Its American premiere was given by Maurice Abravanel and the Utah Symphony Orchestra on November 16, 1955. In 1956, the New York Philharmonic under Dmitri Mitropoulos presented the overture in Carnegie Hall. A Russian band version of the overture was released in 1958 and utilized the standard instrumentation of the Russian military band, i.e., a complete orchestral wind, brass and percussion section plus a full family of saxhorns, ranging from the B-flat soprano down through the B-flat contrabass saxhorn. This new edition has been scored for the instrumentation of the American symphonic band. Festive Overture is an excellent curtain raiser and contains one of Shostakovich’s greatest attributes — the ability write a long sustained melodic line combined with a pulsating rhythmic drive. In addition to the flowing melodic passages, there are also examples of staccato rhythmic sections which set off the flowing line and the variant fanfares. It is truly a “festive overture.” © Donald Hunsberger Hymn to a Blue Hour (2010) John Mackey The blue hour is an oft-poeticized moment of the day — a lingering twilight that halos the sky after sundown but before complete darkness sets in. It is a time of day known for its romantic, spiritual, and ethereal connotations, and this magical moment has frequently inspired artists to attempt to capture its remarkable essence. This is the same essence that inhabits the sonic world of John Mackey’s Hymn to a Blue Hour. © Jake Wallace �“March” from Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber (1943) Paul Hindemith The Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes of Carl Maria von Weber came into being in 1943, while Hindemith was living in America. He was first invited to arrange the music for a ballet on Weber’s themes. That project fell through when it became clear that he and the choreographer, Leonide Massine, did not see eye to eye.This left Hindemith free to take Weber’s source material in the direction he pleased. He used themes from Weber’s little-known piano duets and from his incidental music for the play Turandot, which had also inspired Puccini’s famous opera. Hindemith casts the Symphonic Metamorphosis in four movements. The final “March” made its way into the band repertoire in 1950 when the director of bands at Yale, Keith Wilson, completed this transcription. © Andy Pease Temper (2019) Julian Glover As the youngest of three strong-minded siblings, I have been well acquainted with the character of temperament in its many shapes. Using the theme of Something Blue, I chose to write this piece about anger. Temper focuses on anger and its related emotions, how it is not always the fiery blaze that we often think it is. Temper explores the melancholy, the frustration, the restlessness of anger — a temper tantrum if you will. You will hear two main themes which begin morose and develop throughout the piece. The themes become mixed with a syncopated rhythmic figure, conveying restlessness. Interspersing the themes are sections of chaos; you might see where the form builds to full rage and calms into melancholy. © Julian Glover �Concerto for Two Trumpets (2013) Eric Morales This three-movement work can be best described as a celebration of all that is great about the trumpet. In keeping with my philosophy of the importance of melody, each movement is carefully crafted to entertain and engage the listener. The piece was designed specifically for two Bflat trumpets. My goal was to have the two soloists as “equals,” so there are several passages where both soloists are playing in unison.This fortifies the melodic passages with a deep, full sounding chorus effect. Each soloist has an opportunity to shine. © Eric Morales An American in Paris (1928) George Gershwin Gershwin was