SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s “The Sequoia Trio” Performed at Multiple Venues by The Solidago Trio
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon’s “The Sequoia Trio” performed at multiple venues by The Solidago Trio. The Solidago Trio is a newly established reed trio\, consisting of Dr. Thomas Pappas\, oboe; Dr. Lori Baruth\, clarinet; and Dr. David Oyen\, bassoon. They have performed together for the past few years as colleagues at Morehead State University and decided to form a professional trio the summer of 2019. Morehead State University is located at 150 University Blvd.\, Morehead\, KY 40351. Telephone number is 1-800-585-6781. \nThe performances for “The Spider Suite” are: \n2020 \nFebruary 6\, 3:45PM – Recital @ Kentucky Music Educators Association Conference\, Louisville\, KY. Program: Milhaud Suite d’Après Corrette\, Jacob Trio\, Jenni Brandon The Sequoia Trio \nJanuary 25\, 3:00PM – Recital @ Lexington Central Library\, Lexington\, KY. Program: Milhaud Suite d’Après Corrette\, Jacob Trio\, Jenni Brandon The Sequoia Trio\, Auric Trio \nJanuary 17\, 8:00PM – Special Concert for 2020 KMEA District 8 All-District Band @ Boyd County High School Auditorium\, Ashland\, KY. Program: Milhaud Suite d’Après Corrette\, Jacob Trio\, Jenni Brandon The Sequoia Trio \n2019 \nSeptember 15\, 3:00PM – Recital @ Morehead State University. Program: Ibert Cinq Pièces en Trio\, Milhaud Suite d’Après Corrette\, Jacob Trio\, Jenni Brandon The Sequoia Trio \nJenni said “I had returned from a trip to Sequoia National Park in July of 2008 and was inspired by the great trees. I knew that these would be the basis for the new work\, and in searching for a voice of these great trees I turned to the words of John Muir for inspiration.” \nEach movement of the six movements 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. \nThis piece was written during Jenni’s composer residency with the Vientos Trio during 2008-2009. \nBuy “The Sequoia Trio” at this link.

SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s “Two Immigrants for SATB choir\, cello\, and piano” Performed by The Mid-Columbia Master Singers
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon  ’s “Two Immigrants for SATB choir\, cello\, and piano” is performed by The Mid-Columbia Master Singers. The Mid-Columbia Master Singers present their concert titled American Dreamers on: \nFriday\, Jan. 10\, 7:30 p.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Church\, Pasco\, Wash. \nSaturday\, Jan. 11\, 7:30 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church\, Kennewick\, Wash. \nSunday\, Jan. 12\, 4 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church\, Sunnyside\, Wash. \nMid-Columbia Mastersingers is pleased to present its third subscription cycle of the 2019-20 season entitled “American Dreamers\,” a concert program that explores our immigrant past and the meaning of home. We are pleased to partner with the Tri-Cities Immigrant Coalition\, a non-partisan organization who will help expand conservations around important immigrant issues affecting us at the local and national level. A variety of choral works performed are by contemporary American composers\, many of which have their own immigrant stories to share through their music. \nTWO IMMIGRANTS for SATB choir\, cello\, and piano tells the story of two young immigrants who come to America from a different land.  They seek out what many immigrants did in coming to America – a chance to build a life\, grow a career and family\, and live the American dream.  This poem by Maya Porcelli\, a student at California School of the Arts – San Gabriel\,   is inspired by the family story of Dr. Michael J. Patzakis and Susan Giorkaris Patzakis\, whose families came through Ellis Island early in the 20th century. This poem beautifully tells of what their parents left behind\, but in coming together they created a new story of love\, family\, and hope\, and so many opportunities for their children and grandchildren. I think it captures not only a beautiful tribute to their family and Greek heritage\, but tells the story of the spirit and harmony of many immigrants who came to America’s shores from another country. \nThe music moves through light and darkness as the immigrants are faced with heartache and loss.  The cello adds a deep\, resonant voice of the immigrant as they search for their footing in the rocky terrain of a new language\, new experiences\, and new emotions. The choir explores these emotions\, supported by the piano’s often forward movement like that of a large ship crossing the ocean on its way to Ellis Island.  The work ends with a feeling of hope as the immigrants create a new life in this new land. \nIt is truly an honor to write this work to celebrate the life and honor the family of Dr. and Mrs. Patzakis\, and to have the California School of the Arts – San Gabriel Valley Choir under the direction of Ryan Brown give the world premiere.  A big thank you to Theresa Patzakis for supporting the creation of this work in honor of her parents\, and to Katherine Powers\, director of the Vocal Arts Department of CSArts-SGV. \nTWO IMMIGRANTS for SATB choir\, cello\, and piano is available for purchase on Jenni Brandon’s web site at https://jennibrandon.com/

SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s “Sequoia Trio” Performed by The Deer Valley Trio.
DESCRIPTION:The Deer Valley Trio performed Jenni Brandon’s “Sequoia Trio” on January 16 & 18\, 2020. The first performance\, on January 16th\, was on campus at Deer Valley High School. The January 18th performance was at the Arizona State Solo and Ensemble Festival. Deer Valley High School is located at 18424 N 51st Ave\, Glendale\, AZ 85308\, (602) 467-6700. \nJenni Brandon’s “Sequoia Trio” was written after she had returned from a trip to Sequoia National Park in July of 2008 and was inspired by the great trees. I knew that these would be the basis for the new work\, and in searching for a voice of these great trees she turned to the words of John Muir for inspiration. \nEach 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 resilient attitude that young trees must maintain 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. \nTree Interlude One \n\nSequoiadendron giganteum: The Big Tree\n\n“Southward the giants become more and more irrepressibly jubilant\, heaving their massive crowns into the sky from every ridge and slope\, waving onward in graceful compliance with the complicated topography of the region”. \nThis piece was written during my composer residency with the Vientos Trio during 2008-2009 \nMovement II. “A crowd of hopeful young trees and saplings…” \n“But here for every old storm-beaten giant there are many in their prime and for each of these a crowd of hopeful young trees and saplings\, growing vigorously on moraines\, rocky ledges\, along water courses and meadows.” \nIII. The Three Graces \n“Groups of two or three (sequoias) are often found standing close together…They are called “loving couples\,” “three graces\,” etc.… By the time they are full-grown their trunks will touch and crowd against each other…” \nTree Interlude Two \nMovement IV. The Noble Trees \n“…the Big Trees (sequoia gigantean)\, the king of all the conifers in the world\, ‘the noblest of the noble race.’” \n– Quotes taken from The Yosemite\, 1912 \nby John Muir \nText is in the public domain. \nThis piece was written during my composer residency with the Vientos Trio during 2008-2009. \nThe “Sequoia Trio” is available for purchase at this link.

SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s “Spider Suite” Performed by The Coriolis Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Coriolis Trio performs Jenni Brandon’s “Spider Suite” Saturday\, January 18\, 2020 at 1:00 PM for a meeting of the East Bay Alumnae chapter of the International Sigma Alpha Iota Music Fraternity in Pleasanton\, California. The Trio will also perform “Spider Suite” at a home concert in Danville\, California\, on September 20\, 2020. Neither of these is a public event. \nThe Trio is from the Walnut Creek – Danville – San Ramon\, California area. The Coriolis Trio members are Eva Langfeldt — oboe\, Christy Diggins — clarinet\, and Lisa Canter — bassoon. Ms. Langfeldt states “The Trio members are very active (actually rather overactive) community orchestra and chamber musicians”. In the past they have performed “The Wildflower Trio”. In the future Ms. Langfeldt hopes to perform “Five Frogs”. \nIn “Spider Suite” We 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 at once 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\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\n\n“Spider 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. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jenni Brandon’s “Three Desert Fables for solo oboe” Performed at Arkansas State University
DESCRIPTION:“Three Desert Fables”  for solo oboe by Jenni Brandon is presented at Arkansas State University by Dr. Kristin Leitterman\, oboe and Emily Trapp Jenkins\, collaborative pianist in a concert\, themed “American Voyages.” The concert is at 7:30 p.m. on Monday\, January 27\, 2020 at the Arkansas State University in Riceland Hall of Fowler Center\, 201 Olympic Dr.\, Jonesboro\, Arkansas (870) 972-2100. \n“Three Desert Fables” for solo oboe tells the story of the unique relationship between the Joshua trees found in the Mojave Desert and the Yucca moth. The Joshua tree relies on the moth for pollination\, and the moth lays her eggs in the flowers of the Joshua tree where the larvae live off the yucca seeds. In fact\, one cannot survive without the other\, and this relationship is much like a fable\, making this a wonderful story to tell as a solo for oboe. \nThe Joshua tree is dance-like and angular\, its branches twisting and gnarled. In contrast the moth is fluid and lyrical\, flying to the highest flowers of the Joshua tree to lay her eggs and to pollinate the white flowers of the tree. In the final section of the piece the Joshua tree and the moth dance together\, relying on each other for their survival in the harshness of the desert. This piece was written in collaboration with oboists Ryan Zwahlen of the Definiens Project and Laura Medisky at the University of Wisconsin. \n“Three Desert Fables for solo oboe” is available on Jenni’s web site at https://jennibrandon.com/product/three-desert-fables-for-solo-oboe-score/
