Program Notes Yo Goto (b. 1958) Songs for Wind Ensemble (2009) Duration: 7 minutes Yo Goto is recognized as one of the leading composers and educators in the field of wind and percussion music in the United States and Japan. He is currently the executive director of the Japan Academic Society of Wind Music, the executive advisor of the committee of the Japan Band Clinic, and the professor of the Showa University of Music. Goto received his Bachelor of Music Education degree from Yamagata University, Japan, and studied composition with Shin-ichiro Ikebe at the Tokyo College of Music, completing a performance diploma.

As active composer, arranger, and clinician, Goto moved to Texas to study composition with Cindy McTee at the University of North Texas (UNT) in 2001. He holds a Master of Music degree in Composition and a Master of Music Education degree from the University of North Texas. His work, Songs for Wind Ensemble, won the 2011 Sousa/Ostwald Award held by the American Bandmasters Association.

The composer states: Songs was commissioned by the Hamamatsu Cultural Foundation, Japan. The commission project, titled “Band Ishin” that means “Band Restoration,” commissions new works for wind ensemble from Japanese composers who especially work in the field of orchestra, chorus, jazz, television, and film. The work was completed in December, 2009 and premiered in March, 2010 in Hamamatusu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. This piece requires 24 parts and each part is played by just one player. Therefore, players are regarded as soloists. Soloists are expected to play simple “songs” and song fragments in their own way and sometimes in their own tempo. Consequently, Songs sounds like an accumulation of freely performed melodies. Although some “songs” have different characters, all of them are derived from a melody played by the clarinet at the beginning of the piece.

Notes by Chris Heidenreich

Carl Orff (1895-1982); trans. Hermann Regner Four Burlesque Scenes from Der Mond (1939/1997) Duration: 11 minutes Orff, who wrote both music and libretto for this single act opera in 1939, was inspired by the Grimm brothers’ fairytale of the same title. His choice of a young boy as the narrator led him to describe Der Mond as “kleines Welttheater” or, “small world theatre”. The work delves into a universe split Chosen Gems with DePaul Wind Symphony • February 21, 2020 Program Notes between heaven, earth, and the underworld, all overseen by St Peter. The earth is split into two countries, each a mirror image of the other. The title “burlesque” here alludes simply to the theatrical nature of the scenes.

From a country in which the moon never rose and no stars ever shone, four young men once went on their travels. In another kingdom, a shining ball hung on an oak tree, every night shedding a soft light far and wide: the moon.

While the farmers are drinking and dancing in the inn (I Dance of the Peasants in the Tavern), the young men fetch the moon down from the tree and bring it triumphantly back home. When the farmers stagger out of the inn, it is now dark (II. The Moon is gone). Back at home the young men hang up the moon; together they fill it with oil, clean the wick, and each week they receive a Taler for their work.

When they grow old and die, they are each buried with one quarter of the moon, in the underworld. When, however, the pieces of the moon had united themselves together again in the world below, where darkness had always prevailed, it came to pass that the dead became restless and awoke from their sleep. They were astonished when they were able to see again; the moonlight was quite sufficient for them, for their eyes had become so weak that they could not have borne the brilliance of the sun. They rose up and were merry, and fell into their former ways of living (IV. The Wine is good, the Moon so clear).

The noise became greater and greater, and at last reached even to heaven. Saint Peter who guards the gate of heaven thought the lower world had broken out in revolt and gathered together the heavenly troops, which are to drive back the Evil One when he and his associates storm the abode of the blessed. As these, however, did not come, he got on his horse and rode through the gate of heaven, down into the world below. There he reduced the dead to subjection, bade them lie down in their graves again, took the moon away with him, and hung it up in heaven.

There it hangs once more flooding the night-landscape with its light. A small child discovers it and is amazed by the sight (III. Oh, Look there hangs the Moon).

Gordon Jacob (1895-1984) Fantasia on an English Folk Song (1984) Duration: 6 minutes Based on the folk tune “Dashing Away with a Smoothing Iron,” Gordon Jacob’s Fantasia on an English Folk Song is a brief, single-movement setting that includes poignant lyricism and jaunty, up-tempo passages, all in a compact 6-minute frame. Despite being one of Jacob’s lesser-known works for winds, it has something to offer everyone; Jacob’s writing features opportunities for each section of the band to shine, and the charming tune combined with Jacob’s compositional prowess make it thoroughly enjoyable for the audience. This piece was out of print for quite some time, but is available for purchase again through C. Alan Publications.

