Composed between 1817 and 1821 and premiered in Berlin\, this three act Singspiel with spoken dialogue draws on German folk legend and early Romantic interests in the supernatural\, the natural world\, and the moral tension between good and evil. At its center is Max\, a huntsman whose confidence and marksmanship fail him at the very moment he must win a shooting contest\, declared by Cuno\, Agathe’s father and hereditary forester\, to marry Agathe and become his rightful successor. In his desperation to improve himself and secure his future\, Max is persuaded by his brooding companion Caspar\, who has already forfeited his soul to Samiel\, the Black Huntsman\, into entering a Faustian bargain. Together they summon seven magic bullets\, six of which Max controls\, while the seventh belongs to Samiel and will strike whatever target the demonic power chooses.  \n\n\n\nThe Music \n\n\n\n The Overture condenses the opera’s dramatic trajectory into a concentrated musical narrative that foregrounds its central moral question concerning the conflict between good and evil. It begins with broad orchestral gestures and a noble horn chorale that evoke the hunting community and the forest environment\, before the atmosphere shifts suddenly with tremolo strings and a diminished seventh chord associated with Samiel’s diabolical presence. The principal fast section unfolds in sonata form. Its turbulent first theme\, derived from Max’s Act I aria\, reflects his unsettled and darker character as it moves from agitated C minor writing into a grim\, marchlike quality. In contrast stands a luminous second theme in C major\, taken from Agathe’s Act II aria\, initially shaped by antiphonal exchanges between woodwinds\, low strings\, and brass that suggest lingering uncertainty. By the conclusion\, however\, C major ultimately prevails over C minor. Agathe’s loving and redemptive music triumphs over Samiel’s sinister influence\, and the Overture\, like the opera\, resolves its opening question by affirming that love and grace overcome the forces of darkness. \n\n\n\nNote by Jordan Owen \n\n\n\nViolin Concerto in D minor\, op. 47\n\n\n\nJean Sibelius composed his Violin Concerto in D minor\, op.47\, between 1902 and 1904\, marking his only completed foray into the genre due to a naturally solemn disposition. While encouraged by German virtuoso Willy Burmester to write the piece\, Sibelius was forced by financial strain and personal turbulence to move the premiere to a date that Burmester could not accommodate\, leading the offended violinist to never perform it.  Over a barely audible murmur in the strings\, the solo violin introduces the principal theme of the first movement\, a dark\, sighing idea that gradually gains intensity. The theme conveys both longing and passion and returns multiple times throughout the movement. The composer’s stylistic features are evident throughout\, including somber orchestral colors\, swelling brass chords\, slow harmonic motion\, and expressive melodic writing. \n\n\n\nNote by Jordan Owen \n\n\n\nHorqin Rhapsody for Orchestra\n\n\n\nHorqin Rhapsody is an orchestral work composed in the Mongolian style. The music is magnificent and grand\, characterized by a tempestuous performance that evokes the vast and majestic landscape of the grassland. The piece is divided into four sections: \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction: Ancient horns awaken the slumbering grassland.\n\n\n\nFirst Section: Depicts a magnificent scene of herds of horses galloping across the plains\, stirring and awe-inspiring.\n\n\n\nSecond Section: Portrays the profound and serene expanse of the grassland.\n\n\n\nThird Section: Presents a vision of nature and humanity in perfect harmony\, celebrating the passionate\, unrestrained\, and optimistic spirit of the grassland people in the face of hardship.\n\n\n\n\nHorsehead Fiddle Concerto: Capriccio on a Pastoral Theme\n\n\n\nCapriccio on a Pastoral Theme depicts the vast pastures\, gentle winds\, clear skies\, and serene waters of the northern frontier of the motherland. The piece is composed in a rhapsodic style and free form. Its inspiration is drawn from the pastoral songs of the grassland\, incorporating traditional Mongolian folk songs praising the Mongolian horse. The work skillfully blends the horsehead fiddle with symphonic accompaniment\, celebrating the grassland people’s love for their homeland and their efforts in building a magnificent northern frontier. It also reflects their noble inner world\, dedicated to ecological preservation and harmonious coexistence with nature. \n\n\n\nAcademic Festival Overture\n\n\n\nJohannes Brahms came from a working-class family in Hamburg. Money was tight. To help make ends meet\, Brahms quit school at fourteen and headed to the seaport to work as a barroom musician. Brahms was unlikely to attend University\, however his duo-partner\, the violinist Joseph Joachim\, invited Brahms into University life\, over a couple of summer months in Göttingen\, while Joachim and his friends took Philosophy and History classes.