Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

Based on our
popular New Bennett Band
Book series, we have
compiled march-style
warm-ups in a separate
publication so they may
be used by all bands
wishing to learn from
them. These innovative
warm-ups and fundamental
drills are the ultimate
method of teaching and
reinforcing the March
style. How To Use the
March Warm-upsPlaying in
a march style can present
difficulties for young
students. The most
prevalent problem is that
students have a tendency
to play every note too
short. Conversely,
accented notes are
usually played
incorrectly with too much
tongue. Do marches
contain short notes?
Absolutely, but these
shortest of notes should
be reserved for notes
that precede an accent or
notes that are
specifically marked with
a staccato. Think of
unmarked notes as being
separated, but not short
and certainly not clipped
or stopped with the
tongue. Accented notes
should be played with
more weight using air and
more length, and not just
a harder tongue. Accents
are given to show
emphasis to a note and
should be thought of in
this manner.The warm-up
exercises provided in
this collection should
give you many
opportunities to stress
the above-mentioned
comments on march
performance style. The
following gives an
explanation on the
purpose and use of each
of these exercises.No. 1
– Basic Chords and
ModulationsOne of the
challenges of playing
marches with young
students is successfully
performing the key change
at the Trio. This
exercise presents the
three basic chords
(tonic, subdominant and
dominant) in each of the
three keys in this
collection of marches.
You can also use this
exercise to teach and
reinforce the style of
accented notes. You may
want to have your band
play major scales in
succession by fourths to
reinforce the concept of
modulation to the
subdominant that occurs
at the Trio (i.e. the
B≤-major scale,
then the E≤-major
scale, then the
A≤-major scale). I
might suggest getting the
students to try
continuing the pattern
all the way around the
circle of fourths.No. 2
– March Style in
B≤ MajorThis
exercise contains many
opportunities to teach
and reinforce the
difference between
staccato and accented
notes. The melody voices
move up and down the
B≤-major scale,
while other instruments
play chords commonly
found in the marches in
this collection. These
include diminished
chords, secondary
dominant chords (i.e. the
V of the V) and other
common chromatic chords
that Fillmore often
used.No. 3 –
Cakewalk Rhythm in
B≤ MajorThe simple
syncopated rhythm in this
exercise is common to
many marches. This drill
gives you the opportunity
to teach/ reinforce the
standard ar-ticulation
and natural accent of
this rhythmic pattern.
Again, this exercise uses
an ascending and
descending major-scale
pattern as the melodic
basis, accompanied by
chords commonly found in
American- style
marches.No. 4 –
The March Scale in
B≤ MajorI call this
exercise “The March
Scale,†because
often in marches (and
especially in these
marches) the descending
half-step is part of the
melodic material. These
chromatic figures give
the melodies of many
marches their charm and
flow. Thus, I devised
this exercise and others
like it in E≤ major
and A≤ major to
familiarize students with
these patterns. I would
suggest playing the
pattern in a variety of
ways different from what
is written. Here are some
other
possibilities:•
Tongue one, slur
three• Slur two,
tongue two• Tongue
two, slur two•
Tongue one, slur two,
tongue oneGradually
increase the tempo to the
march tempo and the
articulation style will
fall right into
place.Another important
consideration is the
performance of the bass
line and the bass-drum
part. Too often, the bass
drum and bass instruments
play their parts with
equal emphasis on both
beats in the measure.
This is incorrect, and
frequently makes the
marchNo. 5 – March
Style in E≤
MajorThis is a similar to
exercise No. 2, but with
a different rhythmic
pattern. Emphasize the
difference between
accented and unaccented
notes. Also, play the
exercise with line
direction moving the
musical line forward.
Experiment and play the
exercise with different
dynamic choices and with
hairpins up and down in
different ways.No. 6
– More March Style
in E≤ MajorExercise
No. 6 comprises more
rhythmic patterns and
harmonic materials in
E≤ major to teach
and reinforce the march
style. This exercise
em-phasizes the
sixteenth-note rhythm, as
notated in the third
measure of the exercise.
Young stu- dents have a
tendency to
“crush†the
sixteenths; consequently,
they lack clarity. It
would be a good idea to
work this rhythmic figure
on a scale pattern with
all of the instruments in
the band as an additional
warm-up exercise.No. 7
– The March Scale
in E≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 4 and
apply it to this
exercise. Use all of the
various articulations
described above as
well.No. 8 – March
Style in A≤
MajorSee the information
for No. 2 and apply it to
this exercise.No. 9
– Cakewalk Rhythm
in A≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 3 and
apply it to this
exercise.No. 10 –
The March Scale in
A≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 4 and
apply it to this
exercise.Other Ideas for
March PerformanceA
rehearsal practice that
has worked very well for
me is to start out by
having the band play the
march very slowly at
about Å’ = 60 in a
chorale/legato style. The
slow tempo is a fine
opportunity to work on
clarity of harmonic move-
ment and to work on the
balance and blend of the
tutti band sound. This
will pay great dividends
toward improving the
sound of your band.
Gradually increase the
tempo to the march tempo
and the articulation
style will fall right
into place.Another
important consideration
is the performance of the
bass line and the
bass-drum part. Too
often, the bass drum and
bass instruments play
their parts with equal
emphasis on both beats in
the measure. This is
incorrect, and frequently
makes the march.

