Program NotesJames Edward Curnow / “Taddington Square”James Edward Curnow is rapidly becoming acknowledged as one of America’s outstanding composers for concert band. Before his fortieth birthday, over 100 of his compositions and arrangements were published for concert band, chorus, and brass band; he has won several prestigious awards for their excellence. Born in Port Huron, Michigan, in 1943, he received his B.S. degree in music education from Wayne State University and his M. M. degree from Michigan State University. Curnow taught in the public schools of Michigan from 1966 to 1969, followed by fourteen years on the faculties of the University of Wisconsin, Mott Community College, and Asbury College. In 1981, Curnow became the assistant director of bands and an associate professor of music at the University of Illinois. He now lives in Nicholasville, Kentucky, where he heads Curnow Music Press, serves as Composer-in-residence at Asbury College, and is editor of all music publications for the Salvation Army.

Larry Daehn / “Nottingham Castle”Larry Daehn was born in Rosendale, Wisconsin, in 1939 and grew up on the farms of that state. He received a B.A. in Musical Education from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh in 1964 and his Masters degree in 1976 from the University of Wisconsin at Platteville. He has been a teacher of music for 33 years; the last 27 of them at the New Glaris (WI) High School. A past president of the Wisconsin chapter of Phi Beta Mu, he was honored by that organization as Outstanding Bandmaster. Daehn has composed With Quiet Courage, in memory of his mother, and As Summer Was Just Beginning. An avid admirer of Percy Grainger, he has written several arrangements of that composer’s melodies and an article on the Grainger Museum. He is the owner of Daehn Publications.

Charles Carter (b. 1926) / “Symphonic Overture”Charles Carter is known throughout the United States and many other countries as a composer of significant pieces for school and community bands. In 1996 he retired from the faculty at Florida State University after teaching music classes and writing hundreds of arrangements for the FSU Marching Chiefs over a period of 43 years. Mr. Carter was born in Ponca City, OK, but grew up and attended schools in Worthington, OH. He began writing for the concert band and a Dixieland band while still in high school. After serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, he majored in composi-tion and theory at Ohio State University and the Eastman School of Music. He studied composition with Kent Kennan and Bernard Rogers at Eastman, and later with Ernest von Dohnányi at Florida State. Carter served on the faculty of Ohio State University for two years prior to becoming the arranger for the Florida State University Bands in 1953. He also taught theory, composition, and arranging and was a popular clinician, guest conductor, and freelance arranger for various schools around the United States.

Samuel R. Hazo / ”Our Kingsland Spring”Samuel R. Hazo (b. 1966) received his Bachelors and Masters degrees from Duquesne University, where he served on the Board of Governors and was honored as an Outstanding Graduate in Music Education. Mr. Hazo has been a music teacher at every educational grade level from kindergarten through college, including tenure as a high school and university band director. A prominent composer of wind band and chamber ensemble works, he has also written for television, radio, and stage. In 2003 he became the first composer to win both composition contests of the National Band Association with his Perthshire Majesty (2003) and Novo Lenio (2001). Mr. Hazo now resides in Pittsburgh, PA, where he serves on the faculty of the Upper St. Clair School District. He is also active as a clinician and guest conductor.

Program NotesFrank Erickson /” Overture Jubiloso “ Frank Erickson (1923-1996), Spokane, Washington; Died: October 21, , Oceanside, California) Composer and arranger. He graduated from high school in Washington, where he played trumpet and wrote his first concert piece for band, The Fall of Evening. During World War II he arranged for army bands and, following the war, worked as a dance band ar-ranger while studying composition.He entered the University of Southern California in 1948, studied composition, and arranged for the U.S.C. Band while working toward the Bachelor and Masters degrees. He later taught at U.C.L.A. and San Jose State College, served as musical editor for Bourne, Belwin, and G. Schirmer, and in 1970 organized the firm of Summit Publications. He was a member of the American Band-masters Association, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and Kappa Kappa Psi, and was associated with quality compositions for school bands for more than forty years.

