The
first time I saw
slipstreaming in action
with professional
cyclists, I was in awe.
The competitors were
riding inches away from
each other; when the lead
rider would swerve left
or right, the pursuers
would immediately follow
suit. The physics behind
what appears on the
surface to be sheer
daredevil antics are
quite solid: the cyclists
riding directly behind
the leader are
benefitting from reduced
air and wind resistance.
On a larger scale, a
peloton (the French term
for a pack of riders)
benefits multiple riders
whoare behind the leaders
of the pack. While riding
so close to other riders
carries great risk of
colliding, that risk is
outweighed by the benefit
of preserving
one’s
energy.Slipstream was
inspired by the love of
cycling shared by Haley
Hoops, horn, and Stephen
Ahearn, clarinet, for
whom the piece was
commissioned. They are
drawn to cycling for the
adventure of it, to
discover new places, and
to meet new people. Haley
also expressed her
enjoyment of taking solo
bike rides. Additionally,
I found great inspiration
in watching the daily
highlight videos of the
three-week 2020 Tour de
France, which happened to
be taking place while I
composed Slipstream.The
piece opens with The
Horizon Beckons. A
cyclist hears an enticing
call emanating from the
mountains, then the
cyclist starts pedaling
towards the mountains in
search of adventure.
Riding Solo, the second
movement, explores the
quiet of riding alone,
the beauty of the
landscape, and the
shifting of the light and
clouds, all while we hear
the bike’s wheels
in constant motion.
Adrenaline Rush, the
third and final movement,
depicts the heat of
competition. We hear the
constant jockeying of
cyclists within a peloton
as they slipstream with
each other and move with
the wind. At the very end
of the movement, we hear
sprinters race for the
finish line with
everything they have left
in their legs.

Following a
celebrated series of wind
ensemble tone poems about
national parks in the
American West, Dan
Welcher’s Upriver
celebrates the Lewis &
Clark Expedition from the
Missouri River to
Oregon’s Columbia
Gorge, following the
Louisiana Purchase of
1803. Welcher’s
imaginative textures and
inventiveness are freshly
modern, evoking our
American heritage,
including references to
Shenandoah and other folk
songs known to have been
sung on the expedition.
For advanced players.
Duration:
14’. In 1803,
President Thomas
Jefferson sent Meriwether
Lewis and William
Clark’s Corps of
Discovery to find a water
route to the Pacific and
explore the uncharted
West. He believed woolly
mammoths, erupting
volcanoes, and mountains
of pure salt awaited
them. What they found was
no less mind-boggling:
some 300 species unknown
to science, nearly 50
Indian tribes, and the
Rockies.Ihave been a
student of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, which
Thomas Jefferson called
the “Voyage of
Discovery,†for as
long as I can remember.
This astonishing journey,
lasting more than
two-and-a-half years,
began and ended in St.
Louis, Missouri —
and took the travelers up
more than a few rivers in
their quest to find the
Northwest Passage to the
Pacific Ocean. In an age
without speedy
communication, this was
akin to space travel out
of radio range in our own
time: no one knew if,
indeed, the party had
even survived the voyage
for more than a year.
Most of them were
soldiers. A few were
French-Canadian voyageurs
— hired trappers
and explorers, who were
fluent in French (spoken
extensively in the
region, due to earlier
explorers from France)
and in some of the Indian
languages they might
encounter. One of the
voyageurs, a man named
Pierre Cruzatte, also
happened to be a
better-than-average
fiddle player. In many
respects, the travelers
were completely on their
own for supplies and
survival, yet,
incredibly, only one of
them died during the
voyage. Jefferson had
outfitted them with food,
weapons, medicine, and
clothing — and
along with other
trinkets, a box of 200
jaw harps to be used in
trading with the Indians.
Their trip was long,
perilous to the point of
near catastrophe, and
arduous. The dream of a
Northwest Passage proved
ephemeral, but the
northwestern quarter of
the continent had finally
been explored, mapped,
and described to an
anxious world. When the
party returned to St.
Louis in 1806, and with
the Louisiana Purchase
now part of the United
States, they were greeted
as national heroes.Ihave
written a sizeable number
of works for wind
ensemble that draw their
inspiration from the
monumental spaces found
in the American West.
Four of them (Arches, The
Yellowstone Fires,
Glacier, and Zion) take
their names, and in large
part their being, from
actual national parks in
Utah, Wyoming, and
Montana. But Upriver,
although it found its
voice (and its finale) in
the magnificent Columbia
Gorge in Oregon, is about
a much larger region.
