He wrote this arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner as a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. He subtitles the arrangement ―A Love Song to Our Country.‖ This is the first IWS performance of this version of the National Anthem, and it is the fourth of Stamp’s compositions to appear on an IWS concert. His Cenotaph will be performed in May. How popular is The Stars and Stripes Forever? At Munich’s famed Hofbrauhaus, the house band plays a familiar work from each nation that has a contingent among the well-lubricated patrons, and when the Americans are invited to stand and parade the flag, this is the piece that is chosen. Sousa wrote the march while aboard a ship bound for New York from London on Christmas Eve 1896, and a bill signed by President Reagan made the miniature masterpiece America’s national march. Not surprisingly, it is the most frequently performed piece in the history of the Indiana Wind Symphony; this is the 39th time it has appeared on one of our concerts. Candide is an operetta written by Leonard Bernstein in 1956 that is based on a short story by Voltaire. It was considered a bust in its first production, but revivals were much more successful. The Overture was premiered as a concert work on January 26, 1957, by the New York Philharmonic, with the composer conducting, and it has become one of the most performed works written by an American composer. The work incorporates several songs from the operetta – Glitter and Be Gay, The Best of All Possible Worlds, Battle Music, and Oh Happy We. Walter Beeler was the Director of Bands at Ithaca College and had Bernstein’s blessing when he transcribed the work for wind ensemble in 1960. This is the third IWS performance of the Overture; the first was here at St. Luke’s Methodist in February 2001 with Charles Conrad conducting. Only a year after the premiere of Candide, Broadway welcomed the premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s most famous composition, West Side Story. The lyrics were provided by a 27-year-old Stephen Sondheim. One of the most memorable moments was the duet sung on the fire escape by Maria and Tony — the Tonight duet. Two longtime St. Luke’s soloists, soprano Ann Conrad and tenor Ken Knowles, recreate this magical musical moment. They have sung this work on numerous occasions with the Indiana Wind Symphony, the first time in February 1999 at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Carmel. French composer Marcel Dupré garnered his greatest fame as an organist at St. Sulpice (recently made famous again in The Da Vinci Code) in Paris. He succeeded his teacher Charles-Marie Widor (whose work will be explored Bassoonist Tereze "Teri" Inveiss graduated from Nathan Hale High School in Wisconsin and then began a varied college education. She began her studies in music education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but switched to a music minor. She finished her undergraduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Bachelor of Science in Education for natural science and biology, with a minor in biology. She went on to receive her Masters in Education at Indiana University. Teri began singing at an early age, before looking for her musical voice in instruments. Starting in fifth grade, she picked up the guitar and then the clarinet; she began playing the bassoon in the seventh grade. Teri joined the IWS as a bass clarinetist at the turn of the century and then switched over to bassoon four years later. Teri enjoys crafts, teaching, playing old Latvian instruments, and composing. In fact, one of her favorite musical moments was conducting one of her own compositions in front of an audience of 900 people. later on this concert) in 1934 and played there until his death in 1971. He performed a series of ten recitals that included the entire organ works of J.S. Bach — played from memory! Dupré wrote Poème Héroïque in 1935, and the work was originally scored for organ soloist, brass ensemble, and percussion. Christopher Walker prepared the edition for organ soloist with concert band, and this is the first IWS performance of the work. Dr. H. Owen Reed celebrated his 100th birthday in Arizona on June 17, 2010. He wrote Missouri Shindig in 1951 and dedicated the work to his parents. He provides these notes: ―Missouri Shindig, which is based on an old square dance tune, Give the Fiddler a Dram, is the composer’s impression of a rural Missouri Hoe-Down. As it opens, there is a gradual development of excitement as the party gets into full swing. The square dancers reflect the various moods of the fiddlers as they become exhilarated, next clownish, then sentimental. The party is momentarily interrupted as the tune How Dry I Am is heard in the distance; however, it is soon in full swing again and the dancing is resumed.‖ Violinist (and flutist) Ann Mozina is a sophomore at Carmel High School and is a flute student of Anne Reynolds. She plays both piccolo and violin in the New World Youth Symphony. This is the first IWS performance of the work, and the ensemble has previously performed Reed’s most famous works, La Fiesta Mexicana and Michigan Morn. The Barnum is the first of three marches that were dedicated to the Barnum & Bailey Circus and its band, and tonight we celebrated the bicentennial of the great America impresario and circus owner Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810–1891). John Joseph ―J.J.