SUMMARY:Adrienne Burg Performs Love Songs by Jenni Brandon at Rice University\, Houston Texas
DESCRIPTION:  \nLove Songs by Jenni Brandon is performed\, at Rice University Shepherd School of Music\, by Adrienne Burg oboist\, on Saturday\, April 6\, 2024\, at 12:30 pm. Her recital is in the Duncan Recital Hall at Alice Pratt Brown Hall. VIEW LIVESTREAM     Live Streaming in Duncan Recital Hall | The Shepherd School of Music (rice.edu); Goes live: Sat\, April 6\, 2024\, 12:30pm CT. \nThe program is: \nThe program is: \nLove Songs  —Jenni Brandon \n* Lullaby\n* Song of Basket-Weaving\n* Song of the Blue-Corn Dance (Zuni)\n* Love Song (Chippewa)\n* Love Song from the Andes (Inca)\n* My Love has Departed (Chippewa)\n* Lullaby (Reprise)\nKatherine Dobbs\, mezzo-soprano \n Concerto in F Major  — Antonio Vivaldi \n* Allegro\n* Grave\n* Allegro\nGrant Smith\, harpsichord \nINTERMISSION \nHot Spots   —Daniel Dorff:  \n* Sunsplash\n* On the Beach\n* The Bee and the Horseshoe Crab\nTriniti Rives\, clarinet \nCircus  — Andrew Jackman \n* Parade\n* Ringmaster\n* Trapeze\n* Ringmaster\n* Elephants\n* Clowns and Acrobats\n* Ringmaster\n* Bareback Riders\n* Final Parade \nLove Songs for Soprano and Oboe Composer Notes \nJenni chose this collection of texts to tell a story of the Native American woman – a story that she might tell to her child while she rocked the child to sleep. We begin with a lullaby (partially borrowed from a Chippewa lullaby) sung gently to a child\, and then she begins to tell the story of herself. In “Song of Basket-Weaving” she asks the Cedar tree (mother) to prepare her for love\, for bearing children\, and for becoming a woman. In “Song of the Blue-Corn Dance she works with other women to harvest the corn. Falling in love\, she sings a slightly giddy song “Oh I Am Thinking” which evolves into a strong and steadfast song in “Love Song from the Andes.” Then her lover comes to her in “Love Song\,” but it is not too long after that he leaves her for Sault St. Marie in Michigan\, never to return again(I interpret this as death – he’s gone away\, maybe to fight\, or to hunt\, but he will never return to his lover). We assume at this point in the story that the child she sings to is their child\, and she is telling the story of their love. The story ends how it begins\, with the woman back in the present\, continuing to sing a lullaby to her child as life goes on\, without her love by her side. \nIt is a story that can be universally understood\, but points to the strength of not only the Native American woman\, but to the strength of all women to persevere\, to raise children and to keep community strong against all odds. It is a “love song” in that it goes beyond just romantic love\, but tells of love for a child and love of the land. The work may be performed as a whole\, or individual movements may be chosen for a shorter performance. \nThis work was commissioned and premiered by Aryn Day Sweeney\, oboist and Assistant Professor of Music Performance at Ball State University with funding provided by the Indiana Arts Commission in 2014. It was premiered at Ball State University by Aryn Day Sweeney-oboe and Yoko Shimazaki-Kilburn-soprano in March 2014 \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com

