Dr. Ed Huckeby is currently an Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs at Northeastern State University (Oklahoma), serving as the chief administrative officer for the Tulsa and Broken Arrow campuses.

He also holds the title of emeritus professor of music at Northwestern Oklahoma State University where he served as music department chairman and dean of the graduate school for 22 years. Prior to his appointment at Northwestern in 1976, he spent eight years teaching instrumental music in the public schools of Oklahoma where his marching, concert and jazz bands won state and regional acclaim. His success in the public schools of Oklahoma led him into the college teaching ranks where he became internationally recognized as an outstanding music educator and composer of almost 100 published works for concert and marching band. Ed's ability to write interesting and accessible instrumental music can be attributed to his experience at a variety of musical levels. Huckeby's performance background and experience is also very eclectic, having been a member of a symphony orchestra (horn), a jazz band (trumpet), and a contemporary Christian quintet (bass guitar and vocals), as well as having served regularly as a church organist and pianist. His outstanding contributions to the concert and marching band literature have played an important role in the development of the comtemporary band repertoire. Ed hold's a bachelor's degree in music education from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma, a master's degree in music education from the University of Oklahoma, and a doctorate in administration from Oklahoma State University with additional study at the University of North Texas. He has written music education articles for The Instrumentalist, The American Music Teacher, and The Journal of the International Horn Society, and has held memberships in Music Educators National Conference, Oklahoma Music Educators Association, Oklahoma Bandmasters Association, A.S.C.A.P., Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, and Phi Beta Mu, where he has served as a member of the national board of directors and state chapter president. Huckeby was selected as an "Outstanding Young Man in America", is listed in the "International Who's Who's in Music", and was inducted into the Oklahoma Bandmasters Association "Hall of Fame" in 1996. He has created over 25 commissioned works and regularly serves as a clinician, adjudicator and conductor for instrumental music ensembles around the world.

Equinox(Overture For Band) by Ed Huckeby "Solid, creative writing makes this a terrific choice for concert or contest for mid-level bands! The andante introduction drives straight into an animated allegro, punctuated by heart-stirring rhythms. Excellent teaching material for developing musicianship in your younger players. You'll be glad you looked at this one! Well done!" (adapted from http://www.jwpepper.com) My View On This Piece: Beautiful. Simply Beautiful. It's main melody by the alto saxes and trumpet. Trombone, bassoon, euphonium and the tuba provides an impressive rythem which suits the allegro con moto perfectly. i being a euphonium player found that the second mood of the piece had an extremely beautiful euphonium background melody. Overall its a simple piece which packs a huge Punch. |
