Valerie Kolb • April 15, 2018 PROGRAM NOTES John Barnes Chance (1932-1972) Credo (1959) ​ Duration: 4 minutes John Barnes Chance was a composer and arranger who is most well-known for his concert band pieces. He studied composition at the University of Texas in Austin and eventually took a job with the Austin Symphony as a timpanist. Upon joining the Eighth United States Army Band, he soon began arranging and it was this experience which led Chance to dedicate his life to full-time composition. In 1966, he began teaching composition at the University of Kentucky where he would continue to work until his death in 1972. Credo is Chance’s only piece written for a soloist with piano ​ ​ accompaniment, and it requires the soloist to move effortlessly through the ever-changing time signatures while executing the various articulations and varying styles that are required. The introduction is powerful and immediately begins building intensity as it pushes into the A section, which holds various motives and technical passages. The B-section then drifts along as if the player is in a trance without time constraints. Without warning, the A section returns and presents the same motives and challenges as the initial statement. The piece then drives forward with growing intensity until it ends, even more powerfully than the opening bars. Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) Trumpet Concerto in E Flat Major (1803) ​ Duration: 4 minutes Johann Nepomuk Hummel was an Austrian composer and a talented pianist. As a child prodigy, he studied under Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart until age 9, when he began touring with his father. In the early 1790s, Hummel returned to Vienna and studied with many composers, one of which was Franz Joseph Haydn. Continuing his development as a composer and conductor, in 1819, Hummel became the musical director in Weimar, Germany and held this position until his death in 1837. The Trumpet Concerto in E Flat Major was composed for the inventor of the ​ ​ keyed trumpet, Anton Weidinger, in 1803. Garnering wide success since it’s premiere in 1804, Hummel’s trumpet concerto has become a staple in the Valerie Kolb • April 15, 2018 Program Notes trumpet literature. Typically played on an Eb trumpet, the piece is demanding for a number of reasons. The third movement features trills and other ornaments, and also requires the player to make wide stylistic variations between a fanfare rondo and a mysterious allegretto. Kevin McKee (b. 1980) Centennial Horizon (2011) ​ Duration: 12 Minutes Although he considers himself primarily a trumpet player, Kevin Mckee is an American composer who frequently writes for brass instruments. He admits that being viewed as a legitimate composer is still surprising to him, as he did not begin composing until he was well into his masters degree at the University of Maryland. Mckee’s first piece was for brass quintet and was written for a group in which he was a performing member. Since then he has expanded his compositions to include many brass solo works, brass chamber pieces, and even compositions for large ensembles that also feature trumpet solos. This piece, Centennial Horizon, was commissioned by ​ ​ Catherine Sheridan, but the idea for the solo ultimately came from Mckee’s late grandmother who had always wanted him to compose a piece about the most beautiful parts of Colorado. He chose to write two movements that in turn depict the quiet calmness of the state and the contrasting quickly flowing Gunnison River. While the first movement features the singing capabilities of the trumpet, the patterns and scales in the second movement fly across the range of the instrument deftly depicting the rapidly flowing river. Michael Daugherty (b. 1954) The Lightning Fields (2015) ​ Duration: 23 Minutes Michael Daugherty grew up surrounded by jazz and popular music. As a child, he taught himself keyboard and then continued to study piano for several years. During this time, Daugherty was not only influenced by the Bach fugues he was studying, but also the pop songs he listened to on the radio. It wasn’t long before he began transcribing soul charts for his high school band, and six years later, Daugherty premiered his first composition, Movements for Orchestra, in 1974. His work earned Daugherty a scholarship ​ to study composition at the University of North Texas College of Music Valerie Kolb • April 15, 2018 Program Notes where he later earned a B.M. in composition. Today, Daugherty is considered to be one of the top ten most performed living American composers. The Lightning Fields was commissioned by the International Trumpet Guild ​ and is inspired by four magnificent light displays in the United States and Mexico. It moves across the country from Los Angeles, where the city lights can be seen endlessly across the landscape, to a grid of lightning rods in New Mexico where lightning strikes frequently, to the mysterious “ghost lights” at the southern border, and finally to Times Square with its unparalleled display of lights and electronic billboards. Daugherty’s childhood influences are showcased with various jazz figures throughout the piece. He also employs heavy imagery in order to depict the location in which each movement is taking place. Movement IV in particular moves briskly liken to the constant activity of Times Square. Notes rise and fall with quick scalar patterns as if the player is winding through the heavy traffic of tourists and workers. The movement finally ends with a cadenza which slows the pace of the movement and borrows from jazz figures that were showcased in the first movement followed by the driving tempo and rhythm returning to finish out the piece. Samuel Scheidt (1587-1654) Canzon Cornetto (1621) ​ Duration: 3 minutes ​ Samuel Scheidt was a German composer credited as the first German composer for the organ. Widely known for his organ pieces and his sacred vocal pieces, Scheidt’s most common compositional technique, “pattern variation”, can be heard in Canzon Cornetto as the opening motive passing ​ ​ through the four parts and being altered by modulation and augmentation. This piece also features a call and response originating between the first and second parts and then expanding to include the third and fourth parts. The final section of the work restates the motive in its original form as it leads to the concluding tonic chord.

