2 Northshore Concert Band

WELCOME

Dear Audience Member –

We are pleased to welcome you to our final series performance. It is hard to believe that this is our last concert of the season. This has been a year of wonderful musical memories for me, and I hope for you as well.

Ending a season is always bittersweet. Passing in music at the end of the season is like saying good-bye to an old friend, but we are uplifted as we look forward to next season, and the musical opportunities that await us. We are delighted to announce that flutist John Thorne and the seriously fun bassoon quartet The Breaking Winds will be joining us as guest artists next season. We also look forward to performing the Hindemith Symphony; this cornerstone piece for wind ensemble happens to be one of my personal favorites.

Today we will be holding a raffle to support our “Lifetime of Music” initiative. The Lifetime outreach program is an ongoing mission of the Northshore Concert Band. Your contribution will allow us to continue our efforts to enrich, educate, and encourage students to continue their musical pursuits beyond graduation.

As always, we wholehearted thank you for joining us today and sincerely hope that you will be a regular next season. Every week the members of the Northshore Band are stimulated and enriched by our artistic director Mallory Thompson. Her leadership in turn inspires us as we prepare to share with you our audience. Thank you again for your support, we hope to see you in the audience next season.

Sincerely,

Laura StibichNCB Board Chair

Steve Sanders of Chicago’s Very Own WGN Midday

News wishes the Northshore Concert Band a great season!

ABOUT US

The Northshore Concert Band (NCB) is a 100-member adult symphonic band with membership drawn from the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Founded in 1956 by the late John P. Paynter, the ensemble has become internationally known and respected for its musical excellence, membership continuity, and service to music education. Dr. Mallory Thompson, director of bands and professor of conducting at Northwestern University, is NCB’s artistic director. Thompson is in great demand as a guest conductor and clinician throughout the United States and is widely regarded as one of the leading wind conductors in the nation.

NCB performs 10 to12 concerts a year in the Chicago metropolitan area, reaching over 20,000 people. These include a four-concert series at Northwestern University’s Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, educational outreach programs at area schools, many summer concerts at the invitation of various communities and venues, and professional band festivals and conferences. Over the years, the group has worked with many renowned soloists and conductors, including Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, Frederick Fennell, Leroy Anderson, and dozens of musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, including Christopher Martin, John Bruce Yeh, Dale Clevenger, Adolph Herseth, and Mathieu Dufour.

NCB has produced eight CDs and receives playtime on Chicago’s classical music station, WFMT, among others. The band has also toured in Canada and Europe and extensively throughout the United States.

NCB’s mission is deeply rooted in the concept of “community” and in encouraging involvement in music for people at all stages of life. NCB strives to be a leader in performance, educational outreach, recorded works, and new commissions, while reaffirming the heritage of bands in America. Several programs in NCB’s Lifetime of Music initiative help further the band’s educational mission. NCB co-sponsors the Northshore Concert Band/Northwestern University Festival, which annually provides 4,000 Chicago area young musicians the opportunity to perform solos and ensembles, with NCB members serving as judges and clinicians. The band also awards its John P. Paynter Scholarship to an outstanding young musician and invites dozens of talented high school students to perform with the band at the Winter Concert to help encourage young people to pursue their musical endeavors after graduation.

The ensemble’s musicians come from throughout the Chicago area, northern Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, and represent many professional backgrounds. Approximately half are professional music educators; the rest have a diverse set of occupations including business executives, attorneys, and physicians. Musicians range in age from 20 to 85, many with a tenure of two decades or more with the ensemble. All of the musicians are selected by audition and are strongly committed to volunteering their time and talents to the group.

NCB has sponsored three adult band conferences and has published a guide to organizing community bands. The guide has been used by hundreds of community bands over the past 20 years. These community band resources are available for download on our website, www.northshoreband.org.

7Summer Concert

Procession of the Nobles (1889-90) ............................. Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908)

Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) is known for some of the most popular Russian works in the Romantic Era, including Scheherazade, Capriccio Espagnol and Russian Easter Festival, along with fifteen operas. Early in his musical training Rimsky-Korsakov combined his composition and musical work with the Imperial Russian Navy as an officer. He later served as the civilian Inspector of Naval Bands, which incited his interest in woodwind and brass playing, and also as an innovator in orchestration, writing a textbook on the subject. His teaching post at the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 1871 gave him considerable influence over the direction of Russian orchestral music, teaching both the Western European traditions and elements of the Russian folk song with equal emphasis. Over 250 students were included in his 35-year teaching career, including Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Prokofiev, and Ottorino Respighi.

