To Hans ver Meulen and Ieke van der Veen, in commemoration of the Twentieth Anniversary of our friendship. - Joe and Sara Blaha. Several factors came together to inspire the writing of The Night Watch. Among them, of course, was the competiton that was held biennially in honor of my mentor and friend, Michael Hennagin. But, for whatever reason, I was thinking of not entering the contest. It was upon the urging of my colleague, Al Woijera of the Radford University Percussion Ensemble, that I seriously began to consider participating. In the last ten years of his life, Michael Hennagin become enormously interested in the percussion ensemble as a truly twentieth century. and composer friendly. musical vehicle. Certainly, his close relationship with Richard Gipson and the inspiration generated by the excellent musicianship of the University of Oklahoma Percussion Orchestra brought about the composition of the internationally known Duo Chopinesque and The Phanom Dances. When I first began teaching at Radford University, I was treated a bit like a celebrity because I had studied with the composer of Duo Chopinesque. A year later the Radford ensemble gave an expert reading of The Phantom Dances. Because of the relative newness of the percussion ensemble in western culture. neither Beethoven nor Brahms had written anything for a group of this type. and its inherent ability to explore new sonic possiblities and textures, Hennagin actively promoted the writing of music for the percussion ensemble to his students. His genius in writing for this ensemble, or, for that matter, any other instrument, was his ability to engage the listener to hear music in the smallest sound. And when his music was loud, it was an explosion. and every bit as dramatic. His sudden death in 1993 robbed us observing anyfurther manner in which he might have accomplished that effect. So, death, particularly Michael Hennagin's death, came to play a major part in the writing of The Night Watch. I chose as a source of inspiration for this piece Rembrandt's painting of the same name for three reasons. Sara. my wife. and I will be celebrating the twentieth anniversary of our first trip to Holland. Rembrandt's homeland. in 2001. the composition of Rembrandt's work provides amply interplay of shadow and light with the subject being the relative serenity of the central characters in the midst of hyperactivity. and, there just happens to be a drummer barely in the painting on the right side of the canvas. The writing of the work seemed to flow effortlessly from start to finish. I'm sure that some technical discussions might be warranted as to how the tonalities of E and D flat seem to emerge as representations of light and shadow. There may have been something like that going on. But what does the appearance of G major mean. For now, all I can say is that it all just sort of happened. - Joseph Blaha. About the OU Percussion Press. In 1977 the OU Percussion Orchestra and Ensemble embarked on a project that developed into a national model for the encouragement and development of new music for percussion ensemble. The OU Percussion Ensemble Commissioning Series regularly engages outstanding composers to write works for this medium.

Hans ver Meulen en Ieke van der Veen, in die herdenking van die twintigste herdenking van ons vriendskap. - Joe en Sara Blaha. Verskeie faktore het saam die skryf van die Night Watch te inspireer. Onder hulle is, natuurlik, was die competitie wat tweejaarliks ​​ter ere van my mentor en vriend, Michael Hennagin gehou is. Maar vir watter rede ookal, het ek gedink van nie deelname aan die wedstryd. Dit was op die aandrang van my kollega, Al Woijera van die Radford Universiteit Percussion Ensemble, dat ek ernstig begin om te oorweeg deelnemende. In die laaste tien jaar van sy lewe, Michael Hennagin geword geweldig geïnteresseerd in die perkussie ensemble as 'n ware twintigste eeu. en komponis vriendelike. musikale voertuig. Sekerlik, sy noue verhouding met Richard Gipson en die inspirasie wat gegenereer word deur die uitstekende musikaliteit van die Universiteit van Oklahoma Percussion Orchestra gebring oor die samestelling van die internasionaal bekende Duo Chopinesque en Die Phanom Dances. Toe ek die eerste keer begin skoolhou by Radford Universiteit, is ek behandel 'n bietjie soos 'n celebrity, want ek het met die komponis van Duo Chopinesque bestudeer het. 'N Jaar later het die Radford ensemble het 'n kenner lees van The Phantom Dances. As gevolg van die relatiewe nuwigheid van die perkussie ensemble in die Westerse kultuur. nie Beethoven of Brahms het iets geskryf vir 'n groep van hierdie tipe. en die inherente vermoë om nuwe moontlikhede sonic en teksture te verken, Hennagin aktief die skryf van musiek bevorder vir die perkussie ensemble aan sy studente. Sy talent skriftelik vir hierdie ensemble, of vir daardie saak, enige ander instrument, was sy vermoë om die luisteraar te betrek musiek te hoor in die kleinste klank. En toe sy musiek was hard, dit was 'n ontploffing. en elke bietjie as dramatiese. Sy skielike dood in 1993 beroof ons waarneming anyfurther wyse waarop hy kon bereik het daardie effek. So, die dood, veral Michael Hennagin se dood, het 'n groot rol te speel in die skryf van die Night Watch. Ek het gekies om as 'n bron van inspirasie vir hierdie stuk Rembrandt se skildery van dieselfde naam vir drie redes. Sara. my vrou. en Ek sal die viering van die twintigste herdenking van ons eerste besoek aan Holland. Rembrandt se tuisland. in 2001. die samestelling van Rembrandt se werk bied ruim wisselwerking van skaduwee en lig met die onderwerp om die relatiewe kalmte van die sentrale karakters in die middel van hiperaktiwiteit. en daar gebeur net 'n tromspeler skaars in die skildery op die regterkant van die doek te wees. Die skryf van die werk was om te moeiteloos vloei van begin tot einde. Ek is seker dat sommige tegniese besprekings kan geregverdig word oor hoe die tonaliteit van E en D plat lyk na vore kom as uitbeeldings van lig en skaduwee. Daar mag iets aan die gang gewees het. Maar wat beteken die voorkoms van G majeur gemiddelde. Vir nou, al wat ek kan sê, is dat dit alles net soort van gebeur. - Joseph Blaha. Oor die OU Percussion Press.
