University BandsThe University of Southern Mississippi Band Program had its inception in 1920 with the foundingof the first aggregation of winds, mainly a brass ensemble for students who were training asteachers. Its current enrollment of approximately 300 students includes members from everypossible area of study in the university. While it is primarily housed in the School of Music, theBand Program truly is the University’s program.There are six segments of the program that include the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Winds,Concert Bands, University Band, the Basketball Pep Band, and “The Pride of Mississippi”Marching Band with an enrollment of 300 students. Each of these organizations, while having itsown distinct history, stem from the success of the Marching Band that began in the 1950s withthe hiring of Dr. Raymond Mannoni.Each of the Band Program’s concert ensembles has its place in the education of our musicmajors; however, the ensembles have also provided an outlet for students throughout theUniversity during both the first and second semesters. Just as the Marching Band provides aservice for football experiences, these other ensembles provide academic, recruitment, andcommunity services. The Wind Ensemble and the Symphonic Winds have performed for theMississippi Bandmasters Association state convention six times. All of the groups have providedenhancement to community projects that include numerous appearances for various citywideevents.As a Mississippi product, the Wind Ensemble has been featured on numerous radio broadcastsfrom Public Radio Mississippi and has been the only Mississippi group that can boast of havingbeen aired nationally on Public Radio International’s “Performance Today.” CD’s are producedannually to feature the bands’ musicians and are provided to recruits and Mississippi bandprograms as a service.

Notes(1) Kenneth Fuchs:Discover the WildBentley Shellahamer, distinguished music educator and professor at Florida State University, wasone of the most influential people in my formative years as a musician. As director of the bandprogram at Piper High School, in Sunrise, Florida, in the 1970s, he taught me music theory andhistory and encouraged me to compose music. He performed all of the apprentice works I wrotefor the band. By the time I graduated from Piper High School in 1974, I was very well prepared topursue undergraduate studies in musical composition at the University of Miami School of Music.Dr. Shellahamer asked that I reconcile my 2008 orchestral work Discover the Wild for windband, and he included it on a concert of my band music with Tallahassee Winds in October 2010.Discover the Wild is cast in the form of a three-part overture. The principal musical elements ofthe composition include a motive based upon the interval of the perfect fourth robustly stated inunison at the outset by four French horns. A lyrical theme follows, characterized by the intervalof the perfect fifth. These musical elements are taken up in various melodic and harmoniccombinations by the entire band and form the basis for musical development throughout theremainder of the composition.Note from Kenneth Fuchs(2) Cait Nishimura:Chasing SunlightChasing Sunlight was inspired by the experience of driving west into the setting sun, as if tryingto keep up with the earth’s rotation to catch the last few rays of light before dusk. The steadyeighth note motif throughout the piece represents this sense of urgency, while the soaring, lyricalthemes depict the warmth and radiance of the sun low in the sky.Just as the sun will aways set, humans must accept the impermanence of all things in life, andmake the most of every opportunity before it has passed. Chasing Sunlight also represents theongoing pursuit of these opportunities.Note from the score

Notes(3) John Philip Sousa:Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company March“I have always found a great deal of inspiration in these old songs We cannot improve simplestraightforward melodies, but we can give them a more adequate, full-throated expression ”Sousa made this statement to a newspaper reporter in discussing the new march he had just builtaround “Auld Lang Syne.”“Auld Lang Syne” happened to be the marching song of the Ancient and Honorable ArtilleryCompany of Boston, the oldest military organization in the United States. When the Sousa Bandvisited Boston in 1023, a delegation from the "Ancients" requested that Sousa compose a marchincorporating the song so dear to them. He gave them his word. Formal solicitation by GovernorCox of Massachusetts and the commander of the company, Capt. Clarence J. McKenzie, followedshortly.The Sousa Band’s strenuous thirty-second annual tour lay ahead of Sousa, but he wasted no timein penning the new march when the tour ended, and it was promptly published. Ancient andHonorable Artillery Company was the featured march of the next tour, and a formalpresentation was made to the “Ancients” at Symphony Hall in Boston on September 21, 1924.Note from the score

Notes(4) John Mackey:This Cruel MoonThis piece is an adaptation of the middle movement of “Wine-Dark Sea: Symphony for Band.”The full symphony tells the tale of Odysseus and his journey home following his victory in theTrojan War. But Odysseus’ journey would take as long as the war itself. Homer called the oceanon which Odysseus sailed a wine-dark sea, and for the Greek king it was as murky anddisorienting as its name; he would not find his way across it without first losing himself.This Cruel Moon is the song of the beautiful and immortal nymph Kalypso, who findsOdysseus near death, washed up on the shore of the island where she lives all alone. She nurseshim back to health, and sings as she moves back and forth with a golden shuttle at her loom.Odysseus shares her bed; seven years pass. The tapestry she began when she nursed him becomesa record of their love.But one day Odysseus remembers his home. He tells Kalypso he wants to leave her, to return tohis wife and son. He scoffs at all she has given him. Kalypso is heartbroken.And yet, that night, Kalypso again paces at her loom. She unravels her tapestry and weaves it intoa sail for Odysseus. In the morning, she shows Odysseus a raft, equipped with the sail she hasmade and stocked with bread and wine, and calls up a gentle and steady wind to carry him home.Shattered, she watches him go; he does not look back.Note from the score

Notes(5) Johann Schop/J.S. Bach:Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly LightOriginally published in 1641, this melody was composed by Johann Schop (1590-1664). J.S. Bachlater harmonized the melody in several different settings, most famously in his Christmas Oratorio(1737). The accompanying German text is listed below with English translation.Brich an, o schönes Morgenlicht,Und laß den Himmel tagen!Du Hirtenvolk, erschrecke nichtWeil dir die Engel sagen,Daß dieses schwache KnäbeleinSoll unser Trost und Freude sein.Dazu den Satin zwingenUnd letzlich Frieden bringen.Break forth, O beauteous heav'nly light,And usher in the morning;Ye shepherds, shrink not with affright,But hear the angel's warning.This child, now weak in infancy,Our confidence and joy shall be,The power of Satan breaking,Our peace eternal maling.Note compiled from Kayla Moyers(6) David Biedenbender:LuminescenceLuminescence is based on fragments from the melody Ermuntre dich, main schwacher Geist (Rousethyself, my weak, spirit), which was written by Johann School and subsequently harmonized inseveral settings by Johann Sebastian Bach. It’s commonly known as the Christian hymn, BreakForth O Beauteous Heavenly Light.A wind arrangement of the original Bach harmonization is available upon request. It may enrichthe overall musical experience both for the ensemble and for the audience to hear the originalchorale before the piece is played.Note from the score

Notes(7) Joseph Hellmesberger:Danse DiaboliqueJoseph Hellmesberger was born into a Viennese musical family. His grandfather was the firstconcertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic, and his father was a famous violinist as well as aconductor and composer. Hellmesberger started out as a virtuoso violinist and later became awell-known conductor; he was appointed musical director of the Vienna Philharmonic.Hellmesberger wrote a variety of dances, including Danse Diabolique. This piece was beautifullyperformed by the Vienna Philharmonic at the New Year’s Concert of 2002, conducted by SeijiOzawa. It is an exciting piece with an energetic waltz at its height. The Phrygian mode (D-Eb-FG-A-Bb-C) results in a diabolic atmosphere.Note from the score
