Dana Wilson always strives to introduce students and audiences to new ways of thinking about music and performance practices. This work serves somewhat as an incantation, a summoning up of, by means of a group music ritual, the goodness of the earth and, consequently, ourselves. Rhythmic vocalizations abound, juxtaposed with rhythmical, percussive ensemble writing. Dana Wilson is a master and his works light up any program in which they are performed.

Beginning with silence and gradually building throughout to a powerful and dramatic close, this distinctive work from Dana Wilson explores the various facets of the word “awakening” as it applies to the waking of an individual, a day, or possibly even a philosophical idea. Wonderfully imaginative, Awakening... makes use of striking colors and sonic devices including surrounding the audience with percussion near the climatic finish. Duration: 5:00 (Grade 4)

Recorded by the Ithaca College Wind Ensemble – Stephen Peterson, conductor

“As I began this piece, it was as though I were entering a dream. The music was atmospheric, undefined, and somewhat disorienting. Gradually the material became more focused, but just in time to switch to a very different--though related--sound world, which became the second movement. The overall poignancy, varied sound worlds and dramatic shape of the music suggested the title.” ~Dana Wilson Duration: 8:00 (Recorded by the North Texas Wind Symphony, Jacqueline Townsend, conductor).

As the title implies, this short yet dynamic work is intended as a fast-paced “burner” and quite possibly positioned at the “front” of any concert program. Filled with dynamic twists and turns, along with cascading woodwind passages and splashes of brass and percussion, there is a sense of almost being out of control as it reaches an exciting and dramatic finish. Dur: ca. 3:00 (Recorded live by the Eastman Wind Ensemble - Mark Scatterday, conductor).
