SONATA
CHO-CHO-SAN(Based on
themes from
Puccini’s Madama
Butterfly)In the spirit
of the great 19th-century
opera fantasies for
woodwinds, Michael
Webster has created a
concert trio on the many
great arias from
Puccini's Madama
Butterfly. However, as
its name implies, Sonata
Cho-Cho-San is not the
typical virtuosic
operatic potpourri.
Rather, it follows the
plot, resembling a sonata
mirroring Puccini's use
of recurring and
developing themes.
Webster makes the most of
the winds as versatile
performers - equally
suited to deliver
Puccini's beautiful vocal
writing, and to ornament
and embroider the
poignant themes in
symphonic style. For
advanced
performers.______________

Fant
asia Nova is a suite
comprising two concert
marches and a slow,
middle movement that
derives its themes from
both marches. Ragtime
(composed in early
September, 1978) is a new
from old sort of piece.
Although its tunefulness
and harmonies have an
old-fashioned character,
its structure,
development, and
orchestration are unusual
for a march. In the
chorale section (measures
111 - 148) the band
director must be very
careful in balancing, for
each of the elements must
come through. More
important is that the
audience be brought up by
this section -- filled
with a joyous exaltation;
great attention must be
paid to sonority and the
band must play earnestly.
Ragtime stands on its own
and may be performed
separately. Dreams
(composed in late
September, 1978) is the
traditional march of the
two. It is very closely
modeled (in structure
only) to Sousa's Stars
and Stripes Forever. It
even includes a tricky
piccolo solo, although
the accompaniment has a
chorale texture, almost
like a school alma mater.
This march has a
patriotic, inspirational
sound, because it was
composed for the town of
Irondequoit, New York --
for a Town March contest
held by the town's
community concert band.
It did not, so far as I
know, become the town's
march; one can hear the
name, Irondequoit,
throughout the Trio, for
every turn of the melody
(in fact, each group of
four notes) fits the
accent pattern
(Ih-RON-dih-kwoit) of the
town's name. Parade
stands on its own as a
complete work and may be
performed separately.
