Preface When considering persons in the music profession who have made significant contributions to the wind band world in the second half of the twentieth century, many conductors, writers, teachers, and composers come to mind. Undoubtedly, Alfred Reed is one of those persons. To some, Reed is a composer. To others he is known as a conductor, clinician, author, or scholar. Still others may Jiave known him as an administrator, consultant, publisher, editor, performer, or teacher. The breadth of Reed's contributions is apparent in the scope of his life pursuits, not to mention the depth of his contributions in many of these areas. Reed h a s more t h a n 250 published works, 70 of which were commissions. His compositions include works for a wide variety of voices and instruments and is still growing. The majority of Reed's compositions have been for the wind band. Over the past 14 years, he has made over 245 appearances as a guest conductor and clinician, including appearances in 49 states in the United States and in foreign countries such as Canada, J a p a n , Spain, Mexico, Holland, Australia, Italy, Austria, and Norway. Reed currently is the principal guest conductor of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, an organization t h a t has made a commitment to record all of his published works for wind band. He followed Frederick Fennell as conductor of the University of Miami Wind Ensemble in 1980. Reed retired from the faculty of the University of Miami School of Music in the spring of 1993 and spends approximately half of each year making appearances worldwide and the other half at his home in Coral Gables, Florida. As an author, Reed has published some 50 articles for major music journals and magazines in the United States. In addition, he has written more than 60 columns for the Canadian Band Journal.

Preface
In 1966, Reed and William F. Lee, the former dean of the School of Music at the University of Miami, established an innovative program in music merchandising. This program, the first in the nation, remained under Reed's direction until his retirement. He also h a s served as a consultant for 19 colleges and universities seeking to establish courses and programs in the music industry field. His involvement in music publishing began in 1953 with his work at Charles H. Hansen Music Publishing Corporation, and continued during his 27 years as a professor at the University of Miami where he was founding director of the University of Miami Music Publications (UMMP). The knowledge and experience gained during his 13 years as executive editor Charles H. Hansen Music Publishing Corporation made Reed a viable candidate to create a music publishing operation while teaching at the University of Miami. This volume is organized into the following sections: 1. The Biography. Because so little has been published about the life of the composer, the biography section is rather extensive. Main topics include, the "Early Years, Military Years, Juilliard Years, NBC and ABC Years, The Baylor Years, The Hansen Years, The University of Miami Years, J a p a n Years, Beyond the University of Miami Years, the World-Wide Reach." The biography was prepared with the help of Alfred Reed and some of his closest friends and colleagues. 2. List of Works and Premieres. Each work contains a work number (i.e., W l , W2, etc.) and is classified by genre. Included in the list is information, when available, about the date of the composition, duration, performance medium, and information related to the commission and dedication, premiere and publication. 3. The Discography. Includes both non-commercially and commercially available sound recordings and is arranged alphabetically and chronologically within t h a t order. Each citation contains a discography number (i.e., D l , D2, etc.) and includes the manufactures' label and label number, date and contents. 4. The Bibliography. A comprehensive bibliography of writings by and about Reed. The citations are arranged alphabetically by author, or by title in cases where no author is cited. Each citation is given a citation number (i.e., B l , B2, etc.) and includes a short annotation.

Appendices to the volume provide an alphabetical and chronological listing of Reed's works. The volume concludes with an index of names and titles. All sections of the volume are cross-referenced with each other, except for the biography. Information about how to completely utilize the cross-references is provided at the beginning of each section. Given the impact Alfred Reed has had on the wind band and wind band repertoire, his life and contributions deserve to be documented. Reed continues to be a driving force and advocate for the wind band, and his contributions to the literature of the wind band make him a force to be reckoned with in this contemporary medium of musical expression. All information is complete, except where noted, as of October 1, 1998. It is hoped t h a t this volume will be of benefit to composers, conductors, performers, and audience members who are interested in wind band music and Alfred Reed.

Biography THE EARLY YEARS (1921-1942) My family on my father's side, as nearly as I've been able to trace them back, was largely middle class accountants, merchants, and some lawyers. My mother's side was largely working class, as far as I know, and there were no musicians, dancers, entertainers, or actors on t h a t side of the family either. So, I guess I'm one of those strange collections of genes all falling in the right direction. 1 The setting is New York City, the Chelsea section on 33rd Street between Second and Third avenues, and the time is the winter of 1921. Standing on the sidewalk, one can look up to an a p a r t m e n t where a local restaurateur and his wife have just become the proud parents of a new baby boy. Five years later, this little boy can be seen sitting on the floor, playing with his favorite blocks, a n d listening to one of the Beethoven symphonies as it plays on the gramophone. Seventy-one years later this little boy has become one of the most recognized and performed wind band composers of the second half of the twentieth century. On this particular evening, in 1992, the J a p a n e s e Ground Self-defense Forces Band is performing a concert under the direction of this eminent American composer. As the final bows are taking place, the guest conductor is presented with a uniform representing his induction as an honorary Captain in this organization. This man is Alfred Reed. The life of Alfred Reed has unfolded at a sometimes astounding rate. To begin to fully understand how he became such a prominent individual, a good place to start is some years prior to this

blessed event, with his parents in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Carl Friedemann von Mark, Reed's father, and Elizabeth Strasser, Reed's mother, each immigrated to the United States from Vienna, Austria around the beginning of the twentieth century. Reed's mother arrived in 1899, but it was not until eleven years later, in 1910, t h a t Reed's father landed on American soil. They met and were married during World War I. Carl Friedemann von Mark, the middle child of five, was a life long restaurateur who had work experience in every facet of his profession. Besides holding positions as a dishwasher and bus boy, a s s i s t a n t waiter, waiter, head waiter, and then maitre d'. He w a s also a singing waiter. His untrained, but exceptional tenor voice made it possible for him to acquire jobs in some of the most famous r e s t a u r a n t s in New York City, including Little Hungary, the Cafe Royale, and Feltman's on Coney Island. At Feltman's, he sang in a waiters' ensemble with Irving Berlin and Walter Winchell. Sometime during World War I, Carl bought his own establishment in New York City, the Delicatessen Restaurant, but after World War I, when a recession was in full swing, the r e s t a u r a n t failed, and Reed's father returned to being a waiter. Elizabeth Strasser, the oldest of 13 children and the daughter of a Prussian restaurateur, worked as a housewife a n d bookkeeper in the family r e s t a u r a n t during the time t h a t Alfred's father was the owner. Her marriage to Carl was her second. After arriving in the United States she had married an Italian m a n a n d had a son. When this first marriage ended, Strasser's first h u s b a n d took the child with him to Italy. Reed states, with emotion in his voice t h a t "there has been no communication ever since, so I don't have the slightest idea if they survived the War, or the Fascist regime, but I did have a stepbrother for a while." 2 Nevertheless, Alfred was raised as an only child. Elizabeth Strasser grew up in an atmosphere in which discipline was very important, and she carried this discipline into her own household. Because she was the oldest child, she had been required to assume much of the responsibility for helping to raise her brothers and sisters. Reed speaks about his mother with a great deal of respect and love, but sometimes with ill will. "I was an only child, and my mother was, and there is no other word for it, domineering and believed t h a t a child should stay close to home a n d be supervised all the time." 3 In the midst of the First World War, because of the increasing anti-German sentiment, Carl Friedemann von Mark decided to change the family name to Friedman, and on J a n u a r y 2 5 , 1921, Alfred Friedman was born to Carl and Elizabeth Friedman.
'Biography
3
Young Alfred spent the first six years of his life in an apartment at 234 East 33rd Street in New York City t h a t he called a "cold water railroad flat." In the central room of this a p a r t m e n t there was a Columbia Gramophone. Alfred's father collected all the latest recordings of operatic and symphonic music which he played on the gramophone almost constantly. Reed credits his father's record collection as being the first training and inspiration for his musical career. "Those records, I think, were a very crucial part of my younger life of making me acquainted with so-called good music, in a way t h a t I never had to regard it as a duty or a subject to be learned." 4 During the mid-1930s the Metropolitan Opera and the NBC Symphony began to broadcast on the radio. However, Alfred was never able to hear these musical performances because his family did not own a radio. Other t h a n the family record collection, his exposure to music at a young age was very limited. Up until the age of ten, Reed says, "the record collection, and the fact t h a t my father would sing many times when I was home, I guess, were the only real musical influences t h a t I had." 5 "By the time I went to high school I already knew so much of the standard symphonic and operatic repertoire because, you see, I grew up with it, it was always going on in the house." 6 Carl Friedeman was the kind of father t h a t wanted his only child to develop friendships, play, grow, and learn without placing too many restrictions or guidelines on him. It was Carl who unequivocally exercised the most influence on young Alfred. Reed's father was primarily responsible for encouraging his son's musical development. Because of his occupation as a singing waiter, he met many musicians, including many of his son's future teachers. On the other hand, Alfred's mother, because of her overprotective nature, did not encourage Alfred's musical pursuits. Because he was an only child and because his mother w a s usually at home and not working, they were constantly together. Mrs. Friedman wished never to bring another child into the world because of the state of the economy, so Reed remained an only child, possibly contributing to her overprotectivness. One could also speculate t h a t because of the loss of her first child, as a result of her divorce from the Italian, Mrs. Friedman was more cautious with him. Perhaps she was determined to never lose another child, no matter w h a t the circumstances. Perhaps her fear caused her to be overprotective, and contributed to Alfred's need to try to get away from her. When he attempted to "escape" she would hold on tighter, and he would continue to pull away harder. Despite her overprotective nature, Mrs. Friedman exercised a great deal of influence on her son. Young Alfred's mother would read to him in German in order to insure t h a t he knew about his heritage and in hope t h a t he would

become bilingual - an "education" which has served him well over the years. At this young age he tried very hard to communicate in English because, he says, "as children will, whenever I made a mistake in pronunciation thinking back and forth between the two languages they certainly ridiculed me and made me the butt of a good deal of humor. I did not always like that." 7 Alfred began singing at a very early age. His parents told him t h a t by the age of two or three he sang everywhere he went, even while he was going to the bathroom. "I didn't have a very good voice, I still don't. I think t h a t I ruined it in my early years by trying to imitate too many orchestral instruments." 8 About the time t h a t young Alfred was to begin kindergarten, the New York City Board of Education built P. S. 116 a short distance away, and on the s a m e side of the street as the family apartment. Alfred's mother was very happy t h a t her son would not need to cross a street to get to school. He remembers having general classroom music at his elementary school. Beyond his general music experience the kindergarten teacher encouraged singing in her classroom by playing piano while the children sang. Alfred was never active in any musical organizations while in elementary, junior, or senior high school. In addition, the Friedman family rarely attended concerts or theater events during the young life of Alfred. Because his mother's extended illness depleted the family savings and consumed most of their income, they had very little money for attending concerts, shows, operas, and the theater. In 1928, at the age of seven, doctors began to notice t h a t young Alfred was becoming unusually thin and weak, perhaps because of a lack of fresh air and space to play and be active; apparently, the "concrete jungle" of New York City was adversely affecting him. The family subsequently moved to the Bronx section of New York. They moved into another three-room apartment, at 2078 Mohegan Avenue, because it was only one and one-half blocks from P. S. 67, where young Alfred was to finish his elementary education. After this move, his health improved dramatically. In 1931, when Alfred was ten years old, the family moved again in order for him to attend the brand new Herman Ridder Junior High, P. S. 98 on Boston Road. Reed's family moved into yet another three-room apartment at 1674 Boston Road, which rented for $27.00 per month. "My father, in deference to my mother's insistence, whenever I went to a new school, moved to a place near there." 9 Alfred's love for great literature developed during this time in his life. He credits his junior high school English teacher for instilling an interest in literature which has influenced his composition throughout the years. He can still quote passages from Nicholas
Biography 5 Nickleby, Wreck of the Hesperus and Trees by Joyce Kilmer, all of which he studied while in junior high school. Because he progressed through his elementary and secondary school education at an accelerated rate, he found himself around older children most of the time and usually the youngest member of his peer group. Young Alfred had no trouble competing academically, but did have trouble relating to the older children. This may have contributed, again, to his mother's need to always protect or shield him from other children. His father, however, felt t h a t being the youngest member in a peer group increased learning and socialization, because in t h a t situation a person either learned or did not "survive." This is the environment in which young Alfred developed. He related to the older children very well and did learn and survive. This caused the development of a very sensitive side in his character, because as the youngest member of any peer group one is sometimes subjected to different treatment and more work t h a n older members. He was often the subject of joking and teasing, and often he had to chase the ball farther t h a n his friends - literally and figuratively. This sensitivity is still present in Reed's personality, but he h a s learned to use it to his advantage, especially while composing, suppressing what could be a sometimes unattractive characteristic. He has been able to use this sensitivity while composing all the expressive melodic lines t h a t permeate his compositions. He has learned to suppress the sensitivity when faced with the typical criticism and jealousy t h a t anyone is faced with who excels in his field. He has been able to ignore his critics, even though he does acknowledge them, and pursue his composing in his own way. As Alfred approached his teenage years and began to explore his interest and talent in music, he gradually associated less with other children in order to engage in these pursuits. Aside from music, he spent much time reading and cutting pictures out of magazines to construct his own picture journals. "I was not one to go out with the guys. I was not one of those who was precociously interested in sex. I always had the feeling t h a t what I wanted was not what most of my friends wanted." 10 While young Alfred was in junior high school, a representative from the Conn Corporation demonstrated the woodwind and brass instruments. This demonstration was given to encourage students to participate in the school's instrumental music program. "Just like the little boy in the 'Music Man,' I fell in love with t h a t round shiny cornet." 1 1 He went home and told his parents t h a t he wanted to play the clarinet, inadvertently mixing up the names. After going home and telling his parents t h a t he wanted to play the clarinet, Mr.
Friedman took Alfred to the New York Schools of Music to get his

instrument. He told the salesman t h a t he wanted to play the clarinet and was taken over to the display case t h a t contained all the woodwind instruments. Realizing t h a t this was not the instrument t h a t he wanted to play, he described the cornet to the salesman who returned with the instrument and a method book. In 1931, Mr. Friedman enrolled his son in a private institution known as the New York Schools of Music. His cornet lessons cost 50 cents each. Alfred studied here probably because it was the most inexpensive place to take lessons, and the use of an i n s t r u m e n t was provided at no additional charge. Alfred had t a k e n not more t h a n three lessons when his father met a trumpet player, Abraham Nussbaum, who was also a conductor at the Metropolitan Opera. Mr. Friedman told Nussbaum t h a t his son was taking cornet lessons at the New York Schools of Music. Nussbaum said this institution was a money making racket and would not provide the highest quality instruction; therefore, he offered to teach Alfred. The first requirement imposed on Alfred when he began studying was to give up playing all sports, because Nussbaum was very concerned about preventing any injury to his brass player's teeth. Mrs. Friedman was very supportive of Nussbaum's wishes. "That was all my mother had to hear, so from t h a t moment on I never played baseball or football anymore." 1 2 Studying with this new teacher proved to be more expensive t h a n before. Nussbaum wanted to teach trumpet and not cornet, and this is when Alfred's father purchased his son's first instrument, a Holton, silver-plated trumpet, for $40.00. Once a week N u s s b a u m would come to the family's apartment and be paid $2.00 plus dinner after the lesson. Even though he was taking lessons, Alfred never participated in any school ensembles because Nussbaum was never in favor of his students placing any undue stress on their embouchure, especially by playing in the marching band. These lessons continued until Reed was 13. Alfred next studied with Howard Schantzer, who was a professional trumpet player and an "amazing personality." Schantzer lost his right arm in an accident, but continued to be in great demand as a trumpet player in New York. Reed respected Schantzer's devotion to his playing and his ability to overcome his disability. However, he felt t h a t he was not progressing as quickly a s he could. In retrospect, Reed believed t h a t Schantzer was accepting students to supplement his other income and not because he w a s interested in teaching. Alfred studied with Schantzer only for a brief time before his father found another teacher named Irving "Rudy" Mink. Mink was at the time playing trumpet in a pit orchestra on Broadway and accepted Reed as a student as a favor to his father. According to Reed, Mink was also not interested in establishing

himself as a serious teacher. In fact, Reed was only taught some standard popular tunes t h a t would be useful for him to know as a professional trumpet player. Reed did not agree with Mink's choice of repertoire and only studied with him for a short time. Ultimately, Reed developed a small group of friends t h a t shared his same interest in music, and they formed a four-piece b a n d consisting of piano, drums, alto saxophone, and trumpet. He recalls making $2.00 for three hours' work at his first playing engagement, and he enjoyed the prospect of receiving payment for musical performance. Around 1934, Alfred began playing trumpet professionally. This meant t h a t he began to associate with many musicians and performers in and around New York City. Also, this meant t h a t he would be traveling away from the house. His mother was not in favor of him associating with "all kinds of what might not be the most desirable people." 13 Many of her brothers and sisters objected to the way in which she kept her son isolated from other people, and this created some tension between them. At this same time, as Alfred began to perform more frequently, he enlisted the services of an agent to help market himself and a nine piece band t h a t he recently formed. This agent suggested t h a t he change his name because it was too long, too German, and too Jewish for the time. The agent felt t h a t a shorter name t h a t was absent of any specific cultural, or religious connotations would be more easily marketed. The agent took one syllable from the name Friedman, t h a t would be easily remembered, easy to spell, and short, and suggested t h a t Alfred Friedman change his n a m e to Alfred Reed. This is the name t h a t Alfred adopted in all professional circles in New York. He was later enrolled in the military and was registered at Juilliard and Baylor as Alfred Friedman because t h a t was his legal name, but he used the n a m e Alfred Reed on all his music and was known as Alfred Reed by all his peers in the music world. Ultimately, in 1955, he filed for a legal change of n a m e in order to simplify the paperwork involved in taxation, Social Security, and other government institutions. When Alfred was to attend high school, the family moved again to another three-room apartment at 1712 Longfellow Avenue. Mrs. Friedman allowed him to walk six blocks across the Bronx River to attend J a m e s Monroe High School. It was during this time t h a t reed began to develop an interest in writing music. This resulted in Mr. Friedman purchasing the family's first piano. The instrument was purchased from a second hand piano warehouse for $10.00. From the day this piano entered the apartment, Reed slowly began to shift his time and energies from playing the trumpet to using the piano to write music. He never took any piano lessons until later

when he attended Juilliard, but was able to manipulate the keys enough to begin hearing what he had written. While in high school, Reed attended his first formal live concert. He remembers attending an anti-Nazi rally in 1935 held a t Madison Square Garden where the New York Philharmonic played Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4. Later, in 1936, as a reward for winning an award for achievement in German during his senior year in high school, Mr. Friedman purchased two tickets to a New York Philharmonic concert of Richard Wagner's music. This was the beginning of a love for Wagner's music t h a t remained with him his entire life. "I was completely transported out of this world. I think t h a t subconsciously, at t h a t point, I must have realized t h a t this is what I wanted to do." 14 As a very special treat, Alfred's father was able to acquire tickets to the spring 1936 season of the Metropolitan Opera performances, and Alfred was able to attended his first opera with his mother. Alfred was graduated from high school in J u n e 1936 at the age of 15. During the summer of 1936, after graduating from high school, Alfred was playing trumpet in a new group. The leader of this ensemble, Ralph Captain, had to promise Mrs. Friedman t h a t he would keep an eye on Alfred during their time in the mountains. Captain was three years older t h a n Alfred, and the two were roommates for a number of years. This group was put together by an agency called Share and Stern on 46th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues in New York City. The agency contracted players for ensembles t h a t would perform at many of the Catskill resorts during the summer for a growing tourist trade. For many of the up and coming Broadway performers, musicians, and producers, the summer Catskill mountain resorts became a place to refine their talents and possibly be discovered.* Reed's first playing engagement in the Catskills was at a resort called the Pinecrest Villa where he earned $4.00 per week a n d was provided room and board and got to keep all the tips he could earn. The ensemble in which he played consisted of piano, drums, violin, alto saxophone, and trumpet, and the musicians in the group were at the disposal of the resort owner or manager. The hours were sometimes long. A typical day would include playing an hour of dinner music followed by dance music for the patrons of the resort. The musicians rehearsed during the day. While working at the Pinecrest Villa, the owner of the hotel told the band t h a t they would have to play some Irish music during * It is interesting to note t h a t the future Mrs. Reed's uncle and aunt owned one of these Catskill resorts, Schenck's Paramount House in South Fallsburg, New York. Reed never came into contact with his prospective in-laws until he was married.

the next week because an influential politician from New York City would be staying at the resort. The group found themselves searching for Irish music. "To this day I can remember that. I can see it, and hear it ever so clearly, I don't know what propelled me to say this, but I said 'don't worry fellows, I'll write us something." 15 Alfred took a book titled Twice 55 Community Songs and arranged a medley of five or six Irish tunes based on some of the music from the book. He remembers t h a t "Loch Lomond" was included in this arrangement even though it was a Scottish song, as well as, the 'Wearing of the Green," and "The Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Halls." The New York politician showed his enthusiasm and pleasure by giving the band a $10.00 tip for their performance. It was at this moment t h a t he realized t h a t writing music was what he wanted to pursue. Hereafter, Alfred began to play the trumpet less and less and to write music more and more. He admits t h a t he w a s never a great trumpet player and found t h a t he could write music faster and better then he ever could play trumpet. "I went back and told my father t h a t I was going to keep the trumpet, I was still going to play whenever I can, but I think what I want to do now is learn how to write music." 1 6 In the Fall of 1936, after his son returned from the summer in the mountains and announced to his father t h a t he was interested in studying composition, Mr. Friedman found and hired a teacher. The teacher's n a m e was John P. Sacco. Alfred went to his house once a week and was able to pay for these lessons with the money t h a t he was no longer spending for trumpet lessons. After teaching Alfred for about one year, Sacco decided t h a t he no longer wanted to teach. In fact, Sacco only taught Alfred as a favor to Mr. Friedman. After this brief period of instruction, Reed was on his own again and was beginning to become discouraged and disappointed with his work. Reed's mother died in 1937, when he was only 16, following a battle with cancer. "I was an only child, [and] I really was a lonely child from t h a t point on." 1 7 In the Spring of 1938, at age 17, Alfred knew he wanted to be a composer, but had developed no plan on how to become one. Money continued to be a concern, especially after his mother's illness and subsequent death had drained most of the family savings, so it was difficult to pay for private study with anyone. This contributed to Alfred's frustration of wanting and needing to write music, but not having the tools, knowledge, or instruction on how to do it to the degree to which he felt t h a t he should. Even though he wanted to be a composer, Alfred was still working as a trumpet player in order to make ends meat. In order to find playing engagements, musicians could go to the musicians union headquarters, Local 802, three times a week.

