Honoring

Veterans Day: Friday, November 11 is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I and was originally celebrated as Armistice Day. Raymond Weeks of Birmingham, Alabama, organized a Veterans Day parade for that city on November 11, 1947, to honor all of America’s veterans for their loyal service. Later, U.S. Representative Edward H. Rees of Kansas proposed legislation changing the name of the celebration to Veterans Day to honor all who have served in America’s Armed Forces. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day and called upon Americans everywhere to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace. The Gainesville Community Band performs this Veterans Day concert to honor all those who served honorably in the military—in wartime or peacetime.

James B. King

James B. King: This concert is named in honor of Captain James B. King, late member of the Gainesville Community Band. Captain King served as principal clarinet and assistant conductor of the United States Marine Band, “The President’s Own,” under the administrations of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. After retiring in 1980, he and his wife Joy joined the Gainesville Community Band. Captain King died in October 2006, and each year the band presents this concert in memory of a great musician who served his country and was an inspiration to all. As a further remembrance of Captain King, a clarinet will be presented in his name to an outstanding Alachua County middle school band student. Great Southern Music in the Oaks Mall Plaza, 6787 West Newberry Road, has graciously donated the memorial clarinet.

Come enjoy our Charles Dean Memorial Concert on Sunday, October 9, 4p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Gainesville.

For the twentieth year, GCB will award a trumpet to an outstanding Alachua County middle school student musician in memory of Dr. Charles Dean (1929-1992). Dr. Dean was a founding member, principal trumpet and president of the Gainesville Community Band. The trumpet, donated by Hoggtowne Music, 5200 NW 43rd Street, Suite 501, means that a middle school band student will learn and enjoy music on a quality instrument, making practice and performance a rewarding experience for years to come.

This concert will feature the GCB Brass Ensemble, the GCB Trumpet Section, the Charles Dean Trumpet Presentation, and as our special guest artist, Mark Coffey, organist. First Presbyterian Church is at 300 Southwest 2nd Avenue in Gainesville and has plenty of free parking. There is no charge for admission; this is a First Presbyterian “Concert for a Cause,” so a goodwill offering will be collected to benefit the Gainesville Community Ministry. As always, this Gainesville Community Band concert is family friendly.

2011-2012 Season

The Gainesville Community Band, official band of the City of Gainesville, invites you to its 37th annual Mothers Day Concert, Sunday, May 8 at 2 p.m. Treat yourself and mother to an extra special event, a concert by a first-class musical organization.

We dedicate this concert to mothers everywhere, and we look forward to welcoming all mothers who attend as our special guests. There is no charge for admission.
Our setting will be Trinity United Methodist Church, 4000 NW 53rd Avenue in Gainesville. This is a great venue for playing (and listening to!) a concert. The acoustics are wonderful, and there is ample seating and parking.
Dr. Gerald Poe, music director for the Gainesville Community Band, has put together an exciting program, including solo performances by GCB trombonist Nicholas Simpson and percussionist Nathan Bisco. The list of compositions scheduled for the concert includes the following:

The Program

Combination March, by Scott Joplin; arr. Gunther Schuller.
Gunther Schuller’s writing, compositions, and performances as a horn player and conductor in the field of jazz are widely known. In 1972, he presented the New England Conservatory Ragtime Ensemble at a Festival of American Music premiering his arrangements of works by Scott Joplin (1867-1917). They were subsequently recorded by the same group, receiving a Grammy Award in 1973, and have been credited with sparking the popular ragtime revival that followed. Schuller created the band arrangement of Combination March from Joplin’s original work.

The Soldier’s Song, by John S. Kitts-Turner.
Originally written for symphony orchestra, the composer rearranged this work for performance by symphonic band, and it is premiered in this concert by the Gainesville Community Band. John S. Kitts-Turner is UF Professor of Music Emeritus and GCB’s principal bassoonist.

Pavane, by Maurice Ravel; arr. Toshio Mashima.
Originally, the pavane was a slow decorous and processional dance common in Europe during the 16th century. This version, however, represents a completely different approach. Toshio Mashima has taken Ravel’s (1875-1937) plaintiff Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) and framed it as an upbeat trombone solo. Nicholas Simpson, GCB’s principal trombonist, does the honors.

Resplendent Glory, by Rossano Galante.
Rossano Galante lives in California where he composes and arranges for motion pictures. He has also written music under commission for various performing groups around the country. Resplendent Glory is a 2005 composition commissioned by and dedicated to the Hofstra University Symphonic Band.

