NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

Zare: Lift-Off

Roger Zare was born in Sarasota, Florida where he began playing piano at the age of 5 and violin at 11. Zare’s compositional journey began at the age of 14. He pursued his passion in composition in higher education obtaining the Bachelor of Music from the University of Southern California, the Master of Music from the Peabody Conservatory of Music, and the Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan. Zare’s works are often inspired by science, mathematics, literature and mythology. His work has led him to a successful career in composition winning many awards including the ASCAP Nissim Prize, ASCAP Morton Gould award, and the Grand Prize in the inaugural China-US Emerging Composers competition.

Lift-Off was originally written for the Frank Ticheli Composition Competition in which it took home the first prize. This high energy piece features motifs that reflect the launch of a space shuttle launch. From rumbling and precise rhythmic flares to a soaring medley reflecting the shuttles first flight this piece is a thrilling experience.

Turner: I Know Moonrise

Jess Turner received bachelor’s and master’s degrees in trumpet performance from Bob Jones University. He also holds master’s and doctoral degrees in composition from the Hartt School of Music and Indiana University, respectively. Turner has received lessons from Pulitzer Prize winners Joseph Schwantner, William Bolcom, Jennifer Higdon, and Michael Colgrass. With many honors and prizes for his compositions; Turner’s music continues to become well-known within the choral and band repertoire.

I Know Moonrise, originally scored for choir with an alto soloist, was adapted for concert band with the solo alto placed in the horn section. The work begins dark and solemnly, depicting moonlight inside of a graveyard. Further along into the piece Turner lightens the mood and increases the tempo to signify the other side of darkness, light. The text to the original choral piece is as follows:

I know moonrise, I know star rise, Lay dis body down.

I walk in de moonlight, I walk in de starlight, To lay dis body down.

I walk in de graveyard, I walk through de graveyard, To lay dis body down.

I’ll lie in de grave and stretch out my arms, To lay dis body down.

I go to de judgement in de evenin’ of de day, When I lay dis body down; And my soul and your soul will meed in de day When I lay dis body down.

Barfield: Red Sky

Anthony Barfield holds degrees from in trombone performance from the Julliard and Manhattan Schools of Music. While pursuing these degrees he also studied composition with Thomas Cabaniss, Avner Dorman, C.P. First, and Nils Vigeland. Known for his lyrical writing, Barfield’s compositions have been performed by the Toronto, Seattle, and Kansas City Symphonies. Additional performances include The United States Marine Band “President’s Own,” and multiple Midwest Band Clinic and College Bandmasters National Association (CBDNA) conferences. Barfield is currently on faculty at Berklee.

Red Sky, commissioned by The University of Kentucky Wind Symphony, is based upon the big bang, space, matter, and energy. Barfield makes the connection between the theory and human beings. In this musical representation, Barfield depicts the connection and harmony of humanity.

Williams: Excerpts from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”

John Williams was born in NY in 1932 to a family of musicians His father was a jazz drummer and encouraged Williams in his musical journey on piano. Williams attended UCLA and Julliard to study music and composition. In his early twenties he was already composing for television and films, but in 1974 he met Steven Spielberg. The friendship they created led to one of the most iconic director-composer relationships in history. Williams is best known for his works in Star Wars, Superman, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, and many more. Williams has composed for other events such as the Olympics, the inauguration of Barack Obama and the NBC Nightly News. He holds five Academy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, seven BAFTA Awards and twenty-one Grammy Awards.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind was a science fiction film from 1977 originally written by Steven Spielberg. In this cinematic classic, the relationship between humans and extraterrestrial life is re-imagined with music as a core value as they explore encounters with life from beyond. The curious soundscape of the Excerpts from “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” reflects the many emotions, instability, and a soaring conclusion from the film.

Giroux: Symphony No. VI

Julie Giroux began piano at the age of 3 and started composing when she was 8 years old. Her first published composition was written when she was 13. Giroux graduated from Louisiana State University and Boston University. She has studied with John Williams, Bill Conti, and Jerry Goldsmith. Her compositions include works for orchestra, choir, chamber winds, wind ensembles, films, soloist, and others. Giroux has worked with high acclaimed artists Clint Eastwood, Madonna, Celene Dion Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul and others. With nominations for Emmys, Oscars, Grammys and Golden Globes, Giroux continues to impact music in various avenues.

Symphony No. VI - The Blue Marble, was commissioned by the Metropolitan Wind Symphony.

Movement 1 - “Blue Marble” depicts the first full image of planet earth, taken in 1972 by Apollo 17. The most reproduced picture in history, which is upside down, was taken between 4:59:05 and 5:08:14. This movement, through music, is an abbreviated introduction to planet Earth.

Movement 2 – “Voices in Green” was composed after listening to hours of George Vlad’s recordings of the Amazon jungle. Fascinating calls from birds, insects, and amphibians echoes throughout the recordings. The rain forest has its own music.

Movement 3 – “Let There Be Life. Violence, death, murder, birth, and life” produces a persistent theme throughout. The significance of the theme aligns with Giroux’s beliefs that Earth’s miracle is life and it does not belong to us, we belong to it. We should leave Earth happier and healthier than we found it.
