ABOUT US The Northshore Concert Band (NCB) is a 110-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 First Suite in Eb - Gustav Holst (1874-1934) (ed. Colin Matthews) English composer Gustav Holst descended from four generations of musicians.

Attending the Royal College of Music on a shoestring, he played trombone during holidays at seaside resorts to survive. He later played with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, as well as with other less notable ensembles. Frustrated by not having enough time to compose, he turned to teaching, and in 1905 was appointed head of music at St Paul’s Girls’ School, where he was to remain until the end of his life. The First Suite in Eb for Military Band was composed in 1909, but not publicly premiered until 1920. The featured ensemble was the 165-member Royal Military School of Music Band. The suite itself is in three separate movements - “Chaconne”, “Intermezzo”, and “March”. The thematic material of each of the movements is derived from the opening measures of the “Chaconne.” Through the fifteen variations of the first movement, Holst uses a baroque musical form which turned out to be entirely adaptable and appropriate to wind band instrumentation.

Imogen Holst has commented that her father’s interest in the music of Purcell at that time may have been the deciding factor in his decision to use this type of formal structure. She also noted, in a review of her father’s music,“It must have been a startling change (for a military ensemble) from the usual operatic selections, and there were bandsmen who long recalled the excitement of the first rehearsal in 1909. In spite of its original approach, the Suite never breaks away from the essential traditions of the band, and the March is the sort of music that is beloved of bombardons (tubas) and euphoniums. It was not for nothing that Holst had played trombone on the pier in his student days: when he opens out into an inevitable meno mosso, it is with the assurance of an experienced bandsman who knows exactly what the other players are going to enjoy.”

We will be honoring Holst’s specification on his original manuscript, “As each movement is founded on the same phrase it is requested that the Suite shall be played straight through without a break.”

Carmen Fantasia for Two Solo Trumpets - Georges Bizet (1838-1875) (arr.

Donald Hunsberger) Georges Bizet‘s mother was a pianist, and his father taught voice and composed.

Bizet’s musical gifts were evident early on, and he entered the Paris Conservatoire at age nine. During his nine years there, he rapidly developed as pianist and composer, and also developed a knack for arranging other composers’ works. After his conservatory years Bizet was thrust into the routine that was to be his for the remainder of his life: the eternal quest for opera engagements, courting directors, patrons and singers, offering compositions to reluctant publishers, organizing and conducting occasional concerts, working as a rehearsal pianist and accompanist, and making transcriptions and arrangements of other composers’ works for money.

Although his own compositions achieved no great financial success, among his peers he was recognized as the most notable of the younger generation of French composers. Bizet wrote Carmen relatively quickly, arranged the piano score, and played the piano for a rehearsal period which was prolonged and difficult. There were objections from both the orchestra, who found Bizet’s forthright style of scoring beyond their reach, and the chorus, who were expected to act convincingly as individuals rather than respond in unison as a group. Despite the outraged response of many of the audience and the generally hostile response of the press at the first performance (March 3, 1875), Carmen ran for a respectable 48 performances.

P R O G R A M N O T E S ( c o n t .)

However, Bizet was depressed by the uncomprehending and ignorant tone of many of the reviews, and tragically did not live to appreciate his success. Rarely in robust health, he died at 36 from a heart attack a few hours after the 33rd performance.

Arranged by Donald Hunsberger for the trumpet duo of Barbara Butler and Charles Geyer, this Fantasia calls for the soloists to play trumpet, flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet. Donald Hunsberger (b. 1932) is conductor emeritus of the Eastman Wind Ensemble, having served as its music director from 1965 to 2002. He also holds the title Professor Emeritus of Conducting and Ensembles at Eastman School of Music, where he served for many years as chair of the conducting and ensembles department.

