WELCOME

Dear Audience Member:

Welcome to our annual Lifetime of Music concert!

Artistic Director Mallory Thompson and the Northshore Concert Band share the stage today with over 50 of the finest high school musicians in the Chicagoland area. This is more than twice the number of students who participated in our first Lifetime of Music initiative in 2003. This program, along with our annual Festival of Music here at Northwestern University, represents our commitment to music edu-cation. In addition, the Northshore Concert Band will present a concert for Lincoln Way West High School students next month and in April the band will join Marian Catholic High School students in a concert at Governors State University.

Today we are hosting our fifth annual silent auction. Proceeds from this auction will go directly to support our Lifetime of Music initiatives. There are number of great items on which to bid. We ask that you consider supporting the band, not only through today’s auction, but also by joining The Paynter Society, buying a CD, or bringing family and friends to our next performance.

We also ask that you patronize those businesses advertising in our program book. Income from the ads helps to pay our program printing costs which keep our ticket prices affordable and allows us to share our music with you in this fine performance hall.

Thank you for attending today’s concert. We hope that you enjoy the music and look forward to seeing you for our next series concert on April ere in Pick-Staiger.

ABOUT US

The Northshore Concert Band (NCB) is a 110-member adult symphonic band with membership drawn from the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Founded in 1956 by the late John P. Paynter, the ensemble has become internationally known and respected for its musical excellence, membership continuity, and service to music education. Dr. Mallory Thompson, director of bands and professor of con-ducting at Northwestern University, is NCB’s artistic director. Thompson is in great demand as a guest conductor and clinician throughout the United States and is widely regarded as one of the leading wind conductors in the nation.

NCB performs 10 to12 concerts a year in the Chicago metropolitan area, reaching over 20,000 people. These include a four-concert series at Northwestern Univer-sity’s Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, educational outreach programs at area schools, many summer concerts at the invitation of various communities and venues, and professional band festivals and conferences. Over the years, the group has worked with many renowned soloists and conductors, including Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, Frederick Fennell, Leroy Anderson, and dozens of musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, including Christopher Martin, John Bruce Yeh, Dale Clevenger, Adolph Herseth, and Mathieu Dufour. NCB has produced eight CDs and receives playtime on Chicago’s classical music station, WFMT, among others. The band has also toured in Canada and Europe and extensively throughout the United States.

NCB’s mission is deeply rooted in the concept of “community” and in encour-aging involvement in music for people at all stages of life. NCB strives to be a leader in performance, educational outreach, recorded works, and new com-missions, while reaffirming the heritage of bands in America. Several programs in NCB’s Lifetime of Music initiative help further the band’s educational mis-sion. NCB co-sponsors the Northshore Concert Band/Northwestern University Festival, which annually provides 4,000 Chicago area young musicians the opportunity to perform solos and ensembles, with NCB members serving as judges and clinicians. The band also awards its John P. Paynter Scholarship to an outstanding young musician and invites dozens of talented high school students to perform with the band at the Winter Concert to help encourage young people to pursue their musical endeavors after graduation.

The ensemble’s musicians come from throughout the Chicago area, northern Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, and represent many professional backgrounds. Approximately half are professional music educators; the rest have a diverse set of occupations including business executives, attorneys, and physicians. Musicians range in age from 20 to 85, many with a tenure of two decades or more with the ensemble. All of the musicians are selected by audition and are strongly commit-ted to volunteering their time and talents to the group.

NCB has sponsored three adult band conferences and has published a guide to organizing community bands. The guide has been used by hundreds of commu-nity bands over the past 20 years. These community band resources are available for download on our website, www.northshoreband.org

PROGR A M NOTES

Marche Joyeuse — Emmanuel Chabrier (1841-1894) (arr. by Fred Junkin)Born in the Auvergne, Emmanuel Chabrier was the son and grandson of lawyers. Even though he showed musical talent at an early age, his family insisted on a career in law. This training led to his appointment in 1863 as a clerk in the Ministry of the Interior where he worked for the next 17 years. During this time, however, he began to compose, indulged his passion for French art, developed a reputation as a boulevardier on the Paris scene, hobnobbing with artists, poets, and musicians, and was recognized for his unique piano playing. A friend described, “The sight of Chabrier, in a drawing-room full of elegant women, advancing towards the fragile instrument and then playing in a blaze of broken strings, hammers reduced to pulp and splintered keys, was a spectacle of truly epic grandeur.” However, in 1879, after hearing Tristan und Isolde, “...He was the victim of such strong emotion that in spite of his natural gaiety, he left us after the performance to shut himself up in his room. At that time, he was not intending to commit himself entirely to music; Tristan showed him where his vocation lay.” Shortly afterwards, Chabrier left the Ministry to devote himself exclusively to music. Four years later, España was performed for the first time; and its success made Chabrier famous overnight. In general, Chabrier’s music was inspired by broad humor, a sense of caricature, and by performances of popular songs in Paris nightclubs. A review of the first Paris performance in 1888 of Marche Joyeuse for the original orchestral setting described the piece as, “the high-spot of the evening; impossible to have more verve, more gaiety and life.”

