Program Notes
Serenade (2008) was written just after the composer's Hold This Boy and Listen and shares similar qualities as alluded to in the notes which accompany the score. It is is dedicated to Allan McMurray and was commissioned by Jerry Junkin (University of Texas), Timothy Rhea (Texas A&M University), Eric Rombach-Kendall (University of New Mexico), and Kevin Sedatole (Michigan State University).
- Program Note from score
Pann writes the following regarding Serenade for Winds:
My Serenade for Winds is an exploration in the kind of melodic writing usually equated with Schumann or Brahms. Nearly every gesture in this work was placed with the hope that the performers who play them would attain their highest echelon of musical expression. I had very recently written a soft, subdued work called Hold This Boy and Listen (2008) for winds. That work represented a departure from the fast and brilliantly technical works I had written for bands in the past ... but I wanted to be under the spell of the molto espressivo for more than one wind piece. Hence this work is a grand expression of harmony and melody (quite equally so) for wind symphony.
