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.

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.

FJH Beginning Band. This
fanfare captures the
spirit of Olympia, the
birthplace of the Olympic
Games. The Games began in
776 B.C. In honor of
Zeus. Since then, they
have become the central
location for heroes and
champions to compete for
the highest honors in the
world. This work also
serves as a reminder that
heroes are all around us
- in teachers who stay
after school to help
students, in parents who
strive to give their
children the best
possible lives, and most
of all in students
themselves, the young
champions of our world
who see nothing between
them and their dreams.
The mallet part calls for
multiple sets of bells
(or other metallic
instruments such as the
vibraphone). Certainly,
two to three players can
really make this an
effective part. There are
two Percussion 1 parts
included: a normal part
and an advanced part. The
level of the snare
drummer will determine
which part should be
used. However, both parts
may be used
simultaneously if
percussionists are

When Hearts
Tremble is an emotion
packed piece dedicated to
musician friends lost all
to soon. This beautiful
composition by Brant
Karrick reflects on the
fragility of human
existence, joyous
memories of loved ones
and their effect on
everyone around them, and
maintaining hope for what
the future will hold when
all feels lost. This tour
de force piece perfectly
displays Karrick's
polished compositional
craft with impeccable
scoring, beautiful
melodic writing, and
exceptional
orchestrational
color. While the
day-to-day grind of our
lives can be filled with
overwhelming obligations,
goals and commitments, it
is sometimes very easy to
forget just how precious
and fragile life is . It
is so easy to get caught
up in our own personal
feelings and worries that
we sometimes don’t
realize and appreciate
the many blessings we
have, especially
friendships . On
Wednesday, November 18,
2015 the Jefferson High
School Band in Jefferson,
Georgia lost two of its
members to a fatal car
accident . The victims
were brothers . Music was
a constant part of their
lives, and the boys were
talented percussionists
in the marching band . To
help with the grieving
process the school and
community commissioned
this piece to celebrate
the lives of William and
Alex Trimble .As a
father, I cannot imagine
losing a child, let alone
two, and beginning this
piece was very difficult
as I felt extreme
anguish, especially for
the parents . But it was
decided the piece should
primarily reflect the
enthusiasm, youthful
spirits and positive
influence these two young
men demonstrated as they
were deeply loved by
their band mates,
community and family .
There are four main
themes, each representing
the feelings and emotions
that are certain to occur
after a loss of loved
ones . The first theme is
a short, introductory
fanfare, strong and bold,
to stand for courage . A
second dance-like melody
features a liltingly
mixed meter to portray a
youthful and carefree
innocence . This soon
changes into a third more
song-like, and stately
theme intended to provide
encouragement as we move
forward through life .The
middle of the piece
includes a soft
transition as two snare
drummers give voice to
the boys, allowing them
to thank their friends
and assuring them that it
will be okay . This moves
directly into a slow
melody introduced by the
saxophones (Alex, the
younger brother was also
a saxophonist) and is a
time for reflection and
allows for feelings of
sadness at losing beloved
friends . However, a
second statement of the
same theme, now at full
volume with a strong
percussion cadence,
intends to lift the
spirits and allows all
friends to unite in
joyous celebration of
life . Both the
enthusiastic dance theme
and stately lyrical theme
return, now in different
keys, and work their way
toward the highly
energetic burst of
glorious sound in the
short and wild coda .
When Hearts Tremble was
written to celebrate the
joys of youth and life,
and should remind us that
our friends and loved
ones are precious, and we
should live each day to
bring more joy into the
world and into the lives
of others .

