P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 2 5 , 2 010 Chamber Choir Texts Il bianco e dolce cigno The gentle white swan sings while dying, and I approach the end of my life weeping. Howstrange and different a fate, that he dies disconsolate and I die happy in a death that fills me with joy and desire. If I were to feel no other pain in my death I would be happy to die a thousand times. Puisque Tout Passe Puisque tout passe, faisons la mélodie passagère; celle qui nous désaltère aura de nous raison. Chantons ce qui nous quitte avec amour et art, soyons plus vite que le rapide départ.
Since everything passes, let us make fleeting melody; the one that refreshes us will get the better of us. Let us sing that which is leaving us with love and art; let us be quicker than its swift departure.
En Hiver En hiver, la mort meurtrière entre dans les maisons; elle cherche la soeur, le père et leur joue du violon. Mais quand la terre remue, sous la bêche du printemps, la mort court dans les rues et salue les passants.
In Winter, murderous Death comes into the houses, seeks out sister and father and plays to them on the fiddle. But when the earth turns under Springtime’s spade Death runs through the streets and greets the passers-by.
The 4-part madrigal (like a secular part-song) by Belgian Renaissance musician Jacob Arcadelt, arose out from the early 16th century. Arcadelt wrote in several languages and this madrigal is in Italian. The narrator contrasts the gentle white swan’s dying moments to his own, sweet “death” for experiencing love with all its joys. This is Arcadelt’s most famous madrigal. John Dowland was an English composer, singer and lutenist. Most of Dowland’s work is written for his own instrument, the lute. Come again was originally written for voice and lute, but has been been transcribed for chorus. Most likely Dowland would have both sung and played these pieces himself. Henry Purcell’s masterpiece, Dido and Aeneas, is considered the high point of English opera. “When I Am Laid in Earth” is a poignant, lovely aria sung by the lovelorn, dying Queen Dido as her hero Aeneas sails away from her and Carthage in order to go to war and found the city of Rome. Following her aria is the closing chorus, “With drooping wings,” wherein a chorus of Cupids gather around her, spreading roses on her tomb and forever keeping watch around her. Homage to the early French chanson is very much evident in the Six Chansons, settings of verse by Rainer Maria Rilke. Here is Hindemith’s unmistakable harmonic language and syntax adapted to the most gracefully inflected and text-sensitive vocal declamation that can be found in his work for chorus. The unique liquid and soft sound of the French language, the pastoral subject matter, the very Frenchlike curve of the melodic line, the seductive harmony -- all are conscious, carefully considered components of a reflection of a French style of song. Janequin and even Fauré are possible inspirations for these gentle, lovely works. Loyola University Chicago 3
P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 2 5 , 2 010 ( c o n t .) Orchestra Khovanshchina (The Khovansky Affair) is an opera in five acts by Modest Mussorgsky written between 1872 and 1880 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The composer wrote the libretto based on historical sources but never lived long enough to see a complete performance. The story concerns an unsuccessful rebellion of Prince Ivan Khovansky against Peter the Great. In the opera, Khovansky’s followers commit mass suicide. The Prelude is in great contrast to the bloody story, setting the scene of dawn on the Moscow River, and heard today in Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestration. Josef Suk’s youthful Serenade for Strings (1892) is probably his best known work and one that combines his personal harmonic style with clear influences from both Brahms and Dvorak. Suk’s training as a professional violinist enabled him to develop the skills to explore the resources of string instruments which are heard to full effect in the first movement of the Serenade performed today. Grieg’s Norwegian Dances are based on actual traditional tunes which were taken from Lindeman’s collections of Mountain Melodies Old and New (1853). Grieg was a pioneer of Scandanavian nationalism, and composed the Norwegian Dances in 1881 originally for piano duets. They were later orchestrated by Czech-born conductor/violinist Hans Sitt. The first dance is based upon a tune called “Sinclair’s March” and the other three are all Hallings (Scandanavian dance movements in ternary form). Chorus Texts The Panther The panther is like a leopard, Except it hasn’t been peppered. If you behold a panther crouch, Prepare to say Ouch. Better yet, if called by a panther, Don’t anther. The Cow The cow is of the bovine ilk; One end is moo, the other milk. The Firefly The firefly’s flame Is something for which science has no name I can think of nothing eerier Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a Person’s posterior. Hope for Resolution Thula sizwe, ungabokhala uJehova wakho uzokunqobela. Inkululeko, sizoyithola, uJehova wakho uzokunqobela.
Nation, do not cry. Jehovah will protect us. We will attain freedom. Jehovah will protect us.
