About Tonight’s Music New England Triptych (1956) WILLIAM SCHUMAN William Schuman wrote New England Triptych as a tribute to the music of William Billings, an early American composer. In subsequent years, he transcribed the music for band, greatly enlarging the score.

The first movement, Be Glad Then, America, highlights timpani and a two-part chordal counterpoint.

Typical of Billings’ music, it is noble and exciting. The second part of the triptych is a development of When Jesus Wept, a round by Billings. This movement contains a sacred theme that is particularly sensitive, beginning with low skin drums and a single cornet and euphonium. Chester, the third section, is based on a famous American Revolutionary hymn and marching song of the same name. It was practically the unofficial national anthem during the war. After the initial introduction of the hymn tune in the woodwinds and then brasses, Schuman presents the main melody in a wonderful contemporary setting.

Ice (2008) ELIZABETH KELLY “As a native Californian, Northeastern winters came as a shock to me. However, eventually I fell in love with the change of seasons and the different states of water that typify each season. The first movement of Ice, Prelude to Freezing, depicts the flowing water of fall before slowing down to freeze in the final moments. The pure electric guitar comes to the fore. In a cadenza of evolving timbres, the electric guitarist soars like a figure skater over the slowly shifting icy chords in the ensemble. Towards the end of the movement, there are hints of fissures in the ice as different instruments in the ensemble enter into a bluesy dialogue with the guitar. In the final movement, water bursts forth from these fissures as the distorted guitar and wind ensemble join for a springtime Meltdown March.” – Elizabeth Kelly

Ice was commissioned by the Robert G. Boehmler Foundation for premiere by the Eastman Wind Ensemble in January 2010. The piece was recognized with an honorable mention in the 2008 ASCAP/CBDNA Frederick Fennel competition.

Elizabeth A. Kelly, an alumna of the Yale Concert Band, has had her works commissioned and performed by diverse ensembles including the Ann Arbor Symphony, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, Janacek Philharmonic Orchestra, New York Youth Symphony, Netherlands Youth Orchestra, Albany Symphony Dogs of Desire, Liverpool Philharmonic Ensemble 10/10, ASKO Schoenberg, Aspen Contemporary Ensemble, and California EAR Unit. Her compositions have been performed at venues throughout the U.S. and Europe including Carnegie Hall and the Aspen, Bang on a Can Banglewood, Bowdoin, Brevard, Cabrillo, CCM Music03, Gaudeamus, Huddersfield, and Ostrava Days Festivals.

Her work has been recognized with two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards and honorable mentions in the ASCAP Frederick Fennell and Rudolf Nissim competitions. She won second prize at the 2009 Apeldoorn Young Composers Meeting Final Competition and 1st prize at the 2011 Young Masters XXI competition in the Netherlands.

Kelly (b. 1982) earned a Ph.D. in composition from the Eastman School of Music with the support of a Jacob Javits fellowship from the United States Department of Education and a Robert and Mary Sproull fellowship from the University of Rochester. She was awarded a Frank Beebe Fellowship

YALE CONCERT BAND for studies at The Hague Royal Conservatory, where she earned a Master’s degree. She holds an M.M. in composition from the University of Michigan School of Music, where she was awarded the Ellen Marin Memorial and full merit scholarships. Kelly completed her B.A. in music summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa at Yale. Her work has been supported by a MacDowell Colony Fellowship, published by Donemus and released by Huddersfield Contemporary and Centaur Records. She is an Assistant Professor of Music Composition and Theory at Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas.

Variations on “America” (1891) CHARLES IVES (Trans. William E. Rhodes) Charles Ives, the son of a Civil War bandmaster, is regarded as the first truly American composer of the twentieth century. Ives’ father encouraged his son to experiment with all kinds of music and acoustic sounds. A church organist at thirteen, Ives later entered Yale University and studied composition with Horatio Parker, but chose to become an insurance executive instead of a professional musician.

