‘P
lateau of Dances with a
Scottish Flavour’
Plateau of Dances with a
Scottish Flavour was
composed in autumn 2016,
Eastbourne, and is
inspired by my childhood
in Doune, Perthshire; as
well as the Ceilidhs and
Fèis (cultural festival
in the Highlands) my
daughter, Clara, and I
were immersed in when we
lived in the picturesque
village of Kingussie,
Badenoch and Strathspey.
The four dances are a
celebration of my love
and nostalgia for
Scotland, and an
expression of my
family’s Scottish
memories. Each dance
comes with a quote from
my favourite poet, Robert
Burns, whose insightful
and sensitive
observations are a
poignant appreciation of
everyday life. Why the
reference to Scottish
food? Because this piece
is dedicated to my
father, Papou, who
appreciates a merry
supper. The 1st Movement,
'To the Mighty Haggis',
is a Strathspey with its
characteristic Scotch
snap -a short-long
rhythm, as if saying the
word ‘haggis’; which
is fitting as the
Scottish bard’s quote
comes from his poem
Address to a Haggis,
traditionally said on
Burns’ Night. The 2nd
Movement, 'The Humble
Shortbread', is a Reel;
as is usually the case in
Scottish dances. It
should be played with a
slightly ‘snappy’,
swung rhythm. 'What
though on homely fare we
dine, [...] A man is a
man for all that' comes
from my favourite
Burns’ poem: A Man's a
Man for A' That. And who
doesn’t enjoy the
humble shortbread? There
is a more reflective,
nostalgic mood to the 3rd
Movement, 'Ode to the
Homely (salty) Porridge'.
The Air is a reminiscence
of the quiet evenings
Clara and I would spend
in Kingussie, with our
view of the beautifully
haunting mountains. 'What
will I get to my supper,
[...] Ye'se get a panfu'
o' plumpin parridge'
comes from Burns’ The
Shepherd’s Wife who
tries to entice her
husband back home with
the promise of porridge
(the Scottish way: with
salt). Finally, the 4th
Movement, 'Too Many Drams
of Whisky', is a cheerful
and lively Jig. It’s
the convivial merriness
of being with friends and
family, maybe at a
Ceilidh, with a wink to
Scotland’s ‘water of
life’. 'We'll tak a cup
o' kindness yet, For auld
lang syne' comes from
Burns’ famous Auld Lang
Syne: a fitting end to
our musical and culinary
tour of Scotland.

“S
entences is a
thirty-minute meditation,
in collaboration with
Adam Gopnik, on several
episodes drawn from the
life and work of Alan
Turing. Turing lived, in
a sense, many different
lives, but at the heart
of his work was, I think,
a very musical set of
anxieties. Even the idea
of code-breaking is
inherently musical; the
French for score-reading
is déchiffrage:
deciphering. His wartime
work on the Enigma code
translated, later in
life, to a more nuanced
relationship to code in
the form of a primitive
but emotionally (and
philosophically)
complicated artificial
intelligence. The piece
uses a single voice not
to speak necessarily as
Turing, but as a guide
through these various
episodes.
I've
always felt that the
question of sentient
computers is wildly
emotional: we
anthropomorphise the Mars
Rover, imagining its
solitude on that dusty
planet. Any act of
communication in which
the second person is
unseen can be a one-way
conversation. An email,
sent, can never be
returned - did it arrive
or did it not?, or a text
message can be delivered
but never read. The
thrill of a fast response
is immediately tempered
with the harsh but empty
rudeness of an
out-of-office reply.
Anybody who has made a
condolence phone call
only to hear the voice of
the deceased on the
outgoing answering
machine message knows the
complexities of what
could be a simple binary
communication.”

