Remark from Robert Boudreau: David Amram was the principal horn with the National Symphony for a
number of years. This is an amazing work for horn and wind orchestra, with a great deal of jazz
influence. Following the premiere performance in Pittsburgh, Leonard Bernstein programmed this work

Remark from Robert Boudreau: I had the honor of visiting with Auric when he was director of L’Opera in
Paris. The AWSO Editions is so fortunate to have a work by such a master, who represents a unique time
in the history of French music. As you perform this elegant work, you will be walking down the Champs
Elyssee into the Place de la Concorde.

*BADINGS, Henk Concerto for Flute, 1963 12 min. $600
Flute solo, 3 3(EH) 3 (Bscl) 3(Cbsn) 4431 T P(3) Pf
Remark from Robert Boudreau: Here is an example of a real genius as a composer who has already been
forgotten, but certainly has created several remarkable works for the AWSO. The flute concerto was to
receive its premiere performance by the renowned French flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal. As we began to
rehearse this work, I noticed that Rampal was leaving out many of the notes in his solo part. We had a
discussion, and Rampal’s remark was that “there are just too many notes.” He would not admit that the
piece was beyond his technical ability. However, it turned out that the AWSO’s principal flutist, Levina
Boehl ( and indeed many future soloists) was able to play the part as written. I know of no concerto for
flute that is more beautiful than this one.

*BADINGS, Henk Concerto for Harp, 1967 21 min. $600

This work reflects her greatness.

with Narration compiled by Hal Holbrook
Narrator, 4(pic, alto) 3(EH) 4(Bcl 2Cbcl) 4(2Cbsn) 4 4 4 1 T P Hp Pf Cel Banjo (ad lib)
Remark from Robert Boudreau: I met Hal Holbrook at the Algonquin Hotel in NYC; this was the during
the time of the McCarthy hearings. Hal had been blacklisted (as well as Pete Seeger and many other
wonderful artists)and was practically starving. I remember there was a beautiful buffet there in the
lobby of the hotel, and he spent most of the time eating. But he did produce a remarkable and evocative
narration of Twain’s time as a riverboat captain.

performance of this work the great Swedish soloist Hans Samuelsson. Really a work for a master
bassoonist.

with all the wonderful French children’s songs incorporated in this work.

organ, church bells and soprano solo
4 4(2EH) 4(2Bcl) 4(2Cbsn) 4 4 4 2 T PO(4) Org (Sopr solo ad lib)

Note from Robert Boudreau: Henry came to my home; we went into the barn, where there was some old
copper tubing. He began arranging the different lengths, strung them up and began hitting them, saying
“This is exactly the sound I want!” He not only captured the essence of a wind orchestra, he went far
beyond. Of the 500+ works, his may be the most important masterpiece in the AWS Editions. I find it sad
that prominent artists and educators, when confronted with the name Henry Brant, are unaware of this
unique genius. Once he organized a concert in Holland on four different canal boats, each playing its
own music, and creating such a cacophony when they met at an intersection of the extensive canal
system. The Chicago Symphony commissioned Brant to do a work for its Centennial celebration, and he
composed a piece for90 trombones and a Native American drummer! (They could never find the
drummer because he spent his time riding up and down the elevator in his hotel…) Many flute players
may know Brant’s work for thirteen flutes, “Angels and Devils.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*BROUWER, Leo b. 1939 Cuba Cancion de Gesta, 1980 - 26 min. $600


A one-movement tour de force for the whole group, with special focus on (membrane)
percussion
4(pic) 4 4 4 4 4 4 2 P(6) Hp Pf/elec. Org

Note from Robert Boudreau: A package arrived from Cuba in 1980 – inside, a full score for wind
orchestra, with a note saying, “This is my gift to you for what you have given to my brothers and sisters.”
An explanation: Ever since my meetings with Villa Lobos, I have had a penchant for developing more
concrete relationships with my fellow musicians in the Americas. In -79 I had traveled extensively in Latin
America and Central America. I had auditioned a wonderful horn player in Bogota, actually the principal
with the National Symphony. When he told me that his only teacher had been a drunken clarinetist, I
asked if he would have an interest in studying with Rainer D’Intinnis, who had been a colleague at
Juilliard and was then principal with the New York Philharmonic. He was excited about the idea. From
that conversation developed the concept of bringing 12 “Caribbean Scholars “ - young musicians from
Costa Rica, Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Honduras, Puerto Rico, who came to
Pittsburgh and studied at Pitt, Carnegie-Mellon and Duquesne Universities, while the AWSO housed, fed
and provided winter clothing for them. Out of that program came Pedro Dias, principal English horn with
the Met, Fernando Meza, percussion faculty at the University of Minnesota, and Rolando Morales-
Matos, on the faculty of Curtis Institute. These were the “brothers and sisters” whom Leo Brouwer
indicated. The thematic material of this epic voyage of “the boat loaded with future” is based on
Handel’s Water Music; dramatic use of percussion reappears again and again.

