PROGRAM NOTES

 
Russian Sailors’ Dance
The ballet The Red Poppy was written in 1927 (revised 1949). It deals with an uprising on board a Chinese ship and the successful intervention of Russian sailors. The Russian Sailors’ Dance is the best-known excerpt from the ballet, and is founded on the popular Russian folk tune titled “Yablochka” (“Little Apple”). The dance takes the form of a series of variations on this striking song.

O Mensche, Bewein’ Dein’ Sünde Gross, BWV 622
The unusually long chorale melody, which slowly unfolds before the listener, comes from a hymn from 1525. Extreme austerity would be fitting for the stern tone of the words, but instead Bach indulges in a wealth of ornamentation. It is as if he wants to say: it’s true that we’re a worthless bunch, but we can’t really help it. So rather than giving us a painful clip around the ears, he puts a plaster on the wound.
 
However, we don’t get away that easily. By putting the simple chorale melody in such comforting wrappings, Bach takes the soul even more by surprise with his unexpected harmonic twists and turns. And that was precisely his intention. In his collection of chorale preludes Harmonische Seelenlust from 1733, organist Georg Friedrich Kaufman says it in so many words: the aim of playing chorale preludes in church is to put the congregation in the right mood, so that they will then sing the chorale with even greater devotion. In 1746, Bach’s pupil Ziegler confirmed that that was exactly what he had learned from Bach: “As for playing chorales, my teacher, Kapellmeister Bach, taught me not to play the songs just like that, but in keeping with the meaning (Affect) of the words”.
 
So when, after a chromatic twist, Bach reaches a truly remarkable harmony in the very last bar of O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross, it is not without reason. In this anyway slow work, he reduces the tempo here to adagissimo, so that it becomes clear how terribly long Christ had to hang on that tortuous cross and just how painful it was. It is easy to imagine that the congregation had an enormous lump in their throat when they started singing this chorale.

A Time to Dance
Commissioned by the Space Center Intermediate School Band, Houston, Texas, Gregory Dick, director.
 
For everything there is a season,
and a time for every purpose under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down,
and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
 
Ecclesiastes III
 
Incantation and Dance
The present title of this work suggests a religious orientation, but not towards any of the established religions of a Western or Eastern culture. To the standard deities one offers prayers—incantations are uttered in rituals of magic, demonic rites and the conjuring up of spirits, evil and benign. The opening Incantation is full of mystery and expectation, wandering, unstable and without tonality. The Dance also begins quietly, but percussion instruments quickly begin, one by one, to drive a rhythmic pattern of incredible complexity and drive. As other instruments are added, the dance grows wilder and more frenzied. The brasses hammer out ferocious snarls—the woodwinds fly in swirling scales. Here there is no pretty tune but a paroxysm of rhythm, a convulsion of syncopation that drives on and on, mounting in tension, to a shattering climax of exaltation.
 
Incantation and Dance was premiered as Nocturne and Dance by Herbert Hazelman and the Greensboro High School Band on Nov. 16, 1960. The original version (saved by Hazelman) has several interesting differences, including 31 additional measures. It was programmed at the NBA convention in New Orleans in June 1995 by Robert Pouliot and the City of Fairfax Band.

Manhattan Beach
Following in the footsteps of Patrick Gilmore, Sousa became a popular figure at Manhattan Beach, the famous New York summer resort. One of his most lavish medals was presented to him in 1894 by the proprietor, Austin Corbin, and other shareholders. The previous season, Sousa had dedicated this march to Corbin, and one of his manuscripts is inscribed to him.
 
Sousa once told a reporter that the march had been derived from an earlier composition, probably The Phoenix March (1875): “I wrote Manhattan Beach while playing a summer engagement at that once-popular resort, using as the basis an old march I had composed when I was with Milton Nobles.”
 
Manhattan Beach became a staple of bands all over the world, but the Sousa Band performed it differently by playing the trio and last section as a short descriptive piece. In this interpretation, soft clarinet arpeggios suggest the rolling ocean waves as one strolls along the beach. A band is heard in the distance. It grows louder and then fades away as the stroller continues along the beach.

Courtly Airs and Dances
Courtly Airs and Dances is a suite of Renaissance dances which were characteristic of five European countries during the 1500s. Three of the dances (“Basse Danse,” “Pavane” and “Allemande”) are meant to emulate the music of Claude Gervaise by drawing on the style of his music as well as the characteristics of other compositions from that period.
 
The festival opens with a fanfare-like “Intrada,” followed by “Basse Danse” (France), “Pavane” (England), “Saltarello” (Italy), “Sarabande” (Spain) and “Allemande” (Germany)

An American Elegy
An American Elegy is, above all, an expression of hope. It was composed in memory of those who lost their lives at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999, and to honor the survivors. It is offered as a tribute to their great strength and courage in the face of a terrible tragedy. I hope the work can also serve as one reminder of how fragile and precious life is and how intimately connected we all are as human beings.
 
I was moved and honored by this commission invitation, and deeply inspired by the circumstances surrounding it. Rarely has a work revealed itself to me with such powerful speed and clarity. The first eight bars of the main melody came to me fully formed in a dream. Virtually every element of the work was discovered within the span of about two weeks. The remainder of my time was spent refining, developing and orchestrating.
 
The work begins at the bottom of the ensemble's register, and ascends gradually to a heartfelt cry of hope. The main theme that follows, stated by the horns, reveals a more lyrical, serene side of the piece. A second theme, based on a simple repeated harmonic pattern, suggests yet another, more poignant mood. These three moods—hope, serenity and sadness—become intertwined throughout the work, defining its complex expressive character. A four-part canon builds to a climactic quotation of the Columbine Alma Mater. The music recedes, and an offstage trumpeter is heard, suggesting a celestial voice—a heavenly message. The full ensemble returns with a final, exalted statement of the main theme.

Russian Christmas Music
An ancient Russian Christmas song (Carol of the Little Russian Children), together with a good deal of original material and some motific elements derived from the liturgical music of the Eastern Orthodox Church, form the basis for this musical impression of old Russia during the jubilant Christmas season. Inasmuch as the Eastern Church does not admit instrumental music as part of its services, most of the performances of this liturgical music have been vocal in conception as well as execution.
 
Originally written in November 1944, Russian Christmas Music was first performed in December that year at a special concert in Denver, Colorado, by a select group of musicians from five of the leading service bands stationed in that area. Two years later, the music was revised and somewhat enlarged, and in that form was one of the three prize-winning works in the 1947 Columbia University contest for new serious music for symphonic band. The first performances of this second version subsequently took place in 1948: the first by the Juilliard Band under Donald I. Moore, and the second by the Syracuse University Symphonic Band under Harwood Simmons, to whom the work was dedicated.
