P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 2 4 , 2 011 Orchestra Nature is one of the main themes in Romanticism (perhaps “the” main theme) and its musical predictors come in Haydn’s oratorios The Creation (1798), The Seasons (1801) and Beethoven’s “Pastoral Symphony, or Recollections of Country Life” (1808). Beethoven’s sketches for this work began in 1804 and his scattered comments about the process are revealing: “The hearers should be allowed to discover the situations / Sinfonia caracteristica—or recollection of country life / All painting in instrumental music is lost if it is pushed too far / Sinfonia pastorella. Anyone who has an idea of country life can make out for himself the intentions of the composer without many titles / Also without titles the whole will be recognized as a matter more of feeling than of painting in sounds.” Without doubt there are autobiographical influences on the music itself which his letters reflect: “How delighted I will be to ramble for awhile through the bushes, woods, under trees, through grass, and around rocks. No one can love the country as much as I do. For surely woods, trees, and rocks produce the echo that man desires to hear.”

The music received its first performance in a marathon concert of December 22, 1808, at the Theater an der Wien with the Symphony No. 5 in C minor, the Fourth Piano Concerto, two movements from the Mass in C, the concert aria Ah! perfido, and the “Choral” Fantasy but the music was typically under-rehearsed and the musicians struggled with his music.

From the opening of the first movement, “Awakening of cheerful feelings upon arriving in the country,” the drone in the lower strings sets the mood for a leisurely opening. The second movement, “Scene by the brook,” includes the famous birdcalls: flute for the nightingale, oboe for the quail, and the clarinet for the cuckoo. This is Beethoven’s only symphony with five movements and the last three lead one into the next. The third is entitled “Merry gathering of peasants” and suggests a town band playing dance music. The dance is interrupted by a “Tempest, storm” that approaches from afar as ominous rumblings give way to the full fury of thunder and lightning. The storm is far more intense than other well-known storms—such as by Vivaldi and Haydn—and predates later ones by Berlioz and Wagner. Just as the storm had approached gradually, so it passes, leaving some scattered moments of disruption before the “Shepherds’ hymn—Happy and thankful feelings after the storm” which brings this descriptive and evocative symphony to its close.

University Chorus Johann Crüger (1598 – 1662) was a German composer, theologian and teacher. He composed many concert works and hymns, and also wrote extensively on music education.

Heut trumphieret Gottes Sohn is taken from the collection Geistliche Kirchenmelodien, printed in 1649.

“Steal Away” is an African American spiritual that is attributed to Wallace Willis. It is believed that the melody and text were transcribed by Reverend Alexander Reid around 1862, and sent to the Jubilee Singers at Fisk University. The choir, known for their polished and moving performances of spirituals added the piece to their touring repertoire. Since that time many composers have arranged the song, including Moses Hogan (1957 – 2003), whose arrangement we will be performing this evening.

Giuseppe Verdi (1813 – 1901) wrote Macbeth in 1846, following the success of his (now lesser known) opera Attila. The libretto is based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth and tells a dark and ghastly tale complete with witches, ghosts, murder and madness. “The Witches Chorus” opens Act I: The witches gather in the forest to greet the triumphant Macbeth, as he returns from battle.

While generally known for his piano and vocal music, Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856) also composed a number of pieces for a cappella choir. His first documented foray into this genre produced the Sechs Lieder (op. 33), six songs for male chorus. The first piece in the collection, “Der träumende See” is brief, but full of gorgeous part writing that beautifully portrays the poem by Julius Mosen.

P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 2 4 , 2 011 ( c o n t .)

Eric Whitacre (b. 1970) is undoubtedly one the most popular and widely performed composers of his generation. On “Little Birds” Eric Whitacre writes: I found a beautiful Octavio Paz poem and set it in its original Spanish. The work is an homage to Gabriel Faure, with its running piano part and fluid sensual melodies. At the end of the piece the conductor claps his/her hands and all of the singers shake a piece of white paper into the air, emulating the sound of a tree full of birds taking flight.

The song “Cindy” has been a standard in the American folk song repertory for many years. It is believed that the song originated in North Carolina and since then has enjoyed great popularity. The tune has been arranged by numerous composers for a wide variety of usage, from its appearance in the John Wayne movie Del Rio to more formal (but not too formal!) arrangements such as the one by Mack Wilberg we are performing at tonight’s concert.

