Solano Winds History n December 9, 1995, a new community band took the stage in the auditorium at Will C. Wood High School in Vacaville. Comprised of 55 volunteer musicians under the direction of Robert O. Briggs, Solano Winds performed a program of eight classic selections from the Wind Band repertoire before a very receptive audience. Briggs, the just-retired Director Emeritus of the University of California Band in Berkeley, formed the ensemble along with Bill Doherty, the first President of the organization. It was apparent to everyone in the room that this new performing group was here to stay. Now in our 20th Season, Solano Winds continues to provide band members and audiences an opportunity to enjoy music making. Over the years, many things have changed: we’ve moved rehearsal spaces from Fairfield High School, to Armijo High School, to Solano Community College, to our current location at Vanden High School. Rather than using all borrowed music as we did in 1995, we now maintain our own extensive music library. And to support our growth, our donor base has grown significantly since 1995, when we started with two important donors – Gordon’s Music & Sound and the Fairfield High School Scarlet Brigade Band Boosters. During this time, though, many more things have stayed the same. Our commitment to perform high quality Wind Band literature well and to have fun while doing it has been a consistent staple of our organization. While some members have come and gone over the years, we continue to maintain a healthy blend of experienced and young musicians. Upon the passing of Bob Briggs in 2008, Bill Doherty was named as Music Director, continuing the traditions started when the band formed in 1995. Since that premiere performance at Will C. Wood High School, we’ve performed at the Fairfield Community Center, the Vacaville Performing Arts Theatre, the Lesher Center for the Arts, and the Napa Valley College Performing Arts Center. In our second season, we performed as a part of the Carmichael Park Community Band Festival, and have performed in that Festival every year since that appearance. Also in that second season, we embarked on what has become a tremendous relationship with the residents at Paradise Valley Estates, where we now perform four times each season. In 2013, we were honored with an invitation to perform at the Association of Concert Bands’ National Convention. Through all of this, our performance home has been the intimate space on Texas Street, formerly the Fairfield Center for Creative Arts, now the Downtown Theatre, of which Solano Winds is a resident company. Like any successful performing organization, we can credit our longevity to three factors: the care that our musicians place on mastering their musical performance, the appreciation consistently shown by our audiences, and the relationships that we’ve been able to build with each other over these first twenty seasons.

Bill Doherty – Music Director n 1994, as Bob Briggs was beginning his last year before retirement as Director of the University of California Band, Bill Doherty suggested to him that they start a community band in Fairfield. A year later, that vision became a reality as Bob founded Solano Winds. Bill served as the first President of the group and helped to formalize the behind-the-scenes workings of the band while playing principal trumpet. Upon the passing of Robert O. Briggs in September 2008, Bill was named

Music Director of Solano Winds. Bill played in the Cal Band under Bob’s leadership while earning his Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of California at Berkeley. He taught band for eleven years, including a three-year stay at Vanden High School, before adding mathematics to his teaching credential. In addition to his high school bands, Bill conducted the Berkeley Symphonic Band from 1985 to 1989. Currently, he teaches mathematics and assists teachers in their use of instructional technology at Campolindo High School in Moraga. He lives in Fairfield with his wife, Jennifer, who teaches music in Fairfield and plays percussion in Solano Winds. Bill and Jennifer are very proud of their three talented children: Melissa, a University of Oregon graduate, now teaching dance in Redding, CA; Kevin, a 2014 graduate of the Ray Bolger Musical Theatre Program at UCLA, currently working as a actor in Southern California; and Emily, a Solano Winds alumnus who is now pursuing a degree in Music Education at Michigan State University.

Welcome olano Winds continues its 20th Season with “Now & Then”, a celebration of the vast musical heritage we have inherited over the ages and continue to develop to this day. To that end, we are delighted to present not one, but two World Premieres as a part of this program! China Moon is a new composition written for us by Solano Winds Euphonium player Delbert Bump. Mr. Bump is very active in the jazz community as a performer, composer and teacher. China Moon embodies our “Now & Then” theme as an evocative new piece that celebrates one of the oldest cultures on our planet. Composer Melvin Brito, an Alto Saxophonist in Solano Winds, brings us a charming new holiday piece, “Winter Memoirs”. I’m sure that our audience will delight in watching the composer conduct the premiere of this delightful welcome to the holiday season!

Canzona Guiseppe Verdi’s opera La Forza del Destino (The Force of Destiny) opened Canzona is a short, brisk work, which opens with a declamatory idea expressed in massed sonorities. Next, a broad melodic line is introduced and supported by powerful rhythmic figurations. This is followed by a cantabile section. These materials are developed and expanded, and the piece closes with the opening statements brought back in a more dramatic presentation.

