Keywords:
Rossini (1)Beethoven (11)Root (3)Bear (16)A&W (1)Shopping Mall (1)Tribute (33)Food Court (1) ()
Description:
I wrote this for a very good high school band in 1999. I was asked to write a piece that touched on Newfoundland culture, but I was given great latitude in how I could interpret this. Newfoundland has a rich culture of traditional (i.e. folk) music, which I enjoy, but it's not really part of my heritage, being a CFA (come from away).

I have noticed that they're pretty big on shopping malls here however, which is hardly unique, but they are very much a part of contemporary life, and thus contemporary Newfoundland culture. Are you following my logic so far? Probably best not to try; the upshot is that instead of doing the expected and including some lovely folk tunes, I made this loosely based on a visit to a shopping mall and included the beginning of the justifiably famous and now classic A & W Root Bear theme. Fear not, litigiously-minded friends; I only used four notes, which could well be legal.

So, it's basically about a happy, happy stroll through the mall, beginning in the food court. I like the food court. There is tremendous variety there, and all at such reasonable prices!

This first section ends with a pompous fanfare in the brass that seems to be signalling the iminent arrival of something of importance, but since this is about a visit to the mall, nothing significant actually ensues. Instead, we hear a series of quotations from some of the most famous themes in classical music, treated irreverently, much like fast food or the soundtrack to a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Why? Why not? You can get anything you want at the wall, and... hell, I don't know why I put all those quotations in there. I thought the high school kids would get a kick out of playing them, I guess.

You get extra points if you can name all the classical tunes quoted.

Also, note the amazing clarinet solo; the kid was about 15 years old when he played it, and he's now doing a master's at Juilliard.

Duration: 6:17

Edit: I just changed the title back to its original, which just sounds better to me, and is a reference to a local mall (the "Avalon Mall"). I decided at the last minute to change its title when I submitted it because there were already a couple of "Ratings Picks" with "The Mist..." in the title, and I thought it might be confusing. But the new title, "Shop 'till You Drop," just didn't feel right, so I switched it back. Hope that's okay!

Lyrics:
Dum dum de dum, then it kind of continues from there.

Live recording at a concert.

I heard several of the nods to the famous themes, and some more subtle... the clarinet solo started with a slide through notes that, I didn't even know was possible, at least not that large an interval... the kid must be a monster... There is a humor in your composition that is also evident in so many of your comments... I always see humor as an a hint of intellegence... Anyone that knows you wouldn't even question that at this point...

This is deleightful, and I'll bet they had fun playing it... a very successful composition on many levels, from one of my favorite MJer's, and a composer of note...(no pun) puns are not an indication of intellegence

Thanks &mdash 02/03/07 - 08:10:41 PM
Thanks a lot, Scott! Yeah, that kid was indeed an amazing clarinettist. The solo that preceeded his was actually written for bassoon, but it was played on flute because I don't think they had a bassoon. I am very glad that you stopped by for a listen!

VERY enjoyable! &mdash 02/03/07 - 11:47:22 AM
What a great piece for band!

It has all the "band-like" elements one has come to love about that kind of ensemble: the catchy drums, the trilling clarinets, the fanfarish brass, the bells punctuating the melodies on top. This piece could even be adapted for marching band!

I loved the "Pink Pantherish" jazzy ascending chromatic bass-line (and so did the audience, obviously!) followed by the Tchaikovsky-4th-like brass fanfares.

Then there was the succession of familiar classical tune snippets from The Rite of Spring, Rhapsody in Blue, Afternoon of a Faun, Tristan & Isolde, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and William Tell. There may have been others, couched in more subtle terms, but those are the ones I noticed.

This piece was a thoroughly enjoyable listen, and it was very evident that the kids enjoyed playing it.

Has this piece been performed by other bands, that you know of? I would like to suggest that this piece to be included on a Sonora Winds concert in Tucson sometime in the future; I think it would be extremely well-received.

The Sonora Winds a very good ensemble comprised of mostly amateur adults, with some professional "ringers". I am not involved in this group myself, but know the conductor and a few of the musicians. Please let me know!

Thanks very much Cameron! Coming from you, someone who probably spent a good part of your formative years playing in wind bands, that really means a lot.

If it were done by a marching band (which, btw, would be one of the most amazing experiences of my life, I am sure; I've never even seen a marching band, except on TV!), everyone would have to collapse onto the field at the end. Which would get their uniforms dirty, so maybe it's not such a good idea after all...

That jazzy ascending (tuba) bass line is indeed "Pink Pantherish," as you say, but that's the oft-quoted first four notes of the A&W Root-Bear Theme, which I guess comes from the sixties; I was a kid when I heard it (so la ti do, do ti do di re la, re ra do ti, re di re ri mi do; always played by the tuba). Lines like this played by the tuba have an inherently humorous quality to them, I don't know why.

You nailed the "name that tune" portion of the show, as I would expect, but there is one more theme in that section that nobody has identified yet, and let me tell you, it's really famous! I kind of mangle it up in my arrangement, of course, which may be why it's a bit tough to identify.