Biography
Alfred regularly attended those sessions on the "Exchange Floor." On one particular day, he finished his business early and decided to walk across the street to Radio City Music Hall and see a new motion picture, "The Great Waltz," about J o h a n n Strauss. As the credits were playing, the name of Arthur Gutman, the head of the arrangers and copyists divisions of Local 802, flashed by. Taking this as some kind of sign, Alfred went to see G u t m a n the next day. When presented examples of Alfred's best and most recent writing, G u t m a n recommended t h a t he find a teacher who was not only a technician, but a writer who was actively working in the profession. When asked who he would recommend, Gutman said Paul Yartin. Because he was not affiliated with any school, and had an interest in developing as many young students as possible, Gutman indicated t h a t Yartin's fees were sometimes assessed based on w h a t the student could afford to pay. And so, in this apparently accidental, almost h a p h a z a r d way, I came to meet one of the two most important men in my musical life, both of them w h a t I would call master teachers: teachers whose training and influence extended far beyond the merely technical, whose outlook, experience and encouragement penetrated into almost every area of a student's life. 1 8 Alfred studied with Yartin on scholarship as p a r t of an arrangement between Yartin and Reed's father. In fact, no money was exchanged for his lessons with Yartin in return for keeping files of other student's lessons and sometimes going to the market with Mrs. Yartin. Yartin was educated at the Vienna and Paris conservatories where he studied piano with Joseph Hoffman and composition with Camille Saint-Saens. He was fluent in six languages, including Greek and Japanese, and actively translated writings from other languages into English. He was the kind of man t h a t could rightfully be magniloquent about his background, but never talked about it. Alfred was very impressed with his calm, common demeanor, a n d even the fact t h a t he shared some "very juicy, off-colored stories" ^ on occasion. Yartin taught Alfred t h a t writing a tidy manuscript was very important so Alfred learned to write in ink with a ruler, and Yartin refused to look at his assignments if there were any extraneous m a r k s or smudges on them. "He said to me 'it is alright, you can curse me now, but the time will come when you may even bless me for it.' In this, as in so many other ways, he was absolutely right." ^ Even today, looking at one of Reed's handwritten scores, a person

would very easily be able to perform and study from his manuscript because of its clarity. Yartin found himself having to caution Alfred against being seduced by all the contemporary harmonies and melodies t h a t were being written during t h a t time by Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Hindemith. Alfred could have easily been enticed and influenced by these composers, but Yartin did not want him to neglect the traditional music in order to explore every sensational device t h a t came along. In retrospect, Reed believes this is one of the best pieces of advice ever given to him. He recalls Yartin saying "as you get old, and you have all these experiences with these Pecks bad-boys of music, the more you will come back to Papa Bach." 2 1 Reed is grateful t h a t he remembered this piece of advice because it h a s turned out to be true. There seemed to be a relationship between Reed and Yartin t h a t transcends t h a t of the typical student and teacher. Reed credits Yartin with subduing his frustration, unleashing his potential, and enabling him to be the composer t h a t he is today. It is difficult to describe the excitement, enthusiasm, and respect with which he speaks about his mentor, almost as a son would of his father. "He taught me how to keep going, to the end of my life if I wanted to. In order to do t h a t he had to creep in between your bones, he had to leave an imprint, and impress." 2 2 Alfred studied with Yartin for about two and a half years, from 1938 through 1940, until the time t h a t Yartin and his wife moved to the West coast of the United States. Alfred continued to take trumpet lessons, as he promised his father he would, during the time t h a t he studied with Yartin. He was able to afford these lessons because he was not paying to study with Yartin. His teacher was Harry Berken, whose studio was in Radio City Music Hall. On one particular occasion, Alfred arrived a t one of his lessons unprepared, except for a ten page duet t h a t he wrote during the time he should have been practicing. Reed remembers Berken saying, after playing the duet, "'why are you wasting my time and yours? You don't want to be a trumpet player." 2 3 That was the last day t h a t Alfred took a trumpet lesson. He did continue to play for small engagements, but no longer practiced the trumpet seriously. In 1938, Reed began to work for the National Youth Administration Radio Workshop as a staff composer, arranger, and assistant conductor. He worked here until 1942, when he entered military service. The National Youth Administration (NYA) Radio Workshop was an agency set up by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to assist in bringing the United States out of the Great Depression, and the radio workshop was based in the Ed Sullivan Building on Broadway. Young individuals would work 60 hours a month, for

$22.00, to gain work experience t h a t would facilitate them finding jobs in the future. The Radio Workshop included a full symphony orchestra, sinfonietta, stage band, three choirs, arrangers and copyists, music library, and production and public relations people. All the programs were produced and aired on WNYC. Reed used his position with the Radio Workshop to observe as many rehearsals as possible, including those under the direction of Leopold Stokowski, Fritz Mahler, Morton Gould, Robert Hufstader, Edwin McArthur, and Curtis Flagstaff. Many young conductors were given the opportunity to conduct the ensembles, and there were plenty of writing opportunities for Reed. He wrote music for many of the radio broadcasts, including "Tale of a City," "Promise of America," and "Creative America." In this "hot bed" of music, Reed was able to meet great artists, absorb a great deal of music, a n d h e a r most of w h a t he wrote played by some of the finest performers in the city. It was during his time with the NYA Radio Workshop t h a t Reed received the first public performance of a work he h a d composed. This was a short work for small orchestra called Country Night, which was composed and performed in 1940, when Reed w a s 19 years old. The work was performed first by the NYA Sinfonietta, conducted by Robert Hufstader, and later by the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Milton Katims. Country Night was later retitled Interludium, arranged for Hammond Organ, and published in 1953, because at the time of publication Reed was working for the Charles H. Hansen Music Corporation who published a series for the Ethel Smith Organ Company. This was the first original piece of music t h a t Reed published, and he later dedicated this work to his wife on their fifth wedding anniversary. On J u n e 20, 1941, at the age of 20, Alfred married Marjorie Beth Deley. The circumstances surrounding their meeting are very coincidental. Marjorie's father was also in the r e s t a u r a n t business in New York City and owned his own establishment on Broadway. Reed's father, after losing his own business, met Marjorie's father, who subsequently hired him. Marjorie worked in the r e s t a u r a n t a n d t h u s became acquainted with Reed's father. She was recently divorced from her first husband and Reed's father asked her to go out with his son, but because of the difference in their ages, Marjorie did not accept his advances. In 1940, after his overtures were declined, Reed's father brought his son and Marjorie together under the auspices of discussing her interest in pursuing music study. Reed helped her purchase a piano and introduced her to Paul Yartin with whom she studied for a while. They were engaged in February of 1941, and were married on J u n e 20th of the same year. The beginning of their life together, not unlike most couples, was filled with many challenges. Mrs. Reed's family had a history of

problems relating to childbirth, and the couple was not spared these problems. "We had only one child despite repeated attempts. My wife h a d a history of seven or eight miscarriages and the only child she carried for full term died after three months because of heart deficiencies." 2 4 Her parents provided the couple with much financial support, because they had no medical insurance to help cover their expenses. "As a matter of fact, they helped too much and I w a s beginning to become a little restive under it. I felt t h a t I didn't need as much help as they were offering and I wanted to do things for myself." 2 5 In the early 1940's, at the beginning of his marriage and during Alfred's time with the NYA, he became acquainted with his next composition teacher, Vittorio Giannini. He became aware of Giannini's music in the mid- 1930s after hearing a work entitled "Impressions of Travel," composed while Giannini was in residency at the American Academy in Rome. "I had never heard such mastery of the orchestra, the effects, the sounds t h a t he got. Some of the melodies just swept me off my feet." 26 Giannini eventually became a conductor at the NYA Radio Workshop, which is where they met. Alfred asked Giannini if he could take composition lessons from him. Giannini examined some of Alfred's work and agreed to teach him, but suggested they wait before starting until after the possibility of Reed serving in the military had passed. This proved to be a wise decision. When it became evident t h a t he would be drafted into service, Reed enlisted and was away from New York City for three and one-half years. THE MILITARY YEARS (1942-1946) In September 1942, 16 months after the start of World War II, Reed began serving in the military. He kissed Marjorie good-by and, at Pennsylvania Station in New York City, boarded a train t h a t was bound for Upton Base on Long Island. Reed spent three days at Upton Base before he boarded another train, as p a r t of the Army Air Corps, bound for Atlantic City, New Jersey. This, however, is not how Reed expected it to go. Prior to his induction, Reed had been invited to visit another base, Watertown, where the major in charge of entertainment wanted to produce a series of musical shows for the troops stationed there. Major Blesser asked Reed to come there after some members of the band who were stationed there suggested t h a t he would be a good candidate to arrange the music for these shows. Because it w a s almost inevitable t h a t he was going to serve, Reed withdrew his claim for induction deferral, and the Major provided him with the appropriate information and paperwork to be assigned to the

Coastal Artillery unit t h a t was stationed at Watertown. Instead of being placed on a train North to Watertown, he ended up on a train heading South to Atlantic City, because the 8th Army Air Force w a s building up in Britain and they wanted personnel with special skills. Reed's special skill was his very well trained hearing, which m a d e him a primary candidate to become a radio operator. Reed h a s proven himself to be a good prognosticator, and this held true even in the 1940s as he prepared to be inducted into the military. In 1941, before being inducted, he decided t h a t if military service was not to be avoided, he should serve his time as a musician. Realizing t h a t he would have to perform an audition, he began to take trumpet lessons from Morris Grupp, who, according to Reed, was a highly respected and very knowledgeable teacher with a studio on Broadway. Reed worked with new incentive to get his lip into shape, and his practice paid off. He auditioned for the Lieutenant in charge of the base band at Atlantic City and, two weeks after arriving there, was transferred out of the radio operator's training group and into the band. "I was permitted to live off-post, as were all the other permanent party members in those days, and I was set up doing practically the same thing in the Army t h a t I had been doing in civilian life." 2 7 Reed did not do much trumpet playing while in the Army except during his first few weeks and the final few months of duty. Reed did "fall out" each morning during those first few weeks with his instrument and participate in marching maneuvers, drills, a n d routines, but because there was a surplus of trumpet players, he w a s not needed to perform and was able to compose, arrange, a n d develop his skill. Most bases t h a t h a d a band were limited to one authorized group, but the Atlantic City base was an exception to t h a t rule. This base was known as a Technical Training Command (TTC) center, which trained the support personnel for pilots. Because of the number of troops assigned for training in Atlantic City, the base w a s authorized to have two 28-member bands. The instrumentation of these bands, for which Reed did much of his writing, consisted of one piccolo, one flute, six B-flat clarinets, two Eb alto saxophones, one Bb tenor saxophone, three French horns, five trumpets and cornets, three trombones, one baritone, two tubas, and three percussion. The music division of this base was further expand to over 130 musicians, including 45 strings and an 18 to 20 piece drum and bugle corps. The possibilities for combinations of performers were a composer's dream. I must say t h a t those 39 months I spent ... were, w h a t shall I say, the years when I really began to learn my craft.

efficiently, and accurately so t h a t the first time it w a s played through everybody, including myself, could get a good idea of what was going on in the music. 2 8 Reed's first commanding officer was Lieutenant Henry F. Reisman. It was speculated by members of the band t h a t this commander was related to Leo Reisman who was a successful dance band leader, but, according to Reed, his talents were not shared by his supposed brother. Many commanders in the Army, at this time, were not necessarily trained in the specialty area t h a t they commanded, but were quality administrators. Reed's next commander was David Bane who, according to Reed, worked to improve the morale of the band. The guidelines to be qualified as a commander changed, and as a result of this change, one had to graduate from a Warrant Officers School, which trained candidates in their respective areas. Robert Landers was the first commander to take over the bands at Atlantic City after completing Warrant Officers School. In J u n e 1943, the base at Atlantic City was closing and the bands were being sent to different bases throughout the country. The 29th Army Air Corps Band, Reed's band, which was under the command of Landers, was sent to Denver, Colorado, and the 28th Army Air Corps band under the direction of Norman Leyden was sent to Greensboro, North Carolina. Incidentally, Leyden later became the music director on the "$64,000 Dollar Question." In conjunction with the base being closed, the Army Air Corps was retitled the Army Air Force, and all the units were prefixed by the number five. Therefore, the 29th Army Air Corps band became the 529th Army Air Force band stationed first at Buckley Field, until the Spring of 1945, and at Lowry Field thereafter. While in Denver, Colorado, the majority of Reed's time w a s spent composing and arranging music for weekly radio broadcasts and public concerts. "I did over 150 works in those 39 months, including [arrangements of] the entire Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, and two hours of music from [Handel's] Messiah where we used a Hammond organ for the string accompaniments for the solo voices." ^ Most of his works were arrangements for radio broadcast concerts carried on KOA and KLZ nationally and WFPG and KMYR in the Atlantic City and Denver areas respectively. Reed also was involved in the production of 73 programs for "America Sends a Melody" t h a t were recorded for overseas broadcast. Of the few pieces of original music composed during the military years, Reed produced the composition t h a t was the catalyst for the rest of his career. This work brought the name of Alfred Reed to the forefront of the school wind band movement and is singularly

responsible for taking his life down a p a t h he never intended, or even entertained the thought of pursuing, prior to these events. In the late summer of 1944, after the Allied forces successfully invaded France and Belgium, it was generally accepted t h a t World War II would soon end victoriously. The war bond effort h a d gone exceptionally well in Denver during the summer of 1944, and t h e City Fathers decided to give the citizens of the community a free concert to t h a n k them for their support. The prominent American composer and teacher, Roy Harris, "finagled for himself, a s the master musical politician he was, to be placed in charge of organizing this concert." 3 0 Harris decided to assemble a band of the best players from each of the five military installations in the greater Denver area. He was promised complete cooperation by the commanding officers of each of these units and requested t h a t Reed be detached from his normal military duties to help with the administrative work. According to Reed, plans for the concert, scheduled for the middle of December, were going very well until a problem arose at the end of November. The program had originally been conceived as a RussianAmerican tribute and was to present Russian and American works because, at the time, the Russian people were allies with the United States. There would also be a premiere of a new Russian and a new American work. The American work was to be a transcription of the second movement of Harris's Sixth Symphony, the "Abraham Lincoln Symphony," and the Russian piece was to be a work by Prokofiev which Harris had somehow heard about, but did not know the title. Harris began searching for this new Russian work with the assistance of military officials in Washington, D.C. and discovered t h a t the work had already been premiered by the 529th Army Air Force Band, Reed's organization, and t h a t it was in the base music library. Reed was not aware t h a t his band had already performed the Russian composition, because he was not responsible for selecting the music to be programmed. Thus he could not alert Harris t h a t his unit had already performed the composition and h a d it in their library. This work was Sergei Prokofiev's March, Opus 99. Harris was now faced with the problem of finding another never before performed Russian work t h a t could be presented as part of the advertised program. Reed relates some of his conversation with Harris about this matter. He [Harris] said t h a t the best thing t h a t he had been able to come up with is t h a t I should write a new Russian work for the occasion, and with t h a t he hung up the phone!

He said "don't worry, I have every confidence in you." I said, "Roy the concert is 15 or 16 days away." He said, "well, just don't make it too long, only about 14 or 15 minutes," and with t h a t he hung up the phone again. 3 1 Reed immediately went to see Warrant Officer Landers. Reed walked into Landers's office and did not have time to say anything before Landers told him t h a t Harris had already communicated with him and t h a t Reed was to begin working on the composition. Landers gave Reed special permission to remain a t home while he was writing this work and only come to the base to sign the payroll and pick up his pay. Each day Reed's wife would bring the completed pages of the score to the base where a special copyist's room h a d been built by the base carpenters for this occasion. Utilizing the skills of five copyists, and this process, the score for Russian Christmas Music was completed in 11 days, and the copyists required two additional days to finish the parts before rehearsals could begin. This first version of Russian Christmas Music was premiered on December 12, 1944 as part of a nationwide radio broadcast on the NBC network, and the concert premiere was on December 14, 1944 in the Denver City Auditorium. This was Reed's first public recognition and his first great success as a composer. Russian Christmas Music made so much of an impact on Saul Caston, the conductor of the Denver Symphony, t h a t in the spring of 1945 he asked Reed to make an orchestral version. Reed decided against it, at the time,* because he felt t h a t he would never be able to achieve the same sonorities from an orchestra t h a t he achieved with a wind group. The command of Buckley Field changed during the time t h a t Reed was stationed there to a general from the cavalry who, according to Reed, seemed determined to acquaint the Air Force personnel with w h a t military life was about. This new general implemented reveille parades at 5:30 A.M., which included the playing of Star Spangled Banner and marches on the streets within the base. About one week after initiating the order, the general withdrew it because of an onslaught of criticism by the commanding officers. W a r r a n t Officer Landers suggested t h a t Reed compose a Recently, Clark McAlister, in close collaboration with Reed, transcribed Russian Christmas Music for orchestra. This arrangement was released in 1995.

march to be dedicated to the general to possibly reduce feelings of embarrassment t h a t he may have been experiencing because of this event. The result of Landers's suggestion was General Lawson March, which was never published under that title. Years later the march was retitled Scarlet and Gold to reflect the colors of the Juilliard School of Music and finally titled and published as Pro Texana while Reed was at Baylor in 1953. In 1942, Reed's wife, Marjorie, became a Lieutenant in the Red Cross, and she was able to secure a provision in her contract t h a t enabled her to be stationed wherever her husband was serving; thus, they were able to remain together. In February 1946, Reed was discharged from the service. He was one of the last to be released because the Air Force released its members based on a point system. Each individual was awarded a number of points based on certain aspects of their military career, including overseas service, hazardous service, number of dependent children, and number of months in service. Reed did not qualify for any extra points beyond the number of months in service, so he remained long after the War had ended. He began playing trumpet more at the end of his service career, because many instrumentalists left the group and the number of playing obligations did not greatly decrease. THE JUILLIARD YEARS (1946-1948) In February 1946, the Reeds moved back to New York City from Denver. They resided with Marjorie's parents for a few weeks before moving into an apartment at 151 West 95th Street. Reed spent most of his time during the spring relaxing and readjusting to civilian life. He was able to enroll in a course taught by Lyle Dowling and Arnold Shaw about the Schillinger System* during the summer session of 1946. This was a bittersweet time for Reed. He wanted to begin studying with Giannini, but was unable to do so because the spring term at Juilliard had already begun before he returned to New York City. He was finding it difficult to reestablish his contacts in the music field, and he could not find work. However, he was happy to be reunited with his father. Reed entered the Juilliard School of Music full time in the fall 1946 with 30 hours of credit already granted toward his degree because of his experience in the military. "I would like to say, a n d this is not intended as a reflection on Juilliard, I did not go there in order to acquire the Juilliard degree, but in order to study with * A compositional system heavily based on arithmetic derivations of rhythms developed by J. Schillinger (1895-1943).

