SynopsisWhat do you see when you hear music? That's an odd question, perhaps, but sometimes composers confess that particular places, persons and scenes play a role in how music is created.On today's date in 1994, in San Antonio, Texas, for example, a new symphony for wind ensemble by the American composer David Maslanka received its premiere performance during a convention of the Texas Music Educators Association.In program notes, Maslanka confessed two major inspirations: The first was “the powerful voice of the Earth that comes to me from my adopted western Montana, and the high plains and mountains of central Idaho.” The second, he said, was his fascination with President Abraham Lincoln. Maslanka explained that reading about a Civil War brass band playing the “Old Hundreth” hymn tune at sunset as Lincoln's coffin was transferred to a waiting funeral train was an image that haunted him.“For me,” Maslanka wrote, “Lincoln's life and death are as critical today as they were more than a century ago. … My impulse through this music is to speak to the fundamental human issues of transformation and rebirth in this chaotic time.”Music Played in Today's ProgramDavid Maslanka (1943-2017): Symphony No. 4; Dallas Wind Symphony; Jerry Junkin, cond.

SynopsisSince the 18th century, Paris and Prague have been famous for producing some of the greatest wind players of Europe. And in the 19th century, Anton Reicha, who was born in Prague but died in Paris, wrote for those wind players a sizable body of quintets to showcase the agreeable blend of flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn.In our own time, the number of professional wind quintets has increased dramatically, and, not surprisingly, contemporary composers are eager to create new works for them.On today's date in 1987, at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall in New York, the Manhattan Wind Quintet premiered a piece by American composer David Maslanka — his Wind Quintet No. 2.A clarinetist, Maslanka is particularly known for his works for wind ensembles, large and small. He describes his three-movement Wind Quintet No. 2 as follows:“The first movement is fierce and somewhat daunting in its technical demands; the second is moody and elusive; the third is sweet and resigned.”This recording features the Bergen Woodwind Quintet of Norway, an ensemble that has taken Maslanka's music to heart, recording three of his Wind Quintets for the BIS label from Sweden.Music Played in Today's ProgramDavid Maslanka (1943-2017) Wind Quintet No. 2; Manhattan Wind Quintet Albany 246

Matthew Maslanka is David Maslanka's second son and the primary caretaker of David's music. Born in New York City in 1982, he grew up listening to his father composing at the piano. From the age of 10, Matthew started helping out by making photocopies of scores and dubbing cassette tapes for David to send to conductors interested in the music. At 12, Matthew discovered the delights of engraving music with a computer. By 14, he was skilled enough to handle the preparation of his father's music and proceeded to engrave virtually every work from that point forward. In this way, he built up a deep understanding of the underpinnings of David's writing and long-term development as a composer. He frequently accompanied his father on trips to work with ensembles and observed his working process closely. Matthew enjoyed a particularly close personal and professional relationship with David. Matthew is a versatile musician, performing on euphonium and trombone, preparing sheet music for performance and publication, and publishing his father's music. He studied euphonium performance as an undergraduate at Michigan State University with Philip Sinder and as a master's student at Indiana University with Daniel Perantoni. He also studied trombone as a doctoral candidate at Indiana University with Carl Lenthe. He has performed on Broadway in the orchestra of Fiddler on the Roof and plays with the New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra and the Chelsea Symphony, among others. Along with performing, Matthew is an accomplished music engraver and copyist. Equally at home in the commercial and classical worlds, he has prepared music in diverse genres. Projects have included the Pixar film The Incredibles 2, Warner Brothers' Shazam!, the hit video game Destiny 2 by Bungie Inc. and the acclaimed musicals Far From Heaven by Scott Frankel with orchestrations by Tony Award winner Bruce Coughlin, Chess by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA, and Sycamore Trees by Ricky Ian Gordon. He has also engraved opera, wind ensemble, and chamber music for the New York-based publisher Carl Fischer and Internationale Musikverlage Hans Sikorski in Hamburg. In 2012, Matthew founded Maslanka Press to publish his father's works. Dedicated to producing beautiful, affordable new editions, promoting David's music, and supporting performers, educators, and enthusiasts, Maslanka Press now publishes more than 70 works worldwide. Following David's passing in 2017, he started the David Maslanka Foundation with his brother Stephen and sister Kathryn to preserve and promote David's music and life. As part of that mission, Matthew travels worldwide, coaching performing groups on his father's music. Matthew is an avid photographer and lives in New York City with his two dogs, Cassie and Max. ------- Are you planning to travel with your group sometime soon?

