Col
orado Springs was
commissioned by the
United States Air Force
Academy Band, Lieutenant
Steve Grimo,
Commmander/Conductor.
Colorado Springs, home of
the USAF Academy, is set
in spectacular landscape
towards the southern end
of the Rocky Mountains
and is a popular tourist
resort for skiing and
hiking. The Academy plays
an important part in the
life of the area and
serves as a base for the
USAFA Band, one of the
professional bands
forming part of the
musical life of the U.S.
Air Force. The suite is
in three movements: 1.
The Springs (fanfare) -
“The Springsâ€
is the local residents'
name for the town, and
this first movement
starts with a stirring
fanfare for brass and
percussion, opening with
bold unison horns. The
rest of the brass join in
and woodwind add
decorative figures. After
a short change of style,
the opening material
reappears to close the
movement. 2. Seven Falls
- Seven Falls is a
spectacular waterfall
near to the town which
cascades 181 feet in
seven distinct steps down
a solid cliff of pikes
peak granite. In this
movement, high woodwinds
describe the sparkling
water as it descends to a
popular lookout post near
the bottom of the falls.
3. Pikes Peak - To the
north-west of the town
and reaching an altitude
14,110 feet, Pikes Peak
is the farthest east of
the big peaks in the
Rocky Mountain chain,
which contributed to its
early fame among
explorers and pioneers,
and made it the symbol of
the 1859 Gold Rush to
Colorado with the slogan,
“Pikes Peak or
Bust.†It is the
second-most visited
mountain in the world
behind Japan's Mount
Fuji. This atmospheric
movement describes the
majesty of the mountain
and is based around the
fanfare from the first
movement. Opening on a
solitary bassoon, it is
not long before the main
theme appears under
bubbling woodwinds. The
music reaches a
passionate climax at
which point the opening
fanfare reappears to
bring the whole work to a
close.

The
first time I saw an
alpenglow, I had no idea
what it was. It was the
late 1980s, and I was at
a music camp at the base
of theRocky Mountain
National Park in
Colorado. A few of us got
up in the middle of the
night so we could hike to
a vantage pointat the
foot of Longs Peak, to
watch the sun rise
without any trees
obstructing our view.
Even though we had a few
moreminutes to go before
the sun breached the
horizon, when I looked up
at the face of Longs
Peak, it was glowing
intensely with amost
beautiful peach-pink
color. This enchanting
vision lasted only about
ten minutes, after which
the color faded as the
sunrose. Throughout the
next thirty years,
whenever I returned to
the Rocky Mountain
National Park, I would
occasionally catchthis
pre-dawn light show in
all its glory.An
alpenglow is an optical
phenomenon that is
visible on high altitude
mountains. It happens
twice daily, right before
the sunrises and right
after it sets. The
earth’s atmosphere
scatters the sun’s
light, allowing
particular wavelengths of
light through
andblanketing the
mountains in rich hues of
peach, pink, red, and
purple.Alpenglow opens
with First Light. This
movement begins in the
pre-dawn hour. The music
starts simply and slowly,
thengrows increasingly
animated as the sky
lightens and the horizon
shimmers with color. The
movement explodes in a
massiveflurry of activity
when the sun crosses the
horizon; this energy
eventually fades as the
sun rises in the sky. In
Arc of the Sun,we follow
the sun as it
energetically leaps and
surges upwards in the
sky. The music moves
steadily upwards as it
keeps pacewith the
sun’s progress,
then crests as the sun
reaches its zenith. As
the sun bends back down
towards the earth, the
musicfollows suit,
getting lower in range
and slower as the sun
nears the horizon. In
Radiant Glow, the sun
slips under the
horizon,giving way to a
most radiant alpenglow.
As the alpenglow fades
and twilight envelops the
earth, stars shimmer in
the nightsky.-S.G.

A new
programmatic composition
that depicts the marvels
of modern aviation. The
opening represents the
take-off and the majesty
of the climb into the
heavens. But after
reaching cruising
altitude and soaring
peacefully above the
clouds, the plane must
descend through a strong
turbulent storm. All ends
well as the pilot regains
control of the aircraft
and heroically returns
the band and your
captivated audience
safely to the ground. A
superior choice for any
festival or concert
performance.
Extraordinary music by
one of today's most
popular composers.!