The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The

Urizen is now

with a florid woodwind

played tutti and then
quietly repeated by
bassoon, tenor sax and

a conventional

Jacob de Haan
was commissioned to
compose this concert
piece by the St. Peters
Wind Symphony from
Brisbane, Australia. Ross
Roy is the monumental
late 19th century villa
where St. Peters Lutheran
College was founded in
1945. The villa has
always remained the
school symbol. In this
composition, Jacob de
Haan sees the Ross Roy as
a metaphor for the years
spent at school (a
monument in time), where
one's personality is
formed. So, the opening
theme the artist calls
the Ross Roy theme
initially has monumental
characteristics.The
rhythmic motion, which
strides along in the
lower register and
percussion at the
beginning of the next
section is typical of
Tempo di Marcia.
Thismovement, accompanied
by repetitions of sound,
is a metaphor for the
structure and discipline
in school. This is the
introduction to a march
theme, symbolic of
passing through the
classes up to the final
examinations.Then, the
Ross Roy theme is dealt
with again, now in a
playful, humorous
variation. As if the
composer is saying there
should also be time for a
smile in school. The same
theme can be heard in
major key and a slower
tempo in the following
section, expressing pride
and self-confidence. This
is also the introduction
to the expressive middle
section that represents
love, friendship and
understanding.We then
return to the march theme
in a slightly altered
construction. The
oriental sounds,
constituting the
modulation to the final
theme, are symbols of the
diversity of cultures in
the school. The
characteristic final
theme first sounds
solemn, but turns into a
festive apotheosis. It is
no coincidence that the
final cadence is
reminiscent of the close
to a traditional
overture, for the school
years can be considered
the overture to the rest
of one's life. The
premiere of Ross Roy was
conducted by Jacob de
Haan in Brisbane, on
August 22, 1997.
Ross Roy is de
naam van de monumentale
villa in Brisbane
(Australië) waar in
1945 het St. Peters
Lutheran College is
gesticht. In opdracht van
het collegeorkest
componeerde Jacob de Haan
dit gevarieerde
concertwerk vol
metaforen.De structuur en
discipline van de school
horen we in de met
toonherhaling gepaard
gaande ritmische beweging
in basregister en
slagwerk. Het volgende,
martiale thema staat
symbool voor het
doorlopen van de klassen.
Een
schertsende,humoristische
versie van het hoofdthema
ontbreekt niet: op school
moet immers ook tijd zijn
voor vrolijkheid. Het
karakteristieke slotthema
mondt uit in een
feestelijke
apotheose.

Die Struktur und

Schlagwerks. Das folgende
martialische Thema steht
als Symbol für das
Durchlaufen der Klassen
bis zum Ende der

St.Willibrord. The
fever tree is a
controversial legend
about St. Willibrord
(658-739). The
daughter of a pagan
chieftain of Hoemannen
that made the area around
Heumen unsafe, was
seriously ill. They
feared for her life.
The chief of the gang
turned to predatory
Willibrord, who same time
in this region led
mission. Willibrord
commanded theman to
repent and a headband of
the girl to a certain
special tree to hang.
The desperate captain
obeyed, and his daughter
was a miraculous heal.
Then came the anger
of the Hoemannen against
their leader, who in
their eyes had
committed treason by the
group to convert. They
abused themselves to him
and killed him brutally.
The daughter remained
behind in great sorrow,
comforted by Willibrord.
The composition
has the following scenes:

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.

