Sanctuary was commissioned by the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association to commemorate the retirement of H. Robert Reynolds from the University of Michigan. Frank Ticheli selected the title Sanctuary to reflect his great respect and admiration for his former teacher and mentor, Professor Reynolds. “As a personal tribute to Mr. Reynolds, who was a horn player in his early days, I chose the solo horn to be the work’s main musical messenger. The opening prologue grows out of a set of pitches that were derived from the letters of his first name (Harrah), an idea I first used fifteen years ago in Postcard. The word ‘sanctuary’, conjures a rich array of images. It can imply a place of solitude, comfort, rest, prayer, protection. It can suggest a place that is strong and imposing or one that is very small and private. I believe all of these images are suggested at one point or another in the music.†Frank Ticheli Frank Ticheli joined the USC composition faculty in 1991. His music has been described as brilliantly effective, deeply felt, with impressive flair and striking instrumental colors... The Philadelphia Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony, Detroit Symphony and the Dallas Symphony have performed Ticheli's works. He received his doctoral and masters degrees in composition from the University of Michigan. H. Robert Reynolds is the principal conductor of the USC Thornton Wind Ensemble. For 26 years he served as Director of Bands at the University of Michigan, and conductor of the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings.