SUMMARY:An Orange Tree by Jenni Brandon Was Performed At Central Michigan University During the SAI Small Ensemble Competition
DESCRIPTION:An Orange Tree by Jenni Brandon was performed at the Central Michigan University during the Sigma Alpha Iota\, Eta Xi Chapter Small Ensemble Competition. The performance occurred at 7:00 P.M. on April 11\, 2024\, in the Chamichian Recital Hall. The performers were Maleia Thompson\, bassoon and Kathleen Muehring\, contrabassoon. The judges were Dr Christopher Chapman and Professor Tracey Watson. \nThe program was: \n \nProgram notes for An Orange Tree are: \nAn Orange Tree for bassoon and contrabassoon is inspired by the poem “Hay un naranjo ahí” by Alfonso Quijada Urías and its translation “There’s an Orange Tree Out There” by Darwin J. Flakoll.  There is hope in this work as it explores and honors a story of remembrance\, of the immigrant experience\, and the ability to start a new life in a new land. Using the unique colors of the bassoon and contrabassoon\, there is a conversation between these two instruments as they explore how an orange tree “out there\, behind that old\, abandoned garden wall” reminds us of an orange tree planted in a distant land before coming to this new place. \nThe ranges of both instruments are explored in this working\, using the power of the contrabassoon’s low range and the beauty of the bassoon’s upper range to showcase these instruments’ dynamic colors.  The opening line of the work represents the theme of the orange tree and returns throughout the work as a reminder of the orange tree planted in a different land and time. Within the work the instruments often change places\, with the contrabassoon moving higher than the bassoon’s line\, showcasing the abilities of not only the instruments but the performers for which the work was written.  The instruments dance and weave\, at times passing fast double-tongued lines back and forth\, while at other times playing legato lines of remembrance. \nThe contrabassoon has a featured solo section in the work representing the line “so beautiful it makes us remember that orange tree we planted in our earth.” The low\, resonant line from the Contrabassoon represents the earth and the memories it carries with it.  As the line rises\, the bassoon joins again\, creating a spacious\, and at times\, meditative state of reverence and memory. \nThis work was commissioned by Leigh Muñoz and Lia Uribe of Contra+Bassoon. \nPremiered during the International Double Reed Society 2nd Virtual Symposium: https://www.idrs.org/events/an-orange-tree-a-new-work-for-contrabassoon-2/ \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com

SUMMARY:The Dreams of Birds by Jenni Brandon\, Performed by Alicia Kosack At The Low Flutes Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Dreams of Birds\, by Jenni Brandon performed by Alicia Kosack at the Low Flutes Festival on Saturday\, April 13\, 2024 at the Hilton Washington Dulles\, 13869 Park Center Rd\, Herndon\, VA 20171\, telephone (703) 478-2900. You Tube link: International Low Flutes Festival – YouTube. The program is: \nAlto Solos with Sam Williams & Alicia Kosack \nSaturday\, April 13th \n11-11:45am \nSonata for Viola & Piano – arranged for alto flute      Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) arr. Sam Williams \n\nImpetuoso\nVivace\nAdagio\n\nSam Williams\, alto flute \nBora Lee\, piano \nThe St. Francis Window\, Op. 67 – for alto flute & piano        Ruth Gipps (1921-1999) \nGershwin-its – for solo alto flute         Adrienne Albert (b. 1941) \nThe Dreams of Birds – for alto flute & piano  Jenni Brandon (b. 1977) \nAlicia Kosack\, alto flute \nBora Lee\, piano \nSee the Festival Schedule \nThe Dreams of Birds explores the world of what birds might dream. Would they dream of running\, of flying to the sun? Would they dream of being human? I wanted to explore the possibility of bird dreams while continuing to be evocative of a bird with bird-like songs in the alto flute. The little turns and grace notes as well as the flutter tongue played by the alto flute offer the listener the voice of the bird. The piano\, both supportive and\, at times\, grand\, helps give flight to these dreams of birds. \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com

This work explores petrified wood\, or the fossilized wood where the living parts of the tree are replaced by a mineralization process that turns the wood into stone. It maintains the original shape of the organic material\, now hardened\, and its transformation takes place underground once the wood has become submerged in volcanic ash or water. Using the colors of both wooden instruments and metals\, this work follows the story of a tree turned to petrified wood\, and its ancient journey of transformation.  Within the work you’ll hear the colors of wooden windchimes\, representing the trees\, the tom-toms and surdo representing the father as a rock of the old gneiss tribe (gneiss is a type of rock that has a banded texture on it). There is much freedom throughout the work to create the colors of transformation. From multiphonic sounds in the bassoon representing the line “You were born of substances primordial\, creature of green and brown and gray\,” to the lullaby of the “blessed midwife who now witnesses another rebirth”\, this work is the story of the passage of time preserved in the beauty of transformation. \nThe poet Karla Linn Merrifield references the Columbia River Shores\, and in Washington where the river runs is the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park/Wanapum Recreation Area. The discovery of petrified wood in this region includes petrified trees such as ginkgo\, Dougla-fir\, spruce\, elm and others that had been covered in volcanic ash and became petrified wood.\, \nCommissioned by Across the Grain Duo (Susan Nelson\, bassoon and Jeff Barudin\, percussion) it was premiered in Spring of 2023 with Colin McCall on percussion and will appear on their upcoming album in 2024.

