Concert Etiquette
Concerts are a very important part of your child’s participation in the music program. Because a concert performance can make some people nervous, there are a few things you as an audience can do to make our concerts less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.
1. Please be seated before the starting time of the concert. 2. If you are bringing small children, please stress the importance of
being quiet while the music is being performed. 3. If you must leave for any reason, please do so between musical
selections. Please re-enter between selections as well. 4. If you have a small child who will not stop crying or can’t sit still, please
take him or her out of the performance room quickly and quietly. 5. Please avoid taking photos during the performance. The flash can
cause a problem with reading the music or following the conductor. 6. Please do not talk during the performance. Others may want to hear
the music. It may be their child’s “big part”. 7. Please do not call out your child’s name before, during or after the
group’s performance. 8. Please turn off all cell phones before the performance begins .
Let’s do what we can to make all concerts a huge success!

Program Notes
Edmondson, The Gold Medallion March Written in a modified march form, this American style march utilizes an AABA melodic form for the first strain, excludes a second strain and modulates in typical march fashion for the trio. Emphasis is placed on style, phrase shape and dynamic contrast throughout the march.
Holst, The Planets
The Planets, Opus 32 is a seven movement orchestral suite by the English composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916. The concept of the work is astrological rather than astronomical, which is why Earth is not included in the seven movements. Mars, The Bringer of War features a driving rhythmic ostinato pattern in the 5/4 time signature that draws upon the imagery of a warring army. Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity begins with a flurry of sound, and a forceful brass fanfare. Jupiter’s mood swings back and forth between a lighter jovial spirit and a heavier swagger.
Lightfoot, Jubilate, Alleluia!
Jubilate, Alleluia! was composed by Mary Lynn Lightfoot in 2009. This choral composition contains both Latin and English text and is one of many voicing arrangements available, this particular one being performed in SAB (soprano-alto-baritone) format. Lightfoot wrote this piece with driving energy by using rhythmic features such as syncopation and changing meters. Lightfoot also uses suspended harmonies and dissonance to add to the colors of the sound and contribute to the energy required to perform this piece.
Gilpin, Breathe Soft, Ye Winds
Breathe Soft, Ye Winds borrows a quote from The Sixth Pastoral by English poet and politician Ambrose Philips (1674-1749). This phrase comes from a concluding poem in Philips’ Pastorals, which features a singing contest comparing Queen Anne to Queen Elizabeth, an allusion to the Shepherds Calendar, and a reference to the Faerie Queen—later editions introduce references to Merlin and Arthur. The poem is dialogue between shepherds that speak of rural love and spring, and the description of springtime showcases Philips’ love for nature. To embellish these features, Greg Gilpin wrote this choral composition with flowing melodies, long vocal phrases, and colorful harmonic textures.
arr. Halloran/Bolks, Witness
The original arrangement Witness by Jack Halloran was first released in 1986 in an a cappella setting for 8-part mixed voices (SSAATTBB—two soprano parts, two altos, two tenors, and two basses...that’s a lot!). Witness is a setting of a traditional spiritual, a genre of American folk music that articulate the suffering, longing, and religious passion of African Americans during slavery and its aftermath. Religious hymns, work songs, along with traditional African rhythms and chanting styles all contributed to the development of spirituals. Witness tells of biblical accounts of miracles and occurrences, all through the open, declarative, strong, and harmonically lush performance of this choral work.
Erickson, Air for Band One of the stronger tendencies of twentieth century music has been a return to certain aspects of music of the Baroque and Classical periods. Compositions falling into this category are referred to as "neo classic." Air for Band is such a piece. The form (binary) was quite common in the Baroque period and the melody and harmonies were strongly influenced by the works of Bach.
Program Notes
Sousa/arr. Balent, Washington Post March
The Washington Post March is a patriotic march composed by John Philip Sousa. In 1889, owners of the Washington Post newspaper requested the then-current leader of the Marine Band to compose a march for the newspaper’s essay contest awards ceremony. Sousa obliged and it was first performed on June 15, 1889 at the ceremony and became an instant hit. The Washington Post March is written in 6/8 meter and utilizes a typical march form with a “dog fight” between the restatements of the trio melody. Fraser, The King Across The Water This exciting work is based on an event in the life of Bonnie Prince Charlie. He had returned to Scotland and was gathering about him an army heading south towards England, which had sent Sir John Cope to fight with him. The traditional folk-song "Johnnie Cope" is the basis of all of the themes in the work. Charlie attacked the English at Presonpans outside Edinburgh - this is represented by "Battle" - where the theme appears as fanfares and battle shrieks. There followed a period of mourning as the English had been massacred - "Lament" - in which the theme is fragmented into long sustained phrases. The Scots rejoiced and celebrated in Edinburgh - "Dancing" - where the theme is the original used as a reel (a traditional dance).
Narverud, Ad Astra
“Per aspera ad astra,” or “ad astra per aspera,” is a popular Latin phrase meaning “through hardships to the stars.” The phrase is one of the many Latin sayings that use the expression “ad astra” meaning “to the stars.” “Ad astra” has origins with Virgil, who wrote sic itur ad astra (“thus one journeys to the stars,” from Aeneid book IX, spoken by Apollo to Aeneas’ young son Iulus. The phrase is used as, or as part of, the motto of many organizations, most prominently, many air forces. Narverud references the phrase as the state motto of Kansas. The combination of intense harmonies with dissonance and a wide-ranged and full accompaniment underneath paints the feeling of soaring through the stars. Further dissonance between the triple and duple rhythms resemble hardships and at the same time propel the piece in its performance.
Rentz, There Will Come Soft Rains
Earlene Rentz included the following performance notes There Will Come Soft Rains : “The poetry of Sara Teasdale determined the style and compositional devices used in this setting. From the introductory melodic vocal material to the downward direction of the grace notes in the accompaniment, the imagery of falling raindrops on the ground is heard. In the future presentations of the introductory theme, the use of canon and other imitative devices seemed effective to accompany the text. Other visual references to nature (birds, frogs, etc.) are images of the outdoors, and the care-free spirit of the glories of nature, the lack of worry of the world’s state of being, etc.” The mood of the story-telling and creation of an atmosphere of absolute and awe and wonder of the world’s beauty comes through the text.
arr. Moore, Will the Circle Be Unbroken
The hymn “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” first appeared in the 1908 Alexander’s Gospel Songs, with words by Ada Ruth Habershon and music by Charles H. Gabriel. The hymn was substantially reworked (and the lyrics of the verses replaced) by A.P. Carter for The Carter Family in 1935 and experienced a popular renaissance when it was released by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1972. When A.P. Carter adapted Will The Circle Be Unbroken to Can The Circle Be Unbroken (By and by), it was released as a country/folk song in the style of bluegrass. Bluegrass has roots in traditional English, Irish, and Scottish ballads and dance tunes, and by traditional African-American blues and jazz. The updated lyrics in this arrangement were written by folk singers Betsy Rose, Cathy Winter, and Marcia Taylor, and printed in the marvelous folk song resource Rise Up Singing. These lyrics were requested by Dr. Cathy Roma and the MUSE Women’s Choir of Cincinnati for a concert celebrating the city’s Appalachian cultural heritage in 2001. In 2013, a version of this song is featured in a popular video game, Bioshock Infinite.
