Description
Commissioned for the 100th anniversary of the Calgary Stampede Showband of Calgary, Alberta, Samuel Hazo has created a stunning and inspired work for mature players. The title (taken from the Latin phrase "Jubilate Deo") is indicative of the pervading sense of ceremony and jubilation. Bookended with a broad and powerful fanfare, the exuberant "allegro" section features a spirited pulse with mixed meters and soaring melodies. A dynamic percussion score is inherent throughout the work all the way to the dramatic finish. Dur: 5:00

More about this title
About the Composer: Samuel R. Hazo
Samuel R. Hazo is a composer and conductor whose work bridges the concert hall and the wind band repertoire with equal facility. His commissions for major ensembles and educational institutions reflect a deep understanding of instrumental writing and the needs of advancing musicians.
Why we love this
Hazo brings architectural clarity to a five minute span, building from ceremonial fanfare into a rhythmically sophisticated allegro without ever losing the listener. The mixed meter work sits comfortably for mature bands because it never feels imposed; the musicality carries the complexity. A commission for such a storied ensemble signals both accessibility and craftsmanship.
What to expect
Ceremonial and celebratory from the first moment, with an infectious forward drive once the allegro lands. The soaring melodies give players something to sing into, while the shifting meters keep the energy fresh and prevent any sense of routine.
Who it's for
Mature concert bands at the Grade 5 level who are ready for metric complexity without sacrificing musicality. This suits ensembles with strong percussionists and woodwind sections capable of handling independent lines within the mixed meter framework.
How to get the most out of it
- Shape the opening fanfare as a unified gesture across the full ensemble. The broad character demands precision in attacks and releases, not just volume.
- Let the allegro's pulse breathe through the mixed meters rather than hammering every beat. Players will lock in faster if you emphasize the underlying forward motion.
- Balance the percussion throughout. The scoring lives in the interplay between the melodic and rhythmic voices, so resist over mixing the front of the band.
- Build the dramatic finish deliberately; treat the final section as a payoff earned over the previous four minutes, not a sudden shift in energy.
How to use it
Program this as a centerpiece for a festival or anniversary concert, or pair it with lighter fare to anchor a concert's emotional arc. At five minutes, it fills a programming slot that calls for impact without dominating a set.
