The poem At Night by Amy Lowell used for inspiration in both speaks of the wind singing through the trees and the excitement of the wild wind.  The clarinets imitate this idea of the wind at the beginning and end of the piece through freely played sections. Much of the piece contains this feeling of joyful freedom\, from a dance-like section to the feeling “wild\, tumultuous joy” that grows and builds with excitement.   Towards the end of the piece when the clarinets come together to explore the feeling of the text “And my mind\, O Star! is filled with your white light\,” we feel the true wonder of a hot July night and the freedom to enjoy the onward sweeping wind. \nThe Clarinet Choir version was arranged by Sheila Cullen and premiered by members of the United States Naval Academy Band in 2021.  The choral version was selected as the recipient of the 2008 Sorel Medallion and was premiered in Zankel Hall in Carnegie Hall by Voices of Ascension under the direction of Dennis Keene on October 29th. \nAbout the Arranger \nSheila Cullen\, a native of Marietta\, GA\, received a Bachelor of Music degree in Clarinet Performance from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in 2002 and a Master of Music degree in Music Theory in 2004. Her mentors include James Campbell\, Howard Klug\, Robert DiLutis\, D. Ray McClellan\, and Kirsten Ahnell. \nA clarinetist in the United States Naval Academy Band since 2006\, she performs with the Wind Ensemble\, Chamber Winds\, Clarinet Quartet\, and Wind Trio.

SUMMARY:Five Frogs for Woodwind Quintet by Jenni Brandon Is Performed by The Quintet of the Americas at Queens Botanical Garden\, Flushing\, Queens New York and at Gallery 9B9\, 9 Avenue B in Manhattan\, NYC.
DESCRIPTION:The Quintet of the Americas perform Five Frogs for Woodwind Quintet by Jenni Brandon. The concert is on Sunday\, May 12\, 2024\, at 3:00 PM at Queens Botanical Garden\, 43-50 Main Street in Flushing\, Queens\, New York\, (718) 886-3800. On Tuesday\, May 14\, 2024 AT 7:30 PM\, the Quintet of the Americas Presents Celebrating Women Composers Concert at Gallery 9B9\, 9 Avenue B in Manhattan\, NYC. \nQuintet of the Americas has specialized in bringing music from the Western hemisphere to audiences in the United States since its arrival\, from Bogota Colombia\, in New York in 1979. The group has enjoyed an international career that has taken them to concert halls throughout the Americas and Eastern Europe\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center\, Symphony Space\, and the Library of Congress. Visit their website at http://www.quintet.org  and become their friend at http://www.facebook.com/groups/325982319921/. Quintet photos are available at http://quintet.org/press.html. \nThis performance is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts\, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs\, and the Doctorow Family Foundation. \nThe program is: \nPeri Mauer’s               Caprice \nJulia Wolfe’s                On Seven-Star-Shoes \nGabriela Ortiz’            Puzzle-Tocas \nJenni Brandon’s        Five Frogs for Woodwind Quintet \nShanyse Strickland’s   Ala Arusha – Mother Earth \nPerformers are Kim Bonacorsa\, flute; guest artist Rita Mitsel\, oboe; David Valbuena\, clarinet; Barbara Oldham\, horn; and Alexander Davis\, bassoon. \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com \nComposer notes: \nFive Frogs for Woodwind Quintet allows each of the instruments to tell the story of a frog\, from leaping to lazing on a lily pad. Five Frogs is inspired by One Hundred Frogs by Hiroaki Sato\, a little book that takes a look at one hundred different haikus\, sonnets\, prose poems\, and even limericks based on Bashô’s haiku\, “Old Pond/Frog jumps in/The sound of water”. Each of the instruments in the ensemble is so different and so exceptional in their sound and abilities that I realized each one could be one of the frogs from the book. The clarinet is perfect for “Leaping” because of its agility and grace\, the way a frog can be still one minute and gone the next. “Catching Bugs” gave me the opportunity to use the piccolo and allow the ensemble to run ‘amuck’ after their bug dinner. Finally\, in “Epilogue” all the frogs sing together\, each one bringing their own musical motive into this final movement. \nThis work is recorded on two CDs: \nSongs of California: Music for Winds and Piano \nAmerican Breeze – Musical Arts Quintet of Ball State University

SUMMARY:River City Winds Performs Jenni Brandon’s Spider Suite at The Adelante Winds Chamber Music Month San Antonio at The Madison Square Presbyterian Church
DESCRIPTION:Spider Suite\, by Jenni Brandon\, is performed at the Madison Square Presbyterian Church during Chamber Music Month in San Antonio Texas. River City Winds\, a trio from the San Antonio area\, performs Spider Suite. The performance is on Saturday\, May 18\, 2024\, from 7 – 8:30pm CDT. The address is 319 Camden St\, San Antonio\, Texas\, 78215\, (210) 226-6254\, church@msqpc.org\, http://www.msqpc.org/ . \nAlong with River City Winds\, other groups to perform are Adelante Winds (organizer)\, Prickly Pear Clarinets\, and the Clariphonic Clarinet Ensemble (student group). In this concert\, the Adelante Winds performs Rise\, by composer Shawn E. Okpebholo\, This is the Southern U.S. premier of this composition. Tickets are available from Event Brite a $10 donation is suggested. The concert will be livestreamed (URL TBP). \nAll of Jenni’s compositions are available for purchase on her website Home – Jenni Brandon https://www.jennibrandon.com \nProgram Note: \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. \nSpider Suite for oboe\, clarinet\, and bassoon was commissioned by the California Association of Professional Music Teachers and 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. \nMovement I: Along came a spider… \nMovement II: The Spider’s Flight (solo bassoon) \nMovement III: Spinning Song \nMovement IV: A Wicked Waltz: The Spider and the Happy Bug (unsuspecting) \nMovement V. The end of the day…begin again