The Book of
Urizen is a work for
concert band, solo
soprano, and a male
narrator in which sound
collages of religious
expressions are used. The
piece is inspired by the
compelling visionary poem
of the same name (which
the poet
illustratedhimself) by
the Englishman William
Blake (1757-1827), who
occupies a unique
position in western
literature and the visual
arts. He was not just a
poet and a writer, but he
was also a graphic
artist, a painter, an
illustrator, a
spiritualist, areligious
visionary, and a mystic
philosopher. For the
performance of this work,
a professional sound
system, including two
microphones and a CD
player, is needed. The
three sound collages are
three separate tracks on
the enclosed CD and can
beplayed easily at the
right moment. The Book
of Urizen bears
resemblance to Genesis
and Exodus, of which the
contents form the basis
of the Christian, Jewish,
and Islamic faith. Blake
adhered to the principle
that all religions are in
fact one,and that deities
reside in human beings.
In The Book of
Urizen this is
represented in “The
Net of Religion,â€
which is spanned over the
earth by Urizen. The
sound collages, compiled
by Jacob de Haan in the
studio, find their origin
inJerusalem, the Holy
City, where the
afore-mentioned faiths
“come
together.†In the
first movement of
this composition, The
Vision, Urizen
prepares his vision of
the world, and he
presents this to the
“Eternals.â€
His vision is
rejected,and Urizen locks
himself up in his own
abstract world. When he
does emerge again, he is
confronted with rage by
the gathered Eternals.
Urizen flees the wrath of
the Eternals, “the
flames of eternal
fury,†and enwombs
himself in his own world.
Whenthe Eternals see
Urizen in his
“stony
sleep,†they wonder
if this is death. The
blacksmith Los is torn by
grief because of the
isolation of Urizen. It
brings him to rouse his
fires, prepare his forge,
and to give
Urizen’s world
concrete form. In
thesecond
movement, The
Creation,
Urizen’s world,
but also man, woman, and
child are created. Los is
horrified with the
appearance of
Urizen’s body. He
mourns and pities Urizen,
and from his blood a
female form comes into
being, with thename
Enitharmon. The Eternals,
fearful of the female
form, decide to erect a
tent to obstruct their
view to eternity.
Enitharmon and Los beget
a son, called Orc. Los
baptizes him as a child
of the “fallen
world.†Orc is fed
at Enitharmon’s
breast,which makes a
girdle of jealousy
restrict Los’
chest. He takes the child
to the top of the
mountain and chains him
down. The cries of Orc
awaken Urizen, who
explores his world
creating instruments of
scientific measurement to
do so. Los encircles
theface of Enitharmon
from the sight of Urizen
and Orc. She then
populates the earth by
giving birth to an
enormous race.The

Urizen is now

This
composition was based on
the world-famous novel by
the French author Jules
Verne. This novel
describes the attempt to
reach the centre of the
earth. The descent of the
crater of the volcano
called Snaeffels,
situated in Iceland,
marks thebeginning of
this voyage to the
sublunary world. The
German geologist,
professor Lidenbrock, is
accompanied on this trip
by his nephew Axel and an
Icelandic guide named
Hans. The last mentioned
will be helpful in many
occasions.
Dark
colors & mist
The
composer tried in this
single work to give a
musical expression to
various significant
moments from this novel.
In the introduction he
sketches an image of the
dismal ambience on the
island by using dark
colors. Risingfragments
of mist reveal the flanks
of the monumental
mountain Scataris. The
composer tries to catch
this image in a majestic
and broad
chorale.
Away
from Iceland
Subsequently the ostinato
rhythmicity and
virtuosity representthe
hectic descent of the
crater of the volcano.
The party descends ever
more and more and travels
south, away from Iceland.
On the way, they see all
kinds of rock formations,
fossils and minerals. At
a depth of thirty hours
walking distance, atabout
150 kilometers below the
surface, they reach a sub
terrestrial sea which is
called the Lidenbrock
sea.
Genuine
eruption of
sounds
Strange
electric manifestations
and unpredictable weather
conditions accompany
thissingular phenomenon.
An orchestral
tutti-episode expresses
this impression
musically. On a
make-shift raft, the
party continues its
voyage, heading to the
south coast of this huge
sea. Once ashore, an
enormous rock obstructs
the passage. The
blowingup of this
obstacle unleashes a
genuine eruption of
sounds in the
orchestration.
Spat out by the
volcano
But the
explosion has an
unforeseen side effect.
The sea - travelers and
raft included - is sucked
upwards into a dark
hole.Again, our heroes
are accompanied on their
involuntary voyage, while
left to fend for
themselves, by an ever
increasing ostinato
rhythmicity.
Before an irruption can
destroy the raft, the
threesome manages to
escape and climb up
through acave towards the
daylight. They seem to be
spat out by the Stromboli
volcano on the island of
Sicily, far from home.
The composition ends
with triumphant sounds
that represent the
scientific triumph of
these
adventurers.

