Reflections on the Mississippi

for Tuba and Symphonic Band

Full Score
Individual parts are available for rental only.

Reflections on the Mississippi (2015) for tuba and symphonic band was commissioned and premiered by the University of Michigan Symphony Band, conducted by Michael Haithcock, with Carol Jantsch, tuba (Philadelphia Orchestra), at the University of Michigan Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor on February 6, 2015. The concerto, composed in memory of his father, Willis Daugherty (1929-2011), is a musical reflection on family trips during Michael's childhood to the Mississippi River near McGregor, Iowa. In July and October 2012, Daugherty returned to the Mississippi River to make two road trips along the “Great River Road” from McGregor to Hannibal, Missouri to collect musical ideas. The result is one of the composer's most poignant and powerful musical works to date. In this 22-minute tuba concerto, Daugherty has created a unique sound world that brilliantly captures and reflects the “sound and the fury” of the Mississippi River. The tuba soloist plays soulful melodies, jarring rhythms, prayerful chants and a New Orleans “second line” that propels the concerto to a virtuosic conclusion.

Pilgrim Song

Pilgrim Song is a powerful and heartfelt arrangement of a traditional American tune and lyrics. The piano part (also included in the orchestral version) adds further colour and texture with continuously rolling segments, syncopated countermelodies, and the usage of different registers. The lyrics speaks of the glory of heaven and the risen life, and welcomes the day of judgement; this text is set strophically to a simple, broadly lilting melody, before the voices clear into a grander choral consistency with imitative motifs and a climactic modulation.

An accompaniment for orchestra is available for rental by contacting Oxford University Press.

Orchestration:
Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, 4 Horns, Harp, Piano, Strings

    Trolls!

    Trolls are magical beings in Scandinavian folk tales that are known for being slow and not particularly bright. This piece shows both sides of the story: trolls as the destructive, brutal thugs of the magical world, and the somewhat silly and dim-witted creatures found in books and movies. This is Peter Terry’s first piece in the Carl Fischer catalogue.
