duction Gustave Vogt's
Musical Paris Gustave
Vogt (1781-1870) was born
into the Age of
Enlightenment, at the
apex of the
Enlightenment's outreach.
During his lifetime he
would observe its effect
on the world. Over the
course of his life he
lived through many
changes in musical style.
When he was born,
composers such as Mozart
and Haydn were still
writing masterworks
revered today, and
eighty-nine years later,
as he departed the world,
the new realm of
Romanticism was beginning
to emerge with Mahler,
Richard Strauss and
Debussy, who were soon to
make their respective
marks on the musical
world. Vogt himself left
a huge mark on the
musical world, with
critics referring to him
as the grandfather of the
modern oboe and the
premier oboist of Europe.
Through his eighty-nine
years, Vogt would live
through what was perhaps
the most turbulent period
of French history. He
witnessed the French
Revolution of 1789,
followed by the many
newly established
governments, only to die
just months before the
establishment of the
Third Republic in 1870,
which would be the
longest lasting
government since the
beginning of the
revolution. He also
witnessed the
transformation of the
French musical world from
one in which opera
reigned supreme, to one
in which virtuosi,
chamber music, and
symphonic music ruled.
Additionally, he
experienced the
development of the oboe
right before his eyes.
When he began playing in
the late eighteenth
century, the standard
oboe had two keys (E and
Eb) and at the time of
his death in 1870, the
System Six Triebert oboe
(the instrument adopted
by Conservatoire
professor, Georges
Gillet, in 1882) was only
five years from being
developed. Vogt was born
March 18, 1781 in the
ancient town of
Strasbourg, part of the
Alsace region along the
German border. At the
time of his birth,
Strasbourg had been
annexed by Louis XIV, and
while heavily influenced
by Germanic culture, had
been loosely governed by
the French for a hundred
years. Although it is
unclear when Vogt began
studying the oboe and
when his family made its
move to the French
capital, the Vogts may
have fled Strasbourg in
1792 after much of the
city was destroyed during
the French Revolution. He
was without question
living in Paris by 1798,
as he enrolled on June 8
at the newly established
Conservatoire national de
Musique to study oboe
with the school's first
oboe professor,
Alexandre-Antoine
Sallantin (1775-1830).
Vogt's relationship with
the Conservatoire would
span over half a century,
moving seamlessly from
the role of student to
professor. In 1799, just
a year after enrolling,
he was awarded the
premier prix, becoming
the fourth oboist to
achieve this award. By
1802 he had been
appointed repetiteur,
which involved teaching
the younger students and
filling in for Sallantin
in exchange for a free
education. He maintained
this rank until 1809,
when he was promoted to
professor adjoint and
finally to professor
titulaire in 1816 when
Sallantin retired. This
was a position he held
for thirty-seven years,
retiring in 1853, making
him the longest serving
oboe professor in the
school's history. During
his tenure, he became the
most influential oboist
in France, teaching
eighty-nine students,
plus sixteen he taught
while he was professor
adjoint and professor
titulaire. Many of these
students went on to be
famous in their own
right, such as Henri Brod
(1799-1839), Apollon
Marie-Rose Barret
(1804-1879), Charles
Triebert (1810-1867),
Stanislas Verroust
(1814-1863), and Charles
Colin (1832-1881). His
influence stretches from
French to American oboe
playing in a direct line
from Charles Colin to
Georges Gillet
(1854-1920), and then to
Marcel Tabuteau
(1887-1966), the oboist
Americans lovingly
describe as the father of
American oboe playing.
Opera was an important
part of Vogt's life. His
first performing position
was with the
Theatre-Montansier while
he was still studying at
the Conservatoire.
Shortly after, he moved
to the Ambigu-Comique
and, in 1801 was
appointed as first oboist
with the Theatre-Italien
in Paris. He had been in
this position for only a
year, when he began
playing first oboe at the
Opera-Comique. He
remained there until
1814, when he succeeded
his teacher,
Alexandre-Antoine
Sallantin, as soloist
with the Paris Opera, the
top orchestra in Paris at
the time. He played with
the Paris Opera until
1834, all the while
bringing in his current
and past students to fill
out the section. In this
position, he began to
make a name for himself;
so much so that specific
performances were
immortalized in memoirs
and letters. One comes
from a young Hector
Berlioz (1803-1865) after
having just arrived in
Paris in 1822 and
attended the Paris
Opera's performance of
Mehul's Stratonice and
Persuis' ballet Nina. It
was in response to the
song Quand le bien-amie
reviendra that Berlioz
wrote: I find it
difficult to believe that
that song as sung by her
could ever have made as
true and touching an
effect as the combination
of Vogt's instrument...
Shortly after this,
Berlioz gave up studying
medicine and focused on
music. Vogt frequently
made solo and chamber
appearances throughout
Europe. His busiest
period of solo work was
during the 1820s. In 1825
and 1828 he went to
London to perform as a
soloist with the London
Philharmonic Society.
Vogt also traveled to
Northern France in 1826
for concerts, and then in
1830 traveled to Munich
and Stuttgart, visiting
his hometown of
Strasbourg on the way.
While on tour, Vogt
performed Luigi
Cherubini's (1760-1842)
Ave Maria, with soprano
Anna (Nanette) Schechner
(1806-1860), and a
Concertino, presumably
written by himself. As a
virtuoso performer in
pursuit of repertoire to
play, Vogt found himself
writing much of his own
music. His catalog
includes chamber music,
variation sets, vocal
music, concerted works,
religious music, wind
band arrangements, and
pedagogical material. He
most frequently performed
his variation sets, which
were largely based on
themes from popular
operas he had, presumably
played while he was at
the Opera. He made his
final tour in 1839,
traveling to Tours and
Bordeaux. During this
tour he appeared with the
singer Caroline Naldi,
Countess de Sparre, and
the violinist Joseph
Artot (1815-1845). This
ended his active career
