Remembrance was written in November 2018. In remembrance of what it took for us to be here... was the only original program note. The piece can mean different things to different people; however, it brings unity to all under the theme of remembrance. We fight for many things: love, patriotism, freedom, ideology, possession...all of which have cost tremendous sacrifice. It was the battles, the blood and sweat, and the sacrifice of those that came before us that created the world as we know it. Remembrance is a tender, melancholic reflection that silently gives thanks to every step and every sacrifice that was made to bring us what we have today. Yes, what we have may not be perfect--nor is it anywhere near complete--but with each generation's responsibility to carry the torch and never forget, hopefully we can make everything worth it. Performance Notes This tender piece is an excellent opportunity to explore nuanced phrasing. While many sections may play similar parts, often the phrasing and dynamics are marked differently across the band. Each of these discrepancies should be brought out and add to the perpetual motion of the piece. Encourage confident, yet subtle entrances and furthermore, think about the ends of notes as important as the beginning. Really bring out the hairpins in sections such as m. 29, m. 67, and m. 81 as expressive devices. Despite the piece's major key, through the various levels of dissonance and tension, both the ensemble and the audience should feel the sacrifices and tragedy that this piece celebrates. The tempo should not be much slower than the marked tempos and with the careful observation of the various tempo changes, there should be a constant momentum pushing throughout the piece, all the way past the end that leaves the audience in thought with an uplifting, pensive, and gentle clarinet chord.

Remembrance Day (Totengedenken) is a chorale-like piece in memory of those who have died in service. Jacob de Haan composed this work for a concert by the symphonic wind orchestra Symphonic Winds, which he conducted in Germany on Volkstrauertag (national remembrance day). The composition is based on a text from Totengedenken (Commemoration of Those Who Have Died). This narrative text is provided in four languages, and is intended to be spoken (using a microphone) ad libitum during the performance. Choir parts are also available to complement the performance.

Remembrance Day ist ein choralartiges Stück zum Angedenken an die Verstorbenen. Die Komposition basiert auf einem Text aus Totengedenken, herausgegeben vom Volksbund deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge. Ein beiliegender Text kann zur angegebenen Zeit während der Aufführung gesprochen werden. Das Ganze kann ad libitum durch einen gemischten Chor, der lange Töne ohne Text singt, vervollständigt werden. Remembrance Day ist ein recht langsames, erhabenes Werk zur würdevollen Umrahmung von Trauer- oder Gedenkfeiern, zum Volkstrauertag und ähnlichen feierlichen Anlässen. Textauszug A Remembrance DayWir denken heute an die Opfer von Gewalt und Krieg, Kinder, Frauen und Männeraller Völker. Wir gedenken der Soldaten, die in den Weltkriegen starben, der Menschen, die durch Kriegshandlungen oder danach in Gefangenschaft, als Vertriebene und als Flüchtlinge ihr Leben verloren. Wir gedenken derer, die verfolgt und getötet wurden, weil sie einem anderen Volk angehörten, einer anderen Rasse zugerechnet wurden oder deren Leben wegen einer Krankheit oder Behinderung als lebensunwert bezeichnet wurde. Wir gedenken derer, die ums Leben kamen weil sie Widerstand gegen die Gewaltherrschaft geleistet haben, und derer, die den Tod fanden weil sie an ihrer Überzeugung oder an ihrem Glauben festhielten. Wir trauern um die Opfer der Kriege und Bürgerkriege unserer Tage, um die Opfer von Terrorismus und politischer Verfolgung. Wir gedenken heute auch derer, die in diesem Jahr bei uns durch Hass und Gewalt gegen Fremde und Schwache Opfer geworden sind. Wir trauern mit den Müttern und mit allen, die Leid tragen um die Toten. Aber unser Leben steht im Zeichen der Hoffnung auf Versöhnung unter den Menschen und Völkern, und unsere Verantwortung gilt dem Frieden unter den Menschen zu Hause und in der Welt.

The Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) is committed to cultivating Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access in the international guitar community and in the repertoire published for the instrument. Many factors, including a composer's race, gender, and sexual orientation, have historically created a narrow representation of our community in the classical music canon. For this first volume of the GFA Spotlight Series, the GFA commissioned seven new works by composers of color. The second volume of this series will follow with seven transcriptions of existing pieces by composers of color. These commissioned pieces and transcriptions were premiered by students in the GFA Mentorship Program in 2021.
With this collection, the guitar takes a step towards a more inclusive and representative repertoire that nurtures creativity and inclusion for generations of guitarists to come. Growing the canon enriches the musical experiences of our entire international guitar community through exposure to diverse perspectives and voices, complementing the invaluable lessons we learn from the existing contributions of pieces that form the canon.
