The ensemble has a special interest in redressing the balance of works performed by male and female composers\, and in performing new works. The Tailleferre Ensemble is a flexible chamber ensemble\, performing recitals of differing instrumentation and genre. \nThe Tailleferre Ensemble \nPenelope Smith & Nicola Hands\, oboes \nNicky Crowe\, flute \nLana Bode\, piano \nThe December 2\, 2021\, program is: \nJenni Brandon (b1977)\nMetamorphoses\, for two oboes and piano (2018)\nI Vulnerable\nII Evolving\nIII Transformation\nIV Rebirth\nV Transfiguration\nVI Breaking through the mold\nVII Regeneration\nVIII Emerging\nIX “The metamorphosis excites in the beholder an emotion of joy…”\nIngrid Stölzel (b1971)\nThere Are Things To Be Said (2009)\nfor flute\, oboe and piano\nMadeleine Dring (1923-1977)\nTrio for flute\, oboe and piano (1968)\nI.

The piano becomes the support that helps guide the changes along the way\, ebbing and flowing in its own voice. The instruments frequently intermingle\, continuously evolving into something new. It is a single-movement work in which the section titles come from a variety of synonyms for the word “metamorphosis. The sections relate to each other by transitioning\, growing and evolving throughout this journey of change. \nI. Vulnerable\nII. Evolving\nIII. Transformation\nIV. Rebirth\nV. Transfiguration\nVI. Breaking through the mold\nVII. Regeneration\nVIII. Emerging\nIX. “The metamorphosis excites in the beholder an emotion of joy…” \nThis work received its premiere performance and recording by Dr. Lindabeth Binkley (oboe) along with Dane Philipsen (oboe) and Mary Jo Cox (piano) on Dr. Binkley’s CD From Earth And Sky: Music Of Jenni Brandon on the Blue Griffin Record label in 2020. \nMetamorphosis is available for purchase on Jenni’s website at Metamorphosis for two oboes and piano – Jenni Brandon \n

SUMMARY:The Sequoia Trio\, by Jenni Brandon\, Performed by Herine Coetzee Koschak and the Fifth House Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Sequoia Trio\, by Jenni Brandon\, is performed by Herine Coetzee Koschak and the Fifth House Ensemble in their concert Sounds of Nature and City at the Epiphany Center for the Arts on Sunday\, December 5\, 2021 at 3:00pm. The Epiphany Center is located at 201 S Ashland Ave Chicago\, IL 60607. \nPraised by the New York Times for its “conviction\, authority\, and finesse\,” the Chicago-based Fifth House Ensemble (5HE) harnesses the collaborative spirit of chamber music to reach beyond the traditionally perceived limits of classical music. 5HE curates this series of intimate performances at Epiphany Center for the Arts\, celebrating works new and old\, amplifying voices of the less heard\, and delighting in the sheer joy of sound exploration with all who come along for the ride. \nSounds of Nature and City PROGRAM:\nCrankshaft – Robbie McCarthy\nUrban/Country Meditation – Pauline Oliveros\, arr. Elizandro Garcia-Montoya\nSequoia Trio – Jenni Brandon\nMovement for String Trio – Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson\nWhat Have You Done (Who Are You?) – Jordyn Davis\nDivertimento a tre – Franz Joseph Haydn\nQuartet for Oboe\, Clarinet\, Viola\, Bassoon – Ernest Toch \nMUSICIANS:\nGrace Hong\, oboe\nElizandro Garcia-Montoya\, clarinet\nGalina Kiep\, bassoon\nParker Nelson\, horn\nKhelsey Zarraga\, violin\nMason Spencer\, viola\nHerine Koschak\, cello \n“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” Jenni Brandon. \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 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 my composer residency with the Vientos Trio during 2008-2009. \nThis work appears on two CDs:\nSongs Of California: Music for Winds and Piano\, released by Jenni Brandon \nFrom Earth & Sky: Music of Jenni Brandon on the Blue Griffin Recording label \nMovement I.  Sequoiadendron giganteum: The Big Tree\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.” \nTree Interlude One \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.” \nMovement III.  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.

SUMMARY:Cumulonimbus: The King Of Clouds For Clarinet And Piano\, By Jenni Brandon\, Performed By Tori R Venske
DESCRIPTION:Cumulonimbus: The King Of Clouds for clarinet and piano\, by Jenni Brandon\, performed By Tori R Venske on December 5\, 2021 from 8pm to 9pm in the Pitman Recital Hall\, Oklahoma University School of Music. The recital is livestreamed or you may attend in person. Attendance is free. \nJenni’s  inspiration for this piece\, Cumulonimbus: The King of Clouds for B-flat clarinet and piano\, comes from a wonderful book titled The Cloudspotter’s Guide: The Science\, History\, and Culture of Clouds by Gavin Pretor-Pinney. In this book he describes all types of clouds\, from the Stratus all the way up to the Cirrocumulus cloud. Jenni particularly loved his chapter on the Cumulonimbus cloud and the description of the destruction and havoc that this cloud can make. Jenni thought it would be exciting to write a work that represents this cloud and its fury. \nThe piece begins ominously as a storm approaches and then moves into crashing clusters and the fast fury that a storm like this can bring. The clarinet leaps like hail and lightning\, and the piano boldly grows bigger as the storm rages. Jenni tries to tell the story of this cloud much in the way that the book describes the cloud\, including that “…it can lead to untold loss of life and damage to property. It has also been known to frighten little children with its thunder.” \nJenni had the pleasure to write this work for Marianne Breneman and Philip Amalong of Conundrum\, a Cincinnati-based new music ensemble. They premiered the work in Los Angeles on November 12\, 2011\, at Occidental College during a Synchromy concert. \nCumulonimbus: The King Of Clouds for clarinet and piano sheet music is available for purchase on Jenni’s website atCumulonimbus: The King of Clouds – for B-flat clarinet and Piano (jennibrandon.com)

SUMMARY:Colored Stones for Solo Bassoon\, by Jenni Brandon\, Presented by Eleni Katz at the New World Center\, Truist Pavilion
DESCRIPTION:Colored Stones for Solo Bassoon\, by Jenni Brandon\, Presented by Eleni Katz at the New World Center\, Bassoon Fellow Eleni Katz presents a multimedia recital that takes the audience on a three-part journey through the natural elements: Water\, Earth and Wind at the Truist Pavilion\, located at the New World Symphony\, New World Center\, 500 17th Street Miami Beach\, FL 33139\, Telephone (305) 673-3330 \nThe recital demonstrates the intertwinement of multiple art forms: double reed playing\, voice\, poetry and projection design. It will feature in performance Eleni and the Marea Duo\, a chamber ensemble that seeks to explore the sounds\, colors\, textures\, boundaries and capabilities of the bassoon\, oboe and the human voice. \nSolo Spotlight: Natural Element \nNew World Center\, Truist Pavilion \nMonday\, December 13\, 2021 at 7:00 PM \nMusicians \nEleni Katz\, bassoon \nThomas Steigerwald\, piano \nMarea Duo \nProgram \nMeretzky — Sea Glass Partita \nBrandon — Colored Stones \nScott — Elegy for Innocence \nVallon — Flux / Jusant \nKim — The Weight of Wind \nGershwin/Ford — “Summertime” \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. \n0 Smoky 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. \n0 Lapis 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. \n0 Tiger’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.
