Late Victorians Notes by MARK ADAMO I could not write. I had been asked to write: the project was to be a set of songs for mezzo-soprano. But I could not write. We—I and thirty other people from my church, an ad-hoc hospice—had just buried Bob, a man we hardly knew until he fell ill with AIDS. And Don, whom I had just directed in an opera, was failing. The thing that seemed unacceptable to me was how ordinary this was all becoming. “We have grown accustomed to figures disappearing from the landscape. Does this not lead us to

interrogate the landscape?”

—Richard Rodriguez, “Late Victorians” The only thing I want to do,” I told Michael Patterson, “is set this article in Harper’s.” In October of nineteen ninety-one, Richard Rodriguez wrote a memoir of San Francisco in the first years of the plague. A central image was the Victorian house: those old Victorians that waves of San Franciscans had reclaimed, had refurbished, and were now leaving empty as AIDS swept the city. The once-haunted houses were becoming haunted once again. The essay was beautiful. But it was too long: too much. I was as resistant to the idea as I was drawn to it. I didn’t want to write this experience. I didn’t recall choosing to witness it. I needed to write this song cycle, and I could not. * I reread Camille Paglia’s Sexual Personae, particularly its chapter on Emily Dickinson. Paglia’s take on Dickinson was violently different from anything I’d read before. For the first time I saw an icy glee, a perverse refusal to look away, in a quatrain like Ruin is formal, devil’s work Consecutive and slow; Fall in an instant no man did; Slipping is crash’s law. That season The Washington Post asked me to review the National Chamber Orchestra’s performance of a famed Haydn symphony, the “Farewell.” In it, Haydn had incorporated a small staging joke. He meant to remind his patron prince that the musicians he was keeping in his country palace very much wanted—and deserved—to return to town. So Haydn wrote a last movement in which, person by person, section by section, the musicians left the stage, leaving only two violinists to carry on the song in a bare forest of music stands. It played as a joke in 1732. But it seemed very different to me now. * I ended up writing something quite else for the mezzo-soprano piece. But another piece—this piece—had found shape. I started sketching it at once. The formal, oblique Rodriguez text would be spoken. Four Dickinson poems, singing everything the Rodriguez would not say, would be sung. And the four movements would be linked by solo cadenzas written for players from each choir of the orchestra, after which they would leave the stage. In its final form, Late Victorians is not unlike the Stations of the Cross. There are still Catholic churches in which you will find twelve friezes, or sculptures, representing Christ’s journey to Calvary and, beyond, to transformation. During Lent, the faithful walk from frieze to frieze; meditate upon the image; and move on to the next. They make a kind of living rosary. The images themselves are static: mere panels. Jesus falls the first time. Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. It is the pilgrim who is dynamic, making the journey from image to image, walking the walk. It is in the heart of the pilgrim that the experience builds. Late Victorians is meant in tribute to the living and in memory of the dead. I owe a debt of gratitude to Sylvia Alimena, to Kent Ashcraft, to James Petosa, and to the men and women of Eclipse Chamber Orchestra. And I dedicate this score to the memories of the thousands of the fallen, particularly to those of Michael Patterson, Bob Williams, Raymond Davila, and Donald Poe.

Late Victorians Music for speaking voice, singing voice, instrumental soloists, and chamber orchestra by Mark Adamo. Text by Richard Rodriguez, from his book Days of Obligation. Poems (indented) by Emily Dickinson. I. VOICE Nineteen eighty-nine. San Francisco toys with the tragic conclusion. Prelude: Orchestra. VOICE I live in a tall Victorian house that has been converted to four apartments: four single men. Inside my bedroom are twin green shutters. They are false shutters, of no function beyond wit. They have the effect of turning my apartment inside out. A few months ago I hired a man to paint the shutters green. I wanted the green shutters of Manet… SINGER The green shutters of Manet…yes… VOICE You know the ones I mean… SINGER Yes, yes, I know the ones you mean…a weathered look, as of verdigris…Manet…Manet…. VOICE For several days the painter labored, rubbing his paints into the wood and then wiping them off again. In this way he rehearsed for me decades of the ravages of weather. SINGER Decades, decades. Yellow enough? Black? Verdigris!

