DISCLAIMER
Music has a unique power to connect us to emotion, memory, and shared human experience. The pieces in tonight’s performance were all inspired by personal or collective struggles with mental health — including themes of grief, suicide, addiction, depression, anxiety, and resilience. For many, music can be healing and affirming; for others, it can stir vulnerable or difficult feelings. Please know that strong emotional reactions — including sadness, discomfort, or being unexpectedly triggered — are normal and valid responses to these works. We invite you to care for yourself in whatever way you need during this performance — stepping out, taking a break, or simply sitting with whatever comes up. Additionally, mental health providers will be available during and after the concert if you would like support or someone to talk to.
Thank you for being here and engaging with this music and its message.
We are deeply grateful to Beau Seagraves, Associate Vice President for Student Wellbeing, for his generous support and partnership in making the Because of You Mental Health Concert possible.
His leadership and commitment to student well-being helped bring this vision to life and create a meaningful space for connection, reflection, and healing on our campus.

Uplift (2023) (7’)
Kevin Day (b.1996)
Commissioned by the Zeta Omicron and Epsilon Iota Chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma in celebration of their 50th anniversary of installment at the University of Akron, Uplift is an energetic and joy-filled band work inspired by the University of Akron’s motto “We Rise Together.” Written for Dr. Galen S. Karriker and the University of Akron Wind Symphony, this work deals with the idea of lifting each other up and helping each other to reach new heights. Rising together, to share the gift of music to humanity.

Stillwater (2019) (4’30”)
Kelijah Dunton (b.1999)
We as people forget sometimes that we are so much more deep and vast beneath our hard surfaces. We work, we go to school, we take care of our families, we deal with the struggles of the day-to-day routine militantly. But if we just take a moment to listen within ourselves, we discover our passions, our longings, and our sense of belonging.

The 12th Floor (2023) (4’45”)
Wayne Lu (b. 1970)
The title of this work stems from a tradition begun in 2017 at University of Iowa football games. Near the stadium is the Stead Family Children’s Hospital. At the end of the first quarter in football games, fans turn to the hospital and wave to children under care who are gathered on the 12th and other floors of the hospital. The gesture wishes the children well, and it is a salute to the children and their families that shows them they are not alone in their fight for recovery.

An American Elegy (1999) (11’)
Frank Ticheli (b. 1958)
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 a reminder of how fragile and precious life is and how intimately connected we all are as human beings.

Revelli Memorial Band Composition Contest for his Symphony No. 2. Ticheli received his doctoral and masters degrees in composition from The University of Michigan.
Watchman,
Tell us of the Night (1996) (15’)
Mark Camphouse (b. 1954)
A hymn for all children, Watchman, Tell Us of the Night portrays the loneliness, loss of innocence and yet enduring hope of the survivor of child abuse. The work is a musical tribute to survivors, often dreamlike in nature, as seen through the eyes of the child. With this work, Mr. Camphouse responds to the shockingly widespread national tragedy of child abuse. Victims often suffer lifelong effects mentally, physically, and socially. This shameful societal illness must be faced openly, honestly, and compassionately.
Program Note by the Composer

Vitality (2022/2023) (5’45”)
Gala Flagello (b.1994)
Vitality was written for the Aspen Conducting Academy 2022 orchestral readings and was inspired by a quote by Martha Graham: “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening, that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.” Graham begins in celebration of discovery and hope (the what), then reflects upon the process (the how), and closes with a warning (the why). The piece loosely follows this structure, musically exploring the prickly and potent glimmers of one’s life force alongside the uncertainty of self-expression and vulnerability.

