Personal Note My high school band director, Clarence F. Wroblewski, died on November 24, 2018. In the 1950s, he was a pioneer in the field of public school instrumental music in Baltimore City. He was my mentor and my dear friend. It was his guidance and encouragement that set my young life's course on the path of music. Performance Notes Paradigm Shift is an energetic and aggressive concert piece for young bands with at least one year's training. It is also sophisticated enough for more experienced bands. Pitched in C minor, the piece opens with an energetic introduction which quickly leads to the main theme stated by the Clarinets at m. 9. A brass fanfare in C major ensues at m. 29. The woodwinds' answer to the brass fanfare at m. 39 contains divisi notes in the flute (doubled in the Oboe) which must be played. The music to the introduction is restated at m. 58, but is now shifted to the second beat of the measure by means of an additional beat inserted into m. 57. Younger bands may need some extra instruction in executing this time shift. Overall, the music should be performed boldly and with marcato articulation except where slurs are written.
