Hello and welcome! "Symphonic Band Performances" is a compilation of recordings from several high school and college bands that I played in including the TMEA (Texas) All State Band, the TMEA Region X All Region Band, the Interlochen Arts Academy National Music Camp, the Cal Poly Tech Band, San Luis Obispo, the USAF Golden West Band, and recordings from my h.s. band, Beaumont H.S. and a few band recordings that were passed down to me. Also included are various All State groups and college and university bands. I participated and played in the large majority of these recordings. There are no professional recordings here and every recording is Public Domain. Most are available for free download. Each song has been converted from the original analog or digital source and edited with Audacity or Dak software. In the majority of these recordings, I play the tenor sax or alto sax, b flat or e flat clarinet, or directing. I was drum major for 2 years in high school, I have a BA from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where I studied music ed, composition and theory. I had about 500 more recordings I was planning to digitize and upload, but this past Nov. 20th, my home was completely destroyed by fire, and all the contents, including all my music and instruments. So, this is it. Please feel free to post a comment here or on my member page. If you like, please become a fan by clicking "I'm a fan" below.

Story behind the song

The names for the four movements of the Liturgical Music for Band are taken from the Proper and Ordinary sections of the Mass. The Introit is sung as the celebrant and ministers enter the church and approach the altar. The cheerful peeling of bells and a majestic fanfare provide this entrance. The solemn Kyrie consists of three sections and originally each section was sung three times to represent the Trinity. The opening rhythm punctuates the triple speech inflections of the Ky-ri-e in the phrases of Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy) and Christe eleison (Christ have mercy). The third movement provides a joyful and spirited reflection of the rhythmic Glo-ri-a. It is a song of praise that begins ÃƒÂ¢aa€šÂ¬Ã…a€œGlory to God in the highest.ÃƒÂ¢aa€šÂ¬iÂ³Å’ The final Alleluia movement combines elements of the fugue and sonata form. The sonorous brass chords provide an initial proclamation of jubilation as the ascending woodwinds sound a supreme expression of joy, triumph, and thanksgiving. Liturgical Music for Band was commissioned by director John Savage and the Greenville County High School of Emporia, Virginia, and was first performed in 1963. 	                                Martin Mailman was born in New York City in 1932. He began as a trumpet player and went on to receive degrees in composition from the Eastman School of Music (B.M. 1954; M.M. 1955; Ph.D. 1960). His long and successful teaching career began at the U.S. Naval School of Music in 1955 and continued with assignments at Eastman, Brevard Music Center, West Virginia University, and East Carolina College. In 1966, he began teaching at the University of North Texas, where he is currently Regents Professor of Music and Composer-in-Residence. He is a prolific composer providing works of chamber music, film and television music, band, choral, and orchestral music, an opera, and a requiem. Dr. Mailman died at his home in Denton, Texas, USA on April 18, 2000, at the age of 67.