  • Playlist #22 - Wednesday, September 2Nd, 2020
    Legato in Times of Staccato Playlist #22 - Wednesday, September 2nd, 2020 Curated by Music Director, Fouad Fakhouri Beethoven: Violin Concerto (Itzhak Perlman, violin) Written in 1806 (between his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies) Beethoven wrote the only Violin Concerto he completed for violin virtuoso, Franz Clement. The Napoleonic invasion of Austria was in full stride when he completed the work. In fact, the French officers were quartered in the same house with Beethoven when he set the last marking to the concerto. Beethoven: Triple Concerto in C major Op. 56 & Choral Fantasy in C minor Op. 80 (Itzhak Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, & Daniel Barenboim) Ludwig van Beethoven's Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Piano in C major, Op. 56, more commonly known as the Triple Concerto, was composed in 1803 and later published in 1804 by Breitkopf & Härtel. The choice of the three solo instruments effectively makes this a concerto for piano trio, and it is the only concerto Beethoven ever completed for more than one solo instrument. Bach: Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (Yo-Yo Ma, cello) The Prelude of the 1st Suite for unaccompanied cello by J.S. Bach is possibly the most immediately recognizable solo work for the instrument. The pattern of the suite is the one largely followed in the subsequent suites: a free prelude, followed by a fast Allemande and Courante, a contemplative Sarabande, a Minuet that makes an excursion into a minor key, and a speedy closing Gigue. Haydn: Trumpet Concerto (Wynton Marsalis, trumpet) Joseph Haydn's Trumpet Concerto was written in 1796 for his long-time friend Anton Weidinger.

TRUMPET CONCERTO IN E flat 3rd MOVEMENT by HAYDN TEACHER PAGES TRUMPET CONCERTO IN E flat, 3rd MOVEMENT BY JOSEPH HAYDN http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p034pp7f CONTEXT Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto was composed in 1796 to celebrate and showcase the capabilities of a newly -invented instrumental technology i.e. the keyed trumpet. For the first time in its history the trumpet was able to perform a complete chromatic scale across all registers, enabling it to play melodies rather than fanfares in the mid and lower registers: previously melodies could only be played in the high register. Haydn’s concerto was composed for his friend and virtuoso trumpet player , Anton Weidlinger, who had been closely involved in this technological development. MUSICAL INGREDIENTS Timbre: Full classical orchestra (no concerns about overpowering the solo trumpet) Structure: Rondo form: A B A C A Alternation of tutti and solo passages Pitch/melody: Major tonality Scalic solo trumpet melodies in all registers (including the the lower and mid registers for the first time) Occasional chromaticism Fanfare like melodic passages Texture: Light, clear texture Mainly homophonic (melody above chords) LEARNING ACTIVITIES SUMMARY Composing challenge 1 Show stopper!

  • Anton Weidinger and the Emergence of His Voice: the Keyed Trumpet Jeremy W
    Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology Volume 8 | Issue 1 Article 5 Anton Weidinger and the Emergence of His Voice: The Keyed Trumpet Jeremy W. Sexton Wake Forest University Recommended Citation Sexton, Jeremy W. (2015) "Anton Weidinger and the Emergence of His Voice: The KeyedT rumpet," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 8: Iss. 1, Article 5. Anton Weidinger and the Emergence of His Voice: The Keyed Trumpet Abstract This paper examines Anton Weidinger, the 18th- and early 19th-century keyed trumpet player for whom Joseph Haydn and Johann Nepomuk Hummel composed their trumpet concerti. As the most successful of many attempts to chromaticize the trumpet in the late 18th century, during which the Baroque clarino style of trumpet-playing was waning, Weidinger’s keyed trumpet enjoyed a short-lived period of prominence from about 1800 to 1804, the period during which Weidinger premiered these two concerti. Subsequently, the keyed trumpet declined in popularity, and eventually it was replaced by the valve trumpet. Both concerti emphasize the chromatic capabilities of the new instrument. A detailed examination of some passages from the third movements of the two concerti suggests a deliberate attempt on the part of Hummel (perhaps under Weidinger’s influence) to “quote” and outdo the most virtuosic passages in the Haydn concerto and to cast the new instrument as capable of playing in a “singing” operatic style. Musical quotation from Luigi Cherubini’s opera Les Deux Journées further cements the implicit connection Hummel draws between the keyed trumpet and opera (and, by extension, the human voice).