The inspiration
for this three-part work
goes back to the
International European
Youth Wind Music
Festival, of which the
patron has been Jacob de
Haan several times. It
begins in a festive march
tempo, then sacred music,
instrumental groups
playing off_x001E_stage
and a little march for
brass and _x001D_flutes.
The third movement is a
parade in which the
various sections of the
ensemble head towards the
stage from different
directions. Even without
the effective
choreography of the
musicians, Call of the
Valley is an
impressive concert band
composition.
Jacob
de Haan haalde zijn
inspiratie voor dit
driedelige werk bij het
Hessische kuuroord Bad
Orb en het tweejaarlijkse
Blaasmuziekfestival van
de Europese Jeugd,
waarvan hij meerdere
keren beschermheer was.
In het werk verwerkte de
componist verschillende
e_x001D_ecten die
betrekking hebben op het
festival. Zo hoort men in
de vallei verschillende
orkesten door elkaar
spelen, een indrukwekkend
e_x001D_ect dat ook in de
compositie werd verwerkt.
Ook kan men ervoor kiezen
om tijdens het werk het
orkest op te splitsen en
het podium te laten
verlaten en marcherend
weer richting podium te
stappen. Een spectaculair
en vernieuwend
werk!
Die
Inspiration für
dieses dreiteilige Werk
geht auf das
Internationale
Blasmusikfest der Jugend
Europas zurück,
dessen Schirmherr schon
mehrfach Jacob de Haan
war. Es beginnt in
festlich marschierendem
Tempo, gefolgt von
sakraler Musik, abseits
der Bühne
spielenden
Instrumentengruppen und
einem kleinen Marsch
für Blechbläser
und Flöten. Der dritte
Satz ist eine Parade, bei
der sich das geteilte
Orchester aus
verschiedenen Richtungen
auf die Bühne zu
bewegt. Auch ohne die
effektvolle
Positionierung der
Musiker ist Call of
the Valley ein
eindrucksvolles
Blasorchesterwerk.
Un
festival di musica per
_x001E_ati per banda
giovanile che si tiene a
Hesse in Germania, e al
quale Jacob de Haan ha
più volte partecipato
in veste di giurato, è
servito da ispirazione
per comporre questo
brano. L’inizio
vede un tempo festivo che
simboleggia
l’arrivo delle
bande. Sonorit maestose
disegnano un concerto di
musica sacra, seguite da
suoni che evocano le
interpretazioni di varie
orchestre. Un gruppo di
sax interpreta un piccolo
valzer, un altro gruppo
che unisce ottoni,
_x001D_auti e ottavino
suona una piccola marcia.
Nel _x001E_finale
dell’opera,
l’orchestra
riprende i temi dei due
gruppi.

The third movement is a

various sections of the
ensemble head towards the
stage from different
directions. Even without

