Capture of the U-505 composed by John Willmarth. Timpani Solo. For timpani solo. timpani. Book. Duration 8 minutes, 50 seconds. Published by Innovative Percussion. IP.T-JW-505. Composer's notes. "Capture of the U-505" is a programmatic piece influenced by Wagner's use of Leitmotif. a musical device in which a character, place, or idea is depicted through a musical theme. Throughout the work the top two drums represent the American Naval forces and the bottom drums the German U-boat, the U-505. The piece is comprised of four sections. The U-boat, The Chase, The Battle, and The Capture. The opening reveals the U-boat theme including the characteristic sound of the sonar ping. The one-handed roll technique depicts the rumble of the U-boat engines. The Chase is written in a canonic style in which one hand "chases" the other. The left hand plays the bottom drums in the key of Bb while the right hand plays the top drums in the key of F. Eventually an ostinato is unveiled which rhythmically spells out the distress signal "S.O.S." in Morse code. In The Battle, small cloth bags filled with coins are placed in the center of the drumhead producing an explosion sound when the head is struck. At "agitato" the performer should improvise for 10-20 seconds using, but not limited to, the given motives in a fragmented rhythmic style. devoid of an easily discernable pulse center. The texture of the improvisation should become increasingly dense throughout. The drums can be tuned to any pitch throughout this section. based on where the performer chooses to end the glissando effects. but should end with the drums in mid-range. A 4-line staff is also used to represent the four drums rather that delineate a specific pitch set. This section should depict the chaos, aggression, and ferocity of battle. An elongated glissando up the drums is used to portray the U-boat surfacing thus ending the battle. this phrase should be performed on the 32" and 29" drums. The Capture brings some of the beginning themes full circle. This time, however, the rumble of the engines is on the high drums representing the American convoy. The drums are tuned to a major tonality depicting a resolution of the conflict throughout. The sonar ping is no longer present but the motive carries on as the sub is towed away. In 1941, the United States entered World War II in response to Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. At this point in the war, the Germans had already unleashed their Blitzkrieg attack on London and, along with Japan and Italy, formed the Axis powers. Because shipping was the primary means of delivering supplies to Great Britain and Africa, the German submarine or U-boat became a major factor in what has come to be known as the Battle of the Atlantic. German U-boats were sinking merchant ships at an alarming rate. In fact the U-boats effect on the war was so profound that in a speech British Prime Minister Winston Churchill stated, "The only thing that ever really frightened me during the war was the U-boat peril. " In response to this threat, the United States formed hunter-killer task groups designed to seek out and destroy enemy subs. Captain Daniel Gallery led the group known as the 22.3 which was comprised of five destroyer escorts. USS Chatelain, USS Jenks, USS Flaherty, USS Pillsbury, USS Pope, and the aircraft carrier the USS Guadalcanal. Through intercepted radio transmissions the 22.3 was able to ascertain the general location of a U-boat off the coast of West Africa. After 2 weeks of searching unsuccessfully, the 22.3 broke off the hunt. On June 4th, 1944, as they headed towards Casablanca to refuel, the USS Chatelain suddenly made sonar contact with the U-505 less than 800 yards away. The American destroyer fired on the sub as it took evasive action. Wildcat fighters from the Guadalcanal marked the position of the U-505 by firing their machine guns into the water. The Chatelain was able to severely damage the U-505 using depth charges, forcing her to surface. It was a short but fierce battle in which the U-505 was only able to launch one torpedo. Once the sub surfaced, the U.S. convoy surrounded the sub and covered her in artillery fire. The crew abandoned ship and 58 German sailors were captured with only one casualty. Although the Germans took measures to scuttle the ship, an American salvage crew managed to board the boat, remove classified materials, and save the U-505 from sinking. The boat was secretly towed over 2,500 miles to a U.S. base at Bermuda in order to study German U-boat technology. Because of the bravery, courage, and daring of Commander Gallery and his team, the U.S. Navy was able to capture an enemy vessel at sea for the first time since the War of 1812. Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll, Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, released the following statement. "The Task Group's brilliant achievement in disabling, capturing, and towing to a United States base a modern enemy man-ofwar taken in combat on the high seas is a feat unprecedented in individual and group bravery, execution, and accomplishment in the Naval History of the United States.