‖ Richards dedicated the march ―to my friend Fred Jewell, Bandmaster — Barnum & Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth.‖ Richards served as the solo cornet under Jewell in 1908 and then became the bandmaster for the Ringling Brothers Circus for many seasons. Jewell (1875–1936) was from Worthington, IN, and ran away from home at the age of 16 to join the circus as a euphonium player. He rose through the ranks of circus music to become the Music Director for Barnum & Bailey. His music will be introduced to new generations in April 2011, when the film Water for Elephants is released, as it will contain several Jewell circus compositions. IWS Music Director Charles Conrad is the circus music consultant for the film. This is the first J.J. Richards work to be performed by the IWS. Charles Edward ―C.E.‖ Duble was the epitome of a circus ―windjammer.‖ He played trombone in numerous circus bands for more than four decades, and he wrote dozens of circus compositions. Barnum & Bailey’s Royal Pageant March is typical of Duble’s dramatic and spectacular marches. He was born in Jeffersonville, IN, and was one of the most important circus historians of the mid-twentieth century. This is the seventh Duble work performed by the IWS and this is the first IWS performance of this march. Rossini’s last opera, William Tell, was written in 1829 when the composer was wildly successful at the age of 37. He had made a fortune and decided to retire while he was on top. The overture to the opera is one of the most frequently performed overtures, and the finale will ever be known for its association with the Lone Ranger. Michael Jerg stayed very true to the finale of the overture with his rollicking Wilhelm Tell Gallop, written for xylophone soloist with band. Dan Marquis became principal percussionist with the Indiana Wind Symphony this spring, and when he brought the house down with this piece in our Independence Day performance, we knew we must repeat it on our concert series. Hi-ho Silver, Away! Nessun dorma, the most famous musical moment from Puccini’s final opera Turadot, was the musical signature piece of the great Luciano Pavarotti. Its title is loosely translated as ―none shall sleep,‖ and it refers to the upcoming challenge of riddles that must be faced by Calif if he is to win the hand of the Chinese Princess Turandot. The final word, Vincero, predicts his success and a happy ending to the opera. Ken Knowles is the most frequent soloist in the 13-year history of the Indiana Wind Symphony, and he has sung many memorable performances of this beautiful aria. James Barnes is a favorite composer of the IWS and its Music Director Charles Conrad, who marvels at the composer’s ability to find new and effective textures with wind and percussion instruments. The composer provides these notes: ―Commissioned by Col. John Bourgeois for the United States Marine Band, Fantasy Variations on a Theme by Niccolo Paganini was premiered by the Marine Band at the 1988 Music Educators National Conference Convention in Indianapolis. During the years following its premiere, the band performed this work on several national tours and on its first tour of Russia. ―The set of twenty variations is based on the famous theme of Paganini’s 24th Caprice in a minor for solo violin, which, of course, is the same theme used by Brahms and Rachmaninoff for their famous compositions, as well as by more contemporary composers (such as Lutoslawski and Blacher). For many years I had intended to write a set of variations on this clever theme for wind band, but I was waiting for the opportunity to write it for a really superb group of players, so that I could write whatever I wanted to say without having to allow for the limitations of amateur players. When Col. Bourgeois approached me about writing a piece for the Marine Band, I told him on the spot what my plan was. ―I had been thinking of this piece and improvising portions of it at the piano for so long that, when I finally had the chance to start work on it in late December 1987, I wrote the sketches for it in one week. After completing the piece, I realized why so many composers had used the theme. First, the harmonic progression is much more interesting than the tune itself, but when put together, the melody and harmony are fantastic, and secondly, it is impossible to get the tune our of your mind. When working on it, I couldn’t stop whistling the tune. I would wake up in the middle of the night and hurry to write another variation. I rushed to finish sketching this work so I could get that silly little tune out of my head.