JOHN BARNES CHANCE (1932-1972) PROGRAM NOTES JOSEPH DOWNING is currently Associate Professor of composition at Syracuse University. He wrote the SYMPHONY FOR WINDS AND PERCUSSION as a doctoral student in composition at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. Premiered by the United States Army Band in 1985, the piece received the Ameri - can Bandmasters Association/Ostwald Award for band composition, an award presented annually since 1956 in recognition of outstanding contributions to wind literature. The SYMPHONY FOR WINDS AND PERCUSSION is a three-movement work. The first movement, ?Dancing Day,? features a lively theme that vacillates between compound and simple meter contrasted with a second theme presented in strict com - mon time. The middle section, derived from an organ w ork by 18th century composer Ludwig Krebs (and giving a nod to Downing?s own background as an organist), juxtaposes Baroque counterpoint in the woodwinds with discordant fragments from the brass and percussion as they interject thematic elements from elsew here in the symphony. The conclusion of the movement superimposes each of the themes in a boisterous polymetric soundscape. CHARLES IVES was born in Danbury, Connecticut on October 20, 1874, as the son of a Civil War band - master. With his father?s guidance, Ives experimented with all kinds of musical and acoustical sounds. His father encouraged him to "stretch his ears" by exposing him to polytonal performances of "Swanee River" and to contraptions that played quartertones. Ives was also instructed to sing a tune in one key while his father accompanied him in another. At the age of thirteen, Ives became a church organist and, later, entered Yale University where he studied composition with Horatio Parker until 1898. Interest- ingly, Ives chose to become an insurance executive rather than a professional musician; he composed his music outside of "business hours". In his music, Ives employs modern techniques such as polytonality, atonality, polymetric patterns, tone clusters, and microtones, which he us ed on such traditional musical works as hymn tunes, patriotic melodies, and rags. His music incorporates and memorializes America?s music and life, both sacred and secular. Some of his works for band include Country Band March and Variations on America. Son of a Gambolier, Songs My Mother Taught Me, and Circus Band appear in a volume of his songs entitled " 114 SONGS" which Ives saw as a consciously ordered progression of musi cal and poetic thoughts and an autobiographical journey. - Note by Dr. Matthew Mailman WARREN BENSON was one of America?s most prominent composers. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Benson was a musician from a very young age, playing timpani professionally at the age of 14. He attended the University of Michigan, also playing timpani f or the Detroit Symphony throughout his undergraduate years. Benson spent the majority of his career at Ithaca College as Composer -in-Residence and Eastman School of Music as Professor of Composition. He was responsible for developing the modern percussio n ensemble and was the founder of the Percussive Arts Society. Benson composed over 150 pieces for wind ensemble, orchestra, chamber ensemble and solo instrument. His compositional style is known for its ?layered orchestration, engaging harmonic chromaticism and multi-rhythmic motifs.? THE SOLITARY DANCER encompasses each of Benson?s trademark compositional elements. In the pub - lisher?s program notes, THE SOLITARY DANCER is described as: ?quiet, poised energy that one may observe in a dancer in repose, alone with her inner music.? The percussion section provides a driving, yet quiet, base for the wind players. Benson?s use of percussion is prominent and un-interrupted. The wind section is asked demonstrate a high level of restraint and transparency a s it moves through several themes of shifting emotions. Benson does a masterful job of allowing the listener to experience the evolution of a dancer?s thoughts from beginning to end. DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH is considered one of the most significant composer s of the 20 th century. His out- put includes highly regarded symphonic and chamber works created against the backdrop of Stalinist Russia. Once shunned by Western scholars for his apparent endorsement of Soviet policies, his work has been recently reconsidered as a veiled musical critique of political disaffection. FOLK DANCES originally appeared among incidental music composed for the 1942 variety review Native Country. The music proved so popular that Shostakovich recast it as the stand -alone orchestral suite, Native Leningrad. In FOLK DANCES the composer combines a series of folk melodies into a brief single -movement piece. The more formal opening section, in which the appearance of a main theme is alternated with contrasting melodic material, quickl y gives way to an increasingly spirited string of tunes that appear only once before yielding to yet more melodies and faster tempi. Professor JAMES BARNES, a member of both the History and Theory -Composition faculties at the Univer - sity of Kansas, teaches orchestration, arranging and composition courses, and wind band history and rep - ertoire courses. At KU, he served as an Assistant, and later, as Associate Director of Bands for 27 years. Barnes has twice received the coveted American Bandmasters Associa tion Ostwald Award for outstand - ing contemporary wind band music. He has been the recipient of numerous ASCAP Awards for compos - ers of serious, the Kappa Kappa Psi Distinguished