Program Notes

Debussy’s La Cathedrale engloutie, or Engulfed Cathedral (trasnc. Patterson) is a masterwork in musical storytelling and Impressionism. Originally from Debussy’s first book of preludes, this piece describes an old Brittony myth, in which the Cathedral of Ys is swallowed by the sea as punishment for its sinful patronage. Each morning, the townsfolk would watch as the cathedral would slowly rise out of the sea at sunrise and then be swallowed by the water as a grim reminder of their transgressions. Debussy uses parallelism through harmonic planing throughout the work to depict the rise and fall of the cathedral through the early morning mists. As the cathedral rises, the bells and chimes can be heard from within, as well as the church organ, described by a C-pedal at the loudest part of the piece. It is during this section where the melody can be heard free of the harmonic “cloudiness”, clearly, when the cathedral is completely out of the water. The harmonic planing technique returns as the structure returns to the watery depths, with a mournful melody in the english horn, as the townsfolk regret their sinful behavior. 

O Magnum Mysterium (O Great Mystery) was originally a choir composition by the prolific choral composer Morten Lauridsen. The Latin text setting derives from the Matins of Christmas of the Eastern Orthodox liturgy, a portion of services held on early Christmas morning or at midnight. Lauridsen writes “For centuries, composers have been inspired by the beautiful O Magnum Mysterium text… In composing music to these inspirational words about Christ’s birth and the veneration of the Virgin Mary, I sought to impart a transforming spiritual experience within what I call ‘a quiet song of profound inner joy.’ I wanted this piece to resonate immediately and deeply into the core of the listener, to illumine through sound.”

The wind band setting was transcribed by internationally renowned conductor, orchestrator, and educator, H. Robert Reynolds, who passed away last month in January 2026, after a 91-year life containing 64-years of influence in music. The work is heard in two subliminal verses, before expanding beyond the only significant dissonance in harmony (Virgo, Blessed Virgin), that propels a magnificent full ensemble orchestration, proclaiming the Alleluia. The piece recedes back to the secure, mellow, and sublime.

Big City Lights is a piece for wind band, inspired by the Hip-Hop sub-genre “Trap Music” which finds its roots in the composer’s hometown, Atlanta, Georgia. The atonal piece has an electronic accompaniment aspect as well. There are musical elements that are meant to imitate techniques which are commonly utilized during the production of music within the genre. For example, in general the timpani performs what are intended to be “808’s”, while the tuba is often performing lines that would be reserved for synthesized bass; the combination creates an often utilized distortion technique.

Other production tactics travel through the ensemble as well. Certain aspects of the orchestration are imitating automation, which places the sound exclusively in different spots of the ensemble (specifically on the left or right of the conductor). Sudden and gradual ensemble crescendos and dovetailing of melodies imitate low and high pass filters and volume knobs. Additionally, the piece aims to give the performers and audience a peek into a day in the life of an Atlanta resident.

The piece begins with the high-paced “It’s Lit!!” section which includes fortissimo exclamations occurring throughout the ensemble. Demonstrating the hustle and bustle of the famed Atlanta traffic. The traffic sounds perform a trio with the clarinets and marimba, who depict a sense of “hurry and wait”, as they endure the Atlanta traffic scene. The “Issa Vibe” section is much slower and intends to depict a night out on the town with friends, enjoying the city lights and the slightly slower paced environment.

For a short period, we return to “It’s Lit!!” followed by “Chopped and Screwed,” which is a halftime recapitulation of the main themes. “Chopped and Screwed” is a famous DJ style where a song is slowed down tremendously. The piece closes out with one final return to the original marking of “It’s Lit”. Enjoy a day in the life of an “AtLien”!

-Program note by the composer
 

The Tritsch-Tratsch Polka (Johann Strauss Jr., transc. Alfred Reed) is meant to depict (and literally translates to) chit-chat, or gossip, in the Viennese popular dialect. The effect of this little musical two-part form with a trio is that of a busy, nittering, nattering little group of people exchanging gossip in a never-ending rush of words and exclamations. Hushed voices trying to keep a secret are punctuated by sudden exclamations from others, unable to contain their excitement. This piece is a fun, stylistic study on the beauty of contrast in music, and its ability to create an emotional, almost-comedic effect. 
 

Shadow Rituals begins with the percussion section, and shortly after we hear the first theme played by the clarinets. The first theme is later heard in the flutes and bells before returning to the clarinets. Most of Shadow Rituals is related to the opening section, and the majority of the motives heard throughout are related to the first theme.