In his compositions, Ives employed techniques such as polytonality, atonality, polymetric patterns, tone clusters , and microtones. Subjects of these innovations were hymn tunes, patriotic melodies, and ragtime, mixed together in a style which is both imaginative and daring. Variations on “America” is a witty, irreverent piece for organ composed in 1891 when Ives was sixteen. According to Ives’ biographers, Henry and Sidney Cowell, Ives played this piece in organ recitals in Danbury, Connecticut and Brewster, New York in the same year. Variations on “America” is the earliest surviving piece using polytonality (melodies in more than one key simultaneously). William Schuman wrote the orchestral transcription in 1949, and William E. Rhodes wrote the concert band transcription in 1964.

Corpus Callosum (1999) THOMAS C. DUFFY Corpus Callosum was written for and dedicated to Colonel Jack H. Grogan on the occasion of his retirement from the United States Army Field Band. This short musical collage is constructed from snippets of the music Colonel Grogan would have worked with over the course of his musical career.

The musical excerpts fall into two categories, each of which roughly corresponds to one half of the human brain. The martial music represents discipline, order, drill, and precision, each of which reflects the quantitative qualities of the left hemisphere of the brain. The more lyrical musical excerpts represent nostalgia, humor, honor, duty and patriotic affection for country and state (in particular, Texas and Maryland), all attributes associated with the right hemisphere of the brain.

The corpus callosum is the nerve system that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.

Imagine, in this case, a conductor whose corpus callosum has been severed, creating a bilaterally independent conductor. Frequently, the hands are in different meters, for without the communication network between the brain’s hemispheres, each half of the conductor proceeds without respect to the other. The left hand shapes the nostalgic music in one meter while the right hand directs patriotic marches in another, creating a four-minute musical collage.

Miške (In the Forest) (1901) MIKALOJUS KONSTANTINAS ČIURLIONIS (arr. Ugnius Vaiginis) Artist and composer Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911) is an exceptional figure not only in the Lithuanian, but also in the European cultural tradition. Čiurlionis wrote around three hundred musical compositions, among them two large-scale symphonic poems, a cantata for choir and orchestra, works for choir, string quartet, organ and piano, in his decade-long musical career. His late compositions were considered ground-breaking and radical for his period. At the same time, Čirulionis earned even more recognition as an artist. In 1903, he devoted himself to painting, creating over three hundred paintings. In his later paintings, Čiurlionis created a unique blend of musical compositional principles and free treatment of elements of visual representation.

In 1900, while living in Warsaw, Čiurlionis entered a composition competition announced by Count M. Zamoisky and composed a full sketch of the symphonic poem, “In the Forest,” in eleven days. He orchestrated the work and submitted it to the judges in early spring of 1901. Even though the work received high praise from the judges, no prize was awarded. The first performance of “In the Forest” took place in 1912 in Saint Petersburg, one year after the composer’s untimely death. Composed in the tradition of late Romanticism, the work reveals one of the composer’s major sources of inspiration – his love for the old pine forest around Druskininkai, his childhood town. In a letter he wrote from Leipzig to his childhood friend, Petras Markievicz, Čiurlionis describes the opening lines of the poem: “I wonder if you remember anything from that composition? If I remember it correctly, I played for you excerpts, do you remember? It begins with soft, wide chords, reminding of the soft and wide rustling of our Lithuanian pines.”

In May 2013, the Yale Concert Band toured Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. While in Lithuania, the group had the opportunity to perform with Trimitas, the Lithuanian State Wind Instrument Orchestra, and its conductor Ugnius Vaiginis. After the tour, Mr. Duffy invited Mr. Vaiginis to guest conduct at Yale, and two years later, we are pleased to welcome Maestro Vaiginis to conduct his arrangement of Miške (In the Forest).

This first-ever adaptation of Miške (In the Forest) for wind orchestra, arranged by Ugnius Vaiginis in 2015, proves once again that even after more than a hundred years, the work inspires new approaches. Adapted to modern performing forces, this symphonic poem blossoms with new nuances and colors. Today, the piece will reach wider audiences and allow more musicians to delve into the magical world of Čiurlionis’ music.

Here’s to Good Old Yale (1896) CHARLES IVES Charles Ives (Yale Class of 1898) wrote Here’s to Good Old Yale during his first two years at Yale University. This unusually shaped quick march spins out a simple melody known as “Bingo,” a fight song that is still played and sung at Yale today.

