Program Notes

Slava! A Celebration for Band is a condensed musical portrait of the historical life of the Czech nation from the 12th century to the present day - 8 centuries in 7 minutes! Its slavic name means 'glory' echoing resounding praise. Slava! is a single movement composition with three distinct sections: Callings, Contemplation, and Celebration. The work utilizes the first tetrachord of the C Major scale used in the 12th Century Bohemian chant, Svaty Vaclave (St. Wenceslaus) and the first four notes of the 15th century Hussite Chorale, Ye Warriors of God. Quartal and polytonal harmonies are also employed.
