ABOUT US The Northshore Concert Band (NCB) is a 100-member adult symphonic band with membership drawn from the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Founded in 1956 by the late John P. Paynter, the ensemble has become internationally known and respected for its musical excellence, membership continuity, and service to music education. Dr. Mallory Thompson, director of bands and professor of conducting at Northwestern University, is NCB’s artistic director. Thompson is in great demand as a guest conductor and clinician throughout the United States and is widely regarded as one of the leading wind conductors in the nation.

NCB performs 10 to12 concerts a year in the Chicago metropolitan area, reaching over 20,000 people. These include a four-concert series at Northwestern University’s Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, educational outreach programs at area schools, many summer concerts at the invitation of various communities and venues, and professional band festivals and conferences. Over the years, the group has worked with many renowned soloists and conductors, including Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, Frederick Fennell, Leroy Anderson, and dozens of musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, including Christopher Martin, John Bruce Yeh, Dale Clevenger, Adolph Herseth, and Mathieu Dufour.

NCB has produced eight CDs and receives playtime on Chicago’s classical music station, WFMT, among others. The band has also toured in Canada and Europe and extensively throughout the United States.

NCB’s mission is deeply rooted in the concept of “community” and in encouraging involvement in music for people at all stages of life. NCB strives to be a leader in performance, educational outreach, recorded works, and new commissions, while reaffirming the heritage of bands in America. Several programs in NCB’s Lifetime of Music initiative help further the band’s educational mission. NCB co-sponsors the Northshore Concert Band/Northwestern University Festival, which annually provides 4,000 Chicago area young musicians the opportunity to perform solos and ensembles, with NCB members serving as judges and clinicians. The band also awards its John P. Paynter Scholarship to an outstanding young musician and invites dozens of talented high school students to perform with the band at the Winter Concert to help encourage young people to pursue their musical endeavors after graduation.

The ensemble’s musicians come from throughout the Chicago area, northern Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, and represent many professional backgrounds.

Approximately half are professional music educators; the rest have a diverse set of occupations including business executives, attorneys, and physicians. Musicians range in age from 20 to 85, many with a tenure of two decades or more with the ensemble. All of the musicians are selected by audition and are strongly committed to volunteering their time and talents to the group.

NCB has sponsored three adult band conferences and has published a guide to organizing community bands. The guide has been used by hundreds of community bands over the past 20 years. These community band resources are available for download on our website, www.northshoreband.org.

PROGR A M NOTES Sound the Bells - John Williams (b. 1932) (trans. by Paul Lavender) One of the most popular and financially successful American orchestral composers of our time, John Williams is the winner of five Academy Awards, 17 Grammys, three Golden Globes, and two Emmys. He is best known for heroic, rousing themes to adventure and fantasy films, many among the highest grossing films of all time. These include the Star Wars series, Superman, Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and the first three Harry Potter movies. His 1977 score to the first Star Wars film was selected in 2005 by the American Film Institute as the greatest American movie score of all time. Although primarily recognized for his film scores and ceremonial music, Williams has also composed concert works and is a notable conductor. From 1980 to 1993 he conducted the Boston Pops Orchestra. A Long Islander by birth, Williams had both jazz piano and classical composition training at UCLA and Los Angeles City College. He was a conductor and arranger while in the U.S. Air Force, and after discharge attended the Juilliard School. While In New York, he worked as a jazz pianist, played with composer Henry Mancini, and even performed on the recording of the famous Peter Gunn theme. But eventually he made his way back to Hollywood as a staff arranger for Columbia and Twentieth Century Fox. He led the Boston Pops on several tours of Japan, and Sound the Bells was written to celebrate the Japanese royal wedding of Crown Prince Naruhito and Masako Owada, which occurred close to the time of the tour in 1993. The typically huge Japanese temple bells served as partial inspiration for the strong presence of chimes and percussion in this piece.

Shenandoah - Frank Ticheli (b. 1958) Professor of Composition at the University of Southern California, Louisiana-born Frank Ticheli’s pieces for concert band are well known and widely performed. His orchestral works have received performances from the symphony orchestras of Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, and Dallas, the American Composers Orchestra, and the radio orchestras of Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Saarbruecken, and Austria. Ticheli’s compositions have received numerous awards, and he has conducted his music at many American universities and music festivals, and in cities throughout the world. From 1991 to 1998, he was composer in residence of the Pacific Symphony.

