Western/Northwestern Division Conference MARCH 21-24, 2018 SONOMA STATE UNIVERSITY WELCOME FROM ANDY COLLINSWORTH Welcome WELCOME FROM JUDY SAKAKI President Welcome to Sonoma State University!

We are honored to have you on our campus for the College Band Directors National Association Western/ Northwestern Division Conference. Our campus is one of twenty-three campuses in the California State University, the largest public university system in the country.

Andy Collinsworth, our Director of Bands and Music Education, and his team have worked diligently to make this 15th biennial conference a memorable experience for each of you. We are so pleased that nearly 100 college band directors and 500 students have traveled here from universities throughout the Western United States and British Columbia.

As you enjoy concerts from ten outstanding ensembles over the next four days, I hope that you will reflect anew on the value - some might say necessity- of music in our lives. Following the wildfires that devastated our North Bay region last fall, it was music in our Green Music Center that helped many in our community to heal and to be resilient. It was music that brought us together and lifted us up. We are now ready to rebuild our homes, lives and communities.

I hope this conference will enable you to learn, feel, experience and connect. Welcome and enjoy the conference!

With gratitude,

Judy K. Sakai, Ph.D. President

WELCOME FROM ANDY COLLINSWORTH Conference Host Greetings and welcome to the Sonoma State University’s Green Music Center for the 15th biennial CBDNA Western/Northwestern Divisions Conference. I am honored to host the conference and would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our previous hosts at the University of Nevada—Reno, Reed Chamberlin and A.G. “Mack” McGrannahan, for their longstanding commitment to making this conference a prestigious event.

Our biennial conference offers multiple rich opportunities to learn, grow, share and interact. Inspirational performances will be given in magnificent Weill Hall by nine outstanding ensembles from universities throughout the Western United States and British Columbia. The Intercollegiate Band, an enduring and significant component of the conference comprised of outstanding student musicians from two and four-year universities, will perform Saturday afternoon under the baton of Larry Gookin, Professor Emeritus from Central Washington University.

Likewise, we will be inspired by the many presenters who will share their expertise and insight on a variety of topics related to performance practice, repertoire, historical and social contexts, conducting and program development. We are pleased to welcome Allan McMurray, Distinguished Professor Emeritus from the University of Colorado who will lead sessions in rehearsal clinic techniques and conducting. Composer James Stephenson will be here to celebrate the premiere of his latest composition for our “Bridgeworks” commission and to share insights related to his craft.

Finally, I would like to thank the board members of the Western and Northwestern Divisions for their dedicated efforts toward presenting this conference, which has been two years in the making. I hope you enjoy the conference as well as your stay in California’s beautiful Wine Country.

Sincerely,

Andy Collinsworth, Conference Host Conference Schedule WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 2018 1:45pm - 2:45pm Shuttle Service from Doubletree and Oxford Suites Hotels to University

8:30am - 9:20am Session: Inspiring Passionate Ensemble Performance: Using Interdisciplinary Context as Externally Facing Artistic Practice David Vickerman San José State University and Colleen Sears, College of New Jersey Room 1057

In a recent keynote address to the 2017 New Music Gathering, percussionist and conductor Steven Schick advocated for what he calls “externally facing artistic practice,” a process by which musicians, educators, and artists situate their music making within the broad spectrum of the human experience in contemporary society. The presenters will describe how innovative, socially conscious programming and collaborations between a college wind ensemble conductor, a music education professor, and a high school band director involved band students in concert experiences that engaged both performers and audiences with contemporary social issues. These projects can serve as a model for music educators and students in our ensembles; showing how deep historical study and student-centered discussion enhance rehearsal practice and result in high quality performances and enduring, meaningful educational experiences for everyone involved.

9:00am - 5:00pm Midwest Sheet Music Open Weill Hall Lobby

9:30am - 10:20am Session: Building Bridges through Inter-Generational Music Melanie Brooks, Arizona State University Room 1058

This session will encourage music educators to build bridges across communities through the performance of new and innovative mixed-ability-level band and repertoire. In 2017-2018, twenty-two new compositions by local, national, and international composers have been commissioned for a collaboration between the Arizona State University large ensembles and students from the Harmony Project Phoenix, Brophy College Preparatory School, and the Niños de La Guadalupana Via Del Campo music school in Tijuana, Mexico. The compositions are 3-minute “mini concertos” that celebrate beginning-level soloists with an intermediate/advanced ensemble accompaniment. The mixed- ability-level concertos introduce a new niche of ensemble music into the market that engages musicians of all ages in community-building and collaboration projects. One such project is the “Building Bridges through Music” festival, which was held at Arizona State University on January 27. Information about the Building Bridges festival, participating composers and publishers, and audio/video recordings of the performances will be included in the session.