Your offer to suggest this to the director of the Sonoma Winds is fantastic, thank you! It was never played again, mainly because yours truly is such a pathetic excuse for a self-promoter. That's one of those qualitites I always resolve to improve every New Year's Eve, but without much success.

Thanks again for your enthusiasm!

PDQ Bach! &mdash 02/03/07 - 06:39:43 PM
Love the classical mash-ups, and you did quite well, and your band played it beautifully too!

-Stravinsky - Rite of spring
-Gershwin - Rhapsody in blue
-Debussy - prelude to ... fawn
-Something very Prokofiev-sounding (end of Peter and the wolf?)
-Mozart - Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
-Rossini - William Tell Overture
OK, so I missed a few :( Wow, this is some amazing orchestration, awesome! Loved it, nice ending!
ttfn,

Hi Eduard, thanks as always for the comment! Your knowledge of classical repertoire is impressive in one so young (heh heh). You are indeed correct in naming the tunes as you did -- there are a couple you didn't name, however, in the spot that you say is Prokoviev-like... Hint: Cameron identified one of them in his list above, but there's another one there too, and it's not Prokoviev.

Hey, that's a pretty amazing music video clip you've got on your page! I just checked it out and was blown away!

This was a high school band?? &mdash 02/04/07 - 10:37:29 AM
They certainly didn't sound like any high school band I've listened to. They were mindblowing! I was very impressed with that young man's treatment of Gershwin.

God bless,

Rick

I'm glad you liked it, Rick. The group performing this was what is known around here as an "honours" band, meaning the best players from different schools around the small city in which I live (pop. 150,000) play in it. They did a very fine job for sure.



Thanks for the comment!

What a joy! &mdash 02/04/07 - 01:23:08 PM
You have no idea how much joy I got from listening to this recording. Marvellous! Fresh, uplifting composition, with every note spot-on. It really sounds like not only did you enjoy composing the music but all the players must have had a blast performing it! Great energy with just the right amount of musical breathers. And, yes quite a few references expertly woven into the piece, I couldn't name them all but let me just tell you that just by listening to your joyful and transparent arrangement I'm learning a lot, much more than from scrutinizing so many - at best "professionally" recorded, at worst simply "sterile" sounding - classical or soundtrack pieces with all the life energy missing. And especially for someone working on a small midi keyboard and a computer, hearing the unmatched quality and energy of a live recording, is like a breath of fresh air! Congratulations, loved it!

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks! &mdash 02/04/07 - 08:01:22 PM
Wow! What an extraordinarily heart-warming and generous comment! Thank you so much!

There is some further back-story to what I wrote in the description above, which is that when I wrote this I had just begun dating the woman I would go on to marry, and, after years of struggling with a heavy heart, my mood was probably better than it had ever been in my entire life. I think that had something to do with the silliness in the music.

Let's not forget the wonderful upbeat original theme you created to contain these tantalizing fun filled quotes. Their placement and arranging where playful and genuinely funny.
I too felt the joy the group and audience felt during this performance. Great listen Clark.

grand &mdash 02/04/07 - 04:26:11 PM
I played in a school band (brass) for five years playing the .. eh I'm not sure what it's called in English... cornet, but the soprano one? We call it "Ess" cornet. We never had challenging pieces like this one though, but I found pleasure in listening.

And I recognize the humor in your composition, that Scott points out, and agree with the hint of intelligence:) Of course you need one to recognize it as well;)

I find the composition and your arrangement pretty advanced and impressive. Deciding which parts all the different player get along the timeline is an incredible amount of work, and you must have a very organized mind to put that together.

Bravo!

Oh, and yes, I did very much enjoy this piece of art.

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 02/04/07 - 05:08:34 PM
Thanks for the comment! Do you still play cornet? I never played in a school band, or learned any wind instrument... it's one of those things I keep thinking I ought to learn one day. Es is German for Eb, so I guess you were playing the Eb cornet. As far as intelligence goes, my sense is that the average MacJammer is a very bright, especially you and Scott! :-)

P.S. There is still one un-named tune there, and it's arguably the most famous opening to a classical work in history!

The Great Root Bear &mdash 02/04/07 - 07:41:29 PM
Your comment made me realize what should have been obvious, namely that most people have no idea what "A&W" is, because I think it's either largely or exclusively a North American burger chain, and many people who do know what it is have no idea what I'm talking about when I mention the A&W Great Root Bear tuba jingle, either because it was used about thirty years ago and they weren't around (or they were around but have worked very hard to foget it), or because it wasn't used in TV commercials where they lived. I just looked it up in Wikipedia, and apparently the bumbling bear that became associated with that food chain was used primarily in Canada, at least initially.

But no matter; all a person need know is that the first four notes of this piece, played by the tuba, have a comical association for me (and probably only about a dozen others) because they were part of a long-running television commercial featuring some nut dressed up like a goofy-looking bear, skipping along the street.

