Following a celebrated series of wind ensemble tone poems about national parks in the American West, Dan Welcher’s Upriver celebrates the Lewis & Clark Expedition from the Missouri River to Oregon’s Columbia Gorge, following the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Welcher’s imaginative textures and inventiveness are freshly modern, evoking our American heritage, including references to Shenandoah and other folk songs known to have been sung on the expedition. For advanced players. Duration: 14’.In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark’s Corps of Discovery to find a water route to the Pacific and explore the uncharted West. He believed woolly mammoths, erupting volcanoes, and mountains of pure salt awaited them. What they found was no less mind-boggling: some 300 species unknown to science, nearly 50 Indian tribes, and the Rockies.Ihave been a student of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which Thomas Jefferson called the “Voyage of Discovery,” for as long as I can remember. This astonishing journey, lasting more than two-and-a-half years, began and ended in St. Louis, Missouri — and took the travelers up more than a few rivers in their quest to find the Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. In an age without speedy communication, this was akin to space travel out of radio range in our own time: no one knew if, indeed, the party had even survived the voyage for more than a year. Most of them were soldiers. A few were French-Canadian voyageurs — hired trappers and explorers, who were fluent in French (spoken extensively in the region, due to earlier explorers from France) and in some of the Indian languages they might encounter. One of the voyageurs, a man named Pierre Cruzatte, also happened to be a better-than-average fiddle player. In many respects, the travelers were completely on their own for supplies and survival, yet, incredibly, only one of them died during the voyage. Jefferson had outfitted them with food, weapons, medicine, and clothing — and along with other trinkets, a box of 200 jaw harps to be used in trading with the Indians. Their trip was long, perilous to the point of near catastrophe, and arduous. The dream of a Northwest Passage proved ephemeral, but the northwestern quarter of the continent had finally been explored, mapped, and described to an anxious world. When the party returned to St. Louis in 1806, and with the Louisiana Purchase now part of the United States, they were greeted as national heroes.Ihave written a sizeable number of works for wind ensemble that draw their inspiration from the monumental spaces found in the American West. Four of them (Arches, The Yellowstone Fires, Glacier, and Zion) take their names, and in large part their being, from actual national parks in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. But Upriver, although it found its voice (and its finale) in the magnificent Columbia Gorge in Oregon, is about a much larger region. This piece, like its brother works about the national parks, doesn’t try to tell a story. Instead, it captures the flavor of a certain time, and of a grand adventure. Cast in one continuous movement and lasting close to fourteen minutes, the piece falls into several subsections, each with its own heading: The Dream (in which Jefferson’s vision of a vast expanse of western land is opened); The Promise, a chorale that re-appears several times in the course of the piece and represents the seriousness of the presidential mission; The River; The Voyageurs; The River II ; Death and Disappointment; Return to the Voyage; and The River III .The music includes several quoted melodies, one of which is familiar to everyone as the ultimate “river song,” and which becomes the through-stream of the work. All of the quoted tunes were either sung by the men on the voyage, or played by Cruzatte’s fiddle. From various journals and diaries, we know the men found enjoyment and solace in music, and almost every night encampment had at least a bit of music in it. In addition to Cruzatte, there were two other members of the party who played the fiddle, and others made do with singing, or playing upon sticks, bones, the ever-present jaw harps, and boat horns. From Lewis’ journals, I found all the tunes used in Upriver: Shenandoah (still popular after more than 200 years), V’la bon vent, Soldier’s Joy, Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier, Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy (a hymn sung to the tune “Beech Spring”) and Fisher’s Hornpipe. The work follows an emotional journey: not necessarily step-by-step with the Voyage of Discovery heroes, but a kind of grand arch. Beginning in the mists of history and myth, traversing peaks and valleys both real and emotional (and a solemn funeral scene), finding help from native people, and recalling their zeal upon finding the one great river that will, in fact, take them to the Pacific. When the men finally roar through the Columbia Gorge in their boats (a feat that even the Indians had not attempted), the magnificent river combines its theme with the chorale of Jefferson’s Promise. The Dream is fulfilled: not quite the one Jefferson had imagined (there is no navigable water passage from the Missouri to the Pacific), but the dream of a continental destiny.

