  • Programme Standing Wave’S 2012-2013 Season
    NORTHERNSTANDING WAVE SOCIETY PRESENTS standingVISIONS wave ensemble Tuesday November 6 at The Cultch welcome Welcome to Northern Visions, the first concert of Programme Standing Wave’s 2012-2013 Season. The North, as Glenn Gould called it, “that incredible tapestry of tundra and Two Sides taiga country,” holds a special fascination for many Fabian Svensson [2007] artists, composers, and musicians. Most of the music on flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, percussion tonight’s program has in one way or another, passed through a northern filter. Daniel Janke’s Weather Kalais Coming, is a kind of musical diagram of the complex, Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson [1976] shifting patterns of migratory birds seen overhead in his Yukon home. Thorkell Sigurbjörnsson’s Kalais describes flute, windhose a Wind God from Icelandic mythology. Norwegian composer Rolf Wallin’s The Age of Wire and String, The Light Within based on chapters of Ben Marcus’ audacious book of John L. Adams [2007] the same name, is cryptic yet funny; alienating, yet flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, percussion, tape beautiful. Fabian Svensson’s Two Sides is essentially an argument (actually a near-rumble!), in which the INTERMISSION utterly opposed “sides” circle around one another, speaking the same harmonic language, yet stubbornly The Age of Wire and String and aggressively refusing to agree. Alaskan composer Rolf Wallin [2005] John Luther Adams’ The Light Within, which is based on flute, clarinet, violin, viola, piano the large-scale installation art of James Turrell, serves as a metaphor for the “northern” experience which each 1. Snoring, Accidental Speech piece on tonight’s concert touches on: at first, the music 2.

PROGRAM NOTES Saxophone Concerto Henri Tomasi was born on August 17, 1901 in Marseilles, France, where he developed a fascination with life at sea, and as a child hoped to one day be a sailor. His course quickly changed when his father saw young Henri’s potential as a musician, and enrolled him in the Conservatory of Marseilles. He later attended the Paris Conservatory at the age of 16, and won several prestigious prizes for his works, including the Prix de Rome. He was both composer and conductor, however he later retired as conductor and focused solely on composing. Tomasi composed his Concerto for Saxophone in 1949. It was a competition piece written for Marcel Mule, one of his earlier professors of saxophone in the Paris Conservatory.

Phan December 4, 2017 iii iv CURTIS N. SMITH E Pluribus SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 2017 v Program Notes This piece is about the individual and the collective, and is inspired by democracy. There are two main characters—the ocean of sound, represented most prominently by the strings—especially at the beginning and end, and a tonal chord progression that emerges gradually from the dense cluster at the beginning of the piece. The sublimation of the tonal progression into the cluster and the cluster’s interaction with the tonal progression propel the piece, delineate structure, and act as a type of embodiment for the societal shifts and interactions experienced in a democracy. The tonal chord progression is a quotation and adaptation of the strings part from Charles Ives’s The Unanswered Question. I turn to Ives and this specific piece for three main reasons. First, I had the United States of America in mind while preparing to write this piece and Ives is arguably the founding father of America’s independent compositional voice.

  • An Evening of Video Game Music
    An Evening of Video Game Music The WMGSO is a community orchestra and choir whose mission is to share and celebrate video game music with as wide an audience as possible, primarily by putting on affordable, accessible concerts in the D.C. area. Game music weaves a complex melodic thread through the traditions, shared memories, values, and mythos of an entire international and intergenerational culture. WMGSO showcases this music because it largely escapes recognition in professional circles. The result: classical music with a 21st-century twist, drawing non-gamers to the artistic merits of video game soundtracks, and attracting new audiences to orchestral concert halls.

  • Special Feature
    SPECIAL FEATURE John Luther Adams THEY WERE MY PEOPLE ”I was lucky to have known them when I did . they were my people . and I do not expect to see their kind again.” – John Haines I. Gordon Brooks Wright We are in the middle of nowhere. All the other musicians of the Arctic Chamber Orchestra have flown off to the next stop on our tour of villages in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. With only our backpacks, a duffle bag full of music stands and a pair of kettledrums, Gordon Wright and I are here, alone, waiting for the plane to return. It is early April. The world around us is an endless expanse of white. After the long night of winter, the sun has come back to the North. The morning is resplendent. But the air is cold. So we stand on the south side of the little shack next to the airstrip, basking in the warm light. Everything is golden. Gordon and I will share many such moments in the decades to come. Yet although I can’t yet imagine what a touchstone this golden light will become in the years ahead, even now I’m aware that this is a special moment of grace. I am living a dream. I am twenty- eight years old. Here in Alaska I have found my own Walden – a rough cabin in the boreal forest. I’ve met the woman who will be my life companion, and together we are crusading to protect this place we so passionately love. I’ve composed my first piece for orchestra.
