A Grateful Tail
- Movement by Movement
Siriusly, Dog Star
Sirius, the brightest
star in the night sky,
has been used by
travelers and navigators
for thousands of years as
a guiding star and so it
is here as the opening
movement for the
symphony. Sirius, the
cornerstone to the
constellation Canis
Maggiore or Big Dog sits
at the foot of Orion, the
hunter, leading the way.
Highly cinematic, the
movement evokes both a
musical and visual sense
of the mythological and
mysterious elements of
Sirius and its Dog
Godstar secrets. From the
clarion call of the
opening, Sirius theme,
the sound is buoyant and
frisky emulating the
nature of doggy playtime.
Puppy pleasures abound as
a doggy four-step, my
turn on the traditional
American two-step dance,
is introduced. The
movement transforms into
an actual orchestrated
frolic of small, large
and medium dog barks
beginning with the winds
(smaller dogs) and
ultimately, the big dog,
brass. The movement
climaxes with the coda
or, Dog Park, where the
winds and the brass bark
and play together over
the, doggy ostinato
four-step rhythm,
culminating with the
final call of the Sirius
theme. Let Sleeping Dogs
Lie, Peacefully It's all
in a dog's day and life.
Tranquility presides over
this supremely gentle,
intermezzo-like movement.
After a day of play,
every dog needs rest. Let
Sleeping Dogs Lie, is a
lyrical andante inspired
by the profound serenity
and beauty of a dog at
rest. The Last Will and
Testament of Silverdene
Emblem O'Neill Based on a
powerful piece of prose
written by the American
playwright, Eugene
O'Neill this text was
intended as a consolation
piece for Carlotta, his
wife, who had become
grief-stricken over the
loss of their beloved
dog, the Dalmatian known
as Blemie.Written for a
singing actor who
personifies the role of
Blemie, a dog at the end
of his life, the movement
plays like a one act,
musical drama as we
follow Blemie through a
wonderfully
three-dimensional,
emotional and
psychological journey
writing his Last Will and
Testament, for those who
have loved him. Wagging
the Tail: Ossia Fido's
Lament A life-affirming
rumba/samba using
Blemie's final words from
O'Neill's text, this
final movement employs
the most unique American
musical invention, the
gospel choir. In order to
make the dances come
alive, this movement also
calls upon the colors of
a rhythm section.
Creating the spirit of an
Irish Funeral, the
movement is a joyful and
revival-like celebration
of a dog's life as its
spirit lives on forever
in the hearts and minds
of dog lovers everywhere.
Remember Me, remember me!

grateful tail. Published

Illum
inating Journey is
composed to celebrate
Maestro Carl St. Clair's
25th Anniversary season
with Pacific Symphony.
Maestro St. Clair is one
of the few conductors who
has dedicated his time to
new music and support for
living composers. I first
encountered Maestro St.
Clair in 2004 when I was
one of the finalists for
the Young Composers
Competition. After I won
that competition, I had
an opportunity to work
with Maestro St. Clair on
the piece that he
commissioned for the
Pacific Symphony in 2005.
That's the beginning of
the journey of our
friendship. Illuminating
Journey is inspired by
Maestro St. Clair's
personality and the music
he loved. The piece is
mainly based on the pitch
material from Maestro St.
Clair's name CARL which
can be translated as C =
C, A = A, R = Re, and L =
La. That pitch material
already has the character
of Illuminating sound for
the open 5th and octave.
The piece also
incorporates some musical
references that have some
meaning for Maestro St.
Clair, such as the
hopefulness of the
melodic intervals from
West Side Story, There's
a Place for Us, composed
by Leonard Bernstein, who
was also Maestro St.
Clair's mentor.
Illuminating Journey
starts with the rhythmic
motion of the pitch C and
moves on to create a set
of pitches. The note C
functions as a center for
the endless energy of
this piece and creates a
triumphant ending. I
would personally like to
thank Maestro St. Clair
for his dedication on my
music and his friendship
throughout the past 10
years. The work with
Maestro St. Clair and the
Pacific Symphony was an
early step in my career
as a composer. I often
mentioned that I may not
be able to come this far
without that part of my
life. Thank you very
much, Maestro St. Clair
and the Pacific Symphony.
Let's celebrate our
Illuminating Journey
together.
