In January 1913, Debussy struggled to complete Toomai des elephants as the 11th prelude in Book2, finally replacing it by a rather Stravinskian study Les Tierces alternees. However, his daughter Chouchou was fascinated by elephants and in the summer of 1913, Debussy wrote her a 'Toybox Ballet' (La Boite a joujoux) which contains a 'Pas de l'elephant' and an 'old Hindu chant which is still used to train elephants [in India]. It is constructed on the scale of 5 o'clock in the morning,which means it must be in 5/4 time.' My reconstruction of this lost prelude is based around this material and it evokes a day in the life of Toomai, the young mahout, and his faithful elephant Kala Nag from one dawn to the next, incorporating the legendary 'Elephants' Dance' from Rudyard Kip ling's First Jungle Book (1894) which only Toomai was ever privileged to witness. The version presented here is the revised second version of this prelude which contains an effect of piano harmonics as the dawn returns towards the end.

Program Notes Elephant is, of course, inspired by the incredible mammals of the same name. Their column-like legs, long trunks, and massive presence will never cease to amaze; however, it's their trumpeting that makes them stand out as the instrumentalists of the animal kingdom! In this selection, an elephant's slow gate and general demeanor are represented by a methodical tempo and lumbering texture. Woodwinds will enjoy the opportunity to perform grace notes while Elephant also offers exposure to flams for young percussionists. At m. 33 the trumpets and horns recreate an elephant call after slipping brown paper bags, or lunch-bag mutes, over their bells (in their bells for horn players). For the trumpet players, the mutes can be enhanced with an additional balled-up piece of paper placed at the bottom of the bag prior to slipping it over the bell. Horns should ball up the bag itself and experiment with placement to create the most realistic tones without stopping the instrument. While specific pitches are noted, making the best elephant sounds should prioritized. Young students always look forward to experimenting with mutes, and this selection offers an inexpensive and creative way to do so at a young age. Note to the Conductor This piece can be used to introduce or reinforce the finer points of staccato playing. While many students know to play these notes short in length, they may need reminding that they should also be played lightly. This also may allow for opportunities in emphasizing contrasting articulation styles that are in this piece. Younger students will likely need a reasonable amount of practice in successfully using the lunch-bag mutes. Allowing additional rehearsal time for this is recommended.Program Notes Elephant is, of course, inspired by the incredible mammals of the same name.

A perfect programming choice for early college and late high school level percussion quartets. Elephant Breath employs readily-available untuned percussion, a basic trap set and no mallet instruments. Rock motives are bounced throughout the ensemble in an ever-increasing fury, punctuated by brief, quiet windows of high sounds (the breath of the elephant!).

ELEPHANT STEPS has been described as mixed-means theater, where music and language, sound and light, images and movement, graphics and films, incense and machinery, props and performers are incorporated into a spectacular mix. The action of the opera according to Richard Foreman, who wrote the libretto, concerns a quest. Hartman, who is ill, is warned he must free himself from the spiritual influence of a mysterious guru by the name of Reinhardt. Sneaking off to Reinhardt’s house, he faints upon finding the front door locked. After visiting Night-town, he is abducted and grilled in a radio station by his enemies. They try to broadcast his public confession over the radio. Back home, safe in his kitchen, Hartman dreams of Reinhardt, as Elephant-Angels appear and lead him into the street, up a ladder to Reinhardt’s second floor window. The window quivers with light, and what he sees brings him illumination. 2(2) 0 2(2) 1(1); 1111; 3 perc, hp, cel, pno, gtr; stgs; rock band Duration: Full Evening Composed: 1968 Published by: Ben Rena Music Performance materials available on rental only:.