Fantasia in G Major The great G Major Fantasia for organ was composed between 1703 and 1707 during Bach’s residence in Arnstadt. It was here, at the beginning of his career, that his music was found by the Consistory to be full of “wonderful variations and foreign tones”; and certainly the Fantasia is strikingly dissonant in its constant texture of suspensions. But the breadth of the five-part polyphonic writing and the richness of the harmonic sonority make the Fantasia one of the grandest of all Bach’s compositions for organ. It is also one that lends itself most perfectly to the sound and sonorities of the modern wind band. The transcription by Richard Franko Goldman and Robert L. Leist was undertaken as a memorial to Edwin Franko Goldman, who was the first bandmaster to include the works of Bach regularly in the band’s concert repertoire, and who did so much to introduce the music of this great master to wide popular audiences. In the transcription an attempt is made to recapture the sound of the Baroque organ through the medium of the modern band. The first performance of the transcription was given by The Goldman Band, Richard Franko Goldman conducting, on July 1, 1957.

China Moon People often ask me how or where I get the ideas and titles for my compositions. This particular title comes from the name of a Chinese restaurant located in Marysville, California. I was born in Oroville, and as a child, became very familiar with the small towns in my area. Later in life, my mother and I would stop for lunch at this establishment on our many trips to and from the Bay Area. The name of this restaurant instantly registered in my head and has now become the title of this recent work. As a child growing up in northern California, I was very aware of the Chinese culture that had made a strong impression in these locales. The remaining elements and effects of this cultural influence are present to this very day in a number of small communities. The creation of these cultural values dates back prior to the great Gold Rush. The influence of the Asian contribution is everywhere in this region, and apparent in many places today. As a result of this cultural effect through art, food, spiritual connections, philosophy, and music, my fondness for the Asian mind has only grown through the years. I think the Concert Band is a wonderful musical medium to express the colors and the profound beauty that is China. Arguably the greatest civilization on earth, it is this culture that stirs the creative forces involved in this composition. It is said that Japan is the land of the rising Sun, and so should it be that China is the land of the rising Moon. As this piece unfolds, it represents the reflections of the moon on the great landscapes of China. The moon, as it casts its shadows on the face of the earth, lights the great valleys, rivers, deserts, seas, and the highest mountains in the world for only moments, as it repeats the age-old cycle. This work also demonstrates the musical ideas that are also a part of this vivid culture. Therefore, it is these lunar reflections that are expressed musically in this Through Composed work. If you close your eyes, you’ll hear the images as the players encounter the various musical textures, weaving a tapestry of visions in sound. It is this China Moon that makes this possible. The materials of the piece involve the use of pentatonic scales and the interval of the perfect fifth, with a considerable amount of parallel motion. The orchestration is indicative of the musical sounds of this culture. The percussion section is represented with the use of bells, gong, and mallet instruments. These sounds are an important part of ceremony in this culture. These particular aspects involved in the construction of this work are not generally found in Western Classical styles. The consistency of the ideas reminds me of the strength that is apparent in the Chinese culture. To the Western ear, this

may be a challenge, but in fact these ideas and concepts represent the great power and inner strength that is the heart and soul of the Asian mind. As a composer, it is my hope to have produced a work that is representative of these values. Only in my imagination can I realize the reflections of this China Moon as it makes its way across the great landscapes of this vast country. The Concert Band is a musical vehicle that is particularly suited to produce the orchestral qualities necessary to complete the journey of this fantastic moonlight adventure. As the China Moon unfolds, make certain you listen closely. You might hear a reflection or two as this musical moonlight makes its way into your own mind. Music has again allowed us to cross so many barriers and, although imperfect at times, our lives are better when we can express our respect and love for others through the creation of sound as our source of energy and inspiration. Enjoy the adventure of the China Moon and perhaps its light will shine for you. Many thanks to all that have made this original work a reality. Musically yours, ~Delbert Bump

October October is my favorite month. Something about the crisp autumn air and the subtle change in light always make me a little sentimental, and as I started to sketch I felt that same quiet beauty in the writing. The simple, pastoral melodies and subsequent harmonies are inspired by the great English Romantics (Vaughn Williams, Elgar) as I felt that this style was also perfectly suited to capture the natural and pastoral soul of the season. I’m quite happy with the end result, especially because I feel there just isn’t enough lush, beautiful music written for winds. October was premiered on May 14th, 2000, and is dedicated to Brian Anderson, the man who brought it all together. ~Eric Whitacre

