MODLIN CENTER FOR THE ARTS PRESENTS TERENCE BLANCHARD, FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES EXCERPTS IN CONCERT In September 2021, after The Metropolitan Opera had been shuttered for over a year, the world renowned institution opened its season with the first work in its 138 years written by an African American composer — TERENCE BLANCHARD’s masterpiece Fire Shut Up In My Bones. The production, which was a remount of the premiere at Opera Theatre of Saint Louis in 2019, was performed eight (8) times for almost 30,000 people, not to mention the hundreds of thousands that watched The MET: LIVE in HD in theaters all over the world. Not only is this a masterwork, but a cultural flashpoint. The message? That opera and classical music is for EVERYONE. In an effort to continue that message, Blanchard and The E-Collective have teamed up with David Balakrishnan and his double GRAMMY-winning Turtle Island Quartet and visual artist Andrew F. Scott to create a concert production that features excerpts from the opera performed by the composer, this incredible ensemble, and two guest singers. The music and Scott’s video projections give the audience a look inside the mind of Blanchard, and the gravitational pull of the moment that he has created.
Tonight’s performance will be announced from the stage and run approximately 90 minutes, without intermission. PROGRAM NOTES This concert will include and likely begin with instrumental works by Terence Blanchard, The E-Collective & Turtle Island Quartet. The music from Fire Shut Up In My Bones presented in this format, arranged by David Balakrishnan, is intended to provide a glimpse of Blanchard’s work in a format that may offer insight to the original production. The original work is written for Orchestra, jazz quartet, and full cast, and is fully staged with costumes, sets and choreography. Audiences are invited to see the opera in one of its staged productions to understand the context of this suite. Excerpted Suite: 1. Tears of Anger & Shame – Charles 2. Don’t Be In Such A Rush – Billie & Charles 3. Leave It In The Road – Billie 4. Golden Button – Charles & Destiny 5. Peculiar Grace – Destiny 6. Peculiar Grace (Instrumental) 7. There Was A Storm – Charles 8. A Piece for Billie – Billie 9. The Night Brings You – Charles & Greta 10. Peculiar Grace Reprise – Charles All works include Terence Blanchard, The E-Collective & Turtle Island Quartet.
ARTISTS Adrienne Danrich, soprano Nicholas Newton, bass-baritone Andrew F. Scott, visual artist E-Collective Terence Blanchard, trumpet, keyboards Fabian Almazan, keyboards Charles Altura, guitar Gene Coye, drums David Ginyard, Jr., bass Turtle Island Quartet Naseem Alatrash, cello David Balakrishnan, violin Gabriel Terracciano, violin Benjamin Von Gutzeit, viola
ARTIST BIO TERENCE BLANCHARD has been a consistent artistic force for making powerful musical statements concerning painful American tragedies – past and present. He stands tall as one of jazz’s most-esteemed trumpeters and defies expectations by creating a spectrum of artistic pursuits. A seven-time Grammy Winner and twice Oscar-nominated film composer, Blanchard becomes only the second African-American composer to be nominated twice in the original score category at the 2022 Academy Awards, duplicating Quincy Jones’ feat from 1967’s In Cold Blood and 1985’s The Color Purple. Blanchard is also heralded as a two-time opera composer whose Fire Shut Up in My Bones, is based on the memoir of celebrated writer and New York Times columnist Charles Blow. The Metropolitan Opera premiered Fire Shut Up in My Bones on September 27, 2021, to open their 2021-22 season in New York, making it the first opera composed by an African-American composer to premiere at the Met. The recording of those performances just received a Grammy nomination for “Best Opera Recording.” The New York Times labeled Blanchard’s opera “inspiring,” “subtly powerful” and “a bold affecting adaptation of Charles Blow’s work.” Of the historical moment, Blanchard said, “I don’t want to be a token, but a turnkey.” Blanchard’s first opera, Champion also premiered to critical acclaim in 2013 and starred Denyce Graves with a libretto from Pulitzer Prize Winner, Michael Cristofer. Champion will be coming to the Met in April 2023. But there is a center of gravity. It’s Blanchard’s beautiful, provocative, inspiring jazz recordings that undergird all these projects. The same holds true now as it did early in his career in 1994 when he told DownBeat: “Writing for film is fun, but nothing can beat being a jazz musician, playing a club, playing a concert.” From his expansive work composing the scores for over 20 Spike Lee projects over three decades, ranging from the documentary When the Levees Broke to the latest Lee film, Da 5 Bloods, Blanchard has interwoven beautiful melodies that created strong backdrops to human stories like Regina King’s One Night in Miami; Kasi Lemmons’ Eve’s Bayou and Harriet; George Lucas’ Red Tails; the critically acclaimed drama series Perry Mason; the National Geographic limited series Genius: Aretha; Apple TV’s docuseries They Call Me Magic (for which Blanchard received his second Emmy nomination) and in theaters now, Gina Prince Bythewood and Viola Davis’ The Woman King.