as a soloist. His
performance was described
in the Revue et gazette
musicale de Paris as
having lost none of his
superiority over the
oboe.... It's always the
same grace, the same
sweetness. We made a trip
to Switzerland, just by
closing your eyes and
listening to Vogt's oboe.
Vogt was also active
performing in Paris as a
chamber and orchestral
musician. He was one of
the founding members of
the Societe des Concerts
du Conservatoire, a group
established in 1828 by
violinist and conductor
Francois-Antoine Habeneck
(1781-1849). The group
featured faculty and
students performing
alongside each other and
works such as Beethoven
symphonies, which had
never been heard in
France. He also premiered
the groundbreaking
woodwind quintets of
Antonin Reicha
(1770-1836). After his
retirement from the Opera
in 1834 and from the
Societe des Concerts du
Conservatoire in 1842,
Vogt began to slow down.
His final known
performance was of
Cherubini's Ave Maria on
English horn with tenor
Alexis Dupont (1796-1874)
in 1843. He then began to
reflect on his life and
the people he had known.
When he reached his 60s,
he began gathering
entries for his Musical
Album of Autographs.
Autograph Albums Vogt's
Musical Album of
Autographs is part of a
larger practice of
keeping autograph albums,
also commonly known as
Stammbuch or Album
Amicorum (meaning book of
friendship or friendship
book), which date back to
the time of the
Reformation and the
University of Wittenberg.
It was during the
mid-sixteenth century
that students at the
University of Wittenberg
began passing around
bibles for their fellow
students and professors
to sign, leaving messages
to remember them by as
they moved on to the next
part of their lives. The
things people wrote were
mottos, quotes, and even
drawings of their family
coat of arms or some
other scene that meant
something to the owner.
These albums became the
way these young students
remembered their school
family once they had
moved on to another
school or town. It was
also common for the
entrants to comment on
other entries and for the
owner to amend entries
when they learned of
important life details
such as marriage or
death. As the practice
continued, bibles were
set aside for emblem
books, which was a
popular book genre that
featured allegorical
illustrations (emblems)
in a tripartite form:
image, motto, epigram.
The first emblem book
used for autographs was
published in 1531 by
Andrea Alciato
(1492-1550), a collection
of 212 Latin emblem
poems. In 1558, the first
book conceived for the
purpose of the album
amicorum was published by
Lyon de Tournes
(1504-1564) called the
Thesaurus Amicorum. These
books continued to
evolve, and spread to
wider circles away from
universities. Albums
could be found being kept
by noblemen, physicians,
lawyers, teachers,
painters, musicians, and
artisans. The albums
eventually became more
specialized, leading to
Musical Autograph Albums
(or Notestammbucher).
Before this
specialization, musicians
contributed in one form
or another, but our
knowledge of them in
these albums is mostly
limited to individual
people or events. Some
would simply sign their
name while others would
insert a fragment of
music, usually a canon
(titled fuga) with text
in Latin. Canons were
popular because they
displayed the
craftsmanship of the
composer in a limited
space. Composers
well-known today,
including J. S. Bach,
Telemann, Mozart,
Beethoven, Dowland, and
Brahms, all participated
in the practice, with
Beethoven being the first
to indicate an interest
in creating an album only
of music. This interest
came around 1815. In an
1845 letter from Johann
Friedrich Naue to
Heinrich Carl
Breidenstein, Naue
recalled an 1813 visit
with Beethoven, who
presented a book
suggesting Naue to
collect entries from
celebrated musicians as
he traveled. Shortly
after we find Louis Spohr
speaking about leaving on
his grand tour through
Europe in 1815 and of his
desire to carry an album
with entries from the
many artists he would
come across. He wrote in
his autobiography that
his most valuable
contribution came from
Beethoven in 1815.
Spohr's Notenstammbuch,
comprised only of musical
entries, is
groundbreaking because it
was coupled with a
concert tour, allowing
him to reach beyond the
Germanic world, where the
creation of these books
had been nearly
exclusive. Spohr brought
the practice of
Notenstammbucher to
France, and in turn
indirectly inspired Vogt
to create a book of his
own some fifteen years
later. Vogt's Musical
Album of Autographs
Vogt's Musical Album of
Autographs acts as a form
of a memoir, displaying
mementos of musicians who
held special meaning in
his life as well as
showing those with whom
he was enamored from the
younger generation. The
anonymous Pie Jesu
submitted to Vogt in 1831
marks the beginning of an
album that would span
nearly three decades by
the time the final entry,
an excerpt from Charles
Gounod's (1818-1893)
Faust, which premiered in
1859, was submitted.
Within this album we find
sixty-two entries from
musicians whom he must
have known very well
because they were
colleagues at the
Conservatoire, or
composers of opera whose
works he was performing
with the Paris Opera.
Other entries came from
performers with whom he
had performed and some
who were simply passing
through Paris, such as
Joseph Joachim
(1831-1907). Of the
sixty-three total
entries, some are
original, unpublished
works, while others came
from well-known existing
works. Nineteen of these
works are for solo piano,
sixteen utilize the oboe
or English horn, thirteen
feature the voice (in
many different
combinations, including
vocal solos with piano,
and small choral settings
up to one with double
choir), two feature
violin as a solo
instrument, and one even
features the now obscure
ophicleide. The
connections among the
sixty-two contributors to
Vogt's album are
virtually never-ending.
All were acquainted with
Vogt in some capacity,
from long-time
friendships to
relationships that were
created when Vogt
requested their entry.
Thus, while Vogt is the
person who is central to
each of these musicians,
the web can be greatly
expanded. In general, the
connections are centered
around the Conservatoire,
teacher lineages, the
Opera, and performing
circles. The
relationships between all