Marche Des Parachutistes Belges, by Pierre Leemans, arr. Charles Wiley.
Near the end of World War II, Belgian Pierre Leemans (1897-1980) was having dinner with a group of his country’s paratroopers and was asked to compose a march. As the group commander drove him home that night, the theme of a march he had started but never finished back in 1918 came to his mind. After reaching home, he wrote out all of the parts for the official “March of the Belgian Paratroopers.” This arrangement was made by Charles Wiley at the request of his Lamar (Texas) University Band students for the first U.S. performance of the march.

Moto Perpetuo, by Nicolò Paganini, arr. David Smith.
One definition of the musical form “perpetuum mobile” is “music . . . characterized by a continuous steady stream of notes, usually at a rapid tempo.” That is certainly the case with Paganini’s (1782-1840) Moto perpetuo Op. 11 (N° 6) for violin. And that is most certainly the case with David Smith’s arrangement for marimba with band accompaniment. Our soloist is GCB percussionist Nathan Bisco, Santa Fe High School’s band and choir director.

Danza Final, by Alberto Ginastera, arr. David John.
Argentine Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) is considered one of the most important Latin American classical composers. In 1941, the American Ballet Caravan commissioned Ginastera to compose the ballet, Estancia. Ginastera compiled a four-movement suite from it, which soon became well known as an orchestra piece. Estancia is the Argentinean word for “ranch,” and the work reflects many aspects of Argentine ranch life. “Final Dance ‘Malambo’” is the last of the Estancia suite’s four ballet scenes. A malambo is a lively, exciting, and often lengthy dance tournament between two gauchos (South American cowboys).

“The Merry Widow”: Selections, by Franz Lehar, arr. Eiji Suzuki.
Lehar’s (1870-1948) operetta The Merry Widow (German: Die lustige Witwe), set in Paris, focuses on a rich widow and her Pontevedrian countrymen’s attempt to keep her money in their principality by finding her the right husband. The operetta has enjoyed extraordinary international success since its 1905 premiere in Vienna and continues to be frequently revived. Eiji Suzuki has actively written for winds since attending secondary school. His original works, arrangements and transcriptions are popular and frequently performed.

Galop “Fire Jump,” by Merle Evans.
For 50 years Evans (1892-1988), the ”Toscanini of the Big Top,” thrilled crowds as he led the blaring band of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. He wrote this composition in 1936 for the famous equestrienne Dorothy Herbert who concluded her act by riding high jumping horses over flaming hurdles. The galop, short for galoppade, is a lively French country dance of the 1820s named after the fastest running gait of a horse. Ordinarily in a fast 2/4 time, the galop is a forerunner of the polka.

The Musicians

Nicholas Simpson, inspired by his parents, began playing trombone at age 11 and has had a life-long interest in music. Throughout his high school and collegiate years, he was a member of the American Federation of Musicians and performed with a number of concert, swing and jazz bands in the Flint and Detroit, Michigan areas. He studied at the University of Michigan, Wayne State University, and Emory University. After a near decade hiatus from playing and performing, he joined the Gainesville Community Band in 2009 and is a member of the Gainesville Community Jazz Band. In his professional life, Nick is Dr. Nicholas E. Simpson, Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Florida. He resides in Alachua with his wife and two daughters.

Nathan Bisco

Nathan Bisco began music studies in Buffalo, New York, where he was principal percussionist of the All-New York State Wind Ensemble and the Greater Buffalo Youth Orchestra. He graduated cum laude from the University of Miami Honors Program with a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education, taught four years at a Miami-Dade middle school (where he was nominated Rookie Teacher of the Year), then began master’s degree study at the University of Florida. While at Florida, he served as principal percussionist of the Wind Symphony and studied orchestral conducting with Raymond Chobaz. Nathan is currently Santa Fe High School’s director of bands and choir. He was nominated SFHS’s 2011 Teacher of the Year and has helped lead the Raider Regiment marching band to its 7th and 8th state championships. An active performer, he has played with the Alhambra and Ocala Symphony Orchestras.

