In 1868,the twenty­ﬁve year old Edvard Grieg sketched out his only
piano concerto during a restful summer holiday spent with his wife in
Solleréd, Denmark. Its freshness and allusion to Norwegian folk­
melodies made it an instant favorite wi th pianists and the public, although
critics went overboard in their Romantic ascribing of  “Nordic",
“Norwegian", and  “Nature” features, complete with dramatic scenarios
and pantheistic religious programs. No less a ﬁgure than Franz Liszt had
high praise for the work, although Liszt had his own ideas to “improve”
Grieg’s refreshingly transparent orchestration. The opening movement is
dominated by its well­shaped themes ­ the ﬁrst, martial and dramatic, in
the woodwinds and the second, more lyric, introduced by the cello. While
the style nods towards Liszt in its virtuosity (particularly in the brilliant
cadenza), the almost neo­classical form, orchestration and partnership
between solo and orchestra derive more from Mendelssohn and Niels
Gade. In any case, the work’s immense popularity inaugurated the half­
century Golden Age of Scandinavian composition under Grieg, Sibelius,
Carl Nielsen and many more.

Max Bruch’s reputation rest today primarily upon solidly crafted,
wonderfully melodic and formally conservative solo works like the Ko/
Nidrei for Cello, three violin concertos and tonight’s Scottish Fantasy for
Violin and orchestra, with the free use of Scottish melodies (its full title).
Unlike Mendelssohn’s “Scotch” symphony, a more general invocation o f
impressions gained from the composer’s visit, Bruch quotes his sources
carefully and works to respect their natural propensities in his
development.  This third of four movements quotes the song “I’m a­Doun
for Lack O’ Johnnie” in a setting that is at once sweet and sorrowful. The
solo violin leads with a verse before moving into increasingly intricate
and impassioned obbligato counter­melodies, each section set apart by a
plagal cadence in the minor mode. Bruch uses the various registers
masterfully, gradually ascending from the low G and D strings to the
highest and most intense timbre at the climax before settling back to
round out the movement with a ﬁnish in the darkest and fullest bottom
range of the violin.

Now a spry 93, Artie Shaw is regarded by many as the ﬁnest and
most innovative of all jazz clarinetists, a leader of several of the greatest
musical aggregations ever assembled, and one of the most adventurous
and accomplished ﬁgures in American music. Known for big­band hits
like Begin the Beguine and for launching the career of singer Billie
Holiday, Shaw wrote his Concerto for Clarinet in the early 1940s as a
study In combining jazz with conventional large­orchestral forces. The
seven­minute work is more of an extended improvisation on a theme
i

�than a concerto in the accepted sense, but its humor, energy and
originality are pure Artie Shaw.  Beginning with a sumptuous string
introduction wrapped around a New Orleans­style drag street­march, it
moves into a theme­and­variations on boogie­woogie, thence through a
brief cadenza and into a second extended section reminiscent of “jungle
swing", accompanied most of the time only by the drummer. It is among
the most unusual of clarinet solo works, and among the most fun.
Massenet’s superb sensitivity to the emotional state of his
operatic characters found a perfect platform in the French version of
Goethe‘s romantic tragedy Wer ther (The Sorrows of Young Werther)
which premiered in Vienna in 1894. While largely ignored on today’s
operatic stages, Massenet’s work was hugely popular and highly
regarded by Debussy and Saint­Saens for its clarity and emotional power
achieved without the bombast o f Wagnerian drama.  The “letter scene”

(Act 3, scene 1) ﬁnds the heroine Charlotte re­reading Werther’s love
letters and realizing that, while she married another out of familial duty,
she in fact loves Werther, and is bitterly unhappy without him.

* * See Translation, last page
Completed in 1874, Nicolai Rimsky­Korsakov’s Capriccio
Espanol marked the composer’s return to the concertante (alternation of
solo and group sonority) style popular in the Baroque. The composer
began the work as a fantasy for solo violin and orchestra but eventually
distributed the virtuoso passages to all the instruments ­ the work is
replete with solos for almost every instrument of the orchestra, and is
studded with no fewer than ﬁve cadenzas.  So much did he see the work
as a true tutti orchestral showpiece that Rimsky­Korsakov listed every
member of the Moscow Philharmonic who played its premiere as
dedicatees on the title page.  The work is interesting in having ﬁve major
sections, ﬁve variations in its second section and ﬁve instrumental
cadenzas ­ the numerological signiﬁcance is unknown. While n ot
employing radical techniques, the solo passages are without exception
highly challenging and coloristic.  The use of castanets and instructions
for the strings to play chords “alla gitara” help to heighten the Spanish
ﬂavor, and the choice of dance melodies and rhythms provide a platform
for Rimsky­Korsakov, one of history’s ﬁnest masters of orchestration, to
employ his full talents. The result is one of the most exciting works of the
orchestral repertory.

�Translation for Massenet’s We rther, Act Three

Charlotte:
Werther! Werther!
Who could have told me the place
he occupies in my heart today?
Since he went away, despite myself
everything wearies me
and my thoughts are full of him!
These letters! ... 
:
Ah! I read them over incessantly. . ..
With what delight, but also with what

sadness!