Jacob
de Haan haalde zijn
inspiratie voor dit
driedelige werk bij het
Hessische kuuroord Bad
Orb en het tweejaarlijkse
Blaasmuziekfestival van
de Europese Jeugd,
waarvan hij meerdere
keren beschermheer was.
In het werk verwerkte de
componist verschillende
e_x001D_ecten die
betrekking hebben op het
festival. Zo hoort men in
de vallei verschillende
orkesten door elkaar
spelen, een indrukwekkend
e_x001D_ect dat ook in de
compositie werd verwerkt.
Ook kan men ervoor kiezen
om tijdens het werk het
orkest op te splitsen en
het podium te laten
verlaten en marcherend
weer richting podium te
stappen. Een spectaculair
en vernieuwend
werk!
Die
Inspiration für
dieses dreiteilige Werk
geht auf das
Internationale
Blasmusikfest der Jugend
Europas zurück,
dessen Schirmherr schon
mehrfach Jacob de Haan
war. Es beginnt in
festlich marschierendem
Tempo, gefolgt von
sakraler Musik, abseits
der Bühne
spielenden
Instrumentengruppen und
einem kleinen Marsch
für Blechbläser
und Flöten. Der dritte
Satz ist eine Parade, bei
der sich das geteilte
Orchester aus
verschiedenen Richtungen
auf die Bühne zu
bewegt. Auch ohne die
effektvolle
Positionierung der
Musiker ist Call of
the Valley ein
eindrucksvolles
Blasorchesterwerk.
Un
festival di musica per
_x001E_ati per banda
giovanile che si tiene a
Hesse in Germania, e al
quale Jacob de Haan ha
più volte partecipato
in veste di giurato, è
servito da ispirazione
per comporre questo
brano. L’inizio
vede un tempo festivo che
simboleggia
l’arrivo delle
bande. Sonorit maestose
disegnano un concerto di
musica sacra, seguite da
suoni che evocano le
interpretazioni di varie
orchestre. Un gruppo di
sax interpreta un piccolo
valzer, un altro gruppo
che unisce ottoni,
_x001D_auti e ottavino
suona una piccola marcia.
Nel _x001E_finale
dell’opera,
l’orchestra
riprende i temi dei due
gruppi.

Zion is the
third and final
installment of a series
of works for Wind
Ensemble inspired by
national parks in the
western United States,
collectively called Three
Places in the West. As in
the other two works (The
Yellowstone Fires and
Arches), it is my
intention to convey more
an impression of the
feelings I've had in Zion
National Park in Utah
than an attempt at
pictorial description.
Zion is a place with
unrivalled natural
grandeur, being a sort of
huge box canyon in which
the traveler is
constantly overwhelmed by
towering rock walls on
every side of him -- but
it is also a place with a
human history, having
been inhabited by several
tribes of native
Americans before the
arrival of the Mormon
settlers in the mid-19th
century. By the time the
Mormons reached Utah,
they had been driven all
the way from New York
State through Ohio and,
with tragic losses,
through Missouri. They
saw Utah in general as a
place nobody wanted, but
they were nonetheless
determined to keep it to
themselves. Although Zion
Canyon was never a Mormon
Stronghold, the people
who reached it and
claimed it (and gave it
its present name) had
been through extreme
trials. It is the
religious fervor of these
persecuted people that I
was able to draw upon in
creating Zion as a piece
of music. There are two
quoted hymns in the work:
Zion's Walls (which Aaron
Copland adapted to his
own purposes in both is
Old American Songs and
the opera The Tender
Land) and Zion's
Security, which I found
in the same volume in
which Copland found
Zion's Walls -- that
inexhaustible storehouse
of 19th-century hymnody
called The Sacred Harp.
My work opens with a
three-verse setting of
Zion's Security, a stern
tune in F-sharp minor
which is full of resolve.
(The words of this hymn
are resolute and strong,
rallying the faithful to
be firm, and describing
the city of our God they
hope to establish). This
melody alternates with a
fanfare tune, whose
origins will be revealed
in later music, until the
second half of the piece
begins: a driving
rhythmic ostinato based
on a 3/4-4/4 alternating
meter scheme. This pauses
at its height to restate
Zion's Security one more
time, in a rather obscure
setting surrounded by
freely shifting patterns
in the flutes, clarinets,
and percussion -- until
the sun warms the ground
sufficiently for the
second hymn to appear.
Zion's Walls is set in
7/8, unlike Copland's
9/8-6/8 meters (the
original is quite
strange, and doesn't
really fit any constant
meter), and is introduced
by a warm horn solo. The
two hymns vie for
attention from here to
the end of the piece,
with the glowingly
optimistic Zion's Walls
finally achieving
prominence. The work ends
with a sense of triumph
and unbreakable spirit.
Zion was commissioned in
1994 by the wind
ensembles of the
University of Texas at
Arlington, the University
of Texas at Austin, and
the University of
Oklahoma. It is dedicated
to the memory of Aaron
Copland.

