Blue
Horizons is a spirited
tribute to the musical
heritage of the United
States Air Force. The
main theme is a variation
of the U.S. Air Force
Song (Off We Go), with a
secondary theme based on
A Toast to the Host (the
bridge of The Air Force
Song). Throughout the
work, fragments of other
Air Force-related songs
appear: Lord, Guard and
Guide (the Air Force
Hymn), Air Force Blue,
and Those Magnificent Men
in Their Flying Machines.
The original request for
this work was a daunting
task: I was asked to
create an Air Force
companion piece to Robert
Jager's Esprit de Corps
that would mirror the
style and spirit of that
landmark work. The goal
was to use elements of
our various Air Force
tunes in the same way
that Jager incorporated
The Marine's Hymn into
his work - that is, to
weave a musical tapestry
of the Air Force's
musical heritage without
ever becoming a mere
arrangement of the
original material. As a
former student of Robert
Jager at Tennessee
Technological University,
I discussed my plans for
the piece with him,
shared my progress along
the way, and sought his
guidance as I had done so
many times in the past.
He was delighted that I
managed to incorporate a
few Jager-isms into the
music, including one
direct quote from Esprit
de Corps. Although Blue
Horizons was conceived as
a dedication to the Air
Force's musical legacy,
it is also a personal
homage to my teacher and
friend, Robert Jager.
Performance Notes * If
only two flutists are
available, omit the
piccolo part and have
them play Flute 1 and 2;
in this case, Flute 1
should switch over to
piccolo (still playing
from the Flute 1 part) at
m. 81 and back to regular
flute at m. 114. If only
covering the Flute 1 and
2 parts, Flute 2 should
ignore indications to
switch to piccolo and
just play the entire work
on regular flute. * Oboe
1 and 2 parts should be
covered before adding the
English Horn part. * The
clarinet in Eb part
should not be covered
unless there are a
sufficient number of
players on the clarinet
in Bb parts. * The
trumpet cues in mm. 77-80
are only necessary if the
horns need assistance
finishing their soli
phrase with enough
strength to be heard. If
you can hear them without
extra support, leave the
trumpets out. * From mm.
89-95, be sure the wind
players with static
eighth notes do not cover
up the players with
moving lines. * There is
a strong tendency to rush
m. 121. * During the oboe
solo from mm. 157-168,
ensure that the
suspension/resolution
lines in the bassoon and
clarinet parts are heard;
emphasize the importance
of growing into the
suspension with a slight
crescendo. * In the
scherzo section that
begins at m. 217, be sure
that each player knows
how his/her part fits
into the overall sound. I
recommend isolating
different textural items
so the players can hear
those parts on their own.
(The bass line from mm.
243-260, for example, or
the moving inner-voice
line from mm. 251-260.) *
In this same scherzo
section, care should be
taken to not play too
loud and save a little
strength for the climax
fanfare at m. 279. * If
you have an abundance of
tubas, I would recommend
having one or two of them
play up an octave from
mm. 243-271 if the lower
part seems too
heavy. Blue Horizons
