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.

Based on our
popular New Bennett Band
Book series, we have
compiled march-style
warm-ups in a separate
publication so they may
be used by all bands
wishing to learn from
them. These innovative
warm-ups and fundamental
drills are the ultimate
method of teaching and
reinforcing the March
style. How To Use the
March Warm-upsPlaying in
a march style can present
difficulties for young
students. The most
prevalent problem is that
students have a tendency
to play every note too
short. Conversely,
accented notes are
usually played
incorrectly with too much
tongue. Do marches
contain short notes?
Absolutely, but these
shortest of notes should
be reserved for notes
that precede an accent or
notes that are
specifically marked with
a staccato. Think of
unmarked notes as being
separated, but not short
and certainly not clipped
or stopped with the
tongue. Accented notes
should be played with
more weight using air and
more length, and not just
a harder tongue. Accents
are given to show
emphasis to a note and
should be thought of in
this manner.The warm-up
exercises provided in
this collection should
give you many
opportunities to stress
the above-mentioned
comments on march
performance style. The
following gives an
explanation on the
purpose and use of each
of these exercises.No. 1
– Basic Chords and
ModulationsOne of the
challenges of playing
marches with young
students is successfully
performing the key change
at the Trio. This
exercise presents the
three basic chords
(tonic, subdominant and
dominant) in each of the
three keys in this
collection of marches.
You can also use this
exercise to teach and
reinforce the style of
accented notes. You may
want to have your band
play major scales in
succession by fourths to
reinforce the concept of
modulation to the
subdominant that occurs
at the Trio (i.e. the
B≤-major scale,
then the E≤-major
scale, then the
A≤-major scale). I
might suggest getting the
students to try
continuing the pattern
all the way around the
circle of fourths.No. 2
– March Style in
B≤ MajorThis
exercise contains many
opportunities to teach
and reinforce the
difference between
staccato and accented
notes. The melody voices
move up and down the
B≤-major scale,
while other instruments
play chords commonly
found in the marches in
this collection. These
include diminished
chords, secondary
dominant chords (i.e. the
V of the V) and other
common chromatic chords
that Fillmore often
used.No. 3 –
Cakewalk Rhythm in
B≤ MajorThe simple
syncopated rhythm in this
exercise is common to
many marches. This drill
gives you the opportunity
to teach/ reinforce the
standard ar-ticulation
and natural accent of
this rhythmic pattern.
Again, this exercise uses
an ascending and
descending major-scale
pattern as the melodic
basis, accompanied by
chords commonly found in
American- style
marches.No. 4 –
The March Scale in
B≤ MajorI call this
exercise “The March
Scale,†because
often in marches (and
especially in these
marches) the descending
half-step is part of the
melodic material. These
chromatic figures give
the melodies of many
marches their charm and
flow. Thus, I devised
this exercise and others
like it in E≤ major
and A≤ major to
familiarize students with
these patterns. I would
suggest playing the
pattern in a variety of
ways different from what
is written. Here are some
other
possibilities:•
Tongue one, slur
three• Slur two,
tongue two• Tongue
two, slur two•
Tongue one, slur two,
tongue oneGradually
increase the tempo to the
march tempo and the
articulation style will
fall right into
place.Another important
consideration is the
performance of the bass
line and the bass-drum
part. Too often, the bass
drum and bass instruments
play their parts with
equal emphasis on both
beats in the measure.
This is incorrect, and
frequently makes the
marchNo. 5 – March
Style in E≤
MajorThis is a similar to
exercise No. 2, but with
a different rhythmic
pattern. Emphasize the
difference between
accented and unaccented
notes. Also, play the
exercise with line
direction moving the
musical line forward.
Experiment and play the
exercise with different
dynamic choices and with
hairpins up and down in
different ways.No. 6
– More March Style
in E≤ MajorExercise
No. 6 comprises more
rhythmic patterns and
harmonic materials in
E≤ major to teach
and reinforce the march
style. This exercise
em-phasizes the
sixteenth-note rhythm, as
notated in the third
measure of the exercise.
Young stu- dents have a
tendency to
“crush†the
sixteenths; consequently,
they lack clarity. It
would be a good idea to
work this rhythmic figure
on a scale pattern with
all of the instruments in
the band as an additional
warm-up exercise.No. 7
– The March Scale
in E≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 4 and
apply it to this
exercise. Use all of the
various articulations
described above as
well.No. 8 – March
Style in A≤
MajorSee the information
for No. 2 and apply it to
this exercise.No. 9
– Cakewalk Rhythm
in A≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 3 and
apply it to this
exercise.No. 10 –
The March Scale in
A≤ MajorSee the
information for No. 4 and
apply it to this
exercise.Other Ideas for
March PerformanceA
rehearsal practice that
has worked very well for
me is to start out by
having the band play the
march very slowly at
about Å’ = 60 in a
chorale/legato style. The
slow tempo is a fine
opportunity to work on
clarity of harmonic move-
ment and to work on the
balance and blend of the
tutti band sound. This
will pay great dividends
toward improving the
sound of your band.
Gradually increase the
tempo to the march tempo
and the articulation
style will fall right
into place.Another
important consideration
is the performance of the
bass line and the
bass-drum part. Too
often, the bass drum and
bass instruments play
their parts with equal
emphasis on both beats in
the measure. This is
incorrect, and frequently
makes the march.

