The inspiration for the quartet began with a short work named “The Seventh Degree” which was inspired by my daughter, Cadence, and her ability to question everything to its fullest extent. After the work received its premiere, I decided to create two more works that revolved around the other members of my family to complete this quartet. Movement 1, To Be Mischievous, was written about my young son, Andrew, who describes the title perfectly in his actions. Movement 2, To Be Loved, is a song that was written to my wife, Stephanie, to thank her for everything that she has meant to our family. The Seventh Degree was adapted into Movement 3, To Be Questioned, and still describes my daughter and her desire to know more and be curious about everything. Learn More

Program notes:

“Once in a Blue Moon” is a concerto for euphonium and wind ensemble written by a young Taiwanese composer, Wan-Yun Liang. According to the composer, this romantic piece is telling a story about “two lovers who coincidentally met, fell in love and watched the moon under the moonlight.” This piece consists of four sections without break. The music begins with a lovely main theme played by the soloist. This first section, marked Adagio, is in the style of the blues. It is followed by a fast section and a tango style third section. After a brief cadenza, the main theme comes back in a dance tempo. In this final section, the clarinet section will play the counter melody when the soloist presents the main melody. After that, trumpets and saxophones players will play the main tune while the counter melody will be played by the soloist. This represents the two lovers dancing happily under the moon.

This piece was premiered by the Euphonium player, Tzu-Hsiang Lin, and Taipei Symphonic Band in January 14th 2018, under the direction of  Dr. Po-Yuan Ku. 

This music has been selected as 2018 Taiwan Tuba Euphonium Competition Set Piece.

with Piano; Commissioned by Brent Shires and Gail Robertson for the 2015 International Horn Symposium, Los Angeles. This piece is a commentary on the transient nature of all things. Youth, fame and fortune, success, passion, romance, all are fleeting and insubstantial - illusion in a sense. The memories rise and fall from the mists of consciousness, fragmentary, unfinished until nothing remains but a pulsating movement through light. Learn More

I originally came across Frank Gulino’s music a few years ago at one of the International Trombone Festivals. I quickly fell in love with his musical voice and compositional style. After switching to bass trombone a few years ago, I realized quickly how small the bass trombone solo repertoire truly is. There are staples in the repertoire, but due to the nature of a small pool of repertoire choices, I wanted to take this opportunity to form a consortium and collaborate with Frank. My hope is this new piece will become a modern staple of the repertoire. - Austin Pancner

About the Work

 

Energy Suite was written for the University of Missouri - Kansas City's Graduate Fellowship Brass Quintet Volker Brass as part of the 2021 UMKC Fellowship Ensemble Composer-in-Residence program. The work consists of four distinct sections, each representing a form of energy:

1. Mechanical – Intricate rhythmic patterns and constantly changing meters create a driving groove in this first section.
2. Radiant – In this slow segment, smooth melodic lines and extensive polyrhythms result in a flowing and dreamy atmosphere.

• Kinetic – Beginning with the main ostinato in the trumpets, the music continuously propels itself into the last few measures, where the section suddenly ends right where it began.

1. Nuclear – The epitome of raw, destructive power, “Nuclear” features the tuba and trombone, with a robust Bruckner-inspired melody and solos that bring the piece to a powerful to an explosive end.

 

Performance Notes

 

1. The following metric groupings apply to all corresponding measures in the “Mechanical” section:

• 9/8 measures = 3+2+2+2
• 8/8 measures = 3+3+2
• 7/8 measures = 3+2+2

2. In “Mechanical”, the rests in mm. 71, 73, 75, 77, and 79 should be treated as timed and metered moments of silence.
3. The portamentos in “Kinetic” are quick, spark-like figures that should be performed as half-valve glissandi up to the player's highest solid note (exact pitch on both the lower and higher notes are not important in this context).