SUMMARY:Chanson de la Nature by Jenni Brandon Performed by Timothy Bonenfant at The San Angelo Chamber Music Series
DESCRIPTION:  \nChanson de la Nature by Jenni Brandon Performed by Timothy Bonenfant at The San Angelo Chamber Music Series at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Art\, 1 Love Street\, San Angelo\, TX 76903 (325) 653-3333.The performance titled Angelo State University (ASU) Faculty and Friends was on April 14\, 2024\, at 2:00 P.M. \nThe San Angelo Chamber Music Series features concerts by outstanding musicians from across Texas and the United States. They regularly draw patrons from every segment of the community with both traditional chamber musicians and more broadly based contemporary or ethnic music groups. \nProgram for April 14\, 2024 \n \nProgram notes for Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette. \nChansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette tells a story about nature as told by the clarinet’s agile voice. The French titles and basis of the pieces were inspired by the lyrical and pastoral quality of the French language and the images it invokes. The piece is also inspired by the images presented in Aesop’s fables (and Jean de la Fontain’s retelling of them); in particular\, the movement “Le Lièvre et la Tortue” tells of the slow tortoise beating the fast hare with his patience and determination. Both creatures are represented in this movement\, from the plodding of the tortoise to the quick movements of the hare. \nThe other movements also represent a variety of characters and situations from these famous fables. “Le Poisson” darts\, “Le Papillon” flutters and floats\, “L’étoile” shimmers in the night sky\, nature ‘dances’\, and “Le Serpent” is slippery and quick.  Each movement is short\, but just long enough to evoke a story and create a ‘song of nature’ for the clarinet. \n\nLes Oiseaux\nII. Le Poisson\nIII. Le Papillon\nIV. Le Lièvre et La Tortue\nV. L’Etoile\nVI. Dansez!\nVII.

SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s Colored Stones Performed by Andrew Coram at The Appalachian State University
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Coram performed Colored Stones by Jenni Brandon on Sunday\, April 21\, 2024 from 8:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. at the Appalachian State University\, Hayes School of Music\, Broyhill Music Center\, Rosen Concert Hall\, 813 Rivers Street\, Boone\, NC 28608\, Phone: 828-262-3020. \nThe program was: \nBassoon Concerto in B-flat Major by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart \n\nAllegro (1756-1791)\nAndante ma Adagio\nRondo: tempo di menuetto\n\nColored Stones by Jenni Brandon \n\nSmoky Quartz (b. 1977)\nLapis Lazuli\nTigers Eye\n\nBlue Set No. 2 for Bassoon Quartet by Peter Schickele \n\nBassooner or Later (1935-2024)\n\n  \nOwen Marcellino\, bassoon \nEmily Davis\, bassoon \nAbigail Turner\, bassoon \nProgram Notes: \nColored Stones for solo bassoon tells the story of three stones: smoky quartz\, lapis lazuli\, and tiger’s eye. Some cultures and spiritual practices believe these stones have powerful qualities such as the ability to heal\, protect\, and offer spiritual guidance. The bassoon explores these beautiful stones’ unique qualities. \nIt is an honor to be chosen as the winner of the 2014 Bassoon Chamber Music Composition Competition and to have this work premiered by Susan Nelson. \nColored Stones – solo bassoon (sheet music). \nSmoky Quartz – An incredibly grounding stone\, this smoky brown stone transforms and diffuses negative energy. The bassoon changes from a sense of grounding to playfulness\, exploring this balance of energy. In the end\, it always finds its way back to telling the story of the grounding quality of the stone. \nLapis Lazuli – Prized for its colors\, this deep blue stone was used by kings and queens in paintings and ceremonial robes. Believed to help foster truthful expression and communication\, it supports the immune system and brings peace. The bassoon explores the luxurious blue color\, mixing in flashes of gold found in the stone. \nTiger’s Eye – Tiger’s eye\, a golden brown to deep red stone\, is very grounding and can bring luck and ward off evil. The bassoon is sometimes “protective and seeing\,” moving quickly to remove the look of the “evil eye” and other times moving dreamily through an ancient landscape of protective energy. \n  \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com