‖ This is the first IWS performance of this terrific work, and it joins a long list of major James Barnes compositions that have been played on the ensemble’s concert series. French composer and organist Charles-Marie Widor lived a long life in what had to be a tremendously interesting part of history, both politically and musically. He was born in 1844, as Hoosier native Laura VanderHaeghen began playing the euphonium in the sixth grade, graduated from Lafayette Jefferson High School in 2002 where she studied with Lynn Colwell, and then began studies at Butler University with Dr. Robert Grechesky. She joined the IWS in 2006 after graduating with a Bachelor of Music Education and has been our principal euphoniumist ever since. Laura comes from a musical family. Her brother is a freelance bassist in Chicago, her father was a founding member of a fife and drums corps, and other members of her family are bassists, percussionists, and saxophonists. This summer, Laura extended her musical family by marrying Jacob VanderHaeghen, IWS hornist. musical Romanticism was becoming fully formed, and he lived through the opposing styles of Wagner and Brahms, through the French impressionism of Debussy and Ravel, and well into the French modernism of the composers known as Les Six (who will be the focus of the March concert of the IWS). Widor became the organist at St.-Sulpice in 1870, and he performed on the magnificent Cavaille-Coll instrument. He would remain for 64 years, succeeded by his student Marcel Dupré. As a composer, Widor wrote in a variety of genres, including four operas, but he is primarily known today for his works for solo organ, and his most famous composition is the Toccata, which is the final movement of the Organ Symphony #5, written in 1887. This is the first performance of this work by the Indiana Wind Symphony. Karl King is one of the great American march writers and bandmasters. When he wrote what is arguably his most memorable work, he was just 21 years old and was a euphonium player in the Barnum & Bailey Circus Band under the direction of Edwin ―Ned‖ Brill, who succeeded Fred Jewell in the position. Ironically, Brill is the dedicatee of one of the greatest of circus marches, yet he was considered a very poor circus bandmaster, having spent most of his life playing and directing Minstrel shows. Ladies and Gentlemen — Children of All Ages: We close our concert with Barnum & Bailey’s Favorite. This is the sixth IWS performance of this great classic, and the fifteenth Karl King work played by the ensemble.

The ensemble is made up of seventy members and includes professional musicians, music educators, and serious avocational musicians. The group has presented American premieres of several important works, including Save the Sea Symphony, Concerto for Four Saxophones and Band, and Concerto for Symphonic Band of Hungarian composer Frigyes Hidas; Werner Bruggemann’s piano concerto Rike; Nocturne by Thomas Doss; and Hardy Mertens’ Sinfoniches Variaziones. A highlight of the 2005–2006 season was the world premiere of Czech composer Jiri Laburda’s Symphony #2, and in May 2007, the IWS presented the premiere performance of David Sartor’s Veni Emmanuel. In 1998, the Indiana Wind Symphony recorded original manuscripts from the John Philip Sousa archives. These works, featuring soprano soloist Ann Conrad, were received with high acclaim at the international conference of the Society for the Preservation and Investigation of Band Music (IGEB) in Banska Bystrica, Slovakia. The IWS was featured in a major festival commemorating the 150th anniversary of Sousa’s birth in 2004, and in 2003, participated in the Circus Historical Society’s National Conference, accompanying scholars Dr. Clifford Watkins and IWS Music Director Dr. Charles Conrad in historical circus music presentations. In June 2006, the IWS was featured at the Great American Brass Band Festival and the accompanying Band History Seminar in Danville, KY. The IWS also performs a series of concerts of wind chamber music and has presented American and world premieres of chamber works by Daniel Gall. a lifelong Indianapolis resident, graduated from Arlington High School and attended the IU School of Music, where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Trumpet, studying with legendary trumpet professor William Adam. He earned a Master’s degree in Conducting from Butler University and a Doctorate in Conducting from Ball State University, where his dissertation about Hoosier composer and conductor Fred Jewell was named Distinguished Dissertation by the BSU Alumni Association. Dr. Conrad has conducted ensembles in many states, Scotland, England, Germany, Bulgaria, Austria, Italy, Poland, Holland, France, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. He has presented papers at music history and performance conferences in the United States, Germany, Slovakia, Italy, and Austria. In July 2008, he presented a paper at the International Conference of the musicological society IGEB in Luxembourg. He is the Choir Director of John Knox Presbyterian Church and serves as Music Director of the Lafayette Vintage Brass. He maintains a large private trumpet teaching studio and serves as a faculty artist and adjudicator for the National Trumpet Competition.

He is writing a history of American Circus Music that will be published in 2010 by Scarecrow Press and will write several articles for the upcoming edition of Groves Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians: American Edition. He is married to Carmel High School choral director and soprano Ann Conrad in spite of the fact that he collects antique band instruments and photographs of bands. Brian Hoover started playing the trumpet in 1971, admiring the virtuosity of trumpeters Al Hirt and Doc Severinsen and the smooth vocals of Frank Sinatra and Jussi Bjorling. After graduating from Franklin Central High School in 1977, he studied trumpt with William Adam at Indiana University, graduating in 1983 with a Bachelor of Music Education.
