WELCOME Dear Friends of the Northshore Concert Band, Welcome to our 58th season!

This season’s performances showcase a series of exciting programs led by our Artistic Director, Mallory Thompson, and performed by our one hundred dedicated musicians.

Today’s program, “Remembrance”, is a poignant reminder of an important date in history.

Fanfare for the Inauguration of JFK by Bernstein, Elegy For a Young American by Lo Presti, and Eternal Father Strong to Save by Smith, will be performed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

Looking ahead, our February program will feature middle school band students from the Chicagoland area as part of our Lifetime of Music initiative. Fifty young musicians will share the stage with the Northshore Concert Band to demonstrate that music is indeed for a lifetime. On this concert day, we will host our eighth annual silent auction. This event will provide fun for all and an opportunity to support our educational mission.

Please take a moment to look over the ads throughout this program book and patronize the businesses that contribute to our programs. Help us support those who support our mission.

We can never say thank you enough for your support and dedication to the Northshore Concert Band. Although we enjoy our rehearsals and love to prepare good music, our ultimate reward is having the opportunity to share our music with you.

Sincerely -

Laura Stibich Northshore Concert Band Board Chair

Northshore Concert Band

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 3,500 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 Eternal Father, Strong to Save Claude T. Smith The powerful song “Eternal Father, Strong To Save,” often referred to as the “Navy Hymn,” was written by British composer William Whiting in 1860. Though written in England, it has become a signature American hymn of presidents, seamen, and naval officers. At the funeral of President Kennedy, himself a World War II Navy veteran, the hymn was played as a member of the Navy presented the Presidential flag. This stirring setting for winds features exuberant fanfares and a set of variations based on thematic material extracted from the original tune.

As the piece reaches its emotional climax, the entire melody is finally revealed - first by a horn choir, and then richly scored for the full ensemble.

Claude T. Smith was born in Monroe City, Missouri. He received his formal musical training at Central Methodist College and the University of Kansas, where he studied horn performance and composition. Smith taught instrumental music in the public schools of Nebraska and Missouri and served as a member of the faculty of Southwest Missouri State University. Sacred music was an important part of Smith’s training and career; he conducted the SMSU University Symphony Orchestra sacred music concerts and directed a church choirs for more than twenty years. Eternal Father, Strong to Save was written in 1974 and is dedicated to the United States Navy Band, N. E. Muffley, conductor.

Fanfare for the Inauguration of JFK Leonard Bernstein Leonard Bernstein developed a friendship with the Kennedy family in the mid-1950s when both John F. Kennedy and Bernstein participated in the filming of a television documentary about life at Harvard; the two men graduated from the institution just a year apart in 1939 and 1940. Two of Bernstein’s compositions are now seen as bookends to Kennedy’s presidency: the concise and forceful Fanfare for the Inauguration of JFK was premiered upon the new president’s arrival to his Inauguration Gala, and the somber “Kiddish” Symphony – completed just a month after Kennedy’s assassination – is dedicated to “the beloved memory of John F. Kennedy.”

Originally scored for orchestra, this band transcription by Sid Ramin utilizes woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The percussion forces open the piece, giving way to three quickly repeated fanfare motifs in the winds. Bernstein utilizes the tritone interval in the opening fanfare – a melodic motive closely associated with his West Side Story score. The second motif is expanded to a higher interval with enhanced energy and tension. The piece quickly reaches its peak, ascending even higher to the final ensemble chord.

Elegy for a Young American Ronald Lo Presti Elegy for a Young American was composed in memory of President Kennedy. The premiere performance by the Indiana Wind Ensemble occurred in April 1964, just five months after the President’s death. The solemn atmosphere of the piece represents the overwhelming sense of loss and reverence experienced by the country from this tragic event. The opening clarinet motive develops slowly, expanding melodically and harmonically throughout the work. Scoring for solo instruments and chamber ensembles provide an intimate contrast to the moments of full ensemble writing throughout the composition. Elegy for a Young American ends with the sound of peaceful chimes, symbolizing America’s prayers for President Kennedy at his funeral.

Ronald Lo Presti is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music and a former Ford Foundation Composer in Residence. He received several Ford Foundation grants for young American composers, and taught on the faculty of Texas Technical University, Indiana State College in Pennsylvania, and Arizona State University.

