Mississippi Wind Symphony: James's Sclater's Symphony No. 2 for Band (Mobile)
James Sclater's Symphony No. 2 for Band (Mobile).
I. Sea City (00:08)
II. Conflict - Tragedy (4:45)
III. Three Flags (10:00)
IV. Faith (14:28)
The Symphony No. 2 consists of four movements taken from Sclater’s Mobile Suite, commissioned by the City of Mobile Symphonic Band in 1977. Reflecting different aspects of his hometown, the first movement (“Sea City”) takes the listener to the grandness of America’s 12th largest port. While the symphony is not generally programmatic, the second movement (“Conflict-Tragedy”) ends with an explosion representing the Mobile Magazine Explosion of 1865, in which ammunition confiscated after the Civil War accidentally exploded, killing over 300 people and destroying most of the south side of Mobile through fire. The third movement (“Three Flags”) represents the immigrants from England, France, and Spain through delightful tunes and dances, while the final movement (“Faith”) represents the diversity of Mobile’s faith community with tunes from the Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant religions.
James Sclater, a native of Mobile, AL, retired from Mississippi College after 40 years of service. He received his B.M. and M.M. in Theory-Composition from the University of Southern Mississippi and a D.M.A. in Composition from the University of Texas. He has composed over 100 works, including 27 commissioned works, and his music has been performed throughout the United States, as well as in Europe and Russia. Dr. Sclater has received yearly ASCAP awards for serious music since 1991, and has won the Mississippi College Distinguished Arts & Sciences Faculty Lectureship twice, the Humanities Professor of the Year award, five Miss. Institute of Arts and Letters Awards, and the Ostwald Prize for Band Music.
The Mississippi Wind Symphony is an ensemble formed in 2001 in order to present the finest music available to the wind band to the public through high quality performances. It is made up of many of the leading wind and percussion instrumentalists from Mississippi. The MSWS presents a Free Summer Concert Series every year.

Driving through Mobile, Alabama
Mobile (/moʊˈbiːl/ moh-BEEL, French: [mɔbil] (About this soundlisten)) is the county seat of Mobile County, Alabama, United States. The population within the city limits was 195,111 as of the 2010 United States Census, making it the third most populous city in Alabama, the most populous in Mobile County, and the largest municipality on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans, Louisiana, and St. Petersburg, Florida.
Alabama's only saltwater port, Mobile is located on the Mobile River at the head of the Mobile Bay and the north-central Gulf Coast. The Port of Mobile has always played a key role in the economic health of the city, beginning with the settlement as an important trading center between the French colonists and Native Americans, down to its current role as the 12th-largest port in the United States.
Mobile is the principal municipality of the Mobile metropolitan area. This region of 412,992 residents is composed solely of Mobile County; it is the third-largest metropolitan statistical area in the state.Mobile is the largest city in the Mobile-Daphne−Fairhope CSA, with a total population of 604,726, the second largest in the state. As of 2011, the population within a 60-mile (100 km) radius of Mobile is 1,262,907.
Mobile was founded in 1702 by the French as the first capital of Louisiana. During its first 100 years, Mobile was a colony of France, then Britain, and lastly Spain. Mobile became a part of the United States in 1813, with the annexation by President James Madison of West Florida from Spain. The city surrendered to Federal forces on April 12, 1865, after Union victories at two forts protecting the city. This, along with the news of Johnston's surrender negotiations with Sherman, led Taylor to seek a meeting with his Union counterpart, Maj. Gen. Edward R. S. Canby. The two generals met several miles north of Mobile on May 2. After agreeing to a 48-hour truce, the generals enjoyed an al fresco luncheon of food, drink, and lively music. Canby offered Taylor the same terms agreed upon between Lee and Grant. Taylor accepted the terms and surrendered his command on May 4 at Citronelle, Alabama.
Considered one of the Gulf Coast's cultural centers, Mobile has several art museums, a symphony orchestra, professional opera, professional ballet company, and a large concentration of historic architecture. Mobile is known for having the oldest organized Carnival or Mardi Gras celebrations in the United States. Its French Catholic colonial settlers celebrated this festival from the first decade of the 18th century. Beginning in 1830, Mobile was host to the first formally organized Carnival mystic society to celebrate with a parade in the United States. (In New Orleans such a group is called a krewe.)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

ABOUT THE PIECE:
Rhythm! Rondo is a solo that focuses on musicality for the rudimental drummer. Very often young rudimental drummers want to emulate their favorite drumlines, which is a great thing. Sometimes, however, young drummers do this while sacrificing universal music fundamentals. It is important to treat rudimental music as you would any other type of music in terms of dynamics, shaping, phrasing, and articulation.

R Nathaniel Dett: The Ordering of Moses (1937)
Robert Nathaniel Dett (October 11, 1882 -- October 2, 1943), often known as R. Nathaniel Dett, was a composer in the United States and Canada. During his lifetime he was one of the most successful black composers, known for his use of folk songs and spirituals for choral and piano compositions in the romantic style.
He was among the first Black composers during the early years of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. His works often appeared among the programs of Will Marion Cook's New York Syncopated Orchestra. Dett himself performed at Carnegie Hall and at the Boston Symphony Hall as a pianist and choir director. (Ref: Wikipedia,)
Composition: The Ordering of Moses (1937)
Performers: Jeanette Walters, soprano; Carol Brice, contralto; John Miles, tenor and John Work, baritone with the Talladega College Choir, Frank Harrison, director
The Mobile Symphony Orchestra, William Levi Dawson, conductor (recorded 1968).
William Levi Dawson (September 26, 1899 -- May 2, 1990) was an African-American composer, choir director and professor.
Dawson was born in Anniston, Alabama. A graduate of the Horner Institute of Fine Arts with a Bachelor of Music, William Dawson later studied at the Chicago Musical College with professor Felix Borowski, and then at the American Conservatory of Music where he received his masters degree. Early in his career he served as a trombonist both with the Redpath Chautauqua and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. His teaching career began in the Kansas City public school system, which was later followed by a tenure with the Tuskegee Institute from 1931--1956. During this period, it was he who appointed a large number of faculty members that later became well known for their work in the field. Additionally, Dawson also developed the Tuskegee Institute Choir into an internationally renowned ensemble; they were invited to sing at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in 1932 for a week of six daily performances.
As a composer, Dawson began at a young age, and it was early on in his compositional career that his Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano was performed by the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra. Besides chamber music, he is also known for his contributions to both orchestral and choral literature. His best known works are arrangements and variations on spirituals; his Negro Folk Symphony of 1934 garnered a great deal of attention at its world premiere, under the direction of Leopold Stokowski with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The symphony was later revised in 1952 with greater African rhythms inspired by the composer's trip to West Africa. Dawson said that the composition was an attempt to convey the missing elements that were lost when Africans came into bondage outside their homeland. His most popular spirituals include Ezekiel Saw the Wheel, Jesus Walked the Lonesome Valley, Talk about a Child That Do Love Jesus and King Jesus Is a-Listening. (Ref: Wikipedia,)

On The Road With Neil Young 1973
In 1973, I accepted an offer to join the Road Crew on Neil Young's Canadian and US tour. The show had already come through Canada when I received the call. I was 21, a huge Neil Young fan, and soon on the road, haulin his band across the United States. There were six drivers, all friends from Weymouth, Massachusetts. We were driving three 42' Semi Tractor Trailers...two for sound and lighting equipment and a third which was a mobile,16-Track, recording studio.
The tour produced Neil Young's live album 'Time Fades Away.'
