Written as a companion piece with Border Dance (JB117), Stranger At My Door is written in memory of Peg Bowden, a resident of southern Arizona, who was active in groups assisting migrants by providing food, shelter, clothing and medical assistance. Peg's book Stranger At My Door chronicles her involvements with a migrant who appeared at her doorstep one Christmas Eve in desperate need. Composer Jack Stamp opens this tone poem with a rendition of O Little Town Of Bethlehem accompanied out of time by a haunting melody in the low winds. An original melody, Peg's Theme and the hymn tune Bera (The Hymn of the Good Samaritan from 1849) are first presented plainly, then interwoven in a rhythmic fantasia of fugato fragments. Peg's Theme returns in its fully-harmonized form and the work ends in peaceful introspection. Solos for Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, and Bass Clarinet, as well as solis for trumpets and trombones are featured. Although Stranger At My Door incorporates a well known Christmas carol, it is appropriate for all seasons due to its timeless message of selflessness in the face of danger.

This dramatic 10-page solo was commissioned by the Richmond, Virginia Music Teachers Association in honor of their 50th anniversary. The James River has always been important to life in Virginia, flowing 340 miles from the Appalachian Mountains to Chesapeake Bay. Following the big sounds of the introductory fanfare in 4/4 time, the melody (marked Flowing swiftly), appears in 6/8 time, richly accompanied by arpeggiated LH harmonies. Later in the piece, the hands switch roles, with RH broken chords over a LH treble melody. Hand-over-hand arpeggios follow, adding to the visual impression to the performance. The music returns to 4/4 time before concluding in a similarly dramatic fashion as found in the opening of the work. A true showpiece for late-intermediate level students and performers!
