Persichetti

//Pageant// Vincent Persichetti (1915-1987) Vincent Persichetti was born in Philadelphia and his early musical training began in Combs College of Music. He later attended the Curtis Institute of Music and reiceved his Master and Doctor of Music degrees from the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music. Persichetti composed a number of works for band. //Pageant// was commissioned by the American Bandmasters’ Association and was completed in 1953. It opens in slow tempos with a motive in the horn that is used throughout both section of the piece. The slow chordal section is succeeded by a lively “parade” section introduced by the snare drum. In the final portion of the work the principal subjects are developed simultaneously to a lively climax.

 * The Markings of a Conducting Composer: Vincent Persichetti's Marks in His Own Scores**

here is the excerpt from Andrew Mast for Pagaent, showing what marks Persichetti wrote in his own score for a rehearsal:

Here is an article: Gozza Coming to Terms with Persichetti’s Pageant

It begins like this: Vincent Persichetti’s third work for wind band, published by Carl Fischer in 1954 as the composer’s Opus 59, is a large-scale two-movement essay informed by two radically different compositional strategies and unified by a single germinal motive. The work was written a year before its publication and was premiered on 7 March 1953 with the composer conducting.
 * Coming to Terms with Persichetti’s //Pageant//** **David Goza**
 * Director of Orchestral Activities, the University of Arkansas Introduction, with a Refresher Course in Quartality and Pentatonicism**

To launch an analysis of //Pageant//, it might be wise to begin with a refresher course on how pentatonicism relates to quartality and how those relationships are expressed in set-theoretical terms. This is no place for a dissertation on set theory; my remarks are intended for clarification only and will by no means exhaust the topic.

The work’s opening motive, played by solo horn, already suggests a quartal vocabulary: this is easily enough seen by the fact that the three pitch classes used (B , F & C) can be spelled as a stack of perfect fourths. That this motive could easily be transposed to the black keys of the piano (e.g. D  –A  –E  ) means that the motive is also based on a subset of the pentatonic scale. And in fact the black keys of the piano – which constitute a pentatonic scale – can be re-spelled as a stack of perfect fourths: B , E  , A  , D  , G  (the order of flat signs in key signatures). The close relationship, then, between quartality and pentatonicism is surely obvious.

The intervallic structure of the pentatonic scale – which, as we have just seen, is also a quartal collection – may in set-theoretical terms be spelled from G  as (02479) or, if one starts on D , (02579). (You will find only the first of these listed in a comprehensive set-theory catalog, as it is in “best normal order” – i.e. with the smallest intervals clustered toward the beginning of the list; nevertheless, it is useful to list both spellings for reasons that should become clear shortly.) These two spellings of the pentatonic scale exhaust the possibilities so far as easy identifi- cation of subsets is concerned. We can thus see that the three-note sets (024) and (025) are both pentatonic – i.e. quartal – sets but (036) is not. And as we look carefully at Persichetti’s //Pageant// and discover how often we encounter sets (025) and (027), the usefulness of the foregoing refresher course will become readily apparent.

Once the solo horn has set forth the germinal motive B  –F–C 1 (027), Persichetti is positioned to give us a slow-paced essay in such counterpoint as might have been written during the sixteenth century: this is very archaic-sounding music (note: the hornist’s last note must be held //into// the clarinet entrance, as written). Although the horn solo suggests B  as tonic (and until confronted with evidence to the contrary, one assumes the //major// mode), the three-part counterpoint that follows confirms that supposition only loosely. It would, in fact, be more accurate to say that we have a contrapuntal section based on either B  Ionian or G Aeolian: both interpretations are equally supportable. The phrase structure is just as much in doubt as the tonic: I am most inclined to hear measure three as an extended upbeat to measure 4, where the structural downbeat lies; at the end of the day, however, I really can’t be sure. The counterpoint is managed so as to set forth a....

= symphony for band: = @http://www.umwindorchestra.com/2010/08/persichetti-symphony-no-6.html great info and youtube links... from University of Maryland Wind Orchestra web page excerpt: ... The four movements (Adagio allegro, Adagio sostenuto, Allegretto, and Vivace) have forms with traditional implications. The opening horn call and a following scale-wise passage in the slow introduction become the two principal themes (in reverse order) in the subsequent Allegro. The standard exposition, development, and recapitulation of sonata form are in the Allegro, although the traditional key relationships are not completely retained. The slow second movement is based on “Round Me Falls the Night,” from the composer’s Hymns and Responses for the Church Year. The third movement, in trio form, serves as the traditional dance movement and is followed by a finale in free rondo form, which draws thematic material from the preceding movements and concludes with a chord containing all 12 tones of the scale.
