Noite do Novo Nascimento

PERFORMANCE CONSORTIUM

Keveli Music has long been dedicated to forming consortium commissioning projects in order to give performing organizations the opportunity to participate in the commissioning process without paying large commissioning fees. This is accomplished by asking multiple members of a consortium to share the commissioning fee. Keveli Music acknowledges Dr. Christopher Chapman, who served as the consortium coordinator, the Boston Brass (the brass quintet for whom the work was composed) and the following band programs, and their directors for participating in the consortium commissioning process that brought Noite do Novo Nascimento to life:

OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY Wind Ensemble
Christopher Chapman, Director

AUBURN UNIVERSITY Symphonic Winds
Richard D. Good, Director

FULLERTON COLLEGE Symphonic Winds
Anthony Mazzaferro, Director

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Wind Ensemble
Frank Tracz, Director

TEXAS WOMAN’S UNIVERSITY Wind Symphony
Carter Biggers, Director

This new release, Scenic Meditations, features beautiful music, including a premiere work by Kevin Walczyk, performed by the Oregon State University Wind Ensemble conducted by Christopher Chapman. The Oregon State University Wind Ensemble is a 42-member ensemble that features the most outstanding brass, woodwind, and percussion players on campus. Focusing on the exploration of new literature and performing the masterworks of the wind band ensemble genre, the group’s latest commissions and consortium partnerships include works by award winning composers Kevin Walczyk, David Maslanka, Billy Childs, Dana Reason, and Paul D Miller. OSUWE concerts include numerous pieces of original music for wind ensemble by prominent contemporary wind band/ensemble composers. The OSUWE’s reputation of excellence extends well beyond campus, having recently been featured at the Taiwan Band Clinic, the Lawrence R. Sutherland Wind Festival, the Western International Band Clinic, and Carnegie Hall in New York City.
