Concert Band Additional Score

Since relocating to Southern Chile in 2016, composer Edgar Girtain has been immersed in the music of his
adopted home, frequently performing with folk musicians in rural areas through the Los Lagos region. "Two
Andean Airs" draws on a folkmusic style native to northern Chile (cultures of the Andean Plateau). The first
piece was drawn from the third of composer's well-known Trios for Flute, Violin and Cello, while the
second comes from a suite of "Huaynos" composed and arranged for a latin-american orchestra of students
that the composer co-directs in Puerto Montt. Both are "outdoor" style pieces, typical of what might be
heard performed by brass or pan-flute bands at religious festivals in the deserts of northern Chile

Program Notes
As part of an ongoing artistic collaboration between the conductor Hingrid Kujawinski and composer Edgar Girtain, Every Day isThanksgiving is a choral adaptation of a quotation by Gladys Widdis, elder of theWampanoag Native American tribe. As the Wampanoag are reputed to have been the tribe present at the first thanksgiving feast, Widdis's thoughts on the holiday are particularly apt. Her words of wisdom are worthy of meditation by all people:

"Every day [is] a day of thanksgiving to the Wampanoag...[We] give thanks for the dawn of the
new day, at the end of the day, to the sun, to the moon, for rain for helping crops grow...There [is]
always something to be thanksful for...Giving thanks comes naturally for the Wampanoag..."
