“Born
in 1958, polish musician
Adam Polachowski studied
music at the Arts Academy
in Poznan, Poland before
being appointed as
percussionist at the
Poznan Wielki Theatre, as
well as performing
soloistically. As a
prolific percussionist
himself, Polachowski's
Seven Episodes for Snare
Drum and Bass Drum are
very well-informed.
Polachowski's study book
is intended for
percussionists who have
already mastered Bass
Drum pedal technique.
Seven Episodes for Snare
Drum and Bass Drum
addresses varying
rhythmic combinations,
counterpoint, different
timbres, dynamic
variations and changes of
tempo. A helpful glossary
is included and, with
written instruction in
French, English, German,
Spanish and Italian,
Polachowski's study book
is highly accessible. For
all aspiring
percussionists, Seven
Episodes for Snare Drum
and Bass Drum is
essential.&rdquo.

In
deze compositie draait
het om de terts. Zoals
een persoon zijn of haar
voorkomen kan
transformeren door het
veranderen van kleding of
haardracht, zijn hier
alle mogelijkheden van de
terts gebruikt: majeur,
mineur, overmatig
enverminderd. Een zelfde
thema is in alle drie de
delen te herkennen. De
terts wordt steeds
gevarieerd en veranderd,
dat wil zeggen aangepast
aan de situatie. Het is
mogelijk om de drie delen
zonder langere pauzes te
spelen als eencompleet
stuk (attacca).
In
verschiedenen Situationen
(Episoden) reagiert eine

Daher legte Adolf Götz
in seiner Komposition
für Akkordeonorchester
ein aus der Terz
gestaltetes Thema allen
drei Sätzen zugrunde,
mal variiert und
umgestaltet und somit der
jeweiligen Situation
angepasst. Die Sätze
können nacheinander
oder ohne größere
Unterbrechungen als
geschlossenes Stück

“S
entences is a
thirty-minute meditation,
in collaboration with
Adam Gopnik, on several
episodes drawn from the
life and work of Alan
Turing. Turing lived, in
a sense, many different
lives, but at the heart
of his work was, I think,
a very musical set of
anxieties. Even the idea
of code-breaking is
inherently musical; the
French for score-reading
is déchiffrage:
deciphering. His wartime
work on the Enigma code
translated, later in
life, to a more nuanced
relationship to code in
the form of a primitive
but emotionally (and
philosophically)
complicated artificial
intelligence. The piece
uses a single voice not
to speak necessarily as
Turing, but as a guide
through these various
episodes.
I've
always felt that the
question of sentient
computers is wildly
emotional: we
anthropomorphise the Mars
Rover, imagining its
solitude on that dusty
planet. Any act of
communication in which
the second person is
unseen can be a one-way
conversation. An email,
sent, can never be
returned - did it arrive
or did it not?, or a text
message can be delivered
but never read. The
thrill of a fast response
is immediately tempered
with the harsh but empty
rudeness of an
out-of-office reply.
Anybody who has made a
condolence phone call
only to hear the voice of
the deceased on the
outgoing answering
machine message knows the
complexities of what
could be a simple binary
communication.”
–Nico Muhly.

The
Concertino op. 12
by the German violinist,
composer and violin
educator Ferdinand
Küchler (1867-1937) is
a three-movement work
that is ideal for the
development of playing in
first and third position.
The first movement is
both powerful and playful
in character, and its
themes that follow on
from each other rapidly,
producing a concise
sonata form. The second
movement has been written
in a three-part song form
(A-B-A). The A section
has a cantabile
atmosphere, whereas
section B is more
dramatic. The third
movement is a rondo (with
a refrain and episodes).
The refrain is joyful in
spirit, and the episodes
present
variation.