Upcoming Yale Bands Performance • Sunday, May 17, 2015: Yale Concert Band Annual Twilight Concert. Celebratory music on the eve of Yale’s Commencement. 7:00 pm, outside on the Old Campus. Free.

Senior Reflections Liz Jones, BR ’15, Clarinet I had no plans to audition for YCB. As a freshman, I attended a Yale Bands information session because I wanted to play jazz. But Mr. Duffy had some words for us: “It never hurts to audition -- you can’t get in if you don’t try.”

Four years later, I can say that trying was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I was accepted to YCB on third clarinet, which I have played for the entirety of my time here. The thirds sit in the back row, mostly doubling other instruments and rarely being noticed (except when we do something wrong, of course).

Within a few months, I realized that I had been admitted to a special community. YCB travels the world together. We play countless concerts, inaugurations, processions, and benefits. We spend hours at lunch and dinner chittering about our repertoire; our instruments; our lives; our musical and nonmusical pasts, presents, and futures. The other day I was tallying the number of hours I must have spent with this group over the past four years. I’m not a math major, so I lost track pretty quickly, but it’s safe to say that those hours have been some of the most enjoyable and enriching of my college career.

As graduation approaches, I reflect on how thankful I am for the YCB, and how much it has shaped my experience at Yale. I can say with sincerity that I am humbled by the musicians who have become my best friends, and deeply gratified to have spent the past four years sitting in the back of the band with you.

David Molina, TD ’15, Piano In the four years I have played with the Yale Concert Band, two experiences stand out in my memory. The first was during a concert in our recent tour to Ghana: it was evening, an outdoor performance in the village of Yamoransa, and we were halfway through a subtly lyrical piece when the electricity suddenly went out. In the dark, visually divorced from the sheet music, the band didn’t falter for a second, continuing until those who were not playing in this number – myself, and some of the percussionists – lit the space with our phones. The lights, the music, the night sky, the audience – this was one of the most powerful collective musical experiences I’ve ever had. The second memory came later, in our first performance of my senior year. Then, I played my first and only piano concerto at Yale: Ballade for Piano and Winds, by Byron Adams. It was a great challenge, and a great honor, and allowed me to grow immensely as both a person and a musician. As my time at Yale winds to a close, I cannot thank Mr. Duffy and the Yale Concert Band enough for giving me a comfortable space to continue making music.

YALE CONCERT BAND

Alex Pappas, SM ’15, Alto Saxophone I am so proud to be a member of the Yale Concert Band. This amazing group of musicians has really become my family over the past four years.

We've traveled the world together! Our tour to the Baltics my sophomore year was my first experience abroad and I am elated that I got to share that adventure with the band. Touring old castles, trying to determine if the tourist shops were selling real amber or fakes, tying our shoes together into a massive knot on the boat tour, getting lost in the beautiful historic cities like Vilnius, eating dinner at 9 at night because the sun wouldn't really set and we had no idea what time it was, geocaching (with varying degrees of success), all the while humming the Overture to Candide, which was stuck in everyone's head.

Certainly we came back from tour with photos and stories, a closer band than before, but looking back I am really going to miss the more routine aspects of band life. I am going to miss BLunch (Band Lunch) in Commons, fighting over the delicious cookies at BDinner (Band Dinner) in the Slifka Center, Deadweek shenanigans, Mr. Duffy's anecdotes when the percussion are setting up, and of course making music with you all. Playing music with you all has meant the world to me, and thank you so much for letting me be a part of it.

Joohee Son, SY ’15, Piccolo The Yale Concert Band has been like a family to me in my four years at Yale. I have been a part of YCB since my freshman year, and through the band, I have had some incredible experiences. Musically, I got to play the loudest (or most annoying) instrument in the band, the piccolo. (Thanks to Mr. Duffy for letting me continue to play piccolo through my four years in YCB!) The band also took part in performances for commencement and inauguration – something that I couldn’t have imagined being a part of if it wasn’t for the band. The most exciting (and scary) musical experience was having the opportunity to play the famous piccolo solo from Stars and Stripes Forever with the West Point Army Band.

Besides music, band has given me the chance to become a global citizen through our tours to the Baltics and Ghana. We learned to not only “manage our expectations,” but also how to appreciate different cultures through its history and music. I will always remember staying up until the sun rose, watching the sunrise, playing in pitch darkness, and countless number of other memories.