Roya
l Coronation Dances is
the first sequel to the
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
both being settings of
dance music originally
arranged by Gervaise in
the mid 16th-century (the
next sequel is The
Renaissance Fair, which
uses music of Susato and
Praetorius). Fanfare Ode
& Festival has been
performed by many tens of
thousands of students,
both in high school and
junior high school. I
have heard that some of
them are amazed that the
music they are playing
was first played and
danced to over 400 years
ago. Some students tend
to think that music
started with Handel and
his Messiah to be
followed by Beethoven and
his Fifth Symphony, with
naught in between or
before of consequence.
Although Royal Coronation
Dances is derived from
the same source as
Fanfare Ode & Festival,
they are treated in
different ways. I
envisioned this new suite
programmatically -- hence
the descriptive movement
titles, which I imagined
to be various dances
actually used at some
long-ago coronation. The
first movement depicts
the guests, both noble
and common, flanked by
flag and banner bearers,
arriving at the palace to
view the majestic event.
They are festive, their
flags swirling the air,
their cloaks brightly
colored. In the second
movement, the queen in
stately measure moves to
take her place on the
throne as leader and
protector of the realm.
In the third movement,
the jesters of the court
entertain the guests with
wild games of sport.
Musically, there are
interesting sonorities to
recreate. Very special
attention should be given
to the tambourine/tenor
drum part in the first
movement. Their lively
rhythms give the movement
its power. Therefore they
should be played as
distinctly and
brilliantly as possible.
The xylophone and
glockenspiel add clarity,
but must not be allowed
to dominate. Observe
especially the differing
dynamics; the intent is
to allow much buzzing
bass to penetrate. The
small drum (starting at
meas. 29) should be
played expressively, with
attention to the notated
articulations, with the
brass light and detached,
especially in a lively
auditorium. It is of some
further interest that the
first dance is extremely
modal. The original is
clearly in G mixolydian
mode (scale:
G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G).
However, other editors
might put in F-sharps in
many places (changing the
piece almost to G major),
in the belief that such
ficta would have been
automatically put in by
the 16th-century
performers as they
played. I doubt it. I
have not only eschewed
these within the work,
but even at the cadences.
So this arrangement is
most distinctly modal
(listen to the F-naturals
in meas. 22 and 23, for
instance), with all the
part-writing as Gervaise
wrote it. In the second
movement, be careful that
things do not become too
glued together. In the
16th century this music
might have been played by
a consort of recorders,
instruments very light of
touch and sensitive to
articulation. Concert
band can easily sound
heavy, and although this
movement has been scored
for tutti band, it must
not sound it. It is
essential, therefore,
that you hear all the
instruments, with none
predominating. Only when
each timbre can be heard
separately and
simultaneously will the
best blend occur, and
consequently the greatest
transparency. So aim for
a transparent, spacious
tutti sound in this
movement. Especially have
the flutes, who do this
so well, articulate
rather sharply, so as to
produce a chiffing sound,
and do not allow the
quarter-notes to become
too tied together in the
entire band. The entrance
of the drums (first
tenor, then bass) are
events and as such should
be audible. Incidentally,
this movement begins in F
Major and ends in D
Minor: They really didn't
care so much about those
things then. The third
movement (one friend has
remarked that it is the
most Margolisian of the
bunch, but actually I am
just getting subtler, I
hope) again relies upon
the percussion (and the
scoring) to make its
points. Xylophone in this
movement is meant to be
distinctly audible.
Therefore, be especially
sure that the xylophone
player is secure in the
part, and also that the
tambourine and toms sound
good. This movement must
fly or it will sink, so
rev up the band and
conduct it in 1 for this
mixolydian jesting. I
suppose the wildly
unrelated keys (clarinets
and then brass at the
end) would be a good
16th-century joke, but to
us, our
put-up-the-chorus-a-half-
step ears readily accept
such shenanigans.