the contributors in the
album parallel the
current musical world, as
many of these kinds of
relationships still
exist, and permit us to
fantasize who might be
found in an album created
today by a musician of
the same standing. Also
important, is what sort
of entries the
contributors chose to
pen. The sixty-three
entries are varied, but
can be divided into
published and unpublished
works. Within the
published works, we find
opera excerpts, symphony
excerpts, mass excerpts,
and canons, while the
unpublished works include
music for solo piano,
oboe or English horn,
string instruments
(violin and cello), and
voice (voice with piano
and choral). The music
for oboe and English horn
works largely belong in
the unpublished works of
the album. These entries
were most likely written
to honor Vogt. Seven are
for oboe and piano and
were contributed by
Joseph Joachim, Pauline
Garcia Viardot
(1821-1910), Joseph
Artot, Anton Bohrer
(1783-1852), Georges
Onslow (1784-1853),
Desire Beaulieu
(1791-1863), and Narcisse
Girard (1797-1860). The
common thread between
these entries is the
simplicity of the melody
and structure. Many are
repetitive, especially
Beaulieu's entry, which
features a two-note
ostinato throughout the
work, which he even
included in his
signature. Two composers
contributed pieces for
English horn and piano,
and like the previous
oboe entries, are simple
and repetitive. These
were written by Michele
Carafa (1787-1872) and
Louis Clapisson
(1808-1866). There are
two other entries that
were unpublished works
and are chamber music.
One is an oboe trio by
Jacques Halevy
(1799-1862) and the other
is for oboe and strings
(string trio) by J. B.
Cramer (1771-1858). There
are five published works
in the album for oboe and
English horn. There are
three from operas and the
other two from symphonic
works. Ambroise Thomas
(1811-1896) contributed
an excerpt from the
Entr'acte of his opera La
Guerillero, and was
likely chosen because the
oboe was featured at this
moment. Hippolyte Chelard
(1789-1861) also chose to
honor Vogt by writing for
English horn. His entry,
for English horn and
piano, is taken from his
biggest success, Macbeth.
The English horn part was
actually taken from Lady
Macbeth's solo in the
sleepwalking scene.
Vogt's own entry also
falls into this category,
as he entered an excerpt
from Donizetti's Maria di
Rohan. The excerpt he
chose is a duet between
soprano and English horn.
There are two entries
featuring oboe that are
excerpted from symphonic
repertoire. One is a
familiar oboe melody from
Beethoven's Pastoral
Symphony entered by his
first biographer, Anton
Schindler (1796-1864).
The other is an excerpt
from Berlioz's choral
symphony, Romeo et
Juliette. He entered an
oboe solo from the Grand
Fete section of the
piece. Pedagogical
benefit All of these
works are lovely, and fit
within the album
wonderfully, but these
works also are great oboe
and English horn music
for young students. The
common thread between
these entries is the
simplicity of the melody
and structure. Many are
repetitive, especially
Beaulieu's entry, which
features a two-note
ostinato throughout the
work in the piano. This
repetitive structure is
beneficial for young
students for searching
for a short solo to
present at a studio
recital, or simply to
learn. They also work
many technical issues a
young player may
encounter, such as
mastering the rolling
finger to uncover and
recover the half hole.
This is true of Bealieu's
Pensee as well as
Onslow's Andantino.
Berlioz's entry from
Romeo et Juliette
features very long
phrases, which helps with
endurance and helps keep
the air spinning through
the oboe. Some of the
pieces also use various
levels of ornamentation,
from trills to grace
notes, and short
cadenzas. This allows the
student to learn
appropriate ways to
phrase with these added
notes. The chamber music
is a valuable way to
start younger students
with chamber music,
especially the short
quartet by Cramer for
oboe and string trio. All
of these pieces will not
tax the student to learn
a work that is more
advanced, as well as give
them a full piece that
they can work on from
beginning to end in a
couple weeks, instead of
months. Editorial Policy
The works found in this
edition are based on the
manuscript housed at the
Morgan Library in New
York City (call number
Cary 348, V886. A3). When
possible, published
scores were consulted and
compared to clarify pitch
and text. The general
difficulties in creating
an edition of these works
stem from entries that
appear to be hastily
written, and thus omit
complete articulations
and dynamic indications
for all passages and
parts. The manuscript has
been modernized into a
performance edition. The
score order from the
manuscript has been
retained. If an entry
also exists in a
published work, and this
was not indicated on the
manuscript, appropriate
titles and subtitles have
been added tacitly. For
entries that were
untitled, the beginning
tempo marking or
expressive directive has
been added as its title
tacitly. Part names have
been changed from the
original language to
English. If no part name
was present, it was added
tacitly. All scores are
transposing where
applicable. Measure
numbers have been added
at the beginning of every
system. Written
directives have been
retained in the original
language and are placed
relative to where they
appear in the manuscript.
Tempo markings from the
manuscript have been
retained, even if they
were abbreviated, i.e.,
Andte. The barlines,
braces, brackets, and
clefs are modernized. The
beaming and stem
direction has been
modernized. Key
signatures have been
modernized as some of the
flats/sharps do not
appear on the correct
lines or spaces. Time
signatures have been
modernized. In a few
cases, when a time
signature was missing in
the manuscript, it has
been added tacitly.
Triplet and rhythmic
groupings have been
modernized. Slurs, ties,
and articulations
(staccato and accent)
have been modernized.
Slurs, ties, and
articulations have been
added to parallel
passages tacitly.
Courtesy accidentals
found in the manuscript
have been removed, unless
it appeared to be helpful
to the performer. Dynamic
indications from the
manuscript have been
retained, except where
noted. --Kristin