Welten Singen Dank und Ehre Welten singen dank und ehre dem erhab’nen Gottessohn. Preiset ihn, ihr Engelchöre, laut im heil’gen Jubelton.
Worlds sing thanks and praise to the exalted Son of God. Glorify him, O choirs of angels, loudly with holy, triumphal cheers.

P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 2 8 , 2 010 Jazz Band Missing Tooth, penned by Elmhurst College Director of Jazz Studies Doug Beach, is dedicated to the late pianist, composer, educator, and eleven-time Grammy nominee, Frank Mantooth. The tune is based on the chord changes of the popular tune “I Got Rhythm”, or “rhythm changes”, as they are referred to in jazz parlance. The intro features the horns stating short figures interspersed with drum fills. The 32-bar melody features the horns playing rhythmic hits anticipating the beat alternating with longer melodic lines played over a swing feel. The sax section takes over the melody for the bridge, accented by punches in the brass. The second chorus is largely a soli for tutti horns, culminating in a melodic variation of the original melody in the last 8 bars that launches into the solo section. After the solos, there is an interesting section that breaks down the form and rhythm, providing a nice contrast from the swinging solo section. The intro returns, followed by more variations of the melody, with the saxophones re-stating the original melody of the bridge. The chart winds up in energetic fashion by tying the intro figure to the end of the form. Freddie Hubbard (1938-2008) was one the most influential and exciting trumpet players in the history of jazz. Red Clay, from his 1970 album of the same name, remains one of his most popular compositions. Played in a funky rock feel, the tune is constructed of three distinct parts stated in staggered entrances. First, the bass plays a repeating 4 bar line. Next, the bass line’s rhythm is accentuated by a recurring chordal figure. Lastly, the melodic line is stated over the bass line and recurring chords. The harmonic structure of the melody and solos is relatively simple and brief, making the tune a favorite for improvisers to “stretch out” on. Mark Taylor’s arrangement stays very true to the original recording in terms of the overall form. A small group within the band effectively states the melody in unison the first time, and in harmony the second time. The rhythm section and horns in turn support the melody with the aforementioned recurring chord figure. There is ample solo space for a variety of instruments, and the background figures from the original recording are kept in tact, as is the double-time feel that culminates each solo. After the solos, the band states the last section of the melody together, leading to a brief drum solo. An exiting melodic variation stated in stop-time is the culmination of the arrangement, which leads back to the final statement of the staggered three-part melody form. Prolific composer and saxophonist Wayne Shorter (b 1933) has written scores of compositions that have become standards of the jazz repertoire. Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum was originally recorded on his landmark record for the Blue Note label “Speak No Evil”, which should be considered a must-have for any student of the jazz idiom and/or serious jazz fan. (The album also features aforementioned trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, and pianist Herbie Hancock,). In Mike Tomaro’s tasteful arrangement, the tune’s beautiful melody is played over a relaxed swing feel, and is distributed to different horn sections for each phrase. Solos by trumpet, alto sax, and piano follow, with varied backgrounds in the horns. The chart culminates in an ensemble chorus that builds until the penultimate phrase, in which a variation of the tune’s melody returns, drawing the arrangement to an effective close with a brief but familiar recap. Trumpeter and composer Kenny Dorham (1924-1972) is considered by many musicians and critics to be an “unsung hero” of sorts in jazz history. Despite having risen through the ranks during the bebop and hard bop eras in the small groups of Charlie Parker, Max Roach, and the original Jazz Messengers, as well as the big bands of Dizzy Gillespie, Billy Eckstein and others, Dorham’s popularity with the general public was somewhat overshadowed by another fine trumpeter and bandleader whose career began concurrently, Miles Davis. His lively Latin-influenced tune Una Mas is from the 1963 album of the same name. The tune is composed of two contrasting sections: the first consists of a simple repeating melodic and rhythmic figure, the second is a melodic figure that gracefully descends in range and key area, underpinned by energetic rhythmic figures by the rhythm section. Michel Philip Mossman’s arrangement adds interesting melodic and rhythmic material to Dorham’s original melody during its initial statement, but never overshadows its simple elegance. The solo sections are divided by an ensemble chorus that features new melodic material with interesting reharmonizations. After the last soloist, Dorham’s original shout chorus is deftly arranged my Mossman, complete with its characteristic montuno figure. A restatement of the melody and a brief coda that tags the last phrase complete this enjoyable arrangement. 6 Loyola University Chicago
