Quad City Wind Ensemble 2016 Fall Concert

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

It is with great pleasure that I announce the first concert of the Quad City Wind Ensemble's 2016-17 season. While we have a great line-up all year long, this program will define the virtuosity of our outstanding ensemble. The program includes:

• Clifton Williams: Caccia and Chorale (1976). This, the final composition of one of the "greatest generation" of wind band composers, expresses Williams's the angst of Williams's final days as well as hope in the life afterward. It is, by far, his finest composition.

• Gigantic March, by Julius Fucik (d. 1916). This great march deserves much more praise. It has all the hallmarks of the Czech composer's national style while offering several harmonic twists and turns: a refreshing change from his better-known works like The Florentiner and Entry of the Gladiators.

• When asked why he would write a Symphony for Band, Vittorio Giannini's (d. 1966) response was basically, "Because I wanted to." And we are very fortunate indeed.

• This year celebrates the centennial of Argentinian great Alberto Ginastera. While wind bands have forever played the "Danza Final" from Estancia, we've discovered an even more exciting work, rife with the composer's rhythmic intensity and local color. "Impetuosamente" is the middle movement from one of Ginastera's suites defining his homeland and the region of the Pampas.

• One would not consider a program complete without the music of John Philip Sousa.Willow Blossoms (1916) is not a march, rather a delightful piece that will recall summer concerts at the gazebo.

• Vincent Persichetti wrote a large number of works called "choral preludes" and we offer his 1966 work, Turn Not Thy Face. Commissioned by the great Ithaca High School band, it is dedicated to the memory of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. This is emotional music. Whether remembering that fateful day in 1963 or not, it is impossible not to be moved.

• Variations on a Korean Folk Song, another work from 1966, is from the pen of John Barnes Chance, another composer who was taken too soon. Based on the traditional melody Arirang, This remains a hallmark of the modern band repertoire.

We sincerely hope that you can join us.

WHEN? Sunday, October 23

TIME? 3:00 PM

WHERE? Galvin Fine Arts Center, Allaert Auditorium, St. Ambrose University, 518 West Locust Street, Davenport, IA 52803

CHARLIE KING BIOGRAPHY

Charlie King is a musical storyteller and political satirist.  His repertoire covers a century and a half and four continents.   He sings and writes passionately about the extraordinary lives of ordinary people.

Charlie has been at the heart of American folk music for half a century and has been writing songs for the past 40 years.  In recognition of those milestones he released, in the Fall of 2013, a retrospective album, SO FAR, SO GOOD - 40 Songs For 40 Years.  Honors include: an "Indie" award for one of the top three folk recordings of 1984; the War Resisters League’s 1998 Peacemaker Award given to Charlie and Odetta; the 1999 Sacco-Vanzetti Social Justice Award for which he was nominated by Pete Seeger; the 2009 International Labor Communications Association award for Best Labor History Story; and the 2014 Joe Hill Award from the Labor Heritage foundation, a Lifetime Award for excellence in the field of labor culture.  His songs have been recorded and sung by other performers such as Pete Seeger, Holly Near, Ronnie Gilbert, John McCutcheon, Arlo Guthrie, Peggy Seeger, Chad Mitchell and Judy Small.  

Charlie has recorded a dozen solo albums since 1976, as well as three albums with the touring ensemble Bright Morning Star, and numerous compilation albums with other artists.  From 2001 to 2014 he recorded with his partner, Karen Brandow.  Titles include: THE DISTANCE REMAINING; HIGHER GROUND; ON THE JOURNEY; SPARKS & TEARS; PUPPET TOWN; BRILLIANT - Songs of Ireland;  REMEMBERING SACCO & VANZETTI; and their premier 2001 Appleseed Recording, I STRUCK GOLD.  In addition to a full time career of concert touring, King has sung in support of numerous groups working for peace, human rights, environmental sanity and alternatives to violence.

His central vision as an entertainer is to leave audiences with a sense of optimism and possibility about the future.  "I try to cover a broad emotional landscape in my concerts.  The stories I collect and the songs I write take the listener on a journey of humor, heartache and hope.  What I most value in a song is the way it helps us see an old reality in a totally new light."

Charlie was born in 1947, and was raised in Brockton, MA.  He cites as musical influences the folk music revival of the 1960's, the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War era.  

Folk legend Peggy Seeger says, "If we had more Charlie Kings in the world I'd be less worried," and Tom Paxton adds, "Luckily, we have him!"