CASTEREDE, Jacques 1926-2014 France Aria for English Horn and Winds,1977 $400

did for the AWSO.

4(pic) 4 4(Eb) 4 5 5 5 1 T P(5)

Note from Robert Boudreau: During the 1976 Bicentennial Tour, Agnes DeMille choreographed this
jubilant work for a dance troupe that traveled with the tour – a great way of combining a schools’ dance
program with the instrumental one

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*DRAKE, James b. 1935 USA Down by the Riverside 7min $350


5(pic)222(Cbs) 4 4 4 1 Dst Xyl Boat Whistle(Dixie Grp: Cl, Tpt, Tbn,Pf)

outstanding orchestrator who has contributed so much to the lighter repertoire of the AWSO.

beauty, filled with lush sonorities that envelops not only the conductor and musicians, but also the
audience

*FISER, Lubos 1935-1999 Czech Republic Report, 1971 8min. $500


4 4 4 4 5 5 5 1 P(6) Pf

Remark from Robert Boudreau: We visited Prague when the Russians were still occupying
Czechoslovakia. Lubos invited us to his home, and told us that any commissions he would receive the
Russians would take; so we sent his commission to his account in Holland. He asked us for a favor – to
take a set of his father’s architectural drawings (which had been sent to a firm in Vienna) with us and
mail them back, as the Russian authorities wanted to hold his father in ransom for them. I had placed
the plans on top of our luggage so that the border guards would not think we were trying to hide
something. The Russian guard wanted extra money for us to leave; I refused. Finally, after a half-hour
delay, he shouted “Go!” This work shows through music Fiser’s view of the “Prague Spring,” when the
Russians marched back in force to put down unrest. The opening call in the trumpet is a dramatic call to
action on behalf of freedom.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FRANCAIX, Jean 1912-1997 France Ode a la Liberte,1986 - 10 min. $500


4 4 4 4(2Cbsn) 5 5 5 2 P(5) Cel Hp

For solo trumpet, solo bassoon & wind orchestra
Solo tpt, solo bsn 3(pic) 3(EH) 3(Eb) 3(Cbsn) 4 3 3 1 T(2)P(6)

Note from Robert Boudreau: This unusual work opens with three snare drummers with different
tonalities spread across the stage, moving sounds from one end of the stage to the other. The solo
trumpet and bassoon present a wonderful counterpoint to the rest of the wind orchestra.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GALINDO, Blas 1910-1993 Mexico Concerto for Flute & Wind Orchestra,1980 15 min. $500

4(pic, alt) 4(EH) 5(Eb, bcl, Cbcl) 4(Cbsn) 4 4 4 1 T P(4) Hp Pf/cel

Note from Robert Boudreau: Inasmuch as Blas Atehortua worked closely with Ginastera, his
orchestration of this work that was originally written for piano is outstanding, and displays what a wind
orchestra is really about.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUARNIERI, Camargo 1907-1993 Brazil Homenagem a Villa-Lobos, 1966 8.5 min $500
5(pic, alt) 4(EH) 4(Bcl) 4(Cbsn) 4 3 4 1 T P Hp Pf Cel

Note from Robert Boudreau: One of my favorites, beautifully conceived. This is truly a composer who has
been overlooked.

*HANDEL, George Frederic, 1685-1759 Music for the Royal Fireworks 23 min $400
0303(Cbsn) 3 3 0 0 T P Cb

*HANDEL, George Frederic Water Music 18 min. $400


3(alto) 3(EH) 0 5(Cbsn) 2 3 0 0 T

Note from Robert Boudreau: I personally visited the British Museum in London, where I studied Handel’s
original manuscripts for both these works. I only made small changes – using contrabassoon instead of
the serpent, and doubling the oboe parts with flutes. I was amazed to see how many different
instrumentations he had for any particular work. Besides being a remarkable composer, Handel was truly
a great entrepreneur, creating new venues and occasions for memorable performances.
HOVHANESS, Alan 1911-2000 USA Return and Rebuild the Desolate Places,1966
11 min $450
Trp solo 3 3(EH) 3(Bcl) 3(Cbsn) 4 2 3 1 T P(2)
Remark from Robert Boudreau: Alan came to every premiere performance in Pittsburgh. A very unique
and sensitive individual, who wrote music from his heart. The story as I understand it: He was a very
prolific writer, and apparently on a trip by ship to Europe, he threw all his works to date overboard,
vowing to start over again and do much better. This work contains a hauntingly beautiful solo for
trumpet, which certainly could be illustrative of what is happening in our world today.

