WELCOME !

Dear Audience Member, Today we welcome our new friends Rüdiger Müller and Bruno Loffler, the members of the Musikverein Harmonie Niederschopfheim, and their fellow travelers to the United States and Evanston, Illinois.

Approximately two years ago, discussions began with our fellow musicians from Germany with regard to a possible exchange visit whereby we would combine performances and have the opportunity to share the diversity of our cultures. We are thrilled to have this segment of our planning come to fruition. Next June, the Northshore Band will travel to Niederschopfheim to perform with the Musikverein Harmonie.

Although our demographics may be different, the Northshore Concert Band and the Musikverein Harmonie Niederschopfheim both share an established history of music making in our communities and countries. Music is our common bond; as Hans Christian Anderson said, “Where words fail, music speaks.”

We are grateful to have this opportunity to spend time together with our musical friends from Germany. We look forward to June of 2012, when we travel to Niederschopfheim and the next step of our musical exchange. We hope that you, as our audience, enjoy the benefit of getting to hear not one but two bands on this June afternoon.

SPECIAL GUEST – BL ASORCHESTER NIEDERSCHOPFHEIM The Musikverein Harmonique Niederschopfehim (the Musical Society of Niederschopfehim) sponsors a seventy-member Community Wind Band for nonprofessional musicians. The Society just celebrated their one-hundredth anniversary in 2009, even though their history as a music group in the village of Niederschopfheim dates to a “trumpet corps” in 1873. Dr. Mallory Thompson was the guest conductor for their anniversary celebration concert and was a clinician for a conducting clinic.

The society functions as a community music school by offering instrumental music lessons and two youth wind groups: the “Bambini” Vororchestra (youth orchestra) and a youth wind band. Elementary students individually train on their instruments under the tutelage of the Society instructors because most public school systems do not offer instrumental music. Many German towns have community schools and bands where the students learn music. This fosters pride in the musicians by being able to represent their respective towns. As the students improve their skills they move up from the “bambini” band, their first group experience of about fifteen students, into the youth wind band, a group of about thirty students that performs several times a year.

The Niederschopfehim Band rehearses and performs in Harmony Hall and since 2001 has been under the direction of Rüdiger Müller. The band, congruent with its history, performs well at regional competitions. The group maintains an extensive repertoire of music ranging from serious concert and wind band music to popular music from their summer concert series.

C O N D U C TO R Rüdiger Müller Maestro Müller began his musical career in 1984 as a baritone player and member of the Hockenheim Youth City chapel. In 1988 he began playing the bassoon at the community music school in Hockenheim, and afterwards studied with Mathias Roscher, a member of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra.

During this time he also took over the Hockenheim town youth chapel as a conductor and youth leader. After performing with the Karlsruhe Union Youth Orchestra in 1993 he joined Baden-Wurttemberg Wind Orchestra, one of the most revered wind orchestras in Germany. He completed his military duty as a bassoonist with the Mountain Band 8 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

In 1995 he began a study of orchestral music and music education with a major in bassoon with Stefan Weidner at the Musikhochschule Saarbrücken. During this time he also completed a course in conducting for concert band with Ingrid Fromm, Winterhalter Leopold, Henry Braun and Reinhold Rogg, which lead to him taking over the Stadtkapelle Hockenheim orchestra association as a conductor.

Maestro Müller has worked with teachers such as Mallory Thompson, Timothy Reynish, Frank Battisti, Jerry Junkin, David Maslanka, Clark Rundell, Eugene Corporon, Alfred Reed, Frederick Fennell, Ron Nelson, Frank Ticheli, Mark Camphouse, Lorin Maazel and Christoph Eschenbach. He leads the band Niederschopfheim, the Musikverein and the Musikverein Mahlberg Heitersheim.

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 cosponsors 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.

North Park University’s School of Music offers a bachelor of arts in music and a bachelor of music in education, worship, performance, and composition, as well as a master’s in vocal performance.

