DISTINGUISHED CONCERTS INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK
250 W. 57TH STREET, SUITE 1610
NEW YORK, NY 10107
(212) 707-8566
Notes ON THE PROGRAM
PETER ANGLEA Jubilate Deo
Born in 1988
In Jubilate Deo Peter Anglea’s ebullient
setting of the text (Psalm 100: 1, 2, 5)
encapsulates the Psalmist singing praise
to God. The mixed meter treatment
adds to the vitality of the piece.
PABLO CASALS O Vos Omnes
Born in 1876; Died in 1973
“O Vos Omnes” is adapted from the
Latin Vulgate translation of Lamentations 1:12. It was originally sung as
part of Holy Week services in the
Roman Catholic liturgy, and was often
set, especially in the 16th century, as
part of the Tenebrae Responsories. In
modern times the text is often sung as a
06-11 DCINY_Carnegie Hall Rental 5/25/16 9:45 AM Page 4
motet. Casals’ treatment utilizes dark
coloration through thick textures in the
initial TTBB exposition and throughout
as alto, then soprano voices are added.
Casals also uses pauses for the audience’s contemplation of the Lamentation author’s “sorrow” at the ends of
text phrases.
WILLIAM BYRD Haec Dies
Born in 1540; Died in 1623
“Haec Dies” is an antiphon text associated with Easter Sunday. Byrd’s setting is a delightful six-part treatment
that projects a joyful and energetic
spirit in the interweaving of the
melodic lines.
DAN FORREST Psalm 8: Adonai, Adonenu
Born in 1978
Dan Forrest’s setting of Psalm 8
begins with the ethereal sound of
pianissimo expressions of awe in the
voices and harmonics in the violin.
The piece develops into sweeping
phrases with massive crescendos
before settling back into an attitude of
prayer at the conclusion.
ANDRÉ THOMAS Gloria
Born in 1952
André Thomas’ “Gloria” is a gospel-style
setting of the text from the Ordinary of
the Mass. Thomas utilizes movement and
clapping as well as vocal idioms like slides.
JOHN PHILIP SOUSA Fairest of the Fair
Born in 1854; Died in 1932
John Philip Sousa, the American March
King, composed prolifically at the turn
of the 20th century. His influence in
music made a lasting impact on the future
of American marching and concert bands,
as well as bands around the world.
Fairest of the Fair was inspired by the
memory of a beautiful girl he met at a
fair. Its melodic content makes this March
one of his finest.
PIERRE LA PLANTE A Walk in the Morning Sun
Born in 1943
The composer writes, “While growing
up in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, in the
1950s, some of the first orchestral
music I heard was written by Leroy
Anderson. Although Leroy Anderson
had been composing since the 1930s,
this was the first time when he was
experiencing his greatest commercial
success, and his orchestral miniatures
were a staple on WDOR.” He states,
06-11 DCINY_Carnegie Hall Rental 5/25/16 9:45 AM Page 5
“A Walk in the Morning Sun is a ‘tip
of the hat’ to Leroy Anderson’s
unique style and contribution to American Music.”
GUSTAV HOLST Second Suite in F for Military Band, Op. 28,
No. 2 (Mov. I, II, & IV)
Born in 1874; Died in 1934
Gustav Holst may be best known for
his orchestral work The Planets, but he
also made an indelible impact in the
world of concert band music. Holst’s
Second Suite was composed two years
after his Suite No. 1 for Wind Band.
Both works may very well be pointed
out as some of the earliest wind ensemble literature to gain respect as significant. His experience playing trombone
is quite evident in his writing of this
work, which often uses the low brass as
a vehicle for melodic content. Ironically
though completed in 1911, it was not
premiered until 1922, due to distraction
by other projects he was working on.
In his Second Suite, Holst used seven
Hampshire folk songs as the foundation of the piece. The first movement,
March, features the Euphonium playing
the folk song “Swansea Town.” In the
second half of the movement the woodwinds begin a light 6/8 section that
leads to a reprise of the first half in its
entirety. Song without Words, the second movement of the Suite, uses the
folk song “I’ll Love my Love” as its thematic material. The movement begins
with a clarinet solo that develops into a
full band sound, before descending
through the woodwinds into the tenor
brass, and its final descent into a solo
tuba. In the final movement, Fantasy on
the Dargason, Holst uses the instrumentation of the wind band to its fullest
potential with nearly every section featured at some point. Beginning with a
solo saxophone, the work uses the
familiar tune of “Greensleeves” in the
middle as its main theme. After fully
developing the movement, Holst reduces
the instrumentation to an unlikely duet
between the piccolo and the tuba.
ROSSANO GALANTE A Childhood Remembered
Born in 1967
Rossano Gallante is best known for his
work as a film composer, but more
recently has also composed a number of
works for concert band. Rossano writes,
“This light, lyrical composition captures youth and innocence through the
eyes of a child. Playful melodic lines
interspersed with more lyrical, lush
sonorities will take audiences back to
that simple time of their childhood.” A
Childhood Remembered was commissioned by, and dedicated to, the Hofstra
University Symphonic Band, Dr. Peter
Boonshaft, director.