Vittorio Giannini." 3 2 Reed wanted to learn to construct large scale musical forms and Giannini was the person he felt could provide him with proper instruction in this area. Reed had extensive experience writing smaller musical forms, overtures, medleys, and popular style music but had never composed a large scale work. He w a s consciously aware t h a t his training was insufficient in this area and hoped to fill the lacking very soon. Every student who applied to the Juilliard School of Music was required to pass a performance entrance audition on their primary instrument, or voice. Reed played, among other excerpts, the fanfare from Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenlieben and the trumpet call from Beethoven's Leonora Overture, No. 2 for his trumpet audition. His audition panel consisted of William Vacchiano, Edward Treutel, and J a m e s Smith, a committee t h a t would make most brass players, even those who practiced eight hours a day, anxious. "Vacchiano, a relatively quiet and soft spoken man, looked at me and said 'you're coming in as a theory composition major, you're going to be studying with Mr. Giannini, and Mr. Giannini has accepted you, well in t h a t case I think we can let you in.'" 3 3 Reed never touched his trumpet after he completed his audition. For a short time after returning to New York City, Marjorie rejoined her family in the r e s t a u r a n t business, but by the time Alfred began attending Juilliard, she acquired a job there, first as a s s i s t a n t to the registrar and later as the assistant registrar. She was once again working almost side-by-side to her husband just as she did while she was serving in the Red Cross. Reed commenced his studies with Vittorio Giannini in the fall of 1946. They worked on constructing large formal structures for chamber ensembles and smaller orchestral groups, and he w a s pleased with his progress during this time. Giannini told Reed many times t h a t he could not imagine any music lasting over the years except t h a t which combined "Italian melody and German symphonic craftsmanship." 3 4 This was the style of music t h a t Giannini was writing, and this philosophy influenced Reed's writing "to a great extent." Reed said t h a t he often considers Giannini's advice while composing and believes it to be true. It could be said t h a t a great deal of Reed's compositional style was developed under the tutelage of Giannini. It was during his time at Juilliard t h a t Reed met another person who exerted a great amount of influence on his life and career, Donald I. Moore. During the 1947-48 school year the administration of Juilliard was faced with an increasing number of students due to the influx of veterans and not enough ensemble performance positions, especially for wind and percussion players. In order to help relieve the problem the President of the school, William Schuman, decided to create a wind band. Moore was hired to direct

this first band in the history of Juilliard. After only one year Schuman decided to eliminate this band program in order to refocus the Juilliard School of Music toward the preparation of performers. While at Juilliard, Reed took his first-ever piano lessons. He studied with Jewel Krivin and Selma Rubinstein simultaneously. Within the year he had practiced enough to pass his required proficiency by playing Beethoven's Sonata, Op. 49 No. 2. He imposed limits on his practice time because he felt any time away from composing was time not spent wisely. Although Reed was a trumpet player he did not take lessons on trumpet, nor play in any wind or orchestral ensembles. Reed had his first conducting experience while at Juilliard. He conducted only his own music with small ensembles or groups t h a t he organized. He never had the opportunity to conduct any of the School's orchestras. His last conducting appearance at Juilliard was in the spring of 1948, when he composed the music a n d conducted the performance of a musical show entitled Lose Your Tempo, for which he organized a large orchestra that included, in addition to the standard string instrumentation, five saxophones, three extra woodwinds, six brass, harp, and percussion. Reed continued to spend much time listening to many live performing groups and observed as many conductors as possible. He felt t h a t in order for him to understand large musical structures he needed to be exposed to as many works, composers, conductors, and forms as he could. "I spent much of my time sitting in rehearsals listening, watching conductors, following with scores, making notes, and asking myself questions like, 'why does this sound t h a t way?' I would say t h a t is really where I laid the solid basis of my instrumental technique." 3 5 In 1947, the second version of Russian Christmas Music was written in order to be entered in a contest for new serious music for the symphonic band sponsored by Columbia University and administered by its director of bands, Harwood Simmons. Reed became aware of the contest from one of his friends and decided to enter Russian Christmas Music, which had been stored in a box and not performed since 1944, because he was curious to see how it would compare to other contemporary wind works of the time. Reed made several changes in the instrumentation for this second version. Because he had a larger ensemble for which to orchestrate, he could take advantage of the additional instrumental tone colors beyond those t h a t were at his disposal in the smaller 28-piece military b a n d for which the work was originally written. However, he did not change the number of measures contained in the work nor any of the melodic material. The work was one of the three prize winning pieces from the contest and received its first performance in this version by the Juilliard band under Moore in February 1948. This

version of Russian Christmas Music was sent to Boosey & Hawkes to be considered for publication, but was never published. In the spring of 1948, Reed received a letter t h a t distressed, annoyed, and h u r t him very much. Boosey & Hawkes found the Russian Christmas Music to be a very interesting work, but in their reviewer's opinion it was too long and too difficult to be widely performed by most school groups at t h a t time, and therefore it w a s deemed to not be financially viable for publication. Reed w a s obviously upset about the letter and decided t h a t he would not submit Russian Christmas Music to any other publisher at that time. In the spring of 1948, Morris Mamorsky, one of the staff writers for NBC decided to leave t h a t organization and become a freelance composer. Mamorsky was responsible for writing the music for one of the most successful radio shows of the 1940s, the "Eternal Light." He continued to write music for the show after leaving the network, and was provided with secretarial services and office space for his continued involvement in the production of the "Eternal Light." Because Mamorsky's reputation as a composer was well known, and his music was in great demand from many producers, he found it difficult to satisfy the number of requests for new music and decided to hire an assistant to alleviate his work load. Mamorsky contacted three schools of music in the New York City area, the Juilliard, M a n h a t t a n , and Mannes Schools of Music, to announced t h a t he was looking for an assistant. Because he lived in Mamaroneck, New York, Mamorsky would only come into New York City a few days each week to work on the radio show so anyone interested in applying for the position was to come to his office on one of the days t h a t he was in the city. Reed was aware t h a t the position was available, but was unable to apply for the job because he was serving jury duty. It t u r n s out t h a t Mamorsky had been told about Alfred Reed by some of Reed's friends who had already applied for the position and was wondering why he had not contacted him. Finally, after his jury duty was over, he called Mamorsky's secretary to inquire about the position. An interview took place and Reed was soon at work composing and arranging 125 music soundtrack sequences. These sequences were stored in a soundtrack library for use in motion pictures, radio, and television shows. Because of the particulars of Mamorsky's contract with Picture Scores, Inc., neither his or Reed's name ever appeared on any of the music. Reed began working for Mamorsky while continuing his studies at Juilliard and found himself to be too busy. He felt t h a t he was working as a professional composer without having a degree, and he did not feel t h a t he had either the need, nor the time to continue his study at Juilliard and work for Mamorsky as much as he wanted him.

Biography First of all, I had discussed this with Giannini a t great length. He said to me, and I'll never forget it, "with any of my other students here I would say to them, no, finish your degree. But for you, with your talent and what you have done, I feel t h a t this would be a very important step." 3 6
Reed was summoned to a meeting with the then Dean of the Juilliard School of Music, Norman Lloyd, in order to be questioned about his intention to leave without completing his degree. Reed w a s told by Lloyd, who was considered to be a very quiet and reserved man, t h a t the faculty was considering awarding him a fellowship to continue his study there. "Without the slightest warning he said to me, in t h a t same quiet voice, 'why do you want to become a whore?'" 37 Reed was both surprised and annoyed by Lloyd's characterization and responded to this question by denying t h a t his talents would be prostituted. Regardless of Lloyd's discouragement, Reed left Juilliard. This was the first time in his life t h a t Reed felt as though he could stand on his own against people and situations t h a t were supposed to be more powerful t h a n he, and he was looking forward to the challenges he would face in the professional music world. For the first time in his life, at the age of 27, he would not have to rely on anyone else for his well-being. The government, his parent, or his inlaws would no longer be paying for his study, and he would have to become completely responsible for his life. THE NBC AND ABC YEARS (1948-1953) The spring of 1948 was a very busy time for Reed. Not only was he accepting his first job and leaving the security of academia, he was also beginning to realize success as a composer. Because of the positive reaction t h a t Russian Christmas Music received at his performance and his personal admiration of the piece, Harwood Simmons, who conducted the premiere performance of the second version of the work, wrote a number of band conductors across the United States in order to alert them of this fresh, new work for wind band. Relating his efforts in a letter to Reed, Simmons wrote: I sent the score and parts to Professor Walter Beeler and had a most enthusiastic reply from him. He speaks in the highest terms of the work and being a m a n who does not display emotions easily, I am very

much impressed. No doubt you have heard from him by now. 3 8 The letter writing campaign enacted by Simmons was very successful, and in a matter of months Reed began receiving requests to perform the work from some of the most well known b a n d conductors of the day including Frank Prindl, Bernard Fitzgerald, Glenn Bainum, Hugh McMillen, Howard Hanson, Frederick Fennell, L. Bruce Jones, and William Revelli. Fitzgerald wrote in a letter to Reed, "Your unusual talent for superb band scoring and musical ideas is sorely needed by bandsmen throughout the United States, and I am confident t h a t you can make a tremendous contribution to band music through your continued compositions for the medium." ^ Bainum wrote that "the Russian Christmas Music is the most magnificent piece of original writing for band t h a t I have ever seen. It m u s t be published." 4 0 Fennell wrote, "this is a wonderful job of scoring and a most faithful realization of the spirit it so clearly invokes." 4 1 The need for contemporary wind band music was evident by the interest expressed from these conductors, and Reed's piece seems to have qualified as one of these needed works. In fact, Prindl wrote, "I am very sensitive towards the major criticism of the band, i.e., t h a t the concert band h a s not enough outstanding literature written directly for the band. I am sure your composition will nullify this criticism." 4 2 Reed was very pleased to have received so many flattering letters about his composition, but he only responded to one letter because he was so overwhelmed by the amount of work involved in his new job, and also he was no longer interested in composing music for the wind band. That chosen letter was from Walter Beeler, director of bands at Ithaca College, who expressed a strong interest in at least seeing the score of this composition. Reed sent Beeler the score to Russian Christmas Music because Ithaca was the closest geographical location of all the responses and the postage was less expensive to send it there. "Very shortly afterward came back a most enthusiastic letter practically demanding t h a t he be allowed to play it." 4 3 In a subsequent letter, Beeler wrote t h a t "we [the Ithaca College Band and Beeler] will be anxious to receive the Russian Christmas Music and start rehearsals on it." 44 Beeler performed Russian Christmas Music on tour with the Ithaca College band during the fall of 1948 and later wrote, "I believe t h a t I am safe in saying t h a t the majority opinion is that it is the most effective piece of music in band literature." 4 5 Beeler encouraged Reed to have the work published so t h a t many more bands would have the opportunity to play it. Reed,

Biography
however, decided not to submit Russian Christmas Music to a publisher because of his previous experience with Boosey & Hawkes, and, frankly, he had no desire to promote this work when he saw himself composing music for the more traditional performing ensemble, namely, the orchestra. In September 1948, Reed was given his first opportunity to work with Mamorsky on a radio broadcast show for the NBC network. This show was called "Marriage in Distress" a n d addressed the contemporary issues of marriage, including social diseases and divorce. Reed composed a large portion of the music for this show, scored the entire production, and assisted in the studio while Mamorsky conducted 38 members of the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Reed's work on "Marriage in Distress" launched his radio music career. Between 1948 and 1952 he was involved in arranging, composing, and orchestrating music for many of the day's radio broadcasts, including broadcasts of "The Ethel Merman Show," "Mike Barrows, Government Agent," "Someone You Know," and "The U.S. Steel Hour," to name a few. Reed also established a long standing relationship with Henry Morgan and wrote music for "The Henry Morgan Show" while it was broadcast on radio and later on television. Mamorsky introduced Reed to many people who exerted influence on his life for years to come. Reed describes sitting in the control booth and watching Toscanini conduct the NBC Symphony Orchestra in preparation for the Saturday and Sunday radio broadcasts. Reed worked closely with Milton Katims, one of Toscanini's assistant conductors. Reed first met Katims in 1948 while working with Mamorsky and remained in close contact with him for many years. Katims w a s the regular conductor for the "Eternal Light," the weekly radio program for which Mamorsky wrote the music. It was widely known t h a t Katims was Toscanini's protege with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, and when he was not conducting the orchestra he played first-stand viola under Toscanini. Reed was never officially on the staff at NBC, but most of the music he composed between 1948-1951 was aired on this network. He was actually an employee of Mamorsky during the time and remained so until he joined the staff at ABC. Because Reed was Mamorsky's employee, all the music he wrote, except for the soundtrack sequences, became the property of Mamorsky and was identified only with Mamorsky's name. Reed accepted this arrangement during their early affiliation, but grew restless with it as time passed. Many producers and production executives, however, began working with Reed directly: thus he began to clear the music he had written for broadcast under his own name, not Mamorsky's, and, as might be expected, their relationship began

to deteriorate. Reed began to feel t h a t he no longer wanted to be Mamorsky's employee and could "make it" on his own. The men mutually decided to abolish their arrangement. In the spring of 1949, the Reeds moved into a one-room apartment at 43 West 87th Street in New York City. This apartment was on the first floor of a brownstone building and w a s designed exactly as Reed remembered part of Yartin's larger home. "I was living in exactly the same kind of room which had been made into a one-room apartment t h a t Yartin had. That did not escape my attention, or my notice." 4 6 Reed's first contact with ABC came in 1949, when he w a s working on a series of record albums with Richard Maltby, who w a s on staff at ABC. In the fall of 1950, Maltby resigned from ABC, and Reed was hired to take his place as a staff arranger and composer. Reed was assigned to work in an area t h a t was completely new for him, the television medium. "I had the wonderful opportunity to learn this new medium. I had been [working for] two years in commercial radio and now I was in television." 4 7 Reed's first involvement in writing music for a record album was in collaboration with Richard Maltby and Ted Dale on which he was a transcriber for a series of Muzak and Sesac* albums t h a t were released in 1949, 1950, and 1952. Reed next arranged music for an album by Gladys Swarthout and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, "Gladys Swarthout Sings My Favorites," which was released in December, 1950. In 1951, he arranged and orchestrated music for Rise Stevens and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, under Milton Katims. This music was included on the album "Songs My Mother Taught Me" for the RCA Victor label and released in May of t h a t year. When he went to work for ABC, Reed continued to write music for some 60 broadcasts of the "Henry Morgan Show" for NBC. Because of their experience working together and perhaps because Morgan developed a respect and liking for the music t h a t Reed wrote for his show, Morgan kept Reed as his writer even though it w a s broadcast on NBC-TV. On ABC, he wrote music for "Holiday Hotel," and "Musical Playhouse." Reed wrote many special arrangements, most of which were for dance band, for Ruth Baylor, Parcell and Carlyle, and George Geyer. Another aspect of Reed's career included the composing of six full-length motion picture scores. Harry Glass, the head of Picture Scores, Inc., hired a composer and live musicians instead of using music from his soundtrack library. Reed composed the music and * Society of European Stage Authors and Composers (Sesac) is a privately owned performing rights organization, established in 1931, t h a t was originally associated with gospel and Christian music.

was the recording director for "Answer for Anne," "Stepping Along with TV," "Our Silent Partner," "With These Hands," "The Inner Man Steps Out," and "Wings Over France" which were released between 1948 and 1950. Reed arranged the complete score for one musical a n d orchestrated the score for another. The musical review "Laugh it Off" was scored for Mervyn Nelson and was performed at the Blackhawk Restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. Because of a typographical error, Reed was listed as Allen Reed, not Alfred Reed, in the playbill for the show. "All About Love" was a musical comedy, performed at the Versailles. Actors featured in the show included Carmen Torres, Arthur Maxwell, and Gena Rowlands. Reed also was arranger and musical director for many performing artists in the variety-theaters of New York, including Sid Blake, The De Marcos, Peter Howard, Connie Towers, and P a t t i Prince. In 1951, the Reeds moved from New York City to Long Island. They were financially secure enough to be able to purchase their first home, located at 39 Dock Lane, Wantagh, NY. This home was much different from the three-room apartments in which the couple was accustomed to living. In 1952, while looking for a new piece of music to perform with his Baylor University band, Donald Moore (formerly the director of the band at Juilliard) contacted Reed and asked him to compose a piece t h a t he could premiere at Baylor and use as a "signature piece" when the band performed off campus. Evidently, Moore developed a respect for Reed's ability as a result of his experience with Russian Christmas Music while he was at Juilliard. Reed decided to write for only brass and percussion and attempted to construct his first large scale formal structure. He had studied these larger structures with Giannini for a number of years, but had not yet had the opportunity to write one. Amid all of Reed's success, and a career t h a t looked bound for fame and fortune, he and his wife were experiencing some trying times in their personal lives. Family had always been important to Alfred and Marjorie, but due to several miscarriages the couple h a d no children. Marjorie was finally able to carry a child to full-term and gave birth to a baby boy in February 1952. The couple w a s overjoyed by this event because it signified t h a t their dreams a n d hopes of starting a family had come true. Their joy, however, w a s rather short lived because after three months the child died of congenital heart defects. The loss of their infant son tore at the emotions of the couple, but they remained hopeful of having a child. Their continued attempts at starting a family resulted in further miscarriages and they were never able to have a child of their own. Early in 1953, their frustration and anxiety became unbearable and

the Reeds began searching for a way to change their lives in order to put all of these bad memories behind them. The opportunity for this change did not take place until after Reed wrote some music for the "Ford 50th Anniversary Show." In the Spring of 1953, Reed was writing music for a show t h a t involved more musicians, and required more of his time t h a n any other show on which he worked up to this point. This two-hour production, broadcast on both NBC and ABC, had no commercial advertisement and was aired in J u n e 1953, to celebrate the 50 years the Ford Motor Company had been in existence. The amount of music kept many composers and arrangers busy, including Reed.* Reed composed two ballets for this show which were choreographed by Jerome Robbins. The first was a history of "The Popular Dance" between 1903 and 1953, and the second was a "History of Women's Bathing Suits." Reed had been with ABC for about three years, felt t h a t he could not surpass this anniversary show, not to mention t h a t both he and Marjorie were already contemplating a change in their lives, and decided to completely change his career path. Perhaps the groundwork for this change h a d been established by Walter Beeler six months earlier, in J a n u a r y 1953. Reed was unaware, because of their cursory relationship, t h a t Beeler had been writing music for the Charles H. Hansen Music Corporation, and he was ready to leave the firm, because the stress involved in fulfilling his responsibilities both at Ithaca and Hansen h a d begun to take a toll on his health. When Beeler resigned from the corporation he was asked to recommend someone to take his place. He suggested to Charles Hansen t h a t Reed would be a good candidate for the position because he knew of his ability to compose and arrange music for wind instruments, based on his experience with Russian Christmas Music. Beeler's recommendation resulted in Reed receiving a letter from Bernard Kalban t h a t would alter the course of his life. Kalban contacted Reed on behalf of the Charles H. Hansen Music Corporation to solicit his services as a writer of wind music for younger players. "I received a letter from a m a n I never heard of, writing for a firm I did not know, who invited me to have lunch with him to discuss the possibility of my writing some music specifically for young players." 48 Reed met and had lunch with Kalban, and * The most memorable part of the show, for Reed, was when Ethel Merman and Mary Martin sang a medley of 50 tunes, one representing each year the company had been in existence. The medley took 12 minutes to perform and three arrangers to complete.