Behold a
Ladder Set Up on the
Earth by Frank McKinney
is a composition that
touches upon both the
thoughtful meditation and
the emotional response to
the lyrics of the African
American slave spiritual
We Are Climbing Jacob's
Ladder. There are
abundant opportunities
for both sensitive and
robust musical moments. A
variation of the
well-known theme is
stated in the opening
Adagio trumpet solo and
then repeated several
times throughout the
piece. A more upbeat
Allegro variation then
enters before the
familiar tune is finally
introduced calmly by the
bassoon. The climactic
Religioso section
presents the main theme
in all of its call and
response glory.

Based
on the novel by American
author Jack London, this
powerful work depicts a
dog's struggle as he
progressively moves from
a domesticated animal to
a creature of the wild.
All sections of the piece
are titled after chapters
in the novel. The opening
powerful fanfare over
dissonant woodwind trills
moves into a fast-paced
section as Buck has his
brutal introduction into
primitive law. The music
becomes angrier as
dramatic battles occur
along with long journeys
without adequate food and
water. Eventually, the
music becomes heroic and
resolute before the
opening fanfare returns
once more (The Sounding
of the Call) and Buck
finally completes his
transformation, returning
to the wild.

Scenes from an
English Landscape is a
brief nostalgic tone poem
taking its inspiration
from visions of rural
England as depicted in
the paintings of John
Constable, the novels of
Thomas Hard, and the
music of Gustav Holst and
Ralph Vaughan Williams. A
chorale-like theme is
stated in the brass and
then taken up at three
times the tempo in the
woodwinds. At the end of
the work, both versions
of the theme are stated
together to bring the
piece to a triumphant
climax.
This is a
brief nostalgic tone poem
taking its inspiration
from visions of rural
England as depicted in
the paintings of John
Constable, the novels of
Thomas Hard, and the
music of Gustav Holst and
Ralph Vaughan Williams. I
imagined a community of
villagers coming out of
church and filling a
village square with their
vibrant presence. A
chorale-like theme is
stated in the brass and
then taken up at three
times the tempo in the
woodwinds. At the end o
the work, both versions
of the theme are stated
together to bring the
piece to a triumphant
climax. Adam Gorb was
born in Cardiff and
started composing at the
age of ten. His first
work broadcast on
national radio was
written when he was
fifteen. He studied at
Cambridge University
(1977-1980) and the Royal
Academy of Music
(1991-1993) where he
graduated with the
highest honours including
the Principal's Prize. He
has been on the staff at
the London College of
Music and Media, the
junior Academy of the
Royal Academy of Music
and, since 2000 he has
been the Head of School
of Composition at the
Royal Northern College of
Music in Manchester .
International recognition
came in 1994 with the US
Walter Beeler Prize for
his work Metropolis .
With it began what has
developed into probably
the most important wind
ensemble catalogue by a
contemporary composer,
ranging from extremely
challenging to the most
accessible, at all
technical levels, seized
on by players
internationally, widely
recorded and now
absolutely central to the
world's wind repertoire.
Equally important though
are his works for dance,
and concert pieces like
the chamber orchestral
Weimar , the Violin
Sonata , a Clarinet
Concerto for the Royal
Liverpool Philharmonic
Orchestra and Diaspora
for strings (for the
Goldberg Ensemble).
Deceptively mainstream at
first glance, they
display the same
inventive brilliance,
pulsating sound world,
striking use of rhythm
and an undogmatic absence
of stylistic hang-ups to
embrace jazz and
serialism in works where
power, poetry, irony and
pathos, often underlaid
by a theatrical and
deeply subversive
element, coalesce in an
integrated, highly
individual musical voice.
Gorb is also not afraid
to draw on the vivid
musical heritage of his
Jewish roots, sometimes
directly, often in a more
subsumed or radically
creative way. The crucial
and consistent feature of
Gorb's work though is
that it communicates
strongly without
patronizing players or
audiences. He firmly
believes that if
contemporary music - any
music - does not impact
on listeners then its
message is irrelevant; it
is lost.