The Universe
works in strange ways.
Recorded almost three
years ago, none of us
could have known that
when this recording was
released the world would
have lived through a
life-altering pandemic or
a tumultuous upheaval in
the cultural awareness
that now surrounds us.
The work that opens this
recording—with the
words of Quaker George
Fox that end with,
“So be faithful,
and live in that which
doth not think the time
longâ€â€”provid
es a haunting premonition
regarding the time in
which we live, Quaker
George Fox is strangely
prophetic about these
days and perhaps provides
a future caution for us
all. The music chosen for
this recording is
strangely and poignantly
relevant, I believe, for
each of us. “The
Fruit of Silenceâ€
by PÄ“teris Vasks
reminds us to visit those
beliefs that are most
sacred in the work by
Cortlandt Matthews. A
deeply personal Requiem
by Peter Relph, in
reflection, remembers the
hundreds of thousands of
lives lost in the
pandemic. And then there
is Thomas LaVoy’s
“O Great
Beyond.†All great
texts are timeless and
speak to the universality
of the human condition.
Particularly, the George
Fox text set by Jackson
Hill and the Tagore text
set by LaVoy give us
messages to reinforce the
humanness of each of us
for hope. Two other works
on this recording
poignantly remind us of
the passing of life, with
the Relph Requiem and
especially the final
movement of “O
Great Beyond.†May
these words give comfort
to all those who endured
the deepest of
Life’s losses
during our shared
pandemic journey. For so
many loved ones, goodbyes
were said in silence, and
alone. It is our hope
that all the music on
this CD will show us a
way for living as we move
forward and also give
loving comfort to those
who have lost loved ones.
Peace, my heart, let the
time for the parting be
sweet. Let it not be a
death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory
and pain into songs. Let
the flight through the
sky end in the folding of
the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of
your hands be gentle like
the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful
End, for a moment, and
say your last words in
silence. I bow to you and
hold up my lamp to light
you on your way.
—Rabindranath
Tagore in The Gardener
(1913).

The 1712
Overture stands out in
P.D.Q. Bach's oeuvre for
two reasons, among
others: it is by far the
most programmatic
instrumental piece among
those by the minimeister
of Wein-am-Rhein so far
unearthed, and 2) its
discovery has led to a
revelation about the
composer's father, Johann
Sebastian Bach, that has
exploded like a bombshell
on the usually serene
musicological landscape.
The overture is based on
an anecdote told to
P.D.Q. Bach by a cousin,
Peter Ulrich. Since P.U.
Bach lived in Dudeldorf,
only a few miles down the
road from Wein-am-Rhein,
he was P.D.Q.'s closest
relative, and he was, in
fact, one of the few
members of the family who
was on speaking terms
with P.D.Q. The story,
related to P.D.Q.
(fortunately for us
posterity types) in a
letter, may be summarized
thus: The town of
Dudeldorf was founded by
two brothers, Rudi and
Dieter Dudel, early in
the 18th century. Rudi
remained mayor of the
newborn burg for the rest
of his long life, but
Dieter had a dream of
starting a musicians'
colony, an entire city
devoted to music, which
dream, he finally
decided, could be
realized only in the New
World. In 1712, he and
several other bagpipers
sailed to Boston, never
to return to Germany.
(Henceforth, Rudi became
known as der deutscher
Dudel and Dieter as the
Yankee Dudel).
Unfortunately, the head
of the Boston Musicians'
Guild had gotten wind of
Dudel's plans, and
Wilhelm Wiesel (pron.
VEE-zle), known none too
affectionately around
town as Wiesel the
Weasel, was not about to
share what few gigs there
were in colonial America
with more foreigners and
outside agitators. He and
his cronies were on hand
to meet Dudel's boat when
it pulled into Boston
Harbor; they intended to
prevent the newcomers'
disembarkation, but Dudel
and his companions
managed to escape to the
other side of the bay in
a dinghy, landing with
just enough time to rent
a carriage and horses
before hearing the sound
of The Weasel and his
men, who had had to come
around the long way. The
Germans headed West, with
the Bostonians in furious
pursuit. soon the city
had been left far behind,
and by midnight so had
the pursuers; Dieter
Dudel decided that it was
safe for him and his men
to stop and sleep until
daybreak. When they
awoke, they found that
they were in a beautiful
landscape of low,
forested mountains and
pleasant fields, warmed
by the brilliant morning
sun and serenaded by an
entrancing variety of
birds. Here, Dudel
thought, her is where I
will build my colony. The
immigrants continued down
the road at a leisurely
pace until they came upon
a little church, all by
itself in the
countryside, from which
there suddenly emanated
the sounds of a pipe
organ. At this point, the
temptation to quote from
P.U. Bach's letter to
P.D.Q. cannot be
resisted: They went
inside and, after
listening to the glorious
music for a while,
introduced themselves to
the organist. And who do
you think it was? Are you
ready for this -- it was
your old man! Hey, no
kidding -- you know, I'm
sure, that your father
was the guy to get when
it came to testing new
organs, and whoever had
that one in Massachusetts
built offered old
Sebastian a tidy sum to
go over there and check
it out. The unexpected
meeting with J.S. Bach
and his sponsors was
interrupted by the sound
of horse hooves, as the
dreaded Wiesel and his
men thundered on to the
scene. They had been
riding all night,
however, and they were no
spring chickens to start
with, and as soon as they
reached the church they
all dropped, exhausted,
to the ground. The elated
Germans rang the church
bells and offered to buy
everyone a beer at the
nearest tavern. There
they were taught, and
joined in singing, what
might be called the
national anthem of the
New World. The melody of
this pre-revolutionary
patriotic song is still
remembered (P.D.Q. Bach
quotes it, in the bass
instruments, near the end
of the overture), but is
words are now all but
forgotten: Freedom, of
thee we sing, Freedom
e'er is our goal; Death
to the English King, Long
live Rock and Ross. The
striking paucity of
biographical references
to Johann Sebastian Bah
during the year 1712 can
now be explained: he was
abroad for a significant
part of that year,
testing organs in the
British Colonies. That
this revelation has not
been accepted as fact by
the musicological
establishment is no
surprise, since it means
that a lot of books would
have to be rewritten. The
members of that
establishment haven't
even accepted the
existence of P.D.Q. Bach,
one of whose major works
the 1712 Overture
certainly is. It is also
a work that shows
Tchaikowsky up as the
shameless plagiarizer
that some of us have
always known he was. The
discovery of this awesome
opus was made possible by
a Boston Pops Centennial
Research Commission; the
first modern performance
took place at the opening
concert of the 100th
anniversary season of
that orchestra, under the
exciting but authentic
direction of John
Williams.