Originally aired 2/13/2017 For this week's episode, I sat down to chat with David and Matthew Maslanka. David is a renowned composer, often known for his extensive catalog of works for wind ensemble; and Matthew, David's son, is a euphonist and engraver, and handles the operations for publishing David's music. During the course of the conversation, we talked about the trajectory of David's career and the important changes he made and risks he took along the way, how Matthew handles publishing David's works, and the importance of being true to your music and yourself.

Originally aired 8/15/2017 In case you haven't yet heard the news, composer David Maslanka passed away last week on August 6 after a brief battle with cancer. David, along with his son Matthew, was a guest on the show back in January for Episode #38. Reading other composers' and performers' reminiscences of him online, it's impossible to overlook the impact he's had in our corner of the world and beyond. From his simple exhortation for composers to Just Show Up when it comes to writing every day, to his acknowledgement about our craft that “nothing about what we do is convenient,” he has been a source of encouragement and inspiration for many composers over the decades. So this week, in honor of his memory, I'm rebroadcasting episode 38 on Forging Your Own Path with David Maslanka. Links: David Maslanka The Portfolio Composer: In Memoriam David Maslanka

A question: what do you SEE when you HEAR music? An odd question perhaps, but sometimes composers themselves confess that particular places, persons, and scenes play a role in how music is created. On today’s date in 1994, in San Antonio, Texas, for example, a new symphony for wind ensemble by the American composer David Maslanka received its premiere performance during a convention of the Texas Music Educators Association. In program notes, Maslanka confessed two major inspirations: The first was “the powerful voice of the Earth that comes to me from my adopted western Montana, and the high plains and mountains of central Idaho.” The second, he said, was his fascination with President Abraham Lincoln. Maslanka explained that reading about a Civil War brass band playing the “Old Hundreth” hymn tune at sunset as Lincoln’s coffin was transferred to a waiting funeral train was an image that haunted him. “For me,” wrote Maslanka, “Lincoln’s life and death are as critical today as they were more than a century ago… My impulse through this music is to speak to the fundamental human issues of transformation and re-birth in this chaotic time.”

Melissa Maslanka talks about how she writes her Dharma talks—and how this process applies to a Buddhist life.

I spoke with Mike Maslanka, an employment law partner and head of the Dallas office for Constangy, Brooks & Smith, LLP, who recently published a great article in the Texas Lawyer called: Seven Mindsets of Effective General Counsel. In it, he highlights that “How lawyers think determines how we act. So, to be truly effective, the wise general counsel does not seek answers but rather seeks useful mindsets.” Those mindsets include: (1) All news is good news (“Because then you know where you stand.”); (2) Pick the hill you want to die on (“Make a stand where it matters, not on a useless cul-de-sac.”); (3) ABR: Always be re-framing (“Lawyers can’t change the facts, but we can change the story.”); (4) Fight the fight, not the plan. (“Never get stuck on the original plan, and always deal with what is occurring now, in real time.”); (5) A GC is not a conscience for hire (“A general counsel is not a mouthpiece but a voice of reason.”); (6) Generate options, lots of them (“General counsel can’t direct C-level executives to take actions. They only can guide them by producing options; and, (7) Ask: “Am I adding value?” (“Adding value is not a ‘No, you can’t do XYZ.’ It’s not even a ‘Yes, but’ mindset. It’s one of ‘Yes, and.'”) Ultimately, Maslanka, the creator of the Mike Maslanka @ Your Desk YouTube video series for the Texas Bar (which you can watch here), concludes: “Mindsets progress from aspiration to belief to action. Develop yours, and enjoy the journey.”