Alsace region along the
German border. At the
time of his birth,
Strasbourg had been

unclear when Vogt began

a year after enrolling,
he was awarded the
premier prix, becoming
the fourth oboist to
achieve this award. By
1802 he had been
appointed
répétiteur, which
involved teaching the
younger students and
filling in for Sallantin
in exchange for a free

Sallantin retired. This
was a position he held
for thirty-seven years,
retiring in 1853, making
him the longest serving

listening to
Vogt’s
oboe.â€Vogt was also
active performing in
Paris as a chamber and
orchestral musician. He
was one of the founding
members of the
Société des
Concerts du
Conservatoire, a group
established in 1828 by
violinist and conductor
François-Antoine
Habeneck
(1781–1849). The
group featured faculty
and students performing
alongside each other and
works such as Beethoven
symphonies, which had
never been heard in
France. He also premiered
the groundbreaking
woodwind quintets of
Antonin Reicha
(1770–1836).After
his retirement from the
Opéra in 1834 and from
the Société des
Concerts du Conservatoire
in 1842, Vogt began to
slow down. His final
known performance was of
Cherubini’s Ave
Maria on English horn
with tenor Alexis Dupont
(1796–1874) in
1843. He then began to
reflect on his life and
the people he had known.
When he reached his 60s,
he began gathering
entries for his Musical
Album of
Autographs.Autograph
AlbumsVogt’s
Musical Album of
Autographs is part of a
larger practice of
keeping autograph albums,
also commonly known as
Stammbuch or Album
Amicorum (meaning book of
friendship or friendship
book), which date back to
the time of the
Reformation and the
University of Wittenberg.
It was during the
mid-sixteenth century
that students at the
University of Wittenberg
began passing around
bibles for their fellow
students and professors
to sign, leaving messages
to remember them by as
they moved on to the next
part of their lives. The
things people wrote were
mottos, quotes, and even
drawings of their family
coat of arms or some
other scene that meant
something to the owner.
These albums became the
way these young students
remembered their school
family once they had
moved on to another
school or town. It was
also common for the
entrants to comment on
other entries and for the
owner to amend entries
when they learned of
important life details
such as marriage or
death.As the practice
continued, bibles were
set aside for emblem
books, which was a
popular book genre that
featured allegorical
illustrations (emblems)
in a tripartite form:
image, motto, epigram.
The first emblem book
used for autographs was
published in 1531 by
Andrea Alciato
(1492–1550), a
collection of 212 Latin
emblem poems. In 1558,
the first book conceived
for the purpose of the
album amicorum was
published by Lyon de
Tournes
(1504–1564) called
the Thesaurus Amicorum.
These books continued to
evolve, and spread to
wider circles away from
universities. Albums
could be found being kept
by noblemen, physicians,
lawyers, teachers,
painters, musicians, and
artisans.The albums
eventually became more
specialized, leading to
Musical Autograph Albums
(or Notestammbücher).
Before this
specialization, musicians
contributed in one form
or another, but our
knowledge of them in
these albums is mostly
limited to individual
people or events. Some
would simply sign their
name while others would
insert a fragment of
music, usually a canon
(titled fuga) with text
in Latin. Canons were
popular because they
displayed the
craftsmanship of the
composer in a limited
space. Composers
well-known today,
including J. S. Bach,
Telemann, Mozart,
Beethoven, Dowland, and
Brahms, all participated
in the practice, with
Beethoven being the first
to indicate an interest
in creating an album only
of music.This interest
came around 1815. In an
1845 letter from Johann
Friedrich Naue to
Heinrich Carl
Breidenstein, Naue
recalled an 1813 visit
with Beethoven, who
presented a book
suggesting Naue to
collect entries from
celebrated musicians as
he traveled. Shortly
after we find Louis Spohr
speaking about leaving on
his “grand
tour†through
Europe in 1815 and of his
desire to carry an album
with entries from the
many artists he would
come across. He wrote in
his autobiography that
his “most valuable
contribution†came
from Beethoven in 1815.
Spohr’s
Notenstammbuch, comprised
only of musical entries,
is groundbreaking because
it was coupled with a
concert tour, allowing
him to reach beyond the
Germanic world, where the
creation of these books
had been nearly
exclusive. Spohr brought
the practice of
Notenstammbücher to
France, and in turn
indirectly inspired Vogt
to create a book of his
own some fifteen years
later.Vogt’s
Musical Album of
AutographsVogt’s
Musical Album of
Autographs acts as a form
of a memoir, displaying
mementos of musicians who
held special meaning in
his life as well as
showing those with whom
he was enamored from the
younger generation. The
anonymous Pie Jesu
submitted to Vogt in 1831
marks the beginning of an
album that would span
nearly three decades by
the time the final entry,
an excerpt from Charles
Gounod’s
(1818–1893) Faust,
which premiered in 1859,
was submitted.Within this