best known as a writer of music for the entertainment market, but he did make several excursions into the realm of art music. One of these was the result of a brief visit to Paris in 1926 (from which he returned with a French taxicab horn and the sketch of a melody) and a longer stay in 1928. He made use of both the horn and the melody while writing this piece during his second visit. He called the work a “rhapsodic ballet.” His description follows: “I have not endeavored to present any definite scenes in this music. The rhapsody is programmatic in a general impressionistic sort of way, so that the individual listener can read into the music such episodes as his imagination pictures for him. The opening section is followed by a rich ‘blues’ with a strong rhythmic undercurrent. Our American friend, perhaps after strolling into a cafe, has suddenly succumbed to a spasm of homesickness.The blues rises to a climax followed by a coda in which the spirit of the music returns to the vivacity and bubbling exuberance of the opening part with its impressions of Paris.” © Program notes for band �The Open Cage (2019) Deborah Baynes The Open Cage was inspired by my wall clock with 12 different bird songs. For years I imagined how I would make this into a symphony. Most of my pieces have humor in them and this piece especially does. The title is a mockery of John Cage and there are several little bits to listen for: the Colonel Bogey March by FJ Ricketts, The Lark by Balakiev, Notturno by Grieg and ‘the Duck’ from Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev. The piano part is meant to sound like a broken music box and the organ acts as a drone. The lower brass and wind instruments play an important role — they are the waves of sound giving the piece a pulsating momentum that gradually moves upwards toward the sky.There are 28 different birds played by the higher wind instruments and percussion. It begins with “Silence” then doves start cooing, the “Cage Opens” and the birds come out to sing. This piece was written for Project Ignite and I am so grateful to Dr. Capaldo and the UVic Wind Symphony for this opportunity. © Deborah Baynes Four Flew Over the Hornet’s Nest (2006) Nathan Tanouye This piece was commissioned by the UNLV Wind Orchestra and recorded on the Klavier Label. Because of its innovative use of jazz rhythms and harmonies melded together with contemporary classical themes, this work is one of the few authentic cross-over pieces for wind orchestra and jazz combo. Written in three contrasting movements without a break, the work features the jazz quartet and explores unique colours and blends between the featured soloists and the ensemble. © Nathan Tanouye and Steven Capaldo �UVIC WIND SYMPHONY PICCOLO/FLUTE Jessica Shaw FLUTE Charlie Mason* Taya Haldane Breanna Morrissette Connie Goetz OBOE Janie Sinn* Theresa Mothersill ENGLISH HORN Theresa Mothersill BASSOON Wilson Kyne* Lee Whitehorne CLARINET Alec Kan* Melissa Goodchild § Kyle Lancaster Meghan Parker Katherine Forster Samuel He BASS CLARINET Alina Liang CONTRABASS CLARINET Zachary Smith ALTO SAXOPHONE Matt Fichter* Karsten Brewka TENOR SAXOPHONE Ayari Kasukawa BARITONE SAXOPHONE Michelle Melnicky FRENCH HORN Sarah Mullane* Drake Lovett Allie Bertholm Emily Axford Brooke Clansey Gillian Ramage TRUMPET Marianne Ing* Ryan Lau Jordan Smale Ekaterina Della Vedova Izzy Spencer Abha-Marie Parmar Wayland Shepard TROMBONE Will Quinn* Heidi Worrall Erin Marsh Ben Pakosz EUPHONIUM Jason Gordon* Liam Mulligan TUBA Jacob Tkachuk* Aidan Fentiman Scott Gordon PERCUSSION Lachlan Barry* Jesse Johnson Simeon Weststeijn § Colin Malloy § Jordan Cowan § Sean Kiley ORGAN Sean Kiley ASSISTANT Sean Kiley LIBRARIAN Nima Kolmohammadi * Principal § Community member �BIOGRAPHIES Dr. Steven J.

