An American Elegy (2000)
Caleb Anderson • Thomas Baker-Trinity • Raynie Smith TRUMPETS
Remembering the lives lost at Columbine High School in 1999
In an effort to create a model list of artistic repertoire for the LSM Band, I avoid repeating compositions. The exception is An American Elegy by Frank Ticheli. We have performed this beautiful work in 2009 and 2019, on the tenth and twentieth anniversaries of the tragedy at Columbine High School, and now for the 25th anniversary. Of An American Elegy, Frank Ticheli wrote:
“An American Elegy is, above all, an expression of hope. It was composed in memory of those who lost their lives at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, and to honor the survivors. It is offered as a tribute to their great strength and courage in the face of a terrible tragedy. I hope the work can also serve as one reminder of how fragile and precious life is and how intimately connected we all are as human beings … three moods hope, serenity, and sadness become intertwined throughout the work, defining its complex expressive character.”
A native of Louisiana, Professor Ticheli holds the D.M.A. degree in composition from the University of Michigan. His principal teachers included William Albright, Leslie Bassett, William Bolcom, and George Wilson. Dr. Ticheli has recently retired from his position at the University of Southern California. He has earned countless awards for his compositions and is unique among composers with the ability to write equally well for educational purposes and at the highest artistic level.
Alleluia Tapestry (2016)
Michael Boo 1955–2020
I. “All Creatures of our God and King” (LASST UNS ERFREUEN)
II. “Hallelujah, Amen” from Judas Maccabeus (G. F. Handel)
III. “Hallelujah” Chorus from Messiah (G. F. Handel)
Celebrating the lives of Laurel Hahn and Michael Boo
Celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Chapel of the Resurrection
Celebrating the 165th anniversary of the founding of Valparaiso University
I’m honored to have my good friend Phil Hahn as the sponsor of my 2024 LSM studio (band and handbells). Phil is a graduate of Valparaiso University (’72, ’76), a retired music educator and church musician, and an active musician (horn, alphorn, alto horn, conductor) with several local ensembles. Phil, his late wife Laurel (’73, ’78), Michael Boo, and I all performed together in the Windiana Concert Band and the Valparaiso Community/University Concert Band (CUCB). Laurel and Michael played percussion, and Michael served as composer-in-residence for both bands.
(I’ve conducted the premieres of nearly 100 of Michael’s compositions, all around the world.)
After Laurel was diagnosed with cancer in 2016, Mike asked for her favorite hymn so that he could arrange it for the CUCB. Laurel chose All Creatures of Our God and King. She told Mike that she would love to hear some soaring “alleluias” in the Chapel. Mike wove together themes from “All Creatures of Our God and King”; “Hallelujah, Amen” from Judas Maccabeus; and the “Hallelujah” chorus from Messiah to create this magnificent Alleluia Tapestry. The title is especially appropriate, since Laurel as a long-arm quilter regularly created tapestries. The composition is also quite poignant, as Laurel died from cancer in 2018, and Michael died from cancer in 2020. Laurel said: “Mike and I hope that hearing this joyful music in our beautiful Chapel will raise the spirits of all who are dealing with cancer or other serious illness.” This composition was premiered by the combined Valparaiso Community/University Concert Band and Valparaiso University Luce Concert Band, joined by several Windiana members, at the 2016 Valparaiso University Julefest Concert. The recording of that premiere was played at Laurel’s funeral.
In 2024, we’re also celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Chapel of the Resurrection, and the 165th anniversary of the founding of Valparaiso University. Next summer we’ll be celebrating another milestone Valparaiso University’s 100 years as an independent Lutheran University.
Whistler’s
Katheryn Fenske b. 1964
The Whistler’s Grace was commissioned by Luther College Alumni and Friends, in memory of Frederick A. Nyline (1938–2022), who served as director of bands at Luther College from 1973–2011. (LSM faculty member Dr. Benjamin Yates and I had the privilege of having Mr. Nyline as our college band conductor.) Mr. Nyline also served as the LSM band conductor for ten summers. In my opinion, Maestro Nyline was LSM’s most important band conductor. He helped nurture the program from the very beginning, guiding the ensemble to a tradition of excellence. In those early years, Mr. Nyline sometimes spent the first two weeks of LSM preparing the
LSM band for other guest conductors, including the legendary Frederick Fennell. (I had the privilege of doing the same for Mr. Nyline in 1994.)