agreed to begin writing music for the Hansen corporation while still working at ABC. At this same time, other factors were working t h a t would further change Reed's life. Since their first meeting at Juilliard, Reed had remained in contact with Donald Moore. In fact, Moore is responsible for opening a door through which Reed could not refuse to walk. In 1953, soon after the death of Reed's infant son, Donald Moore wrote Alfred and Marjorie to express his sympathy and to a s k if they would consider moving to Waco, Texas so Reed could become the conductor of the orchestra at Baylor University. The position had become available when the Dean of Music at Baylor University, Daniel Sternberg, decided he needed more time to attend to his administrative duties and eliminated the orchestra from his schedule. Moore was sensitive to the Reed's recent loss of their child and thought they would welcome the opportunity to make a change in their lives. Moore provided the foundation, purpose, and opportunity for the Reeds to start their lives over in a new place with a new job. Reed accepted the position at Baylor. Reed was very excited about the invitation and immediately went to see Bernard Kalban to tell him t h a t he would be moving. When he informed Kalban about the invitation to become the conductor of the Baylor University Orchestra, Kalban alerted Charles H. Hansen who wanted to meet with Reed. During the meeting the discussion turned toward the developing school band movement, and Hansen asked Reed what he knew about it. Reed answered t h a t he knew nothing about school bands, because all his work experience had been with adult musicians in the professional music field. Hansen seized the opportunity of Reed's position at Baylor University to encourage Reed to move to Texas, learn about the school b a n d business, represent the corporation, and report back to Hansen in New York. Kalban and Hansen saw this as an opportunity to expand their operation into Texas, especially because of the growing number of band programs in the state during the early and mid1950s. Reed was already looking forward to a change in his career and the additional income from Hansen made it all the more possible to make the move. In fact, during the meeting Reed was not given a chance to answer before Hansen turned to Kalban, who was sitting in with them, and told him to draw up the appropriate contract. It was settled. In August 1953, Reed signed his first contract with Hansen. One of the requirements of the contract stated t h a t Reed give the corporation his second version of Russian Christmas Music, Symphony for Brass and Percussion, Pro Texana March, and the orchestral version of Interludium as security for the money that he was being paid during^the time he was at Baylor. In addition, any music t h a t Reed produced while at Baylor was to be submitted to the Hansen

corporation, which could exercise the first right to publication. Following their meeting, Reed was sent to see the Hansen bookkeeper who, under Hansen's authority, established an account t h a t he could draw against based on the amount of money he was to receive for the projects he would be responsible for while at Baylor. In 1953, at the age of 32, two months after the Ford 50th Anniversary Show, "Mrs. Reed and I, dog, cat, car, and belongings were on the way to Waco, Texas." 4 9 THE BAYLOR YEARS (1953-1955) While at Baylor University, the Reeds lived a little more t h a n one block from the campus and was able to walk to school each day. In addition to his twice a week orchestra rehearsals, Dean Sternberg asked Reed if he would teach some other classes. "He automatically assumed t h a t I would ask for the graduate classes in composition, and the poor man was thunderstruck when I said t h a t I wanted classes in freshman theory." 5 0 Reed believed t h a t the best teachers, "the biggest guns," should teach the beginning students in order to impart to them a firm foundation in the basics of music theory. He conducted orchestra rehearsals and attended graduate classes during the afternoon sessions. Reed needed one course from Baylor to complete his bachelor's degree, a course in religion, which was required of all students who earned degrees at this Southern Baptist affiliated institution. He was awarded his Bachelor's of Music degree, Cum Laude, in 1955 and immediately began taking courses t h a t would apply toward a master's degree. Interestingly enough, Reed took no formal composition or orchestration courses while at Baylor University. The only discussions about composition he had w a s when he met with Sternberg to discuss and evaluate his progress towards his master's degree. He took piano lessons with William McKamie, who was a former student of Sternberg's, and also took a course in music psychology. Reed's time at Baylor was not always easy. He suffered a number of disappointments and was confronted with many realizations. Because he had been educated mostly by private teachers and in a conservatory setting, he was unaware of the additional requirements placed on students who were working toward a liberal arts degree and the amount of bureaucracy involved with the operation of a public educational institution. Reed also did not anticipate t h a t his colleagues and fellow students would teach and perform at a level less t h a n which he was accustomed to at Juilliard.

Biography I had absolutely no idea of what went on in colleges or universities until I was 34. Believe me, some of my biggest disappointments came about because I w a s working with people who didn't quite meet the standard, and I had to learn how to deal with t h a t too. At first I was terribly upset about it. 5 1
Reed continued to be involved in the recording business a s the musical director for WORD Records which was based in Waco, Texas. One of his most memorable achievements came when he w a s able to get special permission from the local musicians union to hire and pay union musicians less t h a n union-scale wages in order to record music under the WORD Record label. WORD Records w a s considered to be a relatively small operation t h a t recorded music for a limited audience of religious music lovers. This endeavor took only a small amount of time from his schedule, but kept him active in the recording industry. Since Reed's original assignment from Hansen was to write music for young band students, it was considered to be a great advantage for him to observe young bands, meet their directors, attend the state band functions and meetings, understand their needs, and establish his and the corporation's name in this quickly expanding market. Between 1953-1955 he wrote many popular music arrangements t h a t were quick sellers. Reed often worked with musicians who were members of the musicians union in Waco, Texas, and one such local union representative happened to be a child welfare officer. In 1954, this welfare officer, after being told by the Reed's of their desire to start a family, initiated the process for them to adopt their first child. On September 28, 1954, Richard Judson Reed, who was five months old, was adopted. This adoption dramatically changed the Reed's lives. In 1955, Reed wrote his first published choral work for Martha Barkema, the director of the choir at Baylor University. The choral program at Baylor was very active, possibly as a result of the strong tradition of singing as a means of expressing worship to God within the Southern Baptist Church, but most probably because of t h e work of Barkema. Because he lived under such a strong choral influence every day while at Baylor, most of the music t h a t Reed wrote was composed for the choir. Reed wrote and dedicated The Prophecy to Barkema. This composition was awarded a prize in a contest sponsored by the Texas Federated Music Club at its 40th Annual Convention in March 1955. The Nativity was another large scale choral work which Reed composed in which the Magnificat section segued into Gustav Hoist's Christmas Day. Reed's interest in literature began to influence his musical composition during this time. His Tears, Idle Tears was based on a text by Alfred, Lord

Tennyson. He also wrote a setting of Full Fathom Five, Thy Father Lies from Shakespeare's "The Tempest." While at Baylor, Reed began working on, but did not finish, Rhapsody for Viola and Orchestra, the composition that would ultimately fulfill the requirements for his Master of Music degree in composition at Baylor. He had never written a large orchestral work before this one and decided to construct this piece of music in two sections, Lento and Allegro, based on a theme t h a t was heavily influenced by Bartok's music. Because he was busy taking classes, conducting the orchestra, and working for the Hansen Corporation, he was unable to complete the score for this work. His Master of Music degree was eventually conferred by Baylor in 1956. In the summer of 1955, with a full-time job already set up a t the Hansen Corporation, the Reed's left Waco, Texas to return to New York City. Upon returning to New York City, he took a few weeks to finish the score for Rhapsody for Viola and Orchestra and began working full-time for the Charles H. Hansen Music Corporation on West 57th Street in New York City. THE HANSEN YEARS (1955-1966) The Hansen years began and overlapped the two years t h a t I was at Baylor, and when I finished a t Baylor, and gotten my degrees, the firm had expanded to the point where they felt t h a t I should come back. I h a d presumably soaked up all the experience in t h a t part of the country t h a t I could, and it was time for me to come back to New York and take over the arranging department. 5 2 During the summer of 1955, when Reed went to work fulltime for the Hansen corporation, Charles Hansen released him from this first contract and told Reed t h a t if he wrote any original music and wished for it to be published by the Hansen corporation, it would be done without reservation. However, he could also publish with any other company t h a t he felt would be better suited to market his music. Throughout his life, Reed had the good fortune of working with some of the most influential people in the music business, and his time with Hansen was no exception. At one time the corporation had offices in Chicago, St. Louis, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Dallas, but none remained open as long as the New York office. The main headquarters of the corporation was on the sixth floor of a building located at 119 West 57th Street in New York City. When the Hansen corporation began to grow, it needed more warehouse space,

Biography
and later moved into the first floor of the same building. This w a s the main headquarters of the business until 1958, when it moved to Miami Beach, Florida. During his early years at Hansen, Reed wrote and arranged many pieces of music. He continued to write music during his entire association with Hansen even though he gradually entered into a supervisory role in the arranging, editing, and publishing departments. Throughout his thirteen years with Hansen he wrote and published some 19 original works and 10 transcriptions for band, 7 scores for musical shows, 10 motion picture scores, 17 compositions and arrangements for instrumental solo, 6 arrangements for vocal ensembles, a number of arrangements of Disney music, and some arrangements which were included in a concert jazz band series. He was also compiler and editor for over 110 arrangements for marching band. Hansen did not assign employees professional titles. "Titles didn't mean a thing. It was the old one for all and all for one. Everybody operated on an equal basis. Everybody called each other by their first names, and there were no partitions or office doors with titles on them." 5 3 Although Reed never had an official title, he listed the position he held at the Hansen corporation on his resume a s Executive Editor of Instrumental and Choral Publications. As an executive editor Reed decided what would and would not be published. Reed made this kind of decision based on p a s t experience, the previous offerings of the publisher, and intuition. Reed also assumed some of the duties of what he labels a "working editor." The working editor proofreads and edits the manuscript, helps design the art work, and keeps the entire process moving along expeditiously. Fundamentally, I was a writer and a composer of original music and an arranger of other people's music. After a while, I took over most of the production details and oversaw complete publications from the original manuscript to the 5000 printed copies coming from the printer. 5 4 While he was with Hansen, Reed developed a love for traveling and presenting clinics. As part of his promotional duties, Reed would travel the country to conduct primarily his own music and sometimes other composers' music included in Hansen's catalog. Reed began to develop his philosophy about publishing during the time t h a t he was working at Hansen. When he went to work at the Hansen Corporation, Reed admittedly was "ignorant" about the intricacies of publishing. He took every bit of knowledge he could acquire about publishing and allowed it to shape his

33
philosophy, one he developed over a period of 40 years and h a s undoubtedly been tested and reevaluated many times. One could say t h a t his entire philosophy about publishing is based on one word, performance. "The reason a publisher invests thousands of dollars in a piece is not just to give the lucky writer an ego trip in seeing his name in print. The object of publication always has been, is today, and must continue to be, performance." 5 5 Immediately after agreeing to join the firm, part-time, in January 1953, Reed was asked to write a version of Russian Christmas Music that could be performed by younger players and included in a Hansen series of works for young bands. Again, Walter Beeler's name m u s t be associated with this composition. Beeler suggested before he left Hansen t h a t the firm should immediately acquire a scaled down version of Russian Christmas Music. The Slavonic Folk Suite was written for Hansen as a result of Beeler's suggestion. The Russian hymn tune, "Cathedral Chorus," on which the work was based was published in 1955 separately as a vocal arrangement; this arrangement may be used either in conjunction with or independent of Slavonic Folk Suite. When Charles Hansen was ready to publish Slavonic Folk Suite he asked Reed if he had another work that could be published at the same time. Reed gave a setting of one of Bach's 371 Chorales to Hansen for publication, the Sarabande and Double for woodwind quartet which he transcribed during his studies with Yartin. Reed began to consider the possibility of making more of Bach's music available to larger numbers of performers. He became especially interested in making it available to wind groups at educational institutions so they would have the experience of performing music which they would never have had the opportunity to do otherwise. His interest in arranging a large number of works by Bach for the wind group was not fully realized until 16 years later and will be addressed further. While attending the Texas Music Educators Convention in February of 1956, Reed met the educational director of the G. Leblanc Corporation, Donald McCathern. As the two spoke, McCathern suggested t h a t Reed write a five-movement suite t h a t could be used to demonstrate the characteristics of each of the five clarinets manufactured by the Leblanc Company. McCathern suggested t h a t each instrument, E-flat soprano, B-flat soprano, E-flat alto, B-flat bass, and B-flat contra bass clarinet, be featured in its own dance-like movement. Because McCathern wanted to premiere the work at the Tri-State Festival in Enid, Oklahoma on May 11, 1956, Reed had less t h a n two months to write it. However, it w a s completed on time. Immediately following the premiere of Five Dances for Five Clarinets, Reed was asked to write a piece that could be used to open

the Tri-State Festival each year. The result of the festival committee's request was A Festival Prelude. This work premiered at the 1957 Tri-State Festival, but remained unpublished until 1962. The work sold so many copies in its first six years in print t h a t the executives at E. B. Marks requested t h a t Reed score an orchestral version, which they published in 1968. To date, the band work h a s sold about 17,000 copies. During the summer of 1956, Reed's father died. His father h a d a history of h e a r t problems, and lived for 13 years after his first h e a r t attack. At this point Reed was totally alone in the world when it came to blood relatives. J u s t as he did when his mother died about twenty years earlier, he once again felt this void in his life. He and his father were very close and spent a great deal of time together. In fact, his father lived with Alfred and Marjorie until his death. In the spring of 1957, the Reeds adopted their second son, Michael Carlson Reed. Michael is their oldest son although he w a s the second to be adopted. Michael was born in November 1953 and was four and a half years old at the time he was adopted. Relatively early in his tenure with the Hansen corporation Reed was called to a meeting in Charles Hansen's office where he, Hansen, and Kalban discussed the possibility of arranging a number of works licensed from the Walt Disney Company. They were interested in Reed writing these arrangements under a pseudonym because they were concerned about how he would be perceived, and how the sales of his music would be affected when the musical "purists" found out t h a t he was arranging Disney tunes. Reed told Hansen and Kalban t h a t he did not have any problem writing these Disney arrangements under his own name and asked for further explanation as to why they thought he should use a pseudonym. After considerable discussion about the potentially harmful effects of a "serious" composer associating his name with "popular" music, Reed agreed to adopt not one, but two pseudonyms. The n a m e under which he wrote the Disney arrangements was a "house name," meaning t h a t the Hansen company registered a name with ASCAP under which many composers wrote. If one were to trace the n a m e to find w h a t this composer composed, one would have to be aware t h a t many composers wrote under it. Hansen's house name was Robert Powers, and Reed wrote a complete series of Disney music under it. However, while at Hansen, Reed did write wind band arrangements of three motion picture scores, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and Mary Poppins for the Walt Disney Music Company under his own name. Reed's second pen name, Fred Nelson, belonged exclusively to him and was used only when he wrote arrangements for a Hansen stage band series. Reed selected this name after another composer h a d backed out of a contract with the Hansen corporation. As the story

goes, in 1959 Hansen hired another composer to write an arrangement of the Swinging Shepherd Blues because, according to Reed, it was taking the country by storm and earning a great deal of money in the market. The writer who was originally hired to arrange this t u n e became ill and was not able to complete the work before the deadline given to him. In 1959, Reed won the Luria Prize for his Rhapsody for Viola and Orchestra. Hansen agreed to publish this work, but Reed decided to give it to Boosey & Hawkes, Inc., because they had more experience marketing symphonic music. They published it in 1966. The Luria Contest was sponsored by the Luria Copper and Iron Company, and in 1959 attracted more t h a n 150 entries. The judging panel included the former assistant manager of the Metropolitan Opera House, Francis Robbins, a music critic from the New York Herald Tribune, Jay Friedman, Reed's acquaintance and composer, Roy Harris, and the conductor of the Indiana University Orchestra, Tibor Kozma. In order to pay tribute to a person he greatly respected, and keeping his promise to himself from years earlier, Reed dedicated Rhapsody for Viola and Orchestra to Milton Katims. Reed was eagerly anticipating Katims's premiere performance as viola soloist of the work but was surprised to find out t h a t Katims had stopped playing viola in 1958 after the NBC Symphony Orchestra w a s dissolved. Katims had since become the conductor of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra where he remained for 22 years. Katims suggested t h a t his name be removed from the dedication on the score so t h a t Reed could attach another soloist's name to the work in order to have it performed sooner. Reed removed Katims's name from the work, but always remembered t h a t the composition was written as a tribute to him. In 1960, Reed moved to Miami, Florida. During 1956, Mr. and Mrs. Hansen vacationed in Miami Beach, Florida and fell so much in love with the area t h a t they bought a house and leased business space there. Hansen began moving individual departments to Miami during the next four years, and Reed's department w a s moved there in 1960. As more departments moved to Miami Beach, the originally leased space became too small and Hansen leased a building on West Avenue on Miami Beach, a building which the business still occupies today. Alfred, Marjorie, Richard, and Michael moved to Miami in 1960 and lived in a rented house on North Miami Beach for one year before purchasing their first Florida residence at 2215 Northwest 192nd Terrace in Northwest Miami. Reed remembers being very proud t h a t he was living in a "beautiful L-shaped house built right
around a swimming pool." 56 Reed was again enjoying his piece of

the American dream and was confident t h a t he had, for the time being, attained a certain level of success. In 1961, Charles Hansen called Reed into his office where Sandy King, one of Hansen's most successful salesman, and he were reading a letter from Wilson Walker, the head of the b a n d department at Volkwein Bros. Inc. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Charles Hansen often relied on sales information provided to him from Walker to help plan a production schedule. At the end of the letter was a hand-written postscript which indicated t h a t there w a s no good band arrangement of Greensleeves on the market. Hansen took the letter, tore off the postscript, gave it to Reed, and asked him to write the arrangement. Reed took the assignment and produced one of his most renowned arrangements. Reed also wrote an orchestral version which was published by Kalmus in 1979. The Hansen corporation published a substantial number of arrangements and transcriptions of pieces t h a t were licensed from the original publishers. Their goal was to make as much music available to as many people and performing groups as possible. Hansen had acquired the rights for many popular songs, both contemporary and classic, and in 1958 published a book of 50 b a n d arrangements of such songs. The collection was organized into 18 categories so t h a t the book would not just be another h a p h a z a r d collection of band music. Reed was the chief arranger and editor of this book. Because the collection sold well and directors expressed an interest in the material the Hansen Corporation decided to publish a similar and larger collection of music. In 1961, Hansen decided to more t h a n double the number of arrangements in the collection and publish 101 For Band. This book, and the others in its series were designed for "field show planning or individual use - indoors and out - for concerts, pep-rallies, assemblies, community sing-a-longs, etc." 57 101 For Band was divided into 34 categories. Reed did not do any of the arrangements in this collection, but served as the compiler and editor. The book sold so well t h a t in 1964 the Charles Hansen Music Corporation published 102 For Band, which was divided into 47 categories. In 1965, they published 103 For Band with 47 categories, followed in 1966 by 104 For Band with 49 categories. The 104 For Band differed from the other books in t h a t it included music primarily from Broadway shows. Some of these arrangements are still available from the Hansen corporation in one book entitled 101 - 102 - 103 Band Book. In 1965, at the age of 44, Reed did not feel he had yet achieved his goal of becoming a performed and recognized composer. Even during his time with the Hansen corporation, while in control of his own publication opportunities, he had very little time to write his own music, and once again became restless.