PROGR A M NOTES Rocky Point Holiday - Ron Nelson (b.1929) Joliet-born Ron Nelson started on piano at age six, and by 13 had become a church organist. He considers his organ studies crucial because they revealed the basic principles of orchestration. He started conducting and arranging shows while attending Joliet Township High School, and taught himself string bass in order to play in the band. At 17 he composed a 22-minute concerto for piano and symphonic band,“...for which I played the first and last performance.” Later attending the Eastman School of Music, he earned three degrees and studied with Howard Hanson.

Between degrees, Nelson studied at the Ecole Normale de Musique and the Paris Conservatory, and during a visit to England, managed to meet Ralph Vaughan Williams (“It was like meeting God. He was very kind and his personality did seem to fit his music.”) Following graduation, he joined the music faculty of Brown University and taught there until his retirement in 1993. Nelson has composed more than 90 published works for band, orchestra, and voice. He has been granted many prizes for his compositions, and has received numerous commissions, including those from the National Symphony Orchestra, the U.S. Air Force Band and Chorus, and the Aspen Music Festival. Rocky Point Holiday, a commission from Frank Bencriscutto and the University of Minnesota band for a tour of Russia, was composed between 1968 and 1969, and was Nelson’s first major work for wind ensemble. The bulk of the work on the composition occurred while Nelson was on vacation at a Rhode Island seaside resort of the same name. Rocky Point, since closed, was an amusement park in existence for over a hundred years.

Suite of Old American Dances - Robert Russell Bennett (1894-1981) “Orchestrations by Robert Russell Bennett” was one of the most common of credits in Broadway’s “golden age.” Between 1920 and 1975 Bennett orchestrated all or part of more than 300 shows including Show Boat, My Fair Lady, Oklahoma, Camelot, South Pacific, The King and I, The Sound of Music, and Annie Get Your Gun. He became the first-choice collaborator for Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Frederick Loewe, Cole Porter, and Richard Rodgers (with whom he also produced and conducted the magnificent television series and then movie, Victory at Sea). Always capable of providing “whatever the composer left out,” he dominated the field of theater orchestration for decades. His training started early. Both of his parents were professional musicians in the Kansas City area.

Bennett began piano lessons with his mother and, soon after, trumpet and violin with his father. “When I was nine my father gave me a trumpet and after a little preliminary sparring I set about playing a piece with my sister (at the piano). The piece was called “The Naughty Pixie Mocking His Mother,” The upper part of which I had already copied out for the violin. To my dismay the first note didn’t fit and suddenly the meaning of “Trumpet in B flat” dawned on me, whereupon we got a fresh start and gave a successful rendition of the piece, to the great astonishment and delight of our doting father.” But his great success as an arranger has somewhat obscured his capability as a composer. A student of Nadia Boulanger in the late 1920s, Bennett ultimately completed more than 175 original compositions in a variety of genres: seven symphonies, an opera, over 30 wind band pieces, incidental music, choral and vocal works, and keyboard and chamber music. These works were performed by top orchestras and soloists, particularly in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Attending a concert of the Edwin Franko Goldman Band in 1948, Bennett recalled, “ I suddenly thought of all the beautiful sounds the American concert band could make that it hadn’t yet made. That doesn’t mean that the unmade sounds passed in review in my mind at all, but the sounds they made were so new to me after all my years with orchestra, dance bands and tiny “combos” that my pen was practically jumping out of my pocket begging me to give this great big instrument some more music to play. To satisfy all this urging I found time to put a good-sized piece on paper. ....It was published with the name Suite of Old American Dances. I had a nice name for it, but you know how publishers are - they know their customers, and we authors never seem to. My name for it was Electric Park. Electric Park in Kansas City was a place of magic to us kids. The tricks with big electric signs, the illuminated fountains, the big band concerts, the scenic railway and the big dance hall - all magic. In the dance hall all afternoon and evening you could hear the pieces the crowds danced to, and the five movements of my piece were samples of the dances of the day.”