Investiture Antiphonal Fanfares for Three Brass Choirs - Arthur Bliss (1891-1975) The son of an English mother and an American father, Arthur Bliss was educated at Rugby and Cambridge, and spent a year at the Royal College of Music. He served throughout World War I, and the devastation of the war led him to write the choral symphony, Morning Heroes (1931), as a tribute to those who died (including his older brother). Bliss was a prolific and versatile composer and he wrote over 140 works for every combination of voice and instrument, including large scale orchestral and choral works, music for brass bands, chamber instrumental music, songs, operas, ballets and film music. During World War II he served as director of music for the BBC. Following his knighthood in 1950 he was appointed Master of the Queen’s Musick. In this capacity he wrote numerous works and fanfares for royal occasions. At 77 he composed the Fanfares for the Investiture of Charles as

Prince of Wales (1969). Arthur Bliss was a familiar and central figure on the English musical scene for over 50 years, continuing to compose up until his death at the age of 83. His music, in an idiom much affected by earlier Romantic composers, typically reflected his warm and outgoing personality.

O Magnum Mysterium - Morten Lauridsen (b. 1943) (arr. H. Robert Reynolds) Music by Morten Lauridsen occupies a permanent place in the standard vocal repertoire of the twentieth century. A native of the Pacific Northwest, Lauridsen came from a musical background, playing piano and brass instruments. But didn’t decide to become a musician and composer until spending ten weeks in a Forest Service lookout tower by Mt. St. Helens, where “...I did a lot of self-examination ... and decided that I really belonged in music.” This decision led to several advanced degrees, a post in the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music as professor of composition for more than thirty years, chair of the composition department from 1990-2002, appointment as composer-in-residence of the Los Angeles Master Chorale from 1994-2001, and in 2007, award of the National Medal of Arts from the President in a White House ceremony, “for his composition of radiant choral works combining musical beauty, power and spiritual depth that have thrilled audiences worldwide.” O Magnum Mysterium was the first piece he wrote for the Los Angeles Chorale, and since its premier in 1994 it has had thousands of performances throughout the world and dozens of recordings. In the composer’s words, “For centuries, composers have been

North Central Concert Band 9

P R O G R A M N O T E S ( c o n t .) inspired by the beautiful Latin text for the Christmas Day matins responsory, “O Magnum Mysterium,” depicting the birth of the newborn King amongst the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God’s grace to the meek and the adoration of the Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy.”

“O great mystery and wondrous sacrament, that animals should see the new-born Lord lying in their manger!

Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear the Lord Jesus Christ.

Alleluia!

(O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio!

Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Christum. Alleluia!)”

H. Robert Reynolds has adapted this work for symphonic winds.

Dionysiaques, Op. 62 - Florent Schmitt (1870-1958) Florent Schmitt’s parents loved music and encouraged him in a musical career.

At the Paris Conservatoire he studied under Fauré and Massenet, became a life-long friend of Ravel, met Debussy, and was often seen in “interminable discussions” with Satie. Almost from the beginning he favored exotic

P R O G R A M N O T E S ( c o n t .) settings, lush orchestrations, and extreme colors in his musical works, perhaps inspired by his love of travel. Prior to 1920, Schmitt was considered to be in the front rank of “advanced”, non-conformist French musical composers.

Although his music was idiosyncratic enough at the time to earn him the admiring sobriquet “The Wild Boar of the Vosges” from younger composers, he soon became an accepted and recognized member of the French musical establishment. When not composing or teaching privately, he served on the faculty of the Lyons Conservatory, and later as the influential music critic of Le Temps (1929-39), at the time the most influential newspaper in France. During these years, sarcasm, irony and penchant for wit punctuated his regular reviews, and Schmitt was also prone to create scandal at live concerts by shouting controversial jibes from the loges. A prolific composer for orchestra, chorus, piano, and various chamber ensembles, his music fell out of favor after World War II, although Schmitt continued to compose into his 80’s. A massive work for wind and percussion, Dionysiaques, was composed in 1913 for instrumentation modeled after that of the substantial forces of the Band of the Garde Républicaine, one of the most famous bands of Europe.

This ensemble ultimately premiered the work, but not until 1925. The title Dionysiaques is drawn from the orgiastic and dramatic festivals held in honor of Dionysius, the god of fertility, wine, and drama; the piece is a virtuosic showcase for the symphonic band.
