	CONCERT REVIEW: Wind Ensemble Presents Stravinsky & Colgrass -- Ebony Concerto and Octet, Old Stravinsky Favorites, ...
		The final piece before the intermission was Stravinsky’s “Ebony Concerto,” a unique specimen in the world of pseudo-classical-jazz music.
		It would be wholly unfair to classify this piece as classical or jazz individually, for a part of its character would be lost.
		In reality, it is an adventure that occasionally puts the clarinet, a perfect instrument to bridge jazz and 20th-century classical music, in the spotlight and delightfully dances between genres in an almost teasing manner.

		The composer is known primarily for his large works, while charming morsels such as Four Norwegian Moods and the Ebony Concerto are not heard nearly as often as they should be.
		"My Ebony Concerto [written for the Woody Herman band] is my contribution to the blues, and the flute, harp and clarinet music of the slow movement of my Symphony in Three Movements is my gift to boogie-woogie," he told his talented disciple Robert Craft.
		These came out in the late '40s, during the so-called "battle of the speeds" among record companies, meaning that some of these performances were released not only on 78-RPM discs and 33-RPM LPs but also at 45 RPM — a medium that would soon be turned over entirely to pop music.

		Premiering on March 25, 1946, at New York's Carnegie Hall, composer Igor Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto for clarinet and jazz band was written shortly after the end of World War II and represents a highly celebrated work from his neo-classical period.
		By the time of his collaboration with Stravinsky, clarinetist Woody Herman had become world renowned for both his instrumental abilities and his transformative role at the forefront of the American big band era.
		By the time Stravinsky had gained his full, U.S. citizenship, in 1945, he had long-since embraced the defining spirit at the heart of the American experience, and continued to be influenced by its literature, music, and philosophy, throughout his lifetime.

		It was not a new concept; jazz clarinetist Woody Herman had also taken a similar route, asking Igor Stravinsky to write his Ebony Concerto.
		Goodman asked Copland to write the work in 1947, two years after the composer won the Pulitzer Prize for the ballet Appalachian Spring and another two before he was to win an Academy Award for music from The Heiress.
		Copland finished the work in the fall of 1948, soon after returning from the tour, but Goodman was reluctant to play the original edition, expressing worry about the often-tricky rhythmic notation and extensive use of the instrument's upper register in the second movement.

		He knew Goodman was a skillful instrumentalist who played Mozart as flawlessly as he played Fats Waller, and that Goodman had already collaborated with Béla Bartók on the composer's Contrasts for violin, clarinet and piano (1938).
		Since the dawn of the jazz age, musicians and composers have been exploring the new musical landscape and applying their observations to established genres like orchestral compositions, chamber music and opera.
		Almost 30 years and several classical compositions later, he was still experimenting with jazz, writing his Ebony Concerto (1945) for Goodman's colleague, clarinetist Woody Herman.

		The rendition of Stravinsky's playful "Ebony Concerto", commissioned by Woody Herman in 1945, is terrific.

		Aaron Copland's Concerto for Clarinet and String Orchestra with Harp and Piano is another such commission, one which Copland eagerly accepted, stating, though, that it would have never occurred to him on his own to write a clarinet concerto.
		Copland did not collaborate with Goodman in composing the work, although, Goodman did make several requests for modifications after the Concerto was presented to him.
		Copland stated: "The clarinet Concerto is cast in a two-movement form, played without pause, and connected by a cadenza for the solo instrument.
