A four-movement work, Pinery Park showcases the multi-faceted sounds and styles of varied trumpets, as well as my love of the Pinery Provincial Park on the shore of Lake Huron in Ontario. While the solo trumpet parts are tailored to highlight Lucas’s work as a crossover artist (a decades-long member of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s trumpet section, Lucas is also an assistant professor in the Jazz Department of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre \u0026amp; Dance), Pinery Park can be presented with multiple soloists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinery Provincial Park is a magical place. It is gorgeous. It has about 6 miles of shoreline on Lake Huron, with extremely rare ecosystems. It is also home to over 300 bird species. There are 10 walking\/hiking trails, a beautifully-kept bike trail, and ski and snow-shoeing trails for the winter months. There are camping sites that snuggle up to the base of the dunes, and one can simply pop over a dune and spend the day on the breathtaking beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembership dues for the Friends of the Pinery organization go to preserving the park. The park has naturalists on hand to educate visitors on the varied ecosystems within the park, as well as an app with maps, resources, etc. My favorite page on the app is “Dynamic Dunes,” which has graphics illustrating the evolution and ecology of the park’s beaches. It details how the shoreline of the Pinery is a landscape that is always changing. While the Pinery usually gains sand each year, occasionally the levels of Lake Huron have risen and eroded material away: in some periods the Pinery grows; in others it gives back some of its sand to the lake. Due to global warming and climate change, Lake Huron’s levels have been steadily increasing over the last decade, and the Pinery is currently in the midst of an ebb period—the shoreline dunes of the park are eroding away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI adore the Pinery, and this music is a thank-you note to its beauty, grandeur, and loveliness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePinery Park was commissioned by Director of Bands and Professor of Music Michael Haithcock, for the University of Michigan Symphony Band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWind Ensemble Instrumentation: \u003c\/strong\u003eSolo Trumpet (trumpet in C, Piccolo Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Trumpet in Bb); Piccolo, Flute 1-3, Oboe 1-3, Clarinet in Bb 1-3, Bass Clarinet, Bassoon 1-3, Soprano Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Horn 1-4, Trumpet 1-3, Trombone 1-3, Euphonium 1-2, Tuba, Contrabass 1-2, Percussion 1-3, Harp, Piano\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWind ensemble performance parts are available via rental.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/justatheorypress.com\/pages\/rental-quote\" title=\"Just a Theory — Rental Quote\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here for a rental quote.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HaHUKqf0QBo?si=D79H6qRGnVMgCpBc\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Solo Trumpets and Symphonic Wind Ensemble \/ Full Score \/ Print","offer_id":47958261203231,"sku":"JAT-121-028-FS","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Solo Trumpets and Symphonic Wind Ensemble \/ Full Score \/ PDF Download","offer_id":47958261170463,"sku":"JAT-121-028-FSe","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1586\/5887\/files\/Kuster_PineryPark00Score-001.png?v=1711124383"},{"product_id":"two-jades","title":"Two Jades","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTwo Jades,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Kristin Kuster (2011) 14'\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003efor solo violin and symphonic band\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe new wing of the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) houses the Shirley Chang Gallery of Chinese Art. At the base of one case are two jade objects: a bi disc and a cong tube. The forms of the bi (circle) and cong (square) date back to the Stone Age in China; yet their original meaning, names, and functions are unknown. They gained importance in the Han dynasty, where they were at the core of the earliest Chinese books on philosophy, metaphysics, and cosmology. In the Zhou Li (Book of Rites), an ancient book compiled in the Zhou dynasty and amended in the Han dynasty, the cong is described as a symbol of earth, and the bi as a symbol of sky, or after world. The nephrite jade used by the ancient Chinese was extremely hard, and had to be worn down with an abrasive paste to achieve the desired shape and decoration. The ceremonial bi and cong jade objects were often buried with their owners.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe cosmology of these objects is foreign to me because, as an American, I look at them from outside the Chinese culture. Their meanings are interpreted by my thought process as a means for creative inspiration, and an impetus for musical ideas. Shortly after my father passed away in February 2010, Michael Haithcock asked me to contribute a new piece to the University of Michigan Symphony Band 2011 Tour of China. My coming upon the two jade bi and cong objects at the UMMA evoked a compelling sense of two-ness: two objects, symbols of earth and sky; mother and father; the lives and deaths of my parents; our UofM students experiencing a foreign culture, and the gift from that culture of listening to our students perform; and esteemed UM Alumnus, violinist Xiang Gao, coupled with our symphony band.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe music of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTwo Jades\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e is comprised of three sections, fast-slow-fast.

After studying the painting, I began to notice how the tangle of swirls merge into a few larger circular rings embedded in the painting. In my musical work, I take these embedded rings of paint as an organizing principle. The overall form of “Falling Up” consists of a series of rotations of the original thematic material, where the order, orchestration and character of the material vary in each rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph_style_7\"\u003eMy work is also inspired by the experience of watching a gust of wind blow the leaves off a tree, sending them twirling up into the air, and carrying them off into the distance.  The upwards gesture of the leaves “falling up” off the tree combines with Pollock’s tangled sea of swirls to create a flurry of intertwining upwards motion, ultimately propelling the autumn leaves off into the sky, where they sail away until they are out of sight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph_style_7\"\u003eII. “Evening Glow” is inspired by a painting of the same name by nineteenth-century British painter John Atkinson Grimshaw.

