EOY/Spring Concert Program Notes Name____________________________________ Due Date: Friday, May 1st, 2020 You have a choice to return this assignment by either writing it down (using a separate sheet of paper) or send the answers electronically (through e-mail or phone text picture) EOY/Spring Concert Program Notes Assignment Directions: Using music from your band folder (or memory), select 4 or 5 pieces that you would consider appropriate to have scheduled to be performed at our Spring/End-of-Year Concert. Then, write a descriptive paragraph (i.e. program notes) for each piece that you scheduled to be performed. You may use your favorite piece (descriptive essay you wrote a couple of weeks ago) as one of your choices. What are program notes? Program notes give the audience concise information about the piece of music they are about to hear so that they have a greater understanding of the musical ideas that are being conveyed. I suggest you begin with a ‘Bubble map’ in order to organize your thoughts. Please include the following information in your program notes (4-5 descriptive paragraphs): ○ Composer background - Dates of birth/death, education, other famous works, awards, etc. ○ Cultural significance - What culture does this piece come from, specific musical ideas of that culture, religious importance (if any) ○ Specific information about the piece- Who/what was it written for, other interesting information. ○ What makes it relevant to today’s audience? Below you will find an example of a finished program note (descriptive paragraph) for the piece The Star-Spangled Banner: The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States. The lyrics come from "Defense of Fort McHenry," a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by British ships of the Royal Navy in the Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. To Anacreon in Heaven (or The Anacreontic Song), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. Set to Key's poem and renamed The Star-Spangled Banner, it would soon become a well-known American patriotic song. With a range of one octave and one fifth (a semitone more than an octave and a half), it is known for being difficult to sing. Although the poem has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today. The Star-Spangled Banner was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889, and by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (which was signed by President Herbert Hoover). Before 1931, other songs served as the hymns of American officialdom. Hail, Columbia served this purpose at official functions for most of the 19th century. My Country, 'Tis of Thee, whose melody is identical to God Save the Queen, the British national anthem, also served as a de facto anthem. Following the War of 1812 and subsequent American wars, other songs emerged to compete for popularity at public events, among them The Star-Spangled Banner. Concert Program- 1.

  • Is Now the Time to Retire the Star-Spangled Banner? by Daniel Hathaway
    Is now the time to retire The Star-Spangled Banner? by Daniel Hathaway During the recent demonstrations responding to the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis, a number of monuments were toppled that represented the racist history of the United States. Among them, in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park and elsewhere, statues memorializing Francis Scott Key were pulled down. Key was author of the poem Defence of ​ Fort M’Henry, inspired by the British ​ bombardment in Baltimore Harbor in September 1814, that became the text of The Star-Spangled Banner. Joined to a tune ​ ​ by British composer John Stafford Smith, the song was officially adopted by the U.S. Navy in 1889 and became our National Anthem by resolution of Congress in 1931. The problem with Francis Scott Key, a Baltimore lawyer and district attorney, is that he had owned slaves since 1800. While he went on public record to oppose human trafficking, he also represented the owners of runaway slaves. The problem with his poem is that for 21st-century America, its sentiments seem less and less conducive to uniting a divided nation. The “Star-Spangled Banner” refers to the mammoth flag (originally measuring 30 by 42 feet) with fifteen stars and stripes symbolizing the states that formed the Union at the time. Raised “by dawn’s early light,” the flag, now owned by the Smithsonian Institution, offered proof of an American victory over the British during the War of 1812. Fittingly for the occasion that inspired it, Key’s poem begins with military imagery.

  • Last Night, After Another Wonderful Concert in the Fantastic Setting of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, We Said Goodbye to the Conchord Ensemble
    Last night, after another wonderful concert in the fantastic setting of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, we said goodbye to the Conchord Ensemble. We have had three brilliant days with them, and they were a great hit at Parkland Primary School yesterday morning too. However, we can’t dwell on the past - today we look forward to the concert at Newton with Christian Li and Gordon Back at 7.30pm. This concert is a sell-out, but there may be some returns if you want to try on the door, but we can’t guarantee a seat. Today’s concert is sponsored by Mike and Judy Thompson and by Aston Lark Insurance. We are very grateful to them for enabling us to put on this concert. Many of our concerts this year sold out very quickly. You, as Friends, know the benefits of being a Friend and getting priority booking, and this is becoming more and more important as the popularity of the Gower Festival increases year on year. Therefore, if you have any friends who enjoy coming to the concerts, but are not Friends of the Gower Festival, do encourage them to join us. On Saturday we have two concerts! The first is at 1.00pm at Gowerton School (SA4 3DL) and is a Children’s Concert - a concert for adults and children, at which the performers are all children from Gowerton School and Ysgol Gyfun Gŵyr. Please do come along and support these youngsters if you are able to. Both schools have a strong musical tradition and have produced some notable musicians including Sir Karl Jenkins, Alun Hoddinott, Mark Thomas, Dennis O’Neill, John Hugh Thomas etc.

  • The Star-Spangled Banner from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia "The Star-Spangled Banner " Is the National Anthem of the United States of America
    The Star-Spangled Banner From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "The Star-Spangled Banner " is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from "Defence of Fort McHenry", a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British drinking song, written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. "The Anacreontic Song" (or "To Anacreon in Heaven"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States. Set to Key's poem and renamed "The Star-Spangled Banner", it would soon become a well-known American patriotic song. With a range of one and a half octaves, it is known for being difficult to sing. Although the song has four stanzas, only the first is commonly sung today, with the fourth ("O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand...") added on more formal occasions. The fourth stanza includes the line "And this be our motto: In God is our Trust.". The United States adopted "In God We Trust" as its national motto in 1956. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was recognized for official use by the Navy in 1889 and the President in 1916, and was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1508, codified at 36 U.S.C.

Banner Moments: The National Anthem in American Life Unlike the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, or even the American Flag, Francis Scott Key’s song “The Star-Spangled Banner” lacks a singular icon that defines it. Rather the song must be brought to life through performance. Individuals sing the anthem into a fleeting materiality, simultaneously constructing themselves as a community while inscribing the song ever more deeply into cultural memory. The artifacts in this exhibit capture material iterations of the song and thus record the crystallization of an American national consciousness.

  • Washington Provided Her with a Sketch of an Idea He Had for the American Flag
    Washington provided her with a sketch of an idea he had for the American flag. Ross changed the star from a 6-pointed star to a 5-pointed star. The flag developed consisted of 13 stars arranged in a circular pattern on a blue background in the upper left corner with 13 horizontal stripes, 7 being red and 6 being white. It was not until July 4, 1960 that our current flag was adopted when Hawaii became the 50th star to be added to flag. If this new Country had a flag, they had to have a song! On March 4, 1931, the Star-Spangled Banner was adopted as the national anthem. Francis Scott Key During the war of 1812, Key along with John Stuart Skinner, a British Happy Independence Day!
