Alan Baer joined the New York Philharmonic on June 21, 2004, as Principal Tuba. He was formerly principal tuba with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. His other performing credits include recordings with The Cleveland Orchestra led by Vladimir Ashkenazy, performances with the Peninsula Music Festival of Wisconsin, New Orleans Symphony, Los Angeles Concert Orchestra, Ojai Festival Orchestra (California), Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He has also performed as a featured soloist, touring several countries in Europe, including Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and France. Mr. Baer began his undergraduate work at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where he studied with Dr. Gary Bird. He completed his bachelor of music degree with Ronald Bishop at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and has done graduate work at the University of Southern California, Cleveland Institute of Music, and California State University, Long Beach, where he studied with Tommy Johnson. While in Long Beach, Mr. Baer taught at California State University, where he also directed the university tuba ensemble and the brass choir. In Milwaukee, Mr. Baer was adjunct professor of tuba and euphonium at the University of Wisconsin and director of the Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble.
Emmett Rapaport is a senior at Ridgewood High School. He is currently a student of Lois Hicks-Wozniak and has previously studied with Mark Friedman. At RHS, Emmett has been a member of the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Lab, Big Band, Percussion Ensemble, Saxophone Quartet, and Saxophone Ensemble. Additionally, he has performed in the Pit Orchestra for the New Players' musicals Guys and Dolls and The Drowsy Chaperone. He has played alto and tenor saxophone in the RHS Marching Band and
is currently the soprano chair of the RHS saxophone quartet. Emmett had been a recipient of a RHS "Maroon and White" Solo Recital for the past three years. Outside of the RHS music program, Emmett has had the privilege of holding principal chairs in many honors ensembles including the NJ Region I Symphonic Band, the NJ Region I Saxophone Ensemble, the NJ Region I Jazz Ensemble, the NJ All State Symphonic Band, and the NJ All State Jazz Ensemble. He was also named Overall Outstanding Soloist at the2013 Princeton Jazz Festival. Through these opportunities Emmett has had the pleasure of working with outstanding artists including Dave Stryker, Michael Philip Mossman, Tom Malone, Wayne Bergeron, David Demsey, and Don Braden. Additionally, Emmett values teaching just as much as performing. Every summer, he is a volunteer teaching assistant at the Ridgewood Summer Music Academy, instructing younger woodwind students, hoping to spread the passion and joy of musical studies. Emmett has also attended programs including the Wells Fargo Jazz for Teens program and the Eastman Saxophone Summer Institute. Emmett would like to thank his teachers Lois Hicks-Wozniak, Mark Friedman, his band directors, Mr. Jeffrey Haas and Mr. John Luckenbill III for their instruction and guidance, and his family and friends for their never ending support.
SIDE-BY-SIDE STUDENT MUSICIANS One of the most important missions of the Ridgewood Concert Band is to reach out to the youth in our area and expose them to fine wind ensemble literature and performance. With this in mind, Dr. Chris Wilhjelm suggested that we set up a concert in which deserving high school students would have the opportunity to play side-by-side with the musicians in the RCB and prepare several works that would challenge them musically and involve them in a professional level performance situation. Music teachers from the RCB and area high schools made their recommendations, and we are delighted this evening to host the 6th Annual “Side-by-Side Concert.” The music you will hear during the second half of tonight’s concert is the result of hours of personal practice as well as joint rehearsals with the students and the RCB. It is our hope that the students and you, our audience, will find this annual event both educational and enjoyable. Below are the names of the student participants. We are grateful to them, their teachers, their parents, Dr. Chris Wilhjelm and the Side-by-Side Committee (Heidi Kolb, Alecia Ali, and Dave Bychek) for making this performance possible. We would also like to give a special "thanks" to Music & Arts in Paramus for donating the student folders.

