Leroy Anderson Stefan Heck ’09 Undecided Schaefferstown PA (1908 - 1975) Tina Toburen ’08 Psychology Monroe MI First Suite in E-flat for Military Band Holst Composed First Suite in 1909. It is generally regarded as the cornerstone of all works written expressly for concert band. First Program Notes Suite was a revolutionary piece when it was first performed in 1920, breaking away from the customary tradition of transcribing National Emblem operatic and orchestral repertoire for bands. The First Suite is composed in three movements: I. Chaconne - formed around 14 Many listeners mistakenly believe that National Emblem is a Sousa march due to its similar style and the precision with which it was repetitions of the opening tuba/euphonium melody; II. Intermezzo - presentation of three distinctive melodies which combine for written. Many times throughout the piece remnants of the National Anthem can be heard trying to break through - and for much an initially energetic then morendo conclusion; and III. March - consisting of two wonderful melodies, the first lively and energetic and the second expansive and feelingful of the piece brass is given the melody while reeds contribute the harmony, opposite to many musical pieces. As Fennell says, “It is a march for marching, music for the feet, not for the head, and it is unmistakably music for the spirit!” Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham, England in 1874 and died in London in 1934. He was born into a long line of German Edwin Eugene Bagley was born in 1857 in Craftsbury, Vermont and died in 1922 in Keene, New Hampshire. He played in multiple musicians and chose to follow the tradition, starting at a young age. Holst attended the Royal College of Music where he studied bands throughout New England, focusing mainly on the baritone and trombone. Bagley published National Emblem in 1906 and with composer-conductor Sir Charles Stanford. He later became a member of the Carl Rosa Opera Company Orchestra and Fennell (former conductor at the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester) created this edition in 1981. toured with the Scottish Orchestra. Holst composed many choral part-songs, song cycles, operas and orchestral pieces throughout his lifetime.
