The word
‘tsunami’ is of
Japanese origin. When you
look it up in a
dictionary, you will find
that it means ‘a great
sea wave produced by
submarine earth movement
or volcanic eruption’.
A megatsunami is the
superlative of this
awesome expressionof
power that nature can
create, and has
catastrophic
consequences.
When Carl Wittrock
completed this
composition not many such
big earth movements had
occurred, but since then
we have become all too
familiar with the
disastrousconsequences
which a tsunami may
have. On the 26th of
December 2004 a heavy
seaquake took place near
the Indonesian island of
Sumatra. Tidal waves 10
meters in height ravaged
the coastal regions of
many countries for miles
around. The tsunamitook
the lives of thousands of
people and destroyed many
villages and
towns.
There are
more areas which run the
risk of being struck by a
tsunami, such as the
island of La Palma, one
of the Canary Islands.
This island is based on
oceaniccrust at a
fracture zone and as such
is one of nature’s time
bombs. The consequences
of a natural calamity
like a megatsunami are
immense. In the case
of La Palma, the tidal
wave will move in the
direction of South
America, where it may
reach 50km inland,
destroying everything on
its way.
In his
composition Wittrock
describes an ordinary day
which will have an
unexpected ending.
Right from the
beginning there seems to
be something in the air,
the music creating an
oppressiveatmosphere of
impending disaster.
Themes are interrupted,
broken off suddenly,
followed by silence,
suggesting the calm
before the storm.
Suddenly a short
climax (glissandi in the
trombone part) indicates
the seaquake, and the
megatsunami isa fact.
Hereafter follows a
turbulent passage
symbolising the huge
rolling waves. After
nature’s force has
spent itself, resignation
sets in and the
composition ends with a
majestic ode to
nature.
Het woord
tsunami is afkomstig uit
het Japans. Het
woordenboek geeft als
betekenis: een vloedgolf
als gevolg van een
onderzeese aardbeving.
Een megatsunami is de
overtreffende trap van
deze vorm van

gevolgen.
Toen
Carl Wittrock deze
compositie voltooide
waren er nog niet veel
voorbeelden van
dergelijke grote
bevingen, maar inmiddels
weten we maar al te goed
welke desastreuze
gevolgen een tsunami kan
veroorzaken. Op 26
december 2004 vond ereen
zware beving plaats in de
zee nabij het
Indonesische eiland
Sumatra. Vloedgolven van
wel 10 meter hoog
teisterden de kuststreken
van menig land in de
verre omtrek. De tsunami
eiste duizenden
mensenlevens en
verwoestte vele dorpen
ensteden.
Er zijn
meer gebieden waar sprake
is van een directe
dreiging, zoals op het
eiland La Palma, één
van de Canarische
eilanden. Dit eiland ligt
op een breukvlak en is
daarmee een tijdbom van
de natuur. Bij een
calamiteit als
eenmegatsunami zijn de
gevolgen niet te
overzien. In het
geval van La Palma
begeeft de vloedgolf van
enkele honderden meters
zich richting Zuid
Amerika met alle gevolgen
van dien. Tot ongeveer 50
kilometer landinwaarts
heeft de megatsunami
eenallesverwoestende
werking.
In de
compositie schetst
Wittrock een gewone dag
die ongewoon zal aflopen.
Al vanaf het begin hangt
er iets in de lucht en is
er sprake van een
dreigende, beklemmende
sfeer. Themas worden
onderbroken
doorplotselinge
afbrekingen en stiltes.
Opeens is daar de korte
climax (glissandi in
trombones) die de beving
symboliseert en de
megatsunami is een feit.
Een onrustig gedeelte
vangt aan, daarmee de
rollende, voortstuwende
golven symboliserend. Na
hetnatuurgeweld is er
berusting en The Power of
the Megatsunami wordt
afgesloten met een
majestueuze ode aan de

Paul Dukas
(1865-1935) was a
composer who had little
self-confidence and was
very self-critical. As a
result of this he
destroyed the manuscripts
of all but seven large
and five small works.
Luckily kept what is now
his best know
composition, the
symphonic scherzo
L’apprenti sorcier
(The Sorcerer’s
Apprentice). He also came
very close to destroying
the manuscript of his
ballet music La Peri (The
Fairy). This was however
rescued by his friends.
Thus we can still enjoy
this magnificent fanfare
which was originally used
as an opener for the
ballet. This magnificent
transcription for fanfare
band will make a great
opening item for any
concert.

