Program Notes
First Suite in F was written for the fiftieth anniversary of the United States Navy Band, and the premiere was in the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, conducted by Lieutenant Commander Ned Muffley.
The composer writes:
As you might expect, the musical ideas contain allusions to the Navy and the music-making of the Navy Band. The first movement, Sea Chantey, is not based on any particular sea chantey. Rather, it catches the flavor of the genre -- confident, humorous, and upbeat. The various sea motives are used in a contrapuntal manner, climbing over one another to see which can outdo' the other. The second movement, Song of the Bells, is wistful in character, perhaps symbolizing the loneliness and grandeur of the sea. On purpose, I reserved the bell (chime) tones for the ending. The third movement, Country Dance, serves as an intermezzo. It has a simple, melodious, and natural character. The final movement, Rumba Rumba, shows Navy men having fun in a South American port. Here auxiliary South American percussion instruments are used to add to the local flavor.