(It was to Joachim that he would late dedicate his monumental violin concerto.) It was during these summer months that Brahms acquainted himself with beer halls and student drinking songs. By 1879\, Brahms was an established composer when the University of Breslau presented Brahms with an honorary Doctor of Philosophy. In return\, the University requested him to compose a piece as a musical “thank you”. Brahms did not appreciate this and instead of the traditional symphony the academics expected\, they received a beautifully orchestrate medley of student drinking songs that has become one of Brahms’ best-known works. In Academic Festival Overture\, Brahms skillfully weaves together four traditional beer-hall songs that would have been well-known to German university students of his era. The first\, “Wir hatten gebauet ein stattliches Haus” (“We have built a stately house”) is a majestic trumpet chorale that carried significant political weight; associated with student groups advocating for German unification. This is followed by the lyrical “Der Landesvater” (“Father of our Country”) in the strings and the humorous\, bassoon led “Was kommt dort von der Höh? (“What comes from afar?”)\, a lighthearted tune traditionally used during freshman initiations. The piece culminates in a triumphant full-orchestra rendition of “Gaudeamus igitur” (“Let us rejoice\, therefore”) a popular 13th-century commencement song that elaborates the rowdy\, carefree spirit of student life.  \n\n\n\nNote by Jordan Owen \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nAbout Suyahan\n\n\n\n\n“My grandfather and my great-grandfather played the Mongolian four-stringed fiddle\, told Mongolian stories\, and sang traditional songs in the village. Then\, when I was nine\, I first heard someone play the horsehead fiddle to accompany a folk song. From that moment I was deeply captivated by the sound! I fell in love with it!”  \n\n\n\nBorn in Tongliao\, Inner Mongolia\, China to ethnic Mongolian parents\, Suyahan was fascinated from a young age by the expressiveness of the Morin Khuur—(Horsehead Fiddle or Matou Qin). After undergraduate study\, he went to Ulaanbaatar\, Mongolia to complete his MM and then his DMA at the Mongolia National University of Education.  \n\n\n\nProf. Suyahan has won numerous accolades for his performances in China\, and he has received many teaching excellence awards from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region during his teaching at the Inner Mongolia University for the Nationalities (IMUN). \n\n\n\nBack to Program \n\n\n\n\nAbout Siana Wong\n\n\n\n\nSiana Wong is a native of Greensboro\, North Carolina\, with Malaysian heritage.

He trained as a violinist\, studied composition\, and at thirteen enlisted in the Marine Corps as an apprentice musician. After years as a theater conductor and performer\, he returned in 1880 to lead the US Marine Band\, a post he held until 1892. He then formed the Sousa Band\, which toured internationally for nearly four decades\, presenting more than 15\,000 concerts. \n\n\n\nSousa composed 136 marches\, along with operettas\, dances\, and songs\, admired for their energy\, craftsmanship\, and expressive range. His most famous work\, The Stars and Stripes Forever\, later designated the national march of the United States\, was the final piece he conducted before his death in 1932. \n\n\n\nCommissioned in honor of the 150th anniversary of American independence\, Sesquicentennial Exposition March was designated the official march of the Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition. Dedicated to Philadelphia mayor W. Freeland Kendrick\, the march received its premiere on the opening concert of the Sousa Band’s thirty-fourth annual tour in Hershey\, Pennsylvania\, on July 4\, 1926\, alongside premieres of Pride of the Wolverines and The Gridiron Club. The work captures the spirit of the struggle for American independence: its opening strain evokes the fiery resolve of revolutionary-era debate\, with woodwinds and brass set in opposition to suggest conflicting viewpoints throughout\, before converging in a unified\, triumphant conclusion. \n\n\n\nEarly Light\n\n\n\nCarolyn Bremer forged a path as a composer after extensive training as a double bass player. She studied at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester\, New York\, the California Institute of Arts in Santa Clarita\, and the University of California\, Santa Barbara\, and later in her career served as associate director of the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music at California State University\, Long Beach. She composed Early Light for the Oklahoma City Philharmonic\, which premiered the work in 1995. Its musical material is derived primarily from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” In this bright and uplifting piece\, Bremer—a passionate baseball fan since childhood—frames her excitement at hearing the national anthem before ball games. The percussive slapheard near the end echoes the crack of the bat on a long home run. \n\n\n\nConcerto for Saxophone and Wind Orchestra\n\n\n\nIngolf Dahl conceived of his Concerto for Saxophone and Wind Orchestra in 1948 after receiving a letter from saxophone virtuoso Sigurd Rascher expressing interest in a large-scale work for saxophone.  Rascher proposed the idea that the accompaniment should be scored so it could be performed with either band or orchestra\, but Dahl quickly abandoned the idea of the orchestra\, scoring it solely for band. Excited by the challenge of writing a new work for band\, Dahl remarked\, “Somebody has to write the big pieces\, the symphonic works\, if the medium is to be elevated.” The concerto\, initially titled Fantasy\, was conceived as a one-movement piece in three sections: recitative\, arioso\, and allegro. Later\, Dahl transformed the work into a multi-movement piece.  \n\n\n\nConcerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Orchestra was finished and premiered in May of 1949 by Rascher and the University of Illinois Concert Band. Dahl soon realized that Rascher was the only saxophonist in the world able to play the concerto due to its utilization of the very high “altissimo” register. This led to the concerto’s first revision in 1953\, in which the third movement was substantially rewritten to give the soloist an alternative to the altissimo passages. A third revision was made in 1959\, which included the removal of several sections\, shortening the piece to about three quarters of its original length. As for the differences between the original and published versions\, saxophone historian Paul Cohen writes: “When listening to the revised version of the concerto in comparison to the original\, it is clear that Dahl was operating from a different compositional perspective.” This evening\, we will perform the 1959 version.  \n\n\n\nHenry Cowell told Dahl that his concerto was “one of the most important and well-written band pieces he had ever seen.” One of Dahl’s closest contemporaries\, Igor Stravinsky\, was so moved by the piece that it brought him to tears. Within a decade of Dahl’s completion\, the Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Orchestra was performed by an extensive list of collegiate and professional ensembles\, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Wind Orchestra remains one of Dahl’s most frequently performed works.  \n\n\n\nYankee Doodle\n\n\n\nIn 1945\, the final year of World War II\, Morton Gould created a joyful setting of a tune that can be traced back to the very founding of our country and beyond\, the iconic “Yankee Doodle.” Although there is incontrovertible evidence that the tune was in use at the time of the Revolution\, its origins remain shrouded in mystery. Countries including England\, France\, Holland\, and the United States have laid claim to it\, and a definitive answer as to the source of the melody itself may never be known. The lyrics\, however\, can be traced back to the French and Indian War (1754–63). Although the British were fighting alongside colonial soldiers in this conflict\, they had nothing but contempt for the unprofessional appearance and undisciplined bearing of their American cousins. Dr. Richard Schuckburgh\, a British Army surgeon assigned to duty with the colonials in Albany\, New York\, found their shabby appearance so amusing that he penned the lyrics most associated with the melody today. Although his words were designed to insult the Yankees (“Doodle” is a Low German word meaning “fool”)\, by the time of the Revolutionary War Americans had come to embrace the song as their own. According to Moore’s Encyclopedia of Music\, “When the battle of Concord and Lexington began the war\, the English\, when advancing in triumph\, played along the road “God Save the King\,” but\, on their disastrous retreat\, the Americans struck up “Yankee Doodle.” \n\n\n\nSymphonic Dances from West Side Story\n\n\n\nA child of the Jazz Age\, Leonard Bernstein grafted George Gershwin’s Russian immigrant roots onto Cole Porter’s Ivy League education (Harvard\, for Bernstein). His protean career developed very quickly: his famous debut conducting the New York Philharmonic on short notice in a nationally broadcast concert in November 1943 was followed the next year by the premieres of his First Symphony (“Jeremiah”) with the Pittsburgh Symphony; his ballet Fancy Free\, choreographed by Jerome Robbins\, at the Metropolitan Opera; and his Broadway musical On the Town. \n\n\n\nIn 1955-57\, Bernstein wrote the musical West Side Story\, the work that would ensure his fame as a composer. Then—after a New York run of almost two years (772 performances) and a national tour—in the opening weeks of 1960\, Bernstein revisited his score for West Side Story and extracted nine sections to assemble into the Symphonic Dances. They premiered at a “Valentine for Leonard Bernstein” gala concert by the New York Philharmonic (a fundraiser for the orchestra’s pension fund) under Lukas Foss’ direction\, on February 13\, 1961. \n\n\n\nThe stylistic diversity within the Symphonic Dances is partially created by the juxtaposition of classical techniques (fugue\, etc.) with dance rhythms and jazz syncopations. However\, the essence of the entire score is that most prominent opening melodic figure of “Maria” (C-F sharp-G)\, with its characteristic tritone interval. The suite ends\, like the musical itself\, on edge\, with an evocative chord containing the same interval. \n\n\n\nThe crucial role of dance in West Side Story added to the challenge of adapting the music for the concert platform. The orchestrations call for vibrant instrumental combinations and a huge percussion section (not to mention the vocal talents of the orchestra members!) to enhance the kinetic quality of the rhythms. More deeply\, they tilt the narrative weight from a love story to gang conflict. We hear first the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks\, then the utopian opposite; their juxtaposition creates a dramatic tension that shapes the entire work. The printed score includes the following descriptions: \n\n\n\nPrologue (Allegro moderato)—The