At this festive time of year, we hope you make Symphony Center your musical home. Great music thrives inside Orchestra Hall in concerts performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and guests of the Symphony Center Presents series as well as in programs produced by the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute. We would like to highlight just a few of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s extraordinary offerings occurring in the days and months ahead.

In December, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra welcomes four guest conductors—Thomas Søndergård, Dalia Stasevska, Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, and Alastair Willis. In addition, CSO Artist-in-Residence Hilary Hahn returns to Chicago to perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, and the Chicago Symphony Chorus performs Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and is also featured on the CSO’s holiday program, Merry, Merry Chicago!

To begin the new year, conductor Marin Alsop leads the CSO in works by contemporary composers: This Midnight Hour by former Mead Composer-inResidence Anna Clyne, Rounds by current Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery, and Her Story, a CSO co-commission by Pulitzer Prize-winner Julia Wolfe. Her Story pays tribute to the pursuit of equal rights, representation, and access to democracy for women in America.

In mid-January, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and the CSO embark on a tour of the U.S. and Canada. We are delighted that the CSO can resume touring this season following a two-year hiatus. Soon after the Orchestra returns to Chicago, Klaus Mäkelä conducts the U.S. premiere of another CSO co-commission, Aino, by Jimmy López Bellido.

The Symphony Center Presents series brings several outstanding programs in December, including the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, Itzhak Perlman and guests in The Fiddler’s House, Chanticleer (at Fourth Presbyterian Church), and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass. In January and February, SCP wel comes the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and the young musicians of Mutter Virtuosi, Mavis Staples with special guest Celisse, and acclaimed tenor Juan Diego Flórez. On Valentine’s Day, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, celebrat ing its centennial season, makes its Symphony Center debut with its new music director, Gustavo Gimeno.

We send our warmest wishes for a music-filled, happy, and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you at Symphony Center soon.

ALL THE RIGHT NOTES

Of all the music Riccardo Muti has conducted during his tenure as music director, there are certain composers and works that stand out to musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

As part of an ongoing series, CSO musicians reflect on Muti’s artistry and the experience of working closely with him by sharing which of his interpretations from the podium they cherish most. In addition, learn how you can experience these performances in and away from Orchestra Hall.

“I have loved performing the Verdi operas with Maestro Muti. Many of us had never played these works before, and it was a joy to learn them with Maestro Muti, who has a consummate knowledge of Verdi’s texts and scores. What a sublime treat for the Orchestra and Chicago audiences!”

Susan Synnestvedt Violin

When performing the idiosyncratic music of Mason Bates’s Alternative Energy, Maestro Muti assuredly guided the Orchestra with pinpoint control, expertly weaving between motoric electronic club beats and nuanced musical expression. His level of preparation for these new commissions has always been extraordinary, further gaining the respect from musicians and emblematic of this incredible partnership which has yielded so many unforgettable performances.”

The Negaunee Music Institute’s Lasting Partnership with the Irene Taylor Trust

In 1995, the family of the late Irene Taylor established a U.K.-based charity with the intent to bridge two fields about which she and her husband, Lord Chief Justice Peter Taylor, cared deeply: prison reform and music. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Sara Lee, the Irene Taylor Trust’s inaugural program, Music in Prisons, developed workshops to support pris oners in composing, performing, and recording original music.

For over twenty-five years, the trust has expanded with additional songwriting programs for at-risk young people and ex-prisoners, all with the goal of using collaborative music-mak ing to help individuals develop confidence, transferable skills and ambitions for the future.

teens incarcerated at the Illinois Youth CenterChicago, pregnant women and young parents through the Lullaby Project, and families that have lost children to gun violence through the Notes for Peace project. This season, projects take place at the Illinois Youth Center-Chicago, where youth will compose and perform orig inal music supported by musicians of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. Notes for Peace concluded its most recent project with a per formance at Epiphany Center for the Arts on November 20 of seven new songs dedicated to the memory of those lost to gun violence.

“The Irene Taylor Trust has shown us the power of collaborative songwriting,” said Jonathan McCormick, director of education and the NMI. “Our work together over the years has enabled the CSOA to engage with and serve communities across Chicago in ways we never could have imagined or implemented on our own.”

In the years since, the partnership between the two orga nizations has yielded more than 150 original pieces of music, includ ing songs written by

18 NINE TY-SECOND SEASON

Every Christmas, on the Balearic island of Mallorca, singers at the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca and those at the monastery of Lluc perform a Christmas play that originates from the earliest days of Christianity. The “Song of the Sibyl,” or “Cant de la Sibila” in Catalan, is based on an ancient Greek prophecy from the Erythraean Sibyl, foretelling the coming of the Messiah. The earliest version of the prophecy was written down by Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 340), and the first musical setting of the text appears in the early tenth-century codex of St. Martial de Limoges. This chant uses a Latin translation by St. Augustine: “Iudicii signum: tellus sudore madescet” (Sign of judgment: the earth grows wet with sweat). The chant spread widely throughout medieval Europe, making its way to France, Italy, and Spain. In the fif teenth and sixteenth centuries, the Latin text was translated into local vernaculars, including the Catalan version “Al jorn del judici,” sung to this day.