Symphony No. 3, Slavyanskya - Boris Kozhevnikov (1906-1985)(scored for American bands by John R. Bourgeois) Boris Kozhevnikov studied at the Kharkov Music-Dramatic Institute and later the Military School of Music in Moscow. He subsequently taught at the Moscow Conservatory and the Institute of Military Conductors for over forty years, and during the same period he held conducting positions in various theaters. He was a preeminent composer for the wind orchestras of the Soviet military. During the Soviet era, composers were expected to write music that was accessible to the masses, contained programmatic inferences, and aroused sentiments of patriotism and nationalistic pride. Wind and percussion ensembles were attractive receptors for such com12 Northshore Concert Band

P R O G R A M N O T E S ( c o n t .) positions, as it has been estimated that three thousand military wind orchestras were performing in the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War. These ensembles played original Russian and Soviet music, most of which is unknown outside Russia.

Composers such as Shostakovich, Khachaturian, and Prokofiev wrote for the military ensembles, providing marches and programmatic works. Kozhevnikov composed over 40 pieces for winds. The Third Symphony, subtitled Slavanskaya, dates from 1950, and is based on folk themes from the Novgorod area, the composer’s birthplace. The first movement is structured on two folk songs of contrasting style. The second is a waltz featuring pairs of clarinets, cornets, and euphoniums; while the third is a demanding scherzo with technical virtuosity demanded of every section, especially the solo piccolo. The fourth and final movement is reminiscent of the first, but with unique thematic material.

Second Suite in F — Gustav Holst (1874 -1934) Gustav Holst , one of Britain’s most prominent composers, was also a professional trombonist and a teacher of composition and organ. His works include symphonies, operas, ballets, chamber music and songs. Holst was deeply interested in folk songs and used these as the basis for much of his music.

The Second Suite in F for Military Band, composed in 1911, is a four-movement work that uses English folk songs as compositional material for each movement.

The opening March includes the songs Morris Dance, Swansea Town and Claudy Banks. The second movement is a lyrical setting of the ballad I Love My Love, which tells of a young girl’s grief of being forcibly separated from her love, while the

P R O G R A M N O T E S ( c o n t .) third is The Song of the Blacksmith, a lively contrasting song from the point of view of a woman who has been rejected by the object of her affection. The concluding Dargason is a country-dance that is described in dancing books from the 1500s, and is combined with the well-known Greensleeves.

Hymn to the Sun — Satoshi Yagisawa (b. 1975) Satoshi Yagisawa completed his musical training at the Musashino Academia Musicae. He studied trumpet under Takeji Sekine and composes a wide variety of music including orchestral music, chamber music,and chorus. Recently his compositions for band have been introduced and well received at International Conference of World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE).

Yagisawa participates in a wide variety of activities including judging for competitions, guest conducting, teaching, and writing for various music magazines, and is rapidly gaining exposure as a top Japanese composer.

With a variety of moods in the style of a tone poem, Hymn to the Sun with the Beat of Mother Earth uses dramatic brass fanfares and woodwind flourishes to bookend the sung, chorale-like middle section.

Arabesque — Samuel R. Hazo (b. 1966) Samuel R. Hazo resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his wife and children. In 2003, Mr. Hazo became the first composer in history to be awarded the winner of both composition contests sponsored by the National Band Association. He has composed for the professional, university and public school levels in addition to writing original scores for television, radio and the stage.

Mr. Hazo has been a music teacher at every educational grade level from kindergarten through college, including tenure as a high school and university director.

He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Duquesne University.

Arabesque was commissioned by the Indiana Bandmasters’ Association for the 2008 All-State Honor Band. It was composed to include the delicate melodic textures of Middle Eastern prayer, and features the doumbek, a hand drum commonly used in the North African music.