Concert Program

• On Florida Shores March, by C.E. Duble; arr. Andy Isca
  Charles Edward Duble (1884-1960) played trombone in, and composed music for, circus bands. He composed this march in 1926.
• Three International Carols, arr. John S. Kitts-Turner, featuring Karen Adair, Soprano
  The three carols are Germany’s “O Tannenbaum,” England’s “The Holly and the Ivy” and France’s “Noel Nouvelet.”
• Christmas Swing, arr. Dizzy Stratford
  This arrangement is based on the carol, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” “Dizzy Stratford” is the pseudonym of popular Dutch-born composer Jacob de Haan.
• The Christmas Song, Mel Tormé and Robert Wells, arranged by Jerry Nowak, featuring Gary Langford, Trumpet
  In July 1945 Mel Tormé (1925-1999) drove to the California home of his lyricist and collaborator Robert Wells. He found lyrics lying on the piano. Wells explained, “It was so . . . hot today, I thought I’d write something to cool myself off. All I could think of was Christmas and cold weather.” Tormé replied, “You know, this just might make a song. The Christmas Song was written in about 45 minutes later that day. Tormé quickly showed the song to his friend Nat Cole, whose 1946 hit recording is now a beloved holiday classic. .”
• The Dreydl Song, arr. John S. Kitts-Turner, featuring Karen Adair, Narrator and Soprano
  This arrangement is based on the traditional Hanukah song, “I have A Little Dreydl.” A dreydl (also spelled dreidel) is a four-sided spinning top with a Hebrew letter on each side. It is used during Hanukkah to play a popular children’s game that involves spinning the dreidel and betting on which Hebrew letter will be showing when the dreidel stops spinning.
• Christmas Recollections, arr. John Edmondson
  John Edmondson earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida in 1955, served two years in Army bands, then received the Master of Music degree from the University of Kentucky in 1960. Christmas Recollections is a medley that includes “Frosty The Snowman,” “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” “Here Comes Santa Claus” and “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.”
• Playful Variations on Good King Wenceslas, by John S. Kitts-Turner
  John S. Kitts-Turner, who wrote or arranged four of the numbers on this program, is professor emeritus of music, having taught bassoon and Music History at the University of Florida for 34 years. He is still very active in music, and among other interests, serves as the Gainesville Community Band’s principal bassoonist.
• Holiday Carol Sing Along, arr. by John S. Kitts-Turner
  A medley consisting of “Lo, How a Rose e’er Blooming,” “Oh Christmas Tree,” Oh Come all ye Faithful,” “God Rest ye Merry, Gentlemen,” “What Child Is This?” and “Joy to the World.”
• ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, by Newell H. Long, featuring Gary Langford, Narrator
  Who wrote “A Visit From St. Nicholas” (more popularly known as “Twas the Night Before Christmas”)? First printed in an 1823 Troy, New York, newspaper, it was credited to “anonymous.” But in 1844, Clement C. Moore acknowledged that he had written the work. Or did he? There are those who now believe the popular poem was, in reality, written long before 1844, by Henry Livingston, a poet of Dutch ancestry who lived in upstate New York. No matter who the author, it is still a Christmas perennial, especially in this musical setting by Newell H. Long, and especially with Gainesville’s favorite trumpet player, Gary Langford, narrating it!
• A Christmas Festival, by Leroy Anderson
  Who doesn’t love the music of Leroy Anderson (1908-1975)? Anderson, one of the most successful composers of semi classical music in the 20th Century, also achieved popular success; his Blue Tango, for example, made #1 on the 1952 Hit Parade. That same year Anderson wrote this medley, which consists of “Joy to the World,” “Deck the Halls,” “God Rest ye Merry, Gentlemen,” Good King Wenceslas,” “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” “Jingle Bells” and “O Come All Ye Faithful.”
• Sleigh Ride, by Leroy Anderson
  Like Tomé’s, “The Christmas Song,” this cold-weather piece was written in hot weather. Shortly after his service in World War II and being released from active duty, Anderson and his family spent the summer at Painter Hill in Woodbury, Connecticut. It was here in Woodbury, during a heat wave, that he wrote of one of his most continually popular compositions, Sleigh Ride.

Honoring

Veterans Day: Thursday, November 11 is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I and was originally celebrated as Armistice Day. Raymond Weeks of Birmingham, Alabama, organized a Veterans Day parade for that city on November 11, 1947, to honor all of America’s veterans for their loyal service. Later, U.S. Representative Edward H. Rees of Kansas proposed legislation changing the name of the celebration to Veterans Day to honor all who have served in America’s Armed Forces. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veterans Day and called upon Americans everywhere to rededicate themselves to the cause of peace. The Gainesville Community Band performs this Veterans Day concert to honor all those who served honorably in the military—in wartime or peacetime.

James B King

James B. King: This concert is named in honor of Captain James B. King, late member of the Gainesville Community Band. Captain King served as principal clarinet and assistant conductor of the United States Marine Band, “The President’s Own,” under the administrations of Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. After retiring in 1980, he and his wife Joy joined the Gainesville Community Band. Captain King died in October 2006, and each year the band presents this concert in memory of a great musician who served his country and was an inspiration to all. As a further remembrance of Captain King, a clarinet will be presented in his name to an outstanding Alachua County middle school band student. Great Southern Music in the Oaks Mall Plaza, 6787 West Newberry Road, has graciously donated the memorial clarinet.

Featuring:

Dr. John R. Grigsby, professor emeritus at the University of Florida, taught choral conducting and choral literature and, as UF’s Director of Choral Activities, was responsible for the University Choir, Chamber Singers, Men’s Glee Club and Women’s Chorale. He also served as Acting Director of the School of Music and Assistant Director of the School of Music. Dr. Grigsby studied at Ohio State University, Union Theological Seminary School of Sacred Music and Columbia University.

During retirement Dr. Grigsby and his wife, Gretchen, who taught elementary music at Stephen Foster and Norton, have been active in various volunteer pursuits including The Salvation Army, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Friends Across the Ages, and Holy Trinity Church.

Bess De Farber

Bess de Farber, clarinetist with the Gainesville Community Band, studied performance at the University of Southern California, where she was named the most outstanding clarinet graduate. She has performed extensively throughout Florida, both in person and on television. In 1996 she was commissioned to create Composing A Heart, a multimedia piece tracing her parents’ emigration to the U.S. This work has been performed on NPR and at such South Florida venues as the Caldwell Theatre, and the Jewish Museum of Florida. Ms. de Farber has also served on grant review panels for the Florida Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts and, for ten years, played bagpipe in the City of Dunedin Pipe Band.

Terry Moo

Terry Moo, trumpet player par excellence, has called the Gainesville area “home” since 1970. He has long been a friend to music and music educators and frequently appears in concert with various area bands. After thirty years in retail music service he sold his company and began his other passion, multimedia production. He usually has either a horn or a camera in his hands, or most likely a set of headphones on his head. He has recorded every middle and high school band in the area and makes concert videos when called. Because he does audio recording and video production (with concert quality sound) he has appropriately named his new company Soundview Multimedia. He is also active as a private trumpet tutor and helps his wife Anna with her shows on the children’s stage.

Dr. Gerald Poe is music director of the Gainesville Community Band. He earned his B.A. degree from Western State College in Colorado, M.M. Ed. from Florida State University and D.M.A. from the University of Colorado. Much in demand as clinician, conductor and performer, Dr. Poe is listed in Who’s Who in American Music, Who’s Who in American Universities and most recently in the 2004 edition of Marquis’s Who’s Who in America. Dr. Poe is active in Florida Music Educators, Music Educators National Conference, Florida Bandmasters Association, and the Association of Concert Bands.

The Gainesville Community Band, the premier adult concert band of North Central Florida, was founded in 1974. Four years later, the Gainesville City Commission passed a resolution designating the GCB as the Official Community Band of Gainesville. Eighty-some members from all walks of life currently play in the band, and its concerts have always been family-friendly with free admission.

The Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts is located at 315 Hull Road on the University of Florida campus, with plenty of free parking.

Gainesville Community Band concerts are family friendly, and most are free. Unlike school groups, the Gainesville Community Band has no booster organization or “band parents group” to raise funds and underwrite activities. Band members buy their own uniforms. They pay annual band membership dues. Most play personal instruments in rehearsals and concerts. Many donate money over and above dues to keep the band going. Yet, costs of music arrangements, playing venues and other expenses continue to rise. After every concert, pleased audience members ask how to contribute, how to help sustain the band and its active playing schedule. The Gainesville Community Band is an IRS Sec. 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit Charitable Organization, and all contributions are gratefully accepted. They are tax deductible, and they support North Florida’s premiere adult concert band. Send your check to Gainesville Community Band, PMB 183, P.O. Box 147050, Gainesville, FL 32614-7050. At contributions of $25 or more, please specify whether the band may list your name as a Patron in its concert program. For further information, see the GCB web site (www.gnvband.org) or contact the music director via email or at 352-472-7224.