The Sirens
were sea nymphs, usually
pictured as part woman
and part bird, who lived
on a secluded island
surrounded by rocks.
Their enchanting song was
irresistible to passing
sailors, who were lured
to their deaths as their
ships were destroyed upon
the rocks. The Lovely
Sirens presents three
ideas: the Sirens'
beautiful song, an
unfortunate group of
sailors whose course
takes them near the
island, and the disaster
that befalls the sailors.
The sailors' peril is
represented by the Morse
code S.O.S. signal (three
dots, three dashes, and
three dots--represented
musically by short and

signal grows increasingly

Stephansdom is
a new composition,
descriptive of the iconic
St. Stephan's Cathedral
in central Vienna. Ryan
Diefendorfer wrote this
work for the Indiana
University Trombone
Ensemble for Bass
Trombone solo and
Trombone Choir (6-part)
to be performed by Carl
Lenthe at the 2012
Eastern Music Festival.
Ryan's work was awarded
the winner of the 2012
Eastern Trombone Workshop
National Composition
Competition.
St.
Stephen's Cathedral, also
known as Stephansdom, is
one of Vienna's most
remarkable city icons.
Dating back to 1137,
Stephandsom towers above
the rest of Vienna's
skyline and has been a
constant presence in the
lives of the Viennese for
nearly one thousand
years. Among the
buildings that the
Viennese find closest to
their hearts, Stephansdom
is certainly one of
them
I.
Groundbreaking The
first movement depicts
the troubles that St.
Stephen's Cathedral had
in getting its
groundbreaking as a
church. The opening of
the piece marks the
celebration of the
Viennese when St.
Stephen's was first
constructed in 1137,
during the Romanesque
era. However, the church
faced many
issues—from being
destroyed by the
Babenberg Empire to being
decimated by a
fire—before the
church began its
construction in the
Gothic style in 1307. The
first movement depicts
these struggles before
resolving to an open
chord.
II.
Steffl Steffl, the
nickname for
Stephansdom's soaring
north tower, is one of
the characteristics of
the cathedral that the
Viennese find so
endearing. This movement
is very upbeat and is
meant to portray the
excitement shared by the
Viennese for this
beautiful addition to
Stephansdom, which was
completed in 1433.
Stephansdom's north tower
is the tallest structure
in Vienna, and distinctly
stands out within
Vienna's
skyline.
II
I. 1945 As World War
II was coming to a close
in 1945, Stephansdom's
roof caught fire from a
neighboring building,
destroying large portions
of the church. One climax
occurs at m.30, which
depicts Stephansdom's
great bell, the Pummerin,
crashing down to the
ground. This movement
depicts the chaotic
nature of the raging fire
of
1945.
IV.
Anton Pilgrim Anton
Pilgrim was the last, and
perhaps most beloved,
architect who worked on
St. Stephen's Cathedral
in the Gothic style. One
of his most famous
projects was the St.
Stephen's organ loft,
which is depicted by an
opening organ-like canon.
The final movement to the
piece ends in a
chorale-like fashion,
demonstrating the
Viennese's love for Anton
Pilgrim, as well as
Stephansdom, one of
Vienna's most iconic
sights.
This
work of 12 minutes in
length is appropriate for
advanced performers.
Paul Dukas
(1865-1935) was a
composer who had little
self-confidence and was
very self-critical. As a
result of this he

woordenboek geeft als
betekenis: een vloedgolf
als gevolg van een
onderzeese aardbeving.
Een megatsunami is de
overtreffende trap van
deze vorm van
natuurgeweld en heeft
catastrofalegevolgen.
Toen Carl
Wittrock deze compositie
voltooide waren er nog
niet veel voorbeelden van
dergelijke grote
bevingen, maar inmiddels
weten we maar al te goed
welke desastreuze
gevolgen een tsunami kan
veroorzaken. Op 26
december 2004 vond er een
zware beving plaats in de
zee nabij het
Indonesische eiland
Sumatra. Vloedgolven van
wel 10 meter hoog
teisterden de kuststreken
van menig land in de
verre omtrek. De tsunami
eiste
duizendenmensenlevens en
verwoestte vele dorpen en
steden.
Er zijn
meer gebieden waar sprake
is van een 'directe'
dreiging, zoals op het
eiland La Palma, één
van de Canarische
eilanden. Dit eiland ligt
op een breukvlak en is
daarmeeeen tijdbom van de
natuur. Bij een
calamiteit als een
megatsunami zijn de
gevolgen niet te
overzien. In het
geval van La Palma
begeeft de vloedgolf van
enkele honderden meters
zich richting Zuid
Amerika met alle
gevolgenvan dien. Tot
ongeveer 50 kilometer
landinwaarts heeft de
megatsunami een
allesverwoestende
werking.
In de
compositie schetst
Wittrock een 'gewone' dag
die ongewoon zal aflopen.
Al vanaf het begin hangt
er iets in delucht en is
er sprake van een
dreigende, beklemmende
sfeer. Thema's worden
onderbroken door
plotselinge afbrekingen
en stiltes. Opeens is
daar de korte climax
(glissandi in trombones)
die de beving
symboliseert en de
megatsunamiis een feit.
Een onrustig gedeelte
vangt aan, daarmee de
rollende, voortstuwende
golven symboliserend. Na
het natuurgeweld is er

the war of 1812 after
much of Washington had
been destroyed, the
British army proceeded
toward the Baltimore
harbor, which was guarded
by Fort McHenry. To block
the ensuing army,
American troops had sunk
several ships to
barricade the entry into
the harbor. This forced
the British to bombard
Fort McHenry from a great
distance. On the night of
September 13, American
prisoners on a British
ship watched the fire in
the night sky as the
British army bombarded
Fort McHenry. After many
hours of continuous
bombing, the British
decided to leave, unable
to destroy the fort.

