Bloom PERUSAL SCORE - NOT for PERFORMANCE USE Program Note Bloom Is a Celebration of Springtime PERUSAL SCORE - NOT FOR PERFORMANCE USE STEVEN BRYANT Bloom PERUSAL SCORE - NOT FOR PERFORMANCE USE Program Note Bloom is a celebration of springtime. The bright, sunny days, with nature in bloom all around, give me a powerful sense of well-being, simultaneously tranquil and exuberant. Bloom is my attempt to recreate that feeling. Performance Tips The work should be warm and sustained. The biggest challenges are intonation (because of the sustained tones and cluster chords, which should have a minimum of vibrato), and endurance (for younger groups). The tempo change at measure 30 shouldn’t rush - let the music flow smoothly with an unhurried sense of tranquility. Stress the overall arc of the piece, focusing on a gradual build to the climax in measure 131. The tempos are not rigid throughout, though abrupt deviations aren’t appropriate. Let it breathe. I intend for this piece to provide an atypical and more mature musical experience for younger bands than that to which they’re accustomed. Although commissioned for a middle school honor band, the piece is intended to be rewarding for ensembles of all levels. About the Composer Steven Bryant (b. 1972, Little Rock, AR) is an active composer and conductor with a varied catalog, including works for wind ensemble, orchestra, electronic and electro-acoustic creations, chamber music, and music for the web. Steven's music has been performed by numerous ensembles across the United States, as well as in England, Japan, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Germany. His first orchestral work, Loose Id for Orchestra, hailed by celebrated composer Samuel Adler as “orchestrated like a virtuoso,” was premiered by The Juilliard Symphony and will be featured on an upcoming release by the Bowling Green Philharmonia on Albany Records. His most recent orchestral work, Alchemy in Silent Spaces, commissioned by James DePreist and The Juilliard School, was premiered by the Juilliard Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall in May, 2006. He studied composition with John Corigliano at The Juilliard School, Cindy McTee at the University of North Texas, and Francis McBeth at Ouachita University.

  • Beginnings and Endings- GT Concert Band and Symphonic Band- April 13, 2014
    Beginnings and Endings- GT Concert Band and Symphonic Band- April 13, 2014 Concert Band Chorale and Alleluia- Howard Hanson (1896-1981) Chorale and Alleluia was completed in January 1954, and was Dr. Hanson's first work for symphonic band. It was given its premiere on February 26 at the convention of the American Bandmasters Association at West Point with Colonel William Santelmann, leader of the U.S. Marine Band, conducting. The composition opens with a fine flowing chorale. Soon the joyous Alleluia theme appears and is much in evidence throughout. A bold statement of a new melody makes its appearance in lower brasses in combination with the above themes. The effect is one of cathedral bells, religious exaltation, solemnity, and dignity. The music is impressive, straightforward, and pleasingly non- dissonant, and its resonance and sonority are ideally suited to the medium of the modern symphonic band. Howard Hanson was one of the most important composers and music administrators of the 20th Century. In 1924, he began a 40-year career as Director of the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. It was during Hanson's tenure that Frederick Fennell founded the Eastman Symphonic Wind Ensemble. Hanson was the recipient of many awards for his compositions, including the 1944 Pulitzer Prize for his Symphony No. 4. Bloom- Steven Bryant (b. 1972) Bloom is a celebration of springtime. The bright, sunny days, with nature in bloom all around, give me a powerful sense of well-being, simultaneously tranquil and exuberant. Bloom is my attempt to recreate that feeling. Steven Bryant, the son of a professional trumpeter and music educator, composes music across a variety of media and ensembles, ranging from electronic and electro-acoustic works, to chamber music, to works for wind ensembles and orchestras.

Bryant strongly values music education, and his creative output includes a number of works for young and developing musicians. Bryant’s music has been performed by numerous ensembles across North America, Europe, and East Asia. He is a three-time winner of the National Band Association’s William D. Revelli Composition Award: in 2010 for Ecstatic Waters, in 2008 for Suite Dreams, and in 2007 for his work Radiant Joy. His first orchestral work, Loose Id for Orchestra, hailed by celebrated composer Samuel Adler as “orchestrated like a virtuoso,” was premiered by The Juilliard Symphony and is featured on a CD release by the Bowling Green Philharmonia on Albany Records.
