Capture of the U-505 composed by John Willmarth. Timpani Solo. For timpani solo. timpani. Book. Duration 8 minutes, 50 seconds. Published by Innovative Percussion. IP.T-JW-505. Composer's notes. "Capture of the U-505" is a programmatic piece influenced by Wagner's use of Leitmotif. a musical device in which a character, place, or idea is depicted through a musical theme. Throughout the work the top two drums represent the American Naval forces and the bottom drums the German U-boat, the U-505. The piece is comprised of four sections. The U-boat, The Chase, The Battle, and The Capture. The opening reveals the U-boat theme including the characteristic sound of the sonar ping. The one-handed roll technique depicts the rumble of the U-boat engines. The Chase is written in a canonic style in which one hand "chases" the other. The left hand plays the bottom drums in the key of Bb while the right hand plays the top drums in the key of F. Eventually an ostinato is unveiled which rhythmically spells out the distress signal "S.O.S." in Morse code. In The Battle, small cloth bags filled with coins are placed in the center of the drumhead producing an explosion sound when the head is struck. At "agitato" the performer should improvise for 10-20 seconds using, but not limited to, the given motives in a fragmented rhythmic style. devoid of an easily discernable pulse center. The texture of the improvisation should become increasingly dense throughout. The drums can be tuned to any pitch throughout this section. based on where the performer chooses to end the glissando effects. but should end with the drums in mid-range. A 4-line staff is also used to represent the four drums rather that delineate a specific pitch set. This section should depict the chaos, aggression, and ferocity of battle. An elongated glissando up the drums is used to portray the U-boat surfacing thus ending the battle. this phrase should be performed on the 32" and 29" drums. The Capture brings some of the beginning themes full circle. This time, however, the rumble of the engines is on the high drums representing the American convoy. The drums are tuned to a major tonality depicting a resolution of the conflict throughout. The sonar ping is no longer present but the motive carries on as the sub is towed away. In 1941, the United States entered World War II in response to Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. At this point in the war, the Germans had already unleashed their Blitzkrieg attack on London and, along with Japan and Italy, formed the Axis powers. Because shipping was the primary means of delivering supplies to Great Britain and Africa, the German submarine or U-boat became a major factor in what has come to be known as the Battle of the Atlantic. German U-boats were sinking merchant ships at an alarming rate. In fact the U-boats effect on the war was so profound that in a speech British Prime Minister Winston Churchill stated, "The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril. " In response to this threat, the United States formed hunter-killer task groups designed to seek out and destroy enemy subs. Captain Daniel Gallery led the group known as the 22.3 which was comprised of five destroyer escorts. USS Chatelain, USS Jenks, USS Flaherty, USS Pillsbury, USS Pope, and the aircraft carrier the USS Guadalcanal. Through intercepted radio transmissions the 22.3 was able to ascertain the general location of a U-boat off the coast of West Africa. After 2 weeks of searching unsuccessfully, the 22.3 broke off the hunt. On June 4th, 1944, as they headed towards Casablanca to refuel, the USS Chatelain suddenly made sonar contact with the U-505 less than 800 yards away. The American destroyer fired on the sub as it took evasive action. Wildcat fighters from the Guadalcanal marked the position of the U-505 by firing their machine guns into the water. The Chatelain was able to severely damage the U-505 using depth charges, forcing her to surface. It was a short but fierce battle in which the U-505 was only able to launch one torpedo. Once the sub surfaced, the U.S. convoy surrounded the sub and covered her in artillery fire. The crew abandoned ship and 58 German sailors were captured with only one casualty. Although the Germans took measures to scuttle the ship, an American salvage crew managed to board the boat, remove classified materials, and save the U-505 from sinking. The boat was secretly towed over 2,500 miles to a U.S. base at Bermuda in order to study German U-boat technology. Because of the bravery, courage, and daring of Commander Gallery and his team, the U.S. Navy was able to capture an enemy vessel at sea for the first time since the War of 1812. Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll, Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, released the following statement. "The Task Group's brilliant achievement in disabling, capturing, and towing to a United States base a modern enemy man-ofwar taken in combat on the high seas is a feat unprecedented in individual and group bravery, execution, and accomplishment in the Naval History of the United States.