Festi
val March is presented in
a new edition arranged by
Richard Summers. It is a
tour de force composition
for advanced bands and
hearkens back to a bygone
era during the golden age
of the band movement.
Directors and students
will hear operatic music
from composer Victor
Herbert who is best known
for his Christmas
classic, Toyland. This
is a richly scored
masterpiece that deserves
to return to standard
status in concert band
repertoire. We are proud
to bring you this new
setting of this cherished
classic. About the
CompositionFestival March
by Victor Herbert was
written for the
Pittsburgh Symphony and
first performed under
Herbert’s
direction in Chicago on
Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating
the 12th anniversary
of Chicago’s
Auditorium Theatre. Also
known as the Auditorium
Festival March, he
included it many times
for programs of a
festival nature. The main
theme Auld Lang Syne, a
famous Scottish folk
song, is incorporated
many times along with
brass fanfares,
interludes and march
melodies. This band
arrangement is very
similar to the original
orchestral composition.
The missing string parts,
the addition of the
saxophone section and
other band instruments,
editing of the
superimposed triplets
against
sixteenth notes, to
one or the other, and
articulations suitable
for the band, were major
challenges. The style of
early twentieth-century
American music is
captured here. This
arrangement will give
band musicians access to
a fine piece of music
that could only be
appreciated by orchestra
musicians up to now.
Although suitable for
many occasions, this
piece is a great way to
begin or end a December
holiday concert.
 Notes to the
ConductorVictor
Herbert’s music
can be interpreted in a
romantic style, which is
the conductor’s
responsibility to read in
nuance and musicality.
The beginning and other
triple-tonguing sections
of this piece have a
March of the Toys quality
to it. Â The interludes
and Auld Lang Syne
sections are legato and
musical. The March
sections can also be
shaped musically.About
the ComposerVictor
Herbert was born in
Ireland in 1861 and
raised in Germany. When
he moved to America in
1886, he joined the
Metropolitan Opera as
principal cellist and
eventually composed many
works including
forty-three operettas
on Broadway from the
1890s to World War I,
including Naughty
Marietta and Babes in
Toyland. Victor Herbert
conducted the Pittsburgh
Symphony from 1898 to
1904 and then was the
conductor of his own
Victor Herbert Orchestra.
He formed ASCAP with a
group of composers in
1914 and was the director
until his death in 1924.
Among his thirty-one
compositions for
orchestra, Festival March
was a favorite of his and
was eventually published
by Carl Fischer Music.

Herbert’s
direction in Chicago on
Dec. 9, 1901 celebrating
the 12th anniversary
of Chicago’s
Auditorium Theatre. Also
known as the Auditorium
Festival March, he
included it many times
for programs of a
festival nature. The main
theme Auld Lang Syne, a
famous Scottish folk
song, is incorporated
many times along with
brass fanfares,
interludes and march
melodies. This band
arrangement is very
similar to the original
orchestral composition.
The missing string parts,
the addition of the
saxophone section and
other band instruments,
editing of the
superimposed triplets
against
sixteenth notes, to
one or the other, and
articulations suitable
for the band, were major
challenges. The style of
early twentieth-century
American music is
captured here. This
arrangement will give
band musicians access to
a fine piece of music
that could only be
appreciated by orchestra
musicians up to now.
Although suitable for
many occasions, this
piece is a great way to
begin or end a December
holiday concert.
 Notes to the
ConductorVictor
Herbert’s music
can be interpreted in a
romantic style, which is
the conductor’s
responsibility to read in
nuance and musicality.
The beginning and other
triple-tonguing sections
of this piece have a
March of the Toys quality
to it. Â The interludes
and Auld Lang Syne
sections are legato and
musical. The March
sections can also be
shaped musically.About
the ComposerVictor
Herbert was born in
Ireland in 1861 and
raised in Germany. When
he moved to America in
1886, he joined the
Metropolitan Opera as
principal cellist and
eventually composed many
works including
forty-three operettas
on Broadway from the
1890s to World War I,
including Naughty
Marietta and Babes in
Toyland. Victor Herbert
conducted the Pittsburgh
Symphony from 1898 to
1904 and then was the
conductor of his own
Victor Herbert Orchestra.
He formed ASCAP with a
group of composers in
1914 and was the director
until his death in 1924.
Among his thirty-one
compositions for
orchestra, Festival March
was a favorite of his and
was eventually published
by Carl Fischer Music.

