From Nine We Rise Score Video

From Nine We Rise By: Ben Dunham Commissioned by the Tarpon Springs Leadership Conservatory for the Arts Wind Ensemble in celebration of Director Kevin Ford's 30th Year at the school. Premiered on May 9th 2025 at Tarpon Springs High School Program Notes: When I was asked to write a piece celebrating Mr. Ford’s 30th year at Tarpon Springs, I was unsure where to begin. The Tarpon Springs Leadership Conservatory for the Arts (TSLCA) has had many accomplishments, but one constant is Mr. Ford’s encouragement for students to leave a legacy. Reflecting on this, I thought back to the early days of the Tarpon Band Program. I asked Ms. Jeannine how many members the band had when Mr. Ford arrived, to which she replied only eight. This led me to the title "From Nine We Rise," which felt perfect for the story I wanted to tell. This piece is about growth and resilience. Starting with just eight musicians and a conductor, the piece grows from a single note (A), rising into a powerful fanfare – representing the journey and growth of the band under Mr. Ford’s guidance. Though the piece doesn’t present the melody immediately, it focuses on a rising motif (A, B♭, C, C#, D, E) which arrives at a bold fanfare towards the end of the work. Lastly, I view the conclusion not as the end of Mr. Ford’s 30 years, but as a forward-looking gesture. His legacy is still unfolding, and it will continue through generations of students who have had the privilege of learning under his leadership at TSLCA.
