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.

The piece
traces key events in the
life of Haakon the Good,
later to become King
Haakon I (ca. 921-960),
who had been fostered by
King Athelstan of England
as part of a peace
agreement made by his
father (The Future King).
The English king brought
him up in the Christian
religion and, on the news
of his father's death,
provided him with ships
and men for an expedition
against his half-brother
Eirik Bloodaxe, who had
been proclaimed king of
Norway. On his arrival he
travelled north (The
Journey to Trondheim),
where he began to gain
the support of the
landowners by promising
to give up the rights of
taxation his father had
previously claimed.
Elrik's sons allied
themselves with the
Danes, but were
invariably defeated by
Haakon, who was
successful in everything
he undertook except in
his attempt to introduce
Christianity to the
country (The Missionary
King), which aroused an
opposition he did not
feel strong enough to
face. One of his most
famous victories was The
Battle of Rastarkalv
(near Frei) in 955. By
placing ten standards far
apart along a low ridge
(to give the impression
his army was bigger than
it actually was), he
managed to fool Eirik's
sons that they were
outnumbered (the ten
standards are represented
by ten loud chords that
begin in m. 420). The
Danes fled and were
slaughtered by Haakon's
army.

Valon is a
one-part composition. The
surprising opening
measures describe the
sudden entrance into
another world. After
these initial measures,
we hear a choral-like
melody, which is repeated
three times in different
instrumentations with
increasing intensity.
This represents the
procession of the ghosts
dwelling in the
underworld of Avalon,
headed by the mighty
magician Merlin.The
exalted sound is then
suddenly interrupted by a
fast movement, in which
ostinato figures
alternate with bi-tonal
motives. This represents
the attempt of some evil
characters to invade
Avalon. Mordred is the
leader of this horde and
together they disturb the
peace and quiet in the
otherwisecalm Avalon. The
flourish of trumpets
heralds the entrance of
the Knights of the Round
Table who drive away the
intruders and return to
their castle, Tintagel,
in a triumphal
procession. Upon their
return, the next problem
presents itself. An
inexplicable disease
plagues the resting
ghosts.The Knights and
the Council of the Wise
are convened to find out
the cause of this
problem. Musically this
can be heard in the
repetition of the initial
themes. The Knights and
the Council of the Wise
determine that the
presence of mortals is
the reason that the
resting ghosts are
suffering. There is
simply no room for mortal
souls in Avalon. After a
powerful statement by
King Arthur, we hear a
glissando referring to
the very first measures,
and… we are back in
the normal world. The
journey through the
underworld has come to an
end and a dream is over.

Chase
the Horizon is
a musical journey
depicting a lonesome
cowboy riding on his
horse, chasing the
horizon. Composer John
Pasternak has delivered a
strong and musically
rewarding piece for the
young band. It begins
with a nice legato
section before setting
off on the journey with a
tuneful theme. The piece
develops through several
contrasting sections
finishing in a dramatic
conclusion. This piece
is a story of new
beginnings. While writing
this piece I pictured a
lonely cowboy riding on
his horse, chasing the
horizon. The beginning
for this piece should
have a very legato feel
except for the Xylophone
part, which should use a
very abrupt, staccato
articulation. Measure 9
should take on a staccato
and light feel. The
feeling should remain
light except for the
instruments with the
melody, who should play
their parts with a more
legato feel. Dynamics
throughout this first
section are crucial. All
parts at m. 22 should
play with a legato style
with focus on the
dynamics. The trumpet
interjection at m. 25
should be played very
light. At m. 32 there
should be contrast with
all the different styles
of articulation. Measure
42 should not slow down
too quickly as the group
should not ever get
slower than the tempo
marking at m. 49.The slow
section at m. 49 should
be played soft with a
legato style growing
gradually through m. 61.
The articulation at m. 61
should be short and
staccato, and be careful
not to rush. The sections
with the melody here
should contrast the
staccato of the ensemble
with a legato style. When
the ensemble arrives at
m. 78 the piece should
have a maestoso-style
feel. The rit. at m. 88
should not become slower
than the tempo at m. 92.
At m. 92, let the
horns and saxophones
really shine through.

