SUMMARY:George Mason Clarinet Day features "In the City at Night" for Basset Horn
DESCRIPTION:Shannon Kiewitt from “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band performs Jenni’s work In the City at Night for solo Basset Horn during the Dewberry School of Music Clarinet Day at George Mason University on Sunday\, January 28\, 2024. This work\, originally written for English horn\, is at times playful and fast like many lights blinking on just after dusk in the city.  At other times it is quiet and serene like the city streets that are empty in the early hours before dawn.  In creating this world\, I wanted the listener to be left with thoughts and impressions of a city after dark\, and the lone voice of the Basset Horn telling the story of a night adventure on the city streets.\n\n\nSunday\, January 28\, 2024 10am-4pm\ndeLaski Performing Arts Building\, Fairfax Campus\nPlease join us for our Dewberry School of Music Clarinet Day on Sunday\, January 28\, 2024!

SUMMARY:The Orion Concerto performance at Colorado State University
DESCRIPTION:The Orion Concerto: Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony (8:15 version) \nThe Colorado State University Symphonic Band performs Jenni’s The Orion Concerto on December 7\, 2023 at 7:30 pm(MDT) during the CSU Honor Band Festival. \nConducted by Dr. Jayme Taylor with soloists Pablo Dos Santos Hernandez\, oboe and Dr. Cayla Bellamy\, bassoon. \nLivestream Tickets available here \nAbout the work\nThis piece tells the story of our Galaxy\, of the great unknown and what lies beyond\, and where we belong within this vastness of space.  The soloists and the ensemble paint a picture of this great mystery of the universe\, taking us on a journey through the Spiral Galaxy and the Milky Way.  Being pulled toward the Supermassive Black hole\, the djembe lends a rhythmic background of mystery to this journey.  We then travel to the place where stars are born in “The Orion Nebula\,” quoting Carl Sagen from his book Cosmos that\, “we are made of star-stuff.”  Finally\, we begin to leave the orion nebula to continue our journey again through the spiral galaxy\, exploring the vastness of space as thematic material returns to carry us on this ever-continuing journey of exploration. \nOriginally premiered as Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony\, the Orion Concerto is a shortened version of this work.  It was arranged at the request of Jonathan Hinkle\, Director of Bands at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction\, Colorado for performance during the Colorado Music Educators Association conference in January 2023.

SUMMARY:"The Sky Between Us" performed at University of Memphis
DESCRIPTION:The Sky Between Us for Soprano Saxophone\, Alto Saxophone\, and Piano is performed on Jason Oates'(soprano saxophone) recital at the University of Memphis in Tennessee. He’ll be joined by Allen Rippe on Alto Saxophone and Maeve Brophy on piano. He’ll also perform Two Piece for Saxophone by Alan Hovhaness and Sonata in C# by Fernande Decruck. \nDecember 1st\, 2023\n5:30 pm Central\nHarris Hall\nUniversity of Memphis – Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music \n  \nAbout The Sky Between Us \nThe inspiration for The Sky Between Us for Soprano Saxophone\, Alto Saxophone\, and Piano by comes from a poem titled “Under This Sky” by Zia Hyder\, translated by Bhabani Sengupta with Naomi Shihab Nye. The poem begins with the line: \nThere’s an enormous comfort knowing\nwe all live under this same sky. \nThe spirit of this poem speaks to the connections that link us together\, from sharing the same sun and moon to embracing the idea of collaboration and togetherness\, no matter where we live in the world or what we do. \nThis work explores what it means to be under the same sky and connect in new ways.  Using the colors of the saxophones and the piano\, I wanted to create a soundscape that interweaves the ideas of togetherness through beautiful melodic lines\, rhythmic gestures\, and fluid motion.  A journey of movement and hope\, this work celebrates the collaboration between the three voices as equal partners in creating a wide-open space of possibility. \nThe work is in one movement with three distinct sections inspired by the story in the poem: \nSun and Moon\nSweets and Snow\nLife and Love \nThe piece begins and ends with the Saxophones echoing back and forth to each other\, using the technique of playing into the open strings of the piano. I wanted to create this sense of openness\, of vastness and distance that eventually grows closer together\, symbolizing that although there is sky between us\, we are still connected. \nThis work was commissioned by the Covert Ensemble (Dave Camwell and Kateřina Pavlíková – www.covertensemble.com) and it was their vision and enthusiasm that brought us all together under the same sky to collaborate on this work. I want to thank them as well as the additional Consortium Members from around the world who are a part of the creation of this work. \nWe truly are living under the same sky\, and there’s a joy in knowing we can come together through music.

