Sunday Bandstand 2 June 2024

John Barnes Chance (20. 11. 1932–16. 8. 1972) was an American composer. He studied composition at the University of Texas, Austin, and is best known for his concert band works, which include "Variations on a Korean Folk Song", "Incantation and Dance", and "Blue Lake Overture".

He is believed to be a descendant of Robert Chance, a Mississippi gambler who settled in Texas in the late 1800s.

His first musical experience started when he was 9 years old taking private piano lessons. In high school, he continued to perform in ensembles
At the University of Texas, he earned a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degree.
In 1956–57 he was honoured with the Carl Owens Award for student composition. After college he played timpani for the Austin Symphony Orchestra before becoming an arranger for the Eighth United States Army bands.

He composed over 20 major works including "Incantation and Dance" which we are featuring on this week’s show.