Ralph Vaughan Williams / “English Folk Song Suite”Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958) spent two years between school and university in musical study at the Royal Col-lege of Music. After taking a degree at Cambridge, he returned to the Royal College in London for further study, then visited Germany, where he heard the Wagnerian music dramas and stayed to study with Max Bruch. He returned to England to receive a doctorate in music at Cambridge. With his friend, Gustav Holst, Vaughan Williams cut the ties that had bound English music to Germany and Italy. Instead of looking for good models on the Continent, these two young Englishmen decided to seek them at home in England’s own past. Written in 1923, the English Folk Song Suite is one of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams’s most famous works for military band. The piece has also been arranged for full orchestra and brass band by Vaughan Williams’ student Gordon Jacob. The suite consists of three movements: March, Intermezzo and another March, all of which are subtitled with English folk song names. The first march is based upon Seventeen Come Sunday, the Intermezzo upon My Bonny Boy and the final movement on Folk Songs from Somerset.

Malcolm Arnold /” Prelude, Siciliano, and Rondo”Malcolm Arnold (b. 1921) has created for himself a significant and some what unique position in contemporary British music. At a time when much new music is foreboding or despairing, his optimistic outlook and high spir its are the more welcome. He was born in Northampton, and studied at the Royal College of Music, where he would later return as an instructor. His list of works includes nine symphonies, twenty concertos, much chamber music, five ballets, and music for several films; he received an Oscar for his music for the 1958 film, Bridge on the River Kwai. His suites of English, Scottish, and Cornish dances are hallmarks of his repertoire. He served many years as principal trumpet player in the London Philharmonic Orchestra.Prelude, Siciliano, and RondoOriginally composed for the standard British all-brass band and entitled Little Suite for Brass, Op. 80, this 1979 ar-rangement by the late John P. Paynter brings its beautiful character and melodies to wind ensembles. All three move-ments are written in short, clear five-part song forms, reflecting Malcolm Arnold’s interest in folk songs and dances. The Prelude begins in a fanfare style and evolves through changing keys and themes; it slowly resolves into a quiet cantabile ending. The Siciliano is true to the character of its lilting and graceful namesake Sicilian dance; solo instruments carry the melody as brass and woodwinds provide contrasting textures. True in style, the rollicking Rondo explodes with the prominent theme that reap pears again and again in alternation with contrasting themes.

Program Notes continued...

Richard Wagner / “Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral”An intellectual and philosopher, Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883) was one of the world’s greatest composers. He became obsessed with music as a teenager after hearing works by Beethoven at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Germany, and he used his musical inspiration and knowledge of the theater to compose operas. Wagner raised German opera to new heights by uniting music and drama. With his desire to write dramas, the desire to promote German nationalism, and his ingenuity of utilizing all aspects of the theatre, Wagner became the most famous opera composer of his generation and the Romantic Era. Many of his operas are famed throughout Europe, including such dramas as Tristan und Isolde, The Ring of Nibelungen Cycle, Parsifal, Tannhauser, and Lohengrin (to name a few). These innovations to the operas genre created a new category, coined by Wagner himself, the music drama. He also composed with a specific style of writing that uses motives to denote specific themes, characters, and objects, which was called the leitmotif. These operas created a vast following of Wagner, gaining him fame long after death (February 13th, 1883). Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral is written to exploit every possible emotion related to love and passion in the band and the listener. The piece’s tempo is completely up to the director, however, the arranger, Lucien Cailliet, notes that the tempo should never exceed 80 quarter note beats per minute. Tempo is specifically allowed to flux ever so slightly in order to add to the expressive feel, as long as it does not change too much too fast. The other key area to keep in mind is the fact that this is a processional, so the intensity will be slowly building until the end, when Elsa reaches the cathedral for her wedding.