Altho
ugh some stories in Greek
mythology reveal a
different side to his
character, Apollo was
widely regarded to hold a
cheerful personality and
communicating joy through
the music he played on
his lyre. Apollo Arise is
an energetic and spirited
work for band ideal for
opening a concert. The
uplifting and exuberant
melodic material lead the
group on a sonic journey
to capture the joy and
light music can bring to
both the audience and the
performer. Program
NotesAmong the many
stories in Greek
mythology, Apollo holds a
unique place as a complex
Olympian god known for
truth, prophecy, healing,
poetry, plague,
knowledge, light and
music. Although some
stories reveal a
different side to his
character, Apollo was
widely regarded to hold a
cheerful personality and
communicated joy through
the music he played on
his lyre. Apollo Arise is
an energetic and spirited
work for band, ideal for

uplifting and exuberant
melodic material lead the
group on a sonic journey
to capture the joy and
light music can bring to
both the audience and

dynamic opening fanfare
to the soaring motifs and
rhythms that follow,
Apollo Arise provides a
wonderful opportunity for
the ensemble to reach for
new musical heights in
their performance! Â
 Rehearsal Notes and
SuggestionsThe opening
twenty-four measures of
the work are important
for the rest of the work
to unfold successfully.
Encourage the ensemble to
play with a unified
articulation style,
maintain a proper
balance, and establish a
consistent tempo through
this section as several
recurring rhythms must be
performed consistently.
Measure 38 features a
trumpet solo, so be sure
that the rest of the
ensemble balances their
line to support the solo
instrument. In the
section that begins at m.
67, there is an optional
solo opportunity for
trumpet and trombone.
Both of these sections
provide nice contrast
against the full ensemble
sections that are present
in the work. The section
at m. 81 includes a
call-and-response section
between woodwind, brass
and percussion groups. Be
sure that as groups
enter, the tempo remains
consistent and that the
winds articulation style
is unified and
complimentary to the
percussion. As the
opening fanfare returns
at m. 101, remind the
ensemble to play with
consistent style, balance
and tempo as they did in
the opening. As the
ensemble begins the part
of the journey with
Apollo at m. 110, the
music contains unique
layers that must work
together to be effective
and set up the material
that begins at m. 127.
Encourage the group to
play so they can hear all
other lines, and allow
their energy to grow into
a focused musical
celebration by the final
note. Thank you in
advance for your support
of this music, and I wish
you and your ensemble
well as Apollo Arise
welcomes the audience to
your concert hall.

The piece
reflects the composer's
fascination with the
origins of the universe
and deep space in
general. The title comes
from a theory, formulated
by Pythagoras, that the
cosmos was ruled by the
same laws he had
discovered that govern
the ratios of note
frequencies of the
musical scale.
(‘Harmonia’
in Ancient Greek, which
means scale or tuning
rather than harmony -
Greek music was
monophonic). He also
believed that these
ratios corresponded to
the distances of the six
known planets from the
sun and that the planets
each produced a musical
note which combined to
weave a continuous
heavenly melody (which,
unfortunately, we humans
cannot hear). In this
work, these six notesform
the basis of the sections
MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and
HARMONIA. The pieces
opens with a horn solo
called t = 0, a name
given by some scientists
to the moment of the Big
Bang when time and space
were created, and this is
followed by a depiction
of the BIG BANG itself,
as the entire universe
bursts out from a single
point. A slower section
follows called THE LONELY
PLANET which is a
meditation on the
incredible and unlikely
set of circumstances
which led to the creation
of the Earth as a planet
that can support life,
and the constant search
for other civilisations
elsewhere in the
universe. ASTEROIDS AND
SHOOTING STARS depicts
both the benign and
dangerous objects that
are flying through space
and which constantly
threaten our planet, and
the piece ends with THE
UNKNOWN, leaving in
question whether our
continually expanding
exploration of the
universe will eventually
lead to enlightenment or
destruction.
Dit
werk weerspiegelt de
fascinatie van de
componist voor het
heelal. Het begint met
een hoornsolo met de naam
t = 0, waarmee
sommige wetenschappers de
oerknal aanduiden. Dan
volgt een weergave van de
oerknal zelf. Het
volgendegedeelte, The
Lonely Planet, is een
meditatie over het
ongelooflijke samenspel
van omstandigheden dat
leidde tot het ontstaan
van de Aarde.
