2 Northshore Concert Band

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 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 education. In addition, the Northshore Concert Band will present a concert for Westmont High School students next month.

Today we are hosting our sixth 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 15 here in Pick-Staiger.

Sincerely,

Laura Stibich Northshore Band Board Chair

5Winter Concert

Nitro — Frank Ticheli (b. 1958)Professor of Composition at the University of Southern California, Louisiana-born Frank Ticheli’s pieces for concert band have received numerous awards and are widely performed. His orchestral works have received performances from the symphony orchestras of Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, and Dallas, and in many other venues. According to the composer, “The main musical idea for Nitro is a powerful, angular theme, first announced by the trombones and horns, and then imitated in the trumpets. Trumpet fanfare calls and a busy and relentless chattering in the woodwinds enhance the bright, festive mood. The middle section is based on a woodwind theme that is partly fanfare-like, partly dance-like. This contrasting theme is built from intervals occurring in the natural overtone series (octave and twelfth), giving it an expansive, open-air quality. The main theme reappears, grow-ing in power and density all the while, building to a thunderous conclusion. An abrupt, explosive cadence ends the work.” Nitro was commissioned by the North-shore Concert Band, Mallory Thompson, music director, in celebration of their 50th anniversary season, and received its premier performance on April 9, 2006.

Echoes of the Hollow Square — Johnnie Vinson (b. 1944)Johnnie Vinson is Emeritus Director of Bands and Professor of Music at Auburn University. Prior to his 36-year career at Auburn, he taught in the public schools of Columbus, Georgia. He earned bachelor and master’s degrees in music from Auburn, and a Doctor of Arts degree in Music Theory from the University of Mis-sissippi. With over 400 published works, Dr. Vinson is an internationally recognized arranger/composer of music for band, and has served as an adjudicator and clini-cian throughout the United States and Canada. Among his many honors, he was elected to membership in the prestigious American Bandmasters Association in 1994, and is presently serving his third term on its Board of Directors.

Shape note singing is an early American tradition handed down from colonial times. The name comes from the simple musical notation in early songbooks which gave a distinctive shape (triangle, oval, square and diamond) to each of the notes so that one could tell instantly what pitch it was. Echoes of the Hollow Square (Suite of Shaped Note Tunes for Band) is still found today in a songbook called The Sacred Harp, and the original songs from this book were featured in the 2003 motion picture Cold Mountain. The piece was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Pelham High School Wind Ensemble of Pelham, Alabama, and was premiered on January 21, 2010, by that ensemble.

“The Morning Trumpet” explores the text “Oh when shall I see Jesus, /And reign with Him above, /And shall hear the trumpet sound in the morning?” through brass calls and woodwind responses, and “Hallelujah” provides a lyrical contrast from the inspiration of the lyrics where “We’ll all sing hallelujah, /When we arrive at home.” The final movement contrasts the defiant “Farewell, vain world! I’m going home! /My Savior smiles and bids me come, /And I don’t care to stay here long!” with “Hallelujah” with a celebratory “Streams of mercy, never ceasing,” from the Warrenton setting.

Finale from Symphony No. 2 — David Maslanka (b. 1943)David Maslanka, originally from Massachusetts, received his musical training at the Oberlin Conservatory, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, and Michigan State Uni-versity. Since 1990, after teaching for 20 years at various universities and colleges, he has devoted himself to full-time composition. Most of his extensive output has concentrated on music for winds and percussion, and his music is widely performed both here and abroad. Among his 40-plus works for wind ensemble and band are eight symphonies, twelve concertos, a Mass, and many concert pieces.

PROGR A M NOTES


Maslanka worked closely with Frederick Fennell and John Paynter at the begin-ning of his career, and credits them with his inspiration to write for winds. Sym-phony No.2 was commissioned by the Big Ten Band Directors Association and was premiered at the 1987 College Band Directors National Association convention at Northwestern University with John P. Paynter conducting.

Maslanka characterizes his composition style as using an “extreme use of register, subtle changes in orchestration, and simple melodic gestures developed over long spans of time. Rhythm plays a crucial role. The finale of this symphony, Maslanka acknowledges, is a “non-stop, high-powered affair, demanding a high level of playing precision and physical endurance from the performers.”

