Program Notes:
I have recently become fascinated by the idea of non linearity. The concept of interrupting a direct storyline and then returning to it later offers countless artistic opportunities that can deeply convey feelings or beliefs without bluntly stating them to the audience With this in mind, I began thinking about how this could be applied in music in my listening and my composition.
Universal Thoughts is an attempt to utilize the ideas of multiple storylines and non linear development in a short chamber work The project began by drawing out the similar themes and features in five poems by Carl Sandburg and Walt Whitman and arranging them into a nested structure. Within and around this structure, I could develop my concepts and allow the texts to interact with each other in ways that were not always direct or linear Further reflecting this idea are the interaction of different sound worlds developed within the piece, and the relationships between the ensemble and performers themselves. The piece draws its inspiration from the texts, but I hope that in turn, the music can bring new appreciation for these texts for all who hear it

Universal Thoughts of an Unoriginal Author
Written for the NouLou Chamber Players
A tenor large and fresh as the creation fills me, The orbic flex of his mouth is pouring and filling me full
Texts: Song of Myself, No 17
This is the grass that grows wherever the land is and the water is, This the common air that bathes the globe.

Smith
These are really the thoughts of all men in all ages and lands, they are not original with me, If they are not yours as much as mine they are nothing, or next to nothing, If they are not the riddle and the untying of the riddle they are nothing, If they are not just as close as they are distant they are nothing
By Walt Whitman
By Walt Whitman
I hear bravuras of birds, bustle of growing wheat, gossip of flames, clack of sticks cooking my meals, I hear the sound I love, the sound of the human voice, I hear all sounds running together, combined, fused or following, Sounds of the city and sounds out of the city, sounds of the day and night, Talkative young ones to those that like them, the loud laugh of work people at their meals, The angry base of disjointed friendship, the faint tones of the sick, The judge with hands tight to the desk, his pallid lips pronouncing a death sentence, The heave'e'yo of stevedores unlading ships by the wharves, the refrain of the anchor lifters, The ring of alarm bells, the cry of fire, the whirr of swift streaking engines and hose carts with premonitory tinkles and color'd lights, The steam whistle, the solid roll of the train of approaching cars, The slow march play'd at the head of the association marching two and two, (They go to guard some corpse, the flag tops are draped with black muslin.)
I hear the violoncello, ('tis the young man ' s heart's complaint,) I hear the key'd cornet, it glides quickly in through my ears, It shakes mad sweet pangs through my belly and breast. I hear the chorus, it is a grand opera, Ah this indeed is music this suits me
I hear the train'd soprano (what work with hers is this?) The orchestra whirls me wider than Uranus flies, It wrenches such ardors from me I did not know I possess'd them, It sails me, I dab with bare feet, they are lick'd by the indolent waves,
Song of Myself, No 26
Now I will do nothing but listen, To accrue what I hear into this song, to let sounds contribute toward it
The single clenched fist lifted and ready, Or the open asking hand held out and waiting. Choose: For we meet by one or the other
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe Fog
Smith Universal Thoughts Front Matter
My head knocks against the stars My feet are on the hilltops My finger tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life. Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny I have been to hell and back many times I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God. I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible I know the passionate seizure of beauty And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading "Keep Off."
By Carl Sandburg
I am cut by bitter and angry hail, I lose my breath, Steep'd amid honey'd morphine, my windpipe throttled in fakes of death, At length let up again to feel the puzzle of puzzles, And that we call Being
By Carl Sandburg

Notes to All Players and Conductor
Repeat freely: Repeat material inside box until marked An arrowhead at the end of the line indicates that the pattern continues, while a vertical bar at the end of the line indicates the termination of the pattern Do not follow the overarching pulse
On a couple of occasions, the ensemble must play in meters using 6 in the denominator This is simply a shorthand way of notating a metric modulation In such cases, the quarter note is equivalent to a quarter note triplet in a 2/4 or 4/4 time signature.
Spoken in time: Speak the text with the given rhythm. Note the extra line above the main staff, which helps distinguish the spoken rhythms and dynamics from the played material
Speaking freely: Speak the text as if reading it normally, with no regard for the overarching meter or what is going on elsewhere in the ensemble Dotted arrows and rests may be used to distinguish where the speaking should begin and end (see first measure), but many bars will be absent of anything (see second measure) Italic text found above the staff will provide hints as to how this text should be spoken
These two bars are equivalent rhythms Quarter flats (descending) Quarter sharps (ascending) = = For we meet by one or the other They are
This piece frequently uses quarter tones Fingerings are provded for woodwinds for convenience, though they need note be followed if a better fingering can be found The symbols used for these quarter tones are seen to the left

Fingered Gliss: Use the fingers to create rapid chromatic scale between notated pitches.
Timbral Trill
timb tr flutt overblow Smith Universal Thoughts Front vMatter i
Overblowing: Use more air than usual to play these pitches, resulting in more unstable pitches. Occasional cracking is acceptable and expected.
Pitch Bend: use a combination of embouchure and fingers to produce a smooth chromatic bending between the notated pitches

Notes to Pianist
Measures 64 92: Take off the foil; place one to two composition notebook(s) with (a) plastic cover(s) on the strings from around C3 to C6.
Mark the following strings/dampers so they are easy to find inside the piano Smith Universal Thoughts Front Matter ix
1) Due to the active parts both inside the piano and on the keys in this piece, it is recommended that the performer lay the rack down flat so the inside strings are easily accessible Alternatively, the performer may pull the rack as far forward as possible and perform the techniques inside the instrument by reaching over the top of the rack
Before the piece begins: place aluminum foil on the strings in the bottom two octaves Leave about two to three feet close to the dampers for slamming and scratching the strings with your hands.
3) In the case of repeated aleatoric material, the thick black box as described in "Notes to All Players and Conductor," takes the place of the thinner box that typically distinguishes techniques inside of the piano. This is simply to reduce clutter on the page.
2) Please pay careful attention to the difference between tone clusters on the keys and slamming the strings inside the piano with the palm While both are written as rectangular clusters/noteheads, slamming inside of the instrument is distinguished by the box placed around it (like the rest of the extended techniques that occur inside the piano).
Measures 113 122: Remove the notebooks
6) When placing/removing the preparations, try to be as quiet as possible, though some noise is okay!
Instructions for Piano Preparation
4) The notebooks to be placed on the strings in sections like mm 69 113 should be light and have plastic covers in order to produce a buzzing sound on the hammer strike without muting the tone too much.
Measures 144-168: Quietly place the aluminum foil on the low strings again as at the beginning.
Measures 181 188: Place two plastic hangers lengthwise on the strings from around F2 to G4 and G4 A6
5) Make sure that the plastic hangers placed inside the piano are not too bowed and lay mostly flat on the strings. There will be some randomness involved with certain notes not vibrating the hanger, but the performer should try to limit this as much as possible.
Measures 209-218: Remove the foil and hangers as quietly as possible.