SUMMARY:Dr. Cody Hunter Performed “Bright Leaf: Among the Vines” for solo bassoon by Jenni Brandon.
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Cody Hunter performs “Bright Leaf: Among the Vines” for solo bassoon by Jenni Brandon. Dr. Cody Hunter\, assistant professor in the Stephen F. Austin State University School of Music\, presented a faculty concert\, “Omnium Gatherum: Music for Bassoon\,” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday\, Nov. 28\, 2023\, in the Music Recital Hall\, Wright Music Building\, on the SFA campus. \nThe program title means “miscellaneous gathering\,” referring to the eclectic selection of bassoon works to be performed. Joining Hunter on the concert will be Miaoqian Liu\, piano; Jennifer Dalmas\, violin; Evgeni Raychev\, cello; and Tate Ashby\, keyboard. \n“Although the publication of the recital pieces span different periods from 1651 to 2021\, the purpose of these works is to evoke emotions and images as it relates to our collective sense of humanity\,” Dr Hunter said. “Tranquility\, beauty\, sorrow\, anger\, joy and ‘quiet happiness’ are just a few to be found on this recital.” \nAmong the works to be performed is Philipp Friedrich Böddecker’s Sonata Sopra “La Monica” for bassoon and continuo\, featuring Dalmas\, Raychev and Ashby. Published in 1651 at the end of a collection of scared choral works titled “Sacra Partitura\,” the theme is based on a popular song of the time called “The Nun” in which “a girl pleads with her mother to not make her a nun.” In the form of a theme and variations\, the bassoon solo becomes increasingly more technical while the violin continues to perform the main theme\, Dr. Hunter explained. \nAlso on the program are “Pièce\,” by Gabriel Fauré\, transcribed for bassoon and piano by Fernand Oubradous\, and “Variations on an Arietta by Pergolesi” by Otmar Nussio\, both featuring Liu on piano\, and “Bright Leaf: Among the Vines” for solo bassoon by Jenni Brandon. \nConcert admission is free. Wright Music Building is located at 2210 Alumni Drive. For more information\, contact the SFA School of Music at (936) 468-4602. \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com

SUMMARY:Fin de la Tierra Concerto for Clarinet and Chamber Orchestra performance by the Utah Valley University Symphony
DESCRIPTION:Fin de la Tierra: Land’s End Concerto for Clarinet in B-flat and Chamber Orchestra is performed by the Utah Valley University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Cheung Chau\, music director with clarinet soloist Jeffrey O’Flynn. \nFriday\, November 17\, 2023\n7PM (Mountain)\nNoorda Center Concert Hall \n\nProgram Note\nAt the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula\, in the state of Baja California Sur in Mexico is the famous “El Arco” (the Arch). The granite rock formations not only mark the most southwestern point of Baja\, California\, but also serve as a separation between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) known as “Fin de la Tierra” or Land’s End. A study in contrast\, this area from El Arco and continuing around the eastern side of Baja into Cabo Pulmo National Park encompasses what Jacques Cousteau once called “the world’s aquarium”. \nIn this 18-minute concerto for Clarinet in B-flat and Chamber Orchestra\, the diverse ecosystem of this area is explored. The clarinet soloist serves as a guide\, taking us on a journey through this UNESCO World Heritage site to observe the beauty and diversity of the landscape\, the water\, the animals that live in and around it\, and their symbiotic relationship that requires a delicate balance of conservation and exploration. The orchestra and the clarinet soloist provide that symbiotic relationship as the ensemble becomes the water\, the rock sentries at Land’s End\, and the many colors of the sea\, underwater life\, and wind and waves that make up the beauty of this seascape. \n\n\n\n  \n\n \nSeahorse \n\n\n  \n\n \nGoatfish \n\n\n  \n\n \nTrumpetfish \n\n\n  \n\n \nLong-Spine Porcupinefish \n\n\n\n\n\nThe clarinet gives us a view from above and below the water\, sometimes with a bird’s eye view of the rock formations\, then dipping below the surface of the Sea to follow the many colorful fish that make this area their home. Some that appear in this work include Sea Horses\, a school of Goat Fish\, Trumpetfish\, and Long-Spined Porcupinefish.  A special part of this concerto is a solo by the clarinet as it tells the story of the Munk’s Devil Ray\, or Mobula Ray. Tens of thousands of these rays gather here in April-June\, breaching the water like popcorn and making a spectacular show unique to this area. This solo will be expanded beyond the concerto version to become a stand-alone solo for Clarinet. \n\n \nMobula Rays \n\nBeyond the exploration of this beautiful area through the colors of the clarinet and orchestra\, this work hopes to bring attention to the importance of conservation of such places in the world that we all may continue to enjoy and protect these areas for generations to come. \nCommissioned by Dr. Jeremy Reynolds for premiere during the 2023 ClarinetFest in Denver\, Colorado. \nThis is a single-movement work with sections: \n\nWhere the Pacific Ocean Meets the Sea of Cortez\nRock Sentries\nThe World’s Aquarium