680160038411. Since
the bassoon is my own
instrument, many people
have asked me why I've
written so little for the
instrument. Beyond my
early Concerto Da Camera
for bassoon and small
orchestra, written for
Leonard Sharrow in 1975,
I've not written a single
piece that features the
bassoon as a solo vehicle
(though I have written
three woodwind quintets).
When I first began
composing seriously,
critics were quick to
point out that my
orchestral writing
revealed nothing of my
roots as a woodwind
player--and bassoonists
asked why my pieces
didn't have more bassoon
solos. Perhaps I was so
aware that people were
looking at me as a
bassoonist/composer that
I was determined to
remove that stigma. Now
that my transformation
from performer to
composer is complete,
however, it's time to
re-address my instrument.
I wanted this new piece
to be serious rather than
whimsical. The Wind Won't
Listen represents my
return to the bassoon as
the highly expressive,
poetic soul that it is.
As such, it
shouldn't come as a
surprise that the piece
is based on a poem, and
that the title of the
piece as well as both its
movement titles come from
lines in that poem. I
first read Beth Gylys'
poem Split at the
MacDowell Colony in the
summer of 2001, and it
made a big impression on
me. My personal life had
been ruptured by divorce
in the preceding year.
This poem, with its dry
insistence on observation
rather than feeling,
expressed the wrung-out
state of my emotions at
the time better than any
I had seen. I set it to
music, as a song,
immediately. In this
format, for voice and
piano, I was able to put
a musical note to every
word of the poem. The
first lines of the poem,
Everyone I know is
crying, or should be
crying, became a melody
that haunted me even
without the words.
The work for bassoon and
string quartet is an
outgrowth of the song.
The first movement is
labeled Romanza, and has
a loose formal arch
structure of A-B-C-B-A,
with B and C being fast
sections framed by the
lamenting A music. In
addition to hearing the
bassoon's first notes
attached to the lines
Everyone I know is
crying, there's a sense
of agitation, of loss, of
longing, and at times of
desperation in the music.
At one point, the opening
theme from Tristan even
appears in the strings.
The second
movement follows, without
a real pause--the
pizzicato final chords of
the first movement
becoming the increasingly
aggressive opening chords
of the second. The
recitative is actually a
foreshadowing of the
basic theme that will be
varied, again to the
words of the song: Life
makes itself without us.
Don't let me tell you how
it is. Go out. Look. The
recitative begins in an
anguished state, but
subsides into more gentle
singing by the end, when
it simply falls into an
ostinato 5/8-3/4 pattern
to begin the variations.
Marked Very steady tempo;
Dancing, this set of
variations consists of
three dances, each faster
than the previous. The
first, in the
aforementioned 5/8-3/4
meter, gives way to a 3/8
scherzo, which in turn
takes on a furious 2/4
scurrying motion. The
music becomes breathless,
almost pulse-less, and an
ethereal theme appears in
the violins while the
rushing music continues,
sotto voce in the
bassoon. This new theme
is also from the song:
Why do I do this? The
wind won't listen. The
bassoon re-states its
Everyone I know is crying
melody from the first
movement, and at length
the 5/8-3/4 music
returns, more subdued
this time. The piece ends
on a major-minor chord,
suspended. The
Wind Won't Listen is
dedicated to the man who
commissioned it,
bassoonist Steven
Dibner--who shares my
passion for poetry and
language. --Dan

680160901043. Key: G
minor. Nordanvind
is a tour de force
symphonic rhapsody that
is built on three
Scandinavian folk songs.
Composer Carl Strommen
has composed these
Viking-influenced
melodies into a concert
setting that brings out
all of the history of the
Scandinavian people. The
piece is at times bold
and aggressive, at other
times beautiful. Carl
employs all of the
instrumental colors of
the concert band to
create a new work for
more advanced
ensembles. Modern
Scandinavians are
descendants of the
Vikings, an adventuresome
people who were known for
their love of the sea,
their naval prowess, and
as fierce fighters . The
Scandinavian Vikings were
warriors from Denmark,
Norway, and Sweden who
traded, raided and
settled in various parts
of Europe, Russia, the
North Atlantic islands,
and the northeastern
coast of North America
.Starting around 1850,
over one million Swedes
left their homeland for
the United States in
search of religious
freedom and open farm
land . Augustana College
was founded in 1860 by
graduates of Swedish
universities and is
located on the
Mississippi River in Rock
Island, Illinois . Home
of the
“Vikings,â€
Augustana College is the
oldest Swedish- American
institution of higher
learning in the United
States . This powerful
and lively piece takes
inspiration from Swedish
history and from Swedish
folk songs and hymns
.Havsdrake (Dragon of the
Sea)The Nordanvind or
“North Windâ€
blows a cold wind during
a journey of a group of
courageous Viking rowers
. The
“Dragon-shipâ€
or long ships designed
for raiding and war was a
sophisticated, fast ship
able to navigate in very
shallow water . To
musically portray these
magnificent seafaring
vessels, the director is
encouraged to use an
Ocean Drum (or a rain
stick) during the
introduction . Wind
players may consider
blowing air through their
instruments to suggest
the North wind . Adding
men’s voices to
accompany the haunting
low brass and percussive
“rowerâ€
sounds can be helpful in
creating the dark and
ominous portrayal of
Viking adventurers
.Slangpolska efter Byss -
KalleIn Sweden, a
“polska†is a
partner dance where the
dancers spin each other
(släng in Swedish
“to sling or
tossâ€) .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is attributed to
Byss-Kalle, who was a
notable Swedish folk
musician, specifically a
nyckelharpa player .
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle is a traditional
“polskaâ€
dance song most often
played on the Nyckelharpa
or keyed fiddle and is
commonly heard in pubs
and at festive events
throughout Sweden .
Approximately 10,000
nyckelharpa players live
in Sweden today, and the
Swedish and the American
Nyckelharpa Associations
are dedicated to this
Swedish National
instrument . The director
is encouraged to share
video and audio examples
of the nyckelharpa
playing the original
Slangpolska efter Byss -
Kalle .Tryggare Kan Ingen
Vara (Children of the
Heavenly Father)Tryggare
Kan Ingen Vara Is a
traditional Swedish
melody, possibly of
German roots, and was
believed to be arranged
as a hymn by the Swedish
hymn writer, Karolina
Wilhelmina Sandell-Berg
(1832–1903) . As a
daughter of a Swedish
Lutheran minister, she
began writing poems as a
teenager and is said to
have written over 1,700
different texts . There
are two different
accounts as to the
inspiration for this hymn
. The first story is that
Lina (as she was called)
wrote the hymn to honor
her father and to say
thank you to him for
raising her and
protecting her . A second
belief is of her
witnessing the tragic
death of her father . She
and her father were on a
boat, when a wave threw
her father overboard . It
was said that the
profound effect of
watching her father drown
is what caused Lina to
write the text to this
hymn . Although this is a
treasured song to people
of Swedish descent
everywhere, it speaks to
all people about a father
tending and nourishing
his children, and
protecting them from evil

