SUMMARY:Reeds in the Wind Perform Jenni’s Spider Suite
DESCRIPTION:The Kamloops Symphony presents Reeds in the Wind\, performing Jenni’s “Spider Suite“\, in continuation of the Symphony’s Chamber Music series. Reeds in the Wind feature the Kamloops Symphony’s principal Oboe\, Clarinet\, and Bassoon players; Marea Chernoff\, Sally Arai\, and Olivia Martin. \nWe are first introduced to the world of spiders through the fast and many-legged theme in “Along came a spider…\,” full of skittering\, racing\, and lurking. In movement two a young spider takes flight – baby spiders will spin a balloon out of silk and fly away from their mother’s web to embark on their own journey\, letting the wind take them wherever it might. Our spider lands gently and immediately begins to make his web in “Spinning Song.” Once the web is spun\, it is time to wait for dinner to come along. Our spider dances “A Wicked Waltz\,” laughing manically as he waits for the “Happy Bug (unsuspecting)” to get stuck in his web. As the bug flies and sings\, he gets increasingly stuck in the web – listen as the timbral trills in the oboe become more and more frequent. In the final movement the spider reflects on his day (flying\, spinning\, and hunting…)\, tearing down his web\, as spiders often do\, to begin again the next day. \n“Spider Suite” for oboe\, clarinet\, and bassoon; commissioned by the California Association of Professional Music Teachers was premiered by the Vientos Trio at the CAPMT state conference in February 2010 at the Pacific Palms Resort. \nThe version for flute\, clarinet\, and bassoon is recorded by Ceora Winds on their debut CD Postcards. The CD is available from CD Baby and iTunes

SUMMARY:Jenni’s Sequoia Trio Performed by the Annapolis Symphony Wind Trio
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon’s “Sequoia Trio” is performed by The Annapolis Symphony Wind Trio. The Trio’s blend of oboe\, clarinet and bassoon will fill the parish hall of historic St. Paul’s\, Kent Church\, Chestertown\, MD\, at 3 p.m. Sunday\, Nov. 12\, (2017). Oboist Fatma Daglar\, clarinetist Robert DiLutis\, and bassoonist Benjamin Greanya are all principal players in the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. The concert is the latest offering of the National Music Festival’s Resonance Concert Series\, which runs from October to April. \n“Their program includes works by Jaques Ibert\, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Darius Milhaud\, among others. One highlight is the “Sequoia Trio” by American composer Jenni Brandon“  Kent County News (Maryland)\, November 6\, 2017 \n“Each movement of the “Sequoia Trio” (oboe\, clarinet\, bassoon sheet music) takes a quote about Sequoia trees from John Muir’s book “The Yosemite” and uses it to inspire the music. The opening waving pattern creates the gentle breeze as the growth of the tree starts in the bassoon\, moving through the clarinet and is carried all the way to the top of the tree through the oboe. Movement two is sassy and jazzy\, describing the kind of resilient attitude that young trees must maintain in order to survive. “The Three Graces” plays on the idea of the three instruments in the ensemble and Muir’s own reference to Greek mythology. Finally\, in “The Noble Trees” the instruments play a hymn-like tribute to the largest living things on earth. The two “Tree Interludes” represent the individual voice of a tree and its story.” Jenni said about her Sequoia Trio \nSt. Paul’s\, Kent is located at 7579 Sandy Bottom Road in Chestertown Maryland\, off state Route 20 between Chestertown and Rock Hall\, Maryland.

SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s the “Pleistocene Epoch: The Great Ice Age” Featured On King FM\, Seattle\, Washington.
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon’s work\, the “Pleistocene Epoch: The Great Ice Age” for solo Bass Clarinet\, was featured on the Second Inversion program\, KING FM 98.1\, Seattle\, Washington. \n“I’m not usually a fan of music for solo single-line instruments\, but something about this solo bass clarinet piece hits me just right this week” stated Seth Tompkins\, the Program Director of Classical KING FM. “The more I listened to this\, the more I wanted to turn the speakers up to enjoy the rich bass and nuanced performance of Jennifer Stevenson. My enjoyment of this work might also have something to do with the fact that I’m an admitted biology nerd; three of the movements of this piece bear the names of ice age fauna.  These titles alone are sufficient to spur imaginative listening (for me\, at least)” said Seth Tompkins. \nFounded in 1948 by Dorothy Stimson Bullitt\, Classical KING FM 98.1 is among the longest-running classical radio stations in the United States. Today\, it is consistently ranked as one of the top 5 American classical radio stations. \nJenni’s “Pleistocene Epoch: The Great Ice Age” for solo Bass Clarinet tells the story of the animals that are constantly being dug out of the asphalt\, or the pits\, that lived during the Pleistocene Epoch\, or the great ice age\, over 10\,000 years ago. \nThe bass clarinet gurgles and oozes during “Asphalt\,” revealing the musical motives of the extinct animals that we will meet during the piece. The Sabertoothed Cat stalks its prey\, sneaking along the ground on the attack. The “Mammuthus Columbi” or the Columbian Mammoth was a huge creature with enormous tusks; a gentle giant that might find itself stuck in the asphalt\, leaving it open to attack by dire wolves. These wolves\, which hunted in packs\, are the most frequently found inhabitants in the La Brea Tarpits\, and their multiphonic battle cry leads them into the hunt. By the end of the movement\, they\, too\, have become immersed in the muck\, sinking back down into the asphalt to be discovered 10\,000 years later. \nEach of the animals went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch\, but their stories are preserved in the asphalt and told here by the gurgles and oozing of the bass clarinet. \nWritten for Jennifer Stevenson of the Vientos Trio\, this piece was composed as part of Jenni’s residency with the ensemble during the 2008-2009 season. \n