"Vang van die U-505" is 'n programmatiese stuk beïnvloed deur Wagner se gebruik van leitmotief. 'n musikale toestel in wat 'n karakter, plek, of 'n idee uitgebeeld word deur middel van 'n musikale tema. Regdeur die werk van die top twee tromme verteenwoordig die Amerikaanse Naval kragte en die onderkant dromme die Duitse U-boot, die U-505. Die stuk bestaan ​​uit vier afdelings. Die U-boot, The Chase, die oorlog, en die inlees. Die opening onthul die U-boot tema insluitend die kenmerkende klank van die sonar ping. Die een hand roll tegniek beeld die rommel van die U-boot enjins. The Chase in 'n kanonieke styl geskryf in watter een hand "jaag" die ander. Die linkerhand speel die onderkant tromme in die sleutel van Bb terwyl die regterhand speel die top dromme in die sleutel van F. Uiteindelik 'n ostinato is onthul wat ritmies spel die noodsein "SOS" in Morsekode. In die stryd, is klein doek sakke gevul met muntstukke in die middel van die trommelvlies vervaardiging van 'n ontploffing klank geplaas wanneer die kop geslaan. Op "agitato" die kunstenaar moet improviseer vir 10-20 sekondes met behulp van, maar nie beperk tot, die gegewe motiewe in 'n gefragmenteerde ritmiese styl. beroof van 'n maklik waarneembaar pols sentrum. Die tekstuur van die improvisasie moet die hele toenemend digte. Die tromme kan ingestel word om enige veld in hierdie artikel. gebaseer op die plek waar die kunstenaar kies die glissando effek te beëindig. maar moet eindig met die tromme in die middel-reeks. A 4-personeel word ook gebruik om die vier tromme eerder dat baken 'n spesifieke toonhoogte stel voor te stel. Hierdie afdeling moet die chaos, aggressie, en wreedheid van oorlog uitbeeld. 'N verlengde glissando die dromme word gebruik om die U-boot oppervlak dus die beëindiging van die stryd uit te beeld. hierdie frase moet op die 32 "en 29" tromme uitgevoer word. Die opname bring 'n paar van die begin temas volle sirkel. Hierdie keer, maar die rommel van die enjins is op die hoë tromme wat die Amerikaanse konvooi. Die tromme is ingestel om 'n groot tonaliteit uitbeelding van 'n oplossing van die konflik in die hele. Die sonar ping is nie meer teenwoordig is, maar die motief dryf as die sub is weggesleep. In 1941 het die Verenigde State van Amerika ingevoer die Tweede Wêreldoorlog in reaksie op Japan se verrassingsaanval op Pearl Harbor. Op hierdie punt in die oorlog, die Duitsers het reeds ontketen hul Blitz aanval op Londen en, saam met Japan en Italië, gevorm die Spilmoondhede. Omdat gestuur was die primêre middel van die lewering van voorrade aan Groot-Brittanje en Afrika, die Duitse duikboot U-boot of het 'n groot faktor in wat gekom het om bekend te staan ​​as die Slag van die Atlantiese Oseaan. Duitse U-bote te sink skepe teen 'n onrusbarende tempo. In die feit dat die U-bote uitwerking op die oorlog was so groot dat in 'n toespraak Britse premier Winston Churchill het gesê: "Die enigste ding wat my ooit regtig tydens die oorlog bang was die U-boot gevaar. "In reaksie op hierdie bedreiging, die Verenigde State van Amerika gevorm jagter-moordenaar taak groepe ontwerp om te soek en vernietig vyand subs. Kaptein Daniël Gallery daartoe gelei dat die groep wat bekend staan ​​as die 22,3 wat bestaan ​​is vyf verwoester escorts. USS Chatelain, USS Jenks, USS Flaherty, USS Pillsbury, USS Pous, en die vliegdekskip die USS Guadalcanal. Deur onderskep uitsendings in staat was om die algemene ligging van 'n U-boot vas te stel aan die kus van Wes-Afrika die 22.3. Na 2 weke van soek onsuksesvol, die 22,3 verbreek die jag. Op 4 Junie 1944, terwyl hulle op pad na Casablanca te hervul, die USS Chatelain skielik sonar kontak met die U-505 minder as 800 meter weg. Die Amerikaanse torpedojaer afgevuur op die sub soos dit gebeur het ontwykende aksie. Wildcat vegters van die Guadalcanal gemerk die posisie van die U-505 deur 'n vuur hulle masjien gewere in die water. Die Chatelain was in staat om ernstig beskadig die U-505 gebruik diepte koste, dwing haar na die oppervlak. Dit was 'n kort, maar hewige stryd waarin die U-505 was net een torpedo van stapel te stuur. Sodra die sub opgeduik, die VSA konvooi omring die sub en haar bedek in artillerie vuur. Die bemanning verlate skip en 58 Duitse matrose gevange geneem met net een slagoffer. Hoewel die Duitsers het maatreëls om die skip te luikgat, 'n Amerikaanse herwinning bemanning daarin geslaag om die boot te klim, verwyder geklassifiseerde materiaal, en red die U-505 van sink. Die boot is in die geheim gesleep oor 2500 myl op 'n Amerikaanse basis op Bermuda om 'n Duitse U-boot tegnologie te bestudeer. As gevolg van die dapperheid, moed en durf van Commander Gallery en sy span, die Amerikaanse vloot in staat was om 'n vyand skip op see te vang vir die eerste keer sedert die oorlog van 1812. Admiraal Royal E. Ingersoll, Commander in Chief, VSA Atlantiese vloot, vrygestel van die volgende stelling. "Die Taakgroep se briljante prestasie in aanskakel, vang, en sleep op 'n Verenigde State van Amerika basis 'n moderne vyand man-ofwar geneem in 'n geveg op die oop see is 'n prestasie ongekende in individuele en groep dapperheid, uitvoering, en vervulling in die Naval Geskiedenis van die Verenigde State van Amerika.
