He contributed dozens of works to what has since become the core band repertoire.\u202f<em>Molly&nbsp;<\/em><em>On<\/em><em>&nbsp;the Shore\u202f<\/em>was written in 1907 as a birthday present to Grainger\u2019s mother. It is a setting of two contrasting reels, \u201cMolly&nbsp;On&nbsp;the Shore\u201d and \u201cTemple Hill,\u201d and most prominently features the woodwind sections of the ensemble.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T1bc1OwBYAQ\"><em>Esprit de Corps <\/em><\/a>by Robert Jager (performed by the United States Marine Band:\u202f<em>The President\u2019s Own<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Esprit de Corps\u202f<\/em>is something of a\u202f\u201cfantasy-march,\u201d and a tribute to the United States Marine Band, who actually originally commissioned the work. It is based on\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sSRlQPD6Xiw\"><em>The Marines\u2019 Hymn\u202f<\/em><\/a>and is full of contrasting styles, energy, and drama, including a light quasi-waltz in its middle section.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-ooLAI_2fa4\"><em>Polka and Fugue<\/em><\/a> from the opera\u202f<em>Schwanda<\/em><em>, the Bagpiper <\/em>by Jaromir Weinberger, arr.&nbsp;Bainum&nbsp;(performed by the United States Marine Band:\u202f<em>The President\u2019s Own<\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Schwanda<\/em><em>&nbsp;the Bagpiper\u202f<\/em>was a classic opera in two acts from the early part of the twentieth century&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;a standard story of love found, love lost, and love found again. Through its use of familiar Czech folk tunes, it earned significant popularity upon its initial release, nearly 2,000&nbsp;stagings&nbsp;in its first decade. While\u202fstaging of the complete opera are rare since World War II, the instrumental\u202f<em>Polka and Fugue\u202f<\/em>is still a very popular part of orchestra and wind band concert programs to this day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Alex&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Burtzos<\/strong><strong>,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>a<\/strong><strong>ssistant&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>p<\/strong><strong>rofessor of&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>c<\/strong><strong>omposition<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UtQDZaMcl14\"><em>Piano Concerto in G<\/em>\u202f<\/a>(Mvmt. II Adagio assai) by Maurice Ravel<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ravel begins the second movement of this seminal work with an expansive, vocalistic line that blends elements of jazz with rhythms drawn from the waltz. When asked about what many consider his most beautiful melody, he responded, \u201cThat flowing phrase! How I worked over it bar by bar! It nearly killed me!\u201d None of that strain is apparent in the melody itself, which floats effortlessly from moment to moment, sustaining almost three minutes before the entrance of the orchestra.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=93jsY-YdZ1s\"><em>5\/4<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;<\/em>by Gorillaz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The cheerful funkiness of this track disguises its sophistication. To create the constantly shifting sensations in&nbsp;<em>5\/4<\/em>, Damon&nbsp;Albarn&nbsp;(also known as&nbsp;Gorillaz) layers rhythmic ostinatos of different lengths over one another. This results in a constantly surprising metrical scheme, and results in 5-bar phrases, which is&nbsp;unusual in this style.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SRmCEGHt-Qk\"><em>Overture to<\/em>\u202f<em>Tannhauser<\/em><\/a>\u202fby Richard Wagner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Wagner\u2019s overture is a masterclass in how to transform material over time. The simple, chorale-like melody first heard in the woodwinds in the opening bars of the piece returns multiple times, and is subjected to various transformations of meter, orchestration, and dynamics. Every iteration is different, but each one is effective; and taken together, they make for an emotional\u202ftour de force.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Tommy Harrison,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>a<\/strong><strong>ssociate&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>d<\/strong><strong>irector<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;of the<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;School of Performing Arts<\/strong><strong> and&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>p<\/strong><strong>rofessor<\/strong><strong> of&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>m<\/strong><strong>usic&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>b<\/strong><strong>usiness and&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>t<\/strong><strong>echnology<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gYRiBv5ORNQ\"><em>Knight Time<\/em><\/a><em>;<\/em>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C0ezYeVcs_Q\"><em>Spectrum<\/em><\/a><em>;<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a49SofaOWjg\"><em>The Pegasus<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;by Tommy Harrison Group<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tommy Harrison Group was a band that I was in when I first came to UCF in 2017.\u202fThough the band is currently on a hiatus, it includes two fantastic musicians: Peter Mosley, the bassist from the multi-platinum group&nbsp;Yellowcard, and noted session drummer,&nbsp;Eric Bailey.<\/p>\n<p>The record was recorded earlier in 2017, but not released until October of the same year.\u202fThe three songs I selected from the group\u2019s only release were inspired by my&nbsp;new position&nbsp;at UCF.\u202fComing back to UCF was one of the happiest events of my life, and these three songs have always reminded me of that happy time.<\/p>\n<p>I had always been a fan of UCF Athletics, dating back to my previous appointment from 2005 to 2006.\u202f&nbsp;<em>Knight Time<\/em>&nbsp;was inspired by the football team, while&nbsp;<em>Spectrum<\/em>&nbsp;was inspired by the&nbsp;men\u2019s&nbsp;basketball team.\u202f<em>The Pegasus<\/em>&nbsp;has been a long-standing symbol associated with UCF, especially when I was in my previous appointment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Jeffrey Rupert,&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>d<\/strong><strong>irector of Jazz Studies<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j76QPxjF6oo\"><em>On&nbsp;<\/em><em>t<\/em><em>he&nbsp;<\/em><em>S<\/em><em>treet&nbsp;<\/em><em>W<\/em><em>here&nbsp;<\/em><em>Y<\/em><em>ou&nbsp;<\/em><em>L<\/em><em>ive<\/em>\u202f<\/a> by Mel Torme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of the greatest jazz singers of&nbsp;all time&nbsp;swings with a velvet tone, and sings about love in the most joyous fashion.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KfL9q3SNdEM\"><em>Single Petal of a Rose<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;by&nbsp;Billy Strayhorn&nbsp;(performed by&nbsp;Ben Webster)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the title suggests, this Billy Strayhorn composition is about enjoying the finer things in life.
