Description:
Stylistically diverse - tranquil, spirited pastoral, sensitive, energetic - exhibiting a remarkable palette, the five movements of SINFONIA IX form a unique symphonic statement.
Movement I, 'Prelude', is about contrasts: A lazy, smooth, motive in brasses alternates with, and then joins, an active and detached motive in woodwinds. The spirited Movement II, 'Morley's Ghost,' is an intricate canonic collage and homage to that venerable theoretician & composer, Thomas Morley. By contrast, movement III, 'Dialog,' speaks in a relaxed, lyrical, and pastoral language as it develops its gently rising and falling motives. Movement IV, 'Waltz,' innocently celebrates the joys of childhood with a lilting melody and rondo form. For the rousing 'Finale,' Movement V begins with a martial call of repeated-notes, heralding a headstrong journey of power and excitement.
Like a number of the composer's other works, SINFONIA IX is based on earlier material: A brass sextet, written in 1966 when the composer was nineteen years old, forms the raw material for the first, third and fifth movements, while a later work, 'Martin's Waltz' (a children's piece for flutes and clarinets composed in 1975) is the basis of the fourth movement. The second movement, however, is a fanciful contrapuntal commentary on Thomas Morley's 16th-century canzonet, 'Fire and Lightning.'
SINFONIA IX is dedicated to John Raforth, a distinguished band director and music educator at West High School in Madison, Wisconsin. The work was commissioned by his friends and former students, and was completed in 1977. Its first publication some twenty years later is a result of the increasing attention paid by university band directors to the earlier 'Sinfonias', particularly Sinfonia III '(Hymns and Dances);' Sinfonia V '(Sinfonia Sacra et Profana); 'and now, Sinfonia IX. Whereas the first two works are wind ensemble compositions that have been championed equally by the concert band, Sinfonia IX is the composer's first 'college-level' 'Sinfonia' written especially for concert band.