3:30pm - 4:20pm Session: Charles Mingus’ “Adagio ma Non Troppo” Patrick Brooks, Idaho State University Room 1057

Early in 1971 the iconic American jazz bassist, composer, and bandleader Charles Mingus was approached by Columbia Records with the suggestion that he record a new album of his compositions in arrangements for expanded studio orchestra. To arrange his 1963 composition “Myself When I Am Real,” Mingus hired New York composer, arranger, and trombonist Alan Raph. The resulting work was the renamed “Adagio ma Non Troppo,” a work some 8 ½ minutes long scored for a group of winds and percussion that closely resembles the instrumentation of the modern wind ensemble. (Mingus later referred to the recording of “Adagio ma non troppo” as one his favorites of his entire career.) Despite the critical success of the record, “Adagio” has never been performed since the recording session, and the original score and parts have been lost. This session will serve as an introduction to this unique work by an important American jazz artist and provide details about the background of this work and how it has now become available for modern performance.

8:30am - 9:20am Session: The Lost Work of Dick Kattenburg Troy Bennefield, Washington State University Room 1057

Over fifty-five composers were killed during the Holocaust. While musical life in the concentration camps is well-documented, no research exists that discusses the wind music composed by several of these victims. Eight composers wrote surviving music for wind bands or chamber winds, ranging from noted pieces in the repertoire by well- regarded composers to unfinished manuscripts by then-emerging young talents such as Dick Kattenburg. Dick Kattenburg (1919-1944) was only twenty-five when he was killed in Auschwitz but left behind a collection of thirty well-constructed pieces in many different styles, most of which were discovered just over a decade ago. He was an active composer, greatly influenced by French jazz idioms as well as the noted Dutch composer Leo Smit, who also was killed during the holocaust. Before their capture, Kattenburg and Smit continued their discussions on compositional technique through letters, one of which survived and will be briefly examined during this presentation. Kattenburg’s Divertimento for Five Winds, op. 7 was unfinished at the time of his death and is stored in the music holdings at the National Archives in The Hague. Although never fully composed as a finished work, the manuscripts contain enough music to compile and perform. Using these original manuscripts and hints from other works, this Divertimento has been engraved by the presenter and is scheduled for publication with Donemus in The Netherlands. Conference Schedule FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 2018 9:30am - 10:20am Session: The Lindeman-Sobel-Potts Approach to Artistic Wind Performance Robert Spittal, Gonzaga University Leo Potts, Professor of Saxophone Emeritus, CSU Long Beach Schroeder Hall

The session will explore the fundamental concepts of The Lindeman-Sobel-Potts Approach to Artistic Wind Performance, and demonstrate ways wind conductors effectively apply the concepts in rehearsal. The presentation will begin witha discussion between Spittal and Potts to reveal the fundamental tenets and concepts of the LSP approach, then lead to a demonstration in which Spittal rehearses a chamber ensemble while Mr. Potts critiques and applies methods from the LSP approach. The prospective outcome is for wind conductors to learn ways to apply some of LSP methods to improve the effectiveness of their own rehearsals. The LSP Approach was pioneered by Henry Lindeman (1902 –1961), an American woodwind player, and expanded by his student Phil Sobel (1917 –2008), who was first chair woodwind with the NBC staff orchestra, leader of the West Coast Saxophone Quartet, and a student of Henry Lindeman. Sobel’s student, Leo Potts is the leading proponent of the approach today.

10:30am - 11:20am Session: Expanding Repertoire Options for the Small School Program Anthony Rivera, Santa Clara University Room 1057

Small school directors often face numerous challenges that restrict the selection of repertoire performed. A common ground we all share as ensemble directors is looking for music that is technically and musically challenging, and help our ensembles sound full and vibrant, providing a rewarding experience for our players. Drawing on the tradition of the 18th and 19th century harmonie ensembles, this session will explore arrangements and instrument substitutions of the second minuet and trio of K. 361 ‘Gran Partita’ by Mozart and Gavotte from Richard Strauss Suite in B-flat, Op. 4. Also included are new arrangements of Mozart’s overtures to Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni, and a version of Die Zauberflöte for vocal soloist and wind instruments. These arrangements help expand repertoire when programming and are suitable for both small school and advanced wind ensembles. Scores and audio examples will be provided for audience members to peruse and hear and see the alterations made for performance.

1:00pm - 2:00pm Concert: University of Montana Symphonic Wind Ensemble James Smart, conductor Weill Hall

2:15pm - 3:15pm Concert: University of Nevada Wind Ensemble Reed Chamberlin, conductor Weill Hall

3:30pm - 5:45pm Rehearsal: Intercollegiate Band Larry Gookin, conductor Room 1028 Conference Schedule FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 2018 4:00pm - 5:30pm Session: Awakening the Artists in the High School Clinic Allan McMurray, Distinguished Professor Emeritus University of Colorado Amador Valley HS Wind Ensemble, Pleasanton, CA Jonathan Grantham, conductor Weill Hall

When walking into the high school band room there is an opportunity beyond recruiting, correcting, and being impressive. That goal is to awaken the combined humanity in the room to the power of listening and performing with expressive intent. It is to leave the rehearsal having shed a light on the path to artistry.

8:30am - 10:30am Session: Knowing the Score and Facing the Music Allan McMurray, Distinguished Professor Emeritus University of Colorado CSULB Bob Cole Conservatory Wind Symphony John Carnahan, conductor Room 1028

The teaching of conducting is the teaching of music leadership and collaboration from the inside out. It is only through informed intuition that gesture and movement can be created in the artist conductor.