In the
Odyssey, dreams come into
the world through one of
two gates. If they come
through the gates of
ivory they are false
dreams. However, if they
come into the world
through the gates of horn
they are true dreams that
tell the user of things
to be, or illuminate
truth. The Gates of Horn
is a dramatic piece for
band that alternates a
syncopated fanfare with a
bold, yet lyrical theme.
These contrasting ideas
chase each other

Prog
ram Notes: It was a happy
coincidence that the
commission for SINFONIA
XVI: TRANSCENDENTAL
VIENNA came from the
Henry David Thoreau
School located in Vienna,
Virginia. Thoreau is one
of the magic names in
American culture: Henry
David Thoreau, one of the
leading figures of the
Transcendentalist
movement, centered in
19th-century New England,
left us a body of unique
philosophical and
poetical writings. To
utter the words, Walden
Pond, is to invoke an
America long past in
physical actuality, but
still present in the
minds and hearts of many
American citizens. The
name, Vienna, of course,
summons thoughts of the
Old World: culture, fine
food, wine, civilized
cities. While
contemplating the form
that SINFONIA XVI should
take, I found myself
thinking of two pillars
of Viennese culture:
expressionism and the
waltz. Musically
speaking, expressionism
reached a zenith in the
works of Arnold
Schoenberg and Alban
Berg. It was Berg, in
particular, that I wanted
to invoke in the outer
movements of my
composition. I knew I
would also have to
include a waltz, and an
invocation of the
mysterious forces that
are contained in both
expressionism and
transcendentalism. Thus
was the structure of the
work generated. The outer
movements with their
vision of the night sky
and the stars, Aldebaran
and Sirius, frame the
central movements, which
are essentially two
versions of the same
material, and are quieter
and less dramatic. The
outer movements are
symmetrical, and share
both pitch and rhythmic
materials. Accordingly, I
see the work as a ternary
form, with the central
movements forming a unit
within the outer frame: A
(Movement 1) B (Movements
2 & 3) A' (Movement 4).
Harmonically, the work
can be summarized by the
two pitch-series which
occur in the opening bars
of Movement 1: the
initial 12-note row, with
a tonal center on F-sharp
(measures 1-6), and the
subsequent D-minor Dorian
7-note row (beginning in
measure 14). Aspects of
these materials occur in
all four movements, but
they are most strongly
present in Movements 1
and 4. Note that the
12-note row is not
subjected to the usual
serial procedures, but
instead is treated as a
signifier and is left
unchanged. Since the
fourth movement takes up
where the first movement
leaves off, I can
conceive of one
interpretation of
SINFONIA XVI as an
evocation of Thoreau
himself contemplating two
of the brightest stars on
a clear, cold night.
Aldebaran is an orange,
first-magnitude star,
located in the
constellation Taurus;
Sirius, the Dog Star, is
the brightest star in the
sky, and is located in
the constellation Canis
Major. Thoreau interrupts
his star-gazing to
entertain some inward
thoughts, waking dreams,
as it were, then returns
his gaze to the splendid
night sky and all its
treasures. Although many
other interpretations of
the material are
possible, it is important
to remember that the
abstract materials of the
piece -- pitch, rhythm,
structure -- are what
count the most. Ensemble

