FANFARE to SOUND the CALLfor brass ensemble/percussion

James M. Stephenson

duration: 4'instrumentation: 2 piccolo trumpets, 5 C trumpets, 1 flugelhorn 4 french horns 4 trombones, 1 bass trombone euphonium, 3 tubas timpani 4 percussion: glockenspiel, chimes cymb. a2, B.D., S.D. tam-tam, sus. cymb. triangle

Program notes - by the composer:

In 2007, conductor Michael Krajewski approached me about composing a highly spiritedand patriotic symphonic overture with a somewhat unique twist: that it would somehow combine the "sounds" of John Williams and John Philip Sousa, yet be an original piece of music.

Always one to love a challenge, the resulting 4 minute work has hints of each of the two composers, the latter of which being 'Stars and Stripes Forever'. These hints are not meant to be overt, butonly suggestions which might be caught by the keen observer.

The concert band version of this score was created June 10, 2018.

In 2019, I was asked to create a fanfare for the Interlochen Center for the Arts, to help celebratethe opening of their new music building. Having recently seen a video of John Phillip Sousa visitingInterlochen in the early days of the camp (quite an amazing occurrence), it occurred to me that thispiece could still well-represent the opportunities Interlochen presents as a gathering place for boththose ho have achieved a bit of fame/status in their careers and those students who are just beginning their journeys.

Therefore, in this version for brass ensemble, I inserted a bit of the famous "O Sound the Call" that allof us alums remember so well, and married that with a bit of the aforementioned Sousa march. Hopefully the result will still embody the spirit embedded at Interlochen: excitement, partnerships, new beginnings, and music-making of the highest caliber.