The “Mighty Handful” of famed Russian composers all looked to Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov as the father of this Russian Nationalist style, and he left a great influence on their works, often working with them to edit or revise their pieces. The opera-ballet Mlada was originally conceived as a collaborative work to demonstrate their unity and commitment to the motherland, with each of the four acts to be written by a different Russian composer, in this case Caesar Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Alexander Borodin, and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Circumstances prevailed against them; the work was never staged, and the composers re-used selections from their acts for later projects. Rimsky-Korsakov’s second act opened with a brilliant fanfare of trumpets and percussion to bring on the chorus of a motley, boisterous crowd assembling for the midsummer festival, singing, “The princes are coming! Make way for them, people of Retra!”

PROGR A M NOTES


Acrostic Song (1974) ...................................................................David Deltredici (b.1937)

David Del Tredici, currently a Distinguished Professor of Music at the City College of New York, made Alice in Wonderland the hinge upon which a musical revolution swung. In 1968, when Del Tredici first took up Lewis Carroll’s books as creative catalysts, tunes and tonality in concert music were little in fashion. Though trained in modernist techniques at Berkeley and Princeton, Del Tredici said, “I couldn’t imagine setting a Carroll text to dissonant music,” and he used traditional styles of melody and harmony for what would prove to be a career-defining series of works based on Alice, showing how the language of Straussian late-Romanticism could be renewed and enriched after the post-World War II period of dedicated modernism. Del Tredici has since drawn upon other sources of inspiration for his work, but the lyricism, tonality-based harmonies and glowing sonorities that he rediscovered for Alice in Wonderland have not only remained essential elements of his style, but have also become important forces in much of the new American music of the last forty years.

Del Tredici composed Final Alice for soprano, folk group and orchestra in 1974-1975 on a commission from the National Endowment for the Arts in observance of the United States Bicentennial; Sir Georg Solti conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in the work’s premiere on October 7, 1976 with Barbara Hendricks as soloist. In 1979, Del Tredici made an arrangement for chorus of the Acrostic Song, which closes the work. The composer wrote,

Final Alice, based on the closing chapters of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, tells two stories at once; primary is the actual tale of Wonderland itself, with all its bizarre and unpredictable happenings, which are painted as vividly as possible. But ‘between the lines,’ as it were, is the implied love story of Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell, as suggested by the poems Alice Gray and the Acrostic Song…. When the dream of all that has gone before seems completely dissipated, forgotten, all energy spent — then we hear, sung with quiet ecstasy, the Acrostic Song, the epilogue poem of Through the Looking Glass, the clearest expression of Lewis Carroll’s tender affection for his Alice. The acrostic — a visual device — is rendered aurally by members of the chorus who whisper the initial letter of each line, which spell the name of the ‘real’ Alice: ALICE PLEASANCE LIDDELL.

A boat, beneath a sunny skyLingering onward dreamilyIn an evening of July -

Children three that nestle near,Eager eye and willing ear,Pleased a simple tale to hear -

Long has paled that sunny sky:Echoes fade and memories die:Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise,Alice moving under skiesNever seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,Eager eye and willing ear,Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,Dreaming as the days go by,Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream -Lingering in the golden gleam -Life, what is it but a dream?

Second Suite in F (1911) ...................................................................Gustav Holst (1874-1934)

Gustav Holst (1874-1934), one of Britain’s most prominent composers, was also a professional trombonist and a teacher of composition and organ. His works include symphonies, operas, ballets, chamber music, and songs. Holst was deeply interested in folk songs and used them as the basis for much of his music.

The Second Suite in F for Military Band, composed in 1911, is a four-movement work that uses British folk songs as compositional material for each movement. The opening March includes the songs “Morris Dance”, “Swansea Town” and “Claudy Banks”. The second movement is a lyrical setting of the ballad “I Love My Love”, which tells of a young girl’s grief of being forcibly separated from her love, while the third is “The Song of the Blacksmith”, a lively contrast, telling a story from the point of view of a woman who has been rejected by the object of her affection. The concluding “Dargason” is a country-dance that has descriptions as a “traditional” dance in John Playford’s publication of The English Dancing Master of 1651, and is combined with the well-known “Greensleeves” through a set of brilliant variations of instrumentations, ending humorously with a tuba and piccolo duet.

INTERMISSION

Chorale and Alleluia (1954) ........................................................ Howard Hanson (1872-1958)

Howard Hanson was one of the most important figures in the American musical world, with widespread influence as a composer, conductor, and educator. Born in Wahoo, Nebraska, in 1896, Dr. Hanson studied music at the Institute of Musical Art, New York, and at Northwestern University. 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 director of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. The Pulitzer Prize, awarded to him in 1944 for his Symphony No. 4, is one of many honors and distinctions he received both in this country and abroad.