Being pulled toward the Supermassive Black hole\, the djembe lends a rhythmic background of mystery to this journey.

SUMMARY:Covert Ensemble performs "The Sky Between Us" on American Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Sky Between Us for Soprano Saxophone\, Alto Saxophone\, and Piano \nCommissioned by the Covert Ensemble (Dave Camwell and Kateřina Pavlíková) \nPerformance during Covert Ensemble’s tour of Idaho\, Washington State and Oregon. – Friday October 27-Saturday\, November 4 2023 \nOctober 27 – Spokane Community College\nOctober 28 – Hope\, Idaho\nOctober 30 – Wester Washington University\nNovember 1 – University of Portland\nNovember 2 – Pacific Lutheran University – Seattle \nProgram Note\nThe inspiration for The Sky Between Us for Soprano Saxophone\, Alto Saxophone\, and Piano by comes from a poem titled “Under This Sky” by Zia Hyder\, translated by Bhabani Sengupta with Naomi Shihab Nye. The poem begins with the line: \nThere’s an enormous comfort knowing\nwe all live under this same sky. \nThe spirit of this poem speaks to the connections that link us together\, from sharing the same sun and moon to embracing the idea of collaboration and togetherness\, no matter where we live in the world or what we do. \nThis work explores what it means to be under the same sky and connect in new ways.  Using the colors of the saxophones and the piano\, I wanted to create a soundscape that interweaves the ideas of togetherness through beautiful melodic lines\, rhythmic gestures\, and fluid motion.  A journey of movement and hope\, this work celebrates the collaboration between the three voices as equal partners in creating a wide-open space of possibility. \nThe work is in one movement with three distinct sections inspired by the story in the poem: \nSun and Moon\nSweets and Snow\nLife and Love \nThe piece begins and ends with the Saxophones echoing back and forth to each other\, using the technique of playing into the open strings of the piano. I wanted to create this sense of openness\, of vastness and distance that eventually grows closer together\, symbolizing that although there is sky between us\, we are still connected. \nThis work was commissioned by the Covert Ensemble (Dave Camwell and Kateřina Pavlíková – www.covertensemble.com) and it was their vision and enthusiasm that brought us all together under the same sky to collaborate on this work. I want to thank them as well as the additional Consortium Members from around the world who are a part of the creation of this work. \nWe truly are living under the same sky\, and there’s a joy in knowing we can come together through music. \n