Mancini! Growing up in a steel town near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Henry Mancini (born Enrico Nicola Mancini) and his father played flute in an Italian immigrant band, “Sons of Italy”. He later studied for a year at the Julliard School of Music before being drafted into the United States Army during World War II. After the war ended, he joined the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra as a performer and arranger. In 1952, Mancini went to work for the Universal Pictures music department, where he contributed to over 100 films over a six year period. In 1958, he left Universal to work independently. He soon began work scoring the TV series Peter Gunn with writer/producer Blake Edwards. Over the next 35 years, he collaborated with Edwards on 30 films. Meanwhile, he continued to work on several TV series. In 1984 alone, four network programs used themes composed by Mancini. He also composed dozens of easy listening hits recorded by scores of artists from the 1960s through the 1980s. Mancini himself recorded over 90 albums of his popular music. Mancini! is a medley of music representative of all of his endeavors. It includes The Pink Panther, Moon River, Baby Elephant Walk, Dreamsville, and Peter Gunn.

Leichtes Blut Galop Johann Strauss II (1825-1899) composed over 400 waltzes, polkas, and other types of dance music, as well as several operettas and a ballet. In his lifetime, he was known as “The Waltz King”, and was largely responsible for the popularity of the waltz in Vienna during the 19th century. “Leichtes Blut” translates as “Light of Heart”. The Leichtes Blut Galop was first performed at a benefit concert at the Vienna Volksgarten in March 1867.

Winter Memoirs What comes to mind when we hear, “winter is coming”? Is it the chill in the air? Perhaps it’s the first sign of snow or rain. Winter to some evokes memories of joy, family gatherings, holiday festivities, cozy and warm fireplaces and the fun of skiing and snowball fights. To others, it brings feelings of sadness, loneliness, and want. It is my hope that this piece captures all of those moments as you listen to the premiere of Winter Memoirs. The piece opens with sporadic passages from a few instruments establishing the first sign of winter as the air is filled with the smell of pine, wood smoke and snowflakes fall from the sky. A variation of the ostinato figure from “Carol of The Bells” sets the mood for a night of fun filled evening. The winter and holiday gathering is on its way as the piece draws us in with the arrival of guests, lively and chaotic kitchen, to the room where some are enjoying a night of dancing to the Waltz and fellowship of the season. As the festivities continue out in the cold, many pass by the fun and excitement. Some know that there will be no holiday parties for them. An Oboe solo introduces the lyrical section with feelings of loneliness, despair and even rejection as a faint, yet reminiscent of the Waltz is played by the piano. The lyrical section is fully developed with various reflections of all the emotions that could be conveyed for those that find winter less joyful. The Clarinet and Alto Sax closes their musical dialogue like a couple saying goodbye to one another. Though the closure occurs, a sense of hope is projected by the brass; letting us know that the winter season promises a cathartic experience for even the less fortunate, alone, as well as grieving and brokenhearted. A recap of the waltz evokes the joys and fun of winter as snowball fights, sledding, skiing and sitting in front of a warm fire closes the piece that is Winter Memoirs.

And the Mountains Echoed: Gloria! This musical work is inspired by the Biblical narrative of the appearance of the angels to the shepherds in the field, telling them of the birth of Jesus and praising God saying “Gloria in excelsis Deo!” The opening section is a brilliant fanfare in which trumpets and trombones are echoed by the horns and saxophones on the “Gloria” motif. In the second section, the French Christmas carol Angels We Have Heard On High is quoted, interspersed with fragments from the opening section. The opening material returns in a short fugue followed by a reprise of the carol, this time “con tutta forza”, over an ostinato taken from the opening fanfare. A brief restatement of the fanfare closes the piece with a flourish.

The Eighth Candle – Prayer and Dance for Hannukah Steve Reisteter’s composition combines a simple contemplative opening “prayer” section with an excited multi-metered folk dance, evocative of the Hopak, a Ukrainian folk dance. Starting from a calm and quiet motif, the piece undergoes a natural evolution to a driving, exciting finish.

Holiday Portraits Holiday Portraits is a contemporary arrangement of classic Christmas carols. With this setting, I imagined several carols weaving in and out of each other to create a fantasy of sounds and melodies. Throughout this journey, I sprinkle in treatments of these carols in the style of some of my most beloved classical composers. Try to spot the tributes to Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bartók and even Bernstein along the way. The bright and flashy opening is a collection of phrases from O Christmas Tree and O Come All Ye Faithful. Splashes of woodwind and brass colors build up to a treatment of Angels We Have Heard On High in 7/8 time. A jovial setting of Deck the Halls follows with a featured duet of piccolo and tuba. After some whirlish woodwinds, the music moves towards a rhythmic setting of Good King Wenceslas. A small dose of Joy to the World transitions the piece into a heroic setting of O Come All Ye Faithful to bring the piece full circle. The joyous opening material returns as a natural ending to a fantastic holiday journey.~Sean O’Loughin