Typically, the solo chant verses are separated by choral restatements of the first verse. Many composers have arranged versions of this refrain, including the Spanish Renaissance composers Bartolomé Cárceres and Cristóbal Morales. In our program, we perform the refrain by Cárceres and the ravishing Advent motet “Ecce virgo concipiet” by Morales, which sets prophetic texts from the book of Isaiah (7:14).

Sibylline prophecies also feature in a set of highly chromatic motets by the Franco-Flemish master Orlande de Lassus. Though not published until after his death, his Prophetiae Sibyllarum is likely the work of a twenty-something Lassus showcasing and exploring his mastery of tonality. Each movement, including “Sibylla Europaea” and “Sibylla Tiburtina,” is a brief and intense exploration of chromatic voice leading. Most of the sonorities are root position triads, and most of the part-writing is homophonic. Their unearthly mysticism is brought about almost exclusively through unexpected chromatic twists that foreshadow the intense expression ism of Carlo Gesualdo a generation later.

“Recordare Jesu pie” demonstrates the more conventional side of Lassus. Here, expressive chromaticism gives way to expressive polyphony with a text from the requiem liturgy. Perhaps a curious choice for a Christmas program, “Recordare Jesu pie” is a stanza from the Dies irae, which prophesies the final day of judg ment “teste David cum Sibylla,” or “As David Prophesied with the Sibyl.”

Born in Ávila in 1548, Tómas Luis de Victoria moved to Rome as a teenager to study music. Here, he likely interacted, and perhaps even studied, with Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. After making a name for himself and publishing at least seven books of polyphony, he moved back to Spain in 1587 to take a post at the royal Monasterio de las Descalzas de Santa Clara in Madrid, where he served until the end of his life. His motet, “Ecce dominus veniet,” is an antiphon for the first Sunday of Advent. The text is based on a passage from the Old Testament that can be interpreted as a prophecy for the second com ing of Christ (Zechariah 14:5, 6). This work and the Christmas motet “O regem caeli” showcase Victoria’s refined and joyful compositional style. Duets and trios come through the texture, and harmonic pillars give an almost tonal structure to the works. This is an expertly crafted High Renaissance polyphony.

If Victoria is the most famous Spanish com poser from the Renaissance, then Francisco Guerrero is likely the second most famous. Born in Seville in 1528, he spent most of his life work ing at the Seville Cathedral, first as a singer and then as a choirmaster. Unlike Victoria, Guerrero wrote many secular songs. “A un niño llorando” and “Oy, Joseph” both come from his 1589 publi cation Canciones y villanescas espirituales, which is a collection of brief sacred songs written in the style of the typically secular Spanish villancico Villancicos are often spirited and dance-like, featuring frequent rhythmic interplay between duple and triple meter. They consist of a series of verses (coplas) sandwiched between a recurring refrain (estribillo).

“E la don don” and “Ríu, ríu, chíu” are also villancicos. The former is an anonymous setting

DECEMBER 2022–FEBRUARY 2023 19

of a Catalan text, which asks us to dance and sing for joy at Christ’s birth. “Ríu, ríu, chíu” sets a Spanish text and is likely the only villancico that has maintained its widespread popularity from the 1500s—even the Monkees recorded a version of it for television back in 1967. It is attributed to the Catalan Renaissance composer Mateo Flecha. In Spanish, “ríu” is a nonsense syllable. In Catalan, “ríu” means “river.”

We conclude the first half of our program with two traditional Catalan Christmas carols. “El noi de la mare” is a simple and sweet folk tune arranged by the twentieth-century choir director and Barcelona native Enrique Ribó. “Fum, fum, fum” could be an onomatopoeic title referenc ing the sound of a guitar or the beat of a drum. “Fum” also translates to “smoke” in Catalan, so perhaps this song alludes to the familiar winter tropes of warmth and fires. The arrangement we perform tonight, written for us by our music director Tim Keeler, showcases the many differ ent sides of Chanticleer.

Arvo Pärt wrote “Bogoróditse Djévo” in 1990 for the annual Festival of Nine Lessons and

Carols at King’s College, Cambridge. The ser vice, which began in 1918 and has been broadcast on Christmas Day since 1928, often features a new composition from a prominent composer. Much of Pärt’s oeuvre is slow and contemplative. “Bogoróditse Djévo,” however, is a brief, jubilant burst of joy. Its Church Slavonic text comes from the Orthodox Book of Prayers and is a hymn to the Virgin Mary similar to the Latin prayer “Ave Maria.”

Franz Biebl’s “Ave Maria” has become syn onymous with Chanticleer. Every Christmas season, we look forward to sharing this gem with our audiences around the country. Biebl’s setting is actually a version of the “Angelus,” a Catholic devotional prayer telling the story of the annunciation and incarnation. The male chorus arrangement we sing in these concerts, as well as two other editions for mixed chorus, are published by Hinshaw Music as part of the Chanticleer Choral Series.

Gabriel’s Message (arranged by David Willcocks)

The angel Gabriel from heaven came, his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame; “All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary, most highly favored lady.” Gloria!