PROGRAM NOTES Ecstatic Fanfare (2012) Steven Bryant Ecstatic Fanfare by Steven Bryant is based on the first movement of the composer’s piece Ecstatic Waters. An idea was hatched between the composer and his wife, conducter Verena Mösenbichler-Bryant, that “…it might be fun to take the heroic tutti music from that earlier work and turn it into a short fanfare ‘someday.’ ” Composed in somewhat of a frenzy over a period of three days in May 2012, this piece was brought from conception to fruition in an incredibly short timeframe, with the new piece premiering just three short weeks later. — CPO 2 Brayden Wise An Outdoor Overture (1938) Aaron Copland In Copland’s own words, An Outdoor Overture owes its existence to the persuasive powers of Alexander Richter, head of the music department of the High School of Music and Art in New York City. “He had witnessed a performance of my high school opera, The Second Hurricane, and made up his mind that I was the man to write a work for his school orchestra. I liked the idea of the High School of Music and Art — that gifted students could prepare for their careers in the arts at such a school without sacrificing a general education. Richter won me over when he explained that his work would be the opener in a campaign the school planned to undertake with the slogan: ‘American Music for American Youth’. I found this so irresistible that I interrupted my orchestration for Billy the Kid in the fall of 1938 to write the piece… When I played the piano sketch for him, Richter remarked that it seemed to have an open-air quality. Together we hit on the title An Outdoor Overture.” The piece was dedicated to the High School of Music and Art and premiered in December 1938. The piece starts in a large and grandiose manner with a theme that is immediately developed as a long solo for the trumpet. A short bridge passage in the woodwinds leads imperceptibly to the first theme of the allegro section, characterized by repeated notes. Shortly afterwards, these same repeated notes, played broadly, give us a second, snappy march-like theme, developed in �a canon form. There is an abrupt pause, a sudden decrescendo, and the third, lyric theme appears, first in the flute, then the clarinet, and finally up through the rest of the band. Repeated notes on the bassoon seem to lead the piece in the direction of the opening allegro. Instead, a fourth and final theme evolves another march theme, but this time less snappy, and with more serious implications. There is a build-up to the opening grandiose introduction again, continuing with the trumpet solo melody and followed by a short bridge section. The piece ends with a climactic combination of all the themes in the same grandiose style as the beginning. — PO 2 Steve Donegan Symphony No. 6 for Band, Op. 69 Vincent Persichetti Vincent Persichetti’s Symphony No. 6 for Band, Op. 69 was commissioned and premiered by Clark Mitze and the Washington University Band at the MENC Convention in St. Louis on April 16, 1956. According to the composer, it could have been titled “Symphony for Winds,” following, as it did, his Symphony No. 5, For Strings. Persichetti, however, did not wish to avoid the word “band,” which he felt no longer had the connotation of a poor quality of music. In the autumn 1964 Journal of Band Research, he wrote, “Band music is virtually the only kind of music in America today (outside the ‘pop’ field) which can be introduced, accepted, put to immediate and wide use, and become a staple of the literature in a short time.” According to Jeffrey Renshaw, “The Symphony for Band… was in many ways such a departure from the established concepts of band works that it influenced the attitudes of generations of composers.” © University of Alabama, Birmingham Esprit de Corps (1984) Robert Jager Born in Binghampton, New York, Robert Jager was arranger/composer for the U.S. Navy Armed Forces School of Music from 1962 to 1965. After completing his studies and graduating from the University of Michigan in 1968, he went on to be the lecturer in composition and directing at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. In 1971, he became a professor at Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee and toured the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan as an active composer, conductor and lecturer until his retirement in 2001. �The term Esprit de Corps is widely used throughout many armed forces organizations to denote a feeling of pride, fellowship, and common loyalty shared by its members. With this in mind, Jager wrote this piece, based on The Marines’ Hymn, as a tribute to the band and members of the United States Marine Corps. Full of energy and drama, the piece shows off the virtuosity and musical spirit of the Marine Corps Band and its conductor at the time Colonel John R. Bourgeois. Bourgeois was a dramatic and spirited conductor who was widely known to perform pieces quite fast and as such, the piece is marked “Tempo di Bourgeois” right off the top because Jager believed a simple marking of “very bright” wouldn’t quite do it justice. — PO 2 Steve Donegan Night Light (2011, revised 2019) Cait Nishimura Composer Cait Nishimura began Night Light as “…a few simple themes that represented [her] childhood experience of fearing the dark and feeling comforted by the soft glow of night lights. These ideas evolved over time into a musical story that depicts the experience of being awake in the night while the surrounding world is at rest — an experience full of moments of tension and softness, pain and joy, and darkness and light.” Warm, lush textures in the opening passages give way to a lively, active middle section, where the insomniac’s mind truly comes alive, ending with what might be best described as a tranquil dream state. — CPO 2 Brayden Wise Concerto for Euphonium, Winds & Percussion “Summer of 2008” (2008) David Gillingham Commissioned by a consortium of groups in the United States with euphonium player Jason D. Ham, the work is scored in three movements and has become a cornerstone of the solo repertoire for euphonium and wind band. Based on the composer’s experiences over the summer of 2008, the concerto unfolds through various themes and rhythmic motifs that recur throughout the work, connecting each movement with familiar musical ideas. The free flowing first movement pairs rubato-style solo playing with strict rhythms in the ensemble while the sonorous second movement glistens with flowing melodies and Gillingham’s signature mallet percussion and piano parts. The final Festival movement revisits many of the earlier themes with the flair of a festival performance. © David Gillingham and Steven Capaldo �UVIC WIND SYMPHONY Conductor Dr. Steven J.

