Now Thank We All Our God Conny Chen, assistant conductor ? During World War II, Eugene Goossens, the conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, commissioned a number of American composers to write fanfares to begin his concerts. Copland's contribution, Fanfare for the Common Man, written in the fall of 1942, was one of the most successful. Copland thought well enough of the piece to incorporate it, four years later, in his Symphony No.3, where it serves as the basis for the introduction to the finale of the work. The Fanfare has been used as the .,. introduction to the Omnibus television series of the '50s and it has been adopted by Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as its radio "theme" music. Born in Brooklyn, Aaron Copland has been called the "dean of American music." He ??r first studied with Rubin Goldmark and then, in 1921, with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. Returning in 1924, he sought a style "that could speak of universal things in a ver? nacular of American speech rhythms." He seemed to know what to remove from the music of the European tradition, simplifying the chords and opening the melodic language, in order to make a fresh idiom. The strains of his ballet and theater scores -Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, and Rodeo-and his orchestral and recital rep? ertory-EI Salon Mexico, Lincoln Portrait, Fanfare for the Common Man, and Quiet City--immediately evoke visions of the beauty and grandeur of his homeland and of it heros and workers. He was a great teacher, whether to the classes of composers at the Tanglewood Festival or to broad-spectrum audiences of laymen. In his later years, he was often called upon to conduct and narrate his own works. It can honestly be said that Copland set America's soul to music. The year 1990 saw the loss of both Aaron Copland and his devoted student, Leonard Bernstein. Percy Grainger began work on Harvest Hymn in 1905 but did not complete it until 1932, scoring it for instrumental ensemble and subsequently arranging it for various 11]RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS MUSIC ........ ((~.~.~.lJ........ Alfred Reed (b. 1921) media. The short work features a simple melody, richly harmonized with stately t chords and decorated counter-melodies. The present transcription is based on the piano solo version made in 1936, with some scoring details taken from the original setting. Percy Grainger was a picturesque nationalist who tried to retain something of the INTERMISSION original flavor of British folk songs and their singers by strict observance of peculiarities of performance such as varying beat lengths and the use of "primitive" techniques such as parallelism. Born in 1882, the son of an architect in Brighton, . Victoria, Australia, Grainger was a precocious pianist. The proceeds from a series of concerts, given at the age of twelve, enabled him to study at Frankfurt for six years, UW WIND ENSEMBLE after which he began his European career as a concert pianist, settling in London in 1901.

Grainger familiar chorale melodies which are placed in an original setting for band. The firstI. Dublin Bay prelude is based on "Ermunter Dich, Mein Schwacher Geist," a Christmas hymn first 11. Harkstow Grange 'I> published in 1641. The text is by Johann Rist, and the tune is by Johann Schop. III. Rufford Park Poachers This tune has been used by many composers, including J.S. Bach in his Christmas Oratorio. The chorale of the second prelude, "Herzlich Tut Mich Verlangen," has IV. The Brisk Young Sailor ~ served as the melody for several texts. It is best known as the Passion Chorale, "0V. Lord Melbourne Sacred Head Now Wounded", but it was originally the melody of a love song, "Mein . , . Vi The Lost Lady Found G'mut ist mir Verwirret," by Hans Leo Hassler, which was published in 1601, J. S. Bach used the tune five times in the St. Matthew's Passion in different harmonic settings, and various composers, including Johannes Brahms, have set this chorale in polyphonic settings. The last chorale, "Nun Danket Aile Gott," first appeared in 1647, with the text by Martin Rinckart and melody by Johann Cruger. J. S. Bach used this chorale in his Cantata for Reformation Sunday. Russian Christmas Music is based on an ancient Russian Christmas carol (Carol of the Little Russian Children) and motives derived from the liturgical music of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This piece serves as a musical impression of Old Russia during the jubilant Christmas season. Although the piece is cast in the form of a single continuous movement, four distinct sections can be recognized. Reed originally subtitled these sections Children's Carol, Antiphonal Chant, Village Song, and the closing Cathedral Chorus. Howard Hanson exerted widespread influence as a composer, condUctor, and educa? tor. At the age of twenty, he accepted an appointment as Dean of the Conservatory of Fine Arts, College of the Pacific in San Jose, CA. In 1921, he was the first composer to enter the American Academy in Rome, having won its Prix de Rome. Upon his return to the United States in 1924, he became the Director of the Eastman School of Music, a position he held until 1964. In 1944, he received the Pulitzer Prize for his Symphony No.4. Hanson's style is romantic, tonal (although enhanced by euphoni? ous dissonances), ~ith asymmetric rhythms at times, and a preference for the low instrument registers. His sense of humor was demonstrated when, shortly after a famous incident when duck feathers descended in the Eastman Theater during the cannonading in Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, Hanson opened a faculty meeting by declaring: "Gentlemen, there is no truth to the rumor that next week the orchestra will play The Water Music!" "Postcard was commissioned by my friend, colleague, and former mentor, H. Robert Reynolds, in memory of his mother, Ethel Virginia Curry. He requested that I com? pose not an elegy commemorating her death, but a short energetic piece celebrating her life. In response, I have composed this brief "postcard" as a musical reflection of her character-vibrant, whimsical, and succinct. It is cast in ABA form. The primary theme, first heard in the flute and clarinet and used in the outer sections, is a palin? drome--that is, it sounds the same played forwards as backwards. This theme honors a long-standing tradition in the Reynolds family of giving palindromic names (such as Hannah and Anna to their children. H. Robert Reynolds' first name is Harrah. The theme's symmetry is often broken, sometimes being elongated, other times being abruptly cut off by unexpected events. Postcard was completed in the summer of 1991 and premiered by the University of Michigan Symphony Band." [Notes by Frank Tichelli) Frank Ticheli was born in 1958 in Monroe, Louisiana. He received his Bachelor of Music in Composition from Southern Methodist College and Masters Degree in Composition and Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Michigan. He is Associate Professor of Music at the University of Southern California and is the Composer-in-Residence of the Pacific Symphony Orchestra. He has composed works for bands, wind ensemble, orchestra, chamber ensembles, and the theatre. His music has garnered many prestigious awards including the Goddard Lieberson fellowship and Charles Ives Scholarship from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters; the 1989 Walter Beeler memorial Composition Prize; the Ross Lee Finney Award; and first prize in the 11th annual Symposium for New Band Music in Vir? ginia. The New York Times has described his music as "lean and muscular and above all, active, in motion." J Conceived and scored for wind band early in 1937, this bunch of "musical wild? flowers" (hence the title Lincolnshire Posy) is based on folk songs collected in Lin? colnshire, England. Each of the movements is intended to be a kind of musical por? trait of the singer who sang its underlying melody. The composition begins with Lisbon Bay, a sailor's song in a brisk meter with plenty of "lilt." Horkstow Grange, the second movement, is named for a pleasantly situated eighteenth-century farm house that stands beside the B-204 road to South Ferriby. Subtitled The Miser and his Man - a local Tragedy, the tune is a requiem for an oppressive overseer and his "man", who couldn't take the abuse any longer and used a club on the miser. Next, The Brisk Young Sailor is a simple tune that tells of one "who returned to wed his True Love." Lord Melbourne is a war song with the lyrics "I am a noble Englishman, Lord Melbourne is my name. I never lost any battle, but won great victory." The set is completed with The Lost Lady Found, a "Dance Song" that tells the story of a woman stolen by gypsies. Her uncle is suspected of doing away with her in order to acquire her estate. Her sweetheart, searching everywhere, eventually finds her in Dublin. Returning home, the pair arrives in time to prevent the uncle's hanging for the alleged crime.