This
world premiere recording
features two new choral
collections. The Fire of
Love sets the words of
fourteenth-century
English mystic Richard
Rolle, who depicted the
soul’s movement
towards God through the
phases of heat,
sweetness, and song, with
song being the ultimate
expression of the soul.
For the second
collection, Patrick has
set nine of William
Blake’s Songs of
Innocence, and the
fragile poetry gives rise
to tender and heartfelt
music. Somehow, I knew
that I and The Same
Stream needed to
collaborate on a
recording with Patrick
Hawes. This recording
grew out of our shared
desire to collaborate on
some new scores. Over the
months that ensued from
our initial meeting, the
music on this CD grew out
of meaningful exchanges
between a composer and a
conductor… Both
works, The Fire of Love
and Songs of Innocence,
represent settings of
profound poets that
capture some essences of
lives lived. But what
made an impact upon us
all was the honesty that
Patrick Hawes knitted
into these scores.
Working with him on this
recording was
inspirational for us all.
His passion for
communicating through
sound was radiantly clear
to us, and it is our hope
that his passion for
these words by Richard
Rolle and William Blake
become alive in your ears
and your heart. —

"T
he task of writing a
piece of music for
someone who has left the
world all too soon is not
an easy one. Does one
write celebratory music,
in honor of his
well-lived life? Or does
one musically depict the
loss of such a beloved
young man? I tried to do
something of both. The
first movement begins
with the musical
depiction of the loss, a
descending scale of
despair. As it is a
concerto, much of the
piece is a dialogue
between the soloist and
the orchestra. For the
most part, the piano is
the voice of love and
hope while the orchestra
is the voice of despair
and loss. How does one
move forward to live
after such a loss? What
ensues in the process of
the first movement
represents a gradual
triumph over
despair." - Robert

