PROGRAM NOTES

But all I held dear, Have gone into the wilderness And I can stretch out a hand to no one.

I am happy to rest

In the black cradle of night, Under the sky’s canopy, Studded with silver.

7. Don’t Cry (Anne Ranasinghe)

Don’t cry

Because the pot is broken It had long been cracked. But gather the shards Dig a deep hole And bury them

And the rain will smoothen

The disturbed earth, The sun will bake, and wind trace

New landmarks

Till finally you won’t remember Even the place...

Danny Boy (Traditional Song)

Considered one of the most prolific jazz pianists of all time, Keith Jarrett (1945-) is especially known for his improvised solo piano concerts. Tonight’s transcription of Danny Boy comes from Jarrett’s 2002 concert in Tokyo

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

Poem by Wallace Stevens

Juliana Hall is one of the most prolific vocal composers living today, with over sixty published song cycles and works of vocal chamber music. Her interest in piano and composition began in childhood, and she studied piano at the College Conservatory of Music and the University of Louisville, and received her MM in Piano from the Yale School of Music before studying composition with Dominick Argento at the University of Minnesota, where she received her first commission in 1987

PROGRAM NOTES

Hall composed Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird in 2020 - a multi-movement song commissioned by, and dedicated to, saxophonist Carrie Koffman The text by Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) is one of the poet’s most famous and discussed works, consisting of thirteen short fragments of verseminiature poems in their own right - that each reference the blackbird through a different perspective Stevens described these verses as thirteen different “sensations”, with the blackbird taking on different roles, and calling up different feelings in the listener. Hall’s music explores each of these fleeting glimpses and perspectives, resulting in a varied, and evocative, setting of this famous poem.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird

Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing

Was which there are three blackbirds II

I was of three minds, Like a tree

In which there are three blackbirds. III

The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds

It was a small part of the pantomime.

IV

A man and a woman Are one.

A man and a woman and a blackbird Are one.

V

I do not know which to preferThe beauty of inflections Or the beauty of innuendos, The blackbird whistling Or just after.

I

PROGRAM NOTES

VI

Icicles filled the long window

With barbaric glass.

The shadow of the blackbird

Crossed it, to and fro.

The mood

Traced in the shadow

An indecipherable cause.

VII

O think men of Haddam, Why do you imagine golden birds?

Do you not see how the blackbird

Walks around the feet

Of the women about you?

VIII

I know noble accents

And lucid, inescapable rhythms; But I know, too, That the blackbird is involved In what I know.

IX

When the blackbird flew out of sight, It marked the edge

Of one of many circles.

X

At the sight of blackbirds

Flying in a green light, Even the bawds of euphony

Would cry out sharply.

XI

He rode over Connecticut

In a glass coach.

Once, a fear pierced him, In that he mistook

The shadow of his equipage For blackbirds.

PROGRAM NOTES

XII

The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying

XIII

It was evening all afternoon

It was snowing

And it was going to snow. The blackbird sat

In the cedar-limbs.

Solos and Duets by Stephen Foster

Stephen Foster is often referred to as one of the first well-known American songwriters, and his tuneful works have remained popular since their publication in the midnineteenth century. He is primarily known for his parlour songs - sentimental songs meant to be performed as home entertainment - and (more controversially for 21st century audiences) popular minstrel songs. He composed over 200 songs, duets, and other vocal music during his short life, many of which - “Oh! Susanna,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair”, and “Beautiful Dreamer”, for example - have become embedded in the American musical and cultural fabric.

Gentle Annie

Thou wilt come no more, gentle Annie, Like a flow’r they spirit did depart;

Thou art gone, alas! Like the many That have bloomed in the summer of my heart.

Chorus

Shall we never more behold thee; Never hear thy winning voice again

When the springtime comes, gentle Annie, When wild flow’rs are scattereed o ’ er the plain?

We have roamed and loved mid the bowers, When thy downy cheeks were in their bloom;

Now I stand alone mid the flowers

While they mingle their perfumes o-er thy tomb.
