Dear Cousin Annie,
I received your kind letter
yesterday and am glad to
hear from you. I am well
excepting a bad cold if I
get along without being sick
any more than that I shall
be very thankful. most every
thing has been trimed in mour
ning for a week here on the
account of Lincolns death. I
hope it will not prolong the
war any if it does not I think
it will soon end. you spoke
about my coresponding with
Mrs Ransom you thought about
wright when you thought that
I corresponded with her about
as you did. It is rather muddy

here now for it has rained
considerable lately. we expect
to stay here a number of weeks

for us. It is rather hard
for that Girl that kept the
Post Office but no harder for
her than a good many others
I have seen since this war
commenced but we hope it
is near an end. you rem
ember you promised me your
Picture when I was down
there I have not got any
of of them. I am going to
get some taken when I
get a chance and then I
will Send you one. when I
come down there again it
will be earlier in the
season when it is a little

more pleasent weather but
I may never be down there
again. but if I live and every thing
goes well it will not be
many years before I see
Chenang again but no knowing
what may turn up within a
year or two. There is a good
many Deserters here that have
given up themselves under the
Presidents Proclimation that they
should be Pardoned if they
should give themselves up.
Well Annie there is not mutch

missing portions of the outer circle. The postmark and stamp cancellation are
black ink.
Addressed in black ink to:

edges and moderate foxing on the front and back faces.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to
have been unlined. Embossed, in the upper right hand corners of pages one and
three, with a seal in the shape of a shield containing the words “GEORGE MC

Unedited Transcription
14 October, 1864
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Washington Street Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia
This letter was enclosed in a 5.25” x 2.875” white envelope, with a cancelled
three cent stamp in the upper right corner; postmarked Oct 14 ’64,
ALEXANDRIA, VA. The postmark is 1 3/16” in diameter and overlays the
stamp. The postmark is missing most of the ‘64’ and some of the letters are
smeared. The stamp cancellation also overlays the stamp and consists of four
concentric circles, the largest is 3/4” in diameter and the smallest is 3/16” in
diameter and is stamped partly off the envelope. The postmark and stamp
cancellation are black ink.
Addressed in black ink to:
Miss Annie Wilcox
Smyrna
Shenango Co
N.Y
The envelope was opened by cutting the right side. Slight foxing along the edges
and very slight foxing on the front face, the back face has moderately foxing.
There is part of a black stamp cancellation in the upper left corner of the back,
probably from the another letter.
Four pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in black ink on blue lined stationery paper, page four appears to
have been unlined. Embossed, in the upper right hand corners of pages one and
three, with a seal in the shape of a oval containing the word “PARIS” and
surrounded by filigree. Watermarked with ten horizontal lines. Ink appears
unfaded. Slight foxing, most evident along the single vertical crease and on page
four. There are three creases: one vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 5”
x 2.875”.

Unedited Transcription
24 January, 1865
William S. Pike to Anna Wilcox
Washington Street Hospital, Alexandria, Virginia
This letter was enclosed in a 5.[25]” x 3” white envelope, with a cancelled three
cent stamp in the upper left corner; postmarked Jan 24, ALEXANDRIA, VA.
The postmark is 15/16” in diameter and overlays the stamp. The stamp
cancellation consists of four concentric circles, the largest is 3/4” in diameter and
the smallest is 3/16” in diameter. The postmark and stamp cancellation are black
ink.
Addressed in blue ink to:
Miss Annie Wilcox
Smyrna
Chenango C[o]
N.Y.
The envelope was opened by tearing off the right side. The tear removed the ‘o’
from ‘Chenango Co.’ Very slight foxing along the edges. The envelope is very
yellowed. This is a light tan stain, probably water, along the top edge of the
envelope, above the cancellation.
Three pages.
One 8” x 10” sheet folded to form four 5” x 8” pages.
Written in blue ink on unlined stationery paper. Ink appears unfaded.
Very slight foxing. There is one small (&lt;1/16”) hole where the lower of the two
horizontal creases crosses the single vertical crease. There are three creases: one
vertical and two horizontal. Folded size is 5” x 2.875”.

80  PROGRAM NOTES  05
When Schumann attempted a work on the scale of Schubert’s Winterreise, it
was indeed during his single year, 1840, of extraordinary productivity and long­
delayed marriage to Clara Wieck. The Dichterliebe (“Poet’s Love”) sets 16 works
from the larger collection of Heinrich Heine (1 797­1 856) entitled Lyrisches
Intermezzo (“Lyrical Intermezzo”), poems in which Heine muses upon love and
rejection.
The cycle opens with a feint to Springtime, but its harmonic ambiguity betrays
the course to come: Romantic longing gives way to rejection about midway (in
the famous “Ich grolle nicht”), and then to greater and greater bitterness and
disillusion. By evening’s end, Schumann’s protagonist has jettisoned all  of his
hopes and dreams in a great coﬀin, and perhaps to heal some of the
accumulated suﬀering in the great cycle, ﬁnal “word” is given to the pianist, in
an extended and lyrical postlude

80 TRANSLA TIONS
I m  Frihling
ln Spring
Poetry by
Ernst Konrad Friedrich Schulze
Quietly I sit on the hill’s slope,
The sky i s so clear;
a breeze plays in the green valley
where I was at Spring’s ﬁrst sunbeam

once ­ ah, I was so happy;

Where I walked at her side,
So intimate and so close,
and deep in the dark rocky spring

was the beautiful sky, blue and bright;
and I saw her in the sky.
Look how colorful Spring already
looks out from bud and blossom!
Not every blossom is the same for me:
I like best to pick from the branch
from which she picked hers.

For all is as it was back then:
the ﬂowers, the ﬁeld;
the sun does not shine less brightly,
nor does the stream reﬂect any less
charmingly
the blue image of the sky.
The only things that change are will and
illusion:
Joys and quarrels alternate,
the happiness of love ﬂies past

and only the love remains ­
The love and, ah, the sorrow.

Oh, if only I were a little bird,
there on the meadow’s slope ~
then I would remain here on these
branches
and sing a sweet song about her
the whole summer long.

Flittenreicher Ebro
Surging River Ebro,
Blossoming banks,

All you green pastures
And forest shadows
Ask my beloved
Who dwells among you
lf in her happiness
She thinks of me.
And you dewy pearls,
Who in the rosy dawn
Adorn the green grass
With many bright colours ­
Ask my beloved,
When she breathes the cool air,
I f in her happiness
She thinks of me.
You leafy poplars.
Shimmering paths,
Where with light tread
My girl roams »
When she meets you,
Ask her, ask her

I f in her happiness
She thinks of me.
You swarming birds,

Who greet the sunrise
With ﬂute­like Songs­

Ask my beloved,
The ﬂower of this shore,
I f  in her happiness
She thinks of me.

Die Post
The Mail­Coach
Poetry by Wilhelm Muller
A posthorn sounds from the street.
What is it that makes you leap so,
7
My heart? 
The post brings no letter for you.
Why do you surge, then, so wonderfully,
My heart?
And now the post comes from the town

Where once I had a true beloved,
My heart!
Do  you want to look out

And ask how things are back there,
7
My heart? 

�An eine Aeolsharfe

To an Aeolian Harp

Poetry by Eduard Morilte
Leaning up against the ivyooveted wall
Of this old terrace,
You, an air­borne muse,
A lute­melody full of mystery,
Begin,
Begin again,
Your melodious lament!
You come, winds, from far away,
Ah! from the boy
Who was so dear to me,
From his hill so freshly green.
On your way, streaking over spring

blossoms
Saturated with sweet scents,

How sweetly, how sweetly you besiege my
heart!
You rustle the strings here.

Drawn by harmonious melancholy,
Growing louder in the pull of my longing,
And then dying down again.
But all at once.

The wind blows violently
And a lovely cry of the harp
Echoes, to my sweet terror.
The sudden stirring of my soul,
And here, the ample rose shakes and
strews
All its pemls at my feet!

Mausfallen­Spruehlein

Mousetrap Incantation
poetry by Eduard Mérike
(The child goes three times around the
trap, and says:)

Little guests, little house,
Dear Miss or Mister Mouse,
just boldly present yourself
tonight in the moonlight!