Reed's personal goal when he went to study with Giannini was to learn to write large scale music forms - to learn how to be a serious composer - provides more insight into why he began to consider leaving the Hansen Corporation. Reed knew t h a t one day he would leave Hansen in order to pursue his ultimate dream of being a composer. Although he enjoyed his work at Hansen and never considered it a chore, he was still personally unfulfilled. When Reed first moved to Miami in 1960 he was told by several people to not get mixed up with the University of Miami in any way. Reed completely disregarded this advice and became caught up in the enticements offered by William F. Lee, former dean of the University of Miami School of Music. Dean Lee was a composer and arranger who had written a Music Theory Dictionary, which he took to the Charles H. Hansen Music Corporation to be published. It was while Lee was visiting the Hansen corporation t h a t he first met Reed. Reed was placed in charge of editing Lee's book, and as work on the production progressed, the men became better acquainted. Lee invited Reed to spend some time at the University of Miami in order to see what was happening there. Going against all the advice given to him, Reed visited the campus and w a s "pleasantly surprised" with what he saw and heard. He w a s especially impressed with Lee's enthusiasm, drive, and foresight, and felt confident t h a t what he had been told by critics of the University was no longer true. In fact, he was so interested in w h a t was happening at the University that, when Lee suggested he teach a class, he readily accepted the appointment. During the fall semester of 1965, Reed taught his first music merchandising class at the University of Miami. He taught the class one evening each week while still working at the Hansen corporation during the day. He joined the faculty at the University of Miami, fulltime, in 1966. THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI YEARS (1966-1993) During this time of transition, Reed began traveling outside of the United States to conduct and lecture. Those travels piqued his interest, and laid the groundwork and foundation for his future involvement in many countries. One of the first countries he visited was Canada. In 1965, Reed's first trip to Canada was to Fort Cappella, Saskatchewan, where he taught at the Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts. Prior to this trip, Reed had met the director of the school, Frank Connell, while attending the Northern Tri-State Festival in Dickinson, North Dakota.

Two years later, in 1967, Connell commissioned Reed to compose a piece based on Canadian Indian themes in honor of Canada's 100th anniversary on becoming a unified country. The work he composed was named after Lake Wapawekka in Saskatchewan, which means "white sands" in the language of the Cree nation, and was premiered on August 5, 1967 by the Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts Concert Band. His involvement in Canada h a s spanned a time period of more t h a n 30 years, and he continues to regularly contribute articles to the Canadian Band Journal in his column "South of the Border." Soon after he began teaching at the University of Miami parttime, Reed became acquainted with another member of the faculty, Frederick Ashe, who presented to Reed his idea for a new music theory book. Reed liked Ashe's idea and took it to Charles Hansen who agreed to publish the book when it was completed. In only a m a t t e r of weeks Reed was informed t h a t a tragedy had taken place at the University. Reed, once again felt as though fate was providing him with a new door to walk through and he described the situation when he said: I could not but regard it as some kind of an omen even though I do not consider myself fatalistic or superstitious more t h a n anyone else. When Frederick Ashe committed suicide on my birthday, J a n u a r y 25, in 1966, I got a call from Bill Lee saying you have to help us out here. 5 8 During the spring 1966 semester, Reed began working one full day each week at the University teaching the classes t h a t Frederick Ashe had been assigned, in addition to his music merchandising class. As time passed, Reed began to enjoy his teaching responsibilities, and he was asked by Lee to join the faculty full-time in order to further develop the music merchandising program. Reed determined t h a t this was another time when "fate was gently nudging him forward" and decided to enter academia. "I felt t h a t if I liked teaching, and teaching liked me, I had 20 years to pass on my experience to the next generation." 5 9 Up until this time, Reed continued working at the Hansen Corporation, while he was teaching at the University, part-time. However, late in the spring of 1966, Reed discussed his now full-time offer from the University of Miami with Charles Hansen. Hansen a n d Reed dissolved their contract and parted company as friends. Reed received his last pay check from the firm in J u n e 1966 and s t a r t e d the fall semester of 1966 as a full-time associate professor of music at the University of Miami.

Coming to the University of Miami, I would, for the first time, have the time to become a composer. It is really only [during those] 27 years t h a t I [was] able to t u r n out the bulk of my own music. That was a very compelling reason to tell Charlie Hansen, after 13 years, I think I have to move on now, because some of the things t h a t I want to do I can't do here. 6 0 Reed's connection with the school band movement did not end with termination of his employment at Hansen. Immediately after leaving Hansen in the Summer of 1966, he became the a s s i s t a n t director of the School Band of America. This organization selected high school musicians from all over the United States to participate as members in a band t h a t would rehearse for a few days in the United States and then depart for a foreign concert and sight-seeing tour. Reed toured Europe with this group during the summers of 1966 and 1967. Reed continued to be involved with summer touring b a n d s through his affiliation with the All-American Youth Honor Band. This organization was established by Dean William Lee and administered by a Miami area travel agency. The group, comprised of 80 select high school band members, toured the Southern hemisphere during the summer months. Reed conducted the AllAmerican Youth Honor Band on two tours. Frederick Fennell and Clifton Williams also shared the conducting responsibilities of this band. In 1968, in recognition for his involvement with the AllAmerican Youth Honor Band, Reed was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Music degree from the International Conservatory of Music in Lima, Peru. Reed, Clifton Williams, and Dean Lee all received their honorary doctoral degrees from this institution at the same time. Initially, Reed's teaching assignment was split between the departments of Music Education, in which he taught the music merchandising courses, and Music Theory and Composition, in which he taught music theory courses. Specifically, Reed taught the sophomore honors music theory classes, large form composition, modern counterpoint, and a course in modal counterpoint. Because all of the classes did not meet every semester, Reed had more time then he did before to compose and became involved in developing his music merchandising program. Reed also developed an interest in, and realized the need for, sharing his knowledge of composition with the next generation, but interestingly enough, he still had not had what he considered to be any composition students of his own. He indicated t h a t he was so busy with his teaching and his own writing t h a t he had little if any

Biography
time to devote to any private composition students. However, Reed did not isolate himself from any students who were interested in him looking at their work and he did provide feedback to many of them about their compositions. "Off the record, on an unofficial basis, I made myself available to those graduate-students who wanted me to look over their work and make comments on it, even though it w a s not on a regular lesson basis." * 6 1 Reed was initially hired by Dean Lee to teach a music merchandising course. The course became so popular t h a t Reed and Lee decided there was a need to offer more courses within a degree program; the result of which was the music merchandising program. One could characterize Reed as the founding father of all music merchandising programs in the United States, but Reed is quick to indicate t h a t William Lee was the co-founding father. The two men worked together, using their respective talents in their own areas of expertise to establish a program t h a t was "the first and certainly the first to be accredited by NASM [the National Association of Schools of Music]." 6 2 At the time, no other school had a program t h a t trained students to work in the music business as publishers, salespeople, managers, and promoters. Baskerville (1985) acknowledges "those who pioneered in the music business education field, Dr. William Lee and Dr. Alfred Reed of the University of Miami. They established the first university degree program in music merchandising." 6 3 Reed's responsibility was to develop the curriculum, including course content, t h a t would cover the material necessary to send students into the field with a background and knowledge base t h a t would qualify them for jobs and justify their spending time and money to study. He was given complete freedom in designing the courses. Fennell recalled the zeal with which Reed worked to establish the program when he said, "Alfred took those courses very seriously and they were constantly updated and considered to be unique and extraordinary by experts in the field." 6 4 In 1967, Reed met a gentlemen who inspired and influenced him a great deal. This man was Joseph Handleman. Handleman was a successful businessman who earned his living as a nationwide distributor of women's health and beauty products to drug stores and supermarkets. Although he never played an instrument, he always h a d an interest in listening to music and decided t h a t during the 1950s because music was then becoming available at a reasonable cost on vinyl discs, he would include LP albums as part of his * Reed did mention several successful composers that he would regularly meet with to discuss their work, but these students were not truly composition students of Reed's. Those people were Kenneth Fuchs, Robert Longfield, Clark McAlister, and Yukiko Nishimura.

Handleman was one of the first individuals to realize the potential of marketing record albums in venues t h a t were not specifically intended to do so, and he proved to be very successful in doing this. In 1967, Handleman contacted the University of Miami after hearing about the music merchandising program from some of his friends. He visited the campus and attended a music merchandising forum. After the forum he expressed an interest in helping the program and the School of Music, the results of which were the construction of the Handleman Institute of Recorded Sound and the establishment of an endowment to supplement the operating budget of the music industry program. In the early 1970s, Handleman invited Reed to accompany him on a trip to New York City to meet the presidents of "the big three" record companies. Handleman introduced Reed to Clive Davis of CBS records, Norman Racusin of RCA Victor, and Bob Whiteman of ABC/Paramount. Reed said, "I was extremely impressed with the deference with which Joe Handleman was treated when it w a s announced t h a t he was coming. I'll never forget how Clive Davis personally came out to the elevator in the hall to escort us into his office." 65 After the meetings, these record companies sent representatives to the University of Miami to participate in a discussion which focused on what they could do to help the School of Music and the Music Merchandising program. During the meeting, Reed had an opportunity to share information about the music merchandising program and to establish contacts t h a t eventually lead to internship opportunities for students from the music merchandising program. Reed began to notice since starting to work at the University of Miami he had more time to write music, and so he began to seek other ways to eliminate unproductive time from his schedule in order to devote more time to his writing. He lived in the Northwest section of Miami for two years and in 1968, in order to eliminate travel time to and from school, he decided to move to Coral Gables where the University of Miami is located. "I told my wife t h a t we were going to stay here [at the University of Miami] and t h a t she had exactly a four-block radius in which to find a house." 6 6 They purchased the home they now occupy at 1405 Ancona Avenue, Coral Gables, Florida. "The time t h a t I saved, five days a week, 52 weeks a year, made it possible for me to write all the notes t h a t were to be written if I were really to be a composer." 6 7 While at the University of Miami, Reed wrote more t h a n 140 published works. Fifty-eight of these works were original compositions for wind groups, 36 were transcriptions and arrangements for wind groups, 21 were original works, transcriptions, and arrangements for orchestra, 12 were written for

Biography
solo instrument and ensemble, eight were for chorus, and five were for marching band. More t h a n 70 of these works were commissions. While discussing the quantity of his work Reed said, "If you look a t my list of published works from 1953 to 1966, and then compare t h a t output to the next 13 years, 1966 to 1979, you would see a tremendous increase in productivity." 6 8 Among all these compositions only a few were written for University of Miami ensembles and none were ever written for any of the University's large wind groups. The Russian Christmas Music familiar to most people today was published in 1968, 24 years after it was originally written. Reed again changed the instrumentation in order to "keep with the developing instrumentation of the serious band or wind ensemble ... to achieve even greater clarity of texture and the utmost sonority possible." 6 9 It is interesting to note t h a t Reed feels t h a t the piece h a s received more praise and recognition t h a n perhaps it deserves. He does not believe that Russian Christmas Music is a bad work, but rather t h a t it does not represent his best effort and is not a true measure of his writing style. "I regard it [the Russian Christmas Music] strictly as a young man's piece." 70 In the summer of 1969, Reed received a letter from Charles Barnhouse, head of the C. L. Barnhouse Corporation. In the letter Barnhouse asked if he was available to write for the C. L. Barnhouse catalog. Reed at this time was obligated to a "gentlemen's agreement" with Bernard Kalban, who had left the Hansen corporation and was now at E. B. Marks Music Company. The agreement gave Kalban the first right to publish any of his new compositions. If Kalban declined to publish a composition, then he could pursue publication elsewhere. Reed wrote Barnhouse to inform him about the agreement and to tell him t h a t if he could offer a work in the future he would; A Jubilant Overture was that work. The work was premiered in J a n u a r y of 1970. Reed continues to be associated with the Barnhouse company to this day and h a s published many works with them, including more t h a n 15 arrangements of Bach's music as part of the Barnhouse Bach Series. These arrangements have become standards in the repertoire and set the standard by which other arrangers of Bach's music are measured. When Reed worked with Bach's music he did not "water down" any of the original material to make it more easily played. He did, however, feel at liberty to expand upon any of Bach's original music in order to further develop an idea or create a new one. This expansion and adding of his own material was what Reed called a "recomposition" of Bach's original ideas. Some of the works Reed produced required him to add very little additional music, such as If Thou Be Near and My Jesus, Oh What Anguish. In most of the other
Biography
43
works, Reed added many new lines of music. In the case of Thus Do respect for Reed's ability as a result of his experience with Russian theme; the rest was his. The belief t h a t if Bach's music was left in its original form, too many musicians would never have the opportunity to play it was the inspiration which moved him to arrange so many of Bach's works for wind band. This is how he justified spending so much time working with "another man's music" instead of with his own. Another one of Reed's accomplishments while at the University of Miami was administering a music publishing operation. Reed credits Dean Lee with the idea to begin a music publication business, University of Miami Music Publications (UMMP). This publishing venture was a partnership between the University of Miami and the Sam Fox Music Publishing Company. The terms of the agreement dictated t h a t University of Miami would pay the costs incurred from editing, art work, and engraving the compositions, after which Sam Fox printed, bound, packed, stored, advertised, and shipped the finished product to the consumer. Any profit was split equally between the University and Sam Fox. UMMP enjoyed a successful but short-lived tenure. The first UMMP publication w a s issued in 1970, and the last was printed in 1974. During these four years, 62 publications were produced, some of which are still selling today. In 1970, Reed published his first work with the UMMP, Villabela. This was an arrangement of a march originally written by Kenneth Williams entitled Houston on the Move. Reed rewrote the work because he felt the melodic material t h a t Williams wrote would sound better with a Latin background and feeling. The title of the march comes from the name of a street in Coral Gables, Florida t h a t is spelled two different ways on the street signs. The second work t h a t Reed published with UMMP w a s Variations on L.B.I.F.D., an acronym for "London Bridge is Falling Down." This work was written in 1969 for a sophomore honors music theory class t h a t Reed was teaching. The class had been studying 20th Century techniques and he was requested to compose a work using all these techniques t h a t they were studying. One of the students in the class was Samuel Pilafian, a founding member of the Empire Brass, who became the class spokesperson for this activity. Pilafian organized the performing ensemble, a b r a s s quintet, and picked the theme t h a t would be used for the composition. The theme is treated 28 different ways based on techniques described in Vincent Persichetti's 20th Century Harmony textbook. On J a n u a r y 25, 1971, Mrs. Reed presented her h u s b a n d with a complete darkroom permanently set up in their home. As a young boy, Reed developed an interest in photography. He learned to
44
Biography
process his own film and as an adult has won several prizes for photographs t h a t he entered in small contests. Prior to receiving his darkroom, Reed used the bathrooms of their homes as his darkroom and Mrs. Reed had become tired of all the bottles of chemicals sitting under the sink, the equipment stored in the closets, and the photographs hanging from the shower curtain to dry. The new darkroom takes up one-half of their two car garage and is literally a room of its own with large sinks, shelves, and all of the necessary equipment to develop and print black and white photographs. Reed still looks forward to spending time in his darkroom because it is a complete change of pace to "create" visual art as compared to aural art. When I go into the darkroom and close the door I am in a totally different world. I forget about music a s much as I can, and after I get caught up in the printing, developing, enlarging, and the decision making t h a t is involved in making black and white pictures, I am completely relaxed. 7 1 Reed's experience and success while writing for radio and television during the 1940s and 1950s, and his love for literature, led him and many of his peers to believe t h a t he would ultimately be a writer of some kind of stage music. He said, "The amazing thing is t h a t I thought in my younger years t h a t this was the direction t h a t I was headed in." 7 2 While at the University of Miami, Reed continued to be involved in theater music through the University's Ring Theater. In the late 1970s, the then director of the Ring Theater at the University of Miami, Delmar Solem, was receptive to giving composers the opportunity to write original music for one of the theater's productions. Reed composed music for two productions written by one of his favorite poets/playwrights, William Shakespeare. Reed wrote the music for a production of the Tempest, which was scored for symphony orchestra and solo guitar. The music he wrote for the Tempest was never adapted for winds, unlike music he wrote for a production of Othello. Reed later revised the music into a work for wind band: Othello: Symphonic Portrait. Othello: Symphonic Portrait held a great deal of sentimental meaning to Reed because he composed the piece with support from the Walter Beeler Commissioning Fund, which was established to pay tribute to Beeler by Ithaca College. Fennell said: He came to see me one day in my studio to say t h a t he had received a grant from the Ithaca College people who wanted to honor Walter Beeler. I

remember t h a t Alfred spoke with considerable pride and great enthusiasm for what he might be able to do.73 Othello: Symphonic Portrait evolved from 24 individual pieces of music originally written for the theater production. Because most of the music was written as accompaniment, not feature music, Reed did extensive rescoring to assure t h a t the melodies were clear and the sonorities were effective. Othello: Symphonic Portrait was first performed on October 12, 1977 by the Ithaca College Symphonic Wind Ensemble under Reed's direction. In 1980, Frederick Fennell, who was the conductor of the University of Miami Wind Ensemble was forced to retire because of an established mandatory retirement age. At the age of 65, Fennell retired and Reed was appointed as the conductor of the wind ensemble, a position t h a t he held for seven years. Because of his new responsibility, he was relieved of his teaching assignment in the Music Theory and Composition Department and began advising and instructing the graduate instrumental conducting students and conducting the wind ensemble. In 1987, at the same time he was released from the wind ensemble, Reed was appointed the chairman of the department of Music Media and Industry by Dean William Hipp, who h a d succeeded Bill Lee as Dean of the School of Music. This department housed the Music Engineering, Studio Writing and Production, and Music Industry programs. It appears t h a t Reed was given this new responsibility to ameliorate any unpleasant feelings he may have been experiencing after his release from the wind ensemble. The University of Miami School of Music has had its share of renowned faculty members, including a number of individuals associated with the wind band movement. At one time Frederick Fennell, John Kinyon, Reed, and Clifton Williams were on the faculty at the same time. Reed knew Williams for 20 years and shared adjoining offices with him during the ten years they were on the faculty together. According to Reed, there was never any rivalry or jealousy between them and they got along very well. Williams and Reed often discussed and compared their experiences while guest conducting. The relationship between Reed and Kinyon was not a s amicable as the relationship between him and Williams. Reed characterized his relationship with Kinyon as professional and respectful: in fact, Kinyon frequently expressed an interest in seeing Reed's new works. Reed said Kinyon even asked him to lecture and guest conduct in a number of Kinyon's classes. "We had a sort of gentleman's agreement t h a t I would not intrude on his territory, which was the junior high school level or below." 7 4 Even though the
46
Biography
two men had an unwritten agreement, Reed did accept two commissions for junior high level performers. In 1972, Reed wrote Imperatrix is the first of two works that he wrote, to this point, for a junior high level performing group. Specifically, Imperatrix was written for the G. P. Babb Junior High School in Forest Park, Georgia. The band director, Donald Wilkes, told Reed t h a t his band was considered to be one of the better junior high school bands in the United States and would be interested in, and enjoy the challenge of, performing a piece of "real" music. Reed completed the work in February 1972. The premiere took place in May 1972, but Reed was unable to attend the performance because of a previous engagement. Reed later conducted a performance of the work with the G. P. Babb Junior High School Band at the Mid-West Clinic in December 1972. Much later, in 1992, Reed wrote With Trumpets and Drums, t h e second of two commissions, to this point, for a junior high level group. The Lions Junior Band in Regina, Saskatchewan, C a n a d a was comprised of junior high school age musicians who were selected from the community to participate in this band. The ensemble w a s chosen to perform at the Mid-West Clinic and its director decided to commission a work to premiere during their performance. The relationship between Reed and Frederick Fennell transcended being collegial and approached a deep, long-term friendship. While discussing his friendship with Fennell, Reed said: In the profession it is very difficult to be really good friends with people who are doing the same thing t h a t you are doing. Courtesy, good manners, and good breeding dictate t h a t on the surface we try a n d maintain a semblance of friendship, and sometimes it can be deeper t h a n a semblance. 7 5 Fennell first became aware of Reed's music during the mid19408 when he was contacted by Walter Beeler who alerted him about a new piece of wind band music, Russian Christmas Music. Subsequently, Fennell rented and performed it with the E a s t m a n School Symphony Band. Fennell met Reed for the first time in 1947 during a trip to New York City. He recalled sitting in a corridor a t the NBC building discussing Russian Christmas Music with Reed and his wife Margie. Fennell described their first meeting by saying: Afterward, Alfred invited me to go, with his across the street from Radio City Music Hall spaghetti joint. As I think I recall, t h a t is the [and only] time Alfred ever bought a meal any

