from the conductor additional program notes by Jeffrey Scott Doebler

I am truly honored that Carol Wessler has sponsored the 2023 LSM Festival Concert Band directorship in honor of her late husband, Peter Wessler (1957–2020). Peter was my good friend and one of the most sincere, thoughtful, and kind people I have ever known. He was also an outstanding educator and a fine musician. In his role as LSM Academy Director, Peter and I worked together for many years. I had previously served in that position, so the two of us could share experiences and problem-solving strategies. Peter and I shared a passion for music education, which included an intense commitment to Lutheran Summer Music. I’m dedicating our concert tonight to Peter Wessler, one of LSM’s most devoted servants.

—Jeffrey Scott Doebler

Seminole Snake Dance 2020

Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate b. 1968

Composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma. He’s one of the most successful Native American classical composers, and has had his music performed by important orchestras in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Detroit, Dallas, and Minneapolis. Mr. Tate is an Emmy Award-winner and holds the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Seminole Snake Dance is dedicated to Seminole Chief Enoch Kelly Haney, who was as sculptor, and a member of both houses of Oklahoma legislature. Scholars believe that the snake dance was originally a water ceremony, because snakes were the traditional guardians of springs. You’ll hear the snake dance melody majestically quoted in the opening measures. After that, the work gets significantly faster and focuses on rhythm (mostly in 7/8 time), but you’ll also hear the snake dance melody stated many times by different combinations of instruments.

Tudor Sketches 2013

William Owens b. 1963

Hampton Court Good Queen Bess Hunting at Chobham William Owens is an African American composer who grew up in Gary, Indiana, then had a career of more than 30 years as a music educator in Texas. He is one of today’s most successful band composers, having published more than 200 works. Among his many accomplishments was being commissioned by the Indiana Bandmasters Association to compose for one of the all-state bands in Indiana’s bicentennial year.

He will conduct the Indiana Junior All-State Band in 2024. Tudor Sketches is based on musical styles from the time of the House of Tudor, which ruled England and Ireland from 1485–1603. The work is especially successful in showcasing the timbres of each section in the band.

Rhythm Stand 2004

Jennifer Higdon

b. 1962

For many years, Jennifer Higdon taught at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. She is the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in Music, as well as three Grammy Awards. Dr. Higdon’s music has been performed around the world, and she has been commissioned by ensembles that include the National Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony, and the Indianapolis Symphony. According to Dr. Higdon, Rhythm Stand “pays tribute to the 3

FESTIVAL BAND CONCERT constant presence of rhythm in our lives, from the pulse of a heart beating to the rhythmic sounds of the world around us.” The composition presents many layers of interlocking rhythms. It also serves as comic relief on the program, resulting from the tempo, the variety of rhythms, and the title. It will be apparent, right from the beginning, why the piece is called Rhythm STAND.

Kingsfold 2015

English traditional

arr. Johnnie Vinson, b. 1944

An English traditional melody, Kingsfold gives us the chance to demonstrate the beautiful, blended sounds of the concert band. You can find hymns with the Kingsfold tune as hymns 444 and 846 in Lutheran Service Book (what we at LSM call the “chocolate” hymnal) and as hymns 251, 412, 611, and 636 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship (the “cranberry” hymnal). The creator of this band arrangement is Dr. Johnnie Vinson, retired director of bands from Auburn University.

20 de Julio 2010

Hernan Olano b. 1957

On July 20, 1810, Colombia declared its independence. 20 de Julio was composed for Colombia’s bicentennial. Hernan Olano is a composer based in Bogotá, Colombia.

The work is in the form of the Colombian dance, the pasillo fiestero, which is described by Mr. Olano as a “joyful Andean rhythm from the early nineteenth century, born in Colombia to celebrate independence and today very popular in the Andean region and Central America.”

March: The Klaxon 1929

Henry Fillmore 1881–1956

Henry Fillmore played trombone in circus bands and was a conductor and guest conductor for professional bands and school bands. The Klaxon March, also known as March of the Automobiles, was composed by Maestro Fillmore for his band’s performance at the 1930 Cincinnati Automobile Show. In the third section of the march (known as the “trio”), you’ll hear a lovely lyrical melody from the horns, supported by the alto saxophones. Imagine this melody being played on an instrument that Mr. Fillmore created—the Klaxophone—which featured twelve Klaxon horns! Mr. Fillmore was an especially popular composer, who sold even more music because he used seven pseudonyms: Harold Bennett, Ray Hall, Harry Hartley, Al Hayes, Will Huff, Henrietta Moore, and Gus Beans.