P R O G R A M N O T E S : O C TO B E R 2 8 , 2 010 ( c o n t .) Wind Ensemble Born in Washington, D.C., the “March King” John Philip Sousa was accepted into the Marine Band at the age of thirteen, and later was appointed the band’s leader, a position he held for twelve years before founding his own band. During the Sousa Band’s history (1892–1932), the ensemble performed over 15,200 concerts, establishing Sousa at the turn of the century as one of the most recognized names in music anywhere in the world. Sousa wrote hundreds of pieces, including comic operas and orchestral works, but is most famous for his 135 marches. Sponsored into the Almas Temple of Shriners (Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) by his nephew in 1922, Sousa composed Nobles of the Mystic Shrine march in honor of the occasion and was appointed honorary conductor. At the national Shriners’ convention in 1923, Sousa led this work in a performance by a gigantic band of 6,200 Shriners at Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C. William Schuman entered New York University in 1928 pursuing a business degree while working at an advertising agency. As the years passed, his love for music won out, and he left business school to study composition at the Juilliard School and Columbia University during the 1930s. His breakthrough came in 1938 when he won a composition contest with his Second Symphony, bringing his music to the attention of composer Aaron Copland and Boston Symphony Orchestra conductor Serge Koussevitzky. Both men championed Schuman’s music, and over the next five years his works became great successes both with the public and critics. This success led to positions as president of the Juilliard School and later president of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, thought he always continued to compose throughout his administrative career. Schuman was honored by countless awards and distinctions, including the Pulitzer Prize in Music, two Guggenheim fellowships, and Kennedy Center honors in 1989. Schuman originally wrote his New England Triptych for orchestra in 1956, and rescored the second movement, When Jesus Wept, for the famous Goldman Band in New York in 1958. The triptych is based on hymns by eighteenth century American choral composer William Billings. Written in Boston around the time of the Revolutionary War, the short canon of When Jesus Wept features the following lyrics: “When Jesus wept, the falling tear/In mercy flowed beyond all bound/When Jesus groaned, a trembling fear/Seized all the guilty world around.” Born in 1973 in New Philadelphia, Ohio, John Mackey holds a master of music degree from the Juilliard School and a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music. His works have been performed at the Sydney Opera House; the Brooklyn Academy of Music; Carnegie Hall; the Kennedy Center; Italy’s Spoleto Festival; Alice Tully Hall; and throughout the United States and the world. Mackey wrote the first version of Strange Humors in 1998 for string quartet and djembe and adapted the work for wind ensemble in 2006. Described by the New York Times as a “sultry score” dealing with “mysterious passions,” the piece represents a merging of musical cultures—the modal melodies and syncopated rhythms of Middle Eastern music melded with the percussive accompaniment of African drumming. At the heart of the work lies the pulse of the djembe, an hourglass-shaped drum played with bare hands. The djembe is a major part of the customs of West African countries such as Mali and Guinea, where djembe ensembles accompany many functional celebrations of society. Australian-born Percy Aldridge Grainger is best known for his transcriptions of English folk songs in the early part of the twentieth century. Home-schooled by his mother in Melbourne until the age of thirteen, he then studied music in Frankfurt for six years before moving to London. After pursuing a career as a concert pianist for fourteen years, he moved to the United States, where be became popular as a performer and composer, and even served in the US Army for two years as a performer and a band instructor. His works for concert band are some of the most well-known in the repertoire, and his technique of recording English folk singers with an Edison wax cylinder allowed him to more faithfully transcribe every nuance of their performances. Molly on the Shore was written in 1907 as a gift to his mother, Rose, and was originally scored for string quartet. The work is based on excerpts from “Molly on the Shore” and “Temple Hill,” two Irish reels, or dance tunes, written without text for fiddle. Grainger rescored the work for band in 1920

P R O G R A M N O T E S : A P R I L 2 0 , 2 010 ( c o n t .) Born in 1874 in Cheltenham, England, Gustav Holst’s music bears the unique influences of both English folks songs and Hindu philosophy, though he was well grounded in the British military band tradition as a trombone player. After a studying composition and trombone at the Royal College of Music, Holst accepted a position in 1905 as the director of music at the St. Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith, London, where he would teach for the rest of his life. He composed his Second Suite in F for military band in 1911, just a few years before writing his monumental suite The Planets. The four movements of the Second Suite are based entirely on folk songs and morris dances, and the final movement features two competing themes, the “Dargason” and the well-known “Greensleeves.”

This alignment of creative energies, which helps foster interdisciplinary collaboration, combined with the renovation of two buildings on the Lake Shore Campus, has inspired a renaissance of the arts at Loyola University Chicago.