Great Britain
has had a National Youth
Brass Band since 1952,
which caters for players
between the ages of 12
and 18 and has produced
many outstanding
instrumentalists in its
distiguished history. An
exciting development took
place in July 2004 when
the first summer course
of a new National
Children's Brass Band of
Great Britain, for
players between the ages
of 8 and 13, was held in
Bromsgrove, Worcester.
Renowned cornet soloist
and conductor Lynda
Nicholson was appointed
music director and she
commissioned Philip
Sparke to write a piece
for this inaugural
course. The Pioneers was
the result. The title
refers to the fact that
the NCBBGB was starting
out on a new adventure
but is also a salute to
the bicentenary of an
expedition by two of the
composer's heroes -
Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark. They were
commissioned by US
President Thomas
Jefferson to find the
headwaters of the
Mississippi and a route
to the Pacific following
the Louisiana Purchase in
1803, which doubled the
size of USA. They set
out, as the “Corps
of Discovery,” from
Louisville, Kentucky, in
May 1804; not only did
they succeed in reaching
the Pacific through
hostile territory, but
also found their way back
- in three years! The
piece is not descriptive
of the journey but gives
the composer the
opportunity to celebrate
the 200th anniversary of
this amazing feat.

Concert Band. For
centuries, people have
looked into the heavens
and dreamed. Whether
gazing at the moon or
stars, thoughts of
distant places have
enchanted all of us.
Undoubtedly, the sheer
enormity of the universe
has fostered wonderment,
sparked exploration, and
inspired profound
questions that grapple
with the meaning of life
itself. Although the
title of this work evokes
images of space
exploration, it is really
a metaphor of the
profound journey that
occurs each time we
experience music. Music
has been defined as
humanly shaped sound for
expressive purposes. But
it is more than that.
Music is a rocket ship,
lifting us upward and
propelling us to
celestial places - places
that allow us to realize
the depth of our
humanness and the
greatness of our Creator.

Altho
ugh some stories in Greek
mythology reveal a
different side to his
character, Apollo was
widely regarded to hold a
cheerful personality and
communicating joy through
the music he played on
his lyre. Apollo Arise is
an energetic and spirited
work for band ideal for
opening a concert. The
uplifting and exuberant
melodic material lead the
group on a sonic journey
to capture the joy and
light music can bring to
both the audience and the
performer. Program
NotesAmong the many
stories in Greek
mythology, Apollo holds a
unique place as a complex
Olympian god known for
truth, prophecy, healing,
poetry, plague,
knowledge, light and
music. Although some
stories reveal a
different side to his
character, Apollo was
widely regarded to hold a
cheerful personality and
communicated joy through
the music he played on
his lyre. Apollo Arise is
an energetic and spirited
work for band, ideal for
opening a concert. The
uplifting and exuberant
melodic material lead the
group on a sonic journey
to capture the joy and
light music can bring to
both the audience and
performer. From the
dynamic opening fanfare
to the soaring motifs and
rhythms that follow,
Apollo Arise provides a
wonderful opportunity for
the ensemble to reach for
new musical heights in
their performance! Â
 Rehearsal Notes and
SuggestionsThe opening
twenty-four measures of
the work are important
for the rest of the work
to unfold successfully.
Encourage the ensemble to
play with a unified
articulation style,
maintain a proper
balance, and establish a
consistent tempo through
this section as several
recurring rhythms must be
performed consistently.
Measure 38 features a
trumpet solo, so be sure
that the rest of the
ensemble balances their
line to support the solo
instrument. In the
section that begins at m.
67, there is an optional
solo opportunity for
trumpet and trombone.
Both of these sections
provide nice contrast
against the full ensemble
sections that are present
in the work. The section
at m. 81 includes a
call-and-response section
between woodwind, brass
and percussion groups. Be
sure that as groups
enter, the tempo remains
consistent and that the
winds articulation style
is unified and
complimentary to the
percussion. As the
opening fanfare returns
at m. 101, remind the
ensemble to play with
consistent style, balance
and tempo as they did in
the opening. As the
ensemble begins the part
of the journey with
Apollo at m. 110, the
music contains unique
layers that must work
together to be effective
and set up the material
that begins at m. 127.
Encourage the group to
play so they can hear all
other lines, and allow
their energy to grow into
a focused musical
celebration by the final
note. Thank you in
advance for your support
of this music, and I wish
you and your ensemble
well as Apollo Arise
welcomes the audience to
your concert hall.
