2. Good evening and welcome to theDenver School of the Arts Band Department’s Band Showcase: Theme and Tirade Please turn off all cell phones…

4. What a weird piece that would be…

5. Theme and Tirade This performance is the culmination of work that began at the very beginning of school this year in both band majors: Concert Band and Wind Ensemble. This, the Band Showcase, is the 3rd concert of the department this year. The first, Telling Stories, concentrated on original music written by the students in chamber (small) groups of varied instrumentation. The second was the culmination of the Jazz Symposium, this year featuring the group Kneebody. The Band Showcase concentrates on the large ensembles of the majors, classical music styles and again chamber groups. This concert is the result of tremendous Practicing Artists who have come in consistently every week to work with all the students.

7. New Forest March – Johnnie Vinson Military marches make up a big part of band literature. This specific march is written in an English style – taking local folk melodies and using them as compositional material. Performing this style gives the band the opportunity to rehearse tempo, balance, blend and varied articulation requirements. Western Horizons – Thomas Kahelin From the Badlands of South Dakota to the cliffs of Big Sur, California, the western horizon is both an ending and a beginning. Standing in the grandeur of the American West, one senses the exuberance and wildness of a long time gone by. Performing descriptive pieces like this gives students the opportunity to describe a scenario through music and sound.

8. Just A Closer Walk With Thee – Arr. by F. Allen Although the composer of this beautiful work is unknown, it has been used to a great extent in religious contexts. Young bands turn to choral literature to explore sostenato playing style (long, lyrical and connected performance style) and choral style (vertical harmonies in a vocal style). DanseBacchanale – Camille Saint Saens, Arr. by J. Bocook From Saint-Saens’ only operatic success, Samson and Delilah, the Bacchanale is from the third act of the opera. Exposure to great works of music is a central focus in band class. Although very challenging, accessible arrangements - such as this one - makes a difficult orchestral arrangement playable in the concert band setting.

17. Pas Redouble – Camille Saint-Saensarr. by Arthur Frankenpohl Pas Redoublé is a quickstep concert march reminiscent of the gallops by Offenbach and other 19th century composers. Originally written for four-hand piano in 1887 and published in 1890, this transcription was made by Arthur Frackenpohl in 1972. On a Hymnsong by Phillip Bliss – David Holsinger The hymn "It is Well with My Soul" is the material for this masterful band arrangement. Written by a Presbyterian laywer Horatio G. Spafford (1828-1888) and composed by Philip P. Bliss (1838-1876), this deeply touching gospel song has become a standard in the band repertoire.

18. First Suite in E Flat for Military Band- Gustav Holst In 1909, when this Suite was written, concert wind band music consisted of reductions of pieces originally scored for orchestras. Thus this suite was revolutionary in that it was written exclusively for wind band and is considered Holst’s first step toward achieving his goal of making the concert band a serious concert medium. Theme and Tirade – Richard Saucedo This piece uses a mixed meter, meaning a measure of 5 beats followed by 2 measures of 3 beats – not your typical time signature. Performing well in different “feels” of rhythmic organization is the sign of a maturing ensemble. This is also a contemporary piece of Wind Ensemble literature. The Bands Department at Denver School of the Arts appreciates your patronage tonight and wishes you all a Happy Veterans Day!
