VERY RARE PRIVATE EDITION: Peabody College and Vanderbilt University – The Contemporary College Wind Ensemble [1970]

Filed under: Avant / Experimental, School Bands

This was one of the first school band records I ever bought. I'd heard *of* Vanderbilt University, but never realized it was in Nashville. Hmm, Nashville… strange then to find this tantalizing blurb on the back:

"This album is a new departure in wind ensemble programming. Leading Nashville composers and arrangers have bridged many musical styles and periods to produce a kaleidoscopic survey of the possibilities of wind instrumentation. From Carmina Burana to MacArthur Park, from conventional sounds to the complex multi-ensemble (with moog synthesizer) of Irving Kane's Fourth Stream, this performance demonstrates the expressive possibilities inherent in the wind ensemble. The instrumentation of the group featured on this recording is that of the traditional wind, jazz and rock ensembles together with harpsichord and electronic tape."

Tucked inside the sleeve there was a program for "CENTURIES of SOUND from BACH to ROCK" dated Tuesday, April 28, 1970, and this record contains excerpts from the night's performances. I was kinda bummed that some of the titles listed on the program didn't make it onto the record… namely an electronic work from Gilbert Trythall, and a BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS cover!

Fortunately the other interesting sounding piece made it onto the record, FOURTH STREAM by Irving Kane. As it turns out, Irving Kane was a local Nashville studio musician and composer. He describes the piece in the program, "Pop music, "serious music, (quotes indicate dissatisfaction with terminology)– the dichotomy preoccupies me; how to love and do both. This piece seems to be an attempt to explicate a dilemma."

Fourth Stream takes up most of one side of the LP, so I've included two 5 minute excerpts of the entire 15 minute performance. Enjoy!

PLEASE FIND THESE SOUND FILES at WAXIDERMY SITE - THANKS.
