PROGRAM NOTES Kati Agรณcs, Rogue Emoji (2019)

Rogue Emoji is a work for mixed quartet comprising six miniatures. This piece is something new and different for me. Usually I create longer continuities in my music, but this piece is structured in a series of microcosms of roughly equal length, each with its own strong texture and emotion. Each movement works with specific instrumental colour combinations, largely contingent upon changes to the woodwind instrumentation from movement to movement. In addition to flute, the work uses piccolo and alto flute; in addition to B flat Clarinet the smaller, higher E flat clarinet, and the bass clarinet are featured. These six musical/dramatic scenarios flow together with minimal pause to make a single formal/narrative trajectory about 15 minutes in length. The first movement works with repeating patterns scored in vivid colours that texasperformingarts.org

are continuously warped and interrupted, leading to a central arrival and an erosion with Doppler effects. The second movement is a melodrama with a lamenting quality. Its melodic theme is introduced in the clarinet and later picked up by all of the instruments. The third movement is a quick mixed-meter dance embodying pure visceral energy. In this movement I pair the instruments in duets that respond to one another antiphonally. 7

The opening theme keeps returning, altered, and finally goes wild in the second half (“berserk” is the marking in the score). The fourth movement is a meditation made up of solos that grow into cadenzas, showcasing the individual instruments playing alone. In the fifth they are juxtaposed into a lyrical colloquy in which each plays a separate discourse, each in their own world. The sixth movement begins as an obsessive ostinato but is hijacked by a fugue which falls apart, surrendering to a return to the opening movement’s energy: What

was previously interrupted is allowed to fulfill itself. The piece ends in a sense of affirmation, togetherness, and finding one’s individual strength (and the ensemble’s collective resonance) out of chaos.

Carlos Simon,

excerpts from Requiem for the Enslaved (2020) Almost an entire year has passed since I first set foot on the Georgetown University campus as a candidate for professorship in the Performing Arts Department — a hope and dream of my ancestors. Since being hired as an Assistant Professor, I have grown to love the Georgetown University community and culture. It is a community that is steeped in a tradition of excellence and a rich history. In learning of the university’s involvement in slavery, I am deeply grateful for the collective efforts taken to understand and attempt to reconcile its tainted past. Now as a member of the Georgetown University community, I wish to join in the journey of expanding the discussion.

This musical piece honors the men, women, and children owned and sold by the University. Requiem for the Enslaved features music that evoke the spirit of those in captivity featuring the internationally known new music ensemble, the Hub New Music, rapper and spoken word artist, Marco Pavé and trumpeter, Jared Bailey. Using the musical structure of a liturgical mass, Requiem for the Enslaved artistically explores the sacred and historical ideology of the sale of those enslaved by Jesuits by infusing of the music of the Catholic Church and African American Spirituals into an original composition.

a hymn tune, and the play between small, scurrying gossamer chromatic figures and a four-note whole-tone melody, creating a yearning towards a tonal center which is never fully reached. “Refractions” most fully explores the scurrying chromatic character: bursts of deeply suppressed energy, which culminate a terraced series of darkly climactic peaks towards the latter half of the movement. “...in remembrance of...” is lyrical, plaintive, songful, playing with triadic figures

Hannah Lash, The

Nature of Breaking (2020) The Nature of Breaking is a piece in four movements. The movements, titled respectively “Refractions,” “...in remembrance of...” “Time Plays,” and “To Hold, Nearly”, are linked to one another through various thematic and harmonic schemes. Throughout all movements winds the ghost of texasperformingarts.org

related to one another chromatically — melodies whose accompaniments and counterpoints slip away and become other melodic subjects. “Time Plays” takes the whole-tone melody in descent, dancing lightly and rhythmically. Finally, “To Hold, Nearly” addresses many of the musical questions raised in the previous movements and explores them further and in a new light, tragically inclined to reconcile disparate elements.

Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music — composed of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello — is forging new pathways in 21st-century repertoire. The ensemble’s ambitious commissioning projects and “appealing programs” (The New Yorker) celebrate the rich diversity of today’s classical music landscape. In recent seasons, HNM’s performances have been described as 10 texasperformingarts.org

Sep 10–Apr 4

McNay Art Museum San Antonio, TX CO-ORGANIZED BY THE MCNAY ART MUSEUM AND TEXAS PERFORMING ARTS

Six hand-painted, sound-stage backdrops from MGM Studios will “guest star” alongside exquisite artworks from The Tobin Collection of Theatre Arts. The backdrops, on loan from Texas Performing Arts, were created for MGM’s 1968 papal drama, The Shoes of the Fisherman. Nearly discarded, more than 200 backdrops were saved through the 2017 Art Directors Guild’s Backdrop Recovery Project. Texas Performing Arts owns 50 backdrops from Hollywood’s Golden Age of film for use in support of our educational mission.

Building a Bridge with Robots University of Texas at Austin students enrolled in the Performance Robots course will collaborate with AISD Metz-SĂĄnchez Elementary School to design robots that can be controlled remotely via the internet. On top of an already busy virtualclass-filled schedule, Eva Rosenthal, 2nd grade teacher at Metz-SĂĄnchez, enthusiastically agreed to be the robot club sponsor, and developed a STEAM-centered lesson plan for the club.

The elementary students will create initial drawings and stories, and the UT Austin students will bring these robot designs to life in consultation and collaboration with their young design partners. Controllability and expressiveness to tell these robotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stories will guide all automation and fabrication decisions of our UT student team. The robots will make their debut performance in December, with their elementary school

texasperformingarts.org

designers controlling them remotely via the web. This project unleashes creativity in the UT students as well as young learners. In this especially challenging time, we want to explore how simultaneously investing and elevating children and UT studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creativity might support the mental well-being of all ages and inspire all those who watch the collaborative performance. Through this virtual collaboration, building hands-on, IoT (internet of

things) connected projects, our multi-generational community of students will practice artistic expression, design, and storytelling. In these uncharted times, these little robots remind us of the power of collaboration and play, raising the spirits of us all. Follow their work on the Texas Performing Arts Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages.
