Time
is one of the main
factors impacting the
world and our lives.
Einstein saw time as the
relationship of the
motion of one object
relative to the position
of another object, as
measured through
observation. But can we
really measure time
objectively? Music, the
art which moves through
time, can affect our
perception of time, and
can affect each person's
perception of time
differently. Depending on
the emotion it
stimulates, music can
make time seem to pass
quickly or slowly. A
composer can use music to
convey time to an
audience and different
musical ideas can create
different sensations of
time. Absence of Time is
a concerto for woodwind
quartet and orchestra. It
has three main sections
(fast, slow, fast),
recalling traditional
concerto form, but it
does not use the solo
instruments in the
traditional way, i.e., as
soloists in contest with
the orchestra. Inspired
by the idea of
juxtaposing different
experiences of time, I
divided the instruments
into two groups: the four
soloists and the
orchestra. The orchestra
functions mostly as the
keeper of time (real
time) while the quartet
of soloists fluctuates
(in imaginary time or in
the absence of time)
around the orchestra's
time. While the quartet's
instruments do play
solos, they also play in
ensemble with the
orchestra. You could say
that they play in both
imaginary time (as
soloists) and in real
time (with the
orchestra). In addition
to this, the woodwind
section of the orchestra
plays in conversation
with the solo quartet,
calling it back to real
time. Fusion is achieved
at the end of the piece
through the use of
strong, driving rhythm.
Absence of Time was
commissioned by the
Pacific Symphony and was
first performed by the
Pacific Symphony and the
Pacific Symphony Woodwind
Quartet with Carl St.
Clair as conductor on
October 20, 2016.

Augus
t 4, 1964 was
commissioned by the
Dallas Symphony for the
2008 celebration of
President Lyndon B.
Johnson’s
centennial year. The
75-minute oratorio
focuses on two events
that came to a head on
August 4, 1964, events
that defined LBJ’s
presidency: the discovery
of the bodies of three
slain civil rights
workers in Mississippi,
and the bombing of North
Vietnam, which
accelerated U.S.
involvement in the
Vietnam war. Gene
Scheer’s
thoroughly-researched
libretto includes actual
transcripts of White
House phone conversations
and government documents,
as well as letters from
the mothers of the slain
civil rights workers.

Students
will enjoy the musical
conversations that take
place when they perform
this trio sonata from the
17th century. The stately
Preludio in C major is
accompanied by a soaring
bass line that is an
excellent introduction to
the art of Baroque
continuo playing.
Following the Allegro,
the first theme returns
to close out this classy,
elegant piece of music.
All parts remain in 1st

This
popular folk song from
the Hebei Province, a
unique geographical area
surrounding the capital
city of Beijing, is a
great favorite there
because of its memorable
melody. In his score
notes Mr. Wang explains
that Chinese duets
resemble a
question-and-answer
conversation between
voices, which aptly
describes the form and
character of this setting
for student strings.
Duration 3:10.
