Program Notes:

Somewhere among the many horrors that plague our everyday lives, grace and beauty never fail to exist within even the most dark and hopeless of situations. Graceful Horrors explores these dreads and dismays while continuously reminding us that one can find the joy, magnificence, pleasantness and peace within such trialing circumstances. Much like seeing the positive hidden deep within the horrific, one must listen beyond the dissonances and gnarly harmonies to discover the true beauty contained with its abrasive motifs. To effectively comminute these ideas, this piece draws inspiration from Modern- and Romantic-Era symphony orchestra compositions combined with forms, themes, modes and rhythms found within the characteristic sound of both doom and progressive metal.

Graceful Horrors was designed as a one-movement smaller work maintaining all the qualities and nuances found in longer complex symphonic works. Despite its intricate orchestration, this piece was designed to be played by a young ensemble without the need for full instrumentation. Each instrument section plays at minimum one of the
multiple themes and melodies or their variations during the course of the performance; everyone must take caution to balance appropriately to ensure the melody is always present in the overall mix of the ensemble. In order to be successful in performing this piece, students must pay particular attention to counting rests, especially during the pointillist sections at the beginning and at measure 24 as well as watch the conductor’s cues during the many caesuras, fermati and tempo changes throughout the piece.

In this episode, host Ken Futernick sits down with Bruce Wasser, a former history teacher whose life story is as inspiring as his teaching career. Bruce shares his poignant journey from being a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War to becoming a beloved educator who had a profound impact on his students. Listen as Bruce recounts the pivotal moments that shaped his life, including the influence of his high school basketball coach and the challenges he faced in standing up for his beliefs. The episode also features Julia Damer, a former student of Bruce's, who shares her experiences in his classroom and the lasting impact he had on her life. The conversation highlights the reciprocal influence between teachers and students, as well as the enduring power of education to inspire change.

The conversation also raises an important question about the kind of influence one would want teachers to have on their students. Bruce says, “I am in the business [of teaching] so I can help young men and women become proud, strong citizens, loving their country when it's right and earnestly trying to change it when it's wrong.” Might such an approach to teaching lead to indoctrination? Do we want history teachers taking on such a role, or should they stick to historical facts? “If that's indoctrination,” Bruce says, “I'll plead guilty to it, but I don't think you can teach any subject blandly or without any kind of conviction.” Later, Bruce explains that he wants his students to find their voice, to stand up for principle, whether or not it aligns with their teachers’ or classmates’ perspectives. “I would always try to find my way to stand next to the minority opinion, always stand close to that man or woman who's standing up and arguing for principle, and I would tell 'em you might be one person facing a hurricane, but you've got to have strong roots. You have to have the courage of your convictions. These are your friends. Don't worry about being in the minority.”

Discover how Bruce's experiences as a young man shaped his teaching philosophy and the lasting legacy he left in the classroom. This episode is a testament to the power of education and the importance of nurturing young minds to challenge the status quo and strive for a better world.