Clark, you amaze me.... &mdash 02/04/07 - 08:53:40 PM
If we had the technology to download a mind for the benefit of posterity, I would nominate yours for one of the first ten slots... Your combination of great humor and great intelligence ought to be packaged for future generations, in a software box labeled "This is how to properly use a mind!" Or, at least, ONE of the proper ways...

And we could sell it... IN A MALL!... wouldn't that be special...

I don't have the musical vocabulary to describe what I'm hearing, but even without musical literacy or ANY skill at "name that quote", this piece just works as the musical evocation of a mall and food court...

Okay, I could pick out 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' and the 'Lone Ranger/William Tell' thing...

AND I've still got a teeny little A&W root beer mug from when I was a kid...

I'm always happy when I see your name in my email with a new tune up... This is why...

By the way, on the headphones this is a really good recording... lots of space and air and a sense of real instruments in a real place...

Another good one...

Ed

Tribute to the teacher &mdash 02/05/07 - 11:09:07 AM
The quotes from various classic moments are a great way to engage students and give them a (fast food) taste of the music with wit and energy. I have been to tons of school concerts and just the in-tune aspect of this performance is memorable, but the high quality of play is a testimony to your teaching. To honor your students with an arrangements of your own for them is very special. Kudos all around.

Thanks &mdash 02/06/07 - 08:29:23 PM
Thanks very much Tobin; much appreciated. FWIW, I wasn't the students' teacher; this was an "elite" wind band of the best high school musicians in the region, and my only contribution was to write this thing, while the conductor and the students did an amazing job with it... esp. that clarinet player! Thanks again.

Our resident Leroy Anderson of MacJams. Now you just have to sign us all up for parts in the upcoming "Concerts by the Sea" series. I'd sign up. Wouldn't mind getting a chance to get my classical chops on flute going again.

Concerts by the sea, eh? Sounds good to me! Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. I *wish* I had even a fraction of LeRoy Anderson's success; according to a 1953 study, Anderson was the American composer most performed by American orchestras (I learned this in Wikipedia)... which is pretty amazing. It'd be cool to hear something where you play flute. Maybe something to think about some time?

Mist everywhere. &mdash 02/07/07 - 05:44:31 PM
Seems like the word "mist" has a maigcal effect to a lot of the songs here this week and they're all up there in the ratings chart, too.... And this one I think tops them all, in my opinion.... very cinematic and professionally executed. I feel like I am sitting in a performance chamber with all those well-dressed and well-heeled members of the audience as they relish this caviar of music. This is the good life of music. I think I should stand and hail Bravo! after finishing this song. Whatan awesome experience. Man, you really gave something extremely special for us to listen to! This is my first all-10 rating ever given to anyone just because this creation is so monumental and grandiose.

Yay! All tunes have now been named. It's interesting that B's 5th was the last one identified... In my mind I wasn't exactly being subtle about it, but maybe the context/arrangement was different enough to throw some people off.

I'm glad you could hear the joy! I don't actually have a wind band or orchestra at my fingertips, though... I wish I did! This group was all high-school age kids (about ages 14-18) that had no connection to the university where I teach, and they never played this again as far as I know. In fact, no one has ever played this again, not even the wind band at my own university, thanks to my staggering incompetence in the area of self-promotion!

And name half of these tunes. This puts me in mind of late 60's films that you would watch in school about some cultural wonder of the world and would flash among all the different aspects of it. In this case Im seeing "The Megamall of Newfoundland" (and little jonny thinks that is swell!!!).

thanks &mdash 02/19/07 - 08:48:00 AM
Interesting comment... I remember watching 'travelogs' as a kid in the 60's -- films that they'd show you at school, or sometimes on television, in which a rich-voiced narrator would provide an extremely corny voice-over to various shots of 'local' scenery, 'local' being relative to whatever the travelog was about. I remember finding them both fascinating (because you'd get some glimpses into people's lives elsewhere in the world), and humorous (because the voice-over was always so corny). Later, when I became a composer, I thought it'd be a great idea to collaborate with a film-maker to make a mock travelog, complete with cheesy music and dated, corny voice-over. The Misty Mall... wasn't conceived in that spirit, but I think it may in fact have captured it anyway! Thanks for the comment.

You really grabbed my attention right at the beginning with that lead melody. 'Twas also quite fun to try and identify those quotations of yours. I recognized some of them, although it was my 15 year old, clarinet-playing little brother who recognized Rhapsody in Blue.

Anyway, like I said - A really fun piece and a real pleasure to listen to.

and I am listening to this for the third time as I write. I am not classically literate in the musical sense, just a folky, but I love your ear for this. The band is outstanding, as I have endured many high school concerts and never have heard this level of competence. That may be a tribute to your writing skills (which I suspect) or maybe you just got lucky, but this piece is definitely downloadable for the iPod. Great job, fun for the ear!

Thanks very much, Joe. I'll check out some of your music too. The high level of the performance is due entirely to the quality of the band and its conductor, although I very much appreciate the compliment! I think I mentioned this above somewhere, but the band is called an "honours" band, comprised of some of the best high school performers in the city. Mind you, it's a relatively small city (150,000), so I was definitely impressed by the performance.