Concert Suite for E-flat Alto Saxophone and Band William Bolcom Known for his musical eclecticism, American composer William Bolcom has made “non-specialization” the heart of his compositional style. Like Charles Ives (the composer’s greatest musical influence), Bolcom seeks to avoid traditional European styles while at the same time not giving into radical experimentation. Having composed for a variety of genres ranging from songs, operas, concertos, chamber and instrumental works that are known for their dramatic flair, Bolcom purposely breaks down the distinction between popular and serious music, seeking to combine wildly different styles into a single composition.

Commissioned by the University of Michigan Band Alumni Association, Concert Suite for E-flat Alto Saxophone and Band was one of four compositions written to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the band program at the University of Michigan and was written specifically for the University of Michigan Symphony Band and the university’s famed professor of saxophone, Donald J. Sinta.

Bolcom writes the following about the Concert Suite: A major feature of the piece is the use of very high notes- known as “altissimo”- on the alto saxophone. (One might get them easier on soprano, but that would be cheating!)

This is Professor Sinta’s specialty and one of the many reasons he is so sought-after as a teacher, and so I felt impelled to throw a few very, very high notes at him that were perhaps over the edge of playability. At first Don swore that many notes were impossible, and I changed one or two, but very soon he called: “Don’t change any more notes- I’m taking the challenge!” So the piece is a four-movement high-wire act.

The Suite incorporates influences from my composing life. The first movement, Lively, is reminiscent of my beloved teacher, Darius Milhaud; the folksong-like second movement incorporates a simple melody that I have heard in my head most of my life. Scherzando is a fast triple-time waltz, followed by Introduction and Jump, evoking the detective dramas of early television.

Variants on a Medieval Tune Norman Dello Joio Norman Dello Joio began his musical studies with his father at the age of 14, and followed in his footsteps as a church organist. He later studied composition formally at the Julliard School of Music. After graduating in 1941, he attended the Tanglewood Music Festival for the opportunity to work with composer Paul Hindemith. Although these lessons with Hindemith were brief, they had a monumental influence on both the life and music of Dello Joio, who had a very successful career as a teacher and composer. He taught at Sarah Lawrence College and

Mannes College, was the Dean of the School of Fine Arts at Boston University, and was appointed the chairman for the national Contemporary Music Project. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957 for his composition Meditations on Ecclesiastes for String Orchestra, and his score to the NBC program “The Louvre” won an Emmy award in 1965.

Variants on a Medieval Tune was written in 1963 and is Dello Joio’s first of ten works for winds.

The piece was commissioned by the Mary Duke Biddle Foundation and was written for the Duke University Wind Ensemble. The work is based on a medieval song entitled “In dulci jubilo,” more commonly known as “Good Christian Men, Rejoice.”

Southern Harmony Donald Grantham The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is a shaped-note songbook collection of “tunes, hymns, psalms, odes and anthems” first published in 1835 by song leader William Walker.

Many of the songs are folksongs (provided with religious texts), traditional sacred tunes, or revival songs that were widely known and performed throughout the South. The book became immensely popular, selling 600,000 copies before the beginning of the Civil War, and was commonly stocked in general stores across the American frontier. From 1884 until World War II, an annual all-day mass performance of selections from Southern Harmony, called the “Benton Big Singing”, was held on the Benton, Kentucky court-house lawn. The event drew participants from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois. Many of the songs are still performed today in Christian church services, particularly the hymn “What Wondrous Love Is This?”

Composed in 1998 and commissioned by the Southeastern Conference of Band Directors, Southern Harmony by American composer Donald Grantham utilizes four of the songs found in Walker’s collection. When setting these hymns for wind band, Grantham writes that he has “... attempted to preserve the flavor of the original vocal works in a setting that fully realizes the potential of the wind ensemble and the individual character of each song”.

Regarding the folksongs found in Walker’s “Southern Harmony”, the composer writes: The music of Southern Harmony has a somewhat exotic sound to modern audiences. The tunes often use modal or pentatonic rather than major or minor scales. The harmony is even more out of the ordinary, employing chord positions, voice leading and progressions that are far removed from the European music that dominated concert halls at the time. These harmonizations were dismissed as crude and primitive when they first appeared.

Now they are regarded as inventive, unique, and powerfully representative of the American character.

Grantham continues the “inventive” nature of the songs by arranging them alongside bold harmonies, innovative melodic and rhythmic treatments, novel instrumental effects (including handclapping during the third movement), and vividly colorful orchestrations.