During the summer of 2023, Luther College held an alumni band concert to celebrate the life of Mr. Nyline. Alumna Katheryn Anderson Fenske (’86) was commissioned to compose The Whistler’s Grace for performance at the concert. Mrs. Fenske is an accomplished music educator in Missouri, a staff composer for Barnhouse Publishing, and served as principal clarinet in the Luther College Concert Band when she was a student. Mrs. Fenske told me that “with the beginning and end of the music, I tried to capture [Prof. Nyline’s] contagious joy the way he whistled when he was happy, which was almost all the time and the middle section is, of course, the table grace of the World Famous Luther College Concert Band, and [reminiscent of] the simple and pure grace that embodied the way that Mr. Nyline led his life and treated every person that he encountered.” I am grateful to Mrs. Fenske and to Andy Glover at Barnhouse for helping us secure a preprint of this composition (which has just now been released for publication).
hope is not a language the dark voices understand (2023)
Moriah Margaret Jensen b. 2000
Moriah Margaret Jensen is a music educator in Minnesota who graduated in December from Gustavus Adolphus College, a Lutheran liberal arts institution similar to Valparaiso University. The text from the title comes from singer/songwriter/storyteller Andrew Peterson. Ms. Jensen’s message in this composition is “that hope is a powerful thing … and that goodness always wins out.” The work is in three sections. The first part is serene and establishes the main theme. In the second section, there is chaos created by the “dark voices.” In the third section, hope overcomes the chaos, and we even hear the chimes imitating the joyous sound of church bells. As the composition gently comes to a close, we hear the piano playing Horatio Spafford (1828–1888) and Philip Bliss’s (1838–1876) famous hymn “It is Well,” also known as “When Peace, Like a River.”
Circuit Breaker (2021) Randall D. Standridge b. 1976
Seth Carlson ORGAN
According to composer Randall Standridge, Circuit Breaker “is intended to evoke the sounds of a video game soundtrack or digital movie score.” It’s a catchy number that gives us the opportunity to work within the asymmetrical meter of 10/8. Perhaps the most well-known example of the 10/8 meter is the theme from Mission: Impossible by Lalo Schifrin. We hear six eighth notes at the beginning of each measure, with four eighth notes at the end of each measure. The musicians have to think about counting the eighth notes in this way: 123, 123, 12, 12. One of my LSM goals each year is to help our students lose any fear of asymmetrical meter.
Composer Randall Standridge earned degrees from Arkansas State University. As owner of Randall Standridge Music and Grand Mesa Marching, he is a leader in music composition and marching band drill design. One of Mr. Standridge’s strengths as a composer is creating music that is exciting to play and hear, while also teaching important musical concepts.
We’re thankful that Student Life Director Seth Carlson is playing organ on the synthesizer part for this composition (and the organ part for Gilded Morning). Mr. Carlson is an important music teacher and church musician in Florida. He serves as organist at First United Methodist Church in Coral Gables, director of bands at Westminster Christian School in Palmetto Bay, and founder and conductor of the Miami Sousa Band. Mr. Carlson is a graduate of Valparaiso University and the University of Miami and is pursuing a doctoral degree in music education at Boston University.
Two liturgical settings from All Creation Sings, Setting 12 (2020)
I. Gospel Acclamation: “Nothing in All Creation”
II. Sanctus: “Holy, Holy, Holy”
Anne Krentz Organ b. 1960
Anne Krentz Organ is Director of Music Ministries at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in Park Ridge, Illinois. For LSM, she serves as Liturgical Composer in Residence. Mrs. Organ earned the B.M. degree from Valparaiso University, the M.M. degree from the University of Illinois, and the Certificate of Advanced Studies in Church Music from Concordia University-Chicago. She is a past president of the Association of Lutheran Church Musicians.
Mrs. Organ composed most of the music for liturgical Setting 12 in All Creation Sings, a hymnal of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. In 2024, for the annual Institute of Liturgical Studies (ILS) at Valparaiso University (a 75-year University tradition), Mrs. Organ arranged two parts of the liturgy Gospel Acclamation and Sanctus for performance by the Valparaiso University Chamber Concert Band. In a concert, we would not usually present music from the liturgy (especially without congregational singing), but this important music is a model for us. It is beautiful music and well-scored for concert band. It also demonstrates how the concert band can serve as a vital part of the worship service. (At Valparaiso University, the Luce Concert Band plays each year for Reformation Sunday worship and the Chamber Concert Band annually plays for worship on Easter Sunday and while on tour.)
