The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

In
the fall of 1909 Sibelius
wrote in his diary: At
Koli! One of the greatest
impressions in my life.
Plans [for] 'La
Montagne'! These plans
proved to be for the
Fourth Symphony. The
composition process was
not an easy one and in
the end - according to
his diary - Sibelius was
struggling with God! and
only just able to finish
the work in time for the
premiere in spring 1911:
My new symphony is a
total protest against
present-day compositions.
Nothing - absolutely
nothing of the circus [in
it]. This extraordinary
work was at first found
difficult to understand
although its technical
brilliance was
recognized. The
appreciation of the
Fourth has, however,
grown in the course of
years.

Of

as the basis for
Copland's ballet,
Appalachian Spring.
Arranged here for
strings, it combines
simple pentatonic

It was only
shortly after the 5th
Symphony that Beethoven
completed the Pastoral
Symphony. The two formed
a complementary work
pair, consigned together
to a patron in June 1808,
publicly premiered in
Vienna in December 1808,
and published by
Breitkopf & Hartel in the
spring of 1809. During
this period, Beethoven
revised the symphony
several times. Only in
the course of preparing
for publication did
Beethoven send Breitkopf
& Hartel a letter,
together with a list of
corrections, disclosing
the title that he
desired, Pastoral
Symphony or recollections
of country life. More an
expression of feeling
than painting. The
Pastoral with its
tone-painting elements
gives evidence of
Beethoven's closeness to
nature, characterizing in
five movements his
various experiences and
images of nature. Based
on the music text of the
Beethoven Complete
Edition, the new
performance material of
this recently published
edition presents the
current, authoritative
status of Beethoven
research for this
work.

Composed
during the summer and
fall of 1974, Barnes'
FIRST SYMPHONY, Op. 35
was his master's thesis
at The University of
Kansas. It was premiered
in the spring semester of
1976 by their Symphonic
Band, Robert E. Foster
conducting. The following
year, the symphony was
awarded the American
Bandmasters Ostwald
Composition prize, which
led to a second
performance (of only the
first two movements) by
the Northwestern Wind
Ensemble at the American
Bandmasters convention
with Col. Jack Cline (U.S
Marine Band) conducting.
Following this
performance, Barnes
submitted the work to
several publishers, all
of which declined on the
basis it was too long and
difficult to be
marketable. For this
reason, Barnes set the
work aside and there it
remained until 2022, when
an offer came from the
Osaka Shion Wind
Orchestra to record all
nine of
Barnes'symphonies to
help celebrate their
100th anniversary. Barnes
seized the opportunity,
engraving all four
movements, with revisions
and corrections, an
effort that took seven
days a week for two
months to complete. As a
result, after almost
fifty years, all nine of
the Barnes symphonies are
finally available for
performance.