John Barnes Chance /” Incantation and Dance”A Texas native, John Barnes Chance was born in Beaumont in 1932. He played percussion in high school and started composing. Attending the University of Texas under a scholarship, he earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music, studying under Clifton Williams. After graduation, he began a three year tour of duty in the Army service bands as a percussionist and arranger. After his discharge, he received a grant from the Ford Foundation’s Young Composers Project and was assigned to the Greensboro, North Carolina public schools. He wrote seven pieces for school ensembles including Incantation and Dance. In 1966, his Variations on a Korean Folk Song received the Ostwald Award from the American Bandmasters Association. The following year he was appointed to the faculty of the University of Kentucky, where he was later appointed head of the theory-composition program. In 1972, Chance’s promising career was cut short when he died from cardiac arrest after a tent pole accidentally contacted an electrified fence in his backyard. Incantation and Dance - This work consists of two sections, highly contrasted in both length and nature. The Incanta-tion is a short, mournful legato melody. It is full of mystery and expectation, wandering, unstable, and without tonal-ity. Beginning on a misterioso flute note, instruments are gradually added, but the general dynamic level remains soft, hushed, and waiting, until the feroce and fortissimo of the accented repeated triplets, casting the final incantation. The Dance also begins quietly, but percussion instruments quickly enter, one by one, building a rhythmic pattern of incred-ible complexity and drive. The entrance of the brass and winds creates an increase in the rhythmic tension, as the dance grows wilder and more frenzied. After a short variation of material from the Incantation, the beginning of the Dance section is once again represented by the percussion. The piece gathers force as the entire ensemble draws together for a dramatic and exciting conclusion.

Teacher BiosTERRY SAKOW is in his 19th year as Director of

Bands at Santa Monica High School. During his

tenure at Santa Monica High School the bands have

grown to 270 students from 80 his first year. Between

1995 and 2006 he served as Chair of the Santa Monica

High School Music Department overseeing the entire

music curriculum, and also serving as consultant for

a massive renovation of the school auditorium, and

the music facility. At the end of his time as depart-

ment chair, the music department enrollment reached

an excess of 800 students, and the music facility and

performance hall are now state of the art facilities. The

band program at Santa Monica High School has devel-

oped into one of the finest and most comprehensive of

its kind in California during Mr. Sakow’s tenure.

His ensembles have received top honors at adjudicated

performances, and are considered amongst the finest

bands in California. The Santa Monica High School

Wind Ensemble performed at the California Music

Educators Association Convention in 2006. The Wind

Ensemble also performed in Carnegie Hall in 2007.

Many past members of the Wind Ensemble have

continued their music education at prestigious conser-

vatories, universities, and schools of music.

Mr. Sakow was born in Yokosuka, Japan. Because his

father was in the U.S. Navy, Mr. Sakow grew up in

Japan, Hawaii, and California, beginning his musi-

cal studies in the 6th grade in Poway, California as

a trumpeter in the school band. Mr. Sakow earned a

Bachelor of Arts in music from UCLA in 1989 and

later a Masters in Music Education from the University

of Illinois in 1997.

His musical mentors are Karl Fitch, Lar Best, Marc

Davis, Gerald and Linda Anderson, Chris Schwabe,

Samuel Krachmalnick, Dr. Thomas Lee, Gordon

Henderson, Gary Rosenblatt and Dr. Abel Ramirez.

Mr. Sakow also is the principal trumpet player of the

Santa Monica College Orchestra and the Santa Monica

College Concert Band. Despite of his busy schedule

as a high school band director, he still finds time to

perform on the trumpet and is invited to perform with

many community and university ensembles around

Southern California.

In August of 2008 KATHLEEN JANERT was

appointed Associate Band Director at Santa Monica

High School where she teaches Concert Bands, March-

ing Band, and a Piano Class.

Ms. Janert was born in San Antonio, Texas. She

started piano lessons at age 4 and in the sixth grade,

began playing the trumpet in the Northside Indepen-

dent School District in San Antonio. A very accom-

plished trumpet player in high school, she continued

her studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio

for two years and then completed her Bachelor of Arts

in Music at the University of Texas at Austin in 2005.

After completing her degree, Ms. Janert was appointed

band director at Wood Middle School in San Antonio.

During her tenure there the band program’s enrollment

increased significantly. The Wood Bands also received

top honors at the district University Interscholastic

League Concert Band Contests under her direction.

Ms. Janert plays her trumpet with the Santa Monica

College Band and is an instructor for Harmony Project,

an inner city music youth program. She really enjoys

the beautiful weather in West Los Angeles!