This piece, like its
brother works about the
national parks,
doesn’t try to
tell a story. Instead, it
captures the flavor of a
certain time, and of a
grand adventure. Cast in
one continuous movement
and lasting close to
fourteen minutes, the
piece falls into several
subsections, each with
its own heading: The
Dream (in which
Jefferson’s vision
of a vast expanse of
western land is opened);
The Promise, a chorale
that re-appears several
times in the course of
the piece and represents
the seriousness of the
presidential mission; The
River; The Voyageurs; The
River II ; Death and
Disappointment; Return to
the Voyage; and The River
III .The music includes
several quoted melodies,
one of which is familiar
to everyone as the
ultimate “river
song,†and which
becomes the
through-stream of the
work. All of the quoted
tunes were either sung by
the men on the voyage, or
played by
Cruzatte’s fiddle.
From various journals and
diaries, we know the men
found enjoyment and
solace in music, and
almost every night
encampment had at least a
bit of music in it. In
addition to Cruzatte,
there were two other
members of the party who
played the fiddle, and
others made do with
singing, or playing upon
sticks, bones, the
ever-present jaw harps,
and boat horns. From
Lewis’ journals, I
found all the tunes used
in Upriver: Shenandoah
(still popular after more
than 200 years),
V’la bon vent,
Soldier’s Joy,
Johnny Has Gone for a
Soldier, Come Ye Sinners
Poor and Needy (a hymn
sung to the tune
“Beech
Springâ€) and
Fisher’s Hornpipe.
The work follows an
emotional journey: not
necessarily step-by-step
with the Voyage of
Discovery heroes, but a
kind of grand arch.
Beginning in the mists of
history and myth,
traversing peaks and
valleys both real and
emotional (and a solemn
funeral scene), finding
help from native people,
and recalling their zeal
upon finding the one
great river that will, in
fact, take them to the
Pacific. When the men
finally roar through the
Columbia Gorge in their
boats (a feat that even
the Indians had not
attempted), the
magnificent river
combines its theme with
the chorale of
Jefferson’s
Promise. The Dream is
fulfilled: not quite the
one Jefferson had
imagined (there is no
navigable water passage
from the Missouri to the
Pacific), but the dream
of a continental
destiny.

Composer Bud
Woodruff takes his
musical inspiration for
Adventurer's Dream from a
rooster named Wally. Mr.
Woodruff turns this
charming four-note crow
into the main thematic
material for this piece
that is reminiscent of
classic movie
scores. The principal
theme to this piece has
an interesting history .
We had a very young
rooster named Wally . He
had a quite rhythmic
four-pitched crow, which
was very unique and
consistent . As he aged,
his crow settled into
pitches and the opening
melodic figure of this
piece is the very pitches
and rhythm of
Wally’s crow .
However, Wally had a
touch of a glissando
between the last two
pitches, which I chose to
eliminate, for
musicality’s sake
. Wally's crow is spun
out in different ways and
used one way or another
in all the sections of
the piece . Wally was a
very energetic, if not
egotistical, young bird,
and the piece should be
performed accordingly, in
a dashing, swashbuckling,
heroic style, which Wally
would appreciate greatly
and agree that it was
very
appropriate!Rehearsal
suggestions:The most
difficult thing to
accomplish in this work
will be deciding if you
want the repeated
eight-note figure on the
string or off the string
. I don’t care as
long as it sounds
staccato . On the string,
it needs to be played at
or by the camber point;
off the string, that
point will change
depending upon your
tempo, but the stroke
itself should remain
consistent .Although the
basses never have the
melody, they are a
critically important
section and can make or
break this piece . Their
part counters the others
and fills in rhythmic
gaps in a number of
places . It needs to be
played aggressively and
metronomically; they are
the glue that makes the
piece work . The cellos
need to sing for all they
are worth at m . 63 and
do so with joy in their
hands . Their theme needs
to be very lyrical and
smooth . The
countermelody at m . 79
should be understated,
yet not buried while
being intertwined with
the cellos’ theme
. It harkens back to the
main theme and needs a
dreamy quality to it .The
piece was written as a
string orchestra piece .
The optional harp part
was added later and is
not necessary for an
effective performance of
the piece . However, it
does add some extra
variety and color to the
piece, and reinforces the
basses when they fill in
those rhythmic gaps to
which I referred earlier
.A very special thanks
goes to harpist Jane
Minnis for the great and
insightful suggestions
for this part .Thank you
for playing this piece .
I trust you will enjoy it
as much as I do .