t h a t I was involved in it, but at least he bought t h a t one. 7 6 During the following years, Fennell and Reed remained in contact on a regular basis until 1966, when Reed joined Fennell as a member of the faculty at the University of Miami. During the 14 years they were both on the faculty their relationship grew and they became very good friends. Fennell characterized Reed as a person who is "sympathetic" and "willing to go any mile to discuss anything with you, not necessarily to agree with you, but certainly to understand you." 77 Both men described their discussions as always frank, candid, sincere, professional, and enjoyable. Both enjoyed matching wits and debating points; however, this never affected either man's opinion of the other, and it is believed t h a t each holds the other in high regard. In fact, Reed, Fennell and their spouses spent many hours in each other's homes socializing. According to Fennell, Reed's contribution to the music world h a s been the "enormous amount of repertoire" t h a t he has provided to a medium t h a t was, and still is, in need of quality works. More important, according to Fennell, is the number of original wind works Reed has added to the repertoire. "I think t h a t no one should discount the contribution, just in repertoire, of Alfred's. Who can say w h a t repertoire will, or will not be around tomorrow, or w h a t repertoire will be ruling the musical roost." 7 8 Fennell believed t h a t much of Reed's music will be around for a long time because "it obviously is music t h a t so many people are very happy to hear, and which, of course, in Alfred's case, so many publishers have been very, very happy to publish." 7 9 One of Fennell's favorite works by Reed is the Symphony No. 3 which was commissioned by the United States Air Force Band and their conductor Col. Arnald Gabriel. In 1983 Gabriel initiated a series of commissioned works from American wind band composers. He called Reed and asked if he would be interested in writing a work for the series. Reed had to decline the commission at t h a t time because he had already committed himself to other works with pressing deadlines, and could not begin writing the new work for a t least a year. Even though Gabriel knew t h a t it may be a number of years before the commission was fulfilled, he was willing to wait. Reed was unable to begin preliminary sketches of the work until 1986. After completing the work Reed contacted the new conductor of the band, Lt. Col. Bankhead and sent him the parts. Bankhead notified Reed that Symphony No. 3 would be premiered at the Music Educators National Conference being held in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1988.
48 Biography Reed had long been interested in the music of Richard Wagner and used some of Wagner's music as the basis for the second movement oi Symphony No. 3. While reading the fourth volume of Earnest Newman's biography about Wagner, he saw a 13-measure theme t h a t Wagner had written for but never used in Tristan and Isolde. Reed became enamored with the "Porazzi" theme and knew t h a t someday he would use it in a composition. Much as I dislike cliche, it came to me in a flash, how and why I don't know, but it suddenly came up in my mind t h a t the perfect contrast to this first movement, and what I was looking forward to in the third would be something with this "Porazzi" theme. 8 0 The writing of this second movement, according to Reed, seemed to progress so easily t h a t he almost sensed t h a t "someone was guiding my hand, and the movement wrote itself." 8 1 Frederick Fennell indicated t h a t the second movement of Symphony No. 3 is one of Reed's most significant works. According to Fennell, Reed was capable of "perhaps without even thinking about it, making all the variations be as though they actually came from Tristan. My feeling is they do. They are developments t h a t he didn't get to, t h a t is Wagner didn't get to, but Alfred did." 8 2 Reed's relationship with Harry Begian spans many years, and it was difficult to determine where to place the majority of this information in the volume. Since much of the information needs to be presented in context, it was determined t h a t all the information should be presented at the same time. The following is an account of many years of a relationship. Begian's first experience with Reed's music was during the 1950s while conducting Russian Christmas Music and Ballade for Alto Saxophone with his high school band, Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Michigan. Begian characterizes Reed's music in highly complimentary terms. He said, "I respect Alfred tremendously and believe him to be one of the best musicians in the band field." Also, he "knows his craft as well or better t h a n anyone in the business. He is facile in his work, and nothing of his t h a t I have heard or conducted comes out as a dud." 8 3 Further, Begian said Reed writes "memorable, appealing, and natural melodies which make his music enjoyable to the performer and listener." 8 4 Begian views Reed as an excellent arranger of folk music from other cultures. Begian even suggests t h a t Reed may be a better arranger of previously existing music t h a n a composer of original music. Begian so admired the skill with which Reed incorporated Eastern Orthodox folk music along with his own original music in Russian Christmas Music that he asked Reed, in 1963, to write a

piece based on Armenian folk music. Reed told Begian t h a t he w a s working on a number of other compositions at the time and could not promise when the work would be completed. Begian exercised what could only be described as the patience of a saint and waited over eight years for the first movement, "Part I," of Armenian Dances to be completed. During those eight years, Begian asked Reed only once about the status of the work, and t h a t was in 1971 while they were attending the Mid-West Clinic. Reed told Begian t h a t he was working on the piece and t h a t he should not worry. Begian responded to Reed's retort by saying: "You didn't by any chance think t h a t I was expecting a freebie when I asked you to do this piece for me, did you? I fully intend to pay you a fee; t h a t was the verbal commission t h a t I agreed to!" You know, I got the score to Armenian Dances, Part I, the very next year. 8 5 Begian gave the first performance of "Part I" on J a n u a r y 10, 1973 at the College Band Directors National Association convention held at the University of Illinois. Begian waited an additional three years for the next three movements, "Part II," of the work. It w a s April 1976 before the first complete performance of Armenian Dances was given, 13 years after the original commission was extended to Reed. After the premiere of the complete Armenian Dances, Begian sent Reed a piece of plainsong from the Armenian Apostolic Church along with a letter t h a t asked Reed to consider writing another "Armenian" work. The original piece of music t h a t Begian sent Reed was traditionally sung only on Easter Sunday; Begian's grandfather had sung the music to him when he was a child. Begian also requested t h a t the commission be fulfilled before another 13 years passed! It turned out t h a t Begian only had to wait 11 years for Praise Jerusalem! According to Begian, this is one of Reed's most significant works "because of the sentimental value and the fine variations and great double fugue t h a t Reed crafted." 8 6 John Paynter, the renowned former director of bands a t Northwestern University and the director of the North Shore Concert Band, remembered first seeing the name Alfred Reed on a piece of music while still in high school. Later, while a student at Northwestern University, Paynter played one of the rented manuscript copies of Russian Christmas Music. Paynter believed Reed's biggest contribution to the music world is the large number of original compositions which he added to the repertoire. Reed's music, according to Paynter, "has all the artistic attributes of the great composers of the past, while in many

cases being easy enough to perform so t h a t a wide constituency can play it." 8 7 Paynter characterizes Reed's music as "practical," because it always sounds like it is perfectly fitted for the wind b a n d . According to Paynter, Reed's orchestrations are "model lessons for young arrangers. Simply put, he is a magnificent arranger [orchestrator]." 8 8 Paynter indicated t h a t Reed influenced him by providing music t h a t he could perform regularly with his university and professional ensembles and use with his conducting students. Paynter offered a very flattering and sincere compliment when he wrote "I am grateful for the fact t h a t he was put on this E a r t h to do the things he h a s done. I admire him tremendously and I respect him beyond all measure." 8 9 THE JAPAN YEARS (1981-Present) Even though Reed's involvement in the wind band movement in J a p a n began in 1981, his activities are discussed separately because the events within, and the unique relationship t h a t h a s developed between he and the musicians in J a p a n w a r r a n t consideration on their own. In addition, they are discussed after most of the information related to the University of Miami, because they continued after his retirement from that institution. Incidentally, as a result of a research grant from the Sinfonia Foundation, the author spent 12 days in J a p a n observing a n d touring with Reed. Some observations from t h a t trip will be presented in this section. Reed's initiation into the J a p a n e s e band world can be attributed to the earlier pioneering of Paul Yoder. Yoder noticed t h a t his royalty statements contained entries from foreign performances and took it upon himself to find exactly where his music was being performed. Yoder discovered t h a t these foreign royalties were from J a p a n and subsequently visited there. During Yoder's visit to Japan, he found many conductors who were interested in and regularly performed Western music. Yoder ultimately helped found and organize the Japanese Band Directors Association and served as a liaison who arranged for many J a p a n e s e bands to perform at the Mid-West Clinic. Yoder also coordinated tours for Japanese bands throughout the United States. Reed said, "Paul more or less became an unofficial ambassador of band music between the United States and Japan." 9 0 Yoder first met Reed while attending a meeting of the joint Florida Band Directors Association and the Florida Association of Band Directors. When the officers and members of these organizations discovered t h a t two contemporary wind b a n d

composers were living in Florida, Reed in North Miami and Yoder less t h a n 30 miles away in South Ft. Lauderdale, both men were in great demand as clinicians, consultants, and adjudicators. The men became close friends and traveled many times together around the state of Florida delivering clinics and serving as adjudicators. Occasionally, Yoder mentioned to Reed t h a t many groups in J a p a n were playing his music, but Reed never thought much about this until he met Yoder's Japanese counterpart, Toshio Akiyama. If Paul Yoder is the American ambassador of wind b a n d music to J a p a n , then it could be said t h a t Toshio Akiyama is the J a p a n e s e ambassador of wind band music to the United States. Following Akiyama's education at the E a s t m a n School of Music, he returned to J a p a n to work at CBS/Sony where he organized and became the conductor of the Sony Concert Band, which is comprised of employees from the Sony Corporation. While Akiyama attended the Mid-West Clinic in 1963 he collected many scores and took them back to J a p a n to study and conduct. Many of these scores were by a composer named Alfred Reed. Akiyama said, "It was my great pleasure, and job, to introduce his [Reed's] music to the J a p a n e s e audiences and band people." 9 1 In 1965, Akiyama became the vice president of the All-Japan Band Association and lobbied to get Reed's Symphonic Prelude on the required literature list for the AllJ a p a n Band Contest. Up to this point, Akiyama never met Reed. He finally introduced himself to Reed at the 1967 Mid-West clinic. Because Akiyama was constantly searching for contemporary wind music, Reed began sending him a score for every new piece t h a t he wrote. Each year, during their visits to the Mid-West clinic, Akiyama told Reed how popular his music was becoming in J a p a n . Akiyama characterizes Reed's compositional technique a s melody centered with a romantic flair. According to Akiyama, "no two pieces of Reed's music are alike and his music has definite audience appeal. His music has many forms and styles including overtures, suites, preludes, or the Shakespeare series, which is very dramatic and much loved by J a p a n e s e band directors." 9 2 When asked to name Reed's best work, Akiyama simply said "everything." It is because of Akiyama's efforts t h a t Reed first visited J a p a n . In 1981, Reed received a letter from Akiyama inviting him to come to J a p a n to conduct a public concert and record an album with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Reed said, "My wife and I arrived there [in Japan] in March of 1981. I was greeted as almost a hero. I had not the slightest idea t h a t in the previous 20 years my music had so gripped Japanese musicians and audiences." 93 During this one-week trip, Reed recorded a two-record LP entitled Alfred Reed and the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. This was Reed's first recording with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra and the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship.

Biography
One of the professional ensembles t h a t Reed regularly conducts in recording and concert sessions is the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra was established and is supported by a group of Buddhist laymen named the Rissho Koseikai. When asked what his title was with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, Reed said, "I guess if you want to call me anything it would be Principal Guest Conductor, because I have been with them more t h a n anyone else." 9 4 Reed consistently spends at least one week each year recording with the ensemble and is most recognized throughout the world in his association with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, even though this ensemble occupies a relatively small proportion of his time in Japan. The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra has extended a remarkable commitment to Reed. They have agreed to record every work Reed h a s written, or writes in the future for wind groups. As of July 1998, they have recorded more t h a n 100 of his compositions. According to Frederick Fennell, "The Kosei Publishing Company's commitment to record every note t h a t Alfred writes, or has written, is unprecedented in the world of the relationship of a composer to a recording company is unique and extraordinary." 9 5 In 1981, soon after his first visit to J a p a n , Reed w a s commissioned by the Rissho Kosei-kai to write Three Revelations for the Lotus Sutra in honor of their founder's 77th birthday. He accepted the commission, observing t h a t there was no better was to pay tribute to a man who h a s devoted all his life to the teachings of Buddha than to base his composition on the writings in the Lotus Sutra. Work began on the composition immediately after the commission was received, but the entire 29 minute work was not completed before the celebratory event. Because Reed began working on the third movement of the composition first, it was the only one completed for the birthday celebration in November 1982, therefore, it was the only one performed. The other movements were not completed until 1983, and the first performance of the entire work was conducted by Frederick Fennell during November 1984. Fennell described the composition when he said, "I think Alfred stretched himself several notches with this work, and I don't just mean the body of composition and ideas, but talking of the composition as a whole." 9 6 Around 1984, Reed began an association with Art Production International (API). The president of API is Kin Aoyama whose brother, Toru Ito, conducts the J a p a n Super Band. Aoyama is responsible for scheduling all of Reed's engagements and commissions in J a p a n , China, and Australia. Aoyama is a softspoken, amiable, and always professional man who appeared to prefer not to be in the limelight. He prides himself in running a

smooth and efficient operation and seemingly receives all the satisfaction he needs for doing so. Aoyama possesses a keen sense of what Reed desires at each appearance and works meticulously to make sure every aspect is prepared. The relationship between the men h a s survived more t h a n ten years and has grown and matured into a confident and secure business association and friendship. Not only h a s wind band music become popular in J a p a n , but, specifically, Reed's wind band music is extremely popular. Fennell said, "I know he certainly is the most played [composer] in J a p a n . I don't think there is much doubt about that. As far as J a p a n is concerned, he is numero unoT 97 Reed is in great demand as a conductor, teacher, and clinician and sometimes his schedule can seem overwhelming. In fact, within a period of 12 days, during the end of November and the beginning of December 1994, Reed rehearsed two Senzoku Gakuen Wind Orchestras, made a guest appearance in another part of the country, delivered a lecture to the top Senzoku Gakuen Wind Orchestra, and rehearsed and recorded ten arrangements on an album for Toshiba/EMI. It could be said t h a t Reed wears three "hats" in J a p a n : (1) t h a t of the conductor and clinician at the Senzoku Gakuen, (2) t h a t of guest conductor of other school and community bands, and (3) t h a t of conductor of professional bands in both concert performance and in the recording studio. The largest portion of Reed's time is spent a t the Senzoku Gakuen which is a private multi-curricular educational complex for students of all ages. Reed works with the older students in the music division of the school. As Reed worked with the Senzoku Gakuen Wind Orchestras (and most other groups in J a p a n ) he was, because of the language barrier, not able to provide the musicians with extensive verbal explanations about how he wanted the music performed; therefore, he used the services of an interpreter. In actual rehearsal situations, however, he relies little on the interpreter to convey his requests to the performers. For lecture sessions the interpreter sometimes arrives early to hear the lecture privately before Reed gives his public lecture, which she or he then translates to the Japanese audience. Most of the time in rehearsal situations it was obvious t h a t many of the performers understood what Reed said before the interpreter translated his words. There was minimal talking from Reed and maximum playing from the group, the net result of which was an efficient and effective rehearsal. He used the interpreter only minimally and provided the group with much aural and visual modeling. He sang and conducted through passages while the performers watched and listened. With groups t h a t have older members he also h a s become familiar with some words for s t a n d a r d J a p a n e s e music terms and note values and uses them regularly. The communication between Reed and the performers was both
54
Biography
enjoyable and intriguing to witness. It was readily apparent t h a t the performers wanted to play Reed's music with as much integrity as possible, and they worked extremely hard to accomplish this. In 1991, Reed was approached by Kazunori Momose, the timpanist in the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, to write a piece for one of his students, Reiko Kono who is a member of t h a t orchestra's percussion section as well. The resulting piece is Concertino for Marimba and Winds. The solo marimba part was written to demonstrate her exceptional technique and musicianship, but the band accompaniment was composed to be playable by a high school band. In February 1992, before this work was released in print, the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra recorded it with Kono as the soloist. Reed conducted this recording. The work was publicly premiered in May 1992, and remained the exclusive property of Kono for the first year in order for her to perform it around the world. It h a s been available to the public since May 1993. Another highlight, and perhaps one of the biggest ironies t h a t h a s taken place since Reed h a s been traveling to J a p a n , occurred in 1992 when he conducted a concert in Tokyo with the J a p a n e s e Ground Self-Defense Forces Band. At the end of the performance he was presented with a uniform which symbolized his honorary induction into the J a p a n e s e militia. Reed never expected t h a t he would have any affiliation with a group t h a t was probably responsible 50 years earlier for disrupting his life and contributing to his entrance into the United States military. Reed said: I couldn't believe t h a t if in 1941 when the J a p a n e s e forced the entrance of the U.S. into World War II and my wife and I had to sell our brand new a p a r t m e n t we had just moved into, and if anyone would have told us then t h a t 50 years later I would be an honorary captain in the J a p a n e s e militia - how can anyone come up with something like that! Wild, there is no other word for it. 9 8 In 1993, one of the highest honors ever bestowed upon Reed was granted. This honor was the establishment of an international music festival named after him to honor his music a n d accomplishments. The Alfred Reed International Association (ARIA) is managed through Art Production International. This organization supports and sponsors a biennial music festival. The first festival, held in August 1993, opened with a contest for saxophonists who were evaluated while performing Reed's Ballade for Alto Saxophone. Reed presented two concerts during this two day event and was the speaker at a "Meet the Composer" session. In a letter to the board members of ARIA, he wrote, "This is surely the greatest honor I have

