Wind in the Reeds was commissioned by Deena Draycott in memory of John Watson, an army bandsman, teacher and bassoonist. Wind in theReeds is both a tribute and lasting memorial to John. The piece is largely pastoral in nature, evoking images conjured up by the 'play on words' in the title, but includes a faster central section which exploits other aspects of the character of the bassoon. Transitions between the various sections of the piece are achieved through a series of accompanied cadenzas for the soloist.

Het werk is grotendeels pastoraal van karakter; het roept beelden op die de woordspeling in de titel (Wind in het riet) met zich meebrengt, maar het bevat een sneller middengedeelte dat andere aspecten van het karakter van de fagot in de schijnwerpers zet. De overgangen tussen de verschillende gedeelten van het werk worden gerealiseerd middels een reeks begeleide cadensen voor de solist.Wind in the Reeds wurde von Deena Draycott in Erinnerung an John Watson, einen Militärmusiker, Lehrer und Fagottisten, in Auftrag gegeben. Wind in the Reeds ist sowohl ein Tribut an John Watson als auch ein bleibendes Andenken an ihn. Das Stück hat einen größtenteils pastoralen Charakter und ruft Bilder hervor, die durch das Wortspiel im Titel heraufbeschworen werden. Es enthält jedoch auch einen schnelleren Hauptteil, der andere Charaktereigenschaften des Fagotts eines der Lieblingsinstrumente des Komponisten erkundet. Eine Reihe von Solo-Kadenzen bilden die Übergänge zwischen den verschiedenen Abschnitten des Stückes.Win d in the Reeds est une commande de Deena Draycott en mémoire de John Watson musicien dans l’armée, enseignant et bassoniste. L’œuvre est la fois un hommage et une commémoration la mémoire de John. Elle est principalement pastorale, évoquant des images en lien avec le jeu de mots du titre avec une partie centrale plus rapide mettant en lumière d’autres aspects du basson. Les transitions entre les différentes sections se font par une succession de cadences accompagnées pour le soliste. Wind in the Reeds fu commissionato da Deena Draycott in memoria di John Watson, un bandista dell’esercito, insegnante e fagottista. Wind in the Reeds è sia un tributo che un ultimo memoriale per John. Il brano ha per lo più le caratteristiche di una pastorale, che evoca immagini richiamate dal gioco di parole del titolo, ma include una sezione centrale più veloce che sfrutta le caratteristiche del fagotto. I passaggi tra le varie sezioni del pezzo sono realizzati tramite una serie di cadenze accompagnate per il solista.

This is a highly effective work in a basic slow-fast format. The opening reeds signal a modal flavor which is retained throughout the lyric slow section. Fanfares in the brass introduce the fast section which contains many interesting contrasts in texture. A magnificent allargando section ends the piece with great flourish and impact. Excellent contest material.

By Lantern's Light is a medley of Persian folk songs. The songs come from a collection for voice and piano by Clair Fairchild in his Twelve Persian Folk Songs published by Novello and Company, London, 1904. Fairchild's goal was to capture the spirit and ambiance of Persia's music and musicians. Fairchild took special care to preserve their authenticity by limiting western harmony. Such is also the case in this setting for concert band. Special attention should be given to replicate songlike phrasing of the melodic lines and the rhythmic integrity and style of the accompaniment. Conductors are encouraged to take liberties with dynamics and articulations to help performers play expressively. There are many inflections that exist beyond what is printed on the page. For example, the reeds might subtly shape the rhythmic accompaniment in m. 6-7, as might the trumpets with the melody in m. 18. In. m. 23, the wind musicians other than the trumpets are a part of the rhythm section with the percussion. These rhythms should fit together nicely to create a steady cadence. The melodic statements beginning at m. 35 should be carefully balanced to speak evenly throughout the various voices. If an oboist is not available, the solo in m. 57 has been cued in the alto saxophone.By Lantern's Light is a medley of Persian folk songs.