Intermission Sacred Spaces 2020

Kirk O’Riordan

third performance

b. 1968

Stacy Maugans ALTO SAXOPHONE Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, Dr. Maugans, Windiana, and I had the privilege of commissioning Dr. Kirk O’Riordan to compose Sacred Spaces. The premiere took place on March 2, 2023, here in the Chapel of the Resurrection, with the composer in attendance. Prof. O’Riordan serves as director of bands at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, and holds the D.M.A. degree from Arizona State University. He is a long-time friend of Dr. Maugans. Here are Dr. O’Riordan’s notes on the Sacred Spaces: The piece is essentially a meditation on several well-known Christian hymns—in an empty cathedral, bathed in light from stained glass. The [band] is used primarily to replicate the reflective acoustical properties of such a space, as well as to provide a sense of power and grandeur. While Stacy’s original idea and our subsequent conversations on what the piece might be like had more or less fully developed the concept of the piece (indeed, much of the piece was composed already) before the unrest of 2020, looking back I feel like the person doing the meditating might very well have been motivated to do so by that unrest.

With that said, there is not a literal story here—one should not understand this piece as [a] direct attempt at creating a narrative. Rather, this is a collection of impressions, abstracted and expressionistic. The hymns are presented as memories, as ruminations; while recognizable, they are different, too…altered by time and by their own timelessness.

Where the Stormy Winds Blow 2022 fourth performance

Jesse Ayers b. 1951

Daniel Greco BARITONE AND NARRATOR Where the Stormy Winds Blow was commissioned by the Michigan City Municipal Band (MCMB), Michigan City, Indiana. The premiere took place on July 14, 2022, with Jeffrey Scott Doebler conducting, Richard AmRhein serving as vocalist and story-teller, and the composer in attendance. The MCMB has the privilege of commissioning a new composition each year, because of a special music projects endowment through the Unity Foundation of LaPorte County, thanks to the estate of Ruth Rohrabaugh (The Ted and Ruth Rohrabaugh Fund). This allows the MCMB to foster the creation of new music that is first enjoyed by audiences at the Guy Foreman Amphitheater in Michigan City, then with bands and audiences around the 5

FESTIVAL BAND CONCERT world. Where the Stormy Winds Blow features a narrator who recounts the tale through spoken word and singing. The composition is based on a true story that occurred on Lake Michigan in 1873. Daniel Greco’s narration will give you the details.

Following acknowledgement of the performers, we conclude with song and prayer

EVENING PRAYER This liturgy uses the chocolate-colored worship book Lutheran Service Book, abbreviated as LSB in this bulletin. References to “page” numbers are found in the front of the book (look for the smaller numbers at the top of each page) while references to “Hymn” numbers are found in the main section (look for larger numbers at the top of each page next to the hymn title).

How Great Thou Art 2023

arr. Dan Miller b. 1954 tr. Jerry Brubaker

Seth Carlson ORGAN This setting of How Great Thou Art was commissioned by Seth Carlson and the Westminster Christian High School Symphonic Band, Palmetto Bay, Florida, in loving memory of Christopher Bobson (2005–2023). The arrangement was created by church musician, composer, and conductor Dan Miller, then transcribed for band

by Jerry Brubaker. Mr. Brubaker is the president of the Association of Concert Bands, which is the national professional association representing adult concert bands. He is an accomplished composer, a professional horn player, and was a member of the US Navy Band for more than 30 years. During part of that time, Mr. Brubaker served the Navy Band as chief arranger. He earned his undergraduate degree from the Eastman School of Music. Here are Mr. Carlson’s notes on the work: Christopher Bobson was in his senior year at Westminster Christian School in Miami, Florida, when he was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident this past January. He was a beloved trombonist in Mr. Carlson’s band. How Great Thou Art was sung at Chris’s memorial service and was chosen as the hymn tune to be arranged for band by the Bobson Family and Mr. Carlson.

I am who I am because of LSM. Almost every day I reference something from LSM or rely on the experience and growth I gained at LSM. —LSM ALUM

Now is the perfect time to start planning for next summer! More students each day are enrolling early for LSM 2024, joining the long legacy of LSM students returning year after year.

To enroll early for LSM 2024 or nominate a new student who would thrive at LSM, contact MaryLynn Mennicke, Dean and Director of Admissions (admissions@lutheransummermusic.org; 612.879.9555 ext. 2).