In his thirtieth year as a recording leader, Blanchard delivers Absence, a collaboration with his longtime E-Collective band and the acclaimed Turtle Island Quartet which received Grammy nominations in November 2021 for Best Instrumental Jazz Album and Best Improvised Jazz Solo for Blanchard. Recorded in February 2020 just before the Covid-19 lockdowns, Absence started out as a project to show gratitude to Wayne Shorter. “I knew that Wayne wasn’t feeling well at the time, so I wanted to honor him to let him know how much he has meant to me,” says Blanchard who today lives in Los Angeles as well as in his native New Orleans. “When you look at my own writing, you can see how much I’ve learned from Wayne. He mastered writing compositions starting with a simple melody and then juxtaposing it against the harmonies that come from a different place to make it come alive in a different light.” Regarding his consistent attachment to artistic works of conscience, Blanchard confesses, “You get to a certain age when you ask, ‘Who’s going to stand up and speak out for us?’ Then you look around and realize that the James Baldwins, Muhammad Alis and Dr. Kings are no longer here... and begin to understand that it falls on you. I’m not trying to say I’m here to try to correct the whole thing, I’m just trying to speak the truth.” In that regard, he cites unimpeachable inspirations. “Max Roach with his Freedom Now Suite, John Coltrane playing Alabama, even Louis Armstrong talking about what was going on with his people any time he was interviewed. Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter who live by their Buddhist philosophy and try to expand the conscience of their communities. I’m standing on all their shoulders. How dare I come through this life having had the blessing of meeting those men and not take away any of that? Like anybody else, I’d like to play feel good party music but sometimes my music is about the reality of where we are.”
TEXTS Audiences are invited to read the following texts before or after the performance, and to put aside programs during the evening’s experience. TEARS OF ANGER & SHAME Tears from a walled up place from another time From a boy who couldn’t cry I never thought it would come out But here it is But here they are Tears of anger and shame A banner of pain On my way to kill a man Rusty pistol in my hand A gun my mother gave me just in case But mama’s gun couldn’t keep me safe In a walled up place in another time The boy who couldn’t cry is crying now And someone must die Interstate 20 I’ve walked this lonely road a thousand times But never so fast as with murder on my mind A voice on thе phone What’s going on, boy? What’s going on? Like nothing has happenеd Like everything was fine Shame held down too long, but betrayal doesn’t die Scratching to get up Churning, boiling to get out Now here it is Now here they are Tears of rage and revenge And someone must die Bullets, blood, and death, bullets, blood, and death Prepare to die, motherfucker, prepare to die And maybe the part of me I despise will die with you
DON’T BE IN SUCH A RUSH Don’t be in such a rush to grow When you’re ready to make that jump, you’ll know You’ll go to school, I promise you You’ll study hard and earn your degree You won’t have to break your back in the fields Or stand on your feet all day cutting chickens like me But one day soon, you’ll see, I’m gonna be a secretary And after work, I’ll go to school to study to be a teacher Maybe one day I’ll teach you And your daddy will be the one working in the hot sun All day on his feet in construction Man does what he gotta do to keep the lights on and the children fed What kinda buildin’ man can’t build his own front steps? Spinner rises with the sun, and it’s late when he comes home LEAVE IT IN THE ROAD Sometimes, you gotta just leave it You gotta just leave it alone Sometimes, you gotta leave it all behind Lay your burden down No more softness No more places for a man to hide You gotta use all this pain to make you stronger You can’t play nobody’s fool no damn longer You gotta leave everything you don’t need You gotta lay it down and leave it in the road What about me? What if I’m one of the things you no longer need? Didn’t I give you everything? Even what I don’t have yet, even my dreams? I’m gonna leave it I’m gonna lay it down and forget Turn my back and move on Leave my past to step forward I’m gonna leave it all behind I’m gonna lay it down and leave it Leave it Leave it in the road