I ought to destroy them. . .I cannot!
“I am writing to you from my little room;

A leaden grey December sky
bears down on me like a shroud;

and I am alone, alone, always alone!
Ah, nobody with him! ...
Not a single token of love...

or even pity! God!
How did I ever muster that sad courage
to ordain this exile and this loneliness?
“Children’s happy cries rise up beneath my
window, children’s cries!
And I think of that time, so sweet,
when all your dear little ones used to play
round about us.
They will forget me, perhaps?”
No, Werther, your image
stays alive in their memory
And when you come back. . ..

But ought he to come back?
Ah! this last letter chills and te rriﬁes me!

“You said to me,” ‘At Christmas’,

and I cried: “Never!”
We shall soon know

which of us was telling the truth!
But if  I must not reappear before you
on the appointed day,
do not reproach me, weep for me!
Yes, with those eyes so full of charms
you’ll read these lines again,
you’ll water them with your tears. ..
O Charlotte, and you’ll shudder!”

featured on NPR, Canadian Broadcast Corporation, and Radio Suisse Romande
broadcasts.  The Kansas City Star, in  a review of a concert by Biggers, noted
that his performance demonstrated “authority and eloquence” and stated “were
there more players like this, the organ would be far less a minority interest.”

�PROGRAM NOTES
The Fantasia and Fugue in G­minor (BWV 542) is associated with J.S. Bach’s
audition for the prominent position of organist at the Jacobikirche in Hamburg.
Even though the position was never oﬀered to Bach, it resulted in this celebrated
and famous work.  It is characterized by complete craftsmanship of form and
counterpoint, as well as an astound ing sense of proportion.  The fantasia is free
in form, composed of alternating sections of free improvisational development
and short fugato sections.  It grows in harmonic intensity unt il a ﬁnal series of
ﬂourishes in both the manuals and pedal signal its conclusion.  The fugue, based
on an old Dutch folksong, moto perpetuo (“perpetual motion”) in style, is highly
rhythmic, which adds to the excitement and interest of the work.

f

followed by a dramatic toccata, th e fugue is actually a double fugue :  the two

Craig Phillips, one of the ﬁnest young composers writing for organ, is Music
Associate at All­Saints Episcopal  Church, Beverly Hills, California, where he
also serves as composer/artist­in­residence for the active music program of that
parish.  Tribute:  A Lullaby for Organ was commissioned by concert organist
David Craighead to honor Karen McFarlane, his manager, on the occasion of a
celebration of her career in conce rt management.  It is a lovely, gentle work,
melodic in every way, featuring the clarinet stop on the organ.

subjects are combined during the course of a gradual crescendo which brings the
work to a thrilling conclusion.
Duruﬂé's  music  remains  a  testimony  to  artistic  inspiration,  and  is  included
among the ﬁnest works o f the French repertoire.  It is unfortunate that Duruﬂé

published so little of his music, for the great mastery of detail and control of the
musical elements that he exercised in  his writings evince a profound spiritual

and musical inspiration that is rare in contemporary musical composit ion.

Song without Words, written in 2002 as an elegy by Phillips “to the memory of
my beloved  brother  Brooks Phillips” who died suddenly in  December of the
previous  year,  articulates  what  the  poet  William  Wordsworth  once  termed
“thoughts  that  do  often  lie  too  deep  for  tears”.  In  this  work,  Phillips  has
produced  a  work  of  great  intensity,  soulfulness  and  expression,  set  for  the
unusual combination of organ and violoncello.  Although both compositions are
brief examples among  Phillip’s  many compositions, the essence of humanity
and of “remembering” shines forth in both.
The works of Maurice Duruﬂ¢, tho ugh few in number (his complete o pus listing
contains only thirteen works), are distinguished by their compositional quality
and musical intensity.  Duruﬂé's works for organ are amo ng the most important
20th­century contributions to the l iterature o f the instrument, as his Requiem is
one of the most important choral works o f the century.  Duruﬂé's organ music is
distinguished by both melodic  charm and dramatic  intent, and though  these
works contain many technical diﬀiculties for the performer, they also evidence a
great resourcefulness of color and melodic manipulation that often results in an
immediate  appeal  for  the  listener.  Various  prominent  ﬁgures  in  French
composition inﬂuenced Duruﬂé, including Paul Dukas, Louis Viern e, Charles
Toumemire, and especially Claude Debussy, as evidenced in his conception o f
‘musical color'.

Duruﬂé, organist of the Church of St.­Etienne­du­Mont in Paris, wrote only six
organ works, four of which are large in scope.  Prelude and Fugue on the name
of  “Alain  op.7, is the last of the four major o rgan works written by Duruﬂé.  It
was written in 1943 in memory of the French composer Jehan Alain, Duruﬂé’s
friend and  fellow student who was killed  in  World War II.  The work  pays
tribute to Alain by both theme and quotation;  although on the “A’s” in Alain’s
name exist in standard notation, Du ruﬂé arrived at musical equivalents for the L,
I and N by extending the alphabetical scale beyond H (the German B­natural).
Thus,  “Alain”  becomes  the  musical  theme  ADAAF,  which  is  used  as  the
principal motive of both the prelude and fugue.  The last section of the prelude
quotes the theme of Alain’s most famous organ work, Litