Program Notes
Il calore di tre risaie (2022) is translated from Italian to read “The warmth of three rice patties [sic: paddies].” Being inspired by Italian culture and music, Chang Su Koh writes with techniques typical of European classical music. He sequences ideas in modulating keys, clearly develops sections, and follows the statement-digression-return model so often found in music of that era. However, he pairs these classical structures with his unique contemporary style. Throughout his contrasting sections, Koh introduces three themes that are eventually layered together for a triumphant close to his newest work, Il calore di tre risaie.
- Program Note from University of North Texas Wind Symphony, 21 September 2023
Commissioned by Sanda Gakuen Band for their 50th Annual Concert.
The title, Il calore di tre risaie, means "heat of three rice fields" in Italian.
I was honored to receive this commission, and in return, I sought to aptly celebrate the Sanda Gakuen Band.
In fact, Mr. Takata, the director, was my senior at university, and we had frequent contact with each other both as students and after graduation. Whenever I see him, I sense his great enthusiasm; I know of no one like him. I used this title as a shout-out to a passionate director and his players. I ask your judgment whether this piece meets that demanding criteria [sic].
