Not hard, but
very impressive, this
David Shaffer original is
perfect concert or
contest material for
mid-level bands. It
starts with a stately
fanfare introduction
which leads directly into
the furious section. This
section features a fast
tempo where several
playable yet independent
melody lines are
intertwined to create a
very busy yet pleasing
musical landscape. An
adagio section follows
before a reprise of the
furious section leads to
a big finish. A rewarding
work that is a welcome
addition to any
performance!

Composer Robert
W. Smith has enjoyed his
sojourns in the great
state of Texas each
summer since 1985. In a
recent visit to the
southwest with his
family, he was inspired
to sketch three
impressions of the Lone
Star State. Desert Dawn
opens the work with
Native-American overtones
depicting the warmth of
the sunrise over a
beautiful southwestern
vista. Anyone ever
visiting San Antonio will
delight in the Paseo Del
Rio depicting the light
and lively Riverwalk of
this great city. The
energetic and powerful
Longhorns concludes the
work with a sense of joy
while celebrating this
uniquely American way of
life. Suitable for
concert and festival
performance, Southwest
Summer will be a valued
addition to your next
program.

The
present work features a
kind of pentatonic music
that is often associated
with a far eastern
landscape. However, it
has no genuine
compositional connection
with Asian music. In this
piece pentatonicism is
conducive to frictionless
intervals and
transparency of sound;
these are produced in an
ideal manner on stringed
instruments by means of
natural harmonics. The
contrasting central
section brings dense
textures and sharp
dissonance, which sound
with full intensity and
combine with portamento
to produce extreme
emotional expression and
narrative gestures.

The one-movement fouth
string quartet (1971) has
a subtitle Quiet Songs
(Hiljaisia lauluja). In
contrast to the
splintered plurality of
the third quartet, the
fourth is a homogenous
minor-key landscape that
never rises above
mezzoforte. The subdued
resignation, somehow
recalling Shostakovich,
is interrupted only by a
few fleeting faster
sections.

In the late
summer months, the
Scottish countryside is
covered by the heather
flower. Purple in color,
it makes the otherwise
harsh landscape a place
of tranquil beauty. In
this adaptation of the
Scottish folk song Wild
Mountain Thyme, composer
Michael J.
Miller’s Purple
Mountain Heather captures
the serenity of the
Scottish moors in full
bloom. Flowing melodies
phrased with expressive
shaping are passed
throughout the ensemble,
creating heartfelt drama
for all to enjoy!

Natu
re and landscape have
been the dominant themes
of much of Rhian Samuel's
vocal music of the last
ten years, projected
chiefly through the
poetry of Anne Stevenson,
and in her most recent
song-settings, the
writings of the
Pakistan-born Texas-based
poet Zulfikar Ghose. His
poem 'Conspiracy of the
Clouds' describes how,
the clouds having chosen
to become invisible,
'Even the astronauts on
the space shuttle /
looked down on a
cloudless America' as
hurricanes ravage
Louisiana and storms
engulf Nebraska. An
intriguing conceit in the
tradition of magic
realism, the text is
presented as a scena
lasting around 16
minutes, with
interpolations from
'Haze' by the
nineteenth-century New
England transcendentalist
Henry David Thoreau. Thus
modern fable and romantic
nature-description are
juxtaposed, and their
interaction becomes the
source of musical
contrasts too. Thoreau's
words are assigned
predominantly to the
vocalist's highest
register, those of Ghose
to her lower tessitura;
and the suggestive and
dramatic accompaniment
builds tension steadily
to the final ironic
response of an
incredulous American
public: not one of awe
and wonder, but the
question 'Why weren't we
told about it?

The
Hida High School is in a
highland city called
Takayama in Gifu
Prefecture. Takayama City
has some of the highest
mountains in Japan,
atmospheric rows of
houses and streets, and a
beautiful landscape. The
magnificent views from
these mountains can be
described as a paradise
above the clouds. When
the composer visited
there in the summer of
2001, the lovely flowers
spreading through the
valley and the refreshing
air welcomed him. The
flowers looked as if they
were fashionably dressed
and fully enjoying
conversation and a short
summer at a reunion
party. The composer was
inspired by this scenery
to compose this piece.
The musical party opens
with happy greetings of a
reunion andjoyful themes
follow one after another.
A light xylophone solo, a
waltz and an adagio
featuring alternate solos
by alto saxophone,
euphonium and trumpet
lead to a brilliant
finale featuring brass
and percussion played in
irregular time. A
beautiful musical picture
that your band will enjoy
performing for many
years.
