WELCOME

Welcome to our 57th season!We are delighted to bring you exciting music performed by our dedicated musicians, directed by our outstanding conductor and highlighted by John Thorne, our wonderful soloist. We hope you enjoy your afternoon with us and that you will return with your family and friends for our next series concert on February 10. Today we offer an exciting program including Paul Hindemith’s Symphony in B-flat. The Symphony in B-flat is a cornerstone piece for wind ensemble and is one of the most prominent and widely known pieces for band.

The Northshore Concert Band is honoring Frederick L. Hemke today with our lifetime achievement award. Dr. Hemke has been a long- time friend and five time guest soloist with the NCB. We thank Dr. Hemke for a career devoted to leadership, dedication, and promotion of wind music.

Looking ahead, our February program will feature high school instrumentalists from the Chicagoland area as part of our Lifetime of Music initiative. Fifty young musicians will share the stage with the Northshore Band to demonstrate that music is indeed for a lifetime. On this concert day, we will host our seventh annual silent auction. This event should provide fun for all and an opportunity for you and all attendees to support this important musical initiative.

Please take a moment to look over the ads throughout this program book and patronize the businesses who contribute to our programs. We can never have too many friends or supporters.

Finally, we want to thank you for coming today. Although we enjoy our rehearsals and love to prepare good music, our ultimate reward is having the opportunity to share our music with you. Please come again and, if you really liked us — bring a few friends!

Sincerely,

Laura StibichNCB Board Chair

ABOUT US

The Northshore Concert Band (NCB) is a 100-member adult symphonic band with member-ship drawn from the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Founded in 1956 by the late John P. Paynter, the ensemble has become internationally known and respected for its musical excel-lence, membership continuity, and service to music education. Dr. Mallory Thompson, director of bands and professor of conducting at Northwestern University, is NCB’s artistic director. Thompson is in great demand as a guest conductor and clinician throughout the United States and is widely regarded as one of the leading wind conductors in the nation.

NCB performs 10 to12 concerts a year in the Chicago metropolitan area, reaching over 20,000 people. These include a four-concert series at Northwestern University’s Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, educational outreach programs at area schools, many summer con-certs at the invitation of various communities and venues, and professional band festivals and conferences. Over the years, the group has worked with many renowned soloists and conductors, including Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, Frederick Fennell, Leroy Ander-son, and dozens of musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, including Christo-pher Martin, John Bruce Yeh, Dale Clevenger, Adolph Herseth, and Mathieu Dufour.

ABOUT US c o n t.

NCB has produced eight CDs and receives playtime on Chicago’s classical music station, WFMT, among others. The band has also toured in Canada and Europe and extensively throughout the United States. NCB’s mission is deeply rooted in the concept of “community” and in encouraging involvement in music for people at all stages of life. NCB strives to be a leader in performance, educational outreach, recorded works, and new commissions, while reaffirming the heritage of bands in America. Several programs in NCB’s Lifetime of Music initiative help further the band’s educational mission. NCB co-sponsors the Northshore Concert Band/Northwestern University Festival, which annually provides 4,000 Chicago area young musicians the opportunity to per-form solos and ensembles, with NCB members serving as judges and clinicians. The band also awards its John P. Paynter Scholarship to an outstanding young musician and invites dozens of talented high school students to perform with the band at the Winter Concert to help encour-age young people to pursue their musical endeavors after graduation.

The ensemble’s musicians come from throughout the Chicago area, northern Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, and represent many professional backgrounds. Approximately half are professional music educators; the rest have a diverse set of occupations including busi-ness executives, attorneys, and physicians. Musicians range in age from 20 to 85, many with a tenure of two decades or more with the ensemble. All of the musicians are selected by audition and are strongly committed to volunteering their time and talents to the group.

NCB has sponsored three adult band conferences and has published a guide to organiz-ing community bands. The guide has been used by hundreds of community bands over the past 20 years. These community band resources are available for download on our website, www.northshoreband.org.

PROGR A M NOTES

Ryan Nowlin (b. 1978) – Fanfare for the Centennial (2011)A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Ryan Nowlin began his music career teaching in the pub-lic schools. While teaching, Nowlin was also an active composer, writing for concert bands of all levels, brass ensembles, solo instruments, and co-authoring the band method series Tradition of Excellence. Eventually, Nowlin’s love and talent for compos-ing grew, and he joined “the President’s Own” United States Marine Band where he currently serves as staff arranger.

Fanfare for the Centennial was written to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the composer’s alma mater, Bowling Green State University. Using only shadows and hints of the university’s Alma Mater, this fanfare attempts to capture the spirit and enthusiasm of the past one hundred years of education as well as the excite-ment of the next one hundred.

“Make us worthy sons and daughters” is the text of the musical fragment passed around the brass in the opening material. This motive is used to build momentum into the cen-tennial theme, first stated by the horns amid flourishing woodwind lines. The composer continues with a harmonic shape, melodic contour, and celebratory energy reminiscent of the final line of the Alma Mater: “From the halls of ivy to the campus scene, chimes ring out with gladness for our dear Bowling Green.”

