| Program Notes | Salus...Esto was composed to help celebrate thefiftieth anniversary of the Springfield Symphony Association. The words of the title are the first and last of the motto of the state of Missouri, "Salus popull suprema lex esto" (Let the well-being of the people be the supreme law). As part of the commemorative aspect of the piece the name of the city of its premiere - "Springfield" - occurs in Morse code in several of the rhythms. The work is in one movement, divided into five sections: Andante con moto - Scherzando - Andagio - Scherzando - Andante con moto. This arch-like shape allows for returns of musical material in varied ways the first and last sections are similiar, as are the second and fourth, with the middle being unique. The basic melody (which emerges in the solo clarinet in the first section) is derived from the opening "pyramid" in the brass. The full range of orchestral colors and dynamics is exploited, and the harmonic language, while centered on the pitch "E", spans the musical extremes of tonality and atonality, consonance and dissonance. Salus...Esto is dedicated to the Springfield Symphony Orchestra and to its Music Director, Charles Bontrager. |