I Am Enough (2022) (4’50”)
Marie
A. Douglas (b. 1987)
I Am Enough, written in 2022, the piece is centered around teen mental health and wellness with each movement telling the story of a fictional teen overcoming their struggles with anxiety/fear, adhd/sadness, respectively.
Elena - ADHD - sadness, grief
Soooo, my ballet instructor told mama that she has to reel me back in from time to time. She says I’m talented but sometimes I don’t pay attention, I “drift off”. I mean, I really like ballet class, especially when we have recitals, I love to perform, and I love to see my friends. I love my teachers. I guess I just want to learn different dances too. Sometimes I watch YouTube and listen to the songs my aunties play at our cookouts, from when they were kids in Mexico. It sounds like so much fun and it seems more natural for me. I am not going to lie, during our ballet warm up sessions I often get carried away dreaming of a class that teaches dances from Mexico.
Jace
x Anxiety – fear
My alarm clock woke me out of an angelic sleep. Who knows how many times I‘d hit snooze? “Oh no!… ”Am I late?”…”I can NOT be late again!!”…“I was doing so good being on time last month!”…“Principal Evans is going to be so disappointed!!!”…”Iiiiiii’m just going to stay home. No walk of shame for me!” …” OMG, it’s so hot suddenly….”….”Okay I have to calm down”. I closed my eyes and sank with my back to the wall, down to my plushy carpet and remembered the affirmations my great aunt taught me. I begin to say them aloud, “I Can Only Do So Much, It’s Okay to Cut Myself Some Slack. I Can Take Life At My Own Pace, I Don’t Have To Rush. My Mistakes Don’t Define Me, Everyone Makes Mistakes. I Am In Charge Of How I Feel And I Feel To Choose Happiness. I AM ENOUGH!” Calm washed over me eventually, like it always does. A few minutes passed and I realized I felt much better. I went to school late. The day wasn’t so bad. I showed up anyway. Did the opposite of what anxiety wanted. I won this time.

AMP (2016) (11’)
Scott McAllister (b.1969)
AMP was written “in memory of Brian,” who was a much beloved, talented, and accomplished student of the composer who died of a drug overdose. AMP begins with a wall of chaos representing the climax of an addicted episode. Then the first statement of “Brian’s” theme is stated in the clarinets with a two-note motive emulating the two syllables in his name while small cluster chords emulate the constant temptation of addiction. In fact, every time this two-note theme is heard one can readily imagine the emotions behind them. The middle section uses a famous chord progression from Radiohead’s Creep, which was one of Brian’s favorite songs. The second chaotic episode occurs again which is followed by the return of the earlier driving section and leads to the fullest and loudest statement of Brian’s theme using the optional organ part with the full ensemble. The composition ends solemnly with the solo piano (which was Brian’s instrument) stating the theme in its most plain form. AMP was not written for Brian only, but also for “any others suffering from addiction.”

Dum Spiro Spero (2010) (8’10”)
Chris Pilsner (b.1986)
Dum Spiro Spero takes its title from a Latin phrase meaning “While I breathe, I hope.” When I read that phrase for the first time, I was taken aback by the incredible amount of power it held and immediately knew it would be the basis for a new piece. When I started writing, my goal was to write something as deeply emotional and human as the title was. The result was a series of simple
melodies supported by some of the most colorful orchestration and harmonies I’ve ever written. From the lush opening, the gentle singing, and ultimately the triumphal climax, the human quality to the music is what I think gives Dum Spiro Spero a powerful sense of grace and splendor. Program Notes by the Composer

Chris holds a Master’s of Music in Composition at Central Michigan University, as well as a Bachelor of Music in Composition and of Music Education from the University of Northern Colorado. He previously studied under composers David Gillingham, Jay Batzner, and Paul Elwood. Pilsner is becoming a recognized name in the classical world. His music for orchestra, wind ensemble, and chamber ensembles has been acclaimed by audiences, performers, and conductors worldwide.
Love and Light (2020) (13’45”)
Brian Balmages (b. 1975)
Love and Light is in three sections. The first section asks the question “What does unconditional love sound like?” Not temporary love, but full-on unconditional love. Then the second question -- “What does it sound like when that unconditional love is shattered?” I intentionally use the word “shattered” instead of “broken,” because unconditional love is never broken. But events in our lives do come along that shatter our emotions and cause tremendous amounts of pain. What does that sound like?
And finally, the last and most difficult question. “What does it sound like when a child first sees the face of God?” I spent countless hours thinking about this, praying about it, and searching for the sounds that seemed to make sense of it all. The answer I came up with makes sense to me, and hopefully it will make sense to the listener as well. While there are massive moments, I realized it all began with a very intimate, personal and quiet encounter.
To Maddie — your mother used to play this song to you because you made her feel like the luckiest mom. Every time she plays it now, it will be in memory of you, her little angel in heaven.