HOVHANESS, Alan Requiem and Resurrection, 1969 15 min $450


0 0 0 0 4 2 3 1 T P(3)
Note from Robert Boudreau: A remarkable work for brass choir. Having performed and worked with
Robert King (Music for Brass), I know that Bob would have been filled with delight for this work. Where
has the brass choir gone?

*HOVHANESS, Alan Symphony No. 4 , 1958 18 min. $600


3 3(EH) 3(Bcl) 3(Cbsn) 4 2 4 1 T P(4) Hp
This work has had numerous performances, been recorded by AWSO and Eastman School of Music.
Beautiful choral and fugal kind of writing for horns, trombones and trumpets; an exquisite
contrabassoon part; 2nd movement opens with marimba solo evoking Indian music; the true senza
misura as only Hovhaness conceived it. One of the top ten works in AWS Editions.

HOVHANESS, Alan Symphony No. 7 “Nanga Parvat” ,1959 14 min. $450


3 3(EH) 2 2 4 2 3 1 P(4) Hp
Note from R. Boudreau: Nanga Parvat is a Kashmir mountain, serene majestic, forever frozen in treeless
snow. This 3-mvt. work evokes its ferocity in storm and grandeur at sunset, with an isorhythmic march in
between suggesting wild street marches in Indian villages.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KLEINSINGER, George 1914-1982 USA Symphony of Winds 14 min $500


Narrator, 3(pic) 3(EH) 3(Bcl) 2(Cbsn) 4 3 3 1 T P Cb

Remark from Robert Boudreau: A great program piece for children’s concerts, introducing all the
instruments of the wind symphony with a charming narration. The first performance had David Amram
as an innovative and hilarious narrator.

3(pic) 3(EH) 4(Eb, bscl) 3(Cbsn) 4 4 4 1 P(6) Pf

Remark from Robert Boudreau: A hard-driving work with contrasting rhythms in each of the sections, in
combat mode, with a long, meditative conclusion.

Remark from Robert Boudeau: Robert Russell Bennett told the story of how he was doing a show, and
there were so many last-minute changes being made, that he needed help, and brought in the young
orchestrator Philip Lang; and that was the beginning of Lang’s long career on Broadway.

Kobashi, who, perched on scaffolding, maneuvered the parts of his kinetic sculpture as the orchestra
performed Mayuzumi’s work. This performance can be seen and heard in the film “Music on the River,”
an early PBS production directed by Nathan Kroll.

not realized before that that Rodrigo was blind, and that in actuality all his scores were notated by his

Note from Robert Boudreau: This powerfully evocative work was first performed in Louisiana and
Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina. Rolf Rudin stated, “I think of horrendous storms and natural
catastrophes such as Hurricane Katrina as being Nature’s answer to the misuse of our environment by
careless human beings. So this work is about the storm and its destructive aftermath for people…The
final chorale represents a human response of hope and encouragement not to give up in finding an
answer for the future.”

Note from Robert Boudreau: Ivan came from a long line of composers, going back to St. Petersburg,
Russia, where his grandfather taught Prokofiev. He is another major composer who has not been
acknowledged sufficiently. This virtuoso piece is an exciting work and should have many performances.
It is one of the works that we will be scheduling for the AWSO’s 60th anniversary.

Note from Robert Boudreau: I met with Leonardo Velazquez in Mexico in 1959, upon the
recommendation of Heitor Villa Lobos. In 1961 Leonardo toured the Thames River in London with the
AWSO and me, where this work told of a young Aztec chief who rebelled against the Spanish.

Remark from Robert Boudreau: I met Villa Lobos in 1956 at the Essex House in New York. Both of us
spoke bad French, and he said to me “I no write for band!” He preferred the winds and brass of the
symphony orchestra, and that is how the AWSO was conceived. He attended the premiere performance
of the Fantasia in Pittsburgh in 1958. The following year, when we performed the Concerto Grosso, he
had already passed away.

remarkably written for the concerto grosso, which includes the entire flute family and harp.

Note from Robert Boudreau: While a student at Boston University, I had the privilege of performing with
the Boston Brass Quartet, with Robert King (of King Editions’ Music for Brass) playing euphonium. He
was exceptional in bringing new knowledge to me about the subtlety and finesse of brass choir and brass
quartet performance. In performing in King’s brass choir, I learned that some of the greatest music ever
written came from the 16th and 17th century Italy.

Note from Robert Boudreau: Rorem received the commission for this work when he returned from his
studies in Paris with Nadia Boulanger. I do remember the reaction of some of my board members in
1957, who felt that the work was too contemporary. Upon hearing the work again fifteen years later,
they enjoyed it very much. An excellent, lively work with challenges for all the musicians.