Progr
am note: Christmas Fugue,
like the charming English
folk tune on which it is
based, is full of the
spirit and fun that is
Christmas. After a slow
shimmering introduction
which imparts an
impression of Christmas
morning, the fugue
subject is abruptly
introduced. The fugue
subject: We Wish You a
Merry Christmas. The work
develops through a series
of playful musical
episodes which afford
satisfying opportunities
for the various sections
of the orchestra. The
fugue culminates in a
combination of motifs

Christmas. The Composer:
Dr. Robert Bennett Brown
has devoted much of his
professional teaching
career to musical

Christmas Fugue, like

published works, was
written in and for the
actual teaching
situation. At the present
time, Robert Bennett
Brown is District
Supervisor of Music for

Previously, for some
nineteen years, he taught

classical sound so
satisfying to performer

is not a must; cross-cues
will carry critical areas
where a specified
instrument may be
lacking. Piano, tuba, and
saxophone parts are
written to accommodate
those players where they

This fine
work has sat dormant for
many years and has now
come to light thanks to
the efforts of Charlie
Vernon, Bass Trombonist
of the Chicago Symphony,
who performed this
virtuoso work as a young
performer. The concerto
is in the standard three
movement form: Fast,
slow, fast. This
publication is a
reduction from the
original orchestral
version (to be released
at some point in the
future). Here is a
description of the
Concerto by the composer,
John W. Ware. I started
on the trombone concerto
in my junior year
studying composition at
Indiana University. While
working on it, I learned
of an opportunity to make
it sort of a thesis piece
(though students didn't
write a thesis in
composition while an
undergrad). The original
version was for trombone
with string orchestra,
and it was performed by
the IU String Orchestra,
conducted by Dr. Arthur
Corra, with Robert Priez,
trombone, as part of my
senior composition
recital. I thought the
performance was quite
good (Priez played
extraordinarily well),
and the piece received a
newspaper review in the
Indiana Daily Student, in
which the reviewer wrote
that the work was almost
too exciting. I thought
at the time that he had
given me and my music a
fine compliment. I made a
piano version of the
accompaniment, shortening
and tightening the first
movement, for
performances in 1966; I
made a second revision in
1967 for a performance by
E. J. Eaton, trombonist
at the University of
Tennessee at Martin,
arriving at the form in
which the work exists
now. The first movement
is in fairly normal
sonata-allegro form, in
the key of A minor. It
alternates between
assertive and more
thoughtful moods. There
is no introduction; the
soloist enters
immediately and dominates
much of the movement. The
main theme is--by some
manipulation--a source
for most of the other
themes, and all of the
themes are used in close
proximity to each other,
including contrapuntal
combinations, especially
near the end. Originally
the movement included a
lengthy fugato, now much
shortened and including a
stretto that builds and
subsides before a cadenza
leading to a coda based
on both the principal and
secondary themes. Key
relations in this
movement, as in the other
two, are quite free and
often chromatic, with
frequent third-relations;
but returns to the tonic
at the end are emphatic.
The writing is
challenging for both
soloist and accompanist;
the piece is substantial,
requiring technique and
stamina. The second
movement is in F minor
and is also built on both
contrast and close
relationships between the
main and secondary
themes. The main theme is
heard in the piano part
before the soloist
enters. The mood is more
lyric than in the first
movement, but with
dramatic episodes also.
In this movement are some
definite derivations from
themes in the first
movement. The ending is a
sort of lengthened shadow
of the opening. The
finale returns to A
minor, with themes
slightly related to
polonaise rhythms, but
with strong echoes of
first-movement themes.
Here, too, dramatic and
lyric episodes alternate,
with dotted rhythms
frequently propelling the
music forward. The
introduction is a brief
and simple preparation
for the solo entry. Later
in the movement, a very
brief, slightly slower
section is soon overtaken
by the original tempo.
Toward the end, there is
a second cadenza, again
leading to a swift and
energetic coda. The work
is about 20 minutes in
length and is appropriate
for advanced
performers.

Conductor: You will find
this work to be the
conductor's dream. Parts
are easy but impressive
sounding. The total
effect will give your
orchestra that typical
classical sound so
satisfying to performer
and listener alike. Full
or exact instrumentation
is not a must; cross-cues
will carry critical areas
where a specified
instrument may be
lacking. Piano, tuba, and
saxophone parts are
written to accommodate
those players where they
exist. These parts are
not essential to the
instrumentation. Though
Christmas Fugue is well
suited to the interests
of high school orchestra
pursuits, its grade of
difficulty is easily
handled by any junior
high school group of
average ability.
 . Program
note:Christmas Fugue,
like the charming English
folk tune on which it is
based, is full of the
spirit and fun that is
Christmas. After a slow
shimmering introduction
which imparts an
impression of Christmas
morning, the fugue
subject is abruptly
introduced. The fugue
subject: We Wish You a
Merry Christmas. The work
develops through a series
of playful musical
episodes which afford
satisfying opportunities
for the various sections
of the orchestra. The
fugue culminates in a
combination of motifs
which find the brass
heralding the
unmistakable arrival of
Christmas.The
Composer:Dr. Robert
Bennett Brown has devoted
much of his professional
teaching career to
musical compositions and
arrangements for young
orchestral enthusiasts.
Christmas Fugue, like
other of Dr. Drown's
published works, was
written in and for the
actual teaching
situation.At the present
time, Robert Bennett
Brown is District
Supervisor of Music for
the Levittown, N.Y.
Public Schools.
Previously, for some
nineteen years, he taught
in Bronxville, N.Y.