GOLDEN BUTTON Golden button, where you come from? From a jacket of a king? Or the pocket of a father in a world I never seen? Pulled from his coat when he pick up his son And put in a pocket for his wife to sew on? Or given to his son to hold? One day, you’ll have a coat like Daddy’s of your own With buttons of gold Hold on to this one until then And think of me when you’re alone I’ll be with you Golden button, things thrown away, lost and forgotten Your loss, my gain A treasure to be stashed away for a rainy day To fill the emptiness inside of me Golden button, where you come from? Takе me there Is thеre a land across the sea Where someone might have time for me? Golden button, where you come from? From a jacket of a king? Or the pocket of a father in a world I never seen? Pulled from his coat when he pick up his son And put in a pocket for his wife to sew on? Or given to his son to hold? One day, you’ll have a coat like Daddy’s of your own With buttons of gold Hold on to this one until then And think of me when you’re alone I’ll be with you Golden button, things thrown away, lost and forgotten Your loss, my gain A treasure to be stashed away for a rainy day To fill the emptiness inside of me Golden button, where you come from? Take us there Is there a land across the sea Where someone might have time for me? Hold on to this one until then And think of me when you’re alone Your loneliness will be with you
PECULIAR GRACE There once was a boy of peculiar grace A dangerous existence for a man of his race A Black boy from a lawless town Where everyone carries a gun He carried shame in a holster ‘round his waist A boy of peculiar grace Manhood lost and not found ‘til now Dreams that kept him awake Isolated by strange desires Half-formed, not embraced A graceful boy in a dangerous place Alone, a subject of curiosity For the old folks to speculate What wrong with that boy? A stranger in his hometown An oddity, the butt of a joke A hurt that can’t be erased The South is no place For a boy with peculiar grace You’ll go north, you’ll make your way Nothing can stop you, no reason to stay The South is no place For a boy with peculiar grace THERE WAS A STORM Lord, take this wanting from me Drown out the noises in my head The shouting righteous Religious theater The spectacle of the saved Speak to me here, in nature Where I can breathe Your air Let me know You by Your creations Come to me here There was a storm when I was young A storm that woke me from a dream A roar of thunder shook my bed Lightning jolted through me Rain drowned me in shame The next day nothing was the same
I couldn’t stop the howling wind Even when it was calm again And dry and warm The chill remained No one seemed to see The evidence of catastrophe But in the woods, the ground beneath my feet Was thick with debris Branches stripped of leaves But overhead, tall stood the trees Strong and straight and bare How do you weather such a storm Battered by wind and rain And still stand tall day after day Beaten, but still the same? We sway, we sway, our roots run deep We draw our strength from underneath We bend, we don’t break, we sway There once was a storm when I was young A storm that woke me from a dream A roar of thunder shook my bed Lightning jolted through me My innocence lost in the rain But still I grow, still I remain Day after day, changed, but still the same I sway, I sway, my roots run deep I draw my strength from underneath I bend, I don’t break, I sway We sway, we sway, our roots run deep We draw our strength from underneath We bend, we don’t break, we sway A PIECE FOR BILLIE A place where you can be Just by yourself Only yourself A place where I can be myself And laugh and cry or dream or hide That’s all I wanted (All I wanted) In my prime Now I’m alone, what will I do (What will i do?)
