Please join our emailing list to keep in tou Visit our website at surreybrass.co.uk Grand Choeur Dialogué - Eugène Gigout Eugène Gigout (1844 –1925) was a French organist and a composer of European late-romantic music for organ. A pupil of Camille Saint-Saëns, he served as the organist of Saint-Augustin Church in Paris for an astonishing 62 years. He became widely known as a teacher and his output as a composer was considerable. Renowned as an expert improviser, he also founded his own music school. His pupils included Léon Boëllmann, André Messager, and Albert Roussel. The 10 pièces pour orgue (composed 1890) are Gigout's most celebrated compositions and the Toccata in B minor is his best-known creation, which turns up as a frequent encore at organ recitals. Grand Choeur Dialogué is also frequently featured, and this evening marks the first performance of the arrangement of this piece by tonight’s organ soloist Adrian Warren. Theme from “The Big Country” - Jerome Moross Everything about this 1958 classic is Big. The tag line for the movie is “Big they fought! Big they loved! Big their story!” The characters are larger than life, the huge vistas of the American Midwest provide a great backdrop to the strong screenplay featuring a star-studded cast including Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Carroll Baker, Charlton Heston and Burl Ives. Then there is the theme tune, which helped to made the movie a smash hit from the opening title sequence and is one of the greatest pieces of movie music ever written. The Magnificent Seven - Elmer Bernstein This Oscar-nominated was perhaps one of the first Spaghetti Westerns, set in Mexico. It featured music by Elmer Bernstein. The score is, of course, one of the all-time classics. An oppressed Mexican peasant village assembles seven gunfighters to help defend their homes. They must prepare the town to repulse an army of over 100 bandits who will arrive wanting food. This gave the perfect excuse to use seven major stars in one film, guaranteeing its success. Ironically, composer John Williams who later wrote the music for “Star Wars” was a member of the orchestra that recorded Elmer Bernstein's score; he played the piano.

Your state conference committee has planned an exceptional program for you to enjoy, to broaden your knowledge, to experience new ideas, and to hear students and master teachers/recitalists. Please be sure to take a moment to thank your colleagues for their time and work in making this a successful conference.

Each of us has special gifts and talents. Reach out to those in your state association and volunteer to help in whatever way you can. Working and sharing together we can impact the future of music in America! There is no greater time for us to support music and the arts than now with the budget cuts that so many local and state governments are facing. In addition to attending the Georgia MTA Conference, we hope you will make plans to attend the 2013 MTNA National Conference in Anaheim, California, March 9-13. It promises to be an outstanding conference, featuring high caliber artists and master teachers, as well as sessions and workshops emphasizing offerings for teachers in all areas.

I highlight how an exploration of the ‘national voice’ constitutes both an idealisation of musical sound and national belonging. Through voice, I offer not only a new methodological approach to the question of musical nationalism, but also an understanding of its embodiment through concepts of gender and sexuality.

    The International Euphonium Tuba Festival 2017 Adam Frey Depends on Yamaha. “The YEP-842S combines incredibly precise tuning, superb response and an evenness of tone that is unmatched…exactly what I need as a musician.” Welcome to our 14th Anniversary of the International Euphonium and Tuba Festival!! Each year, I am reminded about the inspiration that my teachers and fi rst conferences brought to me. That slight (or dramatic) nervous feeling to be speaking with one of my musical idols!! I was always motivated and my goals galvinized, but I was also a little frazzeled! I try to recreate these opportunities for the participants of the IET Festival each year and it in turn continues to motiviate and energize me. Thank you for being a part of this event and hope it does for you what it has done for the many others: create a lifetime of friendships, a trail of inspiration that may led to professional musicial employment, and help players be the best they can be!!

  • Robert David Anderson 1927 – 2015
    ROBERT DAVID ANDERSON 1927 – 2015 Classical scholar, Egyptologist and musician 1 Robert David Anderson was born in 1927 in India (his father was a tea planter) and died in London on 24 November 2015, at the age of 88. Not a publicly famous man, Robert was nonetheless a man of immense intellectual ability, capable of storing in his mind the full musical scores of the master composers as well as of interpreting ancient Egyptian scriptures and ruins and making historical sense of them. Scholar of Harrow School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge – where he read Classics and Egyptology – Robert enjoyed twin careers in the field of Egyptology and music. After graduation and military service in Palestine, where he fell in love with Arabic culture and the Middle East, he was appointed Director of Music at Gordonstoun School in Scotland, where, shortly after he left, Prince Charles received his school education. As an Egyptologist, he was for twelve years (1971-1982) Honorary Secretary of the Egypt Exploration Society, managing its excavations in Egypt and its activities programme in London, where he also taught hieroglyphics extramurally and produced the third volume, on musical instruments, of the British Museum’s Catalogue of Egyptian Antiquities. He excavated at Saqqara, and at Qasr Ibrim in Nubia, where he was Administrative Director of the Society’s dig, with special responsibility for finds of written material – including bilingual texts that enhanced current knowledge of mediaeval Nubian, the longest passage so far discovered of poetry by the first Roman governor of Egypt, Cornelius Gallus, and homilies and biblical fragments from what had once been the cathedral library.
