A pressing out. A breathing out. Pressing keys with fingers, beating drums with mallets.

Exhaling through lips and reeds pressed together so tightly that the air that escapes vibrates in such a way that it makes our ears—and our hearts—tingle.

Expression. Taking a thought, feeling or emotion and making it audible—hesitant, confident, soothing, startling—through words with our friends and family, or through pitches with fellow musicians and audience members.

We encourage our students to play and sing expressively, with “expression”—to “say something” through the notes and phrases of music. We give of ourselves—conductors and players alike—

when we make music. Whether or not the music is a direct expression of our faith, we are expressing our love of God, whose expression of love for us was in sending Jesus, whose expression of love for us was in giving his life for our redemption. God’s expression of love for us through Christ allows us to respond in thanks by offering of ourselves through God’s wonderful gift of music.

You, the audience, have expressed your support in this endeavor by being here. We are grateful for that. And you will, we hope, express appreciation of the efforts of our students through your applause. We are grateful for that, too. And, if you are related to any of the performers, you have expressed your love and care for them by

bringing them to this point in their lives and by instilling in them a love for music. We are eternally grateful for that.

These gifted students before you today, our dedicated faculty, and all who so willingly serve our University wish to express our thanks to our Creator and Redeemer for the gift of music and for all of you. We hope you enjoy the concert.

program notesprogram notesLUX PERPETUA Frank Ticheli

Lux Perpetua was composed in memory of two musicians —Laura Onwuddinanti and Jack Stewart—both clarinet players, both members of the Baylor University Wind Ensemble, who together lost their lives in a tragic automobile accident. In composing this music, I have kept in mind their natures: the one, Jack, more introspective and thoughtful, the other, Laura, more gregarious and spontaneous. Those qualities are reflected in the music, which attempts to capture their light in sound.

The title, Lux Perpetua, translates to “Perpetual Light,” and is taken from the Latin requiem mass, drawn from the final line of its Lux aeterna: “Er lux perpetua luceat eis” —“And let perpetual light shine upon them.” I have come to see this light as both protector and illuminator so that two kinds of light illuminate the work, the one soft and meditative, the other sparkling and effervescent.

The work begins softly and gently in the clarinets with a rising motive of a perfect twelfth followed by a falling motive of a minor third – this falling motive becoming laced into the fabric of the piece, sometimes as transition material, or as material of unexpected contrast, and still other times flowering into the main melody.

The melody is longing and noble in quality, and is constructed in a way that suggests the notion of infinity; its accompanying harmony depicts a kind of bellows or the act of breathing in and out, perpetually. The harmony never settles on a final chord, but instead moves to a built-in modulation, compelling the melody to repeat itself in a chain of new keys. The pulsing of the harmony is the life-blood of the work.

As dramatic contrast to this calm pulsation, an energetic section arises, which nevertheless itself springs not from new themes, but from the main motive and main melody, now in a glittering light, surrounding the lyrical lines, building to a tremendous climax.

The final coda serves as a meditation, climbing higher and softer, a gentle rocking back and forth as the work closes, bathed in soft light in a fragile ascent to the heavens.

Frank Ticheli, Pasadena, CA, July 2, 2020

FOLK DANCES Dmitri Shostakovich

This popular wind band work by the Soviet-era Dmitri Shostakovich was originally composed in 1943 as the third movement, Dance of Youth, of My Beloved Country, Op. 63. It was first arranged for Russian bands by Mark Vakhutinski in 1970 and edited for American bands by H. Robert Reynolds nine years later.

Composed in Shostakovich’s light-hearted style, this single-movement work is filled with the joy and exuberance of the Russian people. The many folk melodies are combined in a string so that music energy abounds and the spirit of the folk dances can easily be imagined.

CONCERTO IN B-FLAT George Frederick Handel

Handel’s harp concerto was published as an organ concerto in Opus 4 in 1738, and may originally have been composed in that form. Indeed, as published, the Concerto works on either instrument. Handel’s organ concertos were written to be interludes for him to play during his oratorios, on the organ he had available in the theater—a chamber organ with one keyboard and no pedal-board—so they do not include a part to be played with the feet in addition to the right and left hands. The Concerto in B-flat is conjectured to be the one described as a concerto for “Harp, Lute, Lyrichord [a keyboard instrument that sounded the strings with a bowing mechanism, rather like a hurdy-gurdy] and other Instruments” that was performed in February 1736 during Handel’s Saint Cecilia’s Day ode, Alexander’s Feast. Saint Cecilia was the patron saint of music, and odes to her were always about the power of music (Alexander’s Feast tells the story of how a bard used music to manipulate Alexander the Great in the celebration after his conquest of Persia), so unusual or lavish displays of instrumental sound were expected.