The painting shows a woman standing alone, looking down a winding road during the dusk of a fall evening.

The overall form of “Falling Up” consists of a series of rotations of the original thematic material, where the order, orchestration and character of the material vary in each rotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph_style_7\"\u003eMy work is also inspired by the experience of watching a gust of wind blow the leaves off a tree, sending them twirling up into the air, and carrying them off into the distance.  The upwards gesture of the leaves “falling up” off the tree combines with Pollock’s tangled sea of swirls to create a flurry of intertwining upwards motion, ultimately propelling the autumn leaves off into the sky, where they sail away until they are out of sight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"paragraph_style_7\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piccolo 1-2, flute 1-2, oboe 1-2, bassoon 1-2, clarinet 1-3, bass clarinet, alto saxophone 1-2, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet 1-3, horn 1-4, tenor trombone 1-2, bass trombone, euphonium, tuba, timpani, percussion 1-4, piano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"paragraph_style_6\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/194291757\u0026amp;color=ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"paragraph_style_6\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Full Score \/ Print","offer_id":50796158910751,"sku":"JAT-153-020-FS","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Full Score \/ PDF Download","offer_id":50796158943519,"sku":"JAT-153-020-FSe","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Score and Parts \/ Print","offer_id":50796158976287,"sku":"JAT-153-020-SP","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wind ensemble \/ Score and Parts \/ PDF Download","offer_id":50796159009055,"sku":"JAT-153-020-SPe","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1586\/5887\/files\/JAT-153-020FallingUp00FullScore-01.png?v=1744215321"},{"product_id":"nathan-nightscape-daybreak","title":"Nightscape Daybreak","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNightscape Daybreak, \u003c\/em\u003eEric Nathan (2006) 19'\u003cbr\u003efor solo trumpet and concert band\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNightscape\/Daybreak\u003c\/em\u003e is inspired by the Georgia O’Keeffe painting \u003cem\u003eRadiator Building at Night \u003c\/em\u003e(1927).

The inspiration for this work—and the titles of each of the four movements—comes from a quote from William Manchester's book \"A World Lit Only by Fire\", discussing the ways in which Europeans in the years immediately preceding the dawn of the Renaissance failed to see what was coming:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen we look back across five centuries, the implications of the Renaissance appear to be obvious. It seems astonishing that no one saw where it was leading, anticipating what lay round the next bend in the road and then over the horizon. But they lacked our perspective; they could not hold a mirror up to the future. Like all people at all times, they were confronted each day by the present...with \u003cstrong\u003ethe significant, the trivial, the profound, and the fatuous\u003c\/strong\u003e all tangled together.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI first read this quote in 2019, a time when I thought I understood what it meant to feel uncertain about the future. Americans faced a barrage of shocking headlines, from political chaos to violence, and I was navigating my own transitions—career changes, a new relationship, loss, and self-discovery. Looking back, I realize how naive that was. Just months later, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down the world, and local events in the Twin Cities sparked global protests. Today, with wars, scandals, and climate crises abound, it’s clear that uncertainty is timeless. In times of uncertainty—and this current moment ought to qualify—I find history to be instructive and comforting in that it reminds me that we are all small in the grand scheme of things. Our lives hold meaning because they matter to us, but to worry too much about what is outside of our control is ultimately foolish, since it is really impossible to know where things will lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn composing this symphony, my goal is not to suggest that we should not take into consideration the future implications of our actions, but rather remind all of us that the lives that are right in front of us, today, are gifts that should be cherished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eArranger's notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI first met Isaac Mayhew shortly after the Millennium Composers Initiative was formed.

I was granted the opportunity to expand upon Isaac's material in a way which not only built upon his initial ideas, but also provided my own musical interpretations in the process. The symphony, in a sense, therefore provides musical snapshots, as if listening to a concept album or EP. \"the significant\" grooves and flows with a grungy attitude, while \"the trivial\" is ethereal, meditative, and ambient. \"the profound\" joyously celebrates life amidst various concerns and anxieties, while the prelude and scherzo comprising \"the fatuous\" reveals the inevitable dangers hidden behind the inherent meaning of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am so grateful to Isaac for entrusting me with this arrangement.

Wilfred instead served his country England as a soldier during World War I, leading to an almost fatal accident which left him hospitalized for several months. During his recovery, and under the tutelage of his co-patient and fellow poet Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred wrote what is considered to be some of the most beloved British poetry concerning the war, depicting both the physical and psychological tortures of the battlefield and the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFade fadeIn\"\u003e“Anthem for Doomed Youth” is one such poem of Wilfred Owen’s personal experiences in battle - its gruesomely bleak tone, combined with its striking use of metaphor and juxtaposition, became the basis of this musical setting for wind ensemble. Each of the poem’s two stanzas receives its own movement played without pause - metaphors and other distinctive elements are transformed into musical motives surrounded by cataclysmic frenzy, subdued liturgies, and an elegiac processional haunted by nightmarish visions before closing in somber reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrade 6\/Advanced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI.
