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:Brigham Young University-Idaho Symphony Band performs Jenni Brandon's Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony
DESCRIPTION:The Orion Concerto: Double Concerto for Oboe and Bassoon with Wind Symphony (8:15 version) \nThe  Brigham Young University-Idaho Symphony Band performs Jenni Brandon’s The Orion Concerto on December 5\, 2023 at 7:30 pm(MDT). \nRuth H. Barrus Concert Hall \nDr. Davied Faires – Conductor\nElizabeth Nelson – Oboe\nElizabeth Crawford – Bassoon \nLivestream: Watch Live (byui.edu) \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. The original version Double Concerto was written for Scott Pool – bassoon\, and it was an honor to have him and Rogene Russell on oboe premiere it at the University of Texas at Arlington Wind Symphony under the direction of Doug Stotter in February 2013.  The European premiere of this work was 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 with several sections: \nThe Spiral Galaxy\nTravelling through the Milky Way\nSupermassive Black Hole: Falling into the abyss…\nThe Orion Nebula: “We are made of star-stuff.”\n…Flying through the Spiral Galaxy \nDuration approximately 8:15 \n  \n  \n
