    John Mackey (b. 1973) Sasparilla (2005) We open this afternoon’s program with the delightful and raucous Sasparilla. This is a very different work than Mackey’s Asphalt Cocktail that we performed last Fall, but no less ambitious, with a large percussion battery plus accordion and contra-bass clarinet as solo instruments. It’s a very tongue-in- cheek look at the Old West as seen through the eyes of … well, we’ll let you figure that out! From the composer: Sasparilla is my first “fully original” work for wind ensemble. With Sasparilla, the primary request from the commissioning consortium was to write something “new for band,” so I approached the piece with the goal of writing something that took advantage of the wonderful sounds than only a concert band can make. “Sasparilla” was a type of liquor served in saloons in the old west. It has since become a non- alcoholic root beer-like beverage. Whether it be from bad liquor or terribly funky soda, Sasparilla tells the tale of an Old West saloon, and the specific tale seems to vary, depending on the listener. Some hear a pony who drinks from a fermented trough and goes on a joyride to Tijuana. Some hear a cowboy who can’t hold his drink. Some suggest the old west as viewed through the eyes of the old Warner Brothers cartoons. Regarding the spelling...although I would never be one to win a spelling bee, I realize that the “correct” spelling is “sarsaparilla,” but there are two other slangified spellings – “sarsparilla” and the one I’ve chosen, “sasparilla.” Although only one would win you a spelling bee, “sasparilla” looked best in print! John Mackey holds a Master of Music degree from The Juilliard School and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with John Corigliano and Donald Erb, respectively.

Professor Anna Reid, my other supervisor, also gave me significant help and support, sometimes just when I absolutely needed it. The guidance from both my supervisors has been invaluable, and I sincerely thank them. One of the greatest pleasures during the course of this research project has been the number of generous people who have provided indispensable help. From a musical point of view, my colleague Glenn Amer spent countless hours helping me record piano rolls, sharing his incredible knowledge and musical skills that often threw new light on a particular work or pianist.

  • This Chapter Contains Commentaries on Individual Works by Percy
    This chapter contains commentaries on individual works by Percy Grainger, consisting of notes on sources of the music, various arrangements that Grainger "dished up" of each work, and other criticism. The individual sections are taken from writings by various critics and musicologists and by Grainger himself. At the end are two Appendices, consisting of Grainger's own notes and suggestions on how his (and other) music should be composed, played, orchestrated, and interpreted. [Works are discussed in alphabetical order, from Air and Dance to Zanzibar Boat Song.] [NOTE: THIS ONLINE VERSION IS CURRENTLY "TEXT ONLY." IN THE PRINTED VERSION, THERE ARE NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS FROM MUSICAL SCORES AND OTHER MUSICAL EXAMPLES. THESE HAVE TO BE SCANNED SEPARATELY AND WILL BE ADDED AT A FUTURE DATE. [Footnotes in the original printed version are, in this online version, embedded in the text, in [boldface, surrounded by square brackets]. To help you find individual works that are discussed, the following list shows the alphabetical range of names of works, which are in alphabetical order, described on each Web page. For example, to find Blithe Bells, click on the entry for the first page, which contains all works from Air and Dance to Carman's Whistle. You can also refer to the Table of Contents for the entire book for guidance. (Unfortunately, this method of finding the correct page is of less help for pieces that are parts of longer works. For example, Lincolnshire Posy consists of arrangements of six separate songs, Lisbon, Horkstow Grange, Rufford Park Poachers, The Brisk Young Sailor, Lord Melbourne, and The Lost Lady Found.