55
ever experienced, and I can only hope t h a t I will be found worthy of your continued love and support in the years yet to come!" 9 9 Reed h a s a considerable amount of influence in the planning of the ARIA Festivals. He hopes the future of the ARIA Festival involves other composers' music and the publishing of books. Reed said: I, myself, have spoken to the board of directors, and told them even though I an honored t h a t my name is part of the organization, I would hope t h a t in the future it is not just Alfred Reed and Alfred Reed's music, but t h a t ARIA would become the J a p a n e s e organization for the promotion of wind music. 10 ° Perhaps an even more significant honor was paid to Reed in J u n e 1994, when he became one of the first non-Asians ever inducted into the J a p a n e s e Band Association (JBA). Because of prior commitments he was not able to receive his appointment in a ceremony held at the JBA meeting in June; however, he was finally presented with the honor in July 1994, while attending the Asian Band Directors Association conference. Reed's long time friend and colleague, Frederick Fennell, was the other inductee. In 1994, Reed completed his first composition for the Senzoku Gakuen. The commission for Fifth Symphony was extended by the Senzoku Gakuen to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the conservatory. Fifth Symphony was scheduled to be premiered by the school's most advanced wind orchestra during the fall of 1994, but because the wind orchestra was selected to perform at the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles (WASBE) convention being held in Hamamatsu, J a p a n during July 1995, the premiere was rescheduled in order to coincide with the Senzoku Gakuen Wind Orchestra's first appearance at a WASBE convention. On December 2, 1994, while this author was visiting Reed in J a p a n , Reed finished Fifth Symphony, came down from his loft studio and dated the completed composition. On December 6, 1994, after returning to the United States this author received a FAX from Reed saying t h a t the completed score for the symphony was in the h a n d s of the publisher. Perhaps one of the most interesting facets of Reed's life in J a p a n is where he lives. When he is working with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra, Reed resides at the Keio Plaza Hotel in the Shinjuku-ku prefecture of Tokyo, because it is close to the rehearsal and recording facilities. He says the area around this hotel reminds him of M a n h a t t a n in New York City because of the bustling pedestrian traffic and dramatically designed modern skyscrapers. Until May 1994, he was provided living space at the Tobu Hotel in
56
Biography
Shibuya, Tokyo when in J a p a n and not working with the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. Reed noted t h a t this area of the city reminds him of Broadway in New York City, because many young people frequent the numerous clubs, restaurants, and theaters. This area is also filled with many shopping areas and restaurants. As his stays in J a p a n became longer and his association with the Senzoku Gakuen became more demanding, the cost and inconvenience of keeping him in a hotel for a number of months each year became prohibitive. The Senzoku Gakuen was already designing a satellite campus in Yokohama in order to accommodate the increasing number of students enrolled at the conservatory and decided to add a number of apartments on top of one of their new rehearsal halls. In May 1994, he was given exclusive use of a two-story ultra modern apartment. During the summer of 1994, he and his wife moved into and furnished their new apartment, which is fronted by a 22-foot window which Reed can look out of while he is composing in his loft area studio. He said, "the apartment gives Margie and myself a chance to be alone, in a furnished luxury apartment, completely away from anyone else and relax between what is usually a fairly hectic rehearsal and performance schedule." 101 Reed h a s established himself and his music in the minds, h e a r t s , and ears of the J a p a n e s e people. He remains in constant demand as a conductor and clinician with community and school groups and his teaching responsibilities at the Senzoku Gakuen will continue to consume a large portion of his time in J a p a n . Reed h a s standing yearly commitments with the Otonowa and Wajima wind groups. He h a s standing commitments with groups in O s a k a , Sendai, and Fukuoka. The Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra's effort to record all Reed's wind compositions will continue for years to come. Reed will obviously remain the focus of the future ARIA festivals. Further, Reed will continue to receive commissions from J a p a n e s e performing organizations. He will definitely remain active in the Japanese, and Asian, wind music scenes for many years to come. BEYOND THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI YEARS Since retirement from the University of Miami most of Reed's time h a s been spent traveling internationally to conduct and present clinics. The number of extended international trips he has taken since his retirement has increased to an average of four each year. These travels, however, have not only been to J a p a n , but have included trips to Australia, Austria, Canada, Holland, Italy, Norway, and Spain. Since retirement from the University of Miami, the focus of Reed's activities appears to have been as much in Europe as in
Biography
57
J a p a n . In fact, his schedule can easily be filled with appearances in Europe as well as in J a p a n . Reed said: I think it was a matter of my finally being able to accept these engagements, something t h a t I could not do when I was on the faculty of the University of Miami where I was on a 12-month contract, and two of the months during the last nine years were always spent in J a p a n , but now I am available all year around. These offers are coming in, either directly to me, or to my European management, and I am able finally to take advantage of them. 1 0 2 Even though Reed never traveled to Holland until 1993, he first became aware of the wind band movement there while on an air line flight from Tempe, Arizona to Miami, Florida in 1980. That year, the American Bandmasters Association (ABA) convention w a s held in Tempe, and J a n Molenaar, the president of Molenaar Editions publishing, was in attendance. Reed and Molenaar were coincidentally scheduled on the same flight to Miami, where they met and talked for the first time. Molenaar and Reed remained in contact over the years, and in 1991, Molenaar and his associate, Harry Remkus, commissioned Reed to write a work for the 1993 Concours Festival of Music in Kerkrade, Holland. Reed accepted the commission to write "a difficult" composition which was to be the test piece for the most advanced bands t h a t were participating in the festival. The rules of the festival specified t h a t the test piece was to be available to all participating bands through publication before J a n u a r y of the year of the festival and a recording was to be available by February. Reed wrote his Fourth Symphony for the occasion, finished proofreading the score during November 1992, and sent the work to Molenaar for publication. The Koninklijke Militaire Kapeel, the Royal Dutch Military Band, was selected to record the work, and in February 1993, Reed took his first trip to Holland to conduct the recording. Because Fourth Symphony was 18 minutes in length there was time on the recording to include other works by Reed. Pierre Kuipers, the director of the band, selected these additional compositions. Ultimately, the band under Reed's direction recorded an entire compact disk of his music as part of a series honoring wind b a n d composers. Molenaar Editions has become one of Reed's most frequent publishers as a result of Fourth Symphony. He said Fourth Symphony "represents everything I know about the symphonic form as I look at it, and as I think it should be handled." 103
58 Biography In July 1993, Reed was in Spain attending the annual Certamen International Competition and the semi-annual World Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles (WASBE) conference. Reed was not involved in conducting or delivering clinics at the WASBE convention, however, he was involved as a judge a t the Certamen competition. The Certamen International Competition is funded by the local government to promote wind music which, according to Reed, the Spanish take very seriously. It is a tradition for each community to promote and support performing ensembles and most have a community wind band; the bands often include as many as 125 musicians. In J a n u a r y 1994, Reed and his wife departed the warm a n d balmy climate of Miami to journey to the cold and blustery climate of Norway. He recalled being greeted at the airport in Norway by a committee of people who wrapped him in an Elk-skin coat to protect him from the cold, after which he was taken outside to a horse-drawn sleigh. The main purpose of Reed's first trip to Norway was to consult with the organizers of the Hornmusikk community b a n d about how the American community band operates. The group w a s interested in discovering how to better organize and m a r k e t themselves and in doing whatever was necessary to come to the United States to perform at the Mid-West Clinic. Of all the countries in which Reed has conducted, he remains "extremely impressed with the Norwegian people because these people have the desire to do more t h a n j u s t play to pass a few pleasant hours each week; they t a k e it very seriously." 1 0 4 Reed made his second appearance in Norway in September and October of 1994. Before taking his first trip to Austria in March 1994, Reed spoke with great anticipation and excitement about the event. He was returning to the land from where his parents hailed and w a s anticipating the sight seeing as much as the performance engagements. During this appearance he conducted a concert at the Bruckner Conservatory and delivered a number of lectures on the development of wind band music. Reed found the Austrians to be unexpectedly interested in the wind orchestra medium, particularly considering they had been entrenched in the traditional orchestra for so m a n y years. Reed also found that, in contrast to the J a p a n e s e ensembles, the European bands played with a great amount of emotion a n d expression. He said, "Generally, once the technical passages are mastered, the expressivo passages require only a few words from the conductor." 1 0 5 Being a self-proclaimed romanticist, he enjoys hearing his music played by these bands because of the amount of emotion and sensitivity with which they play.

Each year his management adds new countries to his schedule. In fact, Reed made his first appearance in Italy with the Buergerkapelle Lana during March 1995. While in Italy, he conducted one concert and presented three lectures to band directors about the development of the wind band. After returning from Italy, he commented about the surprisingly large number of community wind groups in the region of Italy t h a t he visited. He said, in an area of approximately 50 square miles there were over 450 community wind groups. The community wind band activity is so strong in Italy t h a t they even publish books* containing the photographs, histories, and membership rosters of each group. Because of the large number of wind bands in Europe, Reed believes t h a t the potential for his future involvement there is very promising. Europe remains an "undiscovered" territory for Reed, and he is a relatively "undiscovered" composer in Europe. Perhaps in ten years he will be as involved in Europe as he now is in J a p a n . There is an exciting future for him in European countries. His popularity as a composer, conductor, and clinician is constantly growing. Table 1 shows the number of days Reed spent in J a p a n , Europe, and "other" countries and regions from 1983 through the end of 1998. It is clear t h a t his time in both J a p a n and Europe has increased steadily over the years, and since his retirement 1993 the amount of time Reed spent in Europe increased dramatically. Reed continues to be commissioned throughout Europe, and his commitments extend for a number of years. However, if there is one thing t h a t he h a s learned over the years it is to never commit himself to appearances or commissions too far in the future. In his younger days he did this on a regular basis, but he has learned t h a t can become too stressful and demanding. He also keeps in mind t h a t life at his age can sometimes be unpredictable; therefore, he does not accept commissions or appearances more t h a n two years into the future. Many times, he will travel from one appearance in a particular country directly to another appearance in another country without returning to Miami. This travel schedule began as early a s 1983 when Reed appeared in five different cities throughout the United States before returning to his home in Coral Gables. In 1986, he appeared in Columbus, Ohio and departed from there to Honolulu, Hawaii. From Hawaii he flew to J a p a n . In 1988, he appeared in Lafayette, Louisiana, then St. Louis, Missouri, then nine cities in J a p a n , followed by eight cities in Australia all before returning to * These books are titled: "Blasmusik In Tirol" published by RauckVerlag in Innsbruck, Austria; and, "Das Gresse Ober Osterreichische Blasmusicbuch" in 1984 by Verlag Brandstatter published by Verlag & Edition in Wien.

Coral Gables. In 1993, Reed appeared in Valencia, Spain a n d departed directly to Holland. In the spring of 1995, he appeared a t Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, California before departing to J a p a n for three months. It is believed t h a t he truly enjoys traveling around the world seeing new and exciting places. He seems to enjoy the exposure and more importantly enjoys sharing his music and life-long experiences with fellow musicians. Table 1 Reed's International Travels Days Spent Internationally Year

Initially, when he retired from the faculty at the University of Miami he anticipated spending six months of each year appearing through out the world and six months in Miami. However, as his popularity has increased he has been unable to adhere to his initial plan. Reed has even considered establishing a permanent residence or "home base" in J a p a n . Because appearances in J a p a n d e m a n d the largest amount of his time, and because he will be no further

Since it has been established in previous columns t h a t the concert band should be the focus of the program, the author provides a definition of what the concert band is, and w h a t is should do. After this lengthy discussion, Reed begins to explore the instrumentation of the concert and marching band, and how the instrumentation relates to the styles of music which should be performed. The article closes by
Bibliography 227 urging the director to perform the right kind of music with the right kind of performing ensemble. B44. . "South of the Border" (Column 8). Canadian Band Journal 8, no. 2 (Winter 1983): 3. Reed begins to explore the similarities and differences between the concert band and the wind ensemble. The importance of having a good teacher, regardless of the amount of financial support t h a t a program receives, is stressed. Reed provides an examination of the reasons a student becomes involved in the concert band, marching b a n d and wind ensemble. Again, he reiterates his view t h a t the large concert band should be the center of the program, serving the most students, and the wind ensemble should be available for the more serious students. The author provides information on the musical, specifically characteristic sound, differences between the concert band and wind ensemble. B45. . "South of the Border" (Column 9). Canadian Band Journal 8, no. 3 (Spring 1984): 3. Continuation of the discussion dealing with the characteristic sounds of the wind ensemble, and how those differences should be addressed in terms of music and personnel. Reed discusses Frederick Fennell's definition of the wind ensemble, then uses Fennell's definition to contrast and support his definition of the group. In addition, Reed provides a definition of the wind orchestra. After discussing the differences in characteristic sound of each ensemble, Reed begins to describe the differences in how each individual may hear. He closes the article with historical information about the development of the instrumentation in the orchestra and wind groups ~ the thought t h a t each ensemble is based around one primary tone color. B46. . "South of the Border" (Column 10). Canadian Band Journal 8, no. 4 (Summer 1984): 3. Discussion about the evolution of the instrumentation of the symphony orchestra, and how this parallels the evolution of the band. Reed uses the fact t h a t the winds in a symphony orchestra are limited to one-on-a-part, and t h a t there is one primary tone color as the foundation sound of the group (the violins), as the basis for his discussion on the instrumentation of the wind ensemble. The distinction
228
Bibliography between volume and brilliancy in the sound of the group is the driving factor for the correct instrumentation. Reed provides a detailed discussion relating to brilliancy in sound. F u r t h e r discussion of the clarinet sound as the primary sound of the wind group is provided. Reed closes t h a t article with detailed information on the physical principals (overtones) of the sounds and the potential for covering certain sounds if too many of a particular instrument are present. Some suggestions about section playing and matching tone qualities is provided.
B47. . "South of the Border" (Column 11). Canadian Band Journal 9, no. 1 (Fall 1984): 3. More historical development of the instrumentation of the symphony orchestra, band, wind ensemble and wind orchestra. Following this discussion, Reed provides the reader with the perspective of how a composer writes for the consistent instrumentation of the symphony orchestra and the inconsistent instrumentation of the bands. Reed then attempts to explain the disparity in numbers between symphony orchestra literature and band music. Reed then reiterates his support for the flexible instrumentation of the wind ensemble based on the necessity for clarity in the overall sound of the ensemble. Reed provides a description of the standard instrumentation of the wind ensemble, then discusses the implications to the concert band. B48. . "South of the Border" (Column 12). Canadian Band Journal 9, no. 2 (Winter 1984): 3. The purpose of this column is to assess the impact of the wind ensemble on the concert band. Reed provides a review of the historical development of the band. He then discusses the tone color of the larger outdoor and indoor bands, followed by a discussion which contrasts the sound of the wind ensemble. He then addresses the availability and appropriates of the music for the concert band and the wind ensemble. Three program organizational scenarios are provided as suggestions to the director. Labels are also given to directors who adopt these scenarios to help with further discussion of the plans. B49. . "South of the Border" (Column 13). Canadian Band Journal 9, no. 3 (Spring 1985): 3.

Reed begins to develop his thoughts about the first of his three models for program organization - traditional. He begins the article with an overview of all three approaches. He believes the reason any of the three approaches should be chosen is based on the music we want the students to perform. Reed then shares his views on the way most band programs of today are organized, with the marching band being the center of the program, and why this is a detrimental approach. The articles closes with suggestions for the "traditional" director to help maintain his perspective while operating within this plan of organization. B50. . "South of the Border" (Column 14). Canadian Band Journal 9, no. 4 (Summer 1985): 3. Discussion of the "conservative" approach to organization of the band program. In this program, the wind ensemble/wind orchestra is the hub of the program. Reed then discusses the benefits of the smaller wind ensemble/wind orchestra to the student. He then discusses the educational values and benefits or losses to the concert band members when the smaller ensemble is the focus of the program. The scheduling of this program design is discussed next. Reed closes the column with suggestions for the director about how to maintain this "conservative" program. B51. . "South of the Border" (Column 15). Canadian Band Journal 10, no. 1 (Fall 1985): 11. Discussion on the "radical" approach to program organization which puts the marching band as the hub of the program. Reed believes t h a t this plan appeals to administrators, students and parents, but not necessarily directors. Reed then discusses the implications on the kind of music t h a t could become the focus of the program if this plan of organizations is adopted. The article closes with suggestions to the "radical" director. B52. . "South of the Border" (Column 16). Canadian Band Journal 10, no. 2 (Winter 1985): 5. In this column, Reed provides a detailed discussion about the choice of music for a band program. He stresses the importance of providing good music t h a t is appropriate and educational. He provides suggestions about how to find music t h a t will serve students, audiences, parents and

Bibliography administrators. Reed takes the three directors discussed in the previous columns and traces their typical choices of music.
B53. . "South of the Border" (Column 17). Canadian Band Journal 10, no. 3 (Spring 1986): 5. Description of two surveys of record purchasing to illustrate trends in the musical choices of society, and how these musical choices influence the music choices of band programs. Reed justifies the listening choices t h a t individuals make by explaining t h a t recorded music is totally controlled by the listener, live music is not. He then explains the implications of having an audience of listeners who are accustomed to having total control on what they hear and when they h e a r it. The statistical results of the surveys are then shared. B54. . "South of the Border" (Column 18). Canadian Band Journal 10, no. 4 (Summer 1986): 7. Reed discusses w h a t can be gained form the results of the surveys he shared in the previous column. Addressed are the points of (1) what does the data tell us, (2) how students are affected, and (3) what educational/school music can fall within this data. Reed discusses the long-lasting impact t h a t a director's choice of music can have on a student. How the trends in record purchasing influence a students' choice of music are addressed next. Reed then examines how each of the three directors (traditional, conservative and radical) are affected by the data. Reed points out t h a t directors should not be influenced too much by the trends of music choice in general society. B55. . "South of the Border" (Column 19). Canadian Band Journal 11, no. 1 (Fall 1986): 6. Discussion relating to the role of the stage band in the total band program. Reed begins by tracing the historical development of the stage band, followed by a discussion on the importance of improvisation in jazz. Reed examines the appeal of improvisation to audiences and musicians. Next, he discusses improvisation in more traditional music. B56. . "South of the Border" (Column 20).

Reed reviews the importance of improvisation in the jazz program, and its appeal to the listener and performer. He provides the reader with an in-depth explanation of the development of the instrumentation of jazz groups throughout history; based on the solo performer concept. Band Journal 11, no. 2 (Winter 1986): 12. Band Journal 11, no. 3 (Spring 1987): 6. Discussion on the capability of the brain to perceive musical stimuli. Reed provides historical foundation on which to help illustrate points about the amount of information t h a t a h u m a n being can comprehend. He stresses t h a t the development of music was always centered on the clarity of the melody and text. Reed then discusses the implications and influences t h a t the concept of clarity has had on the music t h a t is written and performed today. He then takes this concept of clarity, based on solo lines, and relates it to the music performed by today's jazz bands. He traces the development of the jazz writing style from the completely freeform improvisation, to the structured compositions of today. B58. . "South of the Border" (Column 22). Canadian Band Journal 11 no. 4 (Summer 1987): 5. Reed begins this column with a concise review of the historical development of the instrumentation of the jazz band. He then traces the development of instrumentation into the full-size jazz bands of today. He does this by tracing, and explaining the significance and impact of each additional instrument. He then closes the article with a discussion on the music t h a t could now be performed, with the advanced harmonies, by the full-sized band. B59. . "South of the Border" (Column 23). Canadian Band Journal 12, no. 1 (Fall 1987): 9. Reed begins with an examination of how the harmonic possibilities affected the instrumentation of the jazz band. He then reiterates the importance and role of improvisation in jazz music, followed by an examination of the historical development of jazz-style music. He then begins to address the validity of jazz in the music program, and the need to

B60. . "South of the Border" (Column 24). Canadian Band Journal 12, no. 2 (Winter 1987): 9. Reed "shifts gears" completely at this point in the series and begins an examination of the purely musical elements of composition, performance and teaching. He begins focusing on the point t h a t it is more important "to play the right kind of music ... even if it cannot be played perfectly ... t h a n to play the wrong kind, even though it can." He then addresses the fact t h a t so much time and money is invested in a music program, therefore the best must be gained from the input. Reed believes t h a t all levels of music education should be accountable to the standard of performing quality music. He believes t h a t any style of music, including entertainment music, can provide a quality experience for the student. Reed closes the article with discussion on what is quality music. B61. . "South of the Border" (Column 25). Canadian Band Journal 12, no. 3 (Spring 1988): 8. Reed continues his examination of what music we are performing, with an interesting parallel between music and baby food. His basic point is t h a t putting music t h a t is designed for an advanced performer in front of a less experienced performer is not always the best thing to do. Conversely, a younger player must be moved from playing simple (baby food) music as soon as they are able. He illustrates his points by tracing the musical experiences of "Susie" in the second clarinet section of a fictional band in a fictional location. He discusses the compositional techniques of easy level music and the potentially harmful results t h a t constantly playing this music could have on Susie - a lack of independence. B62. . "South of the Border" (Column 26). Canadian Band Journal 12, no. 4 (Summer 1988): 6. Reed continues his discussion of baby food music beginning with when to wean a player from this music. He does, however, extol the values of baby food music when used in the right quantity. He next discusses the detriments of a continual diet of baby food music. He then brings back Susie

and relates how it will help her at the beginning. Reed then focuses on the needs of the audience to hear more t h a n baby food music; or else they may become bored and no longer attend performances. Reed closes the column with his views on what the goals of music education should be today. B63. . "South of the Border" (Column 27). Canadian Band Journal 13, no. 1 (Fall 1988): 12. Reed discusses the use of original works and transcriptions for band. Ultimately, he believes t h a t it is more important to play the right kind of music even if it is not played well. He then discusses what the characteristics are of a good and b a d transcription and arrangement. Reed provides a checklist t h a t conductors should look for in the music they are considering. B64. . "South of the Border" (Column 28). Canadian Band Journal 13, no. 2 (Winter 1988): 13. Reed discusses the roles of, and differences between, the composer, transcriber and arranger. He first addresses the composer by providing a definition and description of their responsibilities. He then discusses how a composer formulates his ideas. Reed then defines and describes the responsibilities of a transcriber, then an arranger. He then explores the choices t h a t each music make when it comes to their craft by using two examples form his own works for the Barnhouse Bach Series. B65. . "South of the Border" (Column 29). Canadian Band Journal 13, no. 3 (Spring 1989): 12. Reed begins a discussion of the grading systems used for band music. The column discussion is approached from the point-of-view t h a t the system is not always useful or clear. Reed uses the example of how the grade was determined for his Greensleeves [W9]. He begins addressing the meaning of difficulty and the conflict t h a t arises while determining the technical and musical difficulties of a work. He provides another example relating to the difficulty in determining grade level from his own experience at the New York Youth Administration radio station. Ultimately, according to Reed, the director is responsible for assessing the difficulty of the work. He provides suggestions for the director to consider while examining a work.