Robert Spittal (b. 1963) – Pacem – A Hymn for Peace (2004)The music of Robert Spittal reflects the range of his pursuits as a composer, conductor and teacher. As director of the brass ensemble Clarion, he has presented over forty pre-mieres of works for brass choir and percussion. Spittal also conducts the Wind Symphony at Gonzaga University, where he has served as chair of the Music Department since 2000. His compositional output includes music for winds, guitar ensembles, jazz ensembles and musical theater. About Pacem, the composer writes:

As is the case with most of my compositions, I wrote Pacem – A Hymn for Peace for a friend who also happens to be a musician. The work was composed for Patrick Brooks and his wind ensemble at Idaho State University. The themes and structure of the piece are based on the second movement of my Consort for Ten Winds, which impressed Pat at a chamber recording session I led in 1999. I intended Consort to be a contemporary reflection of older music, and for the second movement to reflect the beautiful, imitative motet style of the Renaissance composers I admire, such as Josquin Des Prez and Palestrina. While many of the stylistic and inherently lyrical elements of Consort are retained in Pacem (the title is Latin for “peace”), the large-scale instrumental forces of the symphonic wind ensemble presented opportunities to expand the musical proportions of Pacem.Rather than simply an “arrangement” of the earlier chamber work, Pacem became an original piece unto itself. The musical proportions range from the introspective to the epic, reflecting the scope of human-ity’s persistent, hopeful and often difficult struggle toward the realization of personal and universal peace.

Albert Franz Doppler (1821-1883) – Fantaisie pastorale hongroise (c.1870)Ukrainian-born musician Albert Franz Doppler was one of the most renowned flute virtuosi of the nineteenth century. Also a talented Romantic composer, he gained fame for his orchestration of six of Franz Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies. Though Doppler com-posed many German and Hungarian operas and ballets, he is remembered today for his contributions to the flute repertoire. Fantaisie pastorale hongroise (Hungarian Pastoral

Fantasy), scored for flute and piano, was written after Doppler moved to Vienna in 1858 to teach flutists at the Vienna Conservatory. Eventually, Doppler returned to Hungary and established the Hungarian Philharmonic Orchestra.

The mood and themes of Fantaisie pastorale hongroise are inspired by the long days Franz Doppler spent touring with his brother Karl, also a well-known flute virtuoso. Even when transcribed from piano to full wind ensemble, the accompaniment is structured in a way that keeps the solo flute on full display. The melodies are rhapsodic and meandering, but a pastoral, folk-like spirit is expressed throughout the work’s contrasting sections.

Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) – Symphony in B-Flat (1951)Paul Hindemith was a rare musician known not only for his talent as a composer, but for his work as a professional violinist and violist, a pianist, conductor, and teacher. He could play virtually every instrument in the orchestra and if he was unfamiliar with one he would take a week or so to master it. Hindemith was born in Hanau, Germany, in 1895. His father was a house painter, who played the zither and encouraged his children to explore their musical talents. Hindemith began violin lessons at the age of nine and was later enrolled at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfort from 1908 to 1917. When his father was killed in the war in 1915, he had to support his mother by playing in cafes. He was concertmaster for the Frankfurt Opera (1915 - 1923) except for a two-year period when he was called into service and became part of the regimental band. His compositions represented the neo-baroque, working in the classic forms of the fugue, sonata, and suite in a manner identified with Bach. His interest in composing Gebrauchsmusik (music for

practical use rather than music for art’s sake) put him in displeasure with the rising Nazi party. In 1938, he left for Switzerland and later the United States, becoming head of the School of Music at Yale University in 1942 and a US citizen in 1946. Returning to Switzer-land in 1953, he resided there until his death in 1963.

In addition to operas, symphonies and numerous other orchestral works, Hindemith wrote music for chamber ensembles, keyboard instruments and choral groups. His sonatas for each of the wind instruments have long served as exemplary material for advanced performers. When he was commissioned to compose a march for the United States Army Band, Hindemith became so engrossed in the project that he produced a twenty-minute symphony, one of the masterworks for the wind band. The composer premiered the work in Washington, D.C. on April 5, 1951.

The three-movement symphony shows Hindemith’s great contrapuntal skill and the organized logic of his thematic material. It has been hailed as a model symphonic work of length, breadth, and content that served as an inspiration to other twentieth century composers. Although Hindemith wrote many scores that have become reper-tory items, his Symphony in B-Flat remains his lone contribution to the literature for full concert band.

The first movement is set in sonata-allegro form with recapitulations of three themes shifting between the woodwinds and brass. The sparse scoring of the second move-ment emphasizes the tonal colors of the woodwinds. Hindemith quietly completes the opening theme before beginning a contrasting, fresh theme marked “fast and gay.” The opening duet theme, set by the alto saxophone and cornet, provides the basic mate-rial for the remainder of the movement. The third movement abounds with energy and unusual orchestration. The trumpets and cornets establish the first theme, which is used as the basis of the fugue. Hindemith broke tradition by transferring the major thematic material into the hands of the less common instruments. The closing theme rises with intensity and restates previous material leading to the brass and percussion declaration on a powerful final cadence.
