I

P R O G R A M

N O T E

n the Renaissance, laude were vernacular sacred songs. In L A U D A for

concert band, both vernacular and sacred aspects of school and students are respresented: The vernacular is represented by the driving sixteenth note

hi-hat figure in the opening, and the chord progressions, bass line, and

melodies — all reminiscent of pop music. The sacred facet of the piece deals with

transformation. The work opens in G minor and moves through an unsettled intro-

duction, a resolute A section, and a questioning B section, and on to a giant climax

on octave Ds throughout the ensemble. The section that follows transforms the B material, and serves as a dominant pedal leading to a shortened recapitulation of

all the previous material — in a joyous and triumphant transformation in G major.

The key to a successful performance of L auda is to sustain the energy of

the work for the entire performance. Tempo is key to the energy of the piece and should not dip below the indicated tempo. Faster tempos, as long as the woodwinds

can keep the sixteenth-note lines together, also work well. It is important not to lose energy at mm. 56 when the instrumentation pares down to marimba. Equally important is to enjoy the transformation when the original material returns in G major. A feeling of joy and elation should pervade the recapitulation.

C O M M I S S I O N I N G

I N F O R M AT I O N

L auda was commissioned by and written for my friend and colleague William

Whitney, and the musicians of the Bishop Guertin High School Concert Band.

They premiered the work in the spring of 2007. My first teaching position after

earning my undergraduate degree was as Director of Music at Bishop Guertin

High School, a private Catholic school run by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart in Nashua, New Hampshire. Two years after I left Bishop Guertin to pursue my master’s degree, my friend and Bishop Guertin’s new Director of Music, William Whitney, asked me to write a piece for the band.

The three years I spent at Bishop Guertin meant a great deal to me, so naturally

I wanted to write a piece that would represent the wonderful community and the natural exuberance of the students.

PRESERVING OUR MUSIC I T I S I M P O R TA N T T O P R E S E R V E O U R M U S I C A L H E R I TA G E F O R F U T U R E G E N E R AT I O N S

Acidic paper has been in widespread use since the turn of the century, and has become the bane of archivists, librarians, and others who seek to preserve knowledge intact, because it literally will self-destruct as it ages. Some paper, only three or four decades old, already has become impossible to handle — so brittle it crumbles to the touch. Surely we do not want today’s music to be unavailable to those who will inhabit the future. If the music of the Renaissance had not been written on vellum it could never have been preserved and we would not have it today, some four hundred years later. Let us give the same consideration to the musicians in our future.

It was with this thinking that Manhattan Beach Music in 1988 first addressed the needs of the archivist by printing all of its concert band music on acid-free paper that met the standards specified in the American National Standard for Information Sciences — Permanence of Paper for Printed Library Materials (ANSI Z39.48-1984).

The standard was revised on October 26, 1992 to include coated papers; all of our new editions and reprints of older editions meet this revised standard. With proper care and under proper environmental conditions, this paper should last for at least several hundred years.

Technical notes: Paper permanence is related to several factors: The acidity or alkalinity (pH) of the paper is perhaps the most critical criterion. Archival paper (also known as acid-free paper, alkaline paper, and permanent paper) is acid-free, has a pH between 7.5 and 10, is tear resistant, has an alkaline reserve equivalent to 2% calcium carbonate (to neutralize any acid that might arise from natural aging of the paper or from environmental pollution), and contains no unbleached pulp or groundwood (no more than 1% lignin by weight). The specific standards summarized here are set forth in detail by the National Information Standards Organization in American National Standard Z39.48-1992.
