The Odyssee
tells the story of
Odysseus, the undaunted
hero. In times long
ago the blind poet Homer
wrote this famous epic.
The Odyssey follows
the Iliad, the story of
the bloody war between
the Greek and the
Trojans. This battle
endsafter ten years
thanks to the Odysseys
famous trick. the Trojan
Horse. The Odyssey
is not a war epic, but a
story about perseverance,
loyalty, adventure, and
the survival instinct of
its ingenious hero.
In The Odyssey, Homer
describes howOdysseus,
the king of Ithaca, had
to endure another ten
years of affliction after
the ten years of war in
Troy before he could
finally return to his
home land. During
those years, his wife,
Penelope, had to try and
keep her many admirers
away.These men not only
wanted het hand but also
the kingship. To prove
her husbands worth, she
played a trick: As soon
as I have finished
weaving this shroud for
my father-in-law,
Laertes, I will choose
one of you to become my
husband, she
promisedthem. But
during the night, she
secretly loosened what
she had woven during the
day, prolonging the time
until Odysseus would
finally return. After
twenty long years, when
he finally stood at the
door, she wondered: Is
this really my husband?
Ishe an imposter?
Cunningly, she asked him
to move the bed, because
only she and her husband
know that the bed was
immovable and was build
around an old three
trunk! Odysseus was
deeply moved: this really
was his wife, his
Penelope! Nearly
threethousands years
later, the loyalty and
strength of this
character, and all the
dangerous adventures that
Odysseus survived thanks
to courage and
intelligence, still moves
us today.
Odyssee
by Jan Bosveld is not
just an adventure story,
butrather a
characteristic piece in
which memories of Homers
story can be heard.
The composition opens
with a firm, stirring
theme describing our
hero, Odysseus, in
detail: This man is not
to be taken lightly.
The further
development of thisshort
introduction completes
this character sketch:
trustworthy, perseverant,
and a genius. After
that we can picture
Odysseus on the lonely
beach of Ogygia. Do the
trumpets depict his
memories of the war of
Troy? Does he think of
his wife, as werecognise
the weaving loom of
Penelope in the murmuring
eighth? In the
solemn, plaintive part
that follows, we can
imagine Penelope feeling
lonely, sitting in the
womens room with her
servants.One of the girls
plays the harp, but that
does notclear the sombre
atmosphere. Then we can
imagine seeing the
sorceress Circe, who
changed Odysseus men into
swine. After she gives a
simple magic sign
something follows that
reminds us of the sound
of pigs grunting. Then
the Odysseus theme
resounds:the hero comes
to savi his comrades.
Assisted by Hermes, he
forces Circe to lift the
spell. The piece ends
the same way as it began,
with an animated theme:
Odysseus is still the
same, undefeated and not
to be taken
lighty!
Het
muzikale relaas van de
Griekse schrijver Homerus
over de held Odyssee in
een karakterstuk vol
herinneringen. Een
stevig opgewekt thema
symboliseert de
grootsheid van Odyssee en
zijn karaktertrekken -
betrouwbaar, volhardenden
vernuftig. De tegenslagen
welke hij tegenkomt en in
het tweede tragische
gedeelte dreigen te
escaleren, nemen in het
derde snelle gedeelte bij
zijn verschijning toch
weer een positieve
wending. Nijmegenaar
Jan Bosveld bewijstin dit
originele werk dat hij op
de hoogte is van de
onmogelijkheden, maar
vooral de ongekende
mogelijkheden van
muzikanten uit de lagere
afdelingen.

Appalachian
fiddle music, based on
the musical traditions of
the people who settled in
the mountainous regions
of the southeastern
United States, is
widely-known and played
throughout North America
and parts of Europe
because of its complex
rhythms, its catchy
melodies, and its
often-ancient-sounding
stylistic qualities. The
authors explore the lives
and music of 43 of the
classic Appalachian
fiddlers who were active
during the first half of
the 20th century. Some of
them were recorded
commercially in the
1920s, such as Gid
Tanner, Fiddlin? John
Carson, and Charlie
Bowman. Some were
recorded by folklorists
from the Library of
Congress, such as William
Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and
Marion Reece. Others were
recorded informally by
family members and
visitors, such as John
Salyer, Emma Lee
Dickerson, and Manco
Sneed. All of them played
throughout most of their
lives and influenced the
growth and stylistic
elements of fiddle music
in their regions. Each
fiddler has been given a
chapter with a biography,
several tune
transcriptions, and tune
histories. To show the
richness of the music,
the authors make a
special effort to show
the musical elements in
detail, but also
acknowledge that nothing
can take the place of
listening. Many of the
classic recordings used
in this book can be found
on the web, allowing you
to hear and read the
music together.