P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 27, 2 011 Jazz Band While working with Tjader in the late 1950s, he composed Afro Blue, a tune that has since been recorded hundreds of times, most notably by saxophonist John Coltrane and his quartet in the early 60s, who played the tune frequently in live performances.”

Four is one the most popular songs from the hard-bop era of jazz that grew out of bebop in the 1950s. A favorite among jazz musicians, the tune has been recorded by a variety of performers hundreds of times over the last 60 years. Although there is some uncertainty about the actual composer, a phenomenon not uncommon in the first half century of recorded jazz, it is generally attributed to either trumpeter Miles Davis or alto saxophonist Eddie “Cleanhead” Vinson. Whatever the case, the simple repeating three note figures in syncopation at the beginning of each 16 bar section, creating a stop time effect, render the tune memorable and “catchy”, undoubtedly contributing to its popularity. Mike Tomaro’s exciting big band arrangement makes use of the three note motif in many places: the introduction, interlude between solos, backgrounds behind the second soloist, and in the full ensemble shout chorus. Just prior to the shout chorus, the saxophone section is featured in a harmonized soli.

Like Four, film and musical theater composer Bronislau Kaper’s Invitation has become a jazz standard. Born in 1902 in Warsaw, Poland, Kaper’s career as a composer began in the theaters of Berlin, before fleeing Nazi Germany and relocating to Paris, where he began composing for the emerging sound film genre. He then emigrated to the United States, where he worked for MGM Studios in Hollywood, composing music for many films, including On Green Dolphin Street (1947) and Invitation (1952). The harmonically rich and restless theme music for the latter soon after became popular among jazz musicians. The use of wide intervals in the melody and colorful chord extensions in the underlying harmony are interesting musical features. The melody features a haunting melodic phrase in a minor key, which swiftly leaps up by the interval of a seventh before falling back to the original register, gently twisting back on itself along the way. The melody is repeated in another key before leading to a bridge, which features a repeated four bar melodic motif based on descending fifth intervals that modulates down by whole steps, eventually leading back to a recap of the first section. Master arranger, composer and pianist Frank Mantooth sets the tune in Latin rhythm, adding his signature lush harmonies, interesting bass lines, and developmental sections to create a beautiful arrangement of the classic tune.

Charles Mingus is unquestionably one of the jazz idiom’s most important composers and bassists. His music fuses elements from a variety of musical styles: AfricanAmerican gospel music, classical music, early jazz, bebop, hard-bop, and free improvisation. Like his idol Duke Ellington, he composed with specific musicians in mind, and as his career and compositional skills progressed, he produced many large-scale works. Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, composed as an elegy to saxophone titan Lester Young on the day of his death and referencing his choice of headwear, is one of Mingus’ most well-known compositions, first appearing on the 1959 record Mingus Ah Um, one of his best-known recordings. The piece is an excellent example of how Mingus could retain the emotional feeling of a rich musical tradition, in this case the blues, but expand on it in a very personal and sophisticated way. The simple bluesy, soulful and mournful melody is set against chord changes that suggest the blues form, but are much more harmonically sophisticated. Contrastingly, the solo form is a variation that more closely resembles the traditional blues form. Musicologist and educator Andrew Homzy’s arrangement for big band draws from the original quintet recording by adopting Mingus’ bass line and phrases from the saxophone solos of Booker Ervin and John Handy.

Cuban-born conga player Ramón “Mongo” Santamaría was among a group of Cuban percussionists that emigrated to New York City in the 1940s and ‘50s; a lineage that 6 Loyola University Chicago

P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 27, 2 011 ( c o n t .) also included Frank “Machito” Grillo, Chano Pozo, and Carlos “Patato” Valdez, whom had already collaborated with and inspired leading jazz musicians including Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and composer/bandleader Stan Kenton. These Cuban immigrant musicians were instrumental in the formation and refinement of Afro-Cuban jazz and salsa music, which first rose to popularity in New York in the 40s. Mongo Santamaría became well known while playing with Cal Tjader, a leader of California’s Latin jazz scene, who came to New York to record. While working with Tjader in the late 1950s, he composed Afro Blue, a tune that has since been recorded hundreds of times, most by saxophonist John Coltrane and his quartet in the early 60s, who played the tune frequently in live performances. The tune is written in 3/4 time, but has a strong 6/8 undercurrent. This 3 against 2 rhythm creates an inherent rhythmic tension throughout. Arranger and trumpeter Michael Philip Mossman, who specializes in arranging many diverse Latin musical styles for big band, sets the tune in traditional Cuban rhythm. The arrangement makes much use of the aforementioned rhythmic tension in the horn figures, and creates much excitement with solo breaks, interludes, melodic counterpoint, and syncopation. The tune’s relatively simple harmonic structure and form make it a great vehicle for soloists.