Chorale and Alleluia was completed in January 1954, and was Dr. Hanson’s first work for symphonic band. It was given its premiere on February 26 at the convention of the American Band Masters Association at West Point with Colonel William Santelmann, leader of the U.S. Marine Band, conducting.

The composition opens with a fine flowing chorale. Soon the joyous “Alleluia” theme appears and is much in evidence throughout. A bold statement of a new melody makes its appearance in lower brasses in combination with the above themes. The effect is one of cathedral bells, religious exaltation, solemnity, and dignity. The music is impressive, straightforward, and pleasingly non-dissonant, and its resonance and sonority are ideally suited to the medium of the modern symphonic band.

Second Prelude (from Three Preludes) (1926) ..........................George Gershwin (1898-1937)

George Gershwin was born on September 26, 1898 in Brooklyn, New York to Russian-Jewish parents. The second of four children, Gershwin became interested in music at the age of ten and was given a piano by his parents, which he took to immediately. At fifteen, Gershwin left school and found his first job as a performer; he published his first song at the age of seventeen. Working among publishing companies, Gershwin’s early composition career included many songs in collaboration with his brother, Ira Gershwin, and lyricist Buddy DeSylva. In the years following, George and Ira came to write several popular musical comedies including Of Thee I Sing in 1931, which won a Pulitzer Prize.

13Summer Concert

1924 saw the composition of Gershwin’s first major classical orchestral work, Rhapsody in Blue. An American in Paris, written in 1928 after a short stay in Paris studying with the renowned Nadia Boulanger and inspired by that time also quickly became part of the standard orchestral repertoire in Europe and the United States. Among his songs and other instrumental works, Gershwin also contributed to the opera genre with the “folk opera” of Porgy and Bess, another standard piece of the classical repertoire today.

The Three Preludes for Piano are the remains of the only solo piano pieces that Gershwin wrote for concert performance. Originally, Gershwin had planned to write twenty-four preludes for this group of works, but this was reduced down to five for its first public performance in 1926 by Gershwin himself. Of the five, three have survived to be performed as a group today, and of the three, the second is the most popular. This slow middle prelude sandwiched between two faster pieces is one of simple form and melody with unmistakable jazz flavor. A subdued bass line introduces the piece with immediate suggestions of conflict between major and minor of the blues scale. Then, a simple “blues lullaby,” as Gershwin referred to it, is laid upon the ebbing harmony, rich in ornamentation and longing. The middle section reverts to a strolling, jaunty tune, almost ignorant of the initial lullaby. Finally, the initial theme returns, ending the piece in a mood of contemplation and introspection.

The Symphonic Gershwin (1924-1932) ...................................arr. Warren Barker

Arranger Warren Barker takes highlights from An American in Paris (1928), Cuban Overture (1932), and Rhapsody in Blue (1924) that demonstrate Gershwin’s intimate familiarity with Tin Pan Alley songs of 1915, and combines them with the musical theatre songs that have become standards in jazz repertory, such as “Fascinating Rhythm”, “Summertime”, and ‘They Can’t Take That Away From Me”.

The Thunderer (1889) ............................................................... John Philip Sousa (1854-1932)

Born in Washington, D.C., John Philip Sousa showed musical aptitude at an early age, beginning studies of violin and harmony at the age of ten, and studying various wind instruments soon after. Sousa joined the Marine Band at the age of thirteen, and later was appointed the band’s leader, a position he held for twelve years before founding his own band. The Sousa Band quickly became the world’s most successful business band, reaching world fame by touring the United States, Canada, and Europe. Among many significant performances, the band was honored to play at the Paris World Exposition in 1900. Recognized worldwide for his band leadership, Sousa soon developed a flair for composition, and particularly for writing marches. In John Philip Sousa: A Descriptive Catalogue of His Works, Sousa scholar Paul Bierly wrote, “If Sousa had a formula for composing successful marches, it was inspired by simplicity.” Sousa said of his own style that, “… a good march must be as free from padding as a marble statue.”

The Thunderer was written in 1889, and contains the dedication “Columbia Commandery No. 2, Knights Templar, of Washington, D. C.”, where he had been ‘knighted’ three years prior as a Templar in the Masonic Lodge. It was one of Mrs. Sousa’s favorite marches. ,Bierly has many theories as to who the “Thunderer” may refer to, with the most likely being that of Mr. Myron M. Parker, one of the organizers of the 1889 conclave. In the second strain of the march, Sousa includes an adaptation of his 1886 trumpet and drum piece, Here’s to Your Health, Sir!