B66. . "South of the Border" (Column 30). Canadian Band Journal 13, no. 4 (Summer 1989): 4. Reed details and discusses the interpretive aspects of graded music. He provides a "check list" of factors a director music consider while planning his interpretation of a work. The correct selection of tempo is the focus of this column. He shares his views t h a t there is no one right tempo for any particular work, and discusses the factors t h a t must be considered while selecting the appropriate tempo. B67. . "South of the Border" (Column 31). Canadian Band Journal 14, no. 1 (Fall 1989): 17. In this column, Reed focuses on the next element of interpretive performance ~ the sustained line. According to Reed, the ability to sustain a line is one of the key factors in delivering clarity to the listener. He discusses how the selection of an appropriate tempo will affect the ability to sustain a line. He further discusses the affects a "dead" room can have on sustain and tempo. Reed closes the column with a detailed discussion of what a director can do to determine the correct tempo for a sustained-style work ~ sing. B68. . "South of the Border" (Column 32). Canadian Band Journal 14, no. 2 (Winter 1989): 8. Reed continues his discussion on how to find the proper tempo, after finding and singing all the melody lines. This article focuses on the possible acoustical considerations t h a t affect tempo choice. Even before discussing acoustics, Reed suggests t h a t the most important factor in determining the tempo of a sustained passage depends on the ability of the performing group to perform the passage with cleanliness and clarity. The conductor, according to Reed, must determine how clearly he wants the passage to sound. Reed provides the reader with a list of considerations and suggestions relating to the performance of sustained passages. The column closes with a discussion on the responsibilities of the conductor in determining all the interpretive elements, most importantly the tempo.

B69. . "South of the Border" (Column 33). Canadian Band Journal 14, no. 3 (Spring 1990): 11. In this column, Reed shares his personal views on the use of the string and electric bass in a wind group. He begins by discussing the impact of the bass in the wind group. He discusses the historically outdoor nature of a wind group, and how this relates to the bass. He then leads the reader through a discussion of the use of the bass from the composers point-of-view; he provides a convincing "argument" as to why the string bass belongs in a wind group. His description of the tone color of the string bass, and how it blends with the other tone colors of the wind group is very detailed and informative. He contrasts the use of the string bass with the use of the tuba, pointing out t h a t the tuba is often too heavy for the wind group. B70. . "South of the Border" (Column 34). Canadian Band Journal 14, no. 4 (Summer 1990): 9. With this column, Reed begins a very in-depth examination of the use of trumpets and/or cornets in a wind band. He begins the column with the story of how he began studying cornet, then trumpet. He describes how he was taught at a young age t h a t there are distinct differences between the instruments tone color, construction, mouthpieces and how they are played. The end of this column is an introduction to the description of the tone colors of the instruments, which are discussed in the next column. B71. . "South of the Border" (Column 35). Canadian Band Journal 15, no. 1 (Fall 1990): 13. A description of the individual tone colors of the cornet and trumpet, along with a discussion about the differences and similarities, is the focus of this column. Reed provides the reader with a brief review of how he came to play the cornet and trumpet, and how he came to be indoctrinated in the differences in tone color. In addition to discussing the cornet and trumpet, Reed provides information about the tone color of the flugelhorn. Reed begins his discussion with a description of the physical differences and similarities between the instruments. This leads into a discussion about cylindrical and conical bore instruments, and the combinations and permutations of bore construction. The differences and similarities between the mouthpieces of the
236
Bibliography instruments is next discussed. Reed closes the article with a description of the conical brass family of instruments.
B72. . "South of the Border" (Column 36). Canadian Band Journal 15, no. 2 (Winter 1990): 15. This column focuses on the musical differences and similarities between the cornet, trumpet and flugelhorn. Reed begins the discussion by alerting conductors and performers t h a t music written for cornet, was composed with the cornet tone color in mind, and therefore should be performed on the cornet. The same is true for the trumpet and flugelhorn. He discusses the importance for the composer to carefully choose the appropriate tone color to match the needs and qualities of the music. He provides the reader with historical background on how the cornet and trumpet were used for specific purposes. He then provides a description of the tone color of the cornet, followed by a discussion on how the tone color of the flugelhorn compliments jazz music. Again, as in the previous column, he describes the family of conical bore brass instruments, of which the flugelhorn is the soprano tuba. B73. . "South of the Border" (Column 37). Canadian Band Journal 15, no. 3 (Spring 1991): 22. Reed once again "shifts gears" with this column and begins to address the importance of rhythm as the basis of music. He begins the discussion by addressing the relationship between rhythm and tempo. Reed reviews information t h a t he h a s shared before about determining the appropriate tempo for a work, and the importance of clearly conveying the music to the audience. He then reiterates his views on w h a t the conductor m u s t consider when determining the tempo of a particular work. The discussion then moves into the topic of projection and volume, the differences and similarities. B74. . "South of the Border" (Column 38). Canadian Band Journal 15, no. 4 (Summer 1991): 21. In this column, Reed again addresses the importance of clarity in music, and how this relates to tempo and balance. He then addresses the element of sonority within like instruments and between dissimilar instruments. He then explores the qualities of resonance and projection, and the adjustments t h a t need to sometimes be made because of

resonance and projection. Clarity is often affected by resonance and projection, and Reed provides suggestions on how to overcome problems t h a t can be caused by too much ringing of the sound. B75. . "South of the Border" (Column 39). Canadian Band Journal 16, no. 1 (Fall 1991): 9. Reed again explores the acoustical considerations t h a t need to be addressed in order to achieve clarity in musical performance. He begins the discussion by addressing the problems associated with performing in too dry a hall, especially when playing music of a sostenuto nature. He provides suggestion on maintaining a sustained style through slurring and glissando. He discusses the technical elements t h a t are associated with performing a sustained style. Reed addresses the responsibilities of the conductor including determining breathing/phrasing spots and tempo choice. He reiterates t h a t the conductor's taste is ultimately the deciding factor in interpretation. B76. . "South of the Border" (Column 40). Canadian Band Journal 16, no. 2 (Winter 1991): 9. In this column, Reed discusses, in greater depth, the contributions t h a t the room makes to the sound of a group. Specifically, he focuses on the difficulties t h a t younger players have when performing in a variety of rooms. He believes t h a t a student must be taught at an early age to play differently in different rooms, and provides the director with suggestions on how to teach this. He specifically address the differences between the rehearsal room and the performance hall, and provides suggestion to the conductor and performer on how to perhaps be more successful in these settings. B77. . "South of the Border" (Column 41). Canadian Band Journal 16, no. 3 (Spring 1992): 11. This article focuses on the demands t h a t a conductor may place on his players to produce clarity. Reed provides a detailed explanation of attacks, including how to execute various attacks, and where to place attacks around slurs. He provides a description of the physical characteristics of the "normal, accented and legato" attacks. Reed provides the reader with a description of how various attacks are used in performance. He then describes the use of the tongue in
238
Bibliography relation to slurring (i.e., where to use the tongue, and how to keep the tongue from interfering with a smooth slur). Reed closes the article with instructions for the conductor on how to teach these attacks, and with encouragement for the conductor to be able to model these attacks for the students.
B78. . "South of the Border" (Column 42). Canadian Band Journal 16, no. 4 (Summer 1992): 15. Reed continues his discussion on the production of various articulations with a focus on the slurred passages. He reiterates t h a t nothing, including the tongue can interfere with the air stream during the slur. He discusses the importance of smooth fingering and slide motion, and t h a t slurs should be treated as though they were being sung. He closes the column with suggestions for the conductor to help achieve successful slurred passages from his ensemble. B79. . "South of the Border" (Column 43). Canadian Band Journal 17, no. 1 (Fall 1992): 18. With this column, Reed begins a discussion on the importance of teaching listening while performing music, especially for younger players. Reed believes t h a t technique is only the beginning of music development, and t h a t only through careful listening to musical performance can a student understand and achieve the musical elements in performance. Reed provides information on the difference between hearing and listening - the amount of activity. He provides suggestions and strategies for conductors to employ in their teaching. He spends a great deal of time explaining t h a t only the conductor and the audience can hear the entire sound of the group, and the conductor must have "final say" on any adjustments t h a t must be made to the sound of the ensemble, despite w h a t the individual student may hear from within the group. B80. . "South of the Border" (Column 44). Canadian Band Journal 17, no. 2 (Winter 1992): 7. This article focuses on the criticism t h a t students are t a u g h t to play music, but taught little about the construction of music during the process. Reed provides a formula on how directors can structure their rehearsals so students can learn about the music. The formula is based on w h a t the audience should hear while listening to the music t h a t is being

performed. Reed uses the remainder of the column to begin providing strategies on the first two elements of his formula melody line and bass line. B81. . "South of the Border" (Column 45). Canadian Band Journal 17, no. 3 (Spring 1993): 23. Continuation of the discussion of Reed's formula for teaching about the construction of the music. He briefly reviews his previous discussion on the elements of melody line and bass line, and moves into the teaching of secondary melodic lines, tertiary melodic lines, and additional melodic lines. Because these layers of melodic material can sometimes create complexity in the music, Reed addresses how a listener "hears" the music (psychology and physiology). He then discusses the last two points in his formula - moving harmony and stationary harmony. He closes the column with thoughts on how to implement this process into rehearsals. B82. . "South of the Border" (Column 46). Canadian Band Journal 17, no. 4 (Summer 1993): 7. With this column, Reed begins a discussion on how to commission a work from a composer, and what should be considered while doing so. He begins the column from the point-of-view of the director who wants to initiate a commission. After providing steps for the director to follow, Reed begins a discussion about the controversy t h a t a commissioned work may be lacking in inspiration as compared to a work composed purely from the inspiration of a composer; to share his "thoughts" with the world. He then discusses the limitations and qualifications t h a t a director, or commissioner, may place on a composer. He cautions the director to be cautious when requesting certain technical and musical demands in the commission. He again uses an example from his past experience where a work was commissioned, but was unplayable because of the differences in the technical and musical demands. B83. . "South of the Border" (Column 47). Canadian Band Journal 18, no. 1 (Fall 1993): 13. Reed continues his discussion relating to the requested difficulty of a commissioned work. He shares t h a t in reality, commissioning a work is "a gamble." He then examines the common reasons for commissioning a work, and provides a
240
Bibliography step-by-step guide for directors, or commissioners, to go through the process. He then addresses the issue of motivation for a composer to produce a commissioned work; t h a t the work will exist in the repertoire for years to come. He believes the true test of a good commission is t h a t it survives the premiere performance, and has repeated performances by various groups. He then discusses how to match a commission with the right composer, and the rights of the commissioning party.
B84, . "South of the Border" (Column 48). Canadian Band Journal 18, no. 2 (Winter 1993): 5. Reed begins a discussion on "playing for the audience" with a focus on young players. The definition of playing for the audience, according to Reed, is effectively conveying the meaning of the music to the listener. He believes t h a t even younger players can be taught, and understand this concept, and t h a t the audience is the main factor in the continuation of the art so they must be the focus of musical performance. Good tone quality is the number one factor in playing for the audience. He closes this column with information about how the hall, or performance venue, plays a part in the listeners' experience. B85. . "South of the Border" (Column 49). Canadian Band Journal 18, no. 3 (Spring 1994): 9. Reed continues his discussion on playing for the audience, by sharing the story of the commissioning of his A Symphonic Prelude [W13]. While attending the premiere of the work, he visited one of the feeder middle schools in the area where he observed a director who, in Reed's opinion, taught his students how to play for the audience. This director taught his students t h a t the quality of their sound starts with the breath, and is simply modified by the instrument on the way to the instrument. The director instilled in his students the image t h a t the sound is a stream of air, and t h a t simply playing all the notes and rhythms is not enough. In his summary to the column, Reed suggests t h a t students should be taught t h a t each note is important to the whole picture, and t h a t students should not simply be told what to do in the music, but why something is to be done. B86. . "South of the Border" (Column 50). Canadian Band Journal 18, no. 4 (Summer 1994): 8.

In this column, Reed presents a discussion on the technical elements involved in producing a characteristic instrumental tone quality, sustaining t h a t sound with correct attack and release. The desirable tone quality, according to Reed, is one t h a t is open and will project well to the audience. He further discusses the fact t h a t the instrument is merely a conduit through which the sound is conducted. He believes t h a t one of the best ways a student can develop a good tone quality is to listen to good models. Reed then discusses four technical factors t h a t are involved in sound production. Three of these four factors involve correct use of the tongue, and the fourth is the ability to sustain a pitch of phrase. As a result, Reed reiterates his views on the production of articulation and slurs. B87. . "South of the Border" (Column 51). Canadian Band Journal 19, no. 1 (Fall 1994): 8. Reed opens a discussion on proper phrasing in this column. He believes t h a t a band conductor must understand the functions, workings and limitation of wind generated sound. Next, a conductor must examine a work in terms of phrasing to avoid holes in the sound. He discusses the relationship between tempo, dynamics, breathing and phrasing t h a t music be considered. He then addresses the issue of "bar line breathing," and stresses t h a t younger players must, and can, be taught to play with proper phrasing. He discusses the concept of teaching quick breathing to younger students. Singing is important when examining phrases, and conductors must sing phrases with the indicated articulation in order to understand how the player will perform the music. He closes the column with suggestions on how to avoid mistakes in performing complete phrases (i.e., allowing the tongue to interfere with wide interval slurs, and dropping the ends of a phrase). B88. . "South of the Border" (Column 52). Canadian Band Journal 19, no. 2 (Winter 1994): 11. A discussion on how to execute dynamics in order to "play for the audience." Reed begins the discussion by tracing the development of dynamics throughout music history. He discusses the difficulty with qualifying and standardizing dynamics. Because there are, and cannot be, set objective values for dynamics, he discusses the factors t h a t influence
242
Bibliography relative dynamics. Reed stresses t h a t dynamic indications in the music are there for the audience, not for the individual performer. He then discusses the strategies t h a t a conductor can ask of the player to perform dynamics. He closes the column by stressing t h a t the player must be willing to adjust their performance according to the conductors suggestions, and t h a t the conductor must not hesitate to demand changes from the player.
B89. . "South of the Border" (Column 53). Canadian Band Journal 19, no. 3 (Spring 1995): 11. In this fifth column which addresses playing for the audience, Reed discusses the two most "dangerous" sounds in the b a n d ~ saxophone and tuba. Dangerous, according to Reed, m e a n s t h a t the sound interferes with the ensemble's ability to convey the composer's music to the audience, and the affect these tone colors have on the overall sound produced by the ensemble. He then discusses how the overtones produced by the saxophone and tuba interfere with the overtones produced by other instruments, creating a dulling effect on the total sound. He the specifically addresses the tone color of the tuba, and how its very dominate overtone series matches t h a t of many other instruments. He further describes the compounded problem when there are too many tuba players. B90. . "South of the Border" (Column 54). Canadian Band Journal 19, no. 4 (Summer 1995): 5. Reed continues his discussion of the "dangerous" tone colors in the band focusing on the saxophone. He begins by questioning to what family, woodwinds or brasses, the instrument belongs. He next provides the reader with information relating to the historic use of the saxophone in orchestral music. He then traces the construction of the instrument, and relates how much the quality of the instrument, reeds and mouthpiece changes the quality of the tone produced. He describes the attributes of the saxophone in blending the sounds of the woodwind section, but d a m p e n s the brilliance of individual instruments. He provides suggestions to the conductor to help eliminate the dangers of the saxophone, and suggests to the player t h a t they always have good reeds and mouthpieces.

B91. . "South of the Border" (Column 55). Canadian Band Journal 20, no. 1 (Fall 1995): 7. In this column, Reed provides discussion on how one hears and reacts to musical stimuli based on physiological and psychological principals. Reed discusses two difficult questions: what is music, an what is sound? He answers these questions while discussing the fact t h a t music exists in physiological reactions organized into meaningful patterns. He discusses the physiology of sound perception, and the reactions to music t h a t may occur. He discusses the fact t h a t very little is actually know about how one hears and why one reacts to music; there is very little hard evidence to support any theories. He closes the column with a discussion about the implications for music educators based on what we know about reactions to music. B92. . "South of the Border" (Column 56). Canadian Band Journal 20, no. 2 (Winter 1995): 7. Reed presents discussion on the thought t h a t the recognition and understanding of music is an intellectual process. He addresses the fact t h a t there is sometimes great elitism in musical understanding. He next addresses the fact t h a t too much musical stimuli cannot readily be processed by the h u m a n brain, no matter how talented or gifted an individual may be. He then discusses the implications for music teachers; dealing with learners of varied ability levels. B93. . "South of the Border" (Column 57). Canadian Band Journal 20, no. 3 (Spring 1996): 7. In this column, Reed discusses the talented and/or gifted student in a music program. He cautions teachers to be realistic when it comes to the number of truly gifted students in the music world. He suggests t h a t the teacher must strive "not to achieve the best possible result, but the best result possible." He next discusses the debate surrounding the influence of genetics, training and environment on musical achievement. He discusses the reality t h a t music students are typically the better students in academic subjects, and this sometimes creates scheduling conflicts. He then traces the historical development of music instruction in education, focusing on the correlation between mathematics and music. Next he addresses the correlation between elements of visual art and musical art. He shares his views on standardized

B94. . "South of the Border" (Column 58). Canadian Band Journal 20, no. 4 (Summer 1996): 7. Reed centers his discussion in this column on the issue t h a t music is an art, not simply a science. He believes t h a t one must keep in mind the difference between knowing something and thinking something. He shares his belief t h a t what we know so little about, the functioning of the brain, is precisely w h a t we should know the most about. He discusses what he believes the be the inner-workings of the brains of a gifted and talented student. He believes the network t h a t enables transmission of data is fully developed earlier in the life of a gifted or talented student. He then addresses the question of whether musical ability can be developed. Reed believes that, yes, musical ability can be developed in an individual. He discusses the influence of the right attitude on the improvement of musical ability, and the differences in learning styles t h a t must be accommodated. B95. . "South of the Border" (Column 59). Canadian Band Journal 21, no. 1 (Fall 1996): 5. Reed begins this column with a review of his discussion t h a t not everyone's innate musical ability is the same. He shares his view t h a t teachers should strive for students who are able to understand and manipulate the musical language - this is the goal. He then provides five steps which lead to musicianship. The reader is given suggestions on how to teach these steps. He provides personal stories on how he h a s taught these steps. He then details the importance of early exposure to musical stimuli and exposure to a variety of styles and meters. He closes the column with a brief discussion on the importance of rhythmic ability. B96. . "South of the Border" (Column 60). Canadian Band Journal 21, no. 2 (Winter 1996): 5. The discussion in this column focuses on the importance of rhythm in music. He begins by describing the amount of time which is commonly devoted to rhythmic instruction in the band curricula. Despite this, the most frequent mistakes in

performance, according to Reed, are rhythmic. He shares his desire to instill quality teaching at the most elementary levels, by citing an example from his past when he requested to teach the entry level music theory courses, not the most advanced students. He provides the reader with a step-bystep description of how he teaches rhythm starting with aural then written rhythmic dictation. This is followed by aural then written melodic dictation. Reed reports t h a t students who were taught using this sequence achieved better results t h a n those who skipped the entry level courses. He suggests t h a t directors should make their students count and sing passages, before playing. This musical performance should be very precise, not only for the benefit of the learner, but for the benefit of the listener. He closes the column by reiterating the importance of accurately singing a passage. WRITINGS ABOUT REED Theses and Dissertations B97. Fiese, Richard K.
