A
stunning and
heart-wrenching
composition based on the
Jewish folk son Shlof,
Mayn Kind. You can
hear the emotional
content pour out of this
piece written in memory
of an outstanding
orchestra director. The
piece beginnings with
original material to set
the tone, followed by
a clarinet solo on the
song. It then develops
through a variety of
different harmonic
presentation before
building to a nice key
change and climatic
moment. The piece ends as
it began, but with a more
hopeful tone. An amazing
piece. Sleep, My Child
was commissioned by the
Madison Middle School
Band and Orchestra in
Tampa, Florida, and is
dedicated to the memory
of their Director of
Orchestras Kevin Frye.
Director of Bands Chris
Shultz championed the
commissioning of this
piece to honor Kevin
after he passed away in
December 2016. Mr. Frye
was a beloved member of
the staff at Madison
Middle as well as the
music community of Tampa
and the state of
Florida. I was a
personal friend of
Kevin’s. We were
in several musical groups
together when we were
young that were formative
to both of our musical
careers. I also guest
conducted his Madison
Middle School Orchestra
several times over the
past four years. His
musicianship, teaching
skills and love for his
students were
exemplary.When taking on
the challenge of writing
a piece to honor
Kevin’s legacy,
Mr. Shultz and I decided
to try and include
several important aspects
of Kevin’s life
into the piece. Kevin was
proudly Jewish, a
fantastic trumpet player
and loved Jazz. With that
in mind, and after a lot
of research, a Jewish
folk song Shlof, Mayn
Kind was selected as the
basis for the piece, not
to be religious, but to
honor his faith and
heritage. Plus it is a
beautiful song, and I
felt the title reflected
the sentiment I was
looking to express, which
is of someone taking rest
after a long battle with
illness. Thus, a lullaby
seemed appropriate.I also
wanted to incorporate
Jazz into the piece, but
in a concert setting, so
you will hear as the
piece develops, the
harmonies of the folk
song expand into ones
found more commonly in
Jazz compositions. Not
in a far out way, but in
a subtle way to again
honor this part of his
life. For example the
climactic moment of the
piece at the fermata in
m. 57 is a Dbmaj9#11
chord. It appropriately
give the piece the angst
that I was looking for at
this moment in the piece,
while honoring the
importance of Jazz in
Kevin’s musical
life.The piece was also
conceived to include both
the Madison band and
orchestra in the
performance at the
premiere. I wanted the
pieces to work separately
by the band and
separately by the
orchestra, but I also
wanted them to be able to
play the piece together
to honor Kevin.The piece
begins with original
material designed to set
the mood of the piece
with a tempo/style
marking of pensive, but
also as material that I
used as connective
musical tissue between
statements of the folk
song. After this
introduction, the folk
song is presented by a
solo violin (or clarinet)
with orchestral
accompaniment in a simple
straight forward
presentation of the song.
This is followed by a
woodwind section
statement of the folk
song accompanied by muted
trumpets. During this
presentation the harmony
starts to expand with
more color notes in the
chords. The low brass are
added half way through
this statement to add
depth and lushness.The
introductory material
returns, but with some
angry hits in the lower
voices. This leads to a
full ensemble state of
new material that is used
to transition to the
climax of the piece, and
to build tension. After
the build, the piece
modulates to a shortened
statement of the folk
song with more advanced
harmonies and an active
counter line in the
violas, horns, saxes and
first clarinets to
further build the
tension. This tension
is released at the
fermata in m. 57, as
mentioned above. After a
thoughtful pause, the
piece concludes with a
completion of the folk
song again with a solo
violin (or clarinet)
followed by a return of
the introductory material
to tie the piece
together. The piece ends
hopeful, with a solo
trumpet (Kevin’s
instrument) that is
dissonant at first, but
then resolves as if to
say - everything will be
OK! It has been my
distinct honor to have
been asked to write this
piece in Kevin’s
memory! I hope that in
some small way the piece
helps to bring comfort to
his family, students,
colleagues and to all
those that knew
him!–Larry

A

begins with a broad,
sweeping introduction
followed by a statement
of the main theme in the
upper voices at m. 11.
The trumpets perform the
melody at m. 19, while
the upper voices perform
a countermelody which
morphs into the main idea
of the B-section that
follows at m. 27. The
lower voices restate the
main theme at m. 35 while
the upper voices provide
a sweeping harmony with a
somewhat

feel. After a restatement
of the B-section at m.
43, a subdued section
with new material occurs
at m. 51. This pushes
into a final restatement
of the main theme at m.
59 and leads to a vibrant
conclusion followed by a
pianissimo
afterthought.

Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National
instrument . The director
is encouraged to share
video and audio examples
of the nyckelharpa
playing the original
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

Oceania
Dances uses traditional
music from Tahiti and
Hawaii, islands located
in the geographic region
of the Pacific Ocean
commonly referred to as
Oceania. The recurring
rhythms, prominently
presented in the
percussion solo sections,
are derived from frenetic
percussion music used to
accompany Tahitian
dancers. This piece gives
you the chance to include
the music of other
cultures, but yet still
has all of the traits of
solid band literature.
You can't go wrong with
this selection for

Among the
most frequently performed
and well-known of P. I.
Tchaikovsky's (1840-1893)
works, The Year 1812,
Solemn Overture, Op. 49
(more commonly known as
the 1812 Overture) was
written in 1880 to
commemorate the 1812
defeat of Napoleon's
invading French army by
the Russians. Despite the
composer's lack of
enthusiasm about the
project at its inception,
claiming that he wrote it
without any warm and
loving feelings,
Tchaikovsky acknowledged
later that he did well in
its composition, saying I
absolutely do not know
whether my overture (The
Year 1812) is good or
bad, but I rather think
it is the former (pardon
my immodesty). It
premiered on August 20,
1882, in Moscow at the
Art & Industry
Exhibition, Ippolit
Altani conducting. Famous
for its use of cannons in
the Finale, the Finale
also calls for the
inclusion of a military
brass band, which is
labelled as open
instrumentation in the
original. This edition by
Martin Schmeling spells
out specific
instrumentation options
for the banda.

overture will introduce
your students to
differing articulations
that are commonly used in
the march style. A
glorious opening

is developed to explore
the foundations of this
historic traditional band
genre all within the
confines of the
parameters of the series.
Bold music for teaching

Festive
Variations on Lasst uns
Erfreuen, is based freely
on the German chorale
melody more commonly
known as All Creatures of
Our God and King. In five
variations, this work
begins with an Allegro
introduction in 6/8,
followed by a serene
statement of the theme.
The first variation
reflects the 6/8 optimism
of the introduction. The
second has a more
majestic texture in 3/4
time, featuring brass and
percussion. The third
variation is a scherzo,
fairly fragmentary and
more disjunct than the
others. This is the most
academic of the
variations. The fourth is
a gentle ballad freely
based on the first four
notes of the melody. The
fifth variation returns
to the complete melody,
found in a fugato with
variations within. Before
the work concludes, the
original introduction and
theme are restated in
their first form,
followed by a coda based
on the introductory
motive.

An exciting

introduction into the
rich, emotional and
energetic styles of the
music of Eastern Europe,
most commonly the Jewish
folk tradition. The
lyrical, yet boisterous
dances of Russians,
Romanian Gypsies and
other surrounding
cultures included in this
masterful work will bring
a unique and evocative
style piece well-suited
for concerts and
contests. A sure-fire hit
with audiences, and also
a great selection for
adult community bands.

Inspired
by demonstrated courage,
this original work is
intended as a
confidence-building piece
for a young ensemble's
first Spring concert. It
serves as a perfect
gateway into articulation
and varying dynamics: the
three most commonly
occurring articulation
marks (staccato, accent,
and tenuto) have been
included, as have the
middle three dynamic
markings (mezzo piano,
mezzo forte, and forte)
building and declining in
intensity. These musical
concepts can be
experienced individually
and within the ensemble.
A bold musical statement!

Mozart's
Serenade No. 13 for
strings in G Major, K.
525 is commonly referred
to as Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik, which stands
for a little serenade,
but is more familiar to
music lovers as a little
night music. This
arrangement uses themes
from the first movement,
and is cast in a
comfortable key and range
for young band musicians.
Careful attention to the
sudden, extreme dynamic
changes will make the
performance of this piece
really come to life.
