Program Notes Night Ride of the Cossacks combines two Russian folksongs, “Cossack Lullaby” and “Cossack Patrol” (also known as “Meadowlands”), to portray the drama and excitement of the horsemen known as the Cossacks. These famous mounted communities lived in Ukraine and Southern Russia and were known for their bravery, colorful dress and skill as horsemen. The name “Cossack” is thought to refer to a people who were outside of society and therefore made their homes on the remote steppes of Russia.

Escape from the Deep tells the true story of the U.S. Navy submarine Tang and the events that took place in October 1944. Tang was a legendary sub, having sunk more enemy ships, rescued more downed airmen and successfully executed more dangerous surface attacks than any other Allied submarine in the Pacific. It was on its fifth patrol when disaster struck.

Tang fired what would be its last torpedo. The torpedo began on target, but suddenly malfunctioned and turned back toward the Tang. Ultimately, it hit with incredible force. Those who survived the blast sunk to the bottom of the ocean 180 feet beneath the surface, while enemies dropped depth charges from above.

Five men were able to make the daring ascent through the escape trunk, which entailed climbing into a small space and flooding it with water to equal the outside pressure. They were joined by four other men who were thrown from the bridge and managed to tread water for over eight hours. It is a story of triumph amidst incredible tragedy.

Reese’s Summer Day from the composer: “Part of my life’s journey as a composer has included the “Children’s Dances”, and now, in the past several years, it has become rather necessary that I move on to the next generation. In 2005, I wrote ‘Kaylen Dreaming’ for my first granddaughter, and now it’s time for several more movements to be added to the ‘Grandkid Suite’.

My second grand daughter is Jacquelyn Reese and she is, above all other things, a ‘girlie’ girl! Her world is a fancy, dancy Princess place and dress up is just the normal way of life. Her days are full of family and school friends, doting adults, and just a bit of drama with her little brother to make it the perfect recipe for one super summer day after another.”
