Flying Jewels (2021)
(10’35”)
PROGRAM NOTES
James M. David (b. 1978)
Flying Jewels is a symphonic poem for wind ensemble that attempts to capture the joyous and hopeful spirit of a famous essay Joyas Voladoras by the late author Brian Doyle (1956-2017). The essay asserts the connection that all people and creatures share; we all have one heart that carries us through life’s struggles, victories, and simple pleasures. My composition deals with the themes of Doyle’s essay by depicting the heart rhythms of different creatures through various metric/ tempo modulations and relationships.
First is the hummingbird, flitting about with bright flourishes from woodwinds and metallic percussion at superhuman speeds. A reptile’s three-chambered heart is heard next with nods to the triple-meter dances of the Caribbean. At the center of the work is the human heart, which is a simple tune that slowly builds to a cadence at the heart rate of a blue whale: four giant chords that resound under the ocean depths. Finally, the work recapitulates each idea while gaining speed to combine all of the tempi in an exuberant and ecstatic finale.
This work was commissioned by the United States Air Force Band, Washington, D.C., Col. Don Schofield, commander and conductor.
Program Note by the Composer
James M. David is an American composer and professor of music theory and composition at Colorado State University. As a native of southern Georgia, David began his musical training under his father Joe A. David, III, a renowned high school band director and professor of music education in the region. This lineage can be heard in his music through the strong influence of jazz and other Southern traditional music mixed with contemporary idioms. David received degrees in music education and music composition from the University of Georgia and the Florida State University College of Music. He studied composition with Guggenheim recipient Ladislav Kubik and Pulitzer recipient Ellen Taaffe Zwilich as well as jazz composition and arranging with Sammy Nestico.
O Magnum Mysterium (1994) (5’30”)
Morten Lauridsen (b. 1943)
O Magnum Mysterium, commissioned by Marshall Rutter in honor of his wife, Terry Knowles, has had several thousand performances throughout the world and dozens of recordings since its 1994 premiere by the Los Angeles Master Chorale. I have also arranged the work for solo voice and piano or organ (recorded on Northwest Journey by Jane Thorngren accompanied by the composer), men’s chorus and brass ensemble; H. Robert Reynolds’s stunning adaptation for symphonic winds was recently premiered in Minneapolis by the Thornton Wind Symphony.
For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text depicting the birth of the new-born King amongst the lowly animals and shepherds. This affirmation of God’s grace to the meek and the adoration of the Blessed Virgin are celebrated in my setting through a quiet song of profound inner joy.
Program Note by the Composer
Morten Lauridsen is an American composer of Danish ancestry. He grew up in Portland, Oregon, and attended Whitman College and the University of Southern California, where he studied advanced composition. Among his early teachers were Ingolf Dahl, Halsey Stevens, Robert Linn, and Harold
Owen. Lauridsen is most noted for his six vocal cycles — Les Chansons des Roses, Madrigali, MidWinter Songs, Cuatro Canciones, A Winter Come, and Lux Aeterna — and his series of a cappella motets, which are regularly performed by distinguished ensembles and vocal artists throughout the world. A compact disc of his compositions, entitled Lauridsen - Lux Aeterna (which includes a recording of O Magnum Mysterium by the Los Angeles Master Choral conducted by Paul Salamunovich) was nominated for a Grammy award in 1998. His Dirait-on and O Magnum Mysterium are the all-time best selling choral octavos distributed by Theodore Presser Company, which has been in business since 1783.
Pageant (1953) (7’45”)
Vincent Persichetti (1915-1987)
Pageant, op. 59 (1953) is the composer’s third work for band, commissioned by Edwin Franko Goldman for performance at the nineteenth annual convention of the American Bandmasters Association. The premiere was on March 7, 1953, by the University of Miami Band with Persichetti conducting.
The composer’s manuscript sketches show that Persichetti had originally intended to title the work Morning Music for Band -- the opening horn motive and the first theme in the clarinet choir have a serene, pastoral quality that evokes thoughts of sunrise. The opening horn call provides the motivic basis for the rest of the work, germinating long phrases supported by chordal harmonies. The phrases are passed around amongst various small choirs of instruments, exploiting the plethora of timbral and textural combinations possible in an ensemble of wind and percussion instruments. The tonal centers shift as often as the instrumentation, landing on a B-flat major chord that transitions into the second part of the work, the “parade.” In the Allegro second section, the snare drum provides a rhythmic version of the melodic material to follow. This section utilizes polytonality with multiple key centers existing in the music at the same time.
There have been few more universally admired twentieth-century American composers than Vincent Persichetti. His contributions have enriched the entire musical literature, and his influence as performer and teacher is immeasurable. Born in Philadelphia in 1915, Persichetti began his musical life at age five, first studying piano, then organ, double bass, tuba, theory, and composition. By the age of eleven, he was paying for his own musical education by performing professionally as an accompanist, radio staff pianist, orchestra member, and church organist. By the age of twenty, he was simultaneously head of the Theory and Composition departments at Combs College, a conducting major with Fritz Reiner at the Curtis Institute, and piano major with Olga Samaroff at the Philadelphia Conservatory, all while continuing his studies as a student at Combs College. He joined the faculty at the Juilliard School in 1947 where he remained until his death in 1978. Though he remained a lifelong resident of Philadelphia, he commuted to New York City every day with an easel on his steering wheel, so he could compose while stuck in traffic.
