SUMMARY:Double Helix\, By Jenni Brandon\, Performed by Joe Florance
DESCRIPTION:Double Helix\, by Jenni Brandon\, is performed by Joe Florance bassoon\, at the University of Maryland\, School of Music\, Tawes Fine Arts Building\, Ulrich Recital Hall\, College Park\, Maryland as part of his recital at 5:00pm on November 7\, 2021. The recital will be live streamed at https://vimeo.com/630179312/a01a7c7fa6. \nThe recital program is: \nDouble Helix\, Jenni Brandon \nTranslations\, Natalie Moller \nThe Five Sacred Trees\, John Williams. \nDouble Helix for bassoon and piano (bassoon and piano sheet music) was commissioned in 2014 by bassoonist Christin Schillinger to premiere and perform with the late 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. \nIt was a joy to write this work for these talented musicians\, who premiered the work on the campus of UCLA on September 21st\, 2015. \nDouble Helix is available for purchase on Jenni’s website at Double Helix – Bassoon and piano sheet music (jennibrandon.com).

SUMMARY:“At Night” by Jenni Brandon\, Arranged by Senior Chief Musician Sheila Cullen\, Performed by the Clarinet Choir\, United States Naval Academy Band
DESCRIPTION:“This is a gorgeous new arrangement of my work “At Night” originally for SATB a cappella. The amazing Senior Chief Musician Sheila Cullen of the United States Naval Academy Band arranged the work for clarinet choir and performs it here with her colleagues. I am so grateful and humbled by the creativity of Sheila to have the vision to arrange this work for clarinet choir. I hope you all enjoy this beautiful video and performance!” Jenni Brandon… \nAs the sun sets on the U.S. Naval Academy summer of 2021\, you are invited to enjoy some beautiful sounds and nighttime scenes from the U.S. Naval Academy. The music is “At Night” for acapella choir\, written by composer Jenni Brandon. The piece was inspired by an evocative poem by Amy Lowell about a breezy summer night. \nSenior Chief Musician Sheila Cullen\,  United States Naval Academy Band arranged Jenni Brandon’s work for a six-member clarinet choir for this recording. The video was filmed at the historic Zimmermann Bandstand and at various locations around the Naval Academy. \n“At Night” by Amy Lowell (1874‐1925) \nThe wind is singing through the \ntrees to‐night\, \nA deep‐voiced song of rushing cadences \nAnd crashing intervals. \nNo summer breeze \nIs this\, though hot July is at its height\, \nGone is her gentler music; with delight \nShe listens to this booming like the seas\, \nThese elemental\, loud necessities \nWhich call to her to answer their swift might. \nAbove the tossing trees shines down a star\, \nQuietly bright; this wild\, tumultuous joy \nQuickens nor dims its splendour. \nAnd my mind\, \nO Star! Is filled with your white light\, \nfrom far\, \nSo suffer me this one night to enjoy \nThe freedom of the onward sweeping wind. \n(From A Dome of Many‐Coloured Glass. \n1912\, Houghton Mifflin Company \nPoem is in the public domain.) \n  \nMusic: \n“At Night” by Jenni Brandon (Used with permission) \nArranged by Senior Chief Musician Sheila Cullen\, United States Naval Academy Band \nAmy Lowell’s poem “At Night” for SATB a cappella speaks of the wind singing through the trees and the excitement of the wild wind. The voices imitate this idea of the wind at the beginning and end of the piece through freely sung sections. Much of the piece contains this feeling of joyful freedom\, from the dance-like section of “with delight she listens to the booming of the seas” to the “wild\, tumultuous joy” that grows and builds with excitement. When the voices come together to exclaim “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. \nThis piece 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 29\, 2008. \nChief Musician Jason Broadwater\, Sound Engineer \nCommander Diane Nichols\, conductor \nClarinet Choir Members: \nSenior Chief Musician Lynda Dembowski\, clarinet \nSenior Chief Musician Sheila Cullen\, clarinet \nChief Musician Sam Chin\, clarinet \nMusician 1st Class Will Kelly\, clarinet \nSenior Chief Musician Jim Hurd\, bass clarinet \nSenior Chief Musician Colin Renick\, bass clarinet \nVideo Production: \nSenior Chief Musician Colin Renick \nMusician 1st Class Matt Harriman \nMusician 1st Class Aden Beery \nMusician 1st Class Marcus Flores \n#USNavy #USNA #navymusic #jennibrandon #clarinet #clarinetist