I am very thankful for Mr. Duffy for letting me into the YCB my freshman year, Stephanie, for keeping all of us together and being the best manager, and all of the members of the YCB. Joining the band was the best decision I made at Yale. From our concerts to post-concert receptions to BDinner to tours and Mr. Duffy’s jokes, band has given me memories that I will cherish forever.

James Volz, SY ’15, Tuba I joined the band as soon as I arrived on campus my freshman year, so the only Yale organization I’ve been involved in for longer is my residential college. As a student, Saybrook has been my home. Saybrook is where I’ve met some of my closest friends, taken my meals, and retreated to recover my equilibrium after a difficult week. The band has been my musical home on campus; while I’ve worked with many other ensembles, each Tuesday and Thursday has been band day. Performing in the band has been a critical grounding force – it has helped set the tempo of college life.

Of course, the band has also changed my Yale experience. The postrehearsal dinners I’ve taken with band friends, the chamber groups we’ve started together, and the adventures we’ve had – like traveling to the Tuba Christmas celebration at Rockefeller Center – will stay with me.

Finally, my membership in the band has granted me the opportunity to do things at Yale I simply could not have done otherwise. I performed in Beinecke Plaza for the reinstatement of the Yale NROTC program. I walked the streets of New Haven with a sousaphone to celebrate President Salovey’s inauguration. I joined the Yale Symphony and the Yale Glee Club to perform Ive’s wild 4th Symphony. And, last December, I was 20 feet from stardom: I joined African mega-star Angelique Kidjo for an amazing concert in Woolsey Hall.

The band has made my Yale life so much richer: I’m grateful to my band mates, to Stephanie, and to Mr. Duffy for making it so.

About the Music Director Thomas C. Duffy (b. 1955) is Professor (Adjunct) of Music and Director of University Bands at Yale University, where he has worked since 1982. He has established himself as a composer, a conductor, a teacher, an administrator, and a leader. His interests and research range from non-tonal analysis to jazz, from wind band history to creativity and the brain. Under his direction, the Yale Bands have performed at conferences of the College Band Directors National Association and New England College Band Association; for club audiences at NYC’s Village Vanguard and Iridium, Ronnie Scotts’s (London), and the Belmont (Bermuda); performed as part of the inaugural ceremonies for President George H.W. Bush; and concertized in nineteen countries in the course of sixteen international tours.

Duffy produced a two-year lecture/performance series, Music and the Brain, with the Yale School of Medicine; and, with the Yale School of Nursing, developed a musical intervention to train nursing students to better hear and identify body sounds with the stethoscope. He combined his interests in music and science to create a genre of music for the bilateral conductor - in which a “split-brained conductor” must conduct a different meter in each hand, sharing downbeats. His compositions have introduced a generation of school musicians to aleatory, the integration of spoken/sung words and “body rhythms” with instrumental performance, and the pairing of music with political, social, historical and scientific themes. He has been awarded the Yale Tercentennial Medal for Composition, the Elm/ Ivy Award, the Yale School of Music Cultural Leadership Citation and certificates of appreciation by the United States Attorney’s Office for his Yale 4/Peace: Rap for Justice concerts – music programs designed for social impact by using the power of music to deliver a message of peace and justice to impressionable middle and high school students.

From 1996 to 2006, he served as associate, deputy and acting dean of the Yale School of Music. He has served as a member of the Fulbright National Selection Committee, the Tanglewood II Symposium planning committee, the Grammy Foundation Music Educators Award Screening Committee, and completed the MLE program at the Harvard University Institute for Management and Leadership in Education. He has served as: president of the Connecticut Composers Inc., the New England College Band Directors Association and the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA); editor of the CBDNA Journal, publicity chair for the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles; and chair of the Connecticut Music Educators Association’s Professional Affairs and Government Relations committees. For nine years, he represented music education in Yale’s Teacher Preparation Program. He is a member of American Bandmasters Association, American Composers Alliance, the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences, Connecticut Composers Incorporated, the Social Science Club, and BMI. Duffy has conducted ensembles all over the world and most recently was selected to conduct the 2011 NAFME National Honor Band in the Kennedy Center, Washington, D.C.