During this period, Ticheli said he grew up as a professional, with constant pressure to have pieces ready to perform. In addition to his work for professional groups, one third of Ticheli’s compositions are written for younger musicians, work he calls “a wonderful privilege,” and “which I spend just as much time and effort on as my work for professionals.” “Helping teachers all over the world give something positive to kids … is something I’m very proud of.” According to the composer, “In my setting of Shenandoah I was inspired by the freedom and beauty of the folk melody and by the natural images evoked by the words, especially the image of a river. I was less concerned with the sound of a rolling river than with its life-affirming energy -- its timelessness. Sometimes the accompaniment flows quietly under the melody; other times it breathes alongside it. The work’s mood ranges from quiet reflection, through growing optimism, to profound exaltation.”

Old American Songs - Aaron Copland (1900-1990) Simple Gifts I Bought Me a Cat At the River Ching-A-Ring Chaw Described by Leonard Bernstein as, “the best we’ve got,” composer Aaron Copland, during his long and varied musical career, was recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, an Academy Award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Medal of Honor. His compositional output included symphonies, ballets, operas, music for movies and television, band pieces, and art songs. Also remarkable was his continual encouragement of American composers, and his efforts as author/teacher to general audiences. Born in Brooklyn, he took private composition lessons following graduation from high school, and subsequently studied with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, an experience which he described as, “the most important of my musical life.” Old American Songs I and II are Copland’s settings of songs drawn from diverse sources. “Simple Gifts” is the Shaker song used in Appalachian Spring arranged in a straightforward style closer to the original folk version. “I Bought Me a Cat” is a children’s nonsense song, “At the River” the familiar 1865 hymn tune, and “Ching-a-Ring Chaw,” a minstrel song for which Copland had to change the existing text, “not wanting to take any chance of it being construed as racist.” Baritone William Warfield, who sang the American premiere of both sets, commented, “The songs were a tremendous success. Aaron was an excellent pianist and, of course, knowing the flavor of them so well, it was a tremendous expe-

When we rehearsed “I Bought Me a Cat, “ I stopped at “I bought me a cow,” because the sound written in the score is “bah, bah.” I said to Aaron, “It doesn’t sound right to me ‘- I think it should be “moo, moo.” He grinned and said, “Okay,” and that’s the way we recorded it.”

Music of the Night from Phantom of the Opera - Andrew Lloyd Webber (b. 1948) (trans. J. Zastoupil) Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has written some of the most commercially successful musicals of the last quarter of the twentieth century. Among his most popular shows are Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (1967), Jesus Christ Superstar (1971), Evita (1974), Cats (1981), The Phantom of the Opera (1986), and Sunset Boulevard (1993). Born in London to musical parents, (his father was a faculty member at the Royal College of Music and his mother a piano teacher), he showed musical aptitude at a very young age. Although he won a scholarship to Oxford, he dropped out before turning 20 to make his way as a composer, and almost from that time has been filling theaters. His 45-year career has brought just about every award that the entertainment world can offer, including, among others, seven Tonys, three Grammys, and an Oscar. It is estimated that The Phantom of the Opera has played to more than 20 million, and Cats ran for 21 years in London. At home, success has brought a private fortune estimated at £700 million, ownership of seven London theaters, and the kind of recognition that usually escapes composers. Based on Gaston Leroux’s novel, The Phantom of the Opera is a “sung-through” musical -- one in which spoken dialogue is limited and often replaced by operatic recitative (speech-singing).

The lavish sets, impressive special effects, and hauntingly beautiful musical score have made the show one of the most popular musicals worldwide.

American Salute - Morton Gould (1913-1996) (trans. by Philip J. Lang) Morton Gould was a major figure in American music for much of the twentieth century. He was a composer, conductor, arranger, recording artist, pianist, head of ASCAP, and received the Pulitzer Prize in music. Born in Queens, New York, he was a child prodigy, playing the piano and composing a published piece when he was only six. He later recalled of a recital performance when he was nine of a duet-version of the “Marriage of Figaro” overture, “I assumed that this was a race, but they told me not to finish before she did.” With the Depression his formal training ended and Gould found work in movie theaters, vaudeville, and the Radio City Music Hall. His popular musical reputation developed rapidly due to his early involvement in radio. In 1942, after the United States had entered World War II, a producer for a new radio program called the Cresta Blanca Carnival asked Gould to write a salute to the United States for the inaugural broadcast. Overnight, Gould composed a series of variations on a famous song from another war, When Johnny Comes Marching Home, by Patrick Gilmore. Gilmore, an Irish immigrant who became a famous bandleader in America, founded a band attached to the Massachusetts 24th Regiment, the members serving as both musicians and stretcher bearers in the Civil War. When Johnny Comes Marching Home was published after the Battle of Gettysburg, Gilmore indicated that it was taken from a folk song, “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye”. Gould’s version, American Salute, was premiered on October 14, 1942. It was an immediate success and Gould soon won a gold record for his recording of the piece.