The Lively Flapper – John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) Although not among the composer’s most popular works, this piece was originally written in 1923 as part of a suite named “Leaves from My Notebook.” Sousa dedicated the suite to The Campfire Girls of America who were often present at concerts to shower Sousa with gifts and honors as he toured the country with his band. The suite consisted of three very feminine musical sketches. The last called The Lively Flapper vividly portrays all of the flash, speed and non-stop energy of the famed “flappers” of the Roaring Twenties. Concerto for Tuba and Wind Ensemble – Gary D. Ziek (b. 1960) wrote this concerto for Alan Baer in January of 2011 for Mr. Baer’s appearance with the Emporia State University Wind Ensemble. The work is in three movements, each reflecting different facets of the tuba as a solo instrument. The first movement titled Soaring, starts with a series of tuba fanfares, alternating with responses from the ensemble. The mood becomes increasingly agitated leading to the first full ensemble impact. There are moments when the tuba is heard soaring above the ensemble, with numerous lyrical episodes. The movement comes to a rousing conclusion with final statements of the melody being sounded in the woodwinds. The second movement titled Romance, begins with a gentle, flowing Siciliano. This leads to a waltz, which requires considerable lyricism and agility from the soloist. The Siciliano returns as the movement ends in a moment of quiet repose. This contemplative mood is abruptly shattered by the beginning of the 3rd movement titled Riot! Dissonant pyramids of sound set the stage for this final movement. Driving rhythms and furious, challenging tuba lines underscore the virtuosity of the artist throughout this movement. The soloist displays a short cadenza, leading to a lilting feel and coda, bringing the piece to a driving conclusion. Congress Hall March – John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) Congress Hall is the name of a historic hotel in Cape May, New Jersey, a popular summer resort area. Sousa was so impressed by Cape May City and Congress Hall that he wrote a song named after the hotel and his band played it on the lawn of the prestigious resort. Of all the bands and orchestras that came to Cape May since the early 19th century, the one that outshone the others in international fame and popularity was the renowned Marine Band conducted by John Philip Sousa. The military marches were played with such distinctive verve and enthusiasm that it caused Sousa himself to say “A march should make a man with a wooden leg step out.” Whether there were any wooden legs in the audience when Sousa performed on the lawn of Congress Hall during the summer of 1882, is not known. But there were many people with healthy legs who stood and cheered and stepped out when they were inspired by the Sousa music. Selections from Disney/Pixar's “Up” -- Michael Giacchino (b. 1967) was educated at Julliard in music and film production. His first major composition was for DreamWorks Studios for the video game adaptation of the 1997 movie “Jurassic Park, The Lost World”. That was the first PlayStation and Sega Saturn video game to be recorded with an original live orchestral score. Giacchino has since continued his relationship with DreamWorks, providing full orchestral scores for many of their popular video games. Since then he has gone on to work for Disney Pictures and Pixar Films, writing original soundtrack music for the 2004 computer-animated super hero film titled “The Incredibles.” Continuing with Disney/Pixar, he wrote the soundtrack score for the 2009 computer-animated comedy-adventure film “Up”, the story of an elderly widower and an earnest young wilderness explorer who fly to South America in an airborne house suspended by helium balloons. “Up” won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and for the Best Original Score (by Michael Giacchino). Musical selections from the movie heard here were arranged for concert band by Michael Brown. Program Notes compiled by Marcie Phelan
PROGRAM NOTES The Liberty Bell – John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) was inspired in 1893 while watching his son march in a parade celebrating the return of the Liberty Bell back to Philadelphia following a tour across the country. Sousa knew that a march honoring that great icon of freedom would serve not only as a celebration of the bell itself, but also the ideals it represents. The march is in typical Sousa style, full of bouncy rhythms, brilliant in its orchestration, both melodic and stirring. It is one of his finest and popular marches, bringing attention to the Liberty Bell itself through the use of chimes during the trio. It Takes a Long Time to Grow Up in NJ – William Vollinger (b.1945) This piece is about New Jersey, but is neither a salute to native tourist attractions or native Rock music. New Jersey is often the butt of jokes. We tend to commute to two big cities on our opposite sides. Most of our teams aren’t really ours. Like Illinois and Louisiana, we’ve had more than our share of scandals. That creates an identity crisis that we’ve learned to live with, the subject of this piece. As for the music: most of my works use words, and in recent years is narrated. Traditionally if there’s narration in a piece of concert music, the words are spoken freely wherever they’re placed in the score (e.g. Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait”). In this piece words are rhythmically notated as carefully and naturally as possible, with the instruments matching the rhythms, creating a kind of musically amplified speech, in this case colloquial. Both my wife and I and all our parents grew up in New Jersey. We are therefore bona fide Jersey natives. But in writing this piece I started to feel love and sympathy and yes pride for our state, not based on outward appearance (or lack of it), but for whom we are on the inside, humble and for real. I feel like I’m hugging New Jersey while we’re laughing. And I’m grateful to the Ridgewood Concert Band and Dr. Wilhjelm to share this music with you. Program Notes by the composer The Whistler and His Dog – Arthur Pryor (1870-1942) was a virtuoso performer, conductor, composer, arranger, teacher and author, and continues to be a major influence in American musical life. He was an acclaimed solo trombonist and arranger in John Philip Sousa’s band, a celebrated conductor and the composer of some of the most popular tunes of the early 1900’s. Additionally, Pryor was a pioneering phonograph recording artist, an educator and a founding father of several major musical organizations. A household name for three decades, Pryor’s Band was second in fame only to John Philip Sousa’s. The Whistler and His Dog is decisively the composer’s most popular work. Most listeners may not always recall the title but seldom forget the catchy melody. The familiar tune was used frequently as background music for many early motion pictures to provide a relaxed setting for the action. The composer was also known to engage the audience of his band concerts at the turn of the 20th Century with an invitation to whistle along with the piccolo. Show Boat (Selection for Concert Band) – Jerome Kern (1885-1945) and Oscar Hammerstein 2nd (1895-1960) Transcribed for Concert Band by Robert Russell Bennett (1894-1981) Before there was the musical Show Boat, musicals were reviews or comedies. Show Boat was the first true musical where songs, drama and story came together as a singular unit. It was in 1927 that the greatest revolution in the American musical theater arrived. Here was a completely new genre--the musical play as distinguished from musical comedy. Now, at long last, the play was the thing and everything else was subservient to that play. It was in this new production where theater goers could experience the complete integration of song, humor and production numbers into a single and inextricable artistic entity. Finally, here was a musical with a consistent and credible story line, authentic atmosphere and three-dimensional characters. The artistic joining of Kern’s lush score with the arranging talent of Robert Russell Bennett gave the American audience a Broadway musical that has endured and entertained for just short of a century.
Dr. Christian Wilhjelm, conductor, professional musician and educator, has been the Ridgewood Concert Band’s Musical Director since it was founded in 1983. He was also Music Director of the renowned Goldman Memorial Band in New York City. He regularly conducts the metropolitan area’s leading professional ensembles such as the Norwalk Symphony. As a French horn player, he has performed under the world’s great conductors including Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa, Sir Colin Davis and Arthur Fiedler. As a professional musician, Dr. Wilhjelm has played the French horn with the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops and, as a principal, with the Boston Ballet Orchestra, the Boston Opera Orchestra and the Richmond Symphony. An honors graduate of the New England Conservatory, he received his doctorate from Columbia University in 1998. He has been the band director at Pascack Hills High School since 1984. Dr. Wilhjelm was recently honored by his election to American Bandmasters Association. He is the 2012 recipient of the Outstanding Conductor Award presented by the Association of Concert Bands. Dr Wilhjelm is the state chair for the National Band Association. In 2013, he was elected to the Board of Directors for the Association of Concert Bands. The Ridgewood Concert Band (RCB), in its 31st season, is one of the leading wind ensembles in the United States. Founded by community leaders, dedicated musicians and Music Director Chris Wilhjelm in 1983, the RCB is committed to engaging and inspiring our audiences with the finest in traditional and contemporary wind literature. Led by Dr. Wilhjelm, the band is composed of professional, amateur and student players drawn from across the tri-state area. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Led by Dr. Wilhjelm, the band is composed of professional, amateur and student players drawn from across the tri-state area. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
SIDE-BY-SIDE STUDENT MUSICIANS One of the most important missions of the Ridgewood Concert Band is to reach out to the youth in our area and expose them to fine wind ensemble literature and performance. With this in mind, Dr. Chris Wilhjelm suggested that we set up a concert in which deserving high school students would have the opportunity to play side-by-side with the musicians in the RCB and prepare several works that would challenge them musically and involve them in a professional level performance situation. Music teachers from the RCB and area high schools made their recommendations, and we are delighted this evening to host the 6th Annual “Side-by-Side Concert.” The music you will hear during the second half of tonight’s concert is the result of hours of personal practice as well as joint rehearsals with the students and the RCB. It is our hope that the students and you, our audience, will find this annual event both educational and enjoyable. Below are the names of the student participants. We are grateful to them, their teachers, their parents, Dr. Chris Wilhjelm and the Side-by-Side Committee (Heidi Kolb, Alecia Ali, and Dave Bychek) for making this performance possible. We would also like to give a special "thanks" to Music & Arts in Paramus for donating the student folders.