Garrop’s ROAD
WARRIOR is music of
real-life tragedy,
expressed through the
power of a trumpet/organ
duo. Drawing inspiration
from Neil Peart’s
autobiographical book,
“Ghost Rider:
Travels on the Healing
Road,â€
Garrop’s work
grieves the loss of a
friend’s young son
and the journey to
healing. ROAD
WARRIOR’s
evocative movement titles
are drawn from passages
in Peart’s book:1.
I Am the Ghost Rider2. My
Little Baby Soul3. Are
You With Me
Here?. When Clarion
members Keith Benjamin
(trumpet), Melody Steed
(organ), and I initially
discussed possible topics
for a new piece, Keith
brought up his son
Cameron, who had passed
away at the age of seven
from leukemia. While
Cameron’s life
ended too soon, he left
an indelible and lasting
mark on his those
surrounding him. Keith
asked if I could
commemorate Cameron
musically.In talking over
possible ways to do this,
Keith mentioned the book
Ghost Rider: Travels on
the Healing Road. The
book was written by Neil
Peart, who is well-known
as the longtime drummer
and lyricist of the band
Rush. Peart suffered the
heartbreaking loss of his
daughter in 1997,
followed by his wife 10
months later. In an
effort to work through
the grieving process,
Peart did what his wife
suggested before she
passed: he got onto his
motorcycle and hit the
open road. Ghost Rider
chronicles a year of
Peart’s life in
which he drove for 55,000
miles, zigzagging his way
across Canada, the
western portion of the
United States, Mexico,
and Belize.
Peart’s powerful
story illustrates how he
coped with immense loss
and eventually emerged on
the other side to once
again embrace life. Keith
had found Peart’s
book helpful in dealing
with Cameron’s
death; moreover, Mr.
Peart sent Cameron a
signed cymbal while he
was in the hospital
undergoing treatment.
This unexpected gesture
of compassion and
generosity meant the
world to both Cameron and
Keith.I chose three
phrases from
Peart’s book to
serve as the inspiration
for the movements in Road
Warrior. In the first
movement, I am the ghost
rider, I imagined the
performers to be howling
phantoms that are
haunting drivers on a
nearly deserted highway.
Peart often mentioned
that he felt haunted by
ghosts from the past
while on his journey, and
sometimes felt like a
ghost himself, moving
through an immaterial
world as he rode from
town to town. The second
movement, My little baby
soul, references
Peart’s wording to
define his own inner
essence that he was
trying to protect and
nurture while on his
journey. In this gentle
movement, I capture the
innocence and simplicity
of a newborn soul. The
piece concludes with Are
you with me here? In this
movement, I depict the
performers as they search
to find connections to
those they have lost, and
to those still
living.Over the course of
his travels, Peart kept
up a steady letter
correspondence with his
close friend Brutus. In
one of his first letters,
he repeatedly asks Brutus
if he is with him in
spirit. I found it to be
very poignant that while
in his self-imposed
exile, Peart discovered
that he still needed
connections to humanity.I
wish to thank Mr. Peart
for granting me
permission to use his
phrases as the movement
titles, and for serving
as the inspiration for
Road Warrior. Rarely do
any of us make it through
our lives without being
touched by the loss of
someone dear to us. I
found Peart’s
insights into his
grieving and recovery
process to be insightful,
eloquent, and
surprisingly comforting.
His journey is a touching
reminder that with enough
fortitude and time, we
can work through what
fate deals us and
continue down our own
road of life.

The
Soldier’s Wife
is a short and simple
piece commissioned by the
Singapore Ministry of
Education. It was
originally intended as a
compulsory piece for the
2012 Singapore Youth
Festival. Because many
school bands in Singapore
are incomplete, the
composer was specifically
asked to create a work
that could equally be
played by a limited
ensemble—which
explains various doubled
and optional parts. The
warm tones of a melodic
passage open this short
work: the wife of the
wooden soldier sings a
kind of lullaby. This
lyrical section is
followed by a more
powerful part which is,
however, based on the
same melodic material.
The rhythm, syncopated at
times, infuses
thissection with a
particular energy. The
harmony, too, has some
surprising
turns—and we must
never lose sight of the
restrictions imposed by
the limited level of
difficulty of the piece.
Although the work begins
softly and sweetly, much
more ‘feminine
energy’ is
projected by the close.
The
Soldier’s Wife
is een kort en eenvoudig
werkje dat is geschreven
in opdracht van het
Singaporese ministerie
van Onderwijs. Het was
aanvankelijk bedoeld als
verplicht werk voor het
Singapore Youth Festival
2012. Omdat
veelschoolorkesten in
Singapore een onvolledige
bezetting hebben, kreeg
de componist het
nadrukkelijke verzoek om
het werk zo vorm te geven
dat het ook met een
beperkt ensemble
uitgevoerd kan worden:
dat verklaart een aantal
verdubbelingenen
instrumenten ad
libitum.Een warme,
melodische passage opent
dit korte werkje: de
vrouw van het - houten -
soldaatje zingt als het
ware een wiegeliedje.
