Program Notes
Although the concert band owes its origins to the performance of marches, today, after over one hundred years of repertoire to study from, I found myself asking what exactly makes a march a march. Composers these days freely cross boundaries without apology, as they should -- after all, art and music must move forward. So, after reviewing typical characteristics of traditional marches, with their trios, break strains, lively snare and bass drum parts and many melodies, I decided to let myself write uninhibited by past formula, but with a clear homage to the genre of march.
March of the Shadows is my resulting creation for young band, whose title refers to the idea of following (as in my case, following the many composers of march who have come before me). Specifically, the work “borrows” the melody from Hale Vandercook’s Centaurus, used by permission of Hal Leonard. Finally, the title is also fitting as it refers to the overall dark, minor mood of the work.
