Miss Linda Kellam: Director
Freedom City.......................................................................................Karl L. King
Karl L. King was born in Paintersville, Ohio, in 1891. He spent his childhood in Canton where he began his
musical studies on cornet and later euphonium. An accomplished performer at only nineteen, King joined
Robinson's Famous Circus as a baritone soloist. The circus gave him the opportunity of performing a wide
variety of styles. His experience as a performer helped make him a master of writing music to match the circus
acts. He quickly rose to leadership positions in some of the most famous circus bands in the country including the
Barnum and Bailey Circus. When he finally put down his pen after 50 years, he had published over 300 musical
compositions - not counting the ones he had given away or not bothered to publish. Many of his works were
written in tents by the light of a flashlight or kerosene lantern. He was at his best when music was needed at a
moment's notice. Freedom City was written in 1956 for inclusion in his march book The Liberty March Folio.
Concert Band Continued
Freedom, Justice, Honor...........................................Robert Longfield

Cenotaph......................................................................................................Jack Stamp
A Cenotaph is a monument or tomb honoring a dead person whose body is buried somewhere else. The
Washington and Lincoln Memorials are both examples of these structures. This work emphasizes the strength &
honor found inside of these monuments and the power to endure through the ages.
Godspeed
(The Millennium).........................................................Stephen
Melillo
Within its time compressed boundaries of 5:55, much happens. There is youthful exhilaration, the flight of an
inviolable spirit, hectic confusion and innocent zeal. Amidst the flurry and flash, comes a reverent prayer and an
ode to that which is forever quiet and most still. There is the confident assertion of ideals and an ever-present vow
to take on Life’s challenges. There is hope and daring, introspection and sorrow. Fun is married to courage.
Darkness is overwhelmed by light. And in the final hours of our century we courageously look towards the new
millennium.
notes by Stephen Melillo.
Variations on a Shaker Melody........................................Aaron Copland
Sheep May Safely Graze from Cantata no. 208................................... J. S. Bach
arranged by Alfred Reed
With a background which boasted approximately 200 musical ancestors, it is not surprising that Johann
Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) developed a keen interest in music at an early age. He mastered the violin and clavier
and devoted himself to the study and mastery of the organ. As court organist in the town of Arnstadt at the age of
eighteen, Bach became interested in composition, devoting every leisure moment to improving his skills. A devout
Lutheran, Bach, like his fellow baroque composers, felt that everything a man does and believes is religious. He
believed that music and art helped protect people against the advance of doubt bred by Renaissance ideas of scientific,
rational inquiry. During his lifetime Bach was more famous as an organist and court musician than as a composer. The
people of his time considered his baroque compositions too elaborate. His works were largely unknown until
rediscovered some eighty years after his death. We are fortunate to enjoy them now as his legacy.
Christmas Music for Winds........................................................John Cacavas
conducted by Mr. Chad Guess, Student Teacher, The University of Akron
This set of variations on the Shaker melody ‘Tis the Gift to Be Simple was derived by Aaron Copland from his
1944 ballet “Appalachian Spring” which was composed in collaboration with choreographer Martha Graham. The
Shaker melody provided the sense of youth, optimism, hope and the American spirit. This year would have been
Aaron Copland’s 100th birthday.
Stille Nacht.............................................................................................Chip Davis
arranged by Robert
Longfield
On December 24, 1818, Joseph Moore, the curator of a parish in Oberdorf, Austria, gave a poem that he had
written to a friend of his, Franz Gruber, who was also the choirmaster of the church. He asked Mr. Gruber if he would
write music for his poem; and that he might write it for two voices and guitar accompaniment. The organ was
broken and he desperately wanted some music to be part of the Christmas Eve Service. Mr. Gruber wrote the melody
to a song which has become the most beloved of all Christmas carols, Stille Nacht, or in English, Silent Night.
Although this version, modeled after a Mannheim Steamroller arrangement uses the symphonic band with
additional synthesizer, piano and vocal effects, the beauty and simplicity of the original carol is readily apparent.
