Remem
brance was written in
November 2018. In
remembrance of what it
took for us to be here...
was the only original
program note. The piece
can mean different things
to different people;
however, it brings unity
to all under the theme of
remembrance. We fight for
many things: love,
patriotism, freedom,
ideology,
possession...all of which
have cost tremendous
sacrifice. It was the
battles, the blood and
sweat, and the sacrifice
of those that came before
us that created the world
as we know it.
Remembrance is a tender,
melancholic reflection
that silently gives
thanks to every step and
every sacrifice that was
made to bring us what we
have today. Yes, what we
have may not be
perfect--nor is it
anywhere near
complete--but with each
generation's
responsibility to carry
the torch and never
forget, hopefully we can
make everything worth it.
Performance Notes This
tender piece is an
excellent opportunity to
explore nuanced phrasing.
While many sections may
play similar parts, often
the phrasing and dynamics
are marked differently
across the band. Each of
these discrepancies
should be brought out and
add to the perpetual
motion of the piece.
Encourage confident, yet
subtle entrances and
furthermore, think about
the ends of notes as
important as the
beginning. Really bring
out the hairpins in
sections such as m. 29,
m. 67, and m. 81 as
expressive devices.
Despite the piece's major
key, through the various
levels of dissonance and
tension, both the
ensemble and the audience
should feel the
sacrifices and tragedy
that this piece
celebrates. The tempo
should not be much slower
than the marked tempos
and with the careful
observation of the
various tempo changes,
there should be a
constant momentum pushing
throughout the piece, all
the way past the end that
leaves the audience in
thought with an
uplifting, pensive, and
gentle clarinet
chord.