“For known a blessed mother thou shalt be, all generations laud and honor thee. Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold. Most highly favored lady.” Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head, “To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said. “My soul shall laud and magnify His holy name.” Most highly favored lady. Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born in Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn, and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say: “Most highly favored lady.” Gloria!

Lo, He Slumbers in His Manger

Hush! My dear, lie still and slumber; holy angels guard thy bed! Heav’nly blessings without number gently falling on thy head.

Sleep my babe; thy food and raiment, house and home, thy friends provide; all without thy care or payment, all thy wants are well supplied.

Lo! He slumbers in His manger where the horned oxen fed; peace, my darling, here’s no danger, here’s no ox a-near thy bed.

May’st thou live to know and fear Him, trust and love Him all thy days; then go dwell forever near Him, see His face and sing His praise!

Walking in the Air (arranged by Adam Ward)

We’re walking in the air, we’re floating in the moonlit sky; the people far below are sleeping as we fly.

I’m holding very tight, I’m riding in the midnight blue, I’m finding I can fly so high above with you.

Far across the world the villages go by like dreams, the rivers and the hills, the forest and the streams . . .

Children gaze open-mouthed, taken by surprise; nobody down below believes their eyes!

We’re surfing in the air, we’re swimming in the frozen sky, we’re drifting over icy mountains floating by.

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep, rousing up a mighty monster from its sleep . . .

We’re walking in the air, we’re dancing in the midnight sky, and everyone who sees us greets us as we fly.

White Christmas from Holiday Inn (arranged by Sanford Dole)

The sun is shining, the grass is green, the redwood and oak trees sway. There’s never been such a day in San Francisco, CA. But it’s December twenty-fourth, and I am longing to be up north . . .

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know. Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card I write. May your days be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white.

The wise men came from far and near. They brought Him gifts, goodwill and cheer.

They looked for Him for a thousand years, to take away all doubt and fears.

Chanticleer

The Grammy Award–winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its wide-ranging rep ertoire and dazzling virtuosity. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto, Chanticleer quickly took its place as one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world, selling more than one million recordings and performing thousands of live concerts to audiences around the globe.

Rooted in the Renaissance, Chanticleer’s repertoire has been expanded to include a wide range of classical, gospel, jazz, and popular music and to reflect a deep commitment to the com missioning of new compositions and arrange ments. The ensemble has dedicated much of its vast recording catalog to these commissions, garnering Grammy awards for its recordings of Sir John Tavener’s Lamentations and Praises and the ambitious collection of commissioned works titled Colors of Love. Chanticleer is the recipient of the Dale Warland Chorus America Commission Award and the Chorus America/ ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. During his tenure with Chanticleer, its Music Director Emeritus Joseph H. Jennings received the Brazeal Wayne Dennard Award for his contri bution to the African American choral tradition.

Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer continues to maintain ambitious programming in its hometown of San Francisco, including a large education and outreach program and an annual

concert series that includes its legendary holiday tradition A Chanticleer Christmas. Chanticleer is a non-profit organization gov erned by a volunteer board of trustees, admin istered by a professional staff with a full-time professional ensemble. In addition to the many individual contributors to Chanticleer, the board of trustees thanks the following foundations, corporations, and government agencies for their exceptional support: Cal Arts (California Small Business COVID-19 Relief Grant Program), the George Family Foundation, San Francisco Grants for the Arts, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, the Bernard Osher Foundation, the Bob Ross Foundation, and Small Business Association—Shuttered Venue Operators Grant.

Tim Keeler Music Director

Tim Keeler sang as a countertenor in Chanticleer during the 2017–18 season, becoming the fourth of its six music directors to have been a member of the ensemble. Prior to moving to San Francisco, Keeler forged a career as an active conductor, singer, and educator. He performed with the New York Polyphony, Clarion Choir, and Choir of Trinity Wall Street. He also performed frequently as a soloist, appearing regularly in the Bach Vespers series at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City, as well as with TENET, New York’s preeminent early music ensemble. An avid proponent of new and challenging repertoire, Keeler remains a core member of Ekmeles, a vocal ensemble based in New York City and dedicated to contemporary, avantgarde, and infrequently performed vocal repertoire.

As an educator, Keeler directed the Men’s Chorus at the University of Maryland, served as director of choirs at the Special Music School High School in Manhattan, and worked closely

with the Young People’s Chorus of New York City as a vocal coach and satellite school con ductor. He was also the choral conductor for Juilliard’s new Summer Performing Arts pro gram, a two-week intensive summer course in Geneva, Switzerland.

Keeler holds a bachelor’s degree in music from Princeton University with certificates in vocal performance and computer science, a mas ter of philosophy degree in music and science from Cambridge University, a master’s in choral conducting from the University of Michigan,

and a doctorate in choral conducting from the University of Maryland.

While studying with Jerry Blackstone at the University of Michigan, Keeler served as assis tant conductor of the Grammy Award–winning UMS Choral Union, preparing the choir for performances with Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. At Maryland, under the supervision of Edward Maclary, Keeler helped prepare choirs for performances with the National Symphony Orchestra and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
