Ralph Hultgren of Stories Told KJOS CONCERT BAND GRADE 5 WB381F $9.00 RALPH HULTGREN OF STORIES TOLD CONSERVATORY EDITIONS SAMPLE Neil A. Kjos Music coMpANy • sAN DieGo, cAliFoRNiA 2 THE COMPOSER Ralph Hultgren (b.1953) was born in Box Hill, Victoria, Australia, and now resides in Newmarket, Queensland with his wife Julie and two of his five children. Mr. Hultgren began his professional music career as a trumpet player in 1970. He has performed with the Central Band of the Royal Australian Air Force, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Brass Choir, and has worked as a freelance musician for the theatre, opera, cabaret, and recording studios. From 1979–1990, Mr. Hultgren was composer/arranger in residence for the Queensland Department of Education’s Instrumental Music Program. During this time he produced 185 works for that department. His works have been performed widely within Australia as well as internationally, including the U.S.A., Canada, Britain, France, Switzerland, Mexico, Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Norway, and New Zealand. Mr. Hultgren has been nominated for the prestigious “Sammy” and “Penguin Awards” for his television soundtracks, and has twice won the coveted “Yamaha Composer of the Year Award” for his symphonic band works. In 1998 he became the recipient of the “Citation of Excellence,” the Australian Band and Orchestra Directors’ Association’s highest honor. Appointments as a consultant in conducting, composition, and music education have taken place in Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Taiwan, the U.S.A., and throughout Australia. Mr. Hultgren is currently Head of Pre-Tertiary Studies at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, where he also directs the Wind Orchestra program and lectures in conducting and instrumental pedagogy. Mr. Hultgren’s other compositions published by the Neil A. Kjos Music Company include Eminence, Celebration of Life, Pageant, Grand March: The Australian Land, Beyond the Frontier, Immortal! Invisible!, And Enoch Walked with God, Whirr, Whirr, Whirr!!!, Many Paths, and Moto Perpetuo. THE COMPOSITION Written at the request of Ken Hodgkinson and Mike Tyler, this new work for symphonic band (including recorder, violin, and voices) is written to depict the joy and celebration of music making. It also has reflections on the home of the largest music conference in Australia—Maryborough. It suggests the indigenous history, the river that beautifies the area, the immigrant cultural contributions, and the joy and celebration of community. That joy and celebration is reflective of the people of the town and also of the music conference where teachers from throughout Queensland and Australia gather to share, to learn, and to make music. It is music of the past, the present, and the future. It is music of stories told and of stories yet unwritten. It is an honor to write for my colleagues and their students and for the people of Maryborough. It is a joy to share my music SAMPLEand to have it so enthusiastically and wonderfully played. WB381 3 NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR The concept of the work is that of a folk “Celtic”-type ensemble (violin, recorder or pennywhistle, and voices, plus the tambour in the percussion section) joined with the wind ensemble. This reflects across the whole of the migrant history of the area of Maryborough and though the “river” theme (the slow section at measure 18) has suggestions of folk song, it is meant to also allow the indigenous sound effects (rainstick and clack sticks) to come through. I have used a folk-jig feel and I allude to “Lilliburlero” (measure 68), a 17th-century protest song from Ireland which was also used by the British Army. At the end of the work, the use of antiphonal brass may be employed. The chimes in the last brass chorus depict the bells of Maryborough. Measure 19 calls for members of the brass section to “click” their fingers. “Clicking” is the Australian term for “snapping.” The solo instruments and voices used in the Celtic ensemble are cued in the band should soloists be unavailable.

  • Awards to Recognize Individuals Who Have Made Major Contributions to Instrumental Mu- Sic Education
    A W A RDS Each year, The Midwest Clinic presents awards to recognize individuals who have made major contributions to instrumental mu- sic education. The Medal of Honor was introduced in 1962 as a way to honor conductors, educators, composers, and others whose unique service to music education and continuing influence on the development and improvement of bands and orchestras deserve special recognition. Over its fifty-one year history, the Medal of Honor has been presented to ninety-four individuals. The Music Industry Award honors persons for outstanding support of music education through their work in the music industry. This award was introduced in 1991 and has been presented twenty-seven times. In 1992, the International Award was introduced to honor individu- als who contribute to music education from around the globe, reflecting the growth of the Midwest Clinic from an event of national stature to one of international notoriety. The Midwest Clinic is pleased to honor the 2013 recipients of the Medal of Honor, the Music Industry Award and the International Award.

  • Easter 2021 ANOFOB Program
    Welcome to the first ever Australian National Online Festival of Bands. The Band Association of NSW along with our event partners, Besson Buffet Group, Brassbanned.com, OneMusic Australia, Yamaha Music Australia and with the sup- port of CreateNSW are pleased to be hosting this inaugural event. Born out of extraordinary circumstances, I am truly humbled by the response from our Banding community across Australia to this re-styled National festival. With the cancellation of the traditional In-Venue Nationals, which were to be held in Newcastle, the BANSW Management Committee were acutely aware of the im- portance of maintaining a Banding presence over the Easter weekend. Tradition combined with the need to adapt, meant “outside the box” thinking. This resulted in significant simplification of the rules and the creation of a National Online event which would be inclusive and accessible for all Recognising the inability of many bands to have had complete rehearsals while oth- ers had few limits on rehearsals, we created a flexible Festival style event. With few registration and membership requirements bands could participate in whichever events and musical items they were able to present. A reduced minimum member number allow bands with reduced membership to still have a reason to rehearse, and attract players back to band. To this end, with 74 bands from all states and territories, including, the Arafura Wind Ensemble from the Northern Territory, appearing for their first ever National event, and the St Louis Brass Band from the USA, I believe we have absolutely achieved what we set out to. Being online has presented challenges for both Bands and organisers.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Symphonies for Wind Band
    An Annotated Bibliography of Symphonies for Wind Band by Andrew Donald Pease A Research Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Approved March 2015 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Gary W. Hill, Chair Wayne Bailey William Reber Rodney Rogers Catherine Saucier ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2015 ABSTRACT This study catalogues symphonies for wind band from the origin of the genre in the late eighteenth century through 2014. Wind bands include any mixed wind group of eight or more players. Works using the word “symphony” or its derivatives in the title are included in the study. A total of 1342 works that fit these criteria were identified. An annotated bibliography (Appendix A) includes detailed information about 695 of these works. Such information was not available for an additional 621 wind band symphonies; consequently, these works are listed in a second appendix that includes a list of sources for each work so that future researchers might investigate them further. The final appendix lists 26 wind band symphonies that are no longer available based on the author’s current sources. The titles included in this study were found by examining many repertoire resources for the wind band, including previous studies of wind band symphonies and more comprehensive repertoire resources like the Heritage Encyclopedia of Band Music and the website “The Wind Repertory Project.” Details of each piece in the annotated bibliography were found in their scores whenever possible. Contact with composers and publishers, through both their websites and direct correspondence, played a major role in this part of the study.

It is an unclassifiable piece and was born from the necessity shown other times by the composer, of combining elements from different musical traditions. In this case, a rock band (electric guitars, electric bass, keyboard and drums) is the main element which con- verses or confronts the symphonic wind ensemble. The intention of the composer is not making Symphonic Rock but the opposite: integrating the tools from other musical styles for getting his own language, an unequivocal personal expression.
