Program Note RIDE was written as a gesture of appreciation for all of the kind things Jack Stamp has done for me; ranging from his unwavering friendship to his heartfelt advice on composition and subjects beyond. During the years 2001 & 2002, some wonderful things began to happen with my compositions that were Unparalleled to any professional good fortune I had previously experienced. The common thread in all of these things was Jack Stamp. I began to receive calls from all over the country, inquiring about my music, and when I traced back the steps of how someone so far away could know of my (then) unpublished works, all paths led to either reading sessions Jack had conducted, or recommendations he made to band directors about new pieces for wind band. The noblest thing about him was that he never let me reciprocate in any way, not even allowing me to buy him dessert after a concert. All he would ever say is, “just keep sending us music,” which I could only take as the privilege it was, as well as an opportunity to give something back that was truly unique. In late April of 2002, Jack had invited me to take part in a composer's forum he had organized for his students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. 1 was to present along side Joseph Wilcox Jenkins, Mark ‘Camphouse, Bruce Yurko and Aldo Forte. This forum was affectionately referred to in my house as “four famous guys and you.” It was such a creatively charged event, that everyone who took part was still talking about it months after it happened. Following the first day of the forum, Jack invited all of the composers to his house, where his wife Lori had prepared an incredible gourmet dinner. Since I didn't know how to get to Jack's house (a/k/a Gavorkna House) from the university, he told me to follow him So he and his passenger, Mark Camphouse, began the fifteen minute drive with me behind them. The ‘combination of such an invigorating day as well as my trying to follow Jack at the top speed a country road can be driven, is what wrote this piece in my head in the time it took to get from the TUP campus to the Stamp residence. RIDE was written and titled for that exact moment in my life when Jack Stamp’s generosity and lead foot were as equal in their inspiration as the beautiful Indiana, PA countryside blurring past my car window, = Samuel R. Hazo Performance Notes 1. The tempo is marked at “s = Exactly 167.” This is very important for the performance of this piece, in that less of a tempo takes the forward momentum away, and a quicker beginning ‘tempo doesn't allow for the piece to get faster at measure 144 and still hold its clarity. 2. As in any piece, dynamic contrast is key to an effective interpretation. However, such ‘contrast is twice as difficult with a quick tempo. Stress to the ensemble that there must be a “dynamic” commitment to each note. Aside from crescendos and decrescendos, dynamic change must be immediate. 3. All tills are either flatted or half-step trills due to the key signature in which they occur ‘There are no whole step trlls in the entire piece. If you hear one being played, it’s incorrect. 4, Be sure that measure 30 blooms with sound and stays that way until the subiro piano at measure 42. + 5, At measure 42, the timpanist, snare drummer and bass drummer are to play with their hands. ‘Their dynamic marking is mp. This dynamic is to be relative to the ensemble’s sound and not measured by the force of their hand striking the drum. They will probably have to hit the drum fairly hard to achieve a map with their hands that is relative to the ensemble’s level. 6. The snare drum and bass drum parts are so intertwined that itis strongly encouraged the two musicians have separate extra practices to ensure that there is one “feel” and one “drive” ‘coming from those two parts. To aid this, there is an extra part enclosed titled “Snare Drum arid Bass Drum” in which both parts are written together. I prefer that this be the music they use as it reinforces the importance of their unity and helps them follow each other's part. 7. From measures 94 to 106, the ensemble’s sound should be connected, smooth and lush. A. fnew sense of beauty has (o emerge here to bring the listener a fresh timbre, as well as to provide contrast to the harshness upcoming at measure 108. 8. Measures 144 to the end have to contain a degree of fury. This is where an ensemble can show how huge its sound can be when producing music that demands power. The last three ‘measures must be as loud as musically possible... with a touch extra 9. In regard to form, please explain to the ensemble that the piece begins and ends in Eb to symbolize going from one “home” to another, with many key and meter changes in between to take the listener and the musicians for a “ride.” [ have rarely seen anyone as “at home” when at work as Jack, and his love for being around students and music is outwardly evident.2 Biography (b. 1966) Samuel R.
