On Saturday, September 17 at 7:30 pm, saxophonist and composer Christopher Brellochs presents a concert celebrating the CD release Quiet City, a world premiere recording of music by Aaron Copland and other American 20th century composers. The concert, at Christ Episcopal Church, 20 Carroll St, Poughkeepsie, features Brellochs and his new adaptation of Aaron Copland's Quiet City. Although Quiet City has been an orchestral favorite for 70 years, Brellochs recently discovered the unpublished manuscript of incidental music to the play. He adapted the score, using the original instrumentation and restoring musical themes that have never before been heard. At this concert, Brellochs will describe his journey with this composition from incidental music to world premiere recording.

Also performing are GRAMMY-nominated pianist Allison Brewster Franzetti, New York City Opera principal trumpet Donald Batchelder, clarinetist Mitchell Kriegler, and saxophonist Paul Cohen. The program features selections from the new CD Quiet City (Sono Luminus DSL-92135). The recording features American music by Aaron Copland, Leo Ornstein, Robert Aldridge, Walter Hartley, Lawson Lunde, and Seymour Barab.

Christopher Brellochs lives in the Hudson Valley where he is a professor and chair of the music program at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, NY. He earned a doctorate from Rutgers University, a master's degree from New York University, and a bachelor's degree from Ithaca College. His other recordings include solo CD, Apotheosis of the Saxophone (2008).

REVIEW by V. Vasan

Quiet City is anything but quiet, dull, or boring. Saxophonist Christopher Brellochs and his fellow musicians create an extremely enjoyable album of music by Copland and other American composers to whom they wish to give exposure. The title work is poignant, with the trumpet and clarinets contributing to the melancholy, somber mood: the musicians capture a sense of seriousness and quiet gravity that is at the same time accessible to the listener. When the music turns lively, Brellochs and the others are able to shift into that emotion easily, adding the bass clarinet for more color. Brellochs has done a good job both in his performing of the work and in its adaptation. 

WHAT'S NEW: "A Hint of Eroticism in the City", is the title of an article in DER SPIEGEL Online about my latest CD. SPIEGEL is a German news magazine and one of Europe's largest publications of its kind, with a weekly circulation of more than one million! They are similar to TIME magazine.

Audio excerpt of "Quiet City" available under "Music".

The Copland Estate and Boosey & Hawkes (Copland’s Publisher) have recognized the unique value and authentic nature of a new concert version of Aaron Copland’s Quiet City, and will be adding it to their catalogue in spring 2010.

Accomplished saxophonist, scholar, and teacher Christopher Brellochs currently has the exclusive right to perform and record this new version of Quiet City and is excited to share this amazing music with audiences. This historically relevant piece has taken an intriguing journey from incidental music to the concert stage. For the first time ever we can examine and enjoy one of the most beloved masterpieces by an iconic American composer in its entirety and for the original chamber ensemble.

In 1939 Aaron Copland composed incidental music for a play by Irwin Shaw called The Quiet City. The play was cancelled after two tryout performances. Although the original manuscript has never been published, it yielded material for two works. First was the well-known concert version of Quiet City (1940) for trumpet, English horn, and string orchestra; second was the Academy Award nominated film score to Our Town (1940). Both works utilized only a portion of the original music. Coinciding with the seventieth anniversary of Copland’s orchestral version of Quiet City, there is a new concert version by Christopher Brellochs that includes all the musical material from the unpublished manuscript and preserves the original chamber ensemble of trumpet, alto saxophone, Bb clarinet (doubling with bass clarinet), and piano. This is not an arrangement but a new adaptation including previously unheard, original music.

Performing on a Faculty Recital at the Dutchess Community College Theatre, Monday, November 23, 2009, 7:30-8:45pm. Free and open to the public. Also performing are Bonnie Ham, Heeja Questad, Suzanne Clune, Roy Coates, Ruthanne Schempf, Richard Devins, Vito Speranza, Larry Ham, Lou Pappas, and Scott Drewes.

I am very happy to announce that I have been hired as the Chair of the Music Certificate Program and Department Supervisor of Music at Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, New York (about 2 hours north of New York City). I will be teaching Music Theory I & II, Aural Skills, Music History, Jazz History, and conducting the Jazz Ensemble beginning in Fall 2008. I will also supervise the adjunct music faculty and be in charge of curriculum and recruiting. I started this job search exactly one year ago and want to especially thank all the people who stuck by me during the long haul, providing me with invaluable advice and recommendations - special thanks to William Berz, Maureen Hurd, Paul Cohen, Mark Terenzi, and Zende Clark. I will be moving to the area in August, so if anyone knows the area and has any recommendations on where to live (Poughkeepsie, Beacon, etc.) and suggestions on where to look for availability, that would be great. I am looking to rent a small house or apartment; of course as a musician, being able to play music - along with fairly easy access to NYC and the area - is important.

Just posted is a "live" recording of the first movement, and two variations from the second movement, of Glazounov's saxophone quartet. Also, recently added is a Christopher Brellochs arrangement of Dvorak's "Terzetto, op.74" for saxophone trio.

This fall has been very busy with the beginning of a new school year and research writing. I recently submitted an article called, "Aaron Copland's Use of the Saxophone in Wind Band Repertoire" to the Journal of the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles which should be published soon. There is also a concert adaption of mine currently being considered by Boosey & Hawkes for publication. I hope to have new music updates by next month!

Additional links to some amazing musicians have been added. If you don't already know about these people I urge you to investigate their music! More updates to follow in the coming weeks.