Scottish Dances
is based on three
Scottish traditionals:
Cock of the North, The
Bonnie Bank's O'Loch
Lomond and Marie's
Wedding.
I. Cock
of the North's name is
used for multiple things
or events. For example
for a locomotive to a
famous, it seems,
delicious liqueur, and
rallies to snowboard
competitions. Furthermore
is Cock O' the North a
nickname of a famous
Duke. (The 4th Duke of
Gordon). In this
composition Cock of the
North (a Jig) is a
traditional Scottish
bagpipe tune, regularly
played on tattoos by Pipe
Bands. Not infrequently
the drummers sing the
text.
Auntie
Mary, had a canary,
Up the leg of her
trousers While she
was sleeping Iwas
peeping Up the leg of
her trousers.
II.
The Bonnie Bank's O'Loch
Lomond is about a sad
story that took place
during an revolt against
the British. In 1745
Bonnie Prince Charlie had
to retreat. Two of his
men were captured. One
was convicted and
executed, while the other
was released. The spirit
of the executed soldier
would arrive in Scotland
via the 'low road'
(underworld) before his
companion, who had still
a long way to go.
You'll take the
high road And I'll
take the low road And
I'll be in Scotland afore
ye But me and my true
love will never meet
again On the Bonnie
Bonnie Banks of Loch
Lomond
III. In a
Scottish wedding, after
the official ceremonies,
there is often danced.
This is called a ceilidh.
For this we use
traditional Scottish
music such as Marie's
Wedding '. Mid dance
we go back to the church,
where a lovely song in
honor of the couple
sounds. Marie's
Wedding has been recorded
by Van Morrison (among
many others).
Step we gaely, on we go,
heel for heel and toe for
toe Arm and arm and
on we go, all for Marie's
wedding
Scottish
Dances is gebaseerd op
drie Schotse
traditionals: Cock of the
North, The Bonnie Bank's
O'Loch Lomond en Marie's
Wedding.
I. De
naam Cock of the North
wordt voor meerdere
dingen of evenementen
gebruikt. Van een
beroemdelocomotief tot
een, naar het schijnt,
een heerlijke likeur, en
van rally's tot snowboard
wedstrijden. Bovendien
was 'Cock O' the North'
een bijnaam van een
bekende hertog. (the 4th
Duke of Gordon) Het
in deze
compositiegebruikte Cock
of the North (een Jig) is
een traditioneel Schotse
bagpipe tune (doedelzak
liedje) wat regelmatig
gespeeld wordt op taptoes
door Pipebands. Niet
zelden zingen de
slagwerkers de tekst
mee.
Auntie Mary,
had acanary, Up the
leg of her trousers
While she was sleeping I
was peeping Up the
leg of her
trousers.
You'll
take the high road
And I'll take the low
road And I'll be in
Scotland aforeye But
me and my true love will
never meet again On
the Bonnie Bonnie Banks
of Loch Lomond
III. Bij een Schotse
bruiloft wordt na de
officiele plechtigheden
vaak gedanst. Dit noemt
men een ceilidh. Hiervoor
gebruiktmen traditionele
Schotse muziek zoals
bijv. 'Marie's
Wedding'. Halverwege
de dans gaan we nog even
terug naar de kerk, waar
een lieflijk lied ter ere
van het bruidspaar
klinkt. Marie's
Wedding is o.a. door Van
Morrison opgenomen.

