From its connections to Thomas Jefferson and the Lewis and Clark expedition,to the amazing architectural, engineering, and construction work that brought it to life, Westward Sentinel celebrates the magnificent Gateway Arch in St. Louis. This showpiece for solo euphonium and concert band was written for the USAF Band of Mid-America. From the very first time I saw it with my own eyes, driving through St. Louis in 2000, I have been enthralled by the Gateway Arch. its almost incomprehensible size, its timeless simplicity. When asked to write a piece of music celebrating the Arch and its 40th anniversary, I was overwhelmed. There's simply too much to express, from its connections to Thomas Jefferson and the Lewis and Clark expedition to the amazing architectural, engineering, and construction work that brought it to life. How is it possible, in only one musical work, to capture all of that, much less the majesty of the Arch on a perfect fall day, or backlit by July fireworks, or gently illuminated, silent in the snow. Finally, I realized that rather than try to merely describe the Arch or comment on its history, I would need to explore my personal relationship with it, as a resident of the St. Louis metro area. Therefore, although Westward Sentinel is not exactly programmatic, there are a few images that stayed in my mind as I composed. The first section of the piece speaks to my relationship with the Midwest. I am a native of northern Illinois, where I grew up surrounded by cornfields. This is a significant personal image, of which I have only recently become aware. to stand alone and at peace in the center of a July cornfield under an endless blue sky, breathing the warm summer air, where the only sounds are the subtle hum of insects and the wind rustling the leaves. Now, in my southern Illinois home, there is still corn, but I can also actually see the Arch on the western horizon. Obviously, that changes the feel of my home. with the presence of the Arch, however distant, comes the promise of bustling, urban St. Louis. It is a stark contrast to what I feel as my roots and my place in the world, and yet the Arch definitely calls to me. I love to drive into St. Louis on I-64. The second section of the piece speaks to this journey. Along that stretch of highway between Edwardsville and downtown St. Louis, the Arch teasingly ducks behind hills and buildings, only to burst back into sight, sparkling in the sun. Then, where I-64 crosses the Mississippi River, the first sight of the Arch in its entirety - steadfast at its post on the western bank, looming over the highway - is nothing short of glorious. Finally, there is the first breathless moment of standing at the base of the Arch, trying to take in its enormity. That's impossible - it's so big. I will always remember the first time I did this, though. all I could think was, 'Wow '. ' And then the trip home, with the Arch at my back. a reassuring guardian, a westward sentinel.

Fra dens forbindelser til Thomas Jefferson og Lewis og Clark ekspeditionen, til den fantastiske arkitektur, ingeniørarbejde og byggearbejde, der bragte den til live, Westward Sentinel fejrer den storslåede Gateway Arch i St. Louis. Denne udstillingsgenstand for solo euphonium og Harmoniorkester blev skrevet til USAF Band of Mid-America. Fra den allerførste gang jeg så det med mine egne øjne, kørsel gennem St. Louis i 2000, har jeg været betaget af Gateway Arch. sin næsten uforståelig størrelse, dens tidløse enkelhed. Når bedt om at skrive et stykke musik fejrer Arch og dets 40 års jubilæum, var jeg overvældet. Der er simpelthen for meget til at udtrykke, fra dens forbindelser til Thomas Jefferson og Lewis og Clark ekspeditionen til den fantastiske arkitektur, ingeniørarbejde og byggearbejde, der bragte den til live. Hvordan er det muligt, kun i én musikværk, at fange alle, at langt mindre majestæt Arch på en perfekt efterårsdag, eller modlys ved juli fyrværkeri, eller forsigtigt belyst, tavs i sneen. Endelig indså jeg, at snarere end at forsøge at blot beskrive Arch eller kommentere på sin historie, ville jeg nødt til at udforske mit personlige forhold til det, som er bosiddende i St. Louis metro område. Så selv om Westward Sentinel er ikke ligefrem programmatisk, er der et par billeder, der opholdt sig i mit sind, da jeg komponeret. Det første afsnit af stykket taler til mit forhold til Midtvesten. Jeg er en indfødt i det nordlige Illinois, hvor jeg voksede op omgivet af kornmarker. Dette er en betydelig personlig billede, som jeg har først for nylig blevet opmærksom. at stå alene og i fred i centrum af en juli kornmark under en endeløs blå himmel, vejrtrækning den varme sommer luften, hvor de eneste lyde er den subtile brummen af ​​insekter og vinden raslende blade. Nu, i mit sydlige Illinois hjem, er der stadig majs, men jeg kan også faktisk se Arch på den vestlige horisont. Det er klart, der ændrer fornemmelsen af ​​mit hjem. med tilstedeværelsen af ​​Arch dog fjern, kommer løftet om travle, urban St. Louis. Det er en skarp kontrast til, hvad jeg føler som mine rødder og min plads i verden, og alligevel Arch absolut kalder på mig. Jeg elsker at køre ind i St. Louis på I-64. Det andet afsnit af stykket taler til denne rejse. Langs denne strækning af motorvejen mellem Edwardsville og downtown St. Louis, Arch drillende ænder bag bakker og bygninger, kun for at briste igen til syne, mousserende i solen. Så hvor I-64 krydser Mississippi-floden, den første øjekast af Arch i sin helhed - urokkelig på sin post på den vestlige bred, truende over motorvejen - er intet mindre glorværdige. Endelig er der den første forpustet øjeblik stående ved foden af ​​Arch, forsøger at tage i sin uhyrlighed. Det er umuligt - det er så stort. Jeg vil altid huske den første gang jeg gjorde det, selv om. alt hvad jeg kunne tænke var: "Wow '. 'Og så turen hjem, med Arch på min ryg. en beroligende værge, en mod vest sentinel.
