Whitacre as sunburn to the audience with intense heat, then drench and heal them with rain, and finally blow them back against their seats with the power and excitement of wind. Danzón No. 2 — Julie Giroux Arturo Márquez is a Mexican composer who uses musical forms and styles of his native Mexico. He was born in Alamos, Sonora, in 1950 where his interest in music began. He is the first born of nine children, and the only one of the nine siblings who became a musician. Márquez’s father was a mariachi musician in Mexico and later in Los Angeles, and his paternal grandfather was a Mexican folk musician in the northern states of Sonora and Chihuahua. He was exposed to several musical styles in his childhood, particularly Mexican “salon music” which would be the impetus for his later musical repertoire. Márquez’s Danzon No. 2 is, along with Jose Pablo Moncayo’s Huapango, Carlos Chavez’s Sinfonia India and Silvestre Revueltas’ Sensemaya, one of the most popular and significant Mexican contemporary classical music compositions performed by orchestras. Danzón No. 2 was commissioned by the National Autonomous University of Mexico and debuted in 1994 in Mexico City by the Orquesta Filarmonica de la UNAM under the direction of Francisco Savin. The piece focuses on the accents rather than the time signatures, thus the tempo might seem to vary even though it doesn’t, however the precision in every measure remains constant. This contemporary Mexican music literature expresses and reflects on a dance style called Danzón, which has its origins in Cuba but it is a very important part of the folklore of the Mexican state of Veracruz. Márquez got his inspiration while visiting a ballroom in Veracruz. 4 WIND SYMPHONY — adapted from Wikipedia Pines of Rome Pines of Rome, a tone poem for orchestra in four movements by Ottorino Respighi (two of which the Wind Symphony will play for you this evening) premiered in 1924 in Rome. It is the Italian composer’s tribute to scenes around his country’s capital, some contemporary and some recalling the glory of the Roman Empire. It is Respighi’s most frequently performed work. Pines of Rome is the second in a series of three tone poems by Respighi known as the Roman trilogy. It was preceded by Fountains of Rome (1914–16) and followed by Roman Festivals (1929). In his own notes for Pines of Rome, Respighi wrote: While in Fountains of Rome the composer sought to reproduce by means of tones an impression of nature, in Pines of Rome he uses nature as a point of departure, to recall memories and visions.

After studying composition at London’s Royal College of Music, he spent the early part of his career playing trombone in an opera orchestra. It was not until the early 1900s that his career as a composer began to take off. Around this same time, he acquired positions at both St. Paul’s Girls’ School and Morley College that he would hold until retirement, despite his rising star as a composer. His music was influenced by his interest in English folk songs and Hindu mysticism, Late-Romantic era composers like Strauss and Delius, and avant-garde composers of his time like Stravinsky and Schoenberg. He is perhaps best known for composing The Planets, a massive orchestral suite that depicts the astrological character of each known planet. His works for wind band (two suites and a tone poem, Hammersmith) are foundational to the modern wind literature.

His works have been performed at a variety of venues including the Midwest Clinic, The College Band Directors’ National Conference and the International Trumpet Guild. He currently holds the position of Director of Instrumental Publications for the FJH Music Company. Three Celtic Dances is a three‐movement work based on Scottish dances with Balmages’ original material. The opening Reel begins with a light‐ hearted presentation of the melody in typical Scottish fashion. As the movement develops, rhythms and harmonies become more intense and driving before a burst of percussion brings it to a sudden close. The second movement, Air, uses solo alto saxophone in a lush and lyrical setting of Well May I Behold My Faithful Brown‐Hair'd Maid. The theme, presented in two contrasting settings, becomes extremely powerful with soaring countermelodies before returning to the tranquility of the opening. The final movement, Jig, makes use of expansive percussion as it celebrates one of the most well known Celtic dance forms. The composer layers themes and various sounds throughout as the work builds to a furious conclusion supported by an enormous battery of percussion.
