Stanton Management Stanton Management American Brass Quintet 54 th Season 2014 – 2015 www.AmericanBrassQuintet.org The New York Times has written (12/02/2013) that “ among North American brass ensembles none is more venerable than the American Brass Quintet,” while Newsweek has hailed the ensemble as “ the high priests of brass” and American Record Guide has called the ABQ “ of all the brass quintets, the most distinguished.” Through its acclaimed performances, diverse programming, commissioning, extensive discography and educational mission, the American Brass Quintet has created a legacy unparalleled in the brass field. The American Brass Quintet, 2013 recipient of Chamber Music America’s highest honor, the Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award for significant and lasting contributions to the field, is internationally recognized as one of the premier chamber music ensembles of our time, celebrated for peerless leadership in the brass world. The ABQ's rich history includes performances in Asia, Australia, Central and South America, Europe, the Middle East and all fifty of the United States; a discography of nearly sixty recordings; and the premieres of over one hundred fifty contemporary brass works. ABQ commissions by Robert Beaser, William Bolcom, Elliott Carter, Eric Ewazen, Anthony Plog, Huang Ruo, David Sampson, Gunther Schuller, William Schuman, Joan Tower, and Charles Whittenberg, among many others, are considered significant contributions to contemporary chamber music and the foundation of the modern brass quintet repertoire. The ABQ’s Emerging Composer Commissioning program has brought forth brass quintets by Gordon Beeferman, Jay Greenberg, Trevor Gureckis, and Shafer Mahoney. Among the quintet’s recordings are eleven CDs for Summit Records since 1992 including the ABQ’s 50 th Anniversary release State of the Art—The ABQ at 50 featuring recent works written for them. Committed to the promotion of brass chamber music through education, the American Brass Quintet has been in residence at the Aspen Music Festival since 1970 and at The Juilliard School since 1987. Since 2000 the ABQ has offered its expertise in chamber music performance and training with a program of mini-residencies as part of its regular touring. Designed to offer young groups and individuals an intense chamber music experience over several days, ABQ mini-residencies have been embraced by schools and communities throughout the United States and a dozen foreign countries. Current members of the quintet are Kevin Cobb, Louis Hanzlik, Eric Reed, Michael Powell, and John D. Rojak. 620-563-7312 http://stantonmgt.com Stanton Management American Brass Quintet Selected Foreign and Domestic Reviews “The American Brass Quintet filled the cathedral Tuesday evening with a range of color and sound that was astonishingly rich and varied...just as impressive was the variety of music involved, taking in its string works from the fifteenth century to present day...show players with the verve and power of this fine quintet. The London Times “They are doing for brass what Italians did for pasta.” GLAM Adelaide (Australia) “The five American virtuosos don’t seem to have any technical difficulties whatsoever; they play neck-breaking passages so self-assuredly and easily, as if they were playing flutes or clarinets. The bravura of their solo playing multiplies itself in the super bravura of their ensemble playing.” Badische Zeitung “This group is of a very high caliber, especially regarding technical mastery and musicality of each member and the intelligence, sensitivity and refinement of the interpretations…the American Brass Quintet possesses, moreover, an art of nuance of which it seems extremely difficult to find many examples.” La Provencal “One of the strengths of their programming is a focus on performing music specifically written for brass quintet – no ham-fisted arrangements of light classics here. Their longstanding commissioning of contemporary American composers has left an impressive legacy of repertoire for themselves and other ensembles.” Sydney Morning Herald “The program was clearly the result of careful preparation…the performance both from an individual and ensemble viewpoint was exemplary, and in addition a noble one in quantity and quality, the group pays rewarding attention to dynamic gradation.” Western Mail (Wales) “Friday's program, eclectic and well-chosen, superbly demonstrated the group's virtuosity, which cast a truly magnetic force on the enthusiastic audience.” Journal de Brasil “It is quite impossible to overpraise the playing of the American Brass Quintet...they have everything...brilliance, attack, perfect ensemble and intonation, and a tone quality of unrivaled purity, range and power. For one listener in a long and full career of over half a century, this concert was a unique experience.” Daily Telegraph, London 620-563-7312 http://stantonmgt.com Stanton Management “A spectacular demonstration of ensemble virtuosity. The brilliance of their playing is matched by the extraordinary sonics: crystalline definition, airy spaciousness, superb presence and an overall clarity that is positively breathtaking.” The New York Times “The High Priests of Brass.” Newsweek “The tone here was to die for…their dynamic shading was exemplary…it was their pianos that told far more than their fortes.” Limelight Magazine (Australia) “The members of the American Brass Quintet breathe as one, provide effortless well-matched phrasing, and generally produce a superbly balanced, fine golden sound.” Los Angeles Times “What the American Brass Quintet seemed intent on proving was that anything their instrumental relatives can do, they do as well, or better. No texture, speed, tonal color or dynamic seems to be beyond their means. They sustain whispy pianissimos as easily as deafening fortissimos, and toss off trills with awesome nonchalance. They have an astonishing variety of tonal attacks, and can negotiate melodic passages of a convoluted rapidity that would frighten a coloratura soprano.” The Washington Post “The American Brass Quintet is probably this country's most distinguished ensemble of its kind now appearing before the public. The Rolls-Royce of brass quintets.” Baltimore Sun “Suffice it to say that the ABQ virtually invented the modern brass quintet. This release...shows their collective virtuosity burning brighter than ever. Excelsior gentlemen.” FanFare Magazine “What the ABQ seemed intent on proving was that anything their instrumental relatives can do, they do as well, or better.” The Washington Post “Describe the ideal in brass playing and you’re talking about the kind of sound and ensemble produced by the American Brass Quintet.” San Francisco Examiner “The members of the American Brass Quintet breathe as one, provide effortless well-matched phrasing, and generally produce a superbly balanced, fine golden sound.” Los Angeles Times “Brass quintets are, by their very nature, brilliant to the ear. When reinforced by superb performance the effect is positively dazzling. This is what happened when the American Brass Quintet played.” Denver Post 620-563-7312 http://stantonmgt.com Stanton Management American Brass Quintet Discography Recordings by the American Brass Quintet Snapshot (Summit DCD 617)* Wks by Gureckis, Mahoney, Morley, Widmann, Ward State of the Art: The ABQ at 50 (Summit DCD 553)* ABQ works of the new millenium (2 cd set) Jewels (Summit DCD 484) Wks. by Lacerda, Lovelock, Needham, Sacco, Sampson, Rieti.

