power. Therefore they
should be played as
distinctly and
brilliantly as possible.
The xylophone and
glockenspiel add clarity,
but must not be allowed
to dominate. Observe
especially the differing
dynamics; the intent is
to allow much buzzing
bass to penetrate. The
small drum (starting at
meas. 29) should be
played expressively, with
attention to the notated
articulations, with the
brass light and detached,
especially in a lively
auditorium. It is of some
further interest that the
first dance is extremely
modal. The original is
clearly in G mixolydian
mode (scale:
G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G).
However, other editors
might put in F-sharps in
many places (changing the
piece almost to G major),
in the belief that such
ficta would have been
automatically put in by
the 16th-century
performers as they
played. I doubt it. I
have not only eschewed
these within the work,
but even at the cadences.
So this arrangement is
most distinctly modal
(listen to the F-naturals
in meas. 22 and 23, for
instance), with all the
part-writing as Gervaise
wrote it. In the second
movement, be careful that
things do not become too
glued together. In the
16th century this music
might have been played by
a consort of recorders,
instruments very light of
touch and sensitive to
articulation. Concert
band can easily sound
heavy, and although this
movement has been scored
for tutti band, it must
not sound it. It is
essential, therefore,
that you hear all the
instruments, with none
predominating. Only when
each timbre can be heard
separately and
simultaneously will the
best blend occur, and
consequently the greatest
transparency. So aim for
a transparent, spacious
tutti sound in this
movement. Especially have
the flutes, who do this
so well, articulate
rather sharply, so as to
produce a chiffing sound,
and do not allow the
quarter-notes to become
too tied together in the
entire band. The entrance
of the drums (first
tenor, then bass) are
events and as such should
be audible. Incidentally,
this movement begins in F
Major and ends in D
Minor: They really didn't
care so much about those
things then. The third
movement (one friend has
remarked that it is the
most Margolisian of the
bunch, but actually I am
just getting subtler, I
hope) again relies upon
the percussion (and the
scoring) to make its
points. Xylophone in this
movement is meant to be
distinctly audible.
Therefore, be especially
sure that the xylophone
player is secure in the
part, and also that the
tambourine and toms sound
good. This movement must
fly or it will sink, so
rev up the band and
conduct it in 1 for this
mixolydian jesting. I
suppose the wildly
unrelated keys (clarinets
and then brass at the
end) would be a good
16th-century joke, but to
us, our
put-up-the-chorus-a-half-
step ears readily accept
such shenanigans.

A stunning
and heart-wrenching
composition based on the
Jewish folk son Shlof,
Mayn Kind. You can
hear the emotional
content pour out of this
piece written in memory
of an outstanding
orchestra director. The
piece beginnings with
original material to set
the tone, followed by
a clarinet solo on the
song. It then develops
through a variety of
different harmonic
presentation before
building to a nice key
change and climatic
moment. The piece ends as
it began, but with a more
hopeful tone. An amazing
piece. Sleep, My Child
was commissioned by the
Madison Middle School
Band and Orchestra in
Tampa, Florida, and is
dedicated to the memory
of their Director of
Orchestras Kevin Frye.
Director of Bands Chris
Shultz championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor Kevin
after he passed away in
December 2016. Mr. Frye
was a beloved member of
the staff at Madison
Middle as well as the
music community of Tampa
and the state of
Florida. I was a
personal friend of
Kevin’s. We were
in several musical groups
together when we were
young that were formative
to both of our musical
careers. I also guest
conducted his Madison
Middle School Orchestra
several times over the
past four years. His
musicianship, teaching
skills and love for his
students were
exemplary.When taking on
the challenge of writing
a piece to honor
Kevin’s legacy,
Mr. Shultz and I decided
to try and include
several important aspects
of Kevin’s life
into the piece. Kevin was
proudly Jewish, a
fantastic trumpet player
and loved Jazz. With that
in mind, and after a lot
of research, a Jewish
folk song Shlof, Mayn
Kind was selected as the
basis for the piece, not
to be religious, but to
honor his faith and
heritage. Plus it is a
beautiful song, and I
felt the title reflected
the sentiment I was
looking to express, which
is of someone taking rest
after a long battle with
illness. Thus, a lullaby
seemed appropriate.I also
wanted to incorporate
Jazz into the piece, but
in a concert setting, so
you will hear as the
piece develops, the
harmonies of the folk
song expand into ones
found more commonly in
Jazz compositions. Not
in a far out way, but in
a subtle way to again
honor this part of his
life. For example the
climactic moment of the
piece at the fermata in
m. 57 is a Dbmaj9#11
chord. It appropriately
give the piece the angst
that I was looking for at
this moment in the piece,
while honoring the
importance of Jazz in
Kevin’s musical
life.The piece was also
conceived to include both
the Madison band and
orchestra in the
performance at the
premiere. I wanted the
pieces to work separately
by the band and
separately by the
orchestra, but I also
wanted them to be able to
play the piece together
to honor Kevin.The piece
begins with original
material designed to set
the mood of the piece
with a tempo/style
marking of pensive, but
also as material that I
used as connective
musical tissue between
statements of the folk
song. After this
introduction, the folk
song is presented by a
solo violin (or clarinet)
with orchestral
accompaniment in a simple
straight forward
presentation of the song.
This is followed by a
woodwind section
statement of the folk
song accompanied by muted
trumpets. During this
presentation the harmony
starts to expand with
more color notes in the
chords. The low brass are
added half way through
this statement to add
depth and lushness.The
introductory material
returns, but with some
angry hits in the lower
voices. This leads to a
full ensemble state of
new material that is used
to transition to the
climax of the piece, and
to build tension. After
the build, the piece
modulates to a shortened
statement of the folk
song with more advanced
harmonies and an active
counter line in the
violas, horns, saxes and
first clarinets to
further build the
tension. This tension
is released at the
fermata in m. 57, as
mentioned above. After a
thoughtful pause, the
piece concludes with a
completion of the folk
song again with a solo
violin (or clarinet)
followed by a return of
the introductory material
to tie the piece
together. The piece ends
hopeful, with a solo
trumpet (Kevin’s
instrument) that is
dissonant at first, but
then resolves as if to
say - everything will be
OK! It has been my
distinct honor to have
been asked to write this
piece in Kevin’s
memory! I hope that in
some small way the piece
helps to bring comfort to
his family, students,
colleagues and to all
those that knew
him!–Larry

Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National

Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

The work
opens with a stern
fanfare in bare fifths,
which leads to a
cantabile theme
introduced by alto
saxophone. This builds to
a climax and reintroduces
the fanfare, which slowly
evolves into the
subsequent vivo. A perky
tune emerges on flute,
saxophone and trumpet,
which, after a short
bridge passage, leads to
a contrasting melody on
low clarinets and
saxophones. After some
development a true
‘second
subject’ appears
for the whole band. A
recapitulation leads
briefly back to the
opening fanfare before
the vivo returns to close
the work in celebratory
mood.

Jour
ney back to ancient
Greece and view a place
of long-gone legend.
Follow the trail to the
Kingdom of Ithaca, from
the heroic palace, to a
place of tranquility, to
a reckless dance of
abandon, to the return of
Odysseus. The melodic
material used in 200 B.C.
is from a two thousand
year old Greek hymn to
Apollo. The legendary
adventures of Odysseus as
described by Homer in the
Odyssey (ca. 700 B.C.)
provide the programmatic
material. The music is
freely based upon the
First Delphic Hymn (or
Paen to Apollo), composed
ca. 200 B.C. The source
is a transcription
appearing on pages 363 -
367 of Ancient and
Oriental Music, Edited by
Egon Wellesz (Oxford
University Press: London,
1957). Each movement of
the work depicts a key
event in the epic Homeric
poem, as described below.
Movement I: Intrada - The
first four notes of this
movement, C - Bb - G -
Bb, are the melodic and
harmonic foundation for
the entire work. These
pitches, introduced in a
simple and direct manner,
are subsequently
developed in more complex
fashions throughout the
suite. Following this
stately introduction is a
militaristic fanfare that
introduces the
dotted-eighth and
sixteenth-note figure
later reprised in the
second and fourth
movements. Indeed, all
the musical ideas which
will be central to the
remaining movements first
appear in the Intrada.
This movement depicts the
grandeur of Odysseus and
his kingdom in Ithaca,
and establishes the
heroic mood of the entire
work. Movement II: Ballad
- After a brief
restatement of the
opening
dotted-eighth-and-sixteen
th fanfare, the second
movement extracts the
falling third (Bb to G)
from the C - Bb - G - Bb
motif and extends it and
expands it into a
haunting solo for alto
saxophone. The C - Bb - G
- Bb motif appears again
(see measures 23 - 33 in
trumpets) as counterpoint
to this melody, now
pulsing through the thick
texture of the band. Many
performers have come to
view the Ballad as the
emotional epicenter of
the entire suite; my
conception of the Ballad
is to achieve a union of
pathos and strength.
Programmatically, this
movement depicts
Odysseus's son,
Telemachos, as he both
longs for Odysseus's
return and stoically
defends his father's
kingdom. Movement III:
Dance - It will take
Odysseus twenty years to
return to Ithaca. During
his absence, noblemen
besiege his palace,
violating the sanctity of
the household and seeking
the hand of his wife,
Penelope. This movement
depicts the wanton
revelries that result.
The original four-note
motif is chromatically
altered and the meter is
made irregular. The rapid
tempo, driving
percussion, and angular
meter and melodies
combine in an explosion
of reckless abandon.
Movement IV: March
Building from a delicate
woodwind ensemble
accompanied by finger
cymbals to a fully
orchestrated statement
replete with thundering
percussion, this is a
resounding march of
victory. Odysseus has
returned in triumph to
restore dignity to his
household and to reclaim
the throne of the Kingdom
of Ithaca. Ensemble