Service to Music Medal, the Bohumil Makovsky Award for Outstanding College Ba nd Conductors, along with numerous honors and grants. He has recorded three commercial compact discs of his music with the world famous Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. More recently, he completed a CD of his works with the Koninklijke Militaire Kapel (The Qu een?s Royal Military Band) in Holland. He has also been commissioned to compose works for all five of the major military bands in Washington, DC. A recent CD by the United States Air Force Band fea - tures his Third Symphony. Describing PAGAN DANCES, the composer writes: The PAGAN DANCES completes the cycle of four ?primitive? works for symphonic band I began with Visions Macabre in 1978, followed by Invocation and Toccata in 1980, and Torch Dance in 1984. All of these works employ highly dissonant harmonic combinations, repetitive melodic material, and driving rhythm to showcase the symphonic band?s immense power and dramatic color combinations. This suite is intended to portray an imaginary scene from prehistoric times as if it were a scene from a ballet. It begins with the entrance of the worshipers performing a Rit- ual dance before their idol god. VINCENT PERSICHETTI was a significant personality in American classical music. As a composition teacher, he served long tenures at the Philadelphia Conserv atory and the Juilliard School. As a theorist, he became famous for his textbook on twentieth century harmony, in which he proposed "Any tone can succeed any other tone, any tone can sound simultaneously with any other tone or tones, and any group of tones can be followed by any other group of tones." Persichetti's work as a composer has been no less far -reaching, due not only to his creative approach to harmony and theory but also to his willingness to compose extensively for the wind band, for which set him apart from his contemporaries and many of the great composers that have followed. Many band directors believe that "[band] conductors are indebted to him for his efforts during the struggle for professional recognition of the band.? Upon presenting PSALM FOR BAND at its premiere with the University of Louisville Concert Band, Persichetti wrote the following: PSALM FOR BAND is a piece constructed from a single germinating harmonic idea. There are three distinct sections - a sustained chordal mood, a forward moving chorale, followed by a paean culmination of the materials. Extensive use is made of separate choirs of instruments supported by thematic rhythms in the tenor and bass drums. Hungarian composer FRIGYES HIDAS studied composition at the Buda pest Academy of Music from 1946 to 1951 with J?nos Visky and subsequently became the musical director of the National Theater in Buda - pest until 1966. He wrote works for opera, ballet, chamber music, and concert band. His compositional style is rooted in Romanticism combined with elements of folk music. MERRY MUSIC was one of his first compositions for wind band. It is a light-hearted work, incorporating a folk -like melody with elements of rhythmic syncopation, creating a general sense of playfulness th roughout. ANDREW BOYSEN, JR. is presently assistant professor of music at the University of New Hampshire, where he conducts the wind symphony and teaches conducting, composition and orchestration. He maintains an active schedule as a composer, receivin g commissions from the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library, the Cedar Rapids Metropolitan Orchestra Festival, the Iowa All -State Band, the Rhode Island All-State Band, the Nebraska State Bandmasters Association, and many university and high school con- cert bands across the United States. Boysen won the International Horn Society Composition Contest in 2000, the University of Iowa Honors Composition Prize in 1991 and has twice won the Claude T. Smith Memorial Band Composition Contest, in 1991 for I Am and in 1994 for Ovations. Boysen has several published works with the Neil A. Kjos Music Company, Wingert -Jones Music and Ludwig Music, including pieces for band, orchestra, clarinet and piano, and brass choir. Recordings of his music appear on the Sony, R-Kal, Mark, St. Olaf and Elf labels. Of this evening?s work, Boysen writes: SONG FOR LYNDSAY is a very personal work, with a great deal of meaning to me. The musical materials for the work are mostly derived from a short piano piece that I wrote for my wife, Lyndsay, in 2005. Although the structure of the work is much more complex than its forerunner, Song for Lyndsay is still more than anything else a simple love song dedicated to Lyndsay and what she has meant in my life. JOHN BARNES CHANCE was born in B eaumont, Texas and began composing as a high school student, while playing percussion in the school band and orchestra. After studies at the University of Texas, Chance played with the Austin Symphony Orchestra, and also performed with the Fourth U.S. Arm y Band in San Antonio and the Eighth U.S. Army Band in Korea. From 1960-1962, through a grant from the Ford Foundation?s Young Composers Project, he was composer-in-residence in the Greensboro, North Carolina public schools. It is there that he composed seven pieces for school ensembles including INCANTATION AND DANCE a work of two contrasting sections. The Incantation section opens with a mys - terious and haunting melody played by the flutes. The Dance also begins quietly. However with the addition of p ercussion and brass it rapidly takes shape, coming to life with syncopated rhythms and active interplay between the different sections of the band.
