SAPPHIRE

SAPPHIRE for concert band duration: approx. 11 minutes Instrumentation Piccolo Flute 1 and 2 Oboe Bassoon Clarinet in B-flat 1 and 2 Bass Clarinet in B-flat Alto Saxophone in E-flat 1 and 2 Tenor Saxophone in B-flat Baritone Saxophone in E-flat Trumpet in B-flat 1, 2, and 3 Horn in F 1 and 2 Trombone 1, 2, and 3 Euphonium Tuba String Bass Timpani Percussion I – Triangle, Snare Drum, Sleigh Bells Percussion II – Tambourine, Tam-tam, Suspended Cymbal, Shaker Percussion III – Woodblock, Bass Drum, Crash Cymbals Sapphire was commissioned by and written for the Mid America Freedom Band in honor of its tenth anniversary. Sapphire is the gemstone of tenth anniversaries but more importantly that brilliant blue represents “harmony” in the pride flag. What a perfect combination! The piece is built off of a four-note motive representing MAFB. In solfège, “M” can be “Mi” or “Me.” I chose E-flat—“Me”—from a fixed-Do system. “A” equals pitch A, “F” equals F, and in a German system, “B” equals B-flat. These pitches are used melodically and harmonically throughout the work. “Fanfare” is a strident display of fast trills and runs with a brief respite of solo woodwinds. A quartet of solo brass players leads back into a restatement of the original material and the trombones close the movement in a blaze of glory. The middle two movements, “Chorale (for saxophones and brass)” and “Dance (for woodwinds, percussion, and bass),” are played back-to-back without a break. A band is only as strong as its members and so I used the names of the all the MAFB members playing in the premiere as the basis for these two movements. The “Chorale” uses a musical alphabet in which every letter of the alphabet is assigned a pitch; of course some have to repeat as there are more letters than pitches available. The ‘Dance” is a quirky off-kilter quasiwaltz. I used a modified system of Morse code to embed the member names in this movement. With talented piccolo and contrabass players, I could not resist the urge to end the movement with a demented duet between the two extremes of the ensemble. “Finale” is a Latin-spiced party. It is pure fun and the rhythmic drive of the movement is taken from the natural rhythm of speaking, “Mid America Freedom Band.” Luckily for this rhythm fit perfectly over Latin dance patterns. Sapphire received its premiere on April 20, 2013 at Unity Temple on the Plaza, Kansas City, MO by the Mid America Freedom Band. The commissioning of Sapphire was made possible through the generosity of the Jon Sims Endowment Fund for the Performing Arts and donations successfully solicited through Kickstarter. Those contributors were Greg Bartholomew, Matthew Beermann, Ian M. Bradt, Jessica Bridges, Marcy Chiasson, Diane Constantin, Gabriel Di Gennaro, Melissa Dunphy, David Fekete, Jay Franklin, Mac Gardner, Christopher Gibson, Hans Goldbach, Karin E. Hacker, Kevon J.