But shut the door right behind you,
7
do you hear? 
And be careful of your tail!
After supper we will sing,
After supper we will jump
and do a little dance;
Witt win!
My old cat will probably dance with us.

6.  I m  Rhein, im heiligen Strome
in the Rhine. in the holy stream,

poetry by

l .  I m  wunderschonen Mount Mai

with its great cathedral,

Mignon: Do  you know the Land?

Johann Wolfgang wn  Goethe
Do you know the land where lemon trees
blossom;
where golden oranges glow amid dark
leaves?
A gentle wind blows from the blue sky,
the myrtle stands silent, the laurel tall:

Do you know it? There, O there
1 would go with you, my beloved!

7 Its roof rests on
Do you know the house? 
pillars,  the hall gleams, the chamber
shimmers,  and marble statues stand and
gaze at me:  what have they done to you,
poor child?
7
Do  you know it? 
There. O there,
I would go with you. my protector!

Do you know the mountain and its
clouded path.’
The mule seeks its way through the mist,
in caves lives the ancient brood of dragons,
The rock falls steeply, and over it the
torrent.
Do you know it?  There. There  leads our
way!
O father, let us go!

In the wonderquy fair month of May,
as all the ﬂower­buds burst,
then in my heart love arose.
In the wonderfully fair month of May,
as all the birds were singing,
then [ confessed to her
my yearning and longing.

2. Aus meinen Trinen sprieﬂen
From my tears spring
many blooming ﬂowers forth,
and my sighs become
a nightingale choir,
and if you have love for me, child.
I ’ll  give you all the ﬂowers,

and before your window shall sound
the song of the nightingale.

34  Die Rose. die Lilie

The rose, the lily, the dove, the sun,
I once loved them all in love’s bliss.
I love them no more, I love only
the small, the ﬁne, the pure, the one;
she herself. source of all love,
is rose and lily and dove and sun.
4.  Wenn ich indeine Augen seh’
When I look into your eyes.
then vanish all my sorrow and pain!
Ah, but when I kiss your mouth,
then I will be wholly and completely
healthy.
When I lean on your breast,
I am overcome with heavenly delight,
ah. but when you say, “I love you!“
then I must weep bitterly.
5.  Ich will  meine Seele tauchen
I want to plunge my soul
into the chalice of the lily;
the lily shall resoundingly exhale
a song of my beloved.

The song shall quiver and tremble,
like the kiss from her mouth,
that she once gave me
in a wonderfully sweet hour!

there is mirrored in the waves,

the great holy city of Cologne.

In the cathedral, there hangs a pa inting
painted on guilded leather;
in the confusion of my life

it has shown kindly down upon me.

Flowers and cherubs ﬂoat
about our dear Lady,
the eyes, the lips, the little cheeks,
they match my beloved’s exactly.

7.  Ich grolle nicht
I bear no grudge, even as my hea rt is

breaking.
eternally lost love! I bear no grudge.
Even though you shine in diamond
splendor.

there falls no light into your heart’s night,

that I’ve known for a long time.
I bear no grudge, even as my hea rt is
breaking.
I saw you, truly, in my dreams,
and saw the night in your heart’s cavity,
and saw the serpent that feeds on your
heart,
I saw, my love, how very miserable you are.

I bear no grudge.

8.  Und wuBten’s die Blumen
And if they knew it, the blooms, the little
ones,
how deeply wounded my heart is,
they would weep with me
to heal my pain.
And if they knew it, the nightingales,
how I am so sad and sick,
they would merrily unleash
refreshing song.
And if they knew my pain,
the golden little stars,
they would descend from their heights
and would comfort me.
All of them cannot know it,
only one knows my pain,

she herself has indeed torn,
torn up my heart.

�13. Ich hab’ im Trau m geweinet
I have in my dreams wept,
l dreamed you lay in  your grave.
I woke up and the tears
still ﬂowed down from my cheeks.

15. Aus alten e r che nwi n kt es
From old fairy­tales it beckons
to me with a white hand,

There is a ringing and roaring
of drums and pipes
amidst it sobbing and moaning
are dear little angels.