Between the Two Rivers was commissioned by Fanfare ‘Prins Hendrik’, from Aalst in the Netherlands. The title derives from the fact that the town of Aalst lies between two tributaries of the River Dommel. The community is a highly religious one, so the famous Luther chorale, Ein’ Feste Burg, was an obvious choice for Philip Sparke to use as the theme for this new work. It takes the form of a theme with four contrasting variations. Variation 1 is a moto perpetuo, variation 2 has a slower march like feel, variation 3 is a sinister slow movement and the final variation is in the form of a lyrical fugue. Between The Two Rivers is sure to become a major work in modern concert bandrepertoire. Between the Two Rivers werd gecomponeerd in opdracht van de Fanfare Prins Hendrik uit Aalst. De titel verwijst naar het feit dat Aalst tussen twee zijrivieren van de Dommel ligt. Aalst is een streng gelovige gemeente, dus was heteen voor de hand liggende keuze van Philip Sparke om het beroemde lutherse koraal Een vaste burcht te gebruiken als thema voor een viertal variaties. Variation I is een moto perpetuo, Variation II is langzamer en marsachtig van karakter,VariationIII is een sinister langzaam deel en Variation IV heeft tot slot de vorm van een fuga. Between the Two Rivers zal beslist een belangrijk concertwerk worden in het repertoire van blaasorkesten. Het werk is verplichtgesteld op het Wereld Muziek Concours 2005 te Kerkrade.Philip Sparke wählte sich den berühmten Luther-Choral Ein' feste Burg als Thema für eine Reihe von Variationen. Nach einer kurzen, lebhaften Eröffnung folgen vier abwechslungsreiche Variationen über den Choral. Between the Two Rivers, dessen Name sich auf die zwischen zwei Flüssen liegende, Auftrag gebende Stadt Aals in Holland bezieht, ist ein prachtvolles Werk, in dem alle Register des Blasorchesters zum Zuge kommen. Philip Sparke a composé Between the Two Rivers n l'occasion du centenaire de la Fanfare Prins Hendrik (1904-2004) de la ville d'Aalst aux Pays-Bas. Le titre de cette composition trouve son origine dans le fait que la ville est enserrée entre deux affluents de la rivi¬re Dommel. Aalst est une cité pieuse. La création d'un ensemble de variations sur le th¬me du cél¬bre choral luthérien Ein' feste Burg (C'est un rempart que notre Dieu) s'imposait comme une évidence. Between the Two Rivers est une ?uvre fluide, lyrique, mystérieuse et élégante.

Moon River is the title song of the famous 1961 motion picture Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Over the years the song was covered by many major stars, turning it into an absolute evergreen around the world. The beauty of the melody is also suited for mellow sounding instruments like the Eb alto horn; a great reason for the British composer and arranger Christopher Bond to make a version for brass band and alto horn. Moon River is de titelsong van de beroemde film Breakfast at Tiffany’s uit 1961. In de loop der jaren is deze song gecoverd door vele grote sterren, waardoor het nummer over de hele wereld een absolute evergreen werd. De mooie melodie is heel geschikt voor mild klinkende instrumenten als de althoorn, voor de Britse componist en arrangeur Christopher Bond een goede reden om een versie te creëren voor althoorn solo en brassband. Moon River ist die Titelmelodie des berühmten Spielfilms Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Frühstück bei Tiffany“) aus dem Jahr 1961. Der Song wurde im Laufe der Jahre von vielen bekannten Stars gecovert und dadurch zu einem weltbekannten Evergreen. Die wunderschöne Melodie eignet sich auch gut für weich klingende Instrumente wie das Althorn in Es. Daher erstellte der britische Komponist und Arrangeur Christopher Bond eine Version für Brass Band und Althorn.Moon River est le générique du film célèbre de 1961, Diamonds sur canapé. Au cours des années, la chanson a été reprise par de nombreuses vedettes, ce qui en a fait un vrai tube tout autour du monde. La beauté de la mélodie convient aussi aux instruments plus graves comme le cor alto en mi bémol, ce qui a encouragé le compositeur et arrangeur britannique Christopher Bond faire une version pour brass band et cor alto.