an extremely high level
of school orchestral
achievement. he was

This delightful
new composition takes its
inspiration from the
classic French swash
buckling tale of Cyrano
de Bergerac and his fight
to win the love of the
beautiful maiden Roxane.
The subject was a perfect
departure point for
composing a symphonic
poem with a variety of
musical aspects
reflecting the story.
Lyricism (the theme of
Roxane), dramatic
episodes, as well as
Debussy-inspired
impressionist moments are
some of the elements that
give the band and its
conductor the chance to
expose themselves as a
versatile ensemble being
able to create colour, to
sing and to play like
virtuosi. This work is
sure to become a standard
item in the concert band
repertoire.
In
Cyrano verklankt
de componist Piet Swerts
het romantische en
tragische verhaal van de
briljante dichter en
zwaardkunstenaar Cyrano
de Bergerac en zijn
mooie, intellectuele
nicht Roxane, op wie hij
tot over zijn oren
verliefdis. Zijn
uiterlijk, met name zijn
buitengewoon grote neus,
belet hem om zijn
gevoelens tegenover haar
te uiten. De vele
verwikkelingen die uit
deze situatie voortkomen
zijn te herkennen in deze
programmatische
compositie.
Piet
Swerts erzahlt hier
musikalisch die
tragisch-romantische
Geschichte von Cyrano de
Bergerac, der einem
verliebten Freund hilft,
seine Liebe zu erobern
und sich dann selbst
unglucklich in dessen
Angebetete verliebt.
Diese Komposition
spiegelt die Geschichte
mit einer Vielfalt an
musikalischen Aspekten
eindrucksvoll wider.
Lyrik, dramatische
Episoden sowie von
Debussy inspirierte,
impressionistische
Momente sind einige der
Elemente, die dem
Blasorchester und seinem
Dirigenten die Chance
bieten, sich als
vielseitiges Ensemble,
das zugleich Farben
entfalten, singen und
virtuos spielen kann, zu
prasentieren.
La
comedie heroique
Cyrano de Bergerac
(1897) valut a son auteur
une gloire immediate.
Cyrano, heros tragique et
attachant, est entre dans
le patrimoine universel,
sans doute parce qu'il
incarne superbement un
mythe bien ancien : celui
de l'amour et du bonheur
impossibles. Ce delicieux
chef-d'œuvre
theatral d'Edmond Rostand
a inspire ce poeme
symphonique de Piet
Swerts qui s'articule
autour d'une grande
diversite musicale
exprimant differentes
scenes de la piece.
Passages lyriques,
episodes dramatiques et
moments impressionnistes,
Cyrano comprend de
nombreux ingredients qui
permettent au chef et a
sa formation d'exploiter
leur polyvalence a
travers lacouleur, le
chant et le jeu virtuose.
La commedia
Cyrano de Bergerac (1897)
valse al suo autore
gloria immediata. Cyrano,
eroe tragico e
commovente, e entrato nel
patrimonio universale
senza dubbio perche
incarna a meraviglia un
mito molto antico: quello
dell'amore e della
felicita impossibili.
Questo delizioso
capolavoro teatrale di
Edmond Rostand ha
ispirato il poema
sinfonico che si articola
attorno ad una grande
diversita musicale
esprimendo diverse scene
dell'opera teatrale.
Passaggi lirici, episodi
drammatici e momenti
impressionanti, Cyrano
comprende numerosi
ingredienti che
permettono al maestro di
sfruttare la polivalenza
attraverso il colore, il
canto e il suono
virtuoso.