Lincolnshire Posy — Percy Grainger (1882-1961) (full score ed. assembled by Frederick Fennell)Born in Australia, Percy Grainger, after moving to England, became a gifted concert pianist of international stature. He came to America in 1915 and served as a musician in the U.S. Army during World War I. In 1919 he became a U.S. citizen and America be-

came his home for the rest of his life. In 1937 the American Bandmasters Association commissioned Lincolnshire Posy, based on folk songs Grainger and Lucy Broadwood collected thirty years before. The composer wrote, “This bunch of ‘musical wildflowers’ ... is dedicated to the old folksingers who sang so sweetly to me. Indeed, each number is intended to be a kind of musical portrait of the singer who sang its underlying melo-dy.” As an example, “...the first number in my set, Lisbon, was collected under character-istic circumstances. In 1905, when I first met its singer — Mr. Deane, of Hibbaldstowe — he was in the workhouse at Brigg, N.E. Lincolnshire. I started to note down his Lisbon, but the workhouse matron asked me to stop, as Mr. Deane’s heart was very weak and the singing of the old song — which he had not sung for forty years — brought back poignant memories to him and made him burst into tears. I reluctantly desisted. But a year or so later, when I had acquired a phonograph, I returned to get Mr. Deane’s tune ‘alive or dead’. I found him in the hospital ward of the workhouse, with a great gash in his head — he having fallen down stairs. He was very proud of his wound, and insisted that he was far too weak to sing. ‘All right, Mr. Deane,’ I said to him, ‘you needn’t sing yourself; but I would like you to hear some recordings made by other singers in these parts.’ He had not heard half a record through before he said, impulsively: ‘I’ll sing for you, yoong mahn.’ So the phonograph was propped up on his bed, and in between the second and third verse he spoke these words into the record: ‘It’s pleasein’ muh.’ Which shows how very much folksinging is part of the folksinger’s natural life.” Frederick Fen-nell, who knew Grainger, and conducted several excellent recordings of the piece, has commented, “Many of the freedoms he so admired in the original folk singing could not be transcribed in easy meters, obliging him to score his compositions from them in equally free and/or complex translations in terms of traditional band notation....move-ments 2, 3 and 5 ..... were unique, extraordinary - far out!”

7 Petites Pièces pour 8 Instruments — Francis Chagrin (1905-1972)Francis Chagrin described himself as “Rumanian by birth, British by nationality and cosmopolitan by inclination.” Expected by his parents to join the family business, he took an engineering degree while secretly studying at a music conservatory. Moving to Paris, he made his own way by playing piano in night clubs and cafes and writ-ing popular songs and film scores. Later he settled permanently in Britain. With the outbreak of war, he was appointed musical adviser and composer-in-chief to the BBC French Service, for which he was later decorated by the French Government. He spoke elegant and fluent French, and was often taken for a Frenchman. In addition, he spoke perfect English (albeit with a French accent), was fluent in Rumanian and German, and knew much Italian and Spanish. His concert music ranges over most genres. In the orchestral field, there are two completed symphonies, a piano concerto, a Prelude and Fugue, and a Rumanian Fantasy (for harmonica). In addition there is much chamber music, including Sept Petite Pièces pour 8 Instruments composed in 1966, and songs in English and French. The sheer volume of commercial work is staggering, including 200 films, television episodes (including a Dr. Who in 1964), and many commercials. His friends remember him as incredibly industrious, but selfless, resourceful, urbane and with a great generosity of heart, ‘always able to see the lighter aspect of serious effort.’

English Dances, Op. 27 — Malcolm Arnold (1921-2006) (arr. for band by Maurice Johnstone)Sir Malcolm Arnold’s early musical influences came from his mother, a fine amateur pianist, and, later, from writing and improvising jazz with his brother and friends. He took up the trumpet at age 12, much influenced by hearing Louis Armstrong. At 21 he became the youngest ever principal trumpet in the London Philharmonic. But after 1947, when he won a scholarship for composition, Arnold became a full-time composer. His remarkable catalogue contains nine symphonies, seven ballets, two operas, one musical, two string quartets, and music for brass-band and wind-band. His output of over twenty concertos for a great variety of instruments won particular admiration from orchestral players; as an ex-performer he was adept at writing for solo instruments and well knew what could and could not be demanded. He also wrote 132 film scores, including “Bridge on the River Kwai” for which he received an Oscar. The

PROGR A M NOTES (c o n t.)


PROGR A M NOTES (c o n t.)

Four English Dances, written in 1950, feature bell tones in several of the movements. The church bells in the towns and cities of England are often tuned to the notes of the diatonic scale (i.e., the notes of the white keys of a piano), and this scale is used extensively by Arnold, who believed in its “eternal value.” Bell tones that seem to signal the start of festivities in a village town introduce the opening Vivace. The following Andantino begins quietly to 4-part chords played by the French horns and a melody introduced by the oboe. Mesto, the third movement, translates as sad or mournful. The driving final movement, Allegro risoluto, is characterized by a determined rhythm in the brass with ornamentation from the woodwinds.

El Capitan — John Philip Sousa (1854 -1932) (arr. Brion /Schissel)John Philip Sousa’s father, a trombonist in the U.S. Marine Band, started his son’s musical education at age six, with instruction in singing, violin, piano, flute, and several brass instruments. About to run off with a circus band when he was 13, his father enlisted him as an apprentice musician in the Marine Band. Through the next seven years, he played with the Band while “moonlighting” as violinist with theater orchestras. Sousa then left the Marines, and worked in Washington and Philadelphia as a theater violinist, conductor, arranger, and a member of a string quartet. By 1880, his fame as a conductor, composer, and arranger had been established, and he was appointed leader of the Marine Band. In 1892 he again resigned from the Marine Corps, this time to form his own civilian band. Sousa’s Band became a unique musical ensemble, presenting over 15,200 concerts while touring the North American continent each year from 1892 until the Great Depression, as well as making four European tours and one world tour. The operetta El Capitan (1896) marked Sousa’s return to the theater, a triumphant rejoining of that natural combination. The El Capitan March —- like all the marches that preceded it — is just a little different, though positively out of the same Sousa march mold.
