Mcallister Interview Transcription
Interview with Timothy McAllister: Gershwin, Adams, and the Orchestral Saxophone with Lisa Keeney Extended Interview In September 2016, the University of Michigan’s University Symphony Orchestra (USO) performed a concert program with the works of two major American composers: John Adams and George Gershwin. The USO premiered both the new edition of Concerto in F and the Unabridged Edition of An American in Paris created by the UM Gershwin Initiative. This program also featured Adams’ The Chairman Dances and his Saxophone Concerto with soloist Timothy McAllister, for whom the concerto was written. This interview took place in August 2016 as a promotion for the concert and was published on the Gershwin Initiative’s YouTube channel with the help of Novus New Music, Inc. The following is a full transcription of the extended interview, now available on the Gershwin channel on YouTube. Dr. Timothy McAllister is the professor of saxophone at the University of Michigan. In addition to being the featured soloist of John Adams’ Saxophone Concerto, he has been a frequent guest with ensembles such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lisa Keeney is a saxophonist and researcher; an alumna of the University of Michigan, she works as an editing assistant for the UM Gershwin Initiative and also independently researches Gershwin’s relationship with the saxophone. ORCHESTRAL SAXOPHONE LK: Let’s begin with a general question: what is the orchestral saxophone, and why is it considered an anomaly or specialty instrument in orchestral music? TM: It’s such a complicated past that we have with the saxophone. -

I’ve become interested in combining pieces with various media (video, painting, dance etc.) in ways that would allow individual pieces to work together as a single work telling a larger story. Birdsongs is such a concept. Each of the seven pieces performed today explore avian themes. The pieces are intended to flow seamlessly, one to another with visual images, making a single seven- movement multimedia work. Jeremy Ruthrauff Karen Tanaka Night Bird Duration: 8 minutes Night Bird is a love song filled with the tender whispers of lovers. -

The band is based in Berne, the capitol of Switzerland. Some of the musicians are rooted in Jazz while others are based in classical music. In this special formation they overcome common patterns and create their own identity. From the soprano saxophone to the tubax nearly all saxophone related instruments are included. Together they add up to a pipe length of approximately 10m. Let alone the tubax - a newly constructed contrabass saxophone - measures more than 4m. The Saxophonists Daniel Zumofen, Matthias Wenger, Ivo Prato, Erwin Brünisholz and Michel Duc met each other for a first rehearsal in June 2011. Immediately, a constructive, creative cooperation was called into life. Soon after drummer Philippe Ducommun joined the band. For nine years the band was playing in this setup. In nearly ten years the band can present 100 concerts, CDs, Videos, press releases and radio shows. Schedule Soon, the band Klapparat celebrates its tenth anniversary. In 2020 the band plans its third CD production, a movie and tours in Switzerland and Russia. -
