SUMMARY:Jacob White Performs Jenni Brandon’s “Dawn”
DESCRIPTION:Jacob White performs Jenni Brandon’s “Dawn” with piano accompaniment on April 9\, 2019 at 8:00 PM in Fred Loewe Recital Hall at the University of Redlands. \n“Dawn for Horn in F and Piano” is a bold and adventurous work that captures the sparkle of a sunrise\, the swift winds\, and the inevitability of the rising dawn. \n“Dawn for Horn in F and piano” is inspired by a poem of the same name by Scandinavian Poet Edith Södergran (1892-1923).  This work was commissioned by Steven Cohen to make the premiere recording on his CD Cruise Control and premiere during the 50th International Horn Symposium.  He wanted a work that was bold and adventurous\, and this poem guides us on such a journey into unknown lands revealed by the coming dawn. \nThe piece opens freely as the piano fluidly fills the space between night and dawn.  The horn weaves the melodic gestures of the dawn\, skimming the surface with some unique techniques for the horn that represent the mysterious time between dark and light.  The colors of the horn and piano throughout the work capture the sparkle of a sunrise\, the swift winds\, and the inevitability of the rising dawn.    I was especially drawn to the idea of dawn being a female figure: “I am the pitiless goddess of the day…” and using the horn’s ability to be both delicate at times\, and at others\, powerful and grand\, to represent Dawn in all of her glory. \nIt is such an honor to write this work for Steven and to be a part the CD and project of new works for horn. \nPurchase “Dawn” from Jenni Brandon Music online at https://jennibrandon.com/product/dawn-for-horn-and-piano-pdf

SUMMARY:Double Helix by Jenni Brandon Performed by Cory Burris
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon’s Double Helix for piano and bassoon is performed by Cory Burris at the Desert Hills Presbyterian Church in a piano recital\, in partial fulfillment of his Master of Music in Performance degree requirements from Arizona State University. The performance is on Monday\, April 22\, 2019\, at 4:00 to 6:30 PM\, in the Sanctuary of the Desert Hills Presbyterian Church. The church location is 34605 N Tom Darlington Dr\, Scottsdale\, AZ 85262. \nRecitals are subject to cancellation. Before making a special trip\, please check with Corey Burris\, Email: cmburri2@asu.edu or Phone: 602-625-2293. \nDouble Helix for bassoon and piano was commissioned in 2014 by bassoonist Christin Schillinger to premiere and perform with Jed Moss on piano. This work is inspired by the sculpture of the same name by Long Beach\, California sculptor Susan Hawkins. This sculpture (pictured on the cover of this score) depicts two separate figures dancing around each other\, weaving their stories together\, but never touching. I loved the idea of using terms that are frequently used to describe dance and began to see the curves and lines and unique topography of these sculptures as fluid and moving. The bassoon and the piano become these two dancers\, gracefully moving across a stage to tell the story of this beautiful sculpture. \nIn “Prelude: Intertwine” the figures dance around each other\, one at first (the piano)\, and then the bassoon joining in\, flowing\, and weaving in and out of each other. As they move into the “Entrechat” you can hear the fast movement of the feet as the dancer leaps from the floor\, crossing and uncrossing the feet in mid-air as represented by the repeated staccato notes throughout this section. After much joyful leaping\, the bassoon and piano take turns with solos in “Divertissement: Gentle Beauty.” Leading into the section “Soar” which begins innocuously enough\, the dancers slowly begin to climb higher and higher\, reaching a climax in this section as the bassoon dazzles with its range and the piano moves deftly from one end of the keyboard to the other. Finally\, in “Postlude (Epilogue)” the original intertwine theme returns\, allowing the dancers to shift and flow gently around each other\, gently shifting back into the still image of the sculpture as the sound fades away.

SUMMARY:“Going to The Sun” by Jenni Brandon Performed by Barry Stees
DESCRIPTION:“Going to The Sun: Snapshots From Glacier National Park”\, by Jenni Brandon\, performed by Barry (Barrick)  Stees on Friday\, April 26th\, 7:30pm\, at the United Methodist Church\, 20 S. Franklin St.\, Chagrin Falls\, OH\, 44022\, (440) 247-5848. Barry Stees is the Assistant Principal Bassoon\, Sandra L. Haslinger Endowed Chair\, of The Cleveland Orchestra. The Cleveland Orchestra is one of the five American orchestras informally referred to as the “Big Five”. \nThe Stees Fusion of Music and Art program is performed by Barry (Barrick) Stees\, bassoon with; Randall Fusco\, piano and the Callisto Quartet: Paul Aguilar\, violin; Rachel Stenzel\, violin; Eva Kennedy\, viola; Hannah Moses\, cello; and Cynthia Watson Sperl\, oboe. Their program includes: \n\n“Going to The Sun: Snapshots From Glacier National Park”\, by Jenni Brandon (b. 1977 – )\n“Composition #8” by Jiří Trtík (b. 1989 – )\n“Composition #8” by Wassily Kandinsky\,\n“Shapes for Bassoon and Piano” (2019 World Premiere) by Jeffrey Rathbun\, (b. 1959 – )\n“Shaping Reality”\, knitted images and video by Melinda K.P. Stees\n“Andy Warhol Sez” by Paul Moravec (b. 1957 – )\,\n“Museum Pieces” by Susan Kander (b. 1957 – )\n“River of Light” by Daniel Baldwin (b. 1978 – )\n“El Rio de Luz” by Frederick Edwin Church\n“L’Appel (The Call)” by Désiré Dihau (1833-1909)\n“L’orchestre de l’Opéra” by Edgar Degas\n\nGoing to the Sun: Snapshots from Glacier National Park for oboe and bassoon explores the beauty of Glacier National Park in Montana. When Jennifer Gookin Cavanaugh approached me about writing a work\, she told me how much she has always loved visiting the park and that it had been a family tradition for many years. Both Jennifer and Elizabeth Ball Crawford\, who premiered this work\, taught at the University of Montana at the time of writing this work. I thought it fitting to write a work that highlighted the performers’ close connection to the area in which they lived. \nAs I began to spend time with hiking books\, topographical maps\, and pictures taken by many visitors to the park over the years\, I knew that a work about a journey through this park would be a great way to share not only Jennifer’s memories\, but also the many travelers on the Going to the Sun Road. Those fifty miles across the park bring the visitor in contact with lakes\, weeping walls\, animals\, meadows\, the Continental Divide\, and the power of the glacier that now moves closer and closer to extinction due to climate change. \nThe work is in one movement; however\, it is broken into several sections. I liked the idea of telling these stories like looking back at snapshots you might take on your vacation to remind you of these natural and manmade wonders: \n\nEarly morning on the Road\nFifty miles begin\nSunrise on Lake McDonald\nDriving the Loop\nThe Weeping Wall\nStepping onto Jackson Glacier Overlook\nJackson Glacier\nSunset at the end of The Road\nWeeping Wall\n\nThe oboe and bassoon are great story-telling instruments\, lending their voices and character to each of these sections\, painting the landscape with texture\, range\, and song. And while the vastness and beauty of this park is too big to capture in any work of music\, it is my hope that the listener can travel this road with us through this natural wonder and remember the importance of supporting our National Parks.
