in the life” of Eisler began to take shape. I was attracted by the fact that Eisler, although a very distinguished composer, is largely unknown. If fictional, his life story would seem utterly incredible; the fact that, with all its unlikely twists and turns, it’s a true story makes it all the more surprising and strangely exhilarating. And his coruscating self-knowledge deflects any potential sentimentality at his cruel fate. What directorial challenges or surprises emerged as you balanced Eisler’s story with the historical context and its contemporary echoes, as well as language and art? As the narrative began to evolve, the happiest surprise was finding that many of the songs, though all written in Hollywood in the 1940s, applied equally well to Eisler’s later life in communist East Germany. It is something of a liberty to repurpose the songs in this

Displacement is still with us and growing daily—displacement by war, poverty, and increasingly, climate change. The response of many governments is to deliberately breed an atmosphere of fear and contempt for those who can be branded as “not one of us” on grounds of ethnicity, religion, or political views, which is the essence of McCarthyism. Can we really say that fascism or uncontrolled capitalism are merely relics of the twentieth century? And do we not hear contemporary politicians glad, once again, to call themselves socialist, a term that was a death knell for electability only a few years ago? The cycle of history does not stop. Eisler’s life story is mirrored in the lives of countless others today, and it is bracing, salutary, and moving to hear in his songs how relevant his experience remains.

“Condizione imprescindibile,” a tango-influenced song, captures the essence of Musica Nuda. “Dimane” was composed entirely by Spinetti and features him as a singer.
Fun Fact: Magoni and Spinetti first played a concert together when Magoni’s guitarist got sick during a tour through clubs in Tuscany. Magoni asked Spinetti, who was touring with Avion Travel at the time, to cover for the guitarist.

formative impact on his writing.” Jones has been researching using Stanford’s impressive collection of Steinbeck documents, including correspondence with former classmates and professors. Steinbeck studied at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, where he developed an understanding of marine biology and ecology that would inform all of his future works. While in California, Steinbeck also befriended biologist and writer Ed Ricketts, who published his first book, Between Pacific Tides, through the Stanford University Press. Readers will find traces of Ricketts in many of Steinbeck’s works— including in the character of Doc in Cannery Row. “Steinbeck got a very well-rounded education at Stanford,” says Jones. “That allowed him to think deeply about the arts and the sciences, and man’s place in the universe.”

Mumford & Sons expressed gratitude upon accepting the award, and band members elaborated on the power of Steinbeck’s writing. “For me, it’s mostly about the sense of togetherness,” says Ben Lovett, the group’s keyboardist. The themes of communal struggle and perseverance in the face of adversity, which Steinbeck highlighted deftly in his novels, resonate deeply with the group, and it shows.

From about 1916 to 1970, the Great Migration shaped American cities as black citizens fled the segregated laws of the South for cities in the Northeast, Midwest, and West. New York City’s Harlem neighborhood became the epicenter of black intellectual and artistic culture where black artists could define their voices away from the white gaze. The innovation that emerged would inform major US and global arts movements of the 20th century and today.

“Music is something people involuntarily use to bind together. These aren’t songs of the elite. They’re the song of the common man.” —Johnny Howard, The King’s Singers.
The Kings Singers’ Johnny Howard says that songs operate like internal compasses or homing devices in troubled times. “Music is something people involuntarily use to bind together. These aren’t songs of the elite. They’re the song of the common man.” He goes on to compare repertoire in the program to songs sung today by people in Hong Kong who learn vocal music from the internet and join in street protests to sing in unison. “It’s evidence that democracy doesn’t belong to one country or person, it belongs to everyone,” he says. The Kings Singers’ program highlights music from the Protestant Reformation

No one will be dancing, but people will nonetheless be moved by Orlando Consort’s soulful chansons, poems, and sacred music drawn from the brief 19 years of Joan of Arc’s life, long an icon for feminists and others. Grieg selected a cappella works whose tempo and tone resonate in tandem with the black-andwhite silent film’s tight shots, depictions of long-suffering Joan and shouting inquisitors during her infamous trial. After leading the French troops in their defeat of the British occupation forces in response to heavenly visions, Joan was brought before a church court, tortured, and subsequently burned at the stake in 1431. Grieg says, “The voice seems particularly apt for this film: Joan heard voices; the courtroom drama is all about dialogue; the priests try to put words into Joan’s mouth; and the silent film always implies the voice, even if it doesn’t actualize it.” Because proof of tempo or dynamics markings in music of the early fifteenth century is rare, Greig’s selections find leeway. “We don’t take anything ridiculously fast or slow to make it ‘fit’ a scene, preferring on occasion to finish a piece early to make it fit.

During Chanticleer’s annual holiday concert, Gregorian chants and a poem segue into sing-together carols performed in French, Czech, Swedish,
Spanish, German, and English. Music Director William Fred Scott describes “a serious concert” that does not include “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer,” but does provide familiarity. “The end is always a carol you think you know. Even in a Swedish or Czech carol, when people may not know the language, they have a feeling of delight. There’s a lovely warmth, a feeling that we’ve been there before and the story is always a homecoming.” From the ensemble’s gentle “Babe of Bethlehem” to Steven Sametz’s rowdy and raucous “Gaudete” to Spanish villancicos (Christmas carols), the music is either from the Old World or written by composers working in the California missions. “We have three Spanish pieces,” says Scott, “one that is part of our heritage as Californians, one folkish,
