3 P R O G R A M N O T E W I L D N I G H T S! is a joyous, colorful seven-minute musical journey inspired by Emily Dickinson s poem: Wild Nights! Wild Nights! Were I with thee, Wild Nights should be Our luxury! Futile the winds To a heart in port, Done with the compass, Done with the chart. Rowing in Eden! Ah! the sea! Might I but moor To-night in Thee! Numerous composers have set the words of W I L D N I G H T S! to music (Lee Hoiby s song setting and John Adams Harmonium, come immediately to mind). However, to my knowledge, no one has used this wonderfully sensuous poem as the basis for a purely instrumental tone poem. This was my aim, and in so doing I focused most heavily on the lines Done with the compass,/done with the chart and Rowing in Eden!/Ah! the sea! These words suggested the sense of freedom and ecstatic joy that I tried to express in my work. Throughout the piece, even during its darker middle section, the music is mercurial, impetuous, optimistic. A jazzy syncopated rhythmic motive permeates the journey. Unexpected events come and go, lending spontaneity and a sense of freedom. The work is composed in five distinct sections, but contained within each section are numerous surprises and a devil-may-care swagger. Surprises are found at every turn, and continue right through to the final cadence. W I L D N I G H T S! was commissioned by the California Band Directors Association in celebration of their 50th anniversary. F R A N K T I C H E L I

4 R E H E A R S A L N O T E S The piece falls into five main sections; however, within each section the music flows with considerable freedom. Section Measures A - 65 B 66-5 A' 5-9 C 95-9 Coda 0-5 A - S E C T I O N ( M E A S U R E S t o 6 5 ) It is crucial that the Percussion player(s) have both a large bass drum and a pedal bass drum. The pedal bass drum, with its dry, compact thud, is crucial as an accompaniment to the marcato/staccato low brass notes (e.g., mm. 6,, 6, etc.), whereas the large bass drum is used where a more resonant and sustained sound is called for. Rhythmic precision is crucial whenever the syncopated motive occurs, especially when it is played by upper woodwinds and doubled in the mallet percussion instruments (e.g., mm. 8, 5, 6, 9,, etc.). Because of the physical distance between the mallets and upper woodwinds, it may require some creative effort to get the two forces exactly together. The timpani solo in mm , marked fff with accents [!], must compete with a loud tutti passage, and therefore should be played as aggressively as possible. B - S E C T I O N ( M E A S U R E S 6 6 t o 5 ) This section is darker in quality, but with the sense of urgency still present. In measures 69-76, the alto saxophone melody must sound above the rest of the ensemble. The answering woodwind/mallet triplets and muted trumpet triplets should be equally aggressive, and, once

5 again, the rhythmic synchronization between the upper woodwinds and mallet instruments may require some attention in rehearsals (eg., mm ). At m. 77, the flute and piccolo join in at a tenth above the saxophone melody. But the oboe /trumpet countermelody should not be overlooked either. Make sure they too are heard. At mm , the majestic trumpet solo must soar above the chattering woodwinds. If necessary, either drop the woodwinds one dynamic level (my first preference) or change the trumpet passage from solo to tutti (my second preference). At mm. 96-7, the clarinets and saxophones sound in the foreground, but it is also important that one hear the little interjections sounding all around them (e.g., upper woodwinds in m. 97, trumpets in m. 99, 0, etc.). In mm. 8-, the parallel tenths sounding in the bassoon and euphonium/tuba must sound secure and confident. Well-played accents and rhythmic accuracy will enhance this quality. The bell-like fp tones may be exaggerated as ffpp and must also be dead-on rhythmically. A ' - S E C T I O N ( M E A S U R E S 5 t o 9 ) The music bursts out joyfully as a signal for the return of the main material. All which applied in the first A section still holds here. This return is shorter, but is otherwise very similar to that of the beginning. The conductor may wish to point out some of the variations which occur here (e.g., compare mm. 8-8 with mm ). C - S E C T I O N ( M E A S U R E S 9 5 t o 9 ) An unexpected oasis appears out of nowhere in mm , but it is still beating urgently underneath its calm exterior. The accents and sixteenth-note rocket-gestures remind the listener that this journey offers no rest.

6 The little double-tongued episode at mm. 00-0, and the longer solo marimba episode at mm. 06- are two more examples of the kinds of unexpected surprises marking the journey. The marimba plays in the foreground, but not so loudly that it overpowers the clarinets and muted brass interjections. (During rehearsals for the premiere, I was amazed at how loud the marimba passage could be if not controlled!) Similarly, be sure that the temple blocks are not overplayed, but instead in balance with the muted brass chords. Some tricky hocket-like passages occur in mm. 8- between the horns/saxes and trumpets and timpani/pedal bass drum. Ensemble accuracy is crucial here. The quick interchanges are extremely effective if played with rhythmic precision. C O D A ( M E A S U R E S 0 t o 5 ) Before launching headlong into the coda, allow ample time for the sound to clear in the preceding bar, almost giving the listener the impression that the piece ends at m. 9. Then go! The end of the journey is in sight, but brings with it one final surprise: the last two chords are transposed a halfstep higher than expected, and are suddenly held back a bit tempo-wise, as though you are suddenly pulling hard on the reigns of a horse just before it runs over the edge of a cliff. Whoa! Sustain the final chord at its full value (or perhaps a hair longer?) to give the full dramatic effect. F R A N K T I C H E L I

Some paper, only three or four decades old, already has become impossible to handle so brittle it crumbles to the touch. Surely we do not want today s music to be unavailable to those who will inhabit the future. If the music of the Renaissance had not been written on vellum it could never have been preserved and we would not have it today, some four hundred years later. Let us give the same consideration to the musicians in our future. It was with this thinking that Manhattan Beach Music in 988 first addressed the needs of the archivist by printing all of its concert band music on acid-free paper that met the standards specified in the American National Standard for Information Sciences Permanence of Paper for Printed Library Materials (ANSI Z9.8-98). The standard was revised on October 6, 99 to include coated papers; all of our new editions and reprints of older editions meet this revised standard. With proper care and under proper environmental conditions, this paper should last for at least several hundred years. Technical notes: Paper permanence is related to several factors: The acidity or alkalinity (ph) of the paper is perhaps the most critical criterion. Archival paper (also known as acid-free paper, alkaline paper, and permanent paper) is acid-free, has a ph between 7.5 and 0, is tear resistant, has an alkaline reserve equivalent to % calcium carbonate (to neutralize any acid that might arise from natural aging of the paper or from environmental pollution), and contains no unbleached pulp or groundwood (no more than % lignin by weight). The specific standards summarized here are set forth in detail by the National Information Standards Organization in American National Standard Z For more information, contact: NISO, 7 Bethesda Avenue, Suite 00, Bethesda, MD 08, This paper meets the requirements of ANSI/NISO Z (Permanence of Paper) B O B M A R G O L I S P U B L I S H E R N E I L R U D D Y C R E A T I V E D I R E C T O R C O F O U N D E R S P R I N T I N G : C H E R N AY P R I N T I N G, I N C.
