TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME!!! PROGRAM NOTES

ANCHOR BAY BAND BOOSTERS Choral and Shaker Dance ST 1 ANNUAL BASEBALL OUTING The title, Chorale and Shaker Dance, refers to the principal sections of the composition, the opening chorale, and the set of variations on the Shaker hymn, Tis a Gift to be Simple. Written in 1972, it was commissioned by the Jefferson High School Band of Bloomington, Minnesota. The Premiere took place at the National MENC DETROIT TIGERS convention in 1972. Composed in theme and variation form, the sectional structure is straightforward, making it a good introduction to variation form for any ensemble. Zdechlik’s love of jazz is shown in the contrapuntal intricacies and use of syncopated rhythms typical of big bands. It is nine minutes in duration, and the complexity makes it vs. moderately challenging for high school and some college bands. The composition could probably be viewed as a companion to Dance Variations, another work for band set entirely in variation form.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX John Zdechlik is a trumpeter whose music education began in the public schools of Minnesota. Since high school, he has had an interest in jazz, both as a performer and as a composer. He received the Bachelor of Music Education from the university of Minnesota in 1957. After a few years as a music teacher, Zdechlik returned to the University of Minnesota, where he received the master’s degree in theory and WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2008 composition. He was a faculty member both during and after his graduate work, but decided to pursue a Ph.D. in composition and theory, which he completed in 1970. He then accepted a position at Lakewood Community College, where today he is Chair of the Department of Music and Band Director. Zdechlik is best known as a composer of COST: $40 per person before Thursday, May 8, 2008 music suitable for school bands, with Chorale and Shaker Dance his most famous work. Other well known compositions by Zdechlik include Faces of Kum Ba Yah, Lyric Statement, Psalm 46, and Dance Variations. He is best known for composing in theme PRICE INCLUDES: and variation form.
