Live premiere of 15th Night of the Moon, a trumpet concerto by Joel Puckett. Craig Morris, trumpet; Gary Green, conductor; The Frost School of Music Wind Ensemble. Miami, Florida (USA) November 19th, 2014.

Program Note:
15th Night of the Moon:
In the past year, I’ve seen the reality of time begin close in on some of the people I hold most dear and as a result I’ve be forced to confront the cyclical nature of life. Joseph Campbell describes an appropriate Bronze Age concept in his lecture, “The Way of Art”:

“Out on the plains on the fifteenth night of the moon, at the time of sunset, looking to the west, you see the sun at a moment just resting right on the horizon. And if you look there to the east, the moon will be in the same position on the eastern horizon … And so this also is part of the mythology of the body: the body going through its inevitable course – the long body [from birth to death].” 

In this moment approximately halfway through one’s life, the body and mind are in balance; equal in their prowess. In the Bronze Age myths, this was considered to be around one’s 35th year. Typically in these myths, the protagonist goes through a transformational journey moving from one phase of life to another. They are reborn into, for lack of a better word, adulthood.

In his book, "The Way of the Animal Powers," Campbell describes a different transformational journey, this one as told by a !KUNG bushman:

"When people sing ... I enter the earth. I go in at a place like a place where people drink water. I travel a long way, very far. When I emerge, I am already climbing. I'm climbing threads, the threads that lie over there in the south. I climb one and leave it, then I climb another one. Then I leave it and climb another. . . . And when you arrive at God's place, you make yourself small. You have become small. You come in small to God's place. You do what you have to do there. Then you return to where everyone is, and you hide your face. You hide your face so you won't see anything. You come and come and come and finally you enter your body again. All the people who have stayed behind are waiting for you. … You enter, enter the earth, and you return to enter the skin of your body ... Then you begin to sing."


These two excepts strike me as related in that the mystical journey of the bushman seems to be a transformational experience much like the one described in the fifteenth night of the moon stories. An experience of change that provokes a profound realization of both the sadness and hope that come with the realization of a circular life.

In this concerto, cast into four connected movements, our soloist journeys deep within to find this transformation. Each movement is a projection of a line of text from the bushman’s description of his experience.

1. “When people sing … I enter the earth.”

2. “When you arrive at god’s place
You make yourself small.
You come in small to god’s place.
You do what you have to do there.”

3. “Then you return to where everyone is.” [cadenza]

4. “You enter the earth and you return to enter the skin of your body."

The movements are played without pause.

Inspiration - Joseph Campbell - The Hero With A Thousand Faces

There’s days where you’re feeling, lost and insane,
As you look for a point in the wasteland you’ve made
You need to push forward, push forward I dare,
The past is a friend but you don’t have to live there

You only look backwards when you think the word ‘when’,
And question if you could go through it again

You forge your path forward, wonder what to do,
As the point in your wasteland comes into view
Never let go of the things you hold dear,
The past is a friend but you don’t have to live there

These paths that you’re making, have not been set,
You created this world and it’s not over yet

Push forward I ask you, Push forward I dare
Push forward I ask you, Push forward I dare
The past is a friend but you don’t have to live there
The past is a friend but you don’t have to live there

There’s a point in the wasteland and it’s making me cry
There’s a point in the wasteland and it’s making me sigh,
Deep, deep, deep, deep breaths

There’s a point in the wasteland and it’s making me cry
There’s a point in the wasteland and it’s making me sigh,
Deep, deep, deep, deep breaths

Point in the Wasteland

Celtic Bliss - by Lars Djerf

This piece has a folk music or celtic flavor to it, and it’s a rather positive and upbeat tune, therefore I named it "Celtic Bliss". Much of the inspiration came from the Mike Oldfield ”QE2” album, specifically the track called ”Celt”. The first Enya album, the soundtrack to the TV series ”The Celts” was also on my mind during the work on this song.

I begun laying out the basic melody line on the 12th of August 2015, and finished working on it about a week later, on the 18th of August 2015.

The cover image is a collage made by myself using the application ”The Gimp", with a photo of and quote by the late great Joseph Campbell, who is also an inspiration with his wisdom and knowledge of myth and folklore.

”When you follow your bliss …doors will open where you would not have thought there were going to be doors.”
~Joseph Campbell

Celtic Bliss - av Lars Djerf

Det här stycket har en folkmusik- eller keltisk klang och det är en ganska positiv upptempolåt, så därför fick den heta "Celtic Bliss". Till stor del kom inspirationen från Mike Oldfields album ”QE2” och specifikt spåret ”Celt”. Enyas första album, musiken till tv-serien ”The Celts” fanns också i bakhuvudet när jag arbetade med denna låt.

Jag började lägga ut den grundläggande melodin den 12e augusti 2015 och avslutade arbetet ungefär en vecka senare, den 18e augusti 2015.

Omslagsbilden är ett kollage som jag gjort själv i programmet ”The Gimp", med ett foto och citat av den salige storheten Joseph Campbell, vilken också är en inspiration med sin vishet och kunskap om myter och folklore.

”När du följer din lycka …kommer dörrar att öppnas där du inte hade trott att det skulle finnas dörrar.”
~Joseph Campbell

This MIDI by Joseph Collins
"While playing around with track 18 from the original Rise of the Triad one day, I discovered that swapping out the stringed instruments for eastern-style instruments like shamisens and sitars gave the song a completely different mood.
 Thus, I decided to make a remix based on that idea."