Jansson,
Mårten. “I
asked my friend, the poet
Einar Askestad, if he
could write a poem for me
about love between father
and son, brothers and
God. I felt that these
forms of love are seldom
sung about. The poem
moved me greatly and I
have tried to put music
to these words which is
simple yet full of
beauty. In the four
movements of this
suite-like piece, various
aspects of these
relationships are
conveyed.†(Marten
Jansson)
â€
œMy music is my own and
I have never tried to be
original. That has always
been my motto and I have
only tried to use music
to express all the
feelings which life has
to offer. This has led
people to describe my
music as ‘so sad
that it sounds like birds
who have lost their
wings‘ but also as
‘the happiest
classical music that we
have ever
heard’. My
compositions are almost
all sacred. They express
not only my own faith but
also my appreciation and
respect for the timeless
texts that have been used
for centuries and

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. $45.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 1 to 2 weeks | | |

Little Seeds you will
find new hymns from my
heart. My devotional life
is given to you in my
hymnwriting. During the
past three years I have
been writing songs for
the unity of the church -
songs reminding us of our
baptism. I have been
writing biblical story
hymns for lesser-known
characters. I have
written paperless songs
that may be easily
memorized. I set a Rumi
poem. There are new hymns
for Christian missions
from everywhere to
everywhere. You will find
new texts and musical
settings for folk songs
from around the world. I
hope I have treated these
with the love and respect
they deserve. You will
find alternate
arrangements of some
songs that may be useful
in different settings.

680160912483. 6.875 x
10.5 inches. Key: G
minor. English. Emily
Dickinson (1830-1886) ,
Walt Whitman
(1819-1892). The
two pieces, Who Robbed
the Woods? and O Cool is
the Valley Now, combine
to create a set that both
explores the subtle
beauty, serenity,
fragility, and resiliency
of nature and examines
our relationship to the
natural world around us.
The first song combines a
short poem by Emily
Dickinson with a journal
entry excerpt by Walt
Whitman entitled The
Lesson of the Tree.
Only two stanzas in
length, Dickinsons poem
considers the ways in
which people use and
exploit trees for their
own purposes and asks, on
the trees behalf, who
would do such a thing?
Whitman ponders a trees
silent majesty and power
and its ability to be yet
say nothing at all. The
musical setting begins
and ends in the mode of
G-Dorian while moving
briefly in the middle
section to Bb major. The
Dorian mode, similar to
the natural minor but
with a raised sixth scale
degree, possesses a
mysterious and whimsical
sound, fitting for a poem
that considers the
possibility of talking
trees. The accents and
syncopation of the piano
accompaniment should be
carefully observed, with
particular attention paid
to the syncopation found
in gestures occurring in
mm. 712. The beginning
a cappella
section should be hushed
yet intense; a richer,
fuller sound may be
brought out in the middle
section where the key
shifts to Bb major and
the choir sings of the
many noble qualities of
trees (mm. 3953). O Cool
is the Valley Now also
makes use of a modal
scale. Set primarily in D
Mixolydian, similar to D
major but with a lowered
seventh scale degree,
this modes lack of a
leading tone gives the
melody a folk-tune
quality. The piano should
at all times remain
legato and flowing, its
ascending and descending
gestures, found in mm.
910, imitating the
rolling hills and valleys
evoked in the text. The
phrases of the vocal
lines should also be
flowing and carefully
shaped. Additional rubato
and dynamic subtleties
may be added to
accentuate any number of
the suspensions and
dissonances that occur,
especially on p.

Text by Archibald
Lampman. The
COVID-19 pandemic
lockdown of spring 2020
has affected
people’s lives
drastically. Gatherings
have been stopped, people
have been confined to
their homes, and physical
distancing has become the
norm. Composers have
responded to these
changes in a multitude of
ways, for me, it has
resulted in the creation
of music that uplifts and
reconnects people.
“The Worldâ€
sets Archibald
Lampman’s powerful
poem “Sight,â€
the words seeming
particularly poignant for
our times. Working in
collaboration with my
vocal quartet Anchorae,
we invited people from
across the world to
submit recordings of
themselves singing a part
of the piece. The
resulting recording by
the Anchorae Isolation
Choir features
submissions from three
countries, bringing
people together through
music. —Peter

9.25x12.0x0.13
inches. Includes
two copies of the
performance score These
pieces are inspired by
the music and spirit of
the Athabascan people of
Alaska's boreal forest.
The first and third
dances are based on songs
by Joe Beetus, a Koyukon
elder from the village of
Huslia. The second dance
is based on a short
traditional song of the
Dena'ing people of the
Kenai Peninsula, as
remembered by the late
Peter Kalifornsky and
transcribed by the late
Thomas F. Johnston. In
their original setting
these melodies would be
sung in unison, with no
harmony or counterpoint.
Working as a composer in
the Western tradition, I
have extended and
transformed them in many
ways. I have 'borrowed'
and 'set' these melodies
with permission and with
the hope that my
treatment of them conveys
my profound respect for
their origins. The second
and third pieces are
derived from my setting
of poems by Adeline Peter
Raboff written in the
dialect of her Gwich'in
people, who inhabit the
country from Arctic
Village to Old Crow. I
offer this music as a
gesture of respect to the
first peoples of the
Northern Interior and the
Kenai Peninsula. - John

