7 SG Thomas Cabaniss, Our Guide Hi, I m Tom, a composer and your host for The Orchestra Swings. I am excited to invite you along with some of my talented musician friends to explore what it means to swing. Swing is many things, and though it is characteristically played by azz musicians, an orchestra can also swing. We encourage you to investigate the many rich meanings of swing, from the distinctive rhythmic ideas to the larger concept of musicians who listen deeply to one another and truly play together. All of these ideas contribute to the magical moment when music starts to swing. 1

8 SG 2 Hi, I m Courtney, a composer and pianist. Music is a wonderful vehicle for self-expression and community engagement. When we swing with the music, we include our own personal voice with the collective voice. We are all part of the whole, working together to create uninhibited beauty. For The Orchestra Swings, I composed a new piece for orchestra and azz ensemble called Do Your Thing that you will hear at the final Link Up concert. I look forward to swinging with you! Hi, I m Chris, a azz musician and trombonist. I have played music for many years, and I love all genres, from classical and rock to hip-hop and salsa. My favorite genre is azz, because you get to improvise and play whatever you want, whenever you want. It is total freedom! Most importantly, you get to do this with other musicians. When everyone is playing well together and really having fun, that is when the music swings. Improvisation is the key to my happiness, and I think it will be the key to yours, too.

33 SG 27 My Letter to the Orchestra Date Dear, Your friend,

34 ABOUT THE COMPOSERS Leonard Bernstein ( ), the celebrated American composer and conductor, started taking piano lessons at an early age. During his childhood and adolescence in Massachusetts, he played in public regularly. He studied music at Harvard University and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. At age 25, he made his conducting debut with the New York Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall, and went on to work as a guest conductor for orchestras around the world. In 1958, Bernstein became the music director of the New York Philharmonic, a position he held for more than a decade. He earned special acclaim for his Young People s Concerts, which were broadcast to television viewers around the country. (Fun fact: The first of these televised concerts was recorded at Carnegie Hall!) Bernstein also composed music for symphonies, small ensembles, musical theater, opera, film, and dance. Courtney Bryan (b. 1982) is a pianist and composer, and a New Orleans native. Her music ranges from solo works to large ensembles in the new music and azz idioms, film scores, and collaborations with dancers, visual artists, writers, and actors. She works within various musical genres, including azz and other types of experimental music, as well as traditional gospel, spirituals, and hymns. She performs around the New York City area, and is the director of the Institute of Sacred Music at Bethany Baptist Church of Newark, New Jersey. Bryan holds degrees from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music (BM), Rutgers University (MM), and Columbia University (DMA) with advisor George Lewis. Recent commissions include original compositions for The Dream Unfinished orchestra and chorus, the guitar ensemble Duo Noire, the New York Jazzharmonic, the Colorado Springs Philharmonic, and a new work for orchestra and azz septet, Do Your Thing, which premiered at the Link Up: The Orchestra Swings concert in Thomas Cabaniss (b. 1962) lives in New York City and composes music for opera, theater, dance, film, and concerts. He worked with choreographer Hilary Easton to create a series of dance-theater works, and his music for theater has appeared in shows on and off Broadway. He has written an opera based on E. T. A. Hoffmann s The Sandman, and he scored an Oscar winning short film, The Lunch Date. His choral works include Behold the Star, available on New World Records and published by Boosey & Hawkes. He is a member of the faculty of The Juilliard School.

35 Antonín Dvořák ( ) was born in a small village in Bohemia, which is now part of the Czech Republic, a country in central Europe. He was one of seven children. His parents recognized his musical talent, and at the age of six he began his musical training. He studied music in Prague and graduated as an accomplished violinist and violist before he was 20 years old. Dvořák is known for integrating elements of folk music from his native Bohemia into his works. The composer s Slavonic Dances utilize the rhythms of folk music, but were written with his own melodies. Dvořák moved to the US to accept a position as head of the National Conservatory of Music in He wrote his Symphony No. 9, From the New World, during his time in the US, and the New York Philharmonic premiered the work at Carnegie Hall in Duke Ellington ( ) is considered to be one of the most important figures in azz history. Born in Washington, DC, he began studying classical piano when he was around eight years old. As a teenager, he became interested in ragtime and azz and began playing in dance bands at clubs and parties. (Fun fact: The young Edward Ellington s real first name had an elegant sense of style, which earned him the nickname Duke from his friends.) He moved to New York City as a young man and began his career as a bandleader and composer. Ellington was hired to lead the house band at the Cotton Club, a famous azz club in Harlem. He went on to form the Duke Ellington Orchestra which became known all over the country thanks to radio broadcasts and popular recordings and toured the world for more than 50 years. Over the course of his long career, Ellington collaborated with many other azz greats, including Billy Strayhorn and Ella Fitzgerald, and wrote nearly 2,000 compositions. George Gershwin ( ) is one of the most famous American composers of the 20th century. Born in Brooklyn, he began studying music as a boy when his parents who were Russian immigrants bought a piano for his older brother, Ira. Gershwin left high school to work in Tin Pan Alley in New York City as a song plugger, playing the piano to help publishing houses advertise and sell new music. After that, he worked as a rehearsal pianist for musical theater. Gershwin used these early experiences to build a career as a composer. Eventually he began working with his brother Ira a lyricist forming a legendary partnership. Gershwin was fluent in composing many styles of music, from solo piano and orchestral works to musical theater, opera, and film. His best-known works include Rhapsody in Blue and An American in Paris, and the score for the opera Porgy and Bess. Gershwin died at the early age of 38 in Hollywood, California.
