Timeline

1943

David Maslanka (August 30, 1943 – August 7, 2017) was an American composer of Polish descent who wrote for a variety of genres, including works for choir, wind ensemble, chamber music, and symphony orchestra.

Best known for his wind ensemble compositions, Maslanka published over 150 pieces, including ten symphonies, eight of them for concert band, over 15 concerti, and a full Mass.

His compositional style is rhythmically intense and complex, highly tonal and melodically oriented.

His compositions have been performed throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, Canada, and Japan.

His Tenth Symphony was orchestrated by his son, Matthew Maslanka, as it was incomplete at the composer's death.

During his undergraduate work, Maslanka also spent one year studying abroad at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria] (1963–64).

1974

1980

From 1980 until his death in 2017, Maslanka served as a guest composer for over 100 universities, music festivals, and conferences.

Many of Maslanka's compositions for winds and percussion have become established pieces in band repertoire.

Among these pieces are A Child's Garden of Dreams, Rollo Takes a Walk, Hymn for World Peace, numerous concertos featuring a wide variety of solo instruments, including euphonium, flute, piano, marimba, alto saxophone, and (most recently) trombone.

His works for percussion include Montana Music: Three Dances for Percussion, Variations on 'Lost Love', My Lady White, Arcadia II: Concerto for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble, and Crown of Thorns.

Maslanka also wrote a complete Mass for full choir, soprano, and baritone solo, with accompaniment by full symphonic band.

Having spent his childhood in the New England area, several of Maslanka's compositions were influenced by his close relationship with the ocean.

Sea Dreams, for example, as well as the second movement of his second symphony, reference large bodies of water.

Maslanka's works have been recorded and produced primarily by Albany Records, as well as Cambria Records, Crest, CRI, Klavier Music Productions, Mark, Novisse, St. Olaf, and Umass labels.