Nadat dit lyrische deel
is afgerond, volgt een
energieker gedeeltedat
qua melodisch materiaal
op dezelfde bouwstenen is
gebaseerd. De hier en
daar gesyncopeerde
ritmiek verleent dit deel
een bijzondere energie,
en ook harmonisch zijn er
een paar verrassende
wendingen - waarbij
rekening is gehoudenmet
de beperkingen die
verbonden zijn aan werken
voor dit muzikale niveau.
Begon het werkje zacht en
liefelijk, aan het slot
is er heel wat meer
‘girl power’
voelbaar!
The
Soldier’s Wife
ist ein kurzes, einfaches
Werk, das im Auftrag des
Bildungsministeriums von
Singapur geschrieben
wurde. Es war zunächst
als Pflichtstück
für das Singapurer
Jugendfestival 2012
gedacht. Da viele
Schulblasorchester in
Singapur unvollständig
besetzt sind, bat man den
Komponisten
ausdrücklich, das Werk
so zu gestalten, dass es
auch mit einem begrenzten
Ensemble gespielt werden
könne: Dies erklärt
einige Verdopplungen und
optionale Instrumente.
Eine warm klingende,
melodische Passage
eröffnet dieses kurze
Werk: Die Frau des -
hölzernen- Soldaten
singt eine Art
Wiegenlied. Nach diesem
lyrischen Abschnitt folgt
ein kraftvollerer Teil,
der aber aufdemselben
melodischen Material
aufbaut. Der hier und da
synkopierte Rhythmus
verleiht diesem Teil eine
besondere Energie und
auch harmonisch gibt es
einige überraschende
Wendungen - wobei immer
an die auferlegten
Beschränkungen durch
den Schwierigkeitsgrad
gedacht werden muss. Ist
das Werk zu Beginn noch
leise und lieblich, ist
zum Schluss doch schon
wesentlich mehr weibliche
Energie“
spürbar...!
“Guarda,
è la moglie del
soldato di legnoâ€!
All’inizio, canta
una dolce ninnananna, che
precede una sezione
più potente dai ritmi
sincopati e con
sorprendenti cambiamenti
di armonie. The
Soldier’s Wife
inizia in modo calmo e
dolce per poi trovare
un’energia
tipicamente femminile
verso il finale. The
Soldier’s Wife
è un brano breve e
semplice, perfetto anche
per formazioni a organico
ridotto grazie alle parti
raddoppiate e
opzionali.

Avalo
n–Long Live the
King is a medieval
fantasy piece depicting
the Isle of Avalon where
the mystical sword
Excalibur of King Arthur
was forged. Composer
Tyler Arcari unearths a
solid piece for young
bands that is both bold
and dramatic. This piece
is sure to spark the
imagination of students
and give them strong
musical content with
which they can develop
their
musicianship. Program
Notes:Avalon–Long
live the King began its
journey as a commission
in honor of a dear friend
and mentor. David Riggs
is one of those band
directors that just seems
timeless. He is a
powerhouse with such a
stacked resume that it is
easy to forget that at
the end of the day he
enjoys taking long bike
rides with his lovely
wife and whittling a
piece of wood just as
much as being a band
director. He has touched
so many lives and
inspired so many people
in our field and beyond.
I was humbled, and
honored, when I was
contacted for the
commission. To David, I
hope that you one day
know how much you mean to
so many people, including
myself.About the
piece:The piece is
written with a little
homage to David’s
long tenure at Avalon
Middle school in Pace,
Florida. He was certainly
treated like a king as
the band director and
rightly so. It seemed
only fitting to add a
little medieval fantasy.
Avalon is a mystical
island in the world of
King Arthur where the
great sword Excalibur was
forged.The piece begins
lyrically with a slow
introduction with melodic
material. This melodic
motive is used throughout
with slight variations
depending on the
instrument voicing etc.
Care should be taken at
m. 10 that the Timpani
roll helps to bridge our
transition from an
exposed section to full
tutti. Care should be
taken so that the tempo
change at m. 19 is brisk
and avoids the low brass
turning into stomping.
Accessories like the
China cymbal and
tambourine can become
overpowering. I recommend
having students think of
these effects as
background in order to
make sure they
don’t POP out. The
dynamic changes at mm.
27-35 should be subito
similar to orchestral
dynamic changes. Avoid
unwritten crescendos in
this section. Measures
60–64 are a great
opportunity to teach
those unwritten dynamics
that make music so
enjoyable as we lead up
to the finale. It was
originally left blank for
some theatrics in the
premiere at
David’s retirement
concert so I know he
would enjoy adding some
Cholesterol as David
would say.Long Live the
King!