SYMPHONIC DANCE NO. 3 “FIESTA” Clifton Williams

Symphonic Dance No. 3 “Fiesta,” is one of a group of five works originally commissioned by the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation commemorating the 25th anniversary of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra. The first performance of the complete set of dances was by that orchestra, conducted by the composer, January 30, 1965. In refashioning the dances for symphonic band, composer Clifton Williams achieves a new dimension in sound and color and adds fresh excitement to contemporary band literature.

“Fiesta” depicts the pageantry of Latin-American celebrations —street bands, bullfights and bright costumes—the colorful legacy of a proud people.

The band version was premiered in Miami, FL, March 4, 1967, by the University of Miami’s “Band of the Hour” under the composer’s direction.

Program notes from the publisher

THE SYMPHONIC GERSHWIN George Gershwin

Warren Barker has masterfully combined the most memorable themes from Gershwin’s great symphonic works into a dramatic work for concert band. It includes music from An American in Paris, Cuban Overture and Rhapsody in Blue.

Program notes from the publisher

TRANSCENDENT JOURNEY ROSANNO GALANTE

With the first sounds of Transcendent Journey, I wanted to create a big, powerful, exhilarating chord that would grab the listener right away. The introduction is the beginning of our “journey” and gives a melodic hint, stated by horns, to the heroic main theme. The main theme should evoke not only the heroic quality of the melody, but also its beauty. This was suited perfectly for the trumpets. The listener should feel as though they can accomplish anything, no matter how challenging. I feel this is a melody that transcends all my others. The same theme is then stated in the horns and woodwinds, accompanied with rhythmic hits by the rest of the ensemble, creating a stalwart sound.

Then a short B section is introduced, performed by piccolo and oboe with delicate accompaniment. Note the light, relaxed feeling of joy in this section in contrast to the heroic material in the opening.

Following the B section, the main theme returns, this time played by flutes, capturing the sensitive aspects of the heroic theme. We now move into the slower section of the composition. This warm melody is almost wistful with a sad, yearning quality. It is repeated three times, each time getting stronger, more emotional and more climactic.

The final section is a fast-paced version of the introduction that includes extensive percussion and woodwind ostinati. Exhilaration and achievement is what I am trying to convey here. We finally complete our “journey” with a slower, grand statement of the main theme performed by trumpets and trombones. The piece ends with tutti ensemble bringing the “transcendent journey” to an end.

Rosanno Galante

WHO PUTS HIS TRUST IN GOD MOST JUSTWho puts his trustIn God most justHath built his house securely;He who reliesOn Jesus Christ,Shall reach His heav’n most surely.

Then fixed on TheeMy trust shall be,For Thy truth cannot alter;While mine Thou artNor death’s worst smartShall make my courage falter.

Dr. Fischer and the Wind Symphony have performed concerts in almost every state in the United States and in Canada, Europe, Asia and South Africa. The

Wind Symphony has had the honor of performing at many music festivals and conferences including the College Band Directors National Association (CBDNA), the Illinois Music Educators Conference (ILMEA), and numerous times at convocations of the Lutheran Education Association (LEA). Having performed to multiple standing ovations at Carnegie Hall in 2014, the Wind Symphony was honored to again be invited to be the showcase ensemble for the New York City Wind Band Festival at Carnegie Hall in March 2019.

Under Dr. Fischer’s direction, the Wind Symphony has commissioned, premiered and recorded numerous wind band compositions, most notably the U.S. premiere of Johan de Meij’s The Lord of the Rings in the fall of 1989. They have recorded 16 compact discs (over 150 works) of sacred wind music. The Wind Symphony’s most recent recording, Let My Love Be Heard, features both sacred and secular music.

Dr. Fischer is in frequent demand as a presenter, guest conductor, clinician and adjudicator in the United States, Canada, South Africa, Japan and Australia.