growing rivalry between two teenage street gangs\, the Jets and Sharks. \n\n\n\n“Somewhere” (Adagio)—In a visionary dance sequence\, the two gangs are united in friendship. \n\n\n\nScherzo (Vivace e leggiero)—In the same dream\, they break through the city walls and suddenly find themselves in a world of space\, air\, and sun. \n\n\n\nMambo (Meno presto)—Reality again; competitive dance between the gangs. \n\n\n\nCha-cha (Andantino con grazia)—The star-crossed lovers [Tony and Maria] see each other for the first time and dance together. \n\n\n\nMeeting Scene (Meno mosso)—Music accompanies their first spoken words. \n\n\n\nCool Fugue (Allegretto)—An elaborate dance sequence in which the Jets practice controlling their hostility. \n\n\n\nRumble (Molto allegro)—Climactic gang battle during which the two gang leaders are killed. \n\n\n\nFinale (Adagio)—Love music developing into a procession\, which recalls\, in tragic reality\, the vision of “Somewhere.” \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Soloist\nRobert Young\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFueled by a deep desire to create an enthusiasm surrounding the classical saxophone\, Robert Young connects with audiences with his musicianship\, virtuosity\, and authenticity. Praised for his “effortless expression and facile technique” (The Saxophonist Magazine)\, Robert maintains an active career as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and educator. His artistry has afforded him opportunities to appear with ensembles and musicians from across the globe including the PRISM Quartet\, The Crossing\, Chris Potter\, Ravi Coltrane\, Uri Caine\, Charlotte Symphony\, Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings\, and the Charleston (SC) Symphony Orchestra.  \n\n\n\nAs a chamber musician\, Robert collaborated with The Crossing and performed alongside the PRISM Quartet on the GRAMMY Award-winning album Gavin Bryars: The Fifth Century (available on ECM Recordings). The New York Times praised the collective performance on this album as “superb”and “eloquent.” Young has appeared with the PRISM Quartet on numerous concerts including residencies at the Curtis Institute\, Shepherd School of Music (Rice University)\, and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. He can be heard on several albums with this notable ensemble including The Curtis Project\, Heritage/Evolution\, Volume 2\, and The Book of Days.  \n\n\n\nAppearing with the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra as soloist in the 2023-24 season\, he was hailed as “uncommonly expressive…and technically prodigious” (San Francisco Classical Voice) for his performance of Guillaume Connesson’s acrobatic concerto\, A Kind of Trane. He has also been a soloist with the United States Navy Band\, performing Quicksilver by Chicago-based composer Stacy Garrop\, and has been featured as a soloist with the Rock Hill Symphony Orchestra\, Piedmont Wind Symphony\, UNCSA Symphony\, and Zagreb Soloists (Croatia). \n\n\n\nRobert holds a teaching position at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro as Assistant Professor of Saxophone. Young’s students have received honors at several local\, regional and national competitions and have been featured at several clinics and conferences throughout the country. He previously has served on the faculties of the UNC School of the Arts\, The Crane School of Music – SUNY Potsdam\, and Wichita State University. Young is often invited to give guest lectures and classes throughout the country. In Fall 2022\, Robert was invited as be a guest teacher for the renowned University of Michigan saxophone studio as a sabbatical replacement for the award-winning saxophonist Timothy McAllister. \n\n\n\nRobert earned his Doctor of Musical Arts (2011) and Master of Music (2008) degrees in saxophone performance from the University of Michigan where he studied with Professor Donald Sinta. At the University of Michigan\, he studied jazz saxophone with Dr. Andrew Bishop and was a recipient of the Lawrence Teal Fellowship. Young received a bachelor’s degree from the University of South Carolina (2006) in saxophone performance where he studied with Dr. Clifford Leaman.  \n\n\n\nAs a Conn-Selmer Artist\, Robert Young plays exclusively on Selmer saxophones. He also serves as a D’Addario artist/clinician and endorses Key Leaves products. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Wind Ensemble\n\n\n\n\nThe UNCG Wind Ensemble is the premier wind band of the UNCG School of Music\, uniting fifty outstanding musicians from across the United States and around the world.

SUMMARY:The Message
DESCRIPTION:Join the School of Art at UNCG as we welcome Steven M. Cozart to the Gatewood Gallery. This exhibition will be open February 19 – March 20th with a Reception and Artist Talk on February 19. \n\n\n\nSteven M. Cozart is a highly accomplished artist-scholar and documentarian whose passion for Painting and drawing endures despite his colorblindness. His body of figurative work is deeply rooted in his personal experiences and introspections\, with a thematic focus on race and identity in Black America. Through thoughtful and deliberate use of symbolic objects in his imagery\, Cozart addresses the complexities and nuances of stereotypes affecting black men and women\, especially as they exist within the black community itself. \n\n\n\nTo read more about Steven M.
