75th Anniversary In recognition of the 75th anniversary of the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association, three works were commissioned to be written by composers with ties to Virginia. The first by Michael Oare (Band Director at Great Bridge Middle School in Chesapeake) was premiered by the All-Virginia Concert Band in 2015. In the near future it will be transcribed and made availa- ble for middle school string orchestra. The second commission by Brian Balmages, written for high school string orchestra, was premiered last year by the All-Virginia Orchestra. Brian Balmages is a graduate of James Madison University and is Currently, Director of Instrumental Publications for The FJH Music Company Inc. in Fort Lauderdale, .

The third commission The Seeker will be for high school band to be premiered at today’s All-Virginia Band and Orchestra event by the All-Virginia Symphonic Band. The composer, David Maslanka, is in attendance. In Buddhist tradition the bodhisattvas are the seekers after enlightment. It can be said that we are all seekers on this path, the path of self-understanding, of the heart of compassion, of caring for the world. The bodhisattvas are put forward as models for our own seeking: Avalokiteshvara: The way of listening in order to relieve the suffering in the world. Manjushri: The way of being still and looking deeply into the heart of things and people. Samantabhadra: The way of acting with the eyes and heart of compassion. Ksitigarbha: The way of being present where there is darkness, suffering, oppression and despair. Sadaparibhuta: The way of never disparaging or underestimating any living being. “The Seeker” is subtitled “a symphonic movement.” It opens with a slow melody that feels like an Appalachian folk song. It tran- sitions suddenly and sharply into the main body of the work, an energetic and exuberant romp at a very speedy tempo. The open- ing melody returns in the context of a chorale, my recomposition of “Christe, der dubist Tag und Licht” (Christ, you who are day and light) from the 371 four-part chorales of Bach. The movement concludes with a partial recap of the fast music, and a very brief coda.
