about us

The Northshore Concert Band (NCB) is a 100-member adult symphonic band with membership drawn from the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Founded in 1956 by the late John P. Paynter, the ensemble has become internationally known and respected for its musical excellence, membership continuity, and service to music education. Dr. Mallory Thompson, director of bands and professor of conducting at Northwestern University, is NCB’s artistic director. Thompson is in great demand as a guest conductor and clinician throughout the United States and is widely regarded as one of the leading wind conductors in the nation.

NCB performs 10 to12 concerts a year in the Chicago metropolitan area, reaching over 20,000 people. These include a four-concert series at Northwestern University’s Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, educational outreach programs at area schools, many summer concerts at the invitation of various communities and venues, and professional band festivals and conferences. Over the years, the group has worked with many renowned soloists and conductors, including Doc Severinsen, Wynton Marsalis, Frederick Fennell, Leroy Anderson, and dozens of musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, including Christopher Martin, John Bruce Yeh, Dale Clevenger, Adolph Herseth, and Mathieu Dufour.

NCB has produced eight CDs and receives playtime on Chicago’s classical music station, WFMT, among others. The band has also toured in Canada and Europe and extensively throughout the United States. NCB’s mission is deeply rooted in the concept of “community” and in encouraging involvement in music for people at all stages of life. NCB strives to be a leader in performance, educational outreach, recorded works, and new commissions, while reaffirming the heritage of bands in America. Several programs in NCB’s Lifetime of Music initiative help further the band’s educational mission. NCB co-sponsors the Northshore Concert Band/Northwestern University Festival, which annually provides 3,500 Chicago area young musicians the opportunity to perform solos and ensembles, with NCB members serving as judges and clinicians. The band also awards its John P. Paynter Scholarship to an outstanding young musician and invites dozens of talented high school students to perform with the band at the Winter Concert to help encourage young people to pursue their musical endeavors after graduation.

The ensemble’s musicians come from throughout the Chicago area, northern Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, and represent many professional backgrounds. Approximately half are professional music educators; the rest have a diverse set of occupations including business executives, attorneys, and physicians. Musicians range in age from 20 to 85, many with a tenure of two decades or more with the ensemble. All of the musicians are selected by audition and are strongly committed to volunteering their time and talents to the group.

NCB has sponsored three adult band conferences and has published a guide to organizing community bands. The guide has been used by hundreds of community bands over the past 20 years. These community band resources are available for download on our website, www.northshoreband.org.

progr a m notes

Fanfare of Wakakusa Hill Itaru SakaiItaru Sakai was born in Osaka, Japan, on March 24, 1970. At the age of four he began

taking piano lessons, and two years later he composed his first piece for piano. Sakai played flute in his high school band and began composing for winds around the same time. In 1990 he entered the Osaka College of Music and studied composition under Hideki Chihara and Kunihiko Tanaka. He graduated at the top of his class in 1994 and received his master’s degree from the same institution in 1996. In 1997 he was chosen as staff composer for the 52nd National Sports Festival in Osaka, Japan.

Fanfare of Wakakusa Hill was written in 1998 for the Nara Prefecture Band Association. A band consisting of selected junior high school students performed the premiere on February 7th, 1999. Wakakusa Hill is a landmark located east of downtown Nara, Japan. The large formation is named for the type of grass that is found there (“wakakusa” translates as “young grass”). Many famous temples and shrines can be found at the foot of the hill, such as the Todaiji Temple and Kasuga Shrine.

The hill is also the scene of the Yamayaki festival, a centuries-old annual event held in January. On this occasion, the entire hill is set ablaze, and the flames eventually fill the night sky above Nara and are visible for miles. The origins of the practice are unclear, though one theory claims that burning the hillside began during boundary conflicts between Nara’s great temples.

Despite the questionable beginnings, the festival has become a celebratory event, including fireworks and games that involve the entire community. Sakai’s Fanfare of Wakakusa Hill captures the joyful nature of the event and the pageantry that is often associated with time-honored traditions.

The Spring Sketches Satoshi YagisawaSatoshi Yagisawa was born in the Iwate Prefecture of Japan in 1975. After receiving degrees

in composition from the Musashino Academia Musicae, he devoted two years to work in research, working with Japanese composers Kenjiro Urata, Hitoshi Tanaka and Hidehiko Hagiwara. He also studied trumpet with Takeji Sekine and band instruction with Masato Sato in an effort to better learn the idiosyncrasies of the ensemble for which he would be composing.

Today, Yagisawa is one of Japan’s most vibrant young composers. He has written for orchestra, band, chorus and chamber settings, though his pieces for band have been his most successful. He has been commissioned by the World Heritage Foundation and his works have been performed at WASBE conferences. Yagisawa participates in a wide variety of activities including guest conducting, adjudicating musical events and writing for various music magazines.

The Spring Sketches was composed in 2006 as a sequel to an earlier composition, Fanfare - Young Pheasants in the Sky. The original work was written for the Kashihara Senior High School Wind Band in celebration of the school’s thirtieth anniversary. It was Yagisawa’s hope that the piece would “help inspire students to fly into their bright futures like young pheasants” (The school mascot was the Young Pheasant!). The Spring Sketches is a more introspective piece, presenting the Fanfare theme in a lush, chorale style.