Program Notes This composition for wind ensemble is partially inspired by my home town of Sebastian, specifically its location on the east coast of the state of Florida. My childhood included many quick trips to both the nearby Indian River and the beaches on the coast, so swimming and the water were integral parts of my experience growing up. This work is my musical expression of diving underwater and getting swept up by a fast current and discovering wonders beneath the surface. Dive! has two central components: a constant, driving eighth-note pulse and a main theme which is fragmented and passed around at first, but then is presented completely by the low reeds around a minute and a half into the piece. The steady eighth-note pulse reflects the swift current that a diver might follow, while the main theme represents all the wonders that might be hidden under the water. Performance Notes Ideally, the Trombone 3 part should be played on a Bass Trombone. However, if one is not available there are cues for notes that are beneath a tenor trombone's range. Make sure the vibraphone is heard clearly throughout the piece, as this particular sound is very important to the overall color of this piece. The Percussion 5 part requires two performers as some of the hits happen too quickly for one player to switch between instruments. The most important component of this work is the steady eighth-note pulse, and this pulse never changes even though the meter changes frequently to odd or uncommon time signatures; if the eighth notes remain constant and driving, the meter changes will not pose much of a problem. .Program NotesThis composition for wind ensemble is partially inspired by my home town of Sebastian, specifically its location on the east coast of the state of Florida.

Missa Brevis, written for choir and wind band, was commissioned by the Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir.: Philippe Pfisterer) in Guebwiller (France), in celebration of the millennium of Pope Leon IX’sbirth in Éguisheim (France). The composer conducted the first performance on June 23, 2002. It was performed live for the French television channel France 2. The mass movements Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Deiare very suitable for the Catholic as well as the Protestant liturgy. For this mass, various ways for performing in diverse variable strengths are possible. An instrumental performance is possible if the brass represents the choir parts. In thisoption, it is desirable for the brass to be positioned separately from the rest of the band (on a gallery, for example), so that the idea of two choirs is approached. In a performance with a large choir, the brass can work very well as a support. Inthat case, the dynamics of the brass should be adapted somewhat, since these are actually intended for an instrumental performance. You can also leave out the brass entirely for the benefit of the choir. For the accompaniment of smaller choirs, youcan opt for a small ensemble from the band. This can also be a quartet, put together as desired. For the performance of this mass, the obvious choice is one of the above options. However, as an alternative, a performance with a combination of theseoptions (vocally/instrumentally) is also possible not just from an artistic point of view (variation), but also from a practical starting point for example in the case that the choir has rehearsed only two movements. With a full strength, theconductor can vary the instrumentation to his or her liking. Then the brass can also play a role in the accompaniment (instead of supporting the choir). The following combinations are possible:1. clarinet choir (from Eb Clarinet to BassClarinet)2. clarinet choir + saxophones3. brass (flugelhorns, horns, euphoniums, bass section)4. brass (2 trumpets / 2 trombones)5. double reeds (optional + flute, optional + string bass)6. tutti7. all winds8. allbrassIn a performance by brass band and choir, it is usually advisable to leave out option 1 (choir + brass + band). The choir sings self-reliantly, accompanied by a full brass band. In an instrumental performance, you can consider a combinedquartet (two cornets and two trombones) + brass band.Choral parts available separately.Mis sa Brevis, geschreven voor koor en