I have in my dreams wept,
1 dreamed you forsook me.
I woke up and l wept

where colorful ﬂowers bloom
in the golden twilight,

10.  Hor’ ich das Liedchen klingen
I hear the little song sounding
that my beloved once sang,

I have in my dreams wept,

9.  Das ist ein Flbten u nd Geigen
There is a ﬂuting and ﬁddling,
and trumpets blasting in.

Surely, there dancing the wedding dance
is my dearest beloved.

and my heart wants to shatter
from savage pain’s pressure.

I am driven by a dar k longing
up to the wooded heights,
there is dissolved in tears
my supremely great pain.

I I. Ein Ringling liebt ein Madchen

A young man loves a girl,
who has chosen another man,
the other loves yet a nother
and has gotten married to her.

The girl takes out of resentment
the ﬁrst, best man
who crosses her path;
the young man is badly oﬀ.
It is an old story
but remains eternally new.
and for him to whom i t has just happened
it breaks his heart in two.
1 2.  Am leuchtenden So m mermorgen
On a shining summer morning
I go about in the garden.
The ﬂowers are whispering and speaking,
I however wander silently.
The ﬂowers are whispering and speaking,
and look sympathetically at me:
“Do not be angry wi th our sister,
you sad, pale man.”

for a long time and bitterly.

there it sings and there it resounds
of a magic land,

and sweetly, fragrantly glow
with a bridelike face.
And green trees sing

I dreamed you still were good to me.
I woke up, and still  now
streams my ﬂood of tears.

primeval melodies,

I4. Allnichtlich int Traume
Every night in my dreams l see you,
and see your friendly greeting,
and loudly crying out, I throw myself
at your sweet feet.

And misty images rise
indeed forth from the earth,
and dance airy reels
in fantastic chorus.
And blue sparks burn
on every leaf and twig,
and red lights run
in crazy, hazy rings.

You look at me wistfully
and shake your blond little head;
from your eyes steal forth
little pearly teardrops.
You say to me secre tly a soft word,
and give me a garland of cypress.
I wake up, and the garland is gone,

and the word I have forgotten.

the breezes secretly sound
and birds warble in them.

And loud springs burst
out of wild marble stone,
and oddly in the brooks

shine forth the reﬂections.

Ah! If I could enter there
and there gladden my heart,
and have all anguish taken away,
and be free and blessed!
Oh, that land of bliss,
I see it often in drea ms,

but come the morning sun,

and it melts away lik e mere froth.

16.  Die alten, bosen Lieder
The old. angry songs,

the dreams angry and nasty,
let us now bury them,
fetch a great coﬀin.

In it [ will lay very many things,
though I shall not yet say what.
The coﬀin must be even larger
than the Heidelberg  Tun.

And fetch a death­bier,
of boards ﬁrm and thick,
they also must be even longer
than Mainz’s great bridge.
And fetch me also twelve giants,
who m ust be yet mightier
than mighty St. Christopher

in the Cathedral of Cologne on the Rhine.
They shall carry the coﬀin away,
and sink it down into the sea,
for such a great coﬀin

deserves a great grave.

How could the coﬀin
be so large and heavy!
I also sank my love
with my pain in it.

The performance of compositions based on classical Persian music is made
possible through the generous support of the Ali  Akbari Fund for Ne w  Persian

Music.

Lon tan o  Ensemble ’s  impact  on  the  perception  of  new  music  has been
profound  and  enduring.  Since  its  inception  in  1976  by conductor/composer
Odaline de la Martinez and ﬂautist Ingrid Culliford, Lontano has established an

Lontano commissions, produces, performs and records with the primary aim of
bringing to the fore the work of contemporary British and American composers,
women composers and Latin American classioal repertoire. The ensemble’s sphere
of activity  includes  contemporary  opera,  music  theatre,  concerts,  workshops,
education projects, tours, broadcasts and recordings. Performances feature some
o f the most noted,  inventive and radical names in  contemporary composition

including Judith Weir, Martin Burler, Roberto Sierra, Errollyn Wallen, Nicola le
Fanu, Peter Sculthorpe, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Lindsay Cooper, John

the London Festival of American Music, Lontano’s Anniversary  Series, and a
residency in Argentina sponsored by the British Council. This was followed by the

ensembles  to  form  its  own
  record  company  when  in 
199 2  it established  the
LORELT label. Now with a c
atalogue of 39 discs, LORELT 
features soloists as
well  as  other  ensembles  and
  is  noted  for  its  archive  of 
important  and  often
neglected  compositions.  Lon
tano also  records  for  numero
us  other  companies
including Albany Records (US
A), Da Ca

po (Denmark) and Metier Reco
rds (UK).

An education and community
 programme is integral to Lont
ano’s performing
activity. The ensemble under
takes a diverse range of proje
cts  involving a broad
spectru m of ages, cultures and 
social backgrounds. In 2002 Lo
ntano was invited
to become ensemble­in­residenc
e at Kings College, London Un
iversity. Here. they
interact  with  young  com
posers  oﬀering  unparallele
d  opportu nity  for
compositions  to  be  rehearsed 
and  performed  by  profession
al  musicians.  This
work is  now c entral to the 
curriculum. A t the same  tim
e, Lontano  are also very
involved  in  educational  and
  com munity  work  in  their 
borough  of  Waltha m
Forest, London. Projects like
 If Waltlmnutow Market Could
 Sing, Unheard Voices, In
Praise of  Our  Families and V
oices of  Youth, involving both
 paren ts and  children are
making  a  diﬀerence  in  a 
highly  cul turally  diverse  com
munity.  Under  the
sponsorship of the British C
ouncil Lon tano ra n worksho
ps in Macedonia ­  with
over 100 newly graduated hig
h school studenm from the new
ly formed republic.
And more recently they have
 worked on a project linking
 the Tango wi th African
inﬂuence  in Argentina  ­  with
 several primary,  secondary 
and tertiary  school
students  in Buenos  Aires  ­ 
an  experience  that  deeply  tou
ched  all  of  those
involved.  In  the  autum n a
nd  win ter  of  201 1­2012, w
ith  a gran t  from Youth
Music,  Lontano  worked 
in   Southwark  and  Greenw
ich   boroughs  with  an
education project titled Connec
tions. The project featured the cu
lture and music of
Roma, Gypsy and  Traveller 
communities residing in  tho
se boroughs. A similar
project took place in  the Londo
n Borough of Redbridge from
 May 2012 to April
20 13. Most recently, Lontano
 has been awarded a three­year
 grant from the Ci ty
Bridge Trus t in  support of t
heir educational and  commu
nity work.

Op. 4 7 ­  Richard Hugunine
This three­movement piece expl
ores the turtural and ti mbral pos
sibilities available
in a Pierrot Ensemble.  The far
away place of the title is anywh
ere and nowhere.
The musical gestures of each 
movement are memory artifa
cts, both precious and
painful. While the composer po
sits no narrative for this work, 
he encourages each
listener  to crea te  his  or  her 
own  reminiscences  ­  fantasies, 
perhaps, of  “what
might have been,” or, betrer, “w
hat might yet be.“

Based on a text by the Persi

Fading  Paraml­ Robert Durante

A short piece written in  a fre
e ﬂ owing form that gradually
 becomes more intense
until a collec tive sigh at the e
nd, “Fading Parasol” freq uen
tly switches between a
relaxed somber  tone and  a m
ore  rigid aggressive  one.  The
 work  is meant  to
conjure an image of fading bea
uty in the world around us.

Too Close to the Sun  ­ Daniel R
omberger
Inspired loosely  by images of 
ﬂight and the physical sensatio
n of a cool, re freshing
breeze while jogging, ‘ Too  Clo
se to the Sun” embraces the
 joy of motion both
energe tically and somewhat n
aively. Although its title  refers 
to the story o f Icarus,
this piece connects to the G
reek myth viscerally and a tmo
spherically rather than
progra mmatically. With a li
ghthea rted airiness in mind,
 the
 listener is invited to
interpre t  “Too Close to  the
 Su n”  in his or  her own w
ay or simply to enjoy the
mumble musical surface as is.

�I’m NotaMm’KevinTruxx
This is the opening aria  to an in­the­works opera called Bullhead. The opera is a
ﬁctional retelling of the USS Bullhead, a World War II Navy submarine, on her
ﬁnal patrol in the Paciﬁc. The beginning of the opera takes place in the port city
of Fremantle in Western Australia.  The curtain opens to a marine clock with
around ﬁfty service men conversing and moving freely between the dock and the
deck of the submarine.  The entire side of the USS Bullhead is visible, taking up
the complete width of the stage. The men fall silent as the commander of the
submarine base, Admiral Fife, is introduced and begins his speech, “I’m Not a
Man.”

Red Cedar ­ Charles Shadle

My  piece  Red  Cedar seeks to celebrate Junipenu  virginiana,  a familiar evergreen
conifer widely distributed throughout eastern and central North America. As the
Latin name indicates,  the  tree is  not in fact a Cedar, but rather a Juniper. Of
medium height, it is notable for scale­like leaves and cones that resemble armored
Blueberries. These “berries ” are used to ﬂavor gin. The wood of the Red Cedar is
highly aromatic, and it is quite combustible. In  the past, when wild ﬁres were
largely le ft unchecked, its populations were relatively contained. Now it is often
considered an invasive (if native) pest, spreading rapidly, especially in areas with
poor or disturbed soil. Consequently it is much reviled by stockmen and farmers.
Many of us are somewhat allergic to its touch, and quite allergic to its pollen.
In  spite  of  these  less  appealing  qualities  I  ﬁnd  the  Red  Cedar  remarkably
beautiful, The normally grey­green foliage takes on a lovely umber cast in  winter.
and it has a ﬂame­like upright growth pattern that adds a distinctly formal note to
the rural landscape. Where I  come from in Oklahoma, it is often the ﬁrst, and
sometimes  only,  indication of the presence  of a  rural graveyard.  This seems
appropriate, as there is a kind of monumental dignity about the long~lived tree.
Red  Cedar  is  essentially a movement  in  traditional ternary  scherzo  form.  The
opening  tempo marking is Allegro fragile (Fast, brittle). Consciously “American”
syncopated accentual patterns pervade music that is–at least for me–quite prickly.
The melodic character of the material strikes me  as  resembling highly stylized
birdsong. Indeed, a memory of walking through a grove of cedars in which a ﬂock
of the generally solitary Red Bird (Cardinals cardinals) had gathered provided the
initial impetus  for  the piece.  After  a  less  frenetic  Trio  (Rustico)  the  opening
material returns, though new musical ideas begin to substitute for  the original
ones. Some of these ideas are clearly developmental, but a hymn­like music takes
on ever­greater prominence. Red  Cedar concludes quietly and solemnly : Scherzo
has become Elegy.

Real Conan­yr Daniel Thomas Davis
Growing up in the rural American South, l’d occasionally hear the phrase “real
country ” as a way of identi fying people ­  sometimes even my people, sometimes
even me. I t didn’t so much as describe a person’s profession or place of residence
but rather something more qualitative ­  a characteristic walk or stride, a peculiar
taste in food or conversation, and above all  else, a richly accented voice thick with
dialect and diphthong. I t  was something inside the body that just happened to
make its way out somehow.
It’s  that  something  within  the  voice  that  prompted  me  to  write  Real Country.
Although l’ve titled each movement after a particular old­time country or gospel
singer, I’m not really aiming to imitate any of them here ­  nor do I lay claim to
anything resembling an “authentic” or “real” country style. First and foremost,
this piece is a purely instrumental response, prompted by my listening over and
over again, to a handful of special singers, all the while wondering and imagining

�­  what sort of music do these voices invite? What idiosyncrasies and ornaments
might I  excavate  from  these old, strange and  weird  worlds’ And  how might  I
reimagine them in my own musical landscape?
There are,  to be sure, a nu mber of  tunes here,  too ­  some  traditional ballads,
some my own creation, others that fall in  between. Some might recall the high­
lonesom e lament of the Appalachian murd er ballad , others the ecsta tic holler ing

of low­church gospel, and  yet  others  the syrupy lilt of  old­time  country’s jilted
lovers. Throughout it all, I think of these melodies as places to wander ­  pathways
and byways mostly ­  each one traveled and populated by the pecu liar, spu ttering,
plain and joyful voices of this other country ­  my coun try.