Carmen Suite — Georges Bizet (1838—1875)(arr. Graham Sheen)Georges Bizet’s musical gifts were evident early on, and he entered the Paris Con-servatoire at age nine. He rapidly developed as pianist and composer, and also discovered a knack for arranging other composers’ works. Bizet’s life developed a routine around the business side of the artistic life, including the eternal quest for opera engagements, courting directors, patrons and singers, offering compo-sitions to reluctant publishers, organizing and conducting occasional concerts, working as a rehearsal pianist and accompanist, and making transcriptions and arrangements of other composers’ works for money. Although his own composi-tions achieved no great financial success, among his peers he was recognized as the most notable of the younger generation of French composers.

Bizet wrote Carmen in 1875 and dealt with great hostility in having the music performed, with objections from orchestra and vocalists alike over the difficulty of the parts. Although Carmen ran for 48 performances, it was generally considered a failure, only gaining approval outside of Paris, and years after the composer’s death at the age of 36. The Carmen Suite uses the most familiar tunes from the op-era. The lively “Aragonaise” (prelude from Act IV), with its seductive Latin rhythms, accompanies scenes where the crowd gathers to watch the bull-fight, while the gypsy, Carmen, captivates Don José with the Cuban rhythms of the “Habañera”. The Intermezzo from Act III brings a break from Carmen’s fiery passions, and the Drag-ons D’Alcala is in a ‘toy’ military style that opens the second act. The suite closes with the famous March of the Toreadors.

Percy Grainger Collection — Percy Grainger (1882—1961)Percy Grainger (1882—1961) was a piano prodigy turned composer who was known for his strange personal habits, his colorful prose, and his equally unusual music – his many admirers today still recognize that he possessed “the supreme virtue of never being dull.” Born in Australia, he began studying piano at an early age, and he moved with his mother to England, quickly becoming a favored pianist in British society events. He came to the U. S. at the outbreak of World War I and enlisted as an Army bandsman, becoming an American citizen in 1919. He was one of the first to use an Edison wax cylinder recorder to capture the authen-tic cadences of British folk tunes, and reset them for band in his best known work for winds, Lincolnshire Posy. In addition to his idiosyncratic folk song settings, he was a lifelong advocate for the saxophone, and created “Free Music machines” which were devices that predated electronic synthesizers.

Critic Harold C. Schonberg called him “one of the eccentrics of music—a gangling figure with an aquiline face and a formidable mop of hair; a vegetarian; a health faddist; a man who likely as not would hike from concert to concert with a knap-sack on his back; and a whale of a pianist.”

PROGR A M NOTES (c o n t.)

Grainger confesses, “My title for Handel on the Strand was originally Clog Dance. But a dear friend suggested the alternate title, because the music seemed to reflect both Handel and English musical comedy (the ‘Strand’ being the home of London musical comedy). In a number of bars I have made use of matter from some variations of mine on Handel’s ‘Harmonious Blacksmith’ tune.”

The Irish Tune, better known by the lyrics that were added later as “O Danny Boy,” was arranged and scored for the military band in 1916. Grainger thanked, “Miss J. Ross, of New Town, Limavady, in the County of Londonderry. The name of the tune unfortunately was not ascertained by Miss Ross, who sent it to me with the simple remark that it was ‘very old’, in the correctness of which statement I have no hesitation in expressing my perfect concurrence.”

Written earlier in Grainger’s career, Shepherd’s Hey is based on one of the English Morris Dances, “The Keel Row”, that was collected from British folklorist Cecil Sharpe, and arranged for military band in 1914. The traditional air can still be found in the agricultural districts of England, where teams of “Morris Men” wear-ing jingling bells around their ankles, danced to tunes originally played on fife and drum or the fiddle, in community celebrations.

Invictus - Karl King (1891—1971)Self-taught as a musician and composer (four piano lessons and one in harmony constituted his only formal training), Karl King joined a circus band at 19. He was a master at writing music to match the rhythm of the acts and quickly rose to lead-ership positions in the most famous circus bands of the time, including Buffalo Bill and Barnum & Bailey. After World War I, he settled in Ft. Dodge, Iowa, where he operated a music publishing business and conducted the municipal band for the next 50 years. The group gained considerable renown in the Midwest as a popu-lar fixture at state and regional fairs, rodeos, and expositions. King was influential in establishing the Iowa Band Law, eventually adopted by 28 other states, which allowed cities to levy a small local tax “for the maintenance and employment of a band for musical purposes.” And then he wrote a march of the same name to commemorate the event! King was one of the first to write special music for the growing school band programs in America, and as a result was in wide demand as a massed band conductor and contest judge. He received many medals and awards during his long career, and with Sousa and Edwin Franko Goldman was made an Honorary Life President in the American Bandmasters Association.