Gloriosa Yasuhide ItoIn the sixteenth century, Roman Catholic missionaries introduced Christianity to the

people of Japan. The practice of this new religion was immediately banned by the region’s leaders, but there were those who continued to practice their faith surreptitiously in underground communities. Gloriosa is inspired by the songs of one such group – the Kakure-Kirishitan (Crypto-Christians) – who lived and worshiped in Kyushu, Japan.

The Kakure-Kirishitan performed sermons with disguised songs. Melodies and texts from Gregorian chant were obliged to be Japanized; for example, the Latin word “Gloriosa” was changed to “Gururiyoza.” This adaptation of liturgy for survival led Yasuhide Ito to write this piece, to reveal and solve this unique cultural mystery.


progr a m notes c o n t.

In explaining the work, Ito writes the following: Nagasaki district in Kyushu region continued to accept foreign culture even during the seclusion period, as Japan’s only window to the outer world. After the proscription of Christianity, the faith was preserved and handed down in secret in the Nagasaki and Shimbara areas of Kyushu region. My interest was piqued by the way in which the Latin words of Gregorian chants were gradually ‘Japanized’ during the two-hundred years of hidden practice of the Christian faith. That music forms the basis of Gloriosa.

The first movement, “Oratio,” opens with bells sounding the hymn’s initial phrases. The composer evokes the fervent prayers and suffering of the Crypto-Christians. The second movement, “Cantus,” showcases a brilliant blend of Gregorian chant and Japanese elements by opening with a solo passage for the ryuteki, a type of flute. The theme is based on the “Song of Saint John,” a 17th-century song commemorating the Great Martyrdom of Nagasaki in which a number of Kyushu Christians were killed in 1622. The third and final movement, “Dies Festus,” takes as its theme the Nagasaki folk song, “Nagasaki Bura Bura Bushi,” where many Crypto-Christians lived. Gloriosa was commissioned in 1989 and premiered in 1990 by the Sasebo Band of the Maritime Self-Defense Force of Kyushu, southern Japan.

Dance Mix Rob SmithRob Smith is currently the Associate Professor of Music Composition at the University of

Houston’s Moores School of Music. In Houston he directs the AURA Contemporary Ensemble as well as the Musiqa Chamber Ensemble. Before he received his teaching position at the University of Houston he was a faculty member of the University of Wollongong in Australia.

His compositions are performed throughout the United States and abroad. His music has received many awards including those from the Aaron Copland House, the National Band Association and the ASCAP. He has been commissioned by the Texas Music Festival Orchestra, the American Composers Forum Continental Harmony, Society for New Music, Sprung Percussion Sextet, and the New York Youth Symphony First Music Program.

Dance Mix was commissioned by the Society for New Music and the American Composers Forum, and it was premiered at an outdoor concert on Cazenovia Lake in Upstate New York. The instrumentation is similar to that of a jazz ensemble and the work contains traits of jazz and pop music, which the composer thought appropriate given the setting for the premiere. This work was used as the title music for the critically-acclaimed television documentary Continental Harmony, a behind-the-scenes look at the nation’s largest music commissioning project which “brought together strangers and neighbors for a common cause: to make music about the places they call home.”

Symphonic Suite Clifton WilliamsJames Clifton Williams was born in Traskwood, Arkansas, in 1923. He lived in a small house

near the station where his father worked as an agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad. Like many families, the Williams suffered greatly during the economic depression of the 1930s. After weathering many hardships, including bankruptcies and divorce, the family eventually arrived in Little Rock. Williams thrived in the setting of a larger city, gaining recognition as a cartoonist, composer, and horn player while still in his teens. He joined the United States Air Force (Army Air Corps at that time) as a bandsman. After the war, he performed in dance bands and taught in public schools before moving to Rochester, New York to study composition at the Eastman School of Music. Williams quickly received national acclaim as a composer of serious music for the wind band; his use of modern instrumentation was skillful and had a great impact on the standard of wind band literature.

Symphonic Suite consists of five movements, each of which incorporates the same principal theme. In addition to this repeated and reworked material, each movement also introduces a new theme. The suite begins with an “Intrada” which suggests a solemn processional in fanfare style. The following movement, “Chorale,” is based on a melody in the first cornet written in a blues-based style. “March” is composed after a short fanfare-like motive heard at the beginning of the piece; after many repetitions, the music builds to grand

allegro vivo peak. The “Antique Dance” features a modal melody in the flute with percussion accompaniment. Marked allegro con brio, “Jubliee” is the triumphant climactic movement of the suite with sonorous triadic harmony throughout. With a few contrasting sections, this movement develops several themes from the previous movements in an energetic and rhythmic style.

The Circus Bee March Henry FillmoreHenry Fillmore was the most flamboyant bandsman of this time, an era that stretched

across fifty years. During those years he likely wrote, arranged and edited more band music than any other musician in history. According to his biographer, Paul Bierly, Fillmore composed over 250 works and arranged over 750 others!

The Circus Bee March was a celebration of sorts for the fact that Fillmore and his father (who managed the family’s music publishing business) finally agreed that the young composer could publish his own music (even though it did not meet the elder Fillmore’s standard of being religious music). The title is that of an imaginary circus newspaper; Fillmore was poking fun at his dear friend John Klohr’s wildly popular Billboard March (written for a show business newspaper). With a lifelong interest in circuses and varied experiences touring with five different big top shows, Fillmore composed many circus-themed works. The Circus Bee March has become one of Henry Fillmore’s best known contributions to the band repertoire.
