SUMMARY:CANE: Bassoon Concerto performed during the International Double Reed Society Conference
DESCRIPTION:Performance of CANE: Bassoon Concerto with Reed Quintet by the Limitless Collective during the 2019 International Double Reed Society Conference in Tampa\, Florida. \n\nTampa\, Florida\n1:45 pm\nBarness Recital\, University of South Florida\nJuly 14\, 2019 \nCo-commissioned by Dr. Christin Schillinger and\nthe Akropolis Reed Quintet \nThe first concerto of its kind\, Cane: Bassoon Concerto with Reed Quintet by Jenni Brandon\,  tells a dramatic story of one bassoon reed’s journey from its origins as raw\, organic cane\, to the final joy of playing on the finished reed. The colors of the reed quintet and the virtuosic solo bassoon intermingle in this through-composed piece to take the listener through this vivid experience. Rhythm\, lyrical lines\, extended techniques\, Afro-Cuban style music\, jazz and fugue join together to remind us that this is an organic process. From making reeds to making music\, we come together to create performance. Ever changing and ever evolving\, every reed and every performance is unique\, and Cane promises to tell this story in a powerful and exciting new way. \nThere are several sections in this through-composed work\, taking us on a journey that is the life of a bassoon reed: \nI. Split: short and percussive\, like splitting cane \nII. Gouge: Rhythmic\, steady and driving. Removing and leaving… \nIII.   Shape \nIV. Profile: Mechanical\, with a little bit of mischief \nV. Form: The cane becomes a reed (Internal/external sounds of transition) \nVI. Scrape: In the style of Afro-Cuban music \nVII. Playing the reed: Swing\, sassy; thoughtful\, reflective; with reverence; the reed plays… \nPerformed by members of the Limitless Collective:\nChristin Schillinger – bassoon soloist\nLindabeth Binkley – oboe\nJana Starling – clarinet\nNicki Roman – saxophone\nElizabeth Crawford – bass clarinet\nMarybeth Minnis – bassoon \nwww.limitlesscollective.com

SUMMARY:Hyon Suk Kim Performs Jenni Brandon’s “Stardust” At ClarinetFest 2019
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon’s “Stardust” performed by Hyon Suk Kim At ClarinetFest 2019 in Knoxville\, Tennessee on July 24\, 2019 at 5:00 PM. Hyon Suk Kim recently moved from South Korea to Regina and joined the Regina Symphony Orchestra\, Regina\, SK Canada as a Principal Clarinetist. Previously Hyon Suk Kim was the principal clarinetist with the Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra\, Daejeon\, Korea. She studied at McGill University\, Yale University\, and Northwestern University. \nClarinetFest 2019 is held at the Natalie L. Haslam Music Center\, Student Union Building\, and Alumni Memorial Building\, 1408 Middle Drive on the campus of the University of Tennessee. The conference will feature performances by the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra among others. \n \n“Stardust” for solo E-flat Clarinet\, commissioned by clarinetist Elizabeth Crawford in 2014\, explores the lyrical and jazzy abilities of this instrument\, turning to popular songs of the 20’s and 30’s as inspiration.  I grew up playing and singing much of this repertoire at the piano\, learning a lot about writing melody from this incredible era of songwriting.  Each movement of this work plays with these popular themes\, sometimes using an interval\, a few notes\, or a line from within the work as inspiration\, allowing the E-Flat clarinet to shine by playing with range\, color\, and extended techniques.  I also liked the idea of linking pieces together that spoke of stars and the moon – a popular theme of this era! \nA Love of My Own – Inspired by “Blue Moon” by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart\, 1934. The title comes from a line within the work\, and the melodic material comes from the opening “Blue Moon\, you saw me standing alone…” \nInto the Blue Sky – inspired by “Blue Skies” by Irving Berlin\, 1926. The smooth\, flowing line in this movement comes from the opening melodic line of the song “Blue skies\, smiling at me.” The movement flies higher and higher “into the blue sky” until we fly too close to the sun (like Icarus) and fall from great heights. \nIII. A Paper Moon – Inspired by “It’s Only a Paper Moon” by Harold Arlen\, 1933.  The opening of Arlen’s song begins with an octave leap\, and this becomes a prominent motive throughout.  The timbral trills create a shimmering light of the moon\, and listen for direct snippets of Arlen’s song\, from the descending lines\, to the swing section in the middle of the piece. \nA Stardust Melody – Inspired by Hoagy Carmichael’s song Stardust\, 1927\, with lyrics added in 1929 by Mitchell Parish. Carmichael wrote this song while a student at Indiana University in Bloomington. The clarinet work explores the melodic line “Love is now the stardust of yesterday” in the opening\, and mixes in swing-style rhythms as a homage to the works of this era. \nIt was an honor to write this piece for Elizabeth Crawford. She premiered the work during the Clarimania Festival in Wrocław\, Poland in April 2015. \nStardust for solo E-flat clarinet now appears on the CD INSTANT WINNERS – Albany Records\, recorded by Elizabeth Crawford.