The Lively Flapper – John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) Although not among the composer’s most popular works, this piece was originally written in 1923 as part of a suite named “Leaves from My Notebook.” Sousa dedicated the suite to The Campfire Girls of America who were often present at concerts to shower Sousa with gifts and honors as he toured the country with his band. The suite consisted of three very feminine musical sketches. The last called The Lively Flapper vividly portrays all of the flash, speed and non-stop energy of the famed “flappers” of the Roaring Twenties. Concerto for Tuba and Wind Ensemble – Gary D. Ziek (b. 1960) wrote this concerto for Alan Baer in January of 2011 for Mr. Baer’s appearance with the Emporia State University Wind Ensemble. The work is in three movements, each reflecting different facets of the tuba as a solo instrument. The first movement titled Soaring, starts with a series of tuba fanfares, alternating with responses from the ensemble. The mood becomes increasingly agitated leading to the first full ensemble impact. There are moments when the tuba is heard soaring above the ensemble, with numerous lyrical episodes. The movement comes to a rousing conclusion with final statements of the melody being sounded in the woodwinds. The second movement titled Romance, begins with a gentle, flowing Siciliano. This leads to a waltz, which requires considerable lyricism and agility from the soloist. The Siciliano returns as the movement ends in a moment of quiet repose. This contemplative mood is abruptly shattered by the beginning of the 3rd movement titled Riot! Dissonant pyramids of sound set the stage for this final movement. Driving rhythms and furious, challenging tuba lines underscore the virtuosity of the artist throughout this movement. The soloist displays a short cadenza, leading to a lilting feel and coda, bringing the piece to a driving conclusion. Congress Hall March – John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) Congress Hall is the name of a historic hotel in Cape May, New Jersey, a popular summer resort area. Sousa was so impressed by Cape May City and Congress Hall that he wrote a song named after the hotel and his band played it on the lawn of the prestigious resort. Of all the bands and orchestras that came to Cape May since the early 19th century, the one that outshone the others in international fame and popularity was the renowned Marine Band conducted by John Philip Sousa. The military marches were played with such distinctive verve and enthusiasm that it caused Sousa himself to say “A march should make a man with a wooden leg step out.” Whether there were any wooden legs in the audience when Sousa performed on the lawn of Congress Hall during the summer of 1882, is not known. But there were many people with healthy legs who stood and cheered and stepped out when they were inspired by the Sousa music. Selections from Disney/Pixar's “Up” -- Michael Giacchino (b. 1967) was educated at Julliard in music and film production. His first major composition was for DreamWorks Studios for the video game adaptation of the 1997 movie “Jurassic Park, The Lost World”. That was the first PlayStation and Sega Saturn video game to be recorded with an original live orchestral score. Giacchino has since continued his relationship with DreamWorks, providing full orchestral scores for many of their popular video games. Since then he has gone on to work for Disney Pictures and Pixar Films, writing original soundtrack music for the 2004 computer-animated super hero film titled “The Incredibles.” Continuing with Disney/Pixar, he wrote the soundtrack score for the 2009 computer-animated comedy-adventure film “Up”, the story of an elderly widower and an earnest young wilderness explorer who fly to South America in an airborne house suspended by helium balloons. “Up” won Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and for the Best Original Score (by Michael Giacchino). Musical selections from the movie heard here were arranged for concert band by Michael Brown. Program Notes compiled by Marcie Phelan

Emmett Rapaport is a senior at Ridgewood High School. He is currently a student of Lois Hicks-Wozniak and has previously studied with Mark Friedman. At RHS, Emmett has been a member of the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Lab, Big Band, Percussion Ensemble, Saxophone Quartet, and Saxophone Ensemble. Additionally, he has performed in the Pit Orchestra for the New Players' musicals Guys and Dolls and The Drowsy Chaperone. He has played alto and tenor saxophone in the RHS Marching Band and
is currently the soprano chair of the RHS saxophone quartet. Emmett had been a recipient of a RHS "Maroon and White" Solo Recital for the past three years. Outside of the RHS music program, Emmett has had the privilege of holding principal chairs in many honors ensembles including the NJ Region I Symphonic Band, the NJ Region I Saxophone Ensemble, the NJ Region I Jazz Ensemble, the NJ All State Symphonic Band, and the NJ All State Jazz Ensemble. He was also named Overall Outstanding Soloist at the2013 Princeton Jazz Festival. Through these opportunities Emmett has had the pleasure of working with outstanding artists including Dave Stryker, Michael Philip Mossman, Tom Malone, Wayne Bergeron, David Demsey, and Don Braden. Additionally, Emmett values teaching just as much as performing. Every summer, he is a volunteer teaching assistant at the Ridgewood Summer Music Academy, instructing younger woodwind students, hoping to spread the passion and joy of musical studies. Emmett has also attended programs including the Wells Fargo Jazz for Teens program and the Eastman Saxophone Summer Institute. Emmett would like to thank his teachers Lois Hicks-Wozniak, Mark Friedman, his band directors, Mr. Jeffrey Haas and Mr. John Luckenbill III for their instruction and guidance, and his family and friends for their never ending support.