Candide Suite - Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) (adapted by C. Grundman) The Best of All Possible Worlds Westphalia Chorale and Battle Scene Auto-da-fe (What a Day) Glitter and Be Gay Make Our Garden Grow During his brilliant career, Leonard Bernstein, excelled as composer, conductor, teacher, television personality, and pianist. The son of Ukrainian immigrants, he grew up in comfortable circumstances, early displayed his genius in playing the piano, graduated from Harvard and the Curtis Institute, and began his career with a bang, substituting at the last minute for the ill Bruno Walter on a nationwide Sunday broadcast of the New York Philharmonic. Bernstein became Music Director of the Philharmonic in 1958, and from then until 1969 he led more concerts with the orchestra than any previous conductor. He subsequently made frequent guest appearances holding the lifetime title of Laureate Conductor. A leading advocate of American composers, he regularly included their music in programs both here and abroad. His televised concert and lecture series started with the “Omnibus” program in 1954, followed in 1958 by the “Young People’s Concerts with the New York Philharmonic,” which continued for fourteen seasons. Bernstein’s fame as a composer came from his music for Fancy Free, On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide, West Side Story, his Jeremiah Symphony, the score for the award-winning movie “On the Waterfront”, Mass commissioned for the opening of the Kennedy Center, Chichester Psalms, and numerous other

P R O G R A M N O T E S ( c o n t .) works for the theater and concert hall. The score of Candide was described by Bernstein as a Valentine card to European music. European dance forms such as the gavotte, mazurka, polka, schottische and waltz pop up all over the place. His biographer, Humphrey Burton, claimed, “There never was a Broadway show fashioned with more musical skill. As it turned out, the cleverness worked against it at the box office.” Opening on December 1,1956, it ran for only seventy-three performances. However, the full orchestral version of the Overture rapidly became his most popular concert hall composition.

The Chimes of Liberty March – Edwin Franko Goldman (1878-1956) (arr. L. Schissel) Edwin Franko Goldman was born in Louisville, Kentucky on January 1, 1878. He was a member of the musical Franko family who, in the 1860’s, toured Europe and America as musical prodigies. Goldman began early studies on cornet with the eminent cornet soloist Jules Levy, and later received a scholarship to the National Conservatory of Music, studying composition with its director, Anton Dvorak. At age 22 he had established himself as a virtuoso cornetist and performed with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra for nine years. In addition he was a writer for the Carl Fischer Music Company and had a very lucrative teaching practice with 90 students per week. During his tenure with the Met he had the opportunity to play under some great conductors including Walter Damrosch, Gustave Mahler and Arturo Toscanini. In 1911 Goldman formed a group which was initially called the New York Military Band, and later became known as the Goldman Band. It became one of the most famous bands of its kind in the world.

From 1924 onward, Goldman Band concerts were underwritten by the Guggenheim family. Goldman conducted his band in summer concerts in Central Park and at many world’s fairs and expositions until his death in 1956. Goldman was a founding member of the American Bandmasters Association, and also composed over 150 works. The Chimes of Liberty March is a military march written in 1922, and is one of Goldman’s most popular compositions.

Is your sixth sense a sense of timing?

Seniors

with a sense of timing know that if they choose life at the North Shore Retirement Hotel while they are younger and healthier they are more likely to have a longer, better life. Here's why...

Meals are served in our fine dining room three times a day.

Maid Service is provided daily so you can enjoy the things you want to do rather than the things you have to do. A wide variety of activities, both planned and spontaneous, bustle

throughout the community from morning till night. Health issues may be identified earlier and can often be addressed while you stay in your own apartment. Staffing is 24-hours.

With a location in the heart of Evanston, city and lakefront activities are just steps away.

The North Shore Hotel has so much to offer, you'll want to call right away to find out about all the benefits of living here. Let your sense of timing guide you… don’t wait to pick up the phone.
