CAMPUS BAND PROGRAM NOTES American Riversongs Pierre La Plante Pierre La Plante (b.1934) is an American composer.of French-0 Canadian descent. He grew up in Wisconsin, where he was educated, ~ taught music, and performed as a professional bassoonist. The Oberlin High School Band in Oberlin, Ohio commissioned American Riversongs in 1988; The piece is a setting of three American folks songs: "Down the River,"" Shenandoah," and "The Glendy Burk." As "The Glendy Burk travels along, a second theme is c·· introd.uced based on a Creole bamhoula tune-a frantic and rhythmic dance that likely was danced in Congo Square, New Orleans. These particular songs reflect :the culture of French-influenced Louisiana at a time when the rivers and waterways were critical lifelines of an emerging nation. · . CrystalsThomas C. Duffy Thomas C. Duffy (b. 1955) is the director of bands at Yale University. Duffy :r;eceived his bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Connecticut and his doctorate in composition frorn CorneHUniversity, studying under Karel Husa and Steven Stucky. He has served as president of the .New England College Band · .ft1ssodation,.president of the CBDNA (College Band Direct.ors 1 t..1National Association) Eastern Division, president of Connecticut Composers Inc., and is a .member of the American Composers Alliance, BMI, and the American Bandmasters Association . . Crystals was commissioned in 1985 by the Killingly High School Band in Killingly, Connecti.cut. The piece uses many non-traditional musical techniques, such as· half-valve murmurs, tuped crystal· glasses,· and whistling. Duffy provides the following desqiption of each section: "The first Darklce1 combines water sounds with quartal harmonies and a modal melody to s1,1ggest the mystery and terrible majesty of glaciers, icebergs, and things in and under them. The second, Underwater Rubies, again uses water sounds to suggest beams of sunlight ricocheting off gems spilling from a sunken treasure. chest. The third section, Cyanide, is ofa violent and percussive spirit, Which by its brevity mimics the. horrible potency of its namesake. Finally, Monolith aspires to images of huge piles o,fstone and granite, either natural promontories or manmade, such as Stonehenge or th.e · g Ben's tower. Though impres~ionistically blurred and buried, · ( ~ roughout this section one can hear the chiming of Big Ben's ourly bells, sounding from the granite tower high above London." Puszta Jan Van der Roost Jan Van der Roost is a Belgian composer, conductor, and music educator born in 1956. At thelemmens Institute, he received a thorough music education, including a triple laureate diploma for trombone, music history, and music education. In 1979, he continued his studies at the Royal Conservatories ofGhent and. Antwerp, culminating in a diploma for composition. Currently he teaches at the . Lemm ens Institute where he conducts the wind band. His works for band are particularly popular, but he has also written for a wide range of styles and gemes, including oratorios, a guitar concerto, and a lieder cycle for baritone. · · Puszta is Hungarian for an empty, bare,.grassy plain where gypsies used to danct:;. The piece, written in 1988, is subtitled "Four gypsy , .r\lances", though all of the melodies heard are originals .. This lVtternoon, the ensemble will perform the first movement, which has an Eastern European feel in its style and harmonic structure. The fluid motion of the opening leads to a dance melody with a strong and exciting rhythm. Down a Country Lane Aaron Copland · Aaron Copland (1900~1990) was a highly prolific American composer . of ballets, movie scores, piano music; opera, and orchestral scores. A student of Nadia Boulanger, his sound is uniquely American, though he had many European influences, After studying with Boulanger he returned t6America in 1924, and sought a style that "could speak of universal things·in a vernacular of American speech rhythms." . . Down a Country Lane was originally written for piano in 1962. Copland arranged it for orchestra in1965, and this transcription by. Merlin Patterson was completed in 1988. The title was thought of after the piece was completed and was inspired by the piece's flowing quality. His Honor Henry Fillmore · Henry Fillmore (1881~1956) was a prominent American composer· for bandsi particularly marches. He composed at least 256 IIliniatures ·and arranged at least774 others, writing under his own name and seven pseudonyms. Fillmore was known for his incredible enthusiasm for and enjoyment of music; it was said that though thousands enjoyed his performances, no one enjoyed them.more than he himself. }.tiany of Fillmore's marches, overtures, and novelty pieces were composed for various requests and·premieredby his own band. His Honor was a favorite of both Henry Fillmore's band members and audiences alike. The title refers to Cincinnati Mayor Russell · Wilson, a man who impressed the composer with his sense of humor as well· as his executive ability. It was probably played for the.first · time by the Fillmore Band at a concert at the Cincinnati Zoological Gardens in August 1933. Exhibiting unexpected melodic and rhythmic changes, the march is reflective of this spirited and colorful bandsman. , · Christmas Festival Leroy Anderson 0 Leroy Anderson (1908-1975)was born, raised, and educ.ated in Massachusetts. Studying with Walter Piston and Georges Enesco he received his bachelors and masters in music from Harvard. He also received PhDin German and Scandinavian languages from Harvard, and became fluent in Danish, Norwegian,. Icelandic, German, French, Italian,. and. Portuguese in addition to the English and Swedish of his upbringing. His compositions caught the attention of the director of · t. he Bo. ston Pops Orch. estr. a, .and soon h. i~ ID:usical c~.reer and pop. ularit· .. spread. Anderson possessed not only skill m techruque as a compose · but also had an engaging sense of humor. · ... I A Christmas Festival was originally written in 1950 with nine different . Christmas carols, but in 1952, Anderson edited the work and qeated this shorter composition. The piece combines tunes from both the. secular and religious celebration of the holiday. In this composition, listeners will hear Joy To The World, Deck the Halls, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Good King. W enceslas, Hark!
