SUMMARY:The Sequoia Trio\, by Jenni Brandon\, Performed by Herine Coetzee Koschak and the Fifth House Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Sequoia Trio\, by Jenni Brandon\, is performed by Herine Coetzee Koschak and the Fifth House Ensemble in their concert Sounds of Nature and City at the Epiphany Center for the Arts on Sunday\, December 5\, 2021 at 3:00pm. The Epiphany Center is located at 201 S Ashland Ave Chicago\, IL 60607. \nPraised by the New York Times for its “conviction\, authority\, and finesse\,” the Chicago-based Fifth House Ensemble (5HE) harnesses the collaborative spirit of chamber music to reach beyond the traditionally perceived limits of classical music. 5HE curates this series of intimate performances at Epiphany Center for the Arts\, celebrating works new and old\, amplifying voices of the less heard\, and delighting in the sheer joy of sound exploration with all who come along for the ride. \nSounds of Nature and City PROGRAM:\nCrankshaft – Robbie McCarthy\nUrban/Country Meditation – Pauline Oliveros\, arr. Elizandro Garcia-Montoya\nSequoia Trio – Jenni Brandon\nMovement for String Trio – Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson\nWhat Have You Done (Who Are You?) – Jordyn Davis\nDivertimento a tre – Franz Joseph Haydn\nQuartet for Oboe\, Clarinet\, Viola\, Bassoon – Ernest Toch \nMUSICIANS:\nGrace Hong\, oboe\nElizandro Garcia-Montoya\, clarinet\nGalina Kiep\, bassoon\nParker Nelson\, horn\nKhelsey Zarraga\, violin\nMason Spencer\, viola\nHerine Koschak\, cello \n“I had returned from a trip to Sequoia National Park in July of 2008 and was inspired by the great trees. I knew that these would be the basis for the new work\, and in searching for a voice of these great trees I turned to the words of John Muir for inspiration” Jenni Brandon. \nEach movement of The Sequoia Trio (oboe\, clarinet\, bassoon sheet music) takes a quote about Sequoia trees from John Muir’s book The Yosemite and uses it to inspire the music. The opening waving pattern creates the gentle breeze as the growth of the tree starts in the bassoon\, moving through the clarinet and is carried all the way to the top of the tree through the oboe. Movement two is sassy and jazzy\, describing the resilient attitude that young trees must maintain in order to survive. “The Three Graces” plays on the idea of the three instruments in the ensemble and Muir’s own reference to Greek mythology. Finally\, in “The Noble Trees” the instruments play a hymn-like tribute to the largest living things on earth. The two “Tree Interludes” represent the individual voice of a tree and its story. \nThis piece was written during my composer residency with the Vientos Trio during 2008-2009. \nThis work appears on two CDs:\nSongs Of California: Music for Winds and Piano\, released by Jenni Brandon \nFrom Earth & Sky: Music of Jenni Brandon on the Blue Griffin Recording label \nMovement I.  Sequoiadendron giganteum: The Big Tree\n“Southward the giants become more and more irrepressibly jubilant\, heaving their massive crowns into the sky from every ridge and slope\, waving onward in graceful compliance with the complicated topography of the region.” \nTree Interlude One \nMovement II.  “A crowd of hopeful young trees and saplings…”\n“But here for every old storm-beaten giant there are many in their prime and for each of these a crowd of hopeful young trees and saplings\, growing vigorously on moraines\, rocky ledges\, along water courses and meadows.” \nMovement III.  The Three Graces\n“Groups of two or three (sequoias) are often found standing close together…They are called “loving couples\,” “three graces\,” etc… By the time they are full-grown their trunks will touch and crowd against each other…” \nTree Interlude Two \nMovement IV.  The Noble Trees\n“…the Big Trees (sequoia gigantean)\, the king of all the conifers in the world\, ‘the noblest of the noble race.’” \n– Quotes taken from The Yosemite\, 1912\nby John Muir\nText is in the public domain.
