Transformation Symphony

Chamber Orchestra Part

Beginning with a tympanic heartbeat underscoring dissonant tones played by different sections of the band, the opening refrains represent hotspots of global tension. The pressured low tones of the brass and dissonance help us to imagine the depths of pain experienced by people in turmoil, and the lighter flag waves of the woodwinds bespeak their dreams. Marching tones after that portray further conflict, yet we can hear towards the end the softening sounds of the continuing process of peace. As Jimi Hendrix so aptly put it; "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

Concert Band Part

This piece of music imitates the game of Tag as one section takes on the melodic 'It' and passes it along to another section. The musical game continues as different sections become It and pass the melody along. Ultimately the excitement of the game takes off again and closes the piece. The melodic line exposes the delight of the chase, and the classical elements of musical format can be clearly defined and taught in reference to the game.

Program Notes for the Transformation Symphony
Developed from a study of Sergei Prokofiev's Classical Symphony in D Major, Opus 25, the Transformation Symphony was written as a tribute to Prokofiev's style much as Prokofiev paid homage to the works of Joseph Haydn.
The Transformation Symphony consists of four contrasting movements which include Dream (Allegro), Sacrifice (Larghetto), Perseverance (Minuet and Trio) and Metamorphosis (Rondo.)
Each movement can be defined as a progression from a dream to the sacrifice that is needed to reach the dream to the perseverance needed to maintain the sacrifice to the metamorphosis that comes from having achieved the dream. The composer includes a linear progression in the four movements yet manages to also intertwine these elements in the last movement to indicate that the creative process can be both linear and interspersed.

The Transformation Symphonya consists  of four contrasting movements which include Dream (Allegro), Sacrifice  (Larghetto), Perseverance (Minuet and Trio) and Metamorphosis (Rondo.)                Listening to Dream with its lilting playfulness, one can imagine  Prokofiev's pen-tip notations for the woodwinds and listening to the doublet  notes in the strings calls to mind notes designed to mirror Prokofiev. The  composer includes a Mannheim rocket cadence paying homage to the times of  Haydn and used as a bridge. The movement is fresh and fanciful like any new  idea or any new day - a dream, if you will. And the absolute delight is the  exclamation point added at the end.

Monday, musical Monday. The weekend has ended, and as we get back to work or school, we never know  what lies ahead. We open our week, as the Petite Sinfonietta does, with casual social gatherings and  chatter about what happened over the weekend. Then we get to work, focused work. That is reflected in  the second movement. A lively work afternoon peppered with spirited social exchanges allow us to end  our work/school Monday on a high. That feeling is conveyed in the uplifting final movement.  Designed to enhance the listening skills of all members of the orchestra, the Petite Sinfonietta offers  musical directors opportunities to have sections of the orchestra pass along the themes. Students will  learn to listen for the themes while playing their accompaniment quietly. The music provides technical  challenges for all instruments and opportunities for all to shine.