06-11 DCINY_Carnegie Hall Rental 5/25/16 9:45 AM Page 6
WILLIAM FRANCIS MCBETH Canto, Op. 61
Born in 1933; Died in 2012
One of the most influential composers of
the 20th century, William Francis McBeth
was best known for his “pyramid of
sound” concept, which is consistently
demonstrated throughout his works. In
Canto, McBeth used a number of unique
devices such as clapping and “pitched
blocks of wood” to make the piece come
alive. McBeth uses the folk song melody
“Sakura” as a foundation throughout this
piece. Tonight’s performance is conducted
by assistant director, Nathan Williams.
RANDALL D. STANDRIDGE Imaginarium
Born in 1976
The composer writes, “Inside every
person, there is a place where creativity dwells. Gears turn, dreams flow,
and ideas spark into life. This idea-factory
or ‘Imaginarium’ is the place that every
creative person goes to, again and
again, to find their muse, flesh out
ideas, and to exert change on the
world around them. This piece is dedicated to all of the dreamers who see
more in the world than is actually
there, who see possibilities where others see only dead ends, and who
believe in creation rather than destruction. This one’s for you.”
Imaginarium was commissioned by the
Association of Texas Small School Bands
for our All-State Concert Band in 2015.
It is comprised of four sections: “Sparks,”
where ideas begin to germinate; “The
Cloud Factory,” which represents the day
dreamy zone where one imagines endless
possibilities (with my best nod Eric Satie
as well); “Here, There be Monsters…” is
that moment of panic or nightmare that
all creative people feel when self-doubt
sets in and the task seems too monumental to overcome; a brief recapitulation to
“Sparks” before “Eureka!”—the idea is
fully realized!
NIKOLAI RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Russian Easter Festival Overture
Born in 1844; Died in 1908
Rimsky-Korsakov dedicated this piece
to Modest Mussorgsky and Alexander
Borodin, two composers who, with
Rimsky-Korsakov, Mily Balakirev, and
César Cui, made up “The Five,” a group
of Russian composers dedicated to
establishing a distinct Russian style
within the traditions of Western classical music. Through Rimsky-Korsakov’s
use of melodies from the Obikhod, a
collection of chants from the Russian
Orthodox liturgy, the Russian flavor of
this work is prominent, with RimskyKorsakov describing it in his memoirs:
“…[reminiscent] of the ancient prophecy,
of the gospel narrative, and also a general picture of the Easter service with its
pagan merrymaking.”
06-11 DCINY_Carnegie Hall Rental 5/25/16 9:45 AM Page 7
LEONARD BERNSTEIN Overture to Candide
Born in 1918; Died in 1990
Based on Voltaire’s 1758 novella Candide:
or, All for the Best, Berstein’s operetta
Candide opened to mixed reviews and
closed shortly thereafter. Voltaire’s satirical novella unabashedly explored the
excesses of the Catholic Church’s Inquisition, and Lillian Hellman’s libretto
was seen as a thinly masked attack on
the House Un-American Activities
Committee. While the original overture
was composed for a smaller ensemble, the
later scoring performed here for full
orchestra has become one of Berstein’s
most well-known and often performed
pieces. Weaving together melodies from
throughout the operetta with musical
jokes, this overture has become a favorite
not only to hear, but to perform, as well.
JOHN WILLIAMS The Cowboys Overture
Born in 1932
There are few orchestras as iconically
American as the Boston Pops Orchestra, and when John Williams succeeded
Arthur Fiedler as its principal conductor in 1980, he wanted to open his first
concert with an original piece. Williams
had composed a score for the 1972
John Wayne film The Cowboys, which
painted a picture of the trials and
adventures of a ragtag group of youth
under the tutelage of Wayne’s character
on a 400-mile cattle drive. Taking the
melodies from that score, Williams constructed a traditional orchestra overture that began his lasting association
with Boston Pops.
TETSUYA IMAI Saika kokoro (Mind of Brilliant Festival)
Imagine a scene of the rough waves of
the Sea of Japan surrounding Noto
peninsula, Ishikawa prefecture, Japan.
TETSUYA IMAI Kofuu mai (Blast Dance)
Dance as the wind blows to the beat of the Taiko drums.
TETSUYA IMAI Wajima Taisai (Wajima Grand Festival)
This work is traditionally performed at
the Wajima festival, and has been
arranged for stage performance.
TETSUYA IMAI Meoto hisashi (Longevity Couple)
This composition is merry music, and indispensable for celebrations.

ERIC EWAZEN Fantasia for Taiko and Orchestra (NY Premiere)
Born in 1954
In 2013 world renowned American-born
composer Eric Ewazen accepted a commission from the Colorado Springs Youth
Symphony to compose a work for taiko
drum ensemble and full orchestra. Fantasia was premiered during the group’s tour
of Japan in 2014. Tonight’s performance
represents the North American premiere,
and includes the appearance of Wajima
Wadaiko Toranosuke from Wajima,
Japan, who performed the world premiere. Composed in a concerto grosso
style, the work melds the percussive power
of taiko with the tonality of an orchestra.
