About this exposition

Sander van Dorst Wind Band Conducting Supervisor: Suzan Overmeer Over the Pavements: is contemporary wind music a curse? What does a conductor need to take into account when performing contemporary wind music? Summary Contemporary wind music is non-commercial, innovative music, which is characterized to a great extent by personal compositional style, the significance of timbre and the irregularity in musical parameters. One of the earliest forms from which this music developed, came from Charles Ives in 1913 and was further developed by conductors like Frederick Fennell and Robert Austin Boudreau and organisations like the W.M.C. Besides musical-technical skills (like reading new notation systems and handling fast changing metres), the conductor has to be skilled in the fields of interpretation and programming (i.e., using ‘stepping stones’ in programming, understanding the composer’s compositional language), and must be able to fulfil the orchestra’s pedagogical and didactic needs (i.e., empowering the musicians, organizing the music in a clear way). Furthermore, the audience can’t be forgotten in the process of performing this music (for example: giving them a (historical) context, providing suggestions what to listen for and using the opportunity of having multiple hearings). Biography Sander van Dorst (1997) is a conductor, music pedagogue, composer and multi-instrumentalist. After his studies in Music Education at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, he started the master of Wind Band Conducting with Alex Schillings at the same institute. He’s currently conductor of two wind orchestras, composes on commission and teaches music individually and at primary schools.