Capture of the U-505 composed by John Willmarth. Timpani Solo. For timpani solo. pauker. Bog. Varighed 8 minutter, 50 sekunder. Udgivet af Innovative Percussion. IP.T-JW-505. Komponists noter. "Capture af U-505" er en programmatisk stykke påvirkes af Wagner brug af Leitmotif. en musikalsk enhed, hvor en karakter, sted eller idé er afbildet gennem en musikalsk tema. Gennem det arbejde de øverste to tromler repræsenterer de amerikanske Naval styrker og bunden trommer den tyske ubåd U-505. Stykket består af fire sektioner. U-båd, The Chase, The Battle og The Capture. Åbningen afslører U-båd tema, herunder den karakteristiske lyd af sonar ping. Den ene-hånds roll teknik skildrer rumlen af ​​U-bådmotorer. The Chase er skrevet i en kanonisk stil, hvor den ene hånd "jagter" den anden. Den venstre hånd spiller de nederste trommer i tonearten Bb mens højre hånd spiller top trommer i tonearten F. Til sidst en ostinat er afsløret som rytmisk præciserer nødsignal "SOS" i morsekode. I Slaget er små stofposer fyldt med mønter placeret i midten af ​​trommeskind producere en eksplosion lyd, når hovedet er ramt. På "agitato" den udøvende kunstner skal improvisere i 10-20 sekunder ved hjælp, men ikke begrænset til, de givne motiver i en fragmenteret rytmisk stil. blottet for en let mærkbar puls center. Teksturen af ​​improvisation bør blive stadig tæt i hele. Trommerne kan indstilles til enhver banen i dette afsnit. baseret på, hvor den udøvende kunstner vælger at afslutte glissando effekter. men skal ende med trommerne i mellemklassen. En 4-line personale er også brugt til at repræsentere de fire tromler snarere at afgrænse et bestemt tonehøjde sæt. Dette afsnit skal skildre det kaos, aggression og vildskab af kamp. En langstrakt glissando op trommerne bruges til at skildre den U-båd belægninger dermed slutter slaget. denne sætning bør udføres på de 32 "og 29" tromler. Capture bringer nogle af de begyndende temaer fuld cirkel. Denne gang dog, rumlen af ​​motorerne er på de høje trommer, der repræsenterer den amerikanske konvoj. Trommerne er tunet til en større tonalitet skildrer en løsning på konflikten i hele. Sonar ping er ikke længere til stede, men motivet fortsætter som sub er trukket væk. I 1941 USA trådte World War II som svar på Japans overraskelsesangreb på Pearl Harbor. På dette tidspunkt i krigen havde tyskerne allerede udløst deres Blitzkrieg angreb på London, og sammen med Japan og Italien, dannede aksemagterne. Fordi skibsfart var det primære middel til at levere forsyninger til Storbritannien og Afrika, den tyske ubåd eller U-båden blev en stor faktor i, hvad der er kommet for at blive kendt som Slaget om Atlanten. Tyske ubåde sank handelsskibe i et alarmerende tempo. Faktisk ubåde effekt på krigen var så dyb, at den britiske premierminister Winston Churchill i en tale sagde, "Det eneste, der virkelig skræmte mig under krigen var U-båd fare. "Som svar på denne trussel, dannede USA jæger-killer arbejdsgrupper designet til at opsøge og ødelægge fjendens subs. Kaptajn Daniel Gallery førte gruppen kendt som den 22.3, som bestod af fem destroyer ledsagere. USS Chatelain, USS Jenks, USS Flaherty, USS Pillsbury, USS Pope, og hangarskibet USS Guadalcanal. Gennem opsnappede radiotransmissioner var 22,3 i stand til at fastslå den generelle placering af en U-båd ud for Vestafrika. Efter 2 uger for at søge uden held, den 22.3 afbrød jagten. Den 4. juni 1944, da de ledes hen imod Casablanca for at tanke, USS Chatelain pludselig lavet sonar kontakt med U-505 mindre end 800 meter væk. Den amerikanske destroyer fyret på sub som det tog undvigemanøvre. Wildcat kæmpere fra Guadalcanal markerede position af U-505 ved at affyre deres maskingeværer i vandet. Den Chatelain var i stand til alvorligt at beskadige U-505 ved hjælp af dybdebomber, tvinger hende til overfladen. Det var en kort, men hård kamp, ​​hvor U-505 var kun i stand til at lancere en torpedo. Når sub dukket op, den amerikanske konvoj omringede sub og dækkede hende i artilleriild. Besætningen forladt skib og 58 tyske sømænd blev fanget med kun én ulykke. Selvom tyskerne tog skridt til at forbræt skibet, lykkedes en amerikansk bjærgning besætning til ombord i båden, klassificerede materialer fjerne og gemme U-505 fra at synke. Båden blev hemmeligt trukket end 2.500 miles til en amerikansk base på Bermuda for at studere tysk U-båd teknologi. På grund af den tapperhed, mod og dristighed af Commander Gallery og hans team, den amerikanske flåde var i stand til at fange en fjende skib på havet for første gang siden krigen i 1812. Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll, øverstkommanderende for USA Atlantic Fleet, udgivet følgende erklæring. "Arbejdsgruppen strålende præstation i invaliderende, opfange, og bugsering til et USA basere en moderne fjende menneske-ofwar taget i kamp på åbent hav er et kunststykke uden fortilfælde i individuelle og gruppe tapperhed, udførelse og realisering i Naval History of USA.
