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.

The Quest
of the Magi was one of
the working titles for
John Henry Hopkins Jr.'s
famous carol, We Three
Kings. Written in 1857
for a Christmas pageant
in New York City, We
Three Kings tells the
tale of the Magis'
journey to find a newly
born king in a faraway
land and the precious
gifts they brought with
them. This piece focuses
more on the journey of
following yonder star.
Traveling across many
countries in the first
century was a perilous
task, full of danger,
thievery, and possible
death, not to mention
these men were traveling
with some of the most
precious and expensive
cargo one could possess.
This piece chronicles the
magi acquiring myrrh,
frankincense, and gold
for their journey. Each
treasure is represented
by its own motif and
woven into Hopkins'
original carol.

Stories, sagas
and legends--who among us
doesn't know them? Always
delivered with a tinge of
brutality, these
cautionary tales are a
legacy of moral education
from times past:
inquisitive children
alone in the forest are
generally eaten by a
witch; the
“Soup-Kasperâ€
of Hoffmann's
Struwwelpeter dies from
starvation rather than
eating his soup; anyone
letting in strangers
usually gets devoured;
anyone who plays with
matches gets burned; and
thumb-suckers get their
thumbs cut off. The list
of unfortunate demises is
almost endless.In the
tale of The Pied Piper of
Hamelin, parents lose
their children through
greed, ridicule, scorn
and a failure to
appreciate art. There is
still a street in the
town of Hamelin in which
neither drumming nor
playing has not been
allowed since 130
children disappeared into
a mountain, never to be
seen again. This
composition by Otto M.
Schwarz opens with
exactly this scene,
taking us back to the
year 1284. As in many
towns at the time,
Hamelin in Germany
suffered with hygiene
problems--rats and mice
began to multiply
rapidly, and the town was
overrun with the plague.
There appeared a man
dressed in colorful
clothes who promised the
locals to free them from
this burden. They agreed
and settled on a fee.
Then the man pulled out a
pipe and began to play.
When the rats and mice
heard this, they followed
him. He led the animals
into the Weser River,
where they all drowned.
Back in town, the people
refused to pay him. They
didn't recognize this
man's skills and
knowledge and were only
prepared to pay for
simple labour. A pact
with the devil was made,
which led to the Pied
Piper leaving the town in
a furious rage. One
Sunday, when many people
were at church, he
returned, took out his
flute and began to play.
The town's children were
so enchanted by his
playing that they
followed him. He led them
out of the town and
disappeared with them
forever into a mountain.
Of all the children, only
two survived--however one
was mute, and one was
blind. In the street from
which the children left
Hamelin, music may no
longer be played in
memory of this event.

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

.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

Three
Washington Statues
was commissioned by the
United States Army Band
â??Pershings Ownâ?,
led by Colonel Thomas H.
Palmatier. Washington
D.C. contains some of the
worldâ??s most iconic
monuments, memorials and
statues. Philip Sparke
has chosenthree of these
as the inspiration for
this piece: â??The
Lincoln Memorialâ?? in
the form of a Greek Doric
temple in which the
composer depicts the
grandeur of this
monument; â??The Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Memorialâ?? on which
steps the iconic speech
â??I havea dreamâ?? was
given - the music is both
reverential as well as
powerful referring to
Martin Luther Kingsâ??
speech; and the
â??Encoreâ?? statue in
memory of the world
famousAfrican-American
composer, pianist and
bandleader Duke
Ellington. In this
finalmovement, Philip
Sparke catches the
virtuosic, energetic and
unique dynamism of
Ellingtonsâ??
music.

Washington D.C. is het
decor van een aantal van
de meest iconische
monumenten,gedenktekens
en standbeelden van de

Sparke heeft er drie
uitgekozen als inspiratie
voor dit werk: The
Lincoln Memorial, in de
vorm van een Griekse
Dorische tempel, waarin
de grandeur van het
monument wordt verklankt;
het MartinLuther King Jr.
Memorial, het gebouw waar
de iconische toespraak
â??I have a dreamâ??
ooit weerklonk de sfeer
is respectvol en
eerbiedig, maar de muziek
weerspiegelt tevens de
karakteristiekekracht die
ervan uitgaat; en het
beeld â??Encoreâ??
vancomponist, pianist en
bandleider Duke Ellington
in dit laatste deel geeft
Philip Sparke de
virtuoze, energieke,
unieke en dynamische
stijl van Ellingtons
muziek
weer.

beschreibt er die
Erhabenheit des Lincoln

seinen dorischen
Säulen in Form eines
griechischen Tempels
erbaut wurde. Das Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Memorialâ??erinnert an
die legendäre Rede
Martin Luther Kings I
have a dreamâ?? (Ich
habe einen Traumâ??).
Die ehrfurchtsvolle und
zugleich kraftvolle Musik
ist ein Tribut an diese
Rede. Die
StatueEncoreâ?? erinnert
an den weltbekannten
afroamerikanischenKomponi
sten, Pianisten und
Bandleader Duke