With so much space that’s mine? I miss them, Lord (I miss them, Lord) Is that a crime? (Is that a crime) I did it all alone I worked and cooked and cleaned And kept us fed A roof over our head (Our head) Five hungry boys (Five hungry boys) Raised and grown and out the door Taking with them pieces of Billie As long as my boys are fine I’ll survive with what I have The piece of me that’s mine So long as I have a piece for Billie I’ll be just fine THE NIGHT BRINGS YOU I used to hate the night Night was my sworn enemy I can’t believe how much it frightened me It brought unwanted thoughts and memories Now I look at dusk impatiently Hurry, twilight, I need to see the stars And here you are, the night brings you I used to pray for dreamless sleep to deliver me to morning I can’t believe how much I used to sleep Now I’d give up sleep forever To make night a moment longer Because night brings you When I’m with you, I lose myself, become myself I don’t know where you begin and where I end If I could stay, I swear I’d never sleep again I’d give up sleep to be with you The night brings you Stay I can’t Why do you always have to go? Can I tell you something? You can tell me anything You say that now We’ve told each other so many things
More than I’ve told anyone What can’t you tell me? Tell me something first I love you That’s no secret WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY When I was just a little boy Seven years old An older cousin came to stay I was a lonely boy Who needed attention And this cousin wanted to play With only me Late one night He pressed behind me, held me tight And whispered in my ear In a voice meant to loosen my limbs and shield his sins He said it was just a game he wanted to play With only me I didn’t scream My spirit left my body to watch the scene I was powerless to stop it, so it seemed I didn’t cry Though I was bereft like someone died And that someone was me Was it my fault? My curiosity, my need? Does it explain the naked figures haunting my dreams? Lovely phantoms whispering in my ear In voices meant to loosen my limbs and reveal my sins About a game they want to play With only me Pray to God, but even God couldn’t make them go away Then there was you And night became my friend And now I dread the day Charles What I wanted to say What I need to tell you I love you
But there’s a boy who believes I love only him The hours I give to you are stolen I promised to another I can’t come here any longer I can only be your friend You’re not serious, Greta Don’t do this to me I love you, don’t leave me alone I need you You’re the only thing keeping them at bay If I hadn’t told you Charles The hours I give to you are stolen There’s a boy who believes I love only him If I hadn’t told you my secret Charles, it’s me Would we still have to be friends? I can’t live with this duplicity I won’t live half a lie I have to decide And I choose him I can’t stay I’m sorry I’d give up sleep forever To have you a moment longer What is this feeling? Is this my heart breaking? There once was a boy of peculiar grace A damaged, tainted boy Alone, disgraced A sad, pathetic boy Who had no place
PECULIAR GRACE REPRISE I once was a boy of peculiar grace A dangerous existence for a man of my race A Black boy from a lawless town Where everyone carries a gun I carried shame in a holster ‘round my waist A boy of peculiar grace Manhood lost and not found ‘til now Dreams that kept me awake Isolated by strange desires Half-formed, not embraced A graceful boy in a dangerous place Alone, a subject of curiosity For the old folks to speculate “What’s wrong with that boy?” A stranger in my hometown An oddity, the butt of a jokе A hurt that can’t be erased Thе south is no place for a boy with peculiar grace I’ll go north, I’ll make my way Nothing can stop me, no reason to stay The south is no place for a boy with peculiar grace You’ll go north, you’ll make your way Nothing can stop you, no reason to stay The south is no place for a boy with peculiar grace Goodbye, Gibsland, goodbye, shame Goodbye, nightmares, goodbye, pain Goodbye, pistols in my mama’s purse Goodbye, pastors in the Baptist church Goodbye, daddy and your good time women Goodbye, honky-tonks and sinners in ‘em Goodbye, Gibsland, goodbye, shame Goodbye, nightmares, goodbye, pain Goodbye, pistols in our mama’s purse Goodbye, pastors in the Baptist church Goodbye, daddy and your good time women Goodbye, honky-tonks and sinners in ‘em Say goodbye to Charles Baby, I’m finally free I’m free, I’m free It won’t die.
