Program Notes

This short work is my contribution to the Jack Stamp Suite, a larger work cobbled of Jack's friends to honor an exemplary teacher upon his retirement. With this piece, I enjoyed taking a new look at the materials found in Jack's seminal early work, Gavorkna Fanfare, manipulating them in a way that might hopefully enjoy anew the breath of fresh energy that this Stamp composition was to the band repertory when it first gained popularity. At that time, Jack's piece was featured immediately before my own Imprints on our publisher's demo recording. The two works were mysteriously and inextricably linked by a huge tam-tam hit, a musical moment that didn't belong to either of our works. We've enjoyed relating the story ever since of a phone call between us that found each other asking the same question, "Was that yours?" This work is my way of handing it off to him.

- Program Note by composer

Written to be included as the third movement to the multi-composer suite honoring the retirement of composer Jack Stamp. Another take on Gavorkna Fanfare, the GF Redux pares down the musical elements present in many of Dr. Stamp’s compositions. Composer Timothy Mahr puts his own imprint on the compositional style of the dedicatee, Jack Stamp.
