Program Notes

All Pleasant Things... is a piece commissioned by the Northshore Concert Band, Inc., to commemorate the retirement of Ms. Barbara Buehlman, loyal member and tireless servant in the world of music. Mrs. Buehlman (1936-1997) was perhaps best well known for her transcription for concert band of Brahms's Blessed Are They from his German Requiem. She was a leader in her field as one of the first female band directors in the Chicago area who was quite successful. Besides her work as a music teacher, Mrs. Buehlman was very active with the International Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic, eventually becoming the executive director of the convention, the largest of its kind in the world.
