Gonna Fly Now

Words and Music by Bill Conti, Ayn Robbins and Carol Connors.

Arranged by Victor Lopez

Also known as the Theme from Rocky, the song was

released in 1977. It was considered a perfect fit for the movie

and for the Rocky character - an underdog who fought beyond

his abilities through rugged determination. It was used as the

primary theme in the first two Rocky movies. The song was

nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Route 66

Words and Music by Bobby Troup

Arranged by Michael Sweeney

A popular rhythm and blues standard, the song was composed in

1946. The song uses a twelve-bar blues arrangement and lyrics

follow the path of US Federal Highway, Route 66.

Skyfall

Words and Music by Adele Adkins and Paul Epworth

Arranged by Roger Holmes

Skyfall is the theme song of the 2012 James Bond film of the

same name, performed by English singer Adele. While composing

the song, Adele and Epworth aimed to capture the mood and

style of the other Bond themes, including dark and moody lyrics

descriptive of the film's plot.

Uptown Funk

Words and Music by Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Phillip Lawrence,

Jeff Bhasker, Devon Gallaspy and Nicholas Williams

Arranged by John Berry

Uptown Funk is heavily influenced by a hybrid mixture

of funk, rock, pop and new wave of the early 1980s. The song

set a new record for the highest number of streams in one week

in the US, with 4.8 million streams. Recently, the video received

its billionth view on YouTube becoming the ninth video on

YouTube to receive over 1 billion views.

Words and Music by Steely Dan

Arranged by Mike Tomaro

Steely Dan is an American jazz rock band whose music also

blends elements of funk, R&B, and pop. Founded by core

members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen in 1972, the band

enjoyed great critical and commercial success in the late

‘70s and early ‘80s before breaking up in 1981. Josie is the

sardonic celebration of a prodigal daughter's return.

Georgia on My Mind

Words and Music by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell

Arranged by Sammy Nestico

Hoagland Howard Hoagy Carmichael was born in

Bloomington, Indiana in 1899. He is one of the few great

craftsmen who became the most important jazz innovators

in the first half of the 20th century. Carmichael was an actor,

performer, and popular songwriter - some of his other

compositions include Stardust and Winter Moon. Gorrell was

a banker living in New York City, and he wrote the

lyrics. It is one of the most recorded songs of all time and

became the official state song of the State of Georgia, USA

in 1979.

Sweet Georgia Brown

Words and Music by Ben Bernie

Arranged by Sammy Nestico

Sweet Georgia Brown is a jazz standard and pop tune

written in 1925. Reportedly Ben Bernie came up with the

concept for the song's lyrics, although he is not the

accredited lyricist. The tune was first recorded in 1925 by

bandleader Bernie, resulting in a five-week No. 1.

Symphony No. 1 in D Major (The Titan) 3rd Movement

Composed by Gustav Mahler

Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D Major, also known as the ‘Titan’ symphony,

was primarily composed between the 20th January and the end of March 1888 in

Leipzig, although the work also incorporates pre-existing musical themes and ideas

from earlier Mahler compositions.

The first version of the work, premiered in 1889 at the Vigadó Concert Hall in

Budapest conducted by Mahler. The work was poorly received by the Budapest

audience. Its second performance took place three years later in Hamburg after

Mahler had made major revisions to the work. Mahler continued to revise the work

up until the score was first published in 1899. A typical performance lasts around 55

minutes, making it one of Mahler’s shortest symphonies. Tonight, GCYO’s Youth

Symphony perform the 3rd Movement.

Pictures at an Exhibition - The Hut on Chicken Legs and The Great Gate of

Kiev

Composed by Modest Mussorgsky

Orchestrated by Carl Simpson

Modest Mussorgsky produced his Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874 to perpetuate the

memory of a friend, Viktor Hartmann (1834-1873). In the process, he created a

monument far more massive and lasting than his subject. Mussorgsky was an

ardent Russian nationalist, but he was far more interested in folk art than in the

grandiose ornamental designs of the aristocracy. (Or, as Tchaikovsky put it, “He

likes what is coarse, unpolished and ugly.”)

Mussorgsky's career began in the military, but he resigned from the life of a

fastidious officer to study music and supported himself as a civil servant. When his

friend Hartmann died in 1874, aged only 39, Mussorgsky was devastated. The

following year a memorial exhibit of 400 of Hartmann’s works, including sketches,

watercolours and costume designs was created. Seized with inspiration, Mussorgsky

quickly reacted to the exhibition by writing a suite of ten piano pieces dedicated to

the organizer. Tonight, Youth Symphony present No. 9.

YOUTH SYMPHONY

Grand March from ‘Aida’

Composed by Giuseppe Verdi

Arranged by David Stone

Aida, Verdi’s grandest spectacle and one of the most

popular operas ever written, was intended to celebrate

the opening of the Suez Canal and the Cairo Grand

Opera House in 1869. Verdi lived in Italy during the rise

of Italian Nationalism.

Theme from ‘On Golden Pond’

Composed by David Grusin

Arranged by Bob Lowden

On Golden Pond is a 1981

American drama film directed

by Mark Rydell.

The screenplay by Ernest

Thompson was adapted from

his 1979 play of the same

title. Henry Fonda and Katharine

Hepburn both received Oscars for

their performances in the film.

March to the Scaffold from

‘Symphonie Fantastique’

Composed by Hector Berlioz

Arranged by Richard Meyer

The symphony is a piece

of program music that tells the

story of an artist gifted with a

lively imagination who has

poisoned himself in the depths of

despair because of hopeless love.

Berlioz provided his own program

notes for each movement of the

work.

The Campbells are Coming

Traditional Scottish

Arranged by Sandra Dackow

The Campbells Are Coming is a Scottish song associated

Arranged by Robert Longfield

Tchaikovsky wrote much of the Little Russian March

during a summer holiday in the Ukraine with his sister
