Program Dedicated to and in loving memory of

James K. Copenhaver & Whitnie N. Davis

Kirkpatrick Fanfare …………………………………………… Andrew Boysen, Jr. (b. 1968) Kirkpatrick Fanfare was commissioned by Central Missouri State University for the dedication of the

James C. Kirkpatrick Library in March, 1999. This work has a definite Irish flavor, including a strain of

“Danny Boy”. Composer Andrew Boysen, Jr. is an assistant professor in the music department at the

University of New Hampshire in Nashua where he conducts the wind symphony and teaches

conducting, composition and orchestration.

Colors for Trombone ………………………...…………………… Bert Appermont (b. 1973)

III. Blue

IV. Green In this composition, the focus lies on the characteristics of the colors blue & green, as well as the

emotions and associations they represent. These colors are not an end to themselves; they merely

function as an indication of atmosphere and character. The unity in the work is created by the use of a

three-tone motive (c-d-g) that constantly returns in different disguises and functions as a basis for

every important theme in the work. You will find this motif in both movements, very clearly or

hidden in a diatonic line.

Andrew Reich, Trombone Andrew is an active performer and teacher living in Columbia, South Carolina. He tours with the

nationally acclaimed brass group, Tim Zimmerman and the King’s Brass. He held the position of

principal trombone of the Gwinnett (Ga.) Symphony and Ballet while completing his graduate studies

at the University of Georgia, studying with Dr. Phillip Jameson and the late Fred Mills. He also holds

an undergraduate music performance degree from the University of South Carolina, having studied

with Dr. Bradley Edwards. In 2008, Andrew was a brass resident and faculty member of the

prestigious Tatui Music Festival in Brazil. In addition to performing around the state of South

Carolina with various orchestras and ensembles, Andrew has performed in 46 other states and toured

Japan, Korea, Bulgaria and Italy, appearing in Rome, Florence, Viterbo, Verona, Venice and St. Peter’s

Basilica in Vatican City while premiering the oratorio, “Martyrdom of Polycarp”.

Variations on a Korean Folk Song …………..…………… John Barnes Chance (1932-1972) Chance won the American Bandmasters’ Association Ostwald Award for this work in the year

following its composition. He provided the following information concerning the work in the Journal

of Band Research for autumn 1966: “I became acquainted with the folk song Arrirang (pronounced

"AH-dee-dong") while serving in Seoul, Korea in the Eighth U.S. Army Band in 1958-59. The tune is

not as simple as it sounds, and my fascination with it during the intervening years led to its eventual

use as the theme for this set of variations. The work is in six sections—the opening pentatonic theme

stated by the clarinets followed by five distinct variations. The first variation features temple blocks

and woodwinds. Variation two is quiet and serene with the original melody, now inverted, played by

the oboe. The third variation is a fast march, the fourth is broad and solemn, and the fifth is more

involved with various sections of the band playing one of the two phrases heard in the opening

theme.”

Intermission

Concord ……………………………………...……………… Clare Grundman (b. 1913-1996) Concord is based on three traditional tunes from old New England: "The White Cockade," William

Billings’ "America," and "Yankee Doodle." Concord was commissioned by, and dedicated to the

United States Marine Band, Washington. D.C.

A Shaker Gift Song …………………………………………………… Frank Ticheli (b. 1958) Based on the Shaker lullaby, “Here Take This Lovely Flower”, and found in the extraordinary

collection, Lullabies of the World, and in Daniel W. Patterson’s monumental collection, The Shaker

Spiritual, like many Shaker songs, this lullaby embodies the Shakers’ ideal of childlike simplicity.

Russian Christmas Music ………………..………………………… Alfred Reed (1921-2005) Russian Christmas Music was composed in November 1944. Based upon an ancient Russian

Christmas Carol (“Carol of the Little Russian Children”), a good deal of original material and some

motivic elements derived from the liturgical music of the Eastern Orthodox Church form the basis for

this musical impression of Old Russia during the jubilant Christmas season. Cast in the form of a

single, continuous movement, four distinct sections are easily recognized. All of the resources of the

modern wind band are drawn upon to create an almost overwhelming sound picture of tone color,

power, and sonority.
