It is an experience. - Magnus Lindberg UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY WIND ENSEMBLE Flute/Piccolo Maria Johnson, Tiffany Scolf, Seth Morris, Angela Clark, Hana Swain Para mí, las tres mejores cosas que hay en el mundo son: la música, la mujer, y la paz. For me, the three best things in the world are: music, women, and peace. Oboe/Cor Anglais Megan Bitzer, Lauren Skelton, Molly Kraus - Joaquin Rodrigo Eb Clarinet Gunnar Hirthe When you are a young composer, you believe in certain things and you hate other things. You see Bb Clarinets Josh Gardner, Liz Berndt, Tabitha Dillinger, Tonya Reeves the nature of music from a very narrow perspective. With me it’s been a case, not so much of liberation, but of tolerating Fabrice Curtis, Dillon Lloyd, Erin Pivonka things much more, of trying to see music-making in this wider perspective – but not pushing it into a kind of populist approach; there has to remain something you can call style. Bass Clarinet Willow Cooper - Magnus Lindberg Contra Alto Clarinet Meagan Scudder The Yiddish culture is about travelling and picking up influences, it’s also about a certain sense of irony, comedy and Saxophones Scott Estes, David Harper, Jim Geiger, Angela Ortega, Doug Drueck, tragedy at the same time. The thing that interests me about trying to write comedy is the proximity of tragedy, they go Stevi Nolan, Stephani Frantz together hand in hand. - Adam Gorb Bassoons/Contra BJ May, Brett VanGansbeke, Kristen Goguen Horns Jenny Kearns, Kelly Kutzlo, Lyunn Lanham, Ginnie Plunkett, Tim Reynish writes: David Sullivan DEVELOPING AN INTERNATIONAL REPERTOIRE Trumpets Jonathan Stites, TJ Thomas, John Tuck, Josef Traver, David Salas, For over two decades I have been closely involved with the work of the World Association for Symphonic Bands & Daniel Jarvis, Kevin Williams Ensembles, WASBE, in developing recognition of new and forgotten works from around the world. This is the second volume in a planned series of discs featuring live performances of major international repertoire, much of it unfamiliar. My Trombones Dave Bubsey, Lee Allen, Valerie Evans, Chuck Morris first concert with the University of Kentucky Wind Ensemble was recorded on 4949-MCD, and featured music from Euphoniums Tommy Johnson, Scott Graham Belgium, Sweden, New Zealand and United Kingdom. This second concert explored works from Finland, Spain, United Kingdom and United States. The series aims at putting on record unfamiliar repertoire which often does not have the Tubas George Pelton, Kyle Hurst, Adam Edwards, Kent Myers advantage of a strong popular appeal nor commercial interest. Percussion Kenneth Metzger, Colin Berner, Kyle Forthoff, Emily Hagihara, Percy Grainger once stated: Ian Murphy, Davy Anderson I firmly believe that music will someday become a 'universal language'. But it will not become so as long as our musical vision is limited to the output of four European countries between 1700 and 1900. The first step in the right Guest Players: direction is to view the music of all peoples and periods without prejudice of any kind, and strive to put the world's Harp Sally Kelton known and available best music into circulation. Only then shall we be justified in calling music a universal language. Double Bass Blake Cooper I believe that he would have welcomed the work of WASBE in developing international contacts and leading us to explore Piano Kim Scott a wider range of repertoire. Out of the nine works played on these first two discs, seven have emerged at WASBE Conferences in the past decade. Concert recorded live at the Singletary Arts Center, University of Kentucky, Lexington EMOTION IN MUSIC Wednesday December 3rd, 2003 David Whitwell, the editor of the WASBE Journal of 1998, wrote in his Preface that we have arrived at a stage of development in wind band performance which exhibits remarkable technical achievement in the performance of Recording Engineer: David Henderson • [email protected] commendable literature, but which nevertheless, often leaves the listener unmoved. Conductor: Timothy Reynish Let me quote Grainger again: Assistant Conductor: Scott Estes Acting Director of Bands: George Boulden Possibilities of the Concert Wind Band from the Standpoint of a Modern Composer 1918 Programme Notes: Timothy Reynish & Adam Gorb No doubt there are many phases of musical emotion that the wind band is not so fitted to portray as is the symphony Programme Editors: George Boulden and Scott Estes orchestra, but on the other hand it is quite evident that in certain realms of musical expressiveness the wind band has Design & Layout: Jason Boldt (MarkArt) no rival. 2 7 As a soloist, Mark has appeared throughout the United States, Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Ireland Mark is Notes Professor of Trumpet at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky.

Adam Gorb writes: Dances From Crete is in four movements and is intended to celebrate the good things in life, drawing much of its material from the dance music from the Greek island of Crete, where many of the ancient Greek myths took place. Timothy Reynish studied horn with Aubrey Brain and Frank Probyn. He was a music scholar at Cambridge, working under The first movement, Syrtos is intended to serve as a portrait of the Minotaur, the famous creature that was half bull, Raymond Leppard and Sir David Willcocks and held principal horn positions with the Northern Sinfonia, Sadler’s Wells half man, and fed upon young men and women who were sacrificed to him every year. He was eventually killed by Opera (now ENO) and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. His conducting studies were with George Hurst, Sir the hero Theseus. The character of this movement is harsh and ruthless. Charles Groves and Sir Adrian Boult on short courses in UK, and with Dean Dixon in Hilversum and Franco Ferrara in The second movement, Tik is a more graceful dance based on the sinuous movements of young women, but it is also Siena. A prizewinner in the Mitropoulos International Conducting Competition in New York, he has conducted concerts with characterised by a certain roughness and is in 5/8 time. Tim Reynish writes that “in this movement the whole the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Hallé Orchestra, the BBC orchestra should feel the pulse like a Cretan Peasant on the threshing floor.” Following on from this the third Regional Orchestras and the London Symphony Orchestra as well as in Norway, Holland and Germany.
