Vaquera-Vasquez; Lyrics

Welcher.
Commission
ed for the Kingsville
(TX) Independent School
District and its thriving
music department, Welcher
has created A Musical
Fable for Children, based
upon a story by Santiago
Vaquera-Vasquez. A
narrator tells the tale
of two children on
opposite sides of the
border and the magical
creatures who allowed
them to see as the other
sees. Welcher uses
musical themes and
instruments to help
identify the characters
for the audience. The
musical play was
performed at the
Kingsville campus, as
well as six other
elementary schools in the
district. The Need to
See is a theater piece
for children, featuring a
narrator/singer and five
instrumentalists.
Designed to show children
(aged 8-10) a fable about
acceptance and diversity,
the work also exposes
children to live
musicians in a highly
portable,
suitable-for-classroom
theater piece.The
narrator/singer begins by
teaching the children a
well-known Mexican folk
tune, “Naranja
Dulceâ€, which leads
directly into the
story. The fable
concerns two figures from
folklore: Don Conejo (the
rabbit god) and Don
Coyote (the coyote
god). These two
trickster/adversaries
take on the task of
helping Isabella, an
American girl, and
Tomà s, a Mexican boy,
understand each
other’s
culture—by means
of a trick. The two
children, living on
opposite sides of the Rio
Grande in Texas and
Mexico, have been taught
to fear el otro lado
(“the other
sideâ€), and to stay
away from the river.Â
This causes both children
to be nervous and afraid,
and Conejo and Coyote
decide to do something
about that.Borrowing from
another well-known tale,
writer Santiago
Vaquera-VÃ squez has
the two trickster-deities
perform a bit of
hocus-pocus, exchanging
the two childrens’
eyes for one day, so they
can “seeâ€
through someone
else’s
perspective. The
result, told in two
languages with narration,
song, and constant music,
allows the children in
the audience to
participate as singers,
and also as spectators to
a tale that has relevance
and contemporary
meaning. Â
Employing three familiar
songs from Latin American
culture (“Naranja
Dulceâ€,
“Tengo una
Muñecaâ€, and
“Mambru se fue a la
Guerraâ€), the piece
takes its audience on a
journey both familiar and
new—and ultimately
enlightening.

See
the biography of Michael
Karmon on the back
cover. WHEN THE SHEEP
WON'T COME:Â A
SLEEPLESS NOCTURNE FOR
GUITAR was composed for
Joseph Hagedorn, winner
of the 1990 GFA solo
competition, and
premiered by him in
November 1999. My
original idea was to
write a serene and moody
nocturne in several
movements. However,
as I began researching
and listening to new
guitar pieces, I came
across Toru Takemitsu's
All in Twilight, and it
immediately made a
profound impression.Â
At the time I found it
beautiful, moving, and
inspiring, but I also
felt I didn't have
anything to add to what
Takemitsu already did,
and that I needed to find
a new concept for my
piece. So, I decided
to view night as a
potentially restless
time, rather than a
serene time, and portray
states of mind one might
go through during a
sleepless night. The
names of the movements
evoke, at least in my
mind, the moods I am to
depict, and the piece
becomes progressively
more convoluted as it
goes on. By the end,
the music is a surreal
and weary shadow of the
opening.

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.

bis18-Jährige fand
2019 in Camposilvano
statt und hat jedes Jahr
ein anderes Motto. 2019
lautete das Thema Science
Fiction“, daher
entschied sich der
Komponist Philip Sparke
dazu, einen Robotermarsch
zu schreiben. Nach
einerskurrilen Einleitung
mit Trompetenrufen und
chromatischen Figuren
erklingt in Klarinetten
und Tenorsaxophonen das
Hauptthema in Moll, das
dann vom gesamten
Orchester aufgegriffen
werd. Ein Tonartwechsel
kündigt ein neues
Thema an,das von der
Trompete vorgestellt und
anschließend vom
gesamten Ensemble
wiederholt wird. Ein
weiterer Tonartwechsel
führt zu einem
melodischen, legato
gespielten Trio-Abschnitt
über einer
roboterhaften Begleitung.
Nach und nachkommen
weitere Instrumente
hinzu, bis der
Höhepunkt erreicht
ist. Kleine Motive aus
der Einleitung führen
dann zu einer Reprise,
wobei die ersten beiden
Themen in neuer Gestalt
wieder aufgegriffen
werden, bevor der Marsch
zum Endehin noch einmal
musikalisch
aufblüht.
