About Champion Fanfare This selection is an exciting opener to any beginner band concert! Champion’s Fanfare utilizes doubling among brass and woodwind sections to provide ease of teaching while providing students with “backup” to build up confidence. The use of light percussion parts allows for stellar performance with as few as three players! It is a must have for any program wishing to grasp the audience’s attention at the start of their concert. Performance Notes The first fourteen measure needs to be an explosion of energy. The melody is first introduced in the Clarinet, Tenor Sax, and Horn; rehearse for balance and blend within those instruments. The development section is a change of pace. It allows for woodwind section features and legato expression. As the melody is restated later, the low brass has a new rhythmic figure to create new ideas behind the original melody. Bring out the accents, in a tasteful manner, in the percussion feature. The introduction is restated after the percussion section. It is the introduction with a slightly different twist, “concert G≤!” Make sure the long tones don’t overpower the last statement of the theme as you bring your concert opener to a close.

  • A Selection of Contemporary Fanfares for Multiple Trumpets Demonstrating Evolutionary Processes in the Fanfare Form
    MODERN FORMS OF AN ANCIENT ART: A SELECTION OF CONTEMPORARY FANFARES FOR MULTIPLE TRUMPETS DEMONSTRATING EVOLUTIONARY PROCESSES IN THE FANFARE FORM Paul J. Florek, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Keith Johnson, Major Professor Eugene Corporon, Committee Member John Holt, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Florek, Paul J. Modern Forms of an Ancient Art: A Selection of Contemporary Fanfares for Multiple Trumpets Demonstrating Evolutionary Processes in the Fanfare Form. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2015, 73 pp., 1 table, 26 figures, references, 96 titles. The pieces discussed throughout this dissertation provide evidence of the evolution of the fanfare and the ability of the fanfare, as a form, to accept modern compositional techniques. While Britten’s Fanfare for St. Edmundsbury maintains the harmonic series, it does so by choice rather than by the necessity in earlier music played by the baroque trumpet. Stravinsky’s Fanfare from Agon applies set theory, modal harmonies, and open chords to blend modern techniques with medieval sounds. Satie’s Sonnerie makes use of counterpoint and a rather unusual, new characteristic for fanfares, soft dynamics. Ginastera’s Fanfare for Four Trumpets in C utilizes atonality and jazz harmonies while Stravinsky’s Fanfare for a New Theatre strictly coheres to twelve-tone serialism. McTee’s Fanfare for Trumpets applies half-step dissonance and ostinato patterns while Tower’s Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman demonstrates a multi-section work with chromaticism and tritones.

Standridge Program Notes For those of you that are unaware, I was a band director for twelve years. During my time in that occupation, I created many works that had specific educational goals, but would also fit into our concert repertoire as, what I hoped, would be engaging pieces for both the players and the audience. I always struggled to find music that introduced new concepts in achievable, yet meaningful, ways. Fanfare for the 16th Empire is a concert fanfare for young ensembles that serves many purposes. It is primarily ​ intended as a tool to develop young players’ abilities to correctly time, articulate, and perform sixteenth notes. Secondly, it is intended to be an exciting work that makes the students run to rehearsal, slinging their bookbags across the room in their hurry to get their instruments out and get seated, ready to play.

During the 1930s and 1940s especially, Copland deliberately composed “populist” music accessible to the general public. Unsurprisingly, his most widely- known works come from this period, includ- Born ing Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, Rodeo, and November 14, 1900, in Fanfare for the Common Man.

  • The Magic Flute), K
    Firebird! – May 14, 2017 Overture to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), K. 620 1756-1791 Public taste is fickle. By the late 1780s, Mozart’s star in Vienna was dimming rapidly. The change in popular musical taste, general economic decline and his own inability to manage his finances combined to make him emotionally frantic and scrambling for commissions. Since there was no more demand for Mozart’s Akademien (self-promoting subscription concerts), and his most successful librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte, had left Vienna, he turned for a joint operatic venture to one of the most colorful (and successful) dramatists and theater directors of the era, Emanuel Schikaneder. Mozart and Schikaneder knew each other both professionally and as fellow Freemasons. Schikaneder’s libretto contains many elements of the Freemason philosophy and ritual in its emphasis on human enlightenment. It promotes its high-minded ideology through a fairytale plot and characters, in addition to moments of incredible silliness. The Magic Flute is a dramatization of the battle between the forces of good (light) and evil (darkness), symbolized by the high priest of Isis, Sarastro, and the Queen of the Night. In order to win the hand of the Queen’s daughter, Pamina, whom Sarastro has abducted and detained “for her own good,” Prince Tamino must undergo trials by fire and water. He succeeds with the aid of a magic flute, while his companion, the comic bird-catcher Papageno, bungles through lower level trials to win himself a wife, Papagena. Most operatic overtures of this period contain no themes from the operas themselves.

  • Theory of Music-Stravinsky
    Theory of Music – Jonathan Dimond Stravinsky (version October 2009) Introduction Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was one of the most internationally- acclaimed composer conductors of the 20th Century. Like Bartok, his compositional style drew from the country of his heritage – Russia, in his case. Both composers went on to spend time in the USA later in their careers also, mostly due to the advent of WWII. Both composers were also exposed to folk melodies early in their lives, and in the case of Stravinsky, his father sang in Operas. Stravinsky’s work influenced Bartok’s – as it tended to influence so many composers working in the genre of ballet. In fact, Stravinsky’s influence was so broad that Time Magazine named him one of th the most influential people of the 20 Century! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_Stravinsky More interesting, however, is the correlation of Stravinsky’s life with that of Schoenberg, who were contemporaries of each other, yet had sometimes similar and sometimes contradictory approaches to music. The study of their musical output is illuminated by their personal lives and philosophies, about which much has been written. For such writings on Stravinsky, we have volumes of work created by his long-term companion and assistant, the conductor/musicologist Robert Craft. {See the Bibliography.} Periods Stravinsky’s compositions fall into three distinct periods. Some representative works are listed here also: The Dramatic Russian Period (1906-1917) The Firebird (1910, revised 1919 and 1945) Petrouchka (1911, revised 1947))

  • Fanfarefall 2019 Department of Music & Dance
    Fall 2019 FanfareDepartment of Music & Dance College of Humanities & Fine Arts T IS WITH a great deal of pleasure and an even greater sense of responsibility that I send out my first letter as chair of the Department of Music and Dance at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I I am completely aware of the tremendous charge that I am assuming, and am quite humbled by it. I am equally aware of the remarkably high standards set by my predecessors. The development of our department, starting with Philip Bezanson in the late 1960s through Charles Bestor in the ’70s, continuing in a direct line through Jeff Cox and Roberta Marvin, has been an extraordinary one. I consider myself lucky to have been able to learn from the chairs with whom I have worked, and I am grateful to have had such outstanding mentors to follow. I am also grateful to my music and dance department colleagues for their show of support and trust in recommending me for my new role. I hope to live up to their belief in me and will do my best to continue and enrich a supportive and creative learning environment. As we all know, the Department of Music and Dance is a vibrant and exciting place to study and to teach. There is an extraordinary amount of scholarship, pedagogy, and performance taking place here, literally on a daily basis. One of the goals of my tenure will be to continue to explore meaningful ways for our students and faculty to share their work not only with one another, but with the university and the larger community as well.