  • 1 the Haydn and Hummel Trumpet
    The Haydn and Hummel Trumpet Concertos and Their Similarities C. Nathan Blinn Senior Paper (490) Professor Smith 25 November 2008 1 The Franz Joseph Haydn Trumpet Concerto (1796) and Johann Nepomuk Hummel Concerto for trumpet and orchestra (1803) are staples within trumpet literature. Players and listeners know many similarities exist between these concertos. They are so similar that many people believe that one copied the other. Through examining the history of these composers, instrument composed for, trumpet player composed for, style of the time and place in which the compositions were made, and outside musical influences, one can easily see why these two concertos have so many similarities. Movement three measures 194-202 of the Hummel (figure 1a) take the motive of movement three measures 86-92 of the Haydn (figure 1b) and develop it. A trill passage in movement three measures 218-232 of the Hummel is similar to the trill passage of Haydn’s movement three measures 249-256. Both compositions are set up in the common three movement form of first movement Allegro, second movement Andante, and third movement Allegro. The first movement of both works is in sonata form. The second movement of both works is in binary form. The third movement of both works is in sonata rondo form. The andante section of both works is either in, or feels like it is in compound meter. Citations for measure numbers of the Haydn concerto come from the Schirmer’s Library of Musical Classics published by G. Schirmer Inc. version of the concerto. Citations for measure numbers of the Hummel concerto come from the Roger Voisin edited version copyright by International Music Company.

  • Cherubini, Hummel, Konzerte, Opern, Quodlibets Und Trompeten in Wien Zu Beginn Des 19
    Martin Skamletz »… und gar nichts, wodurch sich der eigene schöpferische Geist des Komponisten beurkundete«. Cherubini, Hummel, Konzerte, Opern, Quodlibets und Trompeten in Wien zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Teil 3 und Schluss: Anton Weidinger und sein Instrument Die ersten beiden Teile dieser Betrachtung haben sich mit dem dramaturgischen Kon- text des E-Dur-Marsches in Luigi Cherubinis Oper Les deux journées, einigen komposi- torischen Aspekten seiner Einbettung in das Finale von Johann Nepomuk Hummels Trompetenkonzert und der Motivation für dieses Zitat beschäftigt: Mit einiger Wahr- scheinlichkeit ist es auf Veranlassung von Kaiserin Marie Therese (1772–1807) als ver- schlüsselte antinapoleonische Durchhalteparole in das Programm des höfischen Tafel- dienstes am 1. Januar 1804 eingefügt worden, der gewissermaßen als ihre musikalische Neujahrsansprache betrachtet werden kann.1 Dass Hummels Konzert in dieser Weise als Träger einer rhetorischen Botschaft für einen ganz bestimmten Anlass fungiert, bietet einen zusätzlichen Anhaltspunkt für das Verständnis der Tatsache, dass dieses für die einmalige Verwendung im Rahmen einer höfischen Veranstaltung konzipierte Werk in der Folge nie mehr aufgeführt und auch nicht publiziert worden ist: Es hätte in anderem Zusammenhang als jenem der Bedrohung durch Napoleon zu Beginn des für das Heilige Römische Reich und Österreich schicksalhaften Jahres 1804 gar nicht vollständig ver- standen werden können, wofür auch die bis in die jüngste Zeit andauernden Diskussio- nen um Hummels Cherubini-Zitat als Beweis dienen mögen. 1 Martin Skamletz: »… und gar nichts, wodurch sich der eigene schöpferische Geist des Komponisten beurkundete«.

Haydn had already shown signs of a budding musician; all the more reason to have young Haydn travel to study with his father’s cousin, the choir director of the Hainburg church. As a vocalist, Franz Joseph Haydn was adept to singing pieces his father, Mathias Haydn, would play.1 While in Hainburg, he was exposed to Roman Catholic liturgical singing as well as performances on harpsichord, and violin.