Notes by Devin Otto

Bernard Gilmore (1937-2013) Five Folk Songs for Soprano and Band (1967/2002) Duration: 18 minutes In Five Folk Songs, Gilmore chose melodies and subject matter to entertain his audience, but also called attention to issues people have dealt with for centuries: war, poverty, love, dreams, and family. The careful and chamber-like orchestration balances symphonic forces with the vocalist and gives solo opportunities to several instrumentalists.

As conductors search for variety in programming, there is a paucity of works for voice and band. Gilmore won an award for Five Folk Songs from CBDNA for “Best Original Composition” in 1967. The handwritten parts were difficult to read, making subsequent performances cumbersome, until it was republished in 2002. While it has received some attention since then, it fills a large hole in our repertoire with creativity and poignancy.

Antonio Gervasoni (b. 1973) Peruvian Fanfare No. 1 (2014) Duration: 5 minutes Antonio Gervasoni Florez-Estrada, born in Lima, Peru, is a composer and educator. Gervasoni studied piano with Elke Brunke and later with Teresa Quesada. Between 1997 and 1998, he received master classes with the Russian composer Vladislav Uspensky, who was a student of Dmitri Shostakovich. In 2007, Gervasoni received a fellowship diploma in composition from the London College of Music. His composition for mixed choir, A-nir, won the Vanguard Premieres Choral Composition Contest in 2004 in Dearborn, Michigan.

His catalog includes works for this medium as well as chamber and symphonic music. He has also composed music for theater and film. Gervasoni is a founding member of the Peruvian Circle of Composition (Circomper) and has taught in the country’s National Conservatory. Between 2009 and 2013, he directed the School of Music of the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, UPC, where he is currently a Professor of Composition.

This work for concert band is based on two traditional dances from the coast of Peru: the Marinera and the Festejo. The two parts in which the piece can be divided have tempo indications that make use of those names.

Notes from the Wind Repertory Project

Andrew David Perkins (b. 1978) Until the Night Collapses (2018) Duration: 6 minutes I’m watching our American society violently spasm as the rise of hate groups, fascists, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are met with massive counter-protests. Mass shootings with tragic civilian casualties are becoming a regularly occurring nightmare. Families seeking asylum are being torn apart, and I see so much anger, so much contempt, and horrifically, so much violence. I feel as though we are in the dark, in the deep of night, disoriented and desperately seeking the light. Chosen Gems with DePaul Wind Symphony • February 21, 2020 Program Notes

UNTIL THE NIGHT COLLAPSES is a meditation on the crisis our nation faces and ideals to which we aspire. It interpolates traditional American patriotic songs with fragments of “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” by U2, an anthem for peace and non-violence.

Notes by Andrew David Perkins

Jodie Blackshaw (b. 1971) Peace Dancer (2017) Duration: 5 minutes Peace Dancer is inspired by the First Nations text of the same name by Roy Henry Vickers (Squamish Nation). In the words of the author:

The story Peace Dancer is about a song and dance that is thousands of years old originating from the time of the flood. Songs have been composed for different Chiefs up and down the Pacific Northwest coast. The Chief who is chosen to do this sacred dance is recognized as a healer in each community and the songs and dances are a reminder of the great flood and how the people lost their way and their love for all things in creation. During the dance there is a time when the dancer shakes eagle down from their headdress to remind people of the flood.

Whilst this text afforded many music making opportunities, the composer chose to focus on one moment: “We have really lost our way; we have not taught out children love and respect”. This is achieved by dividing this short piece into ‘moments’: meditation –awakening –realization –humility. It takes you, the audience, on an emotional journey, similar to realizing you have been in the wrong; maybe you have been unkind or acted in a way that does not become you. Once you realize the consequence of your actions, remorse and the understanding that there is a need to move forward with humility and grace follows. Thus, is the lesson of Peace Dancer.

Healey Willan (1880-1968); Ed. William Teague Royce Hall Suite (1949) Duration: 15 minutes Royce Hall Suite was named after the concert auditorium on the UCLA campus. It was dedicated to and premiered by Patton McNaughton and the UCLA Band in May 1949. Being somewhat unsure of this band- scoring technique, Willan chose William Teague to write the score and parts. The opening movement begins with an organlike Prelude, followed immediately by a short five-voice fugue. The second movement, Menuet – Allegretto grazioso, is cast in the traditional song form with trio construction and is scored for two horns and woodwinds. The third movement, Rondo – March, is a so-called “second” rondo (ABACA) with a martial opening theme separated by two lyrical episodes.