The
1878–1956
Edwin Franko Goldman studied composition with Antonín Dvořák at the National Conservatory of Music, then went on to play trumpet in the Metropolitan Orchestra. In 1911, he founded The New York Military Band later known as The Goldman Band which became one of the most important concert bands in history. The Goldman Band performed a series of concerts each summer in Central
Park and played at fairs and expositions around the world. Mr. Goldman was a pioneer of new repertoire and was influential in encouraging skilled composers to write original works for band. Maestro Goldman was a prolific composer himself, with over 100 published marches and many miscellaneous pieces. Like John Philip Sousa, many of Mr. Goldman’s marches were patriotic. Several of these, including The Chimes of Liberty, were composed between the two World Wars.
There will be a fifteen-minute intermission. Accessible restrooms are located in the chapel narthex, and additional basement restrooms are available via the spiral staircase at the baptistry.
Bruce Atwell HORN
Paul Morton TRUMPET
Aaron Copland 1900–1990 tr. Donald Hunsberger 1932–2023
Aaron Copland was considered by many to be the “dean” of American composers, and the harmonies and melodies in his music are recognized as the sound of American classical music. One of his most haunting and beautiful compositions is the lyrical Quiet City. The work was originally composed as incidental music for the Irwin Shaw play of the same name. The story was about a man who pursued material success, but whose conscience was haunted back to reality by hearing improvisational-sounding trumpet calls, depicting the emotions of people throughout the city. The transcriber of this work was the late Donald Hunsberger, renowned conductor of the Eastman Wind Ensemble.
Quiet City allows us to showcase LSM faculty members Bruce Atwell on horn, and Paul Morton on trumpet. In 2011, we began our annual tradition of featuring LSM faculty with the LSM Band. Our primary goals are to give our students the opportunity to prepare and perform accompaniments with professional soloists, and to have the privilege of advancing as musicians by experiencing the artistry of those soloists in rehearsal and performance.
Festivo (1968) Václav Nelhýbel 1919–1996
Václav Nelhýbel was born in Czechoslovakia and studied organ and composition at the Prague Conservatory. He became an American citizen in 1962 and served as composer-in-residence at the University of Scranton. Festivo showcases percussion, brass, and woodwinds in lines that are sometimes horizontal and sometimes vertical. In the sections with thick chords, we can often hear an overlap, perhaps reflecting Mr. Nelhýbel’s experience as an organist. About the work, the composer wrote that:
“Festivo is an overture-type composition in which … the woodwinds and the brasses are constantly confronting each other like two antagonists in a dramatic scene. The resulting percussive concept of wind performance, which is prevalent in twentieth-century music, provides a striking impact for the performer and listener.”
Gilded Morning (2023)
Seth Carlson ORGAN
John Wasson b. 1956
Gilded Morning is the 36th commission of the Indiana Bandmasters Association (IBA). The commissioning project started in 1988 and is ongoing. Gilded Morning was written for and premiered by the 2023 IBA All-District High School Honor Bands. It is based on the hymn “When Morning Gilds the Skies.” Composer John Wasson is an accomplished composer, arranger, conductor, and trombonist who teaches at Texas A & M University Commerce. Mr. Wasson has composed for the Dallas Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, U.S. Air Force Bands, and countless others. His arrangement of Caravan was performed in the final scene of the film Whiplash. He has performed with the Dallas Brass, Woody Hermann, and Stan Kenton. Mr. Wasson studied at the University of North Texas. In composing this selection, Mr. Wasson explained that one of his goals “was to paint a musical depiction of the unfolding of a day and its various elements joining together to accomplish the task of ‘letting the Lord be praised’ in all things.”
Following acknowledgement of the performers, we conclude with song and 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 bottom of each page) while references to “Hymn” numbers are found in the main section (look for larger numbers at the top of each page).
abendmusik Peace Like a River (arr. 2009)
Peace Like a River is Robert W. Smith’s lovely lyrical setting of the famous spiritual. This arrangement is what I call a “sound piece”, because it gives us the privilege of demonstrating the beautiful blended sounds of the concert band.
Robert W. Smith was one of the band community’s most important composers and arrangers. He died unexpectedly this past September 21. (Coincidentally, I was serving as a guest conductor with Mr. Carlson and the Miami Sousa Band when we received the sad news.) Mr. Smith taught at Troy University in Alabama. He founded the music industry program there, and also served as director of bands for many years. Mr. Smith published over 600 compositions and arrangements at all levels. It is likely that any band musician in the last 30 years has played Mr. Smith’s music.

Any organization, including churches, family foundations, rotary clubs, etc., that contributes to a specific student’s tuition will be automatically recognized as a Young Musicians Partner.

VALPARAISO UNIVERSITY
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 2025, joining the long legacy of LSM students returning year after year.
To enroll early for LSM 2025 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).
