Program Notes
In Memoriam was commissioned by The Revelli Foundation in January 2002 following the death of Mr. L.J. Hancock, Director of Bands at Norwin High School, North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania (1976-2001) and a long-time friend and colleague of the Bands of America organization. Under Mr. Hancock’s leadership, the Norwin bands rose to national acclaim, winning the 1982 Bands of America Grand National Championship and receiving the Sousa Foundation’s Sudler Shield International Award for Musical Excellence. He was an integral part of the Bands of America organization for more than two decades. Serving many years as summer band camp director and as a member on BOA’s advisory boards, Hancock’s talent and enthusiasm influenced thousands of students, educators, and musicians.
Mark Camphouse has commented that he used the Communion hymn Salvation is Created by the Russian composer Pavel Tchesnokov (1877-1944) as the central theme of In Memoriam, when he learned that Hancock had a tradition of warming up his high school band on the field to that hymn.
