Program Listing:

Shadows Ablaze (2015) Kathryn Salfelder (b. 1987)

Program Note:

Shadows Ablaze was composed following a six-month study of exclusively 15th-century Franco-Flemish and
Italian repertoire. I was captivated by the music of Johannes Ockeghem (c.1420-1497) for its memorable lyricism
and contrapuntal craft. Ockeghem's three-voice chanson, "D'un autre amer," is the foundation of Shadows Ablaze.

When quoting a respected composer's work, it is tempting to put his music on a pedestal, to glorify it in the context
of one's own new and "lesser" music. Here, the three glockenspiels capture this ideal, illuminating fragments of
Ockeghem's song in its original, unaltered form. However, the surrounding "new" music is also the "old" chanson,
now deconstructed: the tenor reharmonized as the opening low brass chorale, the superius voice inverted and
transformed into a descant, and the contratenor re-rhythmicized into woodwind flourishes. These shadows of the
chanson - while each traceable to the source - no longer revere their original composer, but rather assume their own
identities, permeating every bar of the work.

Shadows Ablaze is a consortium commission for the 2015 Japan Wind Ensemble Conductors Conference
(JWECC).

Performance Notes:

Accidentals remain in effect for the duration of the measure at the octave in which they occur. They are sometimes
rewritten within a measure for clarity.

Dotted slurs indicate phrasing.

Tenuto marks indicate both weight and length.

Shadows Ablaze may be performed one-on-a-part or with additional performers at the conductor's discretion.

Performance time: c. 7 minutes