The word
‘tsunami’ is of
Japanese origin. When you
look it up in a
dictionary, you will find
that it means ‘a great
sea wave produced by
submarine earth movement
or volcanic eruption’.
A megatsunami is the
superlative of this
awesome expression of
power that nature can
create, and has
catastrophic
consequences.
When Carl Wittrock
completed this
composition not many such
big earth movements had
occurred, but since then
we have become all too
familiar with the
disastrous consequences
which a tsunami may
have. On the 26th of
December 2004 a heavy
seaquake took place near
the Indonesian island of
Sumatra. Tidal waves 10
meters in height ravaged
the coastal regions
ofmany countries for
miles around. The tsunami
took the lives of
thousands of people and
destroyed many villages
and towns.
There
are more areas which run
the risk of being struck
by a tsunami, such as the
island of La Palma, one
of the Canary Islands.
This island is based on
oceanic crust at a
fracture zone and as such
is one of nature’s time
bombs. The consequences
of a natural calamity
like a megatsunami are
immense. In the case
of La Palma, the tidal
wave will move in the
direction of South
America, where it may
reach 50 km inland,
destroying everything on
its way.
In his
composition Wittrock
describes an ordinary day
which will have an
unexpected ending.
Right from the
beginning there seems to
be something in the air,
the music creating an
oppressive atmosphere of
impending disaster.
Themes are interrupted,
broken off suddenly,
followed by silence,
suggesting the calm
before the storm.
Suddenly a short
climax (glissandi in the
trombone part) indicates
the seaquake, and the
megatsunami is a fact.
Hereafter follows a
turbulent passage
symbolising the huge
rolling waves. After
nature’s force has
spent itself, resignation
sets in and the
composition ends with a
majestic ode to nature.

The
Mythology Suite consists
of three movements of my
Mythology Symphony, which
I arranged for large wind
ensemble. The
arrangements of The
Lovely Sirens and
Penelope Waits were
commissioned by James
Ripley and Carthage
College for the Carthage
Wind Orchestra's 2017
Japan tour. I added
Pandora Undone to
complete the set; Stephen
Squires and the Chicago
College of Performing
Arts gave the premiere of
the entire Suite in
February 2017. Movement
1: The Lovely Sirens The
Sirens were sea nymphs,
usually pictured as part
woman and part bird, who
lived on a secluded
island surrounded by
rocks. Their enchanting
song was irresistible to
passing sailors, who were
lured to their deaths as
their ships were
destroyed upon the rocks.
The Lovely Sirens
presents three ideas: the
Sirens' beautiful song,
an unfortunate group of
sailors whose course
takes them near the
island, and the disaster
that befalls the sailors.
The sailors' peril is
represented by the Morse
code S.O.S. signal (three
dots, three dashes, and
three dots--represented
musically by short and
long rhythms). The S.O.S.
signal grows increasingly
more insistent and
distressed as it becomes
obvious that the sailors,
smitten with the voices
of the Sirens, are headed
for their demise.
Movement 2: Penelope
Waits This quiet movement
represents Queen
Penelope, the faithful
wife of Odysseus, as she
patiently waits twenty
years for her husband's
return from fighting the
Trojan Wars. Penelope
herself is represented as
an oboe. She is
accompanied by the
ensemble as she keeps at
bay the suitors who wish
to marry her and inherit
her riches. Movement 3:
Pandora Undone This
movement is, in turns,
both lighthearted and
serious. The music
depicts a young, naive
Pandora who, while
dancing around her house,
spies a mysterious box.
She tries to resist
opening it, but her
curiosity ultimately gets
the best of her. When she
cracks the lid open and
looks inside, all evils
escape into the world.
Dismayed by what she has
done, she looks inside
the box once more. She
discovers hope still in
the box and releases it
to temper the escaped
evils and assuage
mankind's new
burden. The Mytholo

The
cantata Erforsche mich
Gott und erfahre mein
Herz BWV 136 was composed
in Bach's first year as
Kantor of St. Thomas's in
Leipzig and was first
performed on the 8th
Sunday after Trinity, the
18th July 1723. The
librettist is unknown.
The title of the cantata
is taken from verse 23 of
Psalm 139: Erforsche mich
Gott und erfahre mein
Herz; prufe mich und
erfahre, wie ich's meine.
(Search me, O God, and
know my heart: try me,
and know my thoughts) The
opening chorus forms an
extended fugue, framed by
string writing bursting
with energy. The
obbligato horn
accentuates and enriches
the movement with a
special tonal color. The
alto aria in F sharp
minor (movement 3)
comprises a trio movement
with an oboe d'amore as
solo instrument in a
contrasting range - a
presto middle section
which dramatically
charges the words Denn
seines Eifers Grimm
vernichtet (For the fury
of its zeal will
destroy). In the duet
(movement 5) the text is
sung by tenor and bass
line by line, sometimes
imitating contrapuntally,
and sometimes both
singing together
dramatically in
homophonic writing. A
simple chorale setting to
the melody Auf meinen
lieben Gott concludes the
cantata. Particularly
charming here is the
violin which joins the
four vocal parts as an
independent part.
