In 1828 Berlioz
wrote the Huit scènes
de Faust. The work was
soon withdrawn but almost
twenty years later each
of the eight scenes found
a place in the Lgende
dramatique La damnation
de Faust dedicated to
Franz Liszt. The first
part of the Damnation
exposes the figure of
Faust and has an
introductory nature. From
the second part onwards,
the course of action is
largely based on
Goethe’s
drama.
Contrasting
characters and dramatic
effect are of central
importance in
understanding
Berlioz’s musical
thought and his
compositional process.
Magic and fairy tale,
incantations and ghosts,
have been the
ever-recurring themes of
opera since the Baroque.
It is precisely this
fantasy in Berlioz's
Faust, the “Opra de
Concert en Quatre
actsâ€, which comes
very close to the spirit
of Goethe's
presentation.

John Barnes
Chance composed his
landmark work for band,
Incantation and Dance, in
1960 while in residence
at the high school in
Greensboro, North
Carolina. Commissioned by
the Union County (NC)
Honor Band, Prelude and
Pursuit pays tribute to
this important
composition and its North
Carolina connection. A
haunting chant-like theme
played by the clarinets
sets the tone for the
slow section. Similar to
Chance's work, the fast
section begins with
percussion instruments
introducing thematic
elements later picked up
and developed by the
winds. Intensifying
rhythmic elements, as
well as carefully
controlled random playing
effects, contribute to an
overall sense of
excitement and
anticipation. Themes are
woven throughout various
sections of the band
before the opening chant
motif makes a brief
dramatic appearance near
the end. A great teaching
tool for young players,
Prelude and Pursuit also
provides a rewarding
performance experience.
Dur: 4:50.

Dana
Wilson always strives to
introduce students and
audiences to new ways of
thinking about music and
performance practices.
This work serves somewhat
as an incantation, a
summoning up of, by means
of a group music ritual,
the goodness of the earth
and, consequently,
ourselves. Rhythmic
vocalizations abound,
juxtaposed with
rhythmical, percussive
ensemble writing. Dana
Wilson is a master and
his works light up any
program in which they are
performed.