  • A Curriculum for Tuba Performance in a Commercial Brass
    A CURRICULUM FOR TUBA PERFORMANCE IN A COMMERCIAL BRASS QUINTET BY PAUL CARLSON Submitted to the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Doctor of Music, Indiana University December, 2013 Accepted by the faculty of the Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. ___________________________________ Daniel Perantoni __________________________________ Kyle Adams __________________________________ Jeffrey Nelsen __________________________________ John Rommel ii Preface While a curriculum for any type of performance could be synthesized by theoretical reasoning based upon knowledge of how to learn any new genre or style of music, it is tradition that students turn to leaders in the field to gain insight and knowledge into the specific craft that they wish to pursue. While pure scholarship and study of a repertoire is an excellent way to gain insight into a performance arena, time spent in the field actually performing a certain style of music as a member of a professional ensemble gives a perspective that is intrinsically valuable to a project such as this. In addition to the sources listed in the bibliography and the extensive research done concerning this project, I have been a member of the Dallas Brass Quintet since September of 2010. I currently continue to serve as their tubist. Being a member of this ensemble, which is one of the most active touring commercial styled brass quintets in existence today, has greatly informed me concerning this project in terms of the demands of this type of performance. As I prepared to write this document, I took inventory of the skills and preparation that have allowed me to perform successfully in a commercial brass quintet.

  • Works by Martin Bresnick, Mel Powell, Ronald Roseman, Ralph Shapey
    Works by Martin Bresnick, Mel Powell, Ronald Roseman, Ralph Shapey New World 80413-2 The woodwind quintet is to the wind instruments as the string quartet is to the strings. Composers have treated the heterogenous ensemble of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and horn as a unity for so long now that it has become a musical commonplace. The challenge in composing for the woodwind quintet is to weave a consistent musical fabric while respecting the disparate characters of the five instruments. The four composers represented on this recording meet this challenge with imagination and mastery. Ronald Roseman (born 1933 in Brooklyn, New York) is well known as an oboist, with over fifty-five solo and chamber recordings to his credit. He is also a composer whose teachers were Henry Cowell, Ben Weber, Karol Rathaus, and Elliott Carter. He is currently a professor at Yale, Queens College, and The Juilliard School. Roseman's Double Quintet for woodwind and brass was written in 1987 on commission from Yale's Norfolk Chamber Music Festival and is dedicated to Joan Panetti, the director of the festival. The Double Quintet opens with a moody slow introduction followed by an Allegro energico, reminiscent of Stravinsky's Octet and Symphonies of Wind Instruments. Here neoclassical gestures are supplemented by several quasi-improvisatory and extended instrumental techniques. All ten players are given a chance to shine in solos, and there is plenty of virtuoso passagework. The Adagio mesto creates a mournful misterioso atmosphere with low muted brass supporting exotic wind melodies. As in the first movement, there is judicious use of techniques culled from the notational and orchestrational experiments of the Sixties and Seventies.

  • Northwestern University the Tubist's Guide to the Brass
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY THE TUBIST’S GUIDE TO THE BRASS QUINTET: A SURVEY OF HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES A RESEARCH DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Tuba Performance By Thomas Walsh Curry EVANSTON, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2015 2 ABSTRACT The Tubist’s Guide to the Brass Quintet: A Survey of Historical Developments and Performance Techniques Tom Curry Since the standardization of the modern brass quintet in the middle of the twentieth century, extensive research has been dedicated to the history of the genre, ensembles which have promoted and advanced brass chamber music and the growing body of original brass quintet repertoire. Such scholarship has provided practical benefits to performers and reflected the increased validity of the brass quintet as a chamber music entity equal to that of its string and woodwind counterparts. No instrument has benefitted more from the progress and recognition of the brass quintet than the tuba. Despite this fact, relatively little scholarly activity has been devoted to the specific demands and applications of the tubist’s role in brass quintet performance. The current study serves as a performer’s guide for the tubist in a brass quintet. Following a brief introduction, the second chapter provides historical context by studying several ensembles and individuals who developed the genre of brass chamber music and the tuba’s function therein. Based on writings, interviews and recordings of these and many other preeminent chamber musicians and pedagogues, Chapter Three includes an overview of equipment considerations and elements of tuba performance unique or relevant to the brass quintet setting.

Luca Marenzio, who was so admired in his lifetime that he was referred to as “the sweetest swan” and “the divine composer”, was the greatest of the Italian composers whose fame lies entirely on their madrigals, his output including more than 500 works.