A lot is known
about the American
composer Leroy Anderson.
This son of Swedish
immigrants played the
piano, organ, accordion,
trombone, tuba and double
bass. He spoke several
languages fluently and
graduated from Harvard
with first-class
honours.While on military
service, the army also
commissioned him to write
a manual on Icelandic
grammar.He already
started writing musical
arrangements as a
student, and from his
30th year arranged and
composed for the Boston
Pops Orchestra. Such
melodiesas Serenata, The
Typewriter, Sleigh Ride
and Bugler�s
Holiday made him world
famous. His best-known
work, Blue Tango, reached
number one in the US
charts in 1952, and it
sold more than a million
copies. In 1975, a year
after hisdeath, he was
given a star at the Walk
of Fame in Hollywood.Most
of his works last no
longer than three
minutes, about the
maximum length of a
single at that time. One
work that lasts longer is
his 1953 Piano Concerto
in C for piano and
orchestra.The first
performance was in
Chicago, conducted by the
composer and with Eugene
List at the piano.
However, after three
performances he was no
longer happy with the
work and withdrew it. He
always intended to revise
it, but never got round
to it. Itwas only in 1989
that the Anderson family
decided to republish the
work.This three-part
composition is on the one
hand characterised by a
careless elegance, but on
the other one can hear
the influence of
Rachmaninoff, Copland,
Gershwin, and
evenBeethoven and Mozart,
as well as the Viennese
classics.Anderson used
the sonata form for the
first movement. It ends
with a cadenza that
carries us on into the
second part (in e minor).
The third part is a
typically cheerful
American folk dance in2/4
time, a so-called Hoe
Down, with a lilting,
lyrical passage as its
middle section. At the
end comes a solo passage
followed by a rapid
close.In this piano
concerto, Anderson
combines a rigidly
classical form of
composition with simple
andappealing themes and
elements from light
music. So this work is a
perfect synthesis of
light music and what is
called serious music, in
the same way as
Gershwin�s
Rhapsody in Blue. A work
that can be played
equally well in a
concerthall, at an
open-air concert or even
a pop
concert.

Roger Zare
is living every young
composer's dream. At a
tender age, he has
already been lauded by
the best, and his
compositions continue to
earn awards. Green Flash,
his first publication
with Theodore Presser
Company, was written in
2007 for the USC Thornton
Symphony, received a BMI
Student Composer award in
2007, was chosen to be
read at the 2008 American
Composers Orchestra
Underwood New Music
Readings, won the ASCAP
Rudolf Nissim Prize in
2009, and has now won the
2012 Symphony in C Young
Composers' Competition.
For more about Green
Flash and a YouTube video
of the premiere
performance, see the
composer's website
(www.rogerzare.com/greenf
lash.htm). A
“green flashâ€
is a rare atmospheric
phenomenon that occurs as
a sunset reaches its end.
If conditions are just
right, then a spark of
green will hover on the
horizon for a fleeting
moment as the sun
disappears. I first
witnessed this subtle
effect in Florida in
2005. Seeing the mythical
event for the first time
inspiredthis composition.
Green Flash is a musical
journey from daybreak to
sunset. It focuses on the
manipulation of colors
and textures throughout
its five sections. The
musical events are
designed to paint a
picture of various scenes
during the day. The piece
begins with the heartbeat
of the world emerging
from the silentdarkness
of the night. As night
transitions to dawn,
waves of color propagate
from the repeating low C,
building up through the
harmonic series to become
the vibrant colors of
sunrise. Eventually all
twelve notes of the
chromatic scale are
sounding together.
Abruptly, a morning fog
engulfs the scene. Out of
the mist rises the only
melodic theme in the
work, played by a solo
English horn, and later
taken up by other solo
winds. Once the fog
dissipates, the sky fills
with the playful dance of
wispy cirrus clouds. A
rainbow-like halo
surrounds the sun, adding
a burst of color to the
scene. This carefree,
optimistic cloud dance is
invaded by a menacing
front of cumulonimbus
clouds. A storm rages at
a frantic pace, but in
its dying breath yields
the most glorious of
sunsets. Only as the last
glint of sunlight
disappears below the
horizon, a faint sparkle
of green lingers in the
atmosphere.

The magical
world of King Arthur,
Merlin and Mordred is the
setting for Avalon.
Unexpected opening
figures portray the
sudden entrance into
another world. A
choral-like melody
represents the procession
of ghosts headed by the
mighty magician Merlin.
Suddenly, ostinato
figures and bi-tonal
motifs indicate the
attempt of Mordred and
his horde to disturb the
peace and quiet in the
otherwise calm Avalon.
Following a powerful
statement of King Arthur,
we hear a glissando
referring back to the
opening bars, and…
we are back in the normal
world. The journey
through the underworld
has come to an end and
the dream is
over.

friedliche Avalon wird
schlagartig mit

in Aufruhr gebracht. Aber
nach einer energischen