The commission was for a threeminute fanfare piece. Each piece takes on a reason for being all its own, and Mother Earth is no exception. It became an urgent message from Our Mother to treat her more kindly! My reading at the time of writing this music was For a Future to be Possible by the Vietnamese monk and teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh. He believes that the only way forward is to be extremely alive and aware in our present moment, to become awake to the needs of our beloved planet, and to respond to it as a living entity. Music making allows us to come immediately awake. It is an instant connection to the powerful wellspring of our creativity, and opens our minds to the solution of any number of problems, including that of our damaged environment. My little piece does not solve the problem! But it is a living call to the wide-awake life, and it continues to be performed by young people around the world. © David Maslanka Redwood (2010) Ryan George Commissioned by the Collins Hill High School Band When the Collins Hill High School Band approached me about writing a piece for their head band director, who was set to retire at the end of the year, they wanted something that spoke not only to this man’s love of music but also to his love for the great outdoors. I was reminded then of the times growing up when my family and I would go camping in Sequoia National Park and we would set up our tents among the giant redwood trees that grow in that region of California. These trees command attention with their immense stature, their size the result of years gone by and storms weathered. And yet they exude a peaceful and subtle tranquillity. This idea of “Powerful Tranquillity” became the cornerstone that this lyrical tone poem was created. © Ryan George �Only Light (2015) Aaron Perrine Commissioned by the University of Iowa Symphony Band (Dr. Richard Mark Heidel, Director) The melodic material for Only Light originally came from Beneath a Canvas of Green, a recently composed large-scale work of mine written for wind ensemble. At the time, I was not quite comfortable with how this music fit within the larger work (it passed by much too quickly), and I knew it was something I would eventually like to revisit. During the next few years, I was moved by two friends’ display of strength and courage through adversity. Through these experiences, I was reminded of how delicate life is, and how things can change at a moment’s notice. Reflecting upon these events inspired me to expand and ultimately finish this previously composed music. Only Light is meant to convey a sense of hope and healing. © Aaron Perrine Invocation and Toccata (1980) James Barnes Written in three distinct sections, Invocation and Toccata opens with an evocative and powerful calling of primitive spirits that leads to poignant solos by both the oboe and the euphonium. The second section is a dance — fiery and passionate at times — exploring the playfulness of mixed rhythms and feels, melodic and harmonic interplay between brass, woodwind and percussion, with lines weaving in and out to create a rich web of colour and texture. After a free-time section that begins with a strong 5/4 bass groove, the dominant low brass reassert the powerful invocation and the work culminates in a fast and strong finale signally the end of the ritual. © Steven Capaldo �Symphonies of Gaia (2001) Jayce John Ogren The title Symphonies of Gaia uses language of the ancient Greeks. Symphonies refers not to an established genre or form, but simply means “a sounding together.” Gaia is the Titan goddess of the earth in Greek mythology, and has since become a universal symbol for ecological stewardship and wisdom. My most sincere hope is that Symphonies of Gaia will, in some form, inspirit others to understand and take action against the environment crises we now so desperately face. © Jayce John Ogren When I first heard Symphonies of Gaia, it was performed by the St. Olaf Wind Ensemble conducted by the composer. The faculty conductor of this fine ensemble, Dr. Timothy Mahr, is a first-rate composer himself, and was also the composition teacher of the composer, Jayce Ogren. I am sure that the excellent craftsmanship of this work was directly influenced by Dr. Mahr. I found this work to be mesmerizing and I was immediately drawn into the emotion of the piece. Quite frankly, I wish I had written the piece! Consequently, I felt that this piece should launch the premiere of the Gillingham Signature Series. Symphonies of Gaia is the essence of musical integrity. It expresses some very deep feelings by the composer. The scoring is extremely creative and the