SUMMARY:Chris Mothersole And Jenni Brandon Conduct A Workshop On Performing And Writing For Electroacoustic Clarinet
DESCRIPTION:Chris Mothersole & Jenni Brandon will conduct a workshop on performing and writing for electroacoustic clarinet. The workshop is scheduled for October 16\, 2021\, at 1:00 PM EST. The workshop is part of The International Clarinet Association’s (ICA) New Music Weekend October 16-17\, 2021\, from 12:00 noon – 6:00 pm (Eastern Time Zone). \nThe ICA New Music Weekend is a two-day virtual festival. This event is free and open to anyone who loves the clarinet and wants to spend a pleasant time with other promoters of contemporary music. Come and meet other clarinetists from all over the world! This event is sponsored by the ICA New Music Committee. However\, you must register to take part. \nThis workshop\, on performing and writing for electroacoustic clarinet\, is intended to serve as a guide for both clarinetists and composers to integrate clarinet performance with digital effects. American clarinetist Chris Mothersole will discuss the basics of using some of the main types of effects\, specifically using guitar pedals\, and demonstrate examples of notation used in works from several different composers. A recent collaboration with composer Jenni Brandon has created a commissioning consortium for a new work for solo clarinet with two different types of delay\, to be premiered in late 2021. While she is unable to attend the weekend’s festivities\, Jenni is excited for this opportunity to share with performers and other composers her experience of writing for electroacoustic clarinet for the first time. In this workshop\, she will present a pre-recorded talk explaining the creative process and how digital effects have opened up the sound color possibilities of a single-line instrument. \nJenni & Chris will provide a sneak peak of Jenni’s new work “Cacophony” for Solo B-flat Clarinet with Delay pedal commissioned by Chris Mothersole (Facebook)! Jenni is really excited about this new work! She says it has been fun learning how to write with Delay pedal\, and Chris is going to give a killer world premiere of this work on November 17. Jenni is so enjoying the colors the delay pedal adds to the clarinet and have had so much fun working with Chris on this new piece!

SUMMARY:Leah Forsyth Performs “In The City At Night”\, by Jenni Brandon at Northwestern State University
DESCRIPTION:Leah Forsyth on English Horn perform\, in a faculty recital\, In The City At Night\, by Jenni Brandon\, at Northwestern State University (NSU) in the Magale Recital Hall\,  Creative and Performing Arts Annex\, 143 Central Ave\, Natchitoches\, LA 71457 on Friday\, October 22\, 2021 at 6:00pm CDT. She will be accompanied by Dr. Chialing Hsieh on piano and Dr. Greg Handel on organ. The program is: \nRhapsody                                           Gordon Jacob (1895 – 1984) \nConcertino in G Major                     Gaetano Doniaetti (1797 – 1848 \nPause \nPieta                                                    Ulysses Kay (1917 – 1995 \nIn the City at Night                           Jenni Brandon (b. 1977) \nNosferatu of the Night!                     Michael Isaacson (b. 1946) \nEinsame Blumen                               Robert Schumann (1910 – 1856) \nLeah Forsyth is an assistant professor of oboe at Northwestern State University\, School of Music. Prior to joining the NSU faculty in 2011\, she served as oboist with the United States Army Field Band in Washington D.C. from 2007-2011\, where she also performed regularly throughout the United States with the Woodwind Ambassadors Quintet. She previously held the position of solo English Horn with the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra from 2005-2007. Forsyth holds the positions of principal oboe of the Rapides Symphony Orchestra and second oboe with the Texarkana Symphony. She performs regularly with the Shreveport Symphony as well as other orchestras throughout Louisiana and Texas. She is a founding member of the Three Reeds Duo with husband and saxophonist Paul Forsyth. Three Reeds performs throughout the world\, building a repertoire ranging from baroque and classical transcriptions to contemporary and newly commissioned works. \nIn The City At Night (solo English horn sheet music) was written at the request of Ryan Zwahlen\, oboe and English horn player with the Definiens Project…He was searching for new literature for the English horn and wanted to increase the repertoire by requesting composers to write new pieces for him to perform and record. Jenni wanted to write him a piece that uses the lovely\, lyrical range of the English horn while at the same time composing something that was also rhythmically fun to play. In The City At Night focuses on just that; it is at times playful and fast like many lights blinking on just after dusk in the city. At other times it is quiet and serene like the city streets that are empty at the early hours before dawn. In creating this world\, Jenni wanted the listener to be left with thoughts and impressions of a city after dark\, and the lone voice of the English horn telling the story of a night adventure on the city streets. \nIn The City At Night is available\, on Jenni’s website\, at the following link In the City at Night – solo English horn sheet music (jennibrandon.com)

SUMMARY:The Hong Kong Philharmonic Bassoonists Perform “Colored Stones” Smoky Quartz by Jenni Brandon
DESCRIPTION:The Hong Kong Philharmonic Bassoonists perform “Colored Stones\,” Smoky Quartz by Jenni Brandon on October 24\, 2021\, 3:00pm\, at the Grand Hall\, Lee Shau Kee Lecture Centre\, Hong Kong University.  The performers are Benjamin Moermond\, Toby Chan\, Vance Lee\, Fox Chan King-hei\, and Adam Treverton Jones Contrabassoon. The program is: \n\nJenni BRANDON Colored Stones: Smoky Quartz\nFrancisco MIGNONE Sonata no. 1 for Two Bassoons\nErwin SCHULHOFF Bassnachtigal (Bass Nightingale)\nDai FUJIKURA Following\nPeter TANG Humoresque (World Premiere)\nVictor BRUNS Kleine Suite no. 1\, op. 55\nDEBUSSY Girl with the Flaxen Hair\nMUSSORGSKY Selections from Pictures at an Exhibition\n\nThe Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra\, in collaboration with the Hong Kong University MUSE\, is delighted to showcase the bassoonists of the HK Phil\, as part of this chamber music series spotlighting different sections of the orchestra. This varied program gives the chance to know the bassoon more closely\, with its large range of colors\, textures and techniques. In addition to lively original compositions for bassoon ensembles of two to five players\, the program features work for solo bassoon and solo contrabassoon\, as well as a world premiere by HKU composer Peter Tang. A selection of movements from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition arranged for five bassoons will conclude the performance. \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. \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. \nIt was 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. \nThis work is available for purchase through Imagine Music Publishing.

SUMMARY:Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette for solo B-flat Clarinet\, Jenni Brandon\, Performed by Kale Welte
DESCRIPTION:Kale Welte performs\, in recital\, Jenni Brandon’s  Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette for solo B-flat Clarinet on October 24\, 2021 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Hahn Recital Hall at Ball State University School of Music. Kale\, accompanied by pianist Michael Seregow\, will also perform music by W.A. Mozart\, Robert Muczynski\, and Louis Spohr. Kale Welte is a clarinet student of Elizabeth Crawford\, professor of music performance (clarinet). This recital is free and open to the public. \nChansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette for solo B-flat clarinet was inspired by the images presented in Aesop’s fables and 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\nLe Poisson\nLe Papillon\nLe Lièvre et La Tortue\nL’Etoile\nDansez!\nLe Serpent\n\nChansons de la nature pour la clarinette was required repertoire for the 2020-2021 International Clarinetist Corona Competition – Classical Category! The sheet music for this piece is available on Jenni’s website at Chansons de la nature pour la clarinette – solo B-flat clarinet sheet music (jennibrandon.com) \nThis work appeared on Jenni’s CD Songs Of California: Music For Winds And Piano and is available through your favorite music service for your listening pleasure. \nCarrie RavenStem performed Chansons de la Nature pour la Clarinette at the 2020 Woodwind Fest

SUMMARY:The Dream of Birds\, by Jenni Brandon\, Performed At A Ball State University Faculty Artist Series
DESCRIPTION:“The Dreams of Birds For alto flute and piano”\, by Jenni Brandon\, was performed at A Ball State University  Faculty Artist Series on Friday\, October 29\, 2021\, 5:00pm\, in the Sursa Performance Hall. This recital is free and open to the public. \nThe Faculty Artist Series allows the School of Music faculty to share their talent and passion for music with the campus and community. The faculty members for this for this recital are: Mihoko Watanabe\, professor of flute\, Zoran Jakovcic\, assistant professor of music (viola)\, and Cara Chowning\, assistant teaching professor (vocal coach and music appreciation). \n \n“The Dreams of Birds For alto flute and piano” 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. It was an honor to write this piece for Jenni Olson to premiere and record. \nJenni’s work ‘‘The Dreams of Birds for alto flute and piano (alto flute and piano sheet music) is performed by Jenni Olson-alto flute and Bryan Pezzone – piano on Jenni Olson’s new CD “The Dreams of Birds” featuring the works of living composers. \nOther composers featured on this CD of works by living composers for various flutes includes Alex Shapiro\, Dave Volpe\, Damian Montano\, Bear McCreary\, Joachim Horsley\, Peter Jaffe\, and Daniel Kelley. \n“The Dreams of Birds For alto flute and piano” sheet music is available on Jenni’s website at the following link: “The Dreams of Birds – alto flute and piano” sheet music (jennibrandon.com)