Wind Ensemble Dmitri Shostakovich is generally regarded as one of the most important composers of the twentieth century, especially in the realm of symphonic music. His compositional career was marked by turns of support and criticism by the Soviet government, especially under the reign of Joseph Stalin. After Stalin attended a 1936 performance of Shostakovich’s opera Lady Macbeth, the state-run newspaper Pravda decried the work as “muddle instead of music,” and warned Shostakovich to reform his “leftist confusion.” He responded by composing his wildly popular Fifth Symphony in 1937, to which he ascribed the subtitle “a Soviet artist’s practical creative reply to just criticism.” Several theories surround the genesis of Shostakovich’s 1954 composition Festive Overture. One author claims that it was originally written in 1947, but was suppressed by Shostakovich along with many of his compositions created during this repressive period of Soviet history. Others believe that the celebratory quality of the overture displays Shostakovich’s relief at the death of Stalin in 1953. Most probably, the work was commissioned for a gathering at the Bolshoi Theater in November 1954, celebrating the thirty-seventh anniversary of the October Revolution. Festive Overture has proved to be one of Shostakovich’s most frequently performed works, and the opening fanfares of the overture were even used to announce the start of each day’s events at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.

Dana Wilson holds a doctorate from the Eastman School of Music, and is currently the Charles A. Dana Professor of Music in the School of Music at Ithaca College.

His works have been commissioned and performed by such diverse ensembles as the Chicago Chamber Musicians, Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings, Buffalo Philharmonic, Memphis Symphony, Washington military bands, Netherlands Wind Ensemble, Syracuse Symphony, and Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Shortcut Home was commissioned in 1998 by the Hillsborough (New Jersey) High School Band, directed

by Mindy Scheierman. The composer writes the following about the work: Shortcut Home is a rousing and rather elaborate fanfare that features each section of the ensemble. Drawing upon various jazz styles, the music proclaims and cascades, always driving towards the “home” of the final, C major chord.

Born in 1953 in Voorburg, the Netherlands, Johan de Meij studied trombone and conducting at the Royal Conservatory of Music in The Hague. His first symphony, “The Lord of the Rings,” is based on the trilogy of that name by English author J. R. R. Tolkien.

Written between March 1984 and December 1987, the work was awarded first prize in the 1989 Sudler International Wind Band Composition Competition in Chicago. The orchestral version was premiered by the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra in 2001 Loyola University Chicago 7

P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 27, 2 011 ( c o n t .) and has been recently recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. The symphony consists of five separate movements, each illustrating a personage or important episode from the books. This evening’s performance will feature the first movement, “Gandalf (The Wizard).” The composer describes the first movement as follows: The first movement is a musical portrait of the wizard Gandalf, one of the principal characters of the trilogy. His wise and noble personality is expressed by a stately motif. The sudden opening of the Allegro vivace is indicative of the unpredictability of the grey wizard, followed by a wild ride on his beautiful horse Shadowfax.

Malcolm Arnold, along with William Walton and Benjamin Britten, was one of England’s most prolific and well-respected composers of the twentieth century. In 1948, after holding the first chair in the trumpet section of the London Philharmonic Orchestra for six years, Arnold retired from professional performing and dedicated himself to composing. His works are known for memorable tunes and exciting flourishes, and he wrote music in numerous compositional genres. Arnold composed Little Suite for Brass, Op. 80 in 1963 as a work for brass band; the version heard this evening, Prelude, Siciliano and Rondo, was arranged for concert band in 1979 by John P. Paynter, Director of Bands at Northwestern University from 1953–1996. The arranger writes the following about the work: All three movements are written in short, clear five-part song forms (ABACA).

The Prelude begins bombastically in fanfare style, but reaches a middle climax, and winds down to a quiet return of the opening measures that fades to silence.

The liltingly expressive Siciliano is both slower and more expressive, allowing solo instruments and smaller choirs of instruments to be heard. The rollicking five-part Rondo provides a romping finale in which the technical brilliance of the modern wind band is highlighted.