For the
teacher of instrumental
music classes, individual
differences among
students are inevitable.
Unfortunately, the lack
of flexible materials
frequently forces
teachers to adopt a
quasi-instructional
procedure best described
as lockstep, where all
students in the class
rehearse each exercise
until the slow members of
the class succeed or
until the teacher gives
up. The Individualized
Instructor was designed
with the expectation that
students are different.
With this method, high-,
average-, and
low-achieving students in
a class are able to
progress simultaneously
at their own rate
according to their
interest and ability. In
addition, the flexibility
of the instructional
format often allows
twelve or more students
to perform different
musical material
simultaneously, thereby
eliminating the
“follow the
leader†approach to
music learning. All study
materials in the series
are musical. Nonmusical
exercises are excluded in
favor of folk song
literature, musical
rounds, and musical
ensembles. Furthermore,
The Individualized
Instructor encourages
students to think about
their music: to analyze
unfamiliar material,
generalize previously
learned concepts and
skills, and synthesize
all elements into a
musically proficient
performance. In addition,
this series develops many
fundamentals (tonality,
phrasing, tempo, and
musical style) through
the use of the singing
voice. Singing best
provides the
“musicalâ€
experience that,
subsequently, can be
applied to the
development of musically
sensitive instrumental
performance. Books 1, 2,
and 3 and the
supplementary books
ensure that these
fundamental ideas are
carried well beyond the
first year of
instruction.

dedicated to the mayor of
Biel/Bienne, Erich Fehr.
The title was chosen to
represent Biel as the
watch-making capital of
Switzerland. Watch Your
Step! is one part of a
series of 'up tempo'
Sparke marches such as
Slipstream, The Bandwagon
and Jubiloso. After a
bright opening, a
syncopated first theme is
played, firstly by
clarinets and saxophones,
and then by the full
band. A bass strain is
followed by a contrasting
second subject, which is
played twice. The bass
melody returns to herald
a truncated version of
the main theme, before
the opening fanfare
reappears as a coda.

Feature
anywhere from one
Saxophone up to the
entire Sax section in
Stephen Bulla’s
jazzy new arrangement
titled Swingin’ at
the Riverside. The quick,
rhythmic swing-style
music is catchy to say
the least! It’s
the perfect opportunity
to “lighten
up†during the next
concert performance. In
addition, it’s a
good piece to program
just before or after that
large work that’s
taxing for the Brass
players. It’s lots
of fun for Brasses to
play but gives them
plenty of short rests
throughout so they can
refresh their chops.
Now’s the time to
let the Saxes
shine!Light-hearted
and fun!
Dit
is een lekker vlot en
swingend werk waarin een
hoofdrol is weggelegd
voor de saxofoon. De
interactie tussen het
orkest en de solist(en)
is leuk en boeiend voor
zowel de muzikanten als
het publiek. De titel
Swingin’at the
Riversideis
natuurlijk een zinspeling
op de alom bekende
spiritual Down by the
Riverside, die te
horen is terwijl de
muziek zich ontvouwt. Een
levendige aanvulling op
uw eerstvolgende
concertprogramma!
Rücken Sie einen
Saxophonisten oder auch

Bullas jazzigen Titel
Swingin’ at the
Riverside haben Sie
die Wahl! Die flotte,
swingende rhythmische
Musik ist absolut
eingängig, ein
strahlendes Highlight
für jedes

Idealerweise planen Sie
dieses Stück nach
einem für die
Blechbläser
anstrengenden
Programmpunkt ein, da sie
hier zwar auch jede Menge
Spaß, aber auch
genügend Pausen haben.
Nun sind die Saxophone
dran!
Questo brano di
Stephen Bulla nasce dallo
swing e combina con
originalit uno dei più
grandi successi del jazz
di New Orleans, Down