Originally
written for string
quartet, this fantastic
characteristic piece from
Glazunov is a welcome
addition to the string
orchestra repertoire, as
arranged by Deborah Baker
Monday. Well-suited for
the more advanced
ensemble, it contains
excellent musical
opportunities and the
chance to play the music
of a prominent Russian
composer. Deborah's
setting stays very true
to the original, but
enhances it for use by
the full ensemble. Alert
your contest/festival
music committee to this
worthy new piece for high
school string
orchestras. Alexander
Glazunov
(1865–1936) lived
during a very
transitional period of
Russian music history,
active as a composer,
conductor, and teacher.
He was a part of the
Romantic school of
Russian music following
in the tradition of
Tchaikovsky, like his
fellow composers Borodin
and
Rimsky-Korsakov.During
his years at the
conservatory he
instructed many students
who chose to pursue the
modern trends set forth
by Debussy. Stravinsky,
Shostakovich, and even
Prokofiev took
instruction from
Glazunov. Although they
considered him
old-fashioned, he was
remembered as a
stabilizing influence
during transitional
times.Glazunov’s
music stayed within the
category of Russian
Romanticsm: nationalistic
with classical formality.
His list of works
includes numerous
symphonies, concertos,
piano and vocal works,
and chamber works
including seven string
quartets.Op. 15 was first
given the title
“Suite†(a
collection of dances),
and after a
friend’s
recommendation he changed
the name to
“Novelettesâ€.
The five movements are of
contrasting style, but
beautifully reminiscent
of their particular
themes:I. Alla
SpagnuolaII.
OrientaleIII. Interludium
in modo anticoIV. ValseV.
All’ UnghereseThis
movement is very well
adaptable for string
orchestra. The original
string quartet moodis
light, using harmonics
and pizzicato, but there
are forceful sections
which allow for strong
sectional playing
(especially with the
cello and bass orchestral
sound). There is very
much interesting melodic
material offered for all
instruments which lends
itself to a fantastic
string orchestra
arrangement. Conductors
will find material in all
sections which provide
greatopportunities for
rehearsal.The form is a
large ABA with a D.C. al
fine, but the sections
are not square by any
means.There is lots of
energy and momentum in
the material of both
sections, as well as a
modalcharacter which
gives the music an exotic
sound. Bowing patterns
abound in all sections
formore great teaching
opportunities.

Composer Thomas
Dempster says, In
differential calculus, an
inflection point is a
point on a curve at which
the curvature changes
sign - between positive
and negative curvature. I
construe the entirety of
the piece as a somewhat
long arc; the inflection
point of the entire piece
happens somewhere during
the second movement. The
first movement ('Quirky
Rays and Charming
Segments') takes the idea
of a stationary point as
a tonal center as more
literally sees a line, or
a curve, or pitches and
motives passed around
between the ensemble.This
movement juggles a number
of ideas and verily
proffers some
short-lived, rhythmically
unstable and tonally
ambiguous lines and arcs
that return later on. The
second movement ('Distant
Planes and Objects')
contains a fair amount of
parallel motion, open and
sparse figures, and
static textures. Motion
in pitch space extends
outward in both
directions from Ab and
eventually returns,
retracing the points. The
final movement ('Jiggly
Dots and Origins') is a
mildly psychotic gigue
that melds together the
ideas of the previous two
movements..

Rich with
kaleidoscopic images,
Papanui Road gives a
vivid 'snapshot' of
bustling central
Christchurch during the
1950s—one that
encompasses not only the
cityscape but much of the
composer's own experience
and spirit. The composer
writes: Having lived
near Papanui Road for
most of my
life—having cycled,
driven and walked on it,
having shopped, eaten and
prayed in or on it, I
feel at home there. As
young people say, it has
'vibes' for me. It
certainly has memories...
This concert overture
tries to hint at the
bustle, the vitality and
the peace of Papanui
Road; an impression
rather than a picture...
For all its pictorialism
this concert overture is
a serious, even a solemn
and nostalgic work. Its
aim is to evoke memories
and the atmosphere of an
important, busy
thoroughfare in the
composer's home town.

