All the
While was inspired by
a very special person in
Tyler Arcari's life.
Directors will be happy
to find many
opportunities for
emotional and passionate
playing with plenty of
fun in the middle for
young bands. All the
While gives students a
number of chances to
work on expressive
playing during the
beginning and ending
sections, and offers a
light rhythmic middle
section for
contrast.
Program
Notes:All the While is a
bit of a personal piece
for me. I was inspired to
write it by a very
special person in my
life. It might be a
young-band piece but I
feel that it has the
capacity for great
emotion and passionate
playing as well as a
little fun in the middle.
Sometimes it is difficult
to tell people how you
feel, even if you have
known them for a long
time. I think sometimes
we say in our heads that
“I have felt this
way for a long
time,†and all the
while never being able to
put it to words.About the
work:The piece opens with
a flute and alto
saxophone duet. This
melody trades off at m.
10 with the addition of
new voices and harmonies
building in intensity all
the way to m. 28. I
personally like to use
extended phrases in this
section, though it looks
like it would just
utilize four-measure
phrases. I feel this adds
to the momentum building
in dynamic intensity.
Measure 28 is a subito
change beginning with a
prominent Timpani solo.
The following section
should be played as
lightly as possible to
avoid a lumbering feel.
In mm. 68- 70, the agogic
accents should not be
very heavy, but more
pointed in their momentum
to m. 70.Measures
70–76 should be
taken with metric liberty
bringing out all of the
moving parts in the low
brass. The low brass
really adds the
foundation of momentum
for the rest of the band
here. Measure 76 to the
end, though a repetition
of material from the
beginning, should be
played as the high point
of the piece and familiar
conclusion.
Never Felt This Way