The second theme is very syncopated and is first heard in the horns and is followed by a development section. The piece then has a brief moment of release as the flutes sustain a unison pitch. Then the third theme is played by a solo euphonium. The third theme is presented in cannon in the bassoon, alto sax, and clarinets. The third theme is a perfect palindrome; if you played it backwards it would sound exactly the same. The first theme returns before a coda, but has been altered to fit a 6-beat pattern instead of a 5-beat pattern. This alteration is presented by the trumpets, over which an augmentation of theme one is expressed by the woodwinds. Shadow Rituals ends with a brief statement of the first theme by the woodwinds, and a brief statement of the second theme by the winds and brass.

- Program Note by composer

Song for Lyndsay was commissioned by Jack Stamp at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. It is an expansion on a short and unnamed piano piece that Boysen wrote for his wife, Lyndsay, in 2005.

The wind piece is larger in length and scope than the source material; in the score, Boysen describes it as “a very personal work ... more than anything else a simple love song dedicated to Lyndsay and what she has meant in my life.”

The piano piece is used as a starting point, and the material in the winds is either based on or a direct quotation of it. Lyrical in nature and just over five minutes long, solo horn and solo flute are prominent throughout; this scoring is deliberately and symbolically used because Boysen plays the horn and his wife plays the flute.

- Program Note from publisher

Two overtures associated with the old-time park band concerts of the day when those events were at their peak in popularity are Rossini's William Tell and Suppé's Poet and Peasant. Although Suppé is noted as the composer of a great number of comic operas, this particular work did not belong to an opera until several years after its 1845 composition date. The themes from this overture are among the most often quoted material for comic effects for stage productions and animated cartoons probably because they represent, in sound, an era of nostalgia and are familiar to audiences of all age groups. It is for this reason, if no other, that the composition deserves to be heard in its original context as a serious but highly entertaining selection.

Composed in 1889, The Thunderer is one of John Philip Sousa’s most celebrated concert marches. Written during Sousa’s tenure with the U.S. Marine Band, the piece exemplifies his mastery of the American march style, brilliant brass fanfares, crisp articulation, and buoyant rhythmic drive. The title is often interpreted as referring to a powerful orator, reflecting the bold and declamatory character of the opening strain. Following the traditional march form, contrasting themes unfold with elegance and balance before arriving at the iconic trio section, where a broad, lyrical melody emerges over a flowing accompaniment. The Thunderer remains a cornerstone of wind band repertoire, combining patriotic vigor with refined craftsmanship.

Irish Tune from County Derry is Grainger’s luminous setting of the traditional melody commonly associated with “Londonderry Air.” First arranged in 1918 and later revised for wind band in 1920, the work reflects Grainger’s deep affection for folk music and his commitment to preserving its expressive nuance. Rather than treating the melody as a simple hymn-like statement, Grainger enriches it with warm harmonic colors, flowing inner lines, and carefully layered textures. The result is both intimate and expansive, allowing the melody to unfold with quiet dignity before rising to a radiant climax. This setting remains one of the most cherished lyrical works in the wind band repertoire.

Johan de Meij’s Symphony No. 1: The Lord of the Rings remains one of the most influential large-scale works in the wind band repertoire. Originally composed between 1984 and 1987 and premiered in 1988, the symphony was revised and issued in a newly engraved Complete Edition in 2023. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic trilogy, the five movements portray key characters and episodes from the story. The opening movement, “Gandalf (The Wizard),” presents a musical portrait of the wise and noble wizard who leads the Fellowship of the Ring. A stately, expansive theme represents Gandalf’s authority and inner strength—a motif that reappears in later movements of the symphony. The sudden Allegro vivace captures the unpredictability and dynamic energy of the Grey Wizard, culminating in a vivid musical depiction of his ride on the legendary horse Shadowfax. Through bold contrasts, sweeping melodic lines, and dramatic orchestration, de Meij conveys both Gandalf’s wisdom and formidable power.

Dawn was originally created by the graduating seniors of a high school band club in Hokkaido, Japan. Each member contributed text, which was then woven together into a unified message of gratitude and farewell. The students rehearsed the piece in secret and surprised their band director with its performance at their graduation ceremony. The title was inspired by “Lever du jour” (Daybreak) from Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé—the ensemble’s primary contest work that year. Like Ravel’s radiant sunrise, Dawn captures a moment of transition: the quiet reflection before departure and the hopeful light of a new beginning. In this arrangement for chorus and band by Koh Shishikura, warm harmonic textures and lyrical melodic lines support the sincerity of the text. The piece unfolds gently, allowing the voices and instruments to blend in an atmosphere of gratitude, nostalgia, and optimism. More than a farewell, Dawn is a tribute to shared experiences, mentorship, and the enduring bonds formed through music.

Performed jointly by the University of Washington Concert Band and the Seattle Chinese Chorus.