This piece
is dedicated to all the
citizens who live, have
lived, and will live in
the US town of Algona,
who commissioned the work
to celebrate it’s
150th anniversary. With
dark-tinted tones (low
drums, heavy brass), this
overture begins with a
primitive sacred feel, it
seems as if centuries-old
Indian singing is heard
once more. Gradually the
sound becomes clearer and
brighter as the same
theme travels throughout
the band in various
guises and variants.
Imposing tutti passages
then give the band the
chance to lavishly shine.
This bright and catchy
overture radiates
spontaneous energy and as
it features every section
of the band all the
players as well as the
listenersare continually
surprised and captivated.
Met donkere tonen
begint deze ouverture
sacraal en bezwerend: het
lijkt of eeuwenoude
indianengezangen weer tot
klinken komen.
Geleidelijk wordt het
klankbeeld helderder:
hetzelfde thema maakt in
diverse varianten als het
ware eenronde door het
orkest. Met een paar
imposante tuttipassages
kan het orkest goed
uitpakken. Nadien komt
een energiek allegro met
een krachtige thematiek
naar voren, gevolgd door
een lyrisch gegeven. Deze
ingrediënten wisselen
elkaaraf op weg naar een
opwindende finale. Het
klankidioom is zeer
toegankelijk en alle
geledingen van het orkest
komen aan
bod!
Anlässlich
der 150-Jahrfeier der
Stadt Algona im US-Staat
Iowa komponiert, strahlt
diese klare,
eingängige
Ouvertüre spontane
Energie aus. Zwar beginnt
das Werk sakral und
flehend mit dunkel
gefärbten Tönen,
doch allmählich wird
der Klang klarer und
heller, während das
Thema in verschiedenen
Gewändern und
Varianten durch das
Blasorchester wandert.
Dem folgenden energischen
Allegro folgt ein
lyrisches Thema, und
beide Elemente
verschmelzen
schließlich in einem
aufregenden Finale. Alle
Register des
Blasorchesters werden
hier beleuchtet, sodass
sowohl Spieler als auch
Zuhörer fortwährend
überrascht und
bezaubert
werden.

Algona Overture inizia in
un universo sonoro dai
colori scuri. La musica
rivela una dimensione
sacra, uno spirito di
supplica. Un canto
indiano datato di alcuni
secoli risuona come un
canto dimenticato.
Imponenti passaggi
affidati al tutti svelano
le sontuose sfacettature
dell’orchestra di
fiati. Algona Overture
è una composizione
coinvolgente che
trasmette entusiasmo e
spontaneit . In un brano
dove la scrittura
orchestrale privilegia
tutte le sezioni
dell’organico, la
musicariesce a
sorprendere e
accattivarsi il pubblico
e gli interpreti.

Tribute: Those
Who Serve, scored for
Grade 4/5 band, is
dedicated to the bravery,
heroism and sacrifice of
First Responders. The
music is based on an
earlier work for
orchestra, called
Tribute, commissioned by
conductor Michael
Gagliardo and the Etowah
Youth Symphony Orchestra
to commemorate the events
of September 11, 2001. I
composed the original
Tribute in the spring of
2002 while in residence
at Copland House in
Cortlandt Manor, NY,
where Aaron Copland lived
and worked the last
thirty years of his life.
With gratitude to Copland
House and as my own
tribute to Mr. Copland,
the orchestral version of
Tribute opened and closed
with the composer's
initials A.C. featured in
the strings as major
chords on A and C.
Mercifully, the current
version for band has been
transposed up a half-step
to the key of B-flat. A
central section in D-flat
features robust quotes
from Copland's Fanfare
for the Common Man, a
work that is at the
spiritual core of
Tribute: Those Who
Serve.Tribute: Those Who
Serve invites us to pause
and reflect on the daily
acts of valor exhibited
by the many First
Responders in our local
communities--law
enforcement officials,
firefighters, search and
rescue teams, emergency
medical technicians and
citizen volunteers, to
name but a few. My hope
is that Tribute: Those
Who Serve will inspire
community and school
bands nationwide to hold
events to honor the brave
women and men who serve
with consummate
commitment and
determination in our
local communities,
selflessly standing tall
in times of local and
national crisis.