SUMMARY:Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon at University of North Texas
DESCRIPTION:Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony performed by the University of North Texas Wind Symphony. \nEugene Migliaro Corporon – Conductor & Director of Wind Studies\nJung Choi – Oboe\nDarrel Hale – Bassoon \nThursday\, October 26\, 2023\nLIVESTREAM: Wind Symphony | October 26\, 2023 – University of North Texas – College of Music (unt.edu) \n  \nThis piece tells the story of our Galaxy\, of the great unknown and what lies beyond\, and where we belong within this vastness of space. The soloists and the ensemble paint a picture of this great mystery of the universe\, taking us on a journey through the Spiral Galaxy\, the Milky Way\, and onto our own arm in the galaxy\, the Orion Spur\, where we dance the waltz of the Blue Planet. Being pulled toward the Supermassive Black hole\, the djembe lends a rhythmic background of mystery to this journey. The bassoon\, then joined by the solo oboe\, begins to tell us a story of Dark Matter\, “…an elementary particle that pervades the universe.” We then travel to the place where stars are born in “The Orion Nebula\,” quoting Carl Sagen from his book Cosmos that\, “we are made of star-stuff.” Finally\, we begin to leave the orion nebula to continue our journey again through the spiral galaxy\, exploring the vastness of space as thematic material returns to carry us on this ever-continuing journey of exploration. \n\nIt was an honor to write this work for Scott Pool and to have him premiere it with Rogene Russell on oboe and the University of Texas at Arlington Wind Symphony under the direction of Doug Stotter in February 2013. It is a thrill to have the European premiere of this work given by the Banda Simfònica Municipal de Madrid under the direction of Rafael Sanz–Espert with Víctor M. Ánchel\, oboe and Enrique Abargues\, bassoon. \nThis work is in one movement and is approximately 18 minutes. \nI. The Spiral Galaxy\nII. Travelling through the Milky Way\nIII.  The Orion Spur: The Blue Planet Waltz\nIV. Supermassive Black Hole: Falling into the abyss…\nV. Dark Matter: “…an elementary particle that pervades the universe\nVI. The Orion Nebula: “We are made of star-stuff.”\n…Flying through the Spiral Galaxy \nVersion for Oboe\, Bassoon\, piano\, and optional percussion also available

SUMMARY:World Premiere of "Fin de la Tierra: Land's End" version for Clarinet and Piano
DESCRIPTION:Fin de la Tierra: Land’s End – World Premiere of Version for Clarinet in B-flat and Piano at the University of Texas – El Paso\nReduction of the Concerto for Clarinet in B-flat With Chamber Orchestra\nDr. James Logan – Clarinet (part of commissioning consortium for this work)\nDr. Dominic Dousa – Piano & Assistant Department Chair \nAt the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula\, in the state of Baja California Sur in Mexico is the famous “El Arco” (the Arch). The granite rock formations not only mark the most southwestern point of Baja\, California\, but also serve as a separation between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) known as “Fin de la Tierra” or Land’s End. A study in contrast\, this area from El Arco and continuing around the eastern side of Baja into Cabo Pulmo National Park encompasses what Jacques Cousteau once called “the world’s aquarium”. \nIn this 18-minute concerto for Clarinet in B-flat and Piano\, the diverse ecosystem of this area is explored. The clarinet soloist serves as a guide\, taking us on a journey through this UNESCO World Heritage site to observe the beauty and diversity of the landscape\, the water\, the animals that live in and around it\, and their symbiotic relationship that requires a delicate balance of conservation and exploration. The piano and the clarinet soloist provide that symbiotic relationship as the ensemble becomes the water\, the rock sentries at Land’s End\, and the many colors of the sea\, underwater life\, and wind and waves that make up the beauty of this seascape. \n\n\n\n  \n \nSeahorse \n\n\n  \n \nGoatfish \n\n\n  \n \nTrumpetfish \n\n\n  \n \nLong-Spine Porcupinefish \n\n\n\n\n\nThe clarinet gives us a view from above and below the water\, sometimes with a bird’s eye view of the rock formations\, then dipping below the surface of the Sea to follow the many colorful fish that make this area their home. Some that appear in this work include Sea Horses\, a school of Goat Fish\, Trumpetfish\, and Long-Spined Porcupinefish.  A special part of this concerto is a solo by the clarinet as it tells the story of the Munk’s Devil Ray\, or Mobula Ray. Tens of thousands of these rays gather here in April-June\, breaching the water like popcorn and making a spectacular show unique to this area. This solo will be expanded beyond the concerto version to become a stand-alone solo for Clarinet. \n \nMobula Rays \n\nBeyond the exploration of this beautiful area through the colors of the clarinet and piano\, this work hopes to bring attention to the importance of conservation of such places in the world that we all may continue to enjoy and protect these areas for generations to come. \nThis is a single-movement work with sections: \n\nWhere the Pacific Ocean Meets the Sea of Cortez\nRock Sentries\nThe World’s Aquarium