craftsmanship is first rate. So much is said in the relatively short duration of the work. It is music on a high level that will challenge and inspire. Here is a work that will sustain itself in the repertoire for years to come. © David R. Gillingham City Trees (2012) Michael Markowski I had just moved from Arizona to New York City when I began sketching the first fragments of City Trees. After being born, growing up, and living in the desert for 25 years of my life, moving to New York so suddenly was and continues to be one of the most challenging things I’ve ever done. I think it has also been one of the bravest. I left my friends, my family, and my ridiculously cheap rent all without much planning. Every time I walk down a street in New York, I notice the trees shackled by the sidewalk. Some have little fences around them, many have trash nestled up next to their exposed roots, and others have grown so big and become so strong that they have broken right through the concrete pavement. As I �pass beneath them, they all seem to wave their leafy pom-poms in the wind, a thousand leaves applauding, cheering me on as if I had just returned from the moon. These trees have learned how to brave the concrete jungle, and it gave me solace knowing that they had flourished in such a challenging environment. Over time, the impossibilities of the city have become familiar, and although I continue to learn new lessons everyday, I’ve slowly begun to assimilate, finding my way around, discovering new places, and making friends while still keeping close with those who aren’t close by. The music in City Trees began to take on a growing sense of perseverance, embodied by the expansive melodies that sweep over the pensive, rhythmic undercurrent. For me, City Trees is a reflection of the bravery that it often takes to venture into new worlds, embrace other cultures, and lovingly encourage new ideas. I am deeply honored to dedicate this piece to the Lesbian and Gay Band Association. Although I may never completely understand the unique challenges my friends have faced and had to overcome, I am inspired by the overwhelming courage that has been so firmly planted for 30 years and that continues to grow, perhaps slowly, but always stronger. © Michael Markowski Sea Songs (1924) Ralph Vaughan Williams British composer Ralph Vaughan Williams was encouraged from an early age to study music and learned the piano, violin, and viola while also expressing an early interest in composing. In 1897 he studied composition with Max Bruch in Berlin and in 1908 with Maurice Ravel in Paris. National pride led him to take an interest in the folk songs of England, and along with composers such as Gustav Holst and Percy Grainger, Vaughan Williams began transcribing English folk songs that he later used as the basis for many of his compositions. He was one of the foremost activists in the movement to collect this folk music, focusing on Norfolk, Sussex, and Essex where he collected more than 800 tunes. Sea Songs was composed in 1924, just one year after his popular English Folk Song Suite, the first work he composed for band and in which he incorporated nine folk songs. In Sea Songs, Vaughan Williams created a simpler, one-movement work in a march style. He incorporated three songs into this work: Princess Royal, Admiral Benbow, and Portsmouth. The work was composed for the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall. © US Marine Band �Machu Picchu - City in the Sky (2004) Satoshi Yagisawa Explaining the significance of Machu Picchu begins with remembering the Incan empire at its zenith, and their tragic encounter with the Spanish conquistadors. The great 16th century empire that unified most of Andean South America had as its capital the golden city of Cuzco. Irresistible to Francisco Pizarro, in 1533 he also destroyed Cuzco’s Sun Temple, shrine of the founding deity of the Incan civilization. While that act symbolized the end of the empire, 378 years later an archaeologist rediscovered “Machu Picchu”, a glorious mountaintop Incan city that had escaped the attention of the invaders. Finding the last remaining Sun Temple of a great city inspired the belief that perhaps the royal lineage stole away to this holy place during Pizarro’s conquest. Three principal ideas dominate the piece: I) the shimmering golden city of Cuzco set in the dramatic scenery of the Andes, 2) the destructiveness of violent invasion, and 3) the re-emergence of Incan glory as the City in the Sky again reached for the sun. © Satoshi Yagisawa UVIC WIND SYMPHONY UPCOMING CONCERTS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8 | 8 PM Something Old, Something New...
