Program Notes
Composer Chen Yi is a professor at the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory of Music & Dance (abbreviated UMKC). She composed the UMKC Fanfare for the University of Missouri - Kansas City Conservatory Wind Symphony's performance at the 2009 College Band Directors National Association National Conference in Austin, Texas.
- Program Note by Dave Strickler
The pitch material is taken from a Chinese folk tune Baban, and the texture is taken from a kind of Chinese traditional instrumental ensemble music used in ritual ceremony, which feature blowing instruments suona (shawn, made with wood), and sheng (free-reed mouth organ, made with gourd). The music is slow to fast, and reaches an extremely fast section in the climax, followed by a strong and short coda in unison. The music presents the images of conflict, struggle, yearning, encouragement, and triumph. It's energetic and celebration.
