The Chase is a fun, energetic romp for two bassoons and piano. Inspired by watching ducks and geese chasing each other around a park, The Chase will keep all three players busy with pointillistic figures, delightfully disjointed melodic lines, and driving rhythmic figures. Originally composed for a larger, multi-movement work entitled The Duck Park Suite, this lighthearted trio stands alone and is a great finale to any recital. The Chase is sure to send the audience and performers away happy...and perhaps with a newfound waddle in their step!

This impression of the hustle and bustle of a busy city day and one's chase to accomplish their daily goals offers many opportunities for the development of the performer's musical skills. Starting aggressively before moving to a short reflective section, one can easily see the day unfolding.Balance between the percussion section and ensemble is essential to an accurate performance of City Chase. Careful attention to ensure that the melodic lines are heard and not covered by accompaniment will bring the composition to life. It is important to maintain the stylistic difference between staccato and legato lines so that the contrasts can be heard.I hope you enjoy your own chase through the city!

Chase the Horizon is a musical journey depicting a lonesome cowboy riding on his horse, chasing the horizon. Composer John Pasternak has delivered a strong and musically rewarding piece for the young band. It begins with a nice legato section before setting off on the journey with a tuneful theme. The piece develops through several contrasting sections finishing in a dramatic conclusion.
This piece is a story of new beginnings. While writing this piece I pictured a lonely cowboy riding on his horse, chasing the horizon. The beginning for this piece should have a very legato feel except for the Xylophone part, which should use a very abrupt, staccato articulation. Measure 9 should take on a staccato and light feel. The feeling should remain light except for the instruments with the melody, who should play their parts with a more legato feel. Dynamics throughout this first section are crucial. All parts at m. 22 should play with a legato style with focus on the dynamics. The trumpet interjection at m. 25 should be played very light. At m. 32 there should be contrast with all the different styles of articulation. Measure 42 should not slow down too quickly as the group should not ever get slower than the tempo marking at m. 49.The slow section at m. 49 should be played soft with a legato style growing gradually through m. 61. The articulation at m. 61 should be short and staccato, and be careful not to rush. The sections with the melody here should contrast the staccato of the ensemble with a legato style. When the ensemble arrives at m. 78 the piece should have a maestoso-style feel. The rit. at m. 88 should not become slower than the tempo at m. 92. At m. 92, let the horns and saxophones really shine through.