English-German-French-Dut
ch. This piece was
commissioned by Matsudo
Citizen Wind Orchestra
for their 30th
anniversary concert and
premiered by the band
conducted by Kenichiro
Hasunuma in July 2009.
This piece is typical of
Satoshi Yagisawa in that
it depicts a magnificent
spectacle. This one is
set in ancient Egypt and
is based on the story
depicted in the famous
film The Ten Commandments
(1956, directed by Cecil
B. DeMille). One day
Moses, who was raised by
the rich royal family,
found out that he was
originally Hebrew. The
Hebrews had been forced
to live as slaves.
Ramses, the prince
directly descended from
the Pharaoh, envied
Moses' strength and
popularity. After
internal argument Moses
decides todeliver the
Hebrew from the Pharaoh's
tyranny and escape from
Egypt with them.The music
starts with brilliant
royal fanfare and depicts
magnificent architecture,
the Hebrew people forced
into hard labour, and the
slaves escaping from the
Pharaoh's tyranny. At the
climax they are at crisis
point, trapped by the
sea. Moses waves his
staff and the miracle
happens; the sea parts
and Hebrew people
successfully escape.
Following on from
Perseus - A Hero's
Quest in the Heavens,
this work Moses and
Ramses is another
piece written in the
dramatic style favoured
by Satoshi Yagisawa.
Het oude
testament verhaalt van
Mozes die met zijn volk
Egypte verlaat, na zijn
strijd met de jonge farao
Ramses. De film The
Ten Commandments uit
1956 is gebaseerd op dit
verhaal. Satoshi Yagisawa
zette de beelden van
dezemonumentale film om
in de karakteristiek
dramatische stijl die zo
eigen is voor de
verfilming. De muzikale
beelden geven het
koninklijke paleis weer,
maar ook de
architectonische pracht
en praal van het oude
Egypte. Ook komen
deverlossing van de
slavernij en de uittocht
aan bod. Natuurlijk met
als hoogtepunt dat Mozes
de zee opent en het volk
door de zee uit Egypte
leidt. Een fantastisch
spektakel!

Streit mit dem jungen
Ramses mit seinem ganzen
Volk, Israel, das Land
verliess, erzahlt das
alte Testament und der
darauf basierende Film
Die zehn Gebote von 1965.
Satoshi Yagisawa setzte
die Bilder dieses
monumentalen Films in
seinem charakteristischen
dramatischen Stil um: Die
musikalischen Bilder
zeigen den Konigshof, die
architektonische Pracht
des alten Agypten, das
versklavte Volk Israel
und natürlich die
Flucht mit dem Hohepunkt,
als Moses das Meer teilt.

Apres Perseus - A
Hero's Quest in the
Heavens, Satoshi
Yagisawa nous livre une
nouvelle œuvre
dramatique, flamboyante
et epique. L'action se
deroule en Egypte
ancienne, et suit la
chronologie du celebre
film biblique Les Dix
Commandements (1956),
du realisateur americain
Cecil B. DeMille. Le
jeune Moisegrandit au
sein de la riche famille
royale egyptienne. Devenu
adulte, il decouvre ses
origines hebraiques. Or,
Pharaon a reduit les
Hebreux en esclavage. Le
prince Ramses, descendant
direct de Pharaon, envie
la force et la gloire de
Moise. Apres une querelle
grave, Moise doit fuir
dans le desert. Dans son
exil, il decide de
delivrer son peuple de la
tyrannie de Pharaon et de
le mener hors d'Egypte.
L'œuvre debute avec
une fanfare royale
flamboyante qui sonne la
grandeur architecturale
de l'Egypte. Le peuple
d'Israel est condamne a
subir les travaux forces
; des esclaves echappent
a la tyrannie du Pharaon.
Lorsque la musique
atteint sa densite
maximale, les Hebreux en
fuite sont accules devant
la mer Rouge. Moise
invoque Dieu. Celui-ci
lui ordonne de lever son
baton au-dessus des eaux
de la mer Rouge. Moise
obeit et le miracle se
produit ; les eaux se
divisent en deux pour
laisser passer les
enfants d'Israel. $172.00 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

English. The word
"hymn" comes
from the Greek
"hymnos",
meaning a festive song.
To hymnologists
(people who study hymns),
the HYMN is the poetry,
the lyrics, which is then
set to a HYMN TUNE.
Many wonderful hymn
tunes have been used over
the centuries with
several completely
different sets of words.
The name of a hymn
tune seldom matches the
name of its hymn, and
most people refer to
hymns by their poetic
names rather than their

English-German-French-Dut
ch. This piece was
commissioned by Matsudo
Citizen Wind Orchestra
for their 30th
anniversary concert and
premiêred by the band
conducted by Kenichiro
Hasunuma in July 2009.
This piece is typical of
Satoshi Yagisawa in that
it depicts a magnificent
spectacle. This one is
set in ancient Egypt and
is based on the story
depicted in the famous
film “The Ten
Commandmentsâ€
(1956, directed by Cecil
B. DeMille). One day
Moses, who was raised by
the rich royal family,
found out that he was
originally Hebrew. The
Hebrews had been forced
to live as slaves.
Ramses, the prince
directly descended from
the Pharaoh, envied
Moses’ strength
and popularity. After
internal argument Moses
decides todeliver the
Hebrew from the
Pharaoh’s tyranny
and escape from Egypt
with them.The music
starts with brilliant
royal fanfare and depicts
magnificent architecture,
the Hebrew people forced
into hard labour, and the
slaves escaping from the
Pharaoh’s tyranny.
At the climax they are at
crisis point, trapped by
the sea. Moses waves his
staff and the miracle
happens; the sea parts
and Hebrew people
successfully escape.
Following on from
Perseus - A
Hero’s Quest in
the Heavens, this
work Moses and
Ramses is another
piece written in the
dramatic style favoured
by Satoshi Yagisawa.
Het oude
testament verhaalt van
Mozes die met zijn volk
Egypte verlaat, na zijn
strijd met de jonge farao
Ramses. De film The
Ten Commandments uit
1956 is gebaseerd op dit
verhaal. Satoshi Yagisawa
zette de beelden van
dezemonumentale film om
in de karakteristiek
dramatische stijl die zo
eigen is voor de
verfilming. De muzikale
beelden geven het
koninklijke paleis weer,
maar ook de
architectonische pracht
en praal van het oude
Egypte. Ook komen
deverlossing van de
slavernij en de uittocht
aan bod. Natuurlijk met
als hoogtepunt dat Mozes
de zee opent en het volk
door de zee uit Egypte
leidt. Een fantastisch
spektakel!
Von
Moses, der nach einem
Streit mit dem jungen
Ramses mit seinem ganzen
Volk, Israel, das Land
verließ, erzählt
das alte Testament und
der darauf basierende
Film Die zehn Gebote von
1965. Satoshi Yagisawa
setzte die Bilder dieses
monumentalen Films in
seinem charakteristischen
dramatischen Stil um: Die
musikalischen Bilder
zeigen den Königshof,
die architektonische
Pracht des alten
Ägypten, das
versklavte Volk Israel
und natürlich die
Flucht mit dem
Höhepunkt, als Moses
das Meer teilt. Ein
prachtvolles
Spektakel!