VOICE The painter left one afternoon, saying he would return the next day, leaving behind his tubes, his brushes, his sponges and rags. He never returned. SINGER Is Heaven a physician? They say that He can heal; But posthumous medicine Is unavailable. Is Heaven an exchequeur? They speak of what we owe: But that negotiation I’m not a party to.

Fugato: Winds. Cadenza: Clarinet.

II. VOICE He had been born in South America: he’d grown up in Paris. He’d been everywhere: done everything. He assumed the world. César. César loved everything that ripened in time. Freshmen. Bordeaux. César could fashion liturgy from an artichoke. SINGER Yesterday it was not ready, VOICE …cocking his head, rotating the artichoke in his hand over a pot of cold water. SINGER Tomorrow will be too late. VOICE …Yorick’s skull. SINGER Today it is perfect. VOICE …as he lit the fire beneath the pot. SINGER We will eat it now. VOICE If he’s lucky, he’s got a year, a doctor told me. If not, he’s got two. SINGER Crumbling is not an instant’s act, A fundamental pause; Dilapidation’s processes Are organized decays. ‘T’is first a cobweb on the soul, A cuticle of dust; A borer in the axis An elemental rust. Ruin is formal, devil’s work Consecutive and slow; Fall in an instant no man did. Slipping is crash’s law.

Variation: Orchestra. Cadenza: Violin and Viola.

III. VOICE I stood aloof at Cesar’s memorial service: the kind of party he would enjoy, everybody said. And so, for a time, Cesar lay improperly buried in the conditional: SINGER Would enjoy, everybody said. VOICE …What else could they say? Cesar had no religion beyond aesthetic bravery. What else could they say? SINGER We cover thee, sweet face Not that we tire of thee, But that thyself fatigue of us; VOICE The phone rang. And rang again. Michael. Paul. Adrian: well, what he’d thought were shingles…. SINGER Remember, as thou flee We follow thee until Thou notice us no more; VOICE Brenda. Pat. Connie. Soledad. SINGER And then, reluctant, turn away To con thee o’er and o’er, And blame the scanty love We were content to show, VOICE “Lovingly cared for by the staff of Coming Home Hospice.” SINGER Augmented, sweet, a hundredfold If thou wouldst take it now. Variation: Orchestra. Cadenza: Horn.

IV. Chorale: Orchestra. VOICE Sometimes no family came. Or parents came but left without reconciliation, some preferring to say cancer. SINGER But others came. VOICE But others came. SINGER They walked his dog. They washed his dishes. VOICE Nurses, nuns. The couple from next door. SINGER They washed his dishes. They walked her dog. They bought her groceries. They massaged her poor back. VOICE Co-workers. Strangers. Teen-agers. Pensioners. SINGER They washed his dishes. They wiped his tears. They wiped his ass. They kissed him on his lips, where once there were lips. VOICE And the saints of this city have named listed in the phone book, names I heard called through a microphone one cold Sunday in Advent as I sat in Most Holy Redeemer Church. SINGER Co-workers. Strangers. Teen-agers. Pensioners. They washed his dishes. VOICE A black man in a checkered sports coat. The pink-haired punkess with a jewel in her nose. The gay couple in middle age. SINGER They kissed her on his lips, where once there were lips. They kissed her on his lips. VOICE These know the weight of bodies. SINGER The life we have is very great; The life we are to see Surpasses it because we know It is infinity. But when all space has been beheld And all dominion shown; The smallest human heart’s extent Reduces it to none. VOICE These learned to love what is corruptible, while I, I, I, I shift my tailbone upon the cold, hard pew. Finale: Orchestra.