Haunted Hills (Part 1) (1950) (6’45”)
Margaret Sutherland (b. 1897-1984)
Margaret Sutherland was inspired by the establishment of state orchestras around Australia to return to composing symphonic works, preferring the ‘symphonic poem’ format of Haunted Hills to actual symphonies. The “haunted hills” of the title are the Dandenong Ranges, lying on the eastern outskirts of Melbourne. The intention was to create “a sound picture written in contemplation of the first people who roamed the hills, their bewilderment and their betrayal.” Mountains were considered to be the home of ancient spirits by the traditional owners of the area, the Wurundjeri–Woi Wurrung and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation; however, white settlement and clearance of the fertile lands at the foot of the mountains forced them to seek sanctuary in the more densely forested slopes.
Margaret Sutherland is regarded as one of Australia’s most significant twentieth-century composers and a pioneer of modernist style. After early studies in Melbourne, she trained in England with Gustav Holst and Ralph Vaughan Williams before returning to Australia where her career was interrupted by marriage and family life. Resuming her work in the late 1940s, she produced a substantial body of orchestral, chamber, and vocal music. Beyond composition, Sutherland was a tireless advocate for Australian music and central to the creation of Melbourne’s Southbank arts precinct, now home to many of the city’s leading cultural institutions.
Deciduous (2022) (8’05”)
Viet Cuong (b. 1990)
For a long time after my father passed away, I felt like I had “lost my leaves.” In the way that leaves harness light to create energy for trees and plants, I felt like I had so little left to harness creatively. Many days I feared those leaves would never grow back. After struggling for months to write, I finally found some healing while creating Deciduous. This involved revisiting chord progressions that brought me solace as a child and activating them in textures that I have enjoyed exploring as an adult. The piece cycles through these chord progressions, building to a moment where it’s stripped of everything and must find a way to renew itself. While I continue to struggle with this loss, I have come to understand that healing is not as much of a linear process as it is a cyclical journey, where, without fail, every leafless winter is followed by a spring.
Thank you to the Florida Bandmasters Association for commissioning Deciduous in 2023.
Program Note by the Composer
Viet Cuong holds the Curtis Institute of Music’s Daniel W. Dietrich II Composition Fellowship as an Artist Diploma student of David Ludwig and Jennifer Higdon. Viet received his MFA from Princeton University as a Naumburg and Roger Sessions Fellow, and he finished his Ph.D. there in 2021. At Princeton he studied with Steven Mackey, Donnacha Dennehy, Dan Trueman, Dmitri Tymoczko, Paul Lansky, and Louis Andriessen. Viet holds Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University, where he studied with Pulitzer Prizewinner Kevin Puts and Oscar Bettison. While at Peabody, Viet received the Peabody Alumni Award (the Valedictorian honor) and the Gustav Klemm Award for excellence in composition. Viet is a member of BMI, the American Composers Forum, and the Blue Dot Collective, a group of composers who focus on writing adventurous new music for wind band. In 2020-2021, he was composer-inresidence at Kennesaw State University, Georgia. In 2024, he became one of the youngest members ever to be elected to the prestigious American Bandmasters Association.
PROGRAM NOTES
Blue Shades (1997) (10’30”)
Frank Ticheli (b. 1958)
In 1992 I composed a concerto for traditional jazz band and orchestra, Playing with Fire, for the Jim Cullum Jazz Band and the San Antonio Symphony. I experienced tremendous joy during the creation of Playing with Fire, and my love for early jazz is expressed in every bar of the concerto. However, after completing it, I knew that the traditional jazz influences dominated the work, leaving little room for my own musical voice to come through. I felt a strong need to compose another work, one that would combine my love of early jazz with my own musical style.
Four years, and several compositions later, I finally took the opportunity to realize that need by composing Blue Shades. As its title suggests, the work alludes to the blues, and a jazz feeling is prevalent -- however, it is not literally a blues piece. There is not a single 12-bar blues progression to be found, and except for a few isolated sections, the eighth-note is not swung.
The work, however, is heavily influenced by the blues: “Blue notes” (flatted 3rds, 5ths, and 7ths) are used constantly; blues harmonies, rhythms, and melodic idioms pervade the work; and many “shades of blue” are depicted, from bright blue, to dark, to dirty, to hot blue.
At times, Blue Shades burlesques some of the clichés from the Big Band era, not as a mockery of those conventions, but as a tribute. A slow and quiet middle section recalls the atmosphere of a dark, smoky blues haunt. An extended clarinet solo played near the end recalls Benny Goodman’s hot playing style, and ushers in a series of “wailing” brass chords recalling the train whistle effects commonly used during that era.
Blue Shades was commissioned by a consortium of thirty university, community, and high school concert bands under the auspices of the Worldwide Concurrent Premieres and Commissioning Fund.
Program Note by the Composer
Frank Ticheli joined the faculty of the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music in 1991, where he served as Professor of Composition until 2023. From 1991 to 1998, Ticheli was Composer in Residence of the Pacific Symphony, and he still enjoys a close working relationship with that orchestra and their music director, Carl St. Clair. Ticheli is well known for his works for concert band, many of which have become standards in the repertoire. In addition to composing, he has appeared as guest conductor of his music at Carnegie Hall, at many American universities and music festivals, and in cities throughout the world, including Schladming, Austria, at the Mid-Europe Music Festival; London and Manchester, England, with the Meadows Wind Ensemble; Singapore, with the Singapore Armed Forces Central Band; and numerous cities in Japan, with the Bands of America National Honor Band.