et épique.
L’action se
déroule en Égypte
ancienne, et suit la
chronologie du
célèbre film
biblique Les Dix
Commandements (1956),
du réalisateur
américain Cecil B.
DeMille. Le jeune Mo
segrandit au sein de la
riche famille royale
égyptienne. Devenu
adulte, il découvre
ses origines hébra
ques. Or, Pharaon a
réduit les Hébreux
en esclavage. Le prince
Ramsès, descendant
direct de Pharaon, envie
la force et la gloire de
Mo se. Après une
querelle grave, Mo se
doit fuir dans le
désert. Dans son exil,
il décide de
délivrer son peuple de
la tyrannie de Pharaon et
de le mener hors
d’Égypte.
L’œuvre
débute avec une
fanfare royale
flamboyante qui sonne la
grandeur architecturale
de l’Égypte.
Le peuple
d’Israël est
condamné subir les
travaux forcés ; des
esclaves échappent la
tyrannie du Pharaon.
Lorsque la musique
atteint sa densité
maximale, les Hébreux
en fuite sont acculés
devant la mer Rouge. Mo
se invoque Dieu. Celui-ci
lui ordonne de lever son
b ton au-dessus des eaux
de la mer Rouge. Mo se
obéit et le miracle se
produit ; les eaux se
divisent en deux pour
laisser passer les
enfants
d’Israël. $38.95 - Voir plus => AcheterDélais: 2 to 3 weeks | | |

English. About the
WorkThe text of this work
is most often attributed
to Ralph Waldo Emerson,
although it doesn't
mirror his style, and no
research credits an
essay, book or letter
with its source. Other
individuals are
occasionally suggested as
possible authors, but
equally unsubstantiated.
Even whether the textis a
poem or a quote seems
unclear. But there is one
thing that is without
question: that this
beloved text has inspired
countless people and
contributed toward a view
of the world through eyes
of hope, resilience,
courage, beauty, and joy.
Music for this text
flowed more easily than
about any text I have
ever set. It has an
emotional connection that
is mystical, and after I
read it for the first
time, I immediately sat
down and wrote this work
without stop.Rehearsal
NotesIn many cases, art
is more expressive and
reaches a wider range of
human emotions when
multiple artistic fields
are fused together. Such
is the case with choral
music: the intertwining
of literature, music, and
very often dance, visual
arts, and more. The story
in choral music is often
quite specific, much like
film scoring. At times,
the music is the picture
frame (score) around the
picture (text), while at
others the music is the
leading
dramatic/emotional
impetus.In the present
case (My Farewell Wish),
the text is sincere,
innocent, heartfelt, and
earnest. By all accounts,
the message is
altruistic, expressing
selfless desire for
another's present/future
happiness. Capturing this
message has a strong
reliance on the
performers to not only
carry the emotional
intent of the moment (a
phrase of text or a
measure), but the the
energy and continuance of
the message
throughout.The use of the
[o] vowel functions
almost as instrumental
interludes or
underpinning of strings.
The conductor may use the
[o] as indicated in the
score, or a [u] vowel, a
hum (with [o] as the
vowel inside the mouth),
or all three at different
times for different
reasons. In an acoustical
performance (no mic), the
soloist and the ensemble
are a reflection of each
other's natural sound.
And, even gentle, warm
solo voices should have
no trouble projecting.Two
final thoughts: 1) the
obbligato or added voice
or two on high passages
(m. 66) or a single note
(final chord) will be
best delivered by
lyrical, pure voices with
demonstrated control; and
2) the metronome marking
of 80 bpm (mm.
1–81) was strongly
considered and should be
followed.About the

8.25x11.75x0.132
inches. The title
No people. comes from the
surrealist Raymond
Roussel. In 1932 he
published a long poem
called New Impressions of
Africa. For this he
commissioned 59 drawings
to illustrate the text.
The commission was given
to the artist through a
detective agency so he
never knew who the
commissioner was or saw
the text he was supposed
to illustrate. All he got
was instructions for each
drawing and he had to
make the drawings
accordingly. A typical
instruction might
beNocturnal landscape.
Very starry sky with a
thin crescent of moon.
(No people.)orA rambler,
arm raised and fingers
outspread, dropping a
pebble (still visible)
down a well and seemingly
straining to hear the
sound of its splash. (No
other people.)When
Roussel put the drawings
and text together, the
ordinary everyday
drawings took on a
strangeness they might
otherwise not have had if
the artist had drawn with
the text in front of him.
It's the juxtaposition of
both unknowns -
text/drawings - that
gives the final work its
strange quality. Gerald

First performed at the

composer writes of her
composition, 'It is
challenging to find a way
to compose that hopefully
will be interesting and
fun for young people and
yet not too difficult. A
major concern of course
is to find the right
text: something that will

that this 'nonsense' poem
of John Keats would be
highly suitable. It is