blaasorkest, werd gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (dir. Philippe Pfisterer) in Guebwiller (Frankrijk), ter gelegenheid van het duizendstegeboortejaar van paus Leo IX. In zijn geboorteplaats, Éguisheim (Elzas, Frankrijk), vond op 23 juni 2002 de première van deze mis plaats onder leiding van de componist. Het betrof een live-registratie voor de Franse televisiezender France 2. Demisdelen Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus en Agnus Dei lenen zich uitstekend voor zowel de katholieke als de protestantse liturgie. Er zijn voor deze mis diverse uitvoeringsmogelijkheden mogelijk, aangezien er sprake is van eenvariabele bezetting. Een instrumentale uitvoering behoort uitdrukkelijk tot de mogelijkheden, indien het scherp koper de koorpartijen vertegenwoordigt. In deze optie is het wenselijk dat het scherp koper zich separaat opstelt van de rest van hetorkest (bijvoorbeeld op een galerij), zodat het idee van dubbelkorigheid wordt benaderd. Bij een uitvoering voor groot koor werkt het scherp koper zeer goed als ondersteuning. In dat geval kan de dynamiek van het koper iets worden aangepast,aangezien deze in eerste instantie bedoeld is voor een instrumentale versie. Ook kan men ervoor kiezen het scherp koper helemaal weg te laten ten gunste van het koor. Bij begeleiding van kleinere koren kan men kiezen voor een klein ensemble uit hetorkest. Dit kan ook een naar wens samengesteld kwartet zijn. Voor de uitvoering van deze mis ligt het voor de hand een van deze opties te kiezen. Als alternatief is echter ook een uitvoering mogelijk met een combinatie van deze opties (vocaal/instrumentaal) niet slechts vanuit een artistiek motief (afwisseling), maar ook vanuit een praktisch motief, voor het geval dat het koor bijvoorbeeld slechts twee delen heeft ingestudeerd. Bij een volledige bezetting kan de dirigent deinstrumentatie naar believen afwisselen. Hierbij kan ook het scherp koper in de begeleiding een rol krijgen (in plaats van ondersteuning van het koor). Zo zijn de volgende combinaties mogelijk:
1. clarinet choir (van Es-klarinet tot basklarinet)
2. clarinet choir + saxofoons
3. zacht koper (bugels, hoorns, euphoniums, bassen)
4. scherp koper (2 trompetten / 2 trombones)
5. dubbelrieten (eventueel + fluit, eventueel + contrabas)
6. tutti
7. alle hout
8. alle koper
In een uitvoering voor brassband en koor is het in de meeste gevallen aan te bevelen de optie voor scherp koper weg te laten. Het koor zingt zelfstandig, begeleid door een volledige brassband. In een instrumentale uitvoering kunt u denken aan eencombinatiekwartet (twee cornetten en twee trombones) + brassband.Koorpartijen apart verkrijgbaar.M issa Brevis, geschrieben für Chor und Blasorchester entstand im Auftrag des Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir.: Philippe Pfisterer) in Guebwiller (Frankreich), anlässlich des tausendjährigen Jubiläumsder Geburt von Papst Leo IX in Éguisheim. Der Komponist dirigierte die Uraufführung am 23. Juni 2002. Sie wurde live vom französischen Fernsehen France 2 übertragen. Die Messesätze Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus und Agnus Deieignen sich ausgezeichnet sowohl für die katholische als auch die protestantische Liturgie. Diese Messe kann in diversen variablen Spielstärken aufgeführt werden. Eine Instrumentalaufführung ist möglich, wenn das Blech die Chorstimme übernimmt.Um der Idee von zwei Chören in dieser Variante möglichst gerecht zu werden, empfiehlt es sich, das Blechregister getrennt vom Rest des Blasorchesters aufzustellen (beispielsweise auf einer Galerie). In einer Aufführung mit einem großen Chor kann dasBlechregister sehr gut als Unterstützung dienen. In diesem Fall sollten die Dynamikangaben der Blechbläser etwas angepasst werden, da sie ja eigentlich für eine Instrumentalaufführung gedacht sind. Man kann zugunsten des Chors auch völlig auf dasBlech verzichten. Zur Begleitung kleinerer Chöre können Sie ein kleines Ensemble aus dem Blasorchester wählen. Dies könnte auch ein Quartett in beliebiger Zusammensetzung sein. Für die Aufführung dieser Messe bietet sich eine der oben genanntenVarianten an. Eine Kombination dieser Wahlmöglichkeiten (vokal/instrumental) ist jedoch auch möglich und das nicht nur vom künstlerischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet (zur Abwechslung), sondern auch aus praktischen Erwägungen beispielsweise, wennder Chor nur zwei Sätze einstudiert hat. In voller Besetzung kann der Dirigent die Instrumentierung nach Belieben variieren. Dann können die Blechbläser auch eine Rolle in der Begleitung übernehmen (anstatt den Chor zu unterstützen). Die folgendenKombinationen sind möglich:
1. Klarinettenchor (von Klarinette in Es bis Bassklarinette)
2. Klarinettenchor + Saxophone
3. Blech (Flügelhorn, Horn, Euphonium, Bassregister)
4. Blech (2 Trompeten / 2 Posaunen)
5. Doppelrohrblattinstrument e (wahlweise + Flöte, wahlweise + Kontrabass)
6. Tutti
7. Alle Holzbläser
8. Alle Blechbläser
In einer Aufführung mit Brass Band und Chor ist es gewöhnlich ratsam, nicht die erste Option (Chor + Blech + Blasorchester) zu wählen. Der Chor singt unabhängig, begleitet von einer vollständigen Brass Band. In einer Instrumentalaufführung könnenSie sich für ein kombiniertes Quartett (zwei Kornette und zwei Posaunen) + Brass Band entscheiden. Chorstimmen separat erhältlich. Missa Brevis est une messe pour Orchestre d’Harmonie et Choeur composée la demande du Conseil Départemental pour la Musique et la Culture de Haute-Alsace (Dir. : Philippe Pfisterer) de Guebwiller en France, l’occasion des célébrations dumillénaire de la naissance du Pape Léon IX Éguisheim. La création mondiale a eu lieu le 23 juin 2002 sous la direction du compositeur, et a été diffusée en direct sur la chaîne de télévision nationale France 2. Les différentes parties de cettemesse (Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus et Agnus Dei) conviennent autant la liturgie catholique qu’ la liturgie protestante. Missa Brevis peut être interprétée dans différentes combinaisons instrumentales. Ellepeut être jouée dans une version purement instrumentale, où les cuivres prennent en charge la partie vocale. En tel cas, il est conseillé de placer les cuivres l’écart de la formation (sur une estrade, par exemple) de façon reproduire l’idée dedeux groupes indépendants. Dans le cadre d’une interprétation avec un grand Choeur, les cuivres jouent un rôle de soutien. Leurs nuances doivent alors être adaptées dans la mesure où elles ont été écrites, l’origine, pour une version instrumentale.Il est également possible de ne pas faire intervenir les cuivres et de privilégier le Choeur. Pour accompagner de petits ensembles vocaux, il faut opter pour une formation instrumentale réduite voire même un Quatuor (instrumentation au choix). Pourl’interprét ation de cette messe l’un des choix proposés ci-dessus s’impose. Il existe néanmoins une alternative qui consiste interpréter cette oeuvre en combinant ces options (vocales / instrumentales). Cela peut être bénéfique tant d’un point devue artistique (variante) que pratique dans le cas où le Choeur n’a travaillé que deux mouvements de la messe. Si le chef dispose de deux formations complètes (Choeur et Orchestre d’Harmonie), il peut varier l’instrumentation selon ses préférences. ce moment-l , il peut confier un rôle d’accompagnement et non de soutien aux cuivres de sa formation. Les combinaisons suivantes peuvent être formées :
1. Choeur de Clarinettes (de la Clarinette Mib la Clarinette Basse)
2. Choeur de Clarinettes + Saxophones
3. Cuivres (Bugles, Cors, Barytons / Euphoniums, Basses)
4. Cuivres (2 Trompettes / 2 Trombones)
5. Instruments anches doubles (Fl te et Contrebasse cordes optionnelles)
7. Tous les Bois
8. Tous les Cuivres
Dans le cadre d’une interprétation par un Brass Band accompagné d’un Choeur, il est préférable de supprimer l’option 1 (Choeur + Cuivres + Orchestre d’Harmonie) car le Choeur étant autonome. Dans une version instrumentale pour Cuivres, il estpossible de former la combinaison suivante : Quatuor (2 Cornets / 2 Trombones) et Brass Band.Partitions pour chœur disponibles séparément. Parti per coro disponibili a parte.

As the name suggests, the opening is a slow, dirge- like section beginning with reeds, adding trombone and low brass. An ostinato snare drum helps build the opening to a climax which then returns to the original meditative mood. A sudden shift in mood occurs at the Festiva, where punctuating brass, lyric clarinets, and effective polychords lead in a rhythmically straightforward way toward a highly fulfilling conclusion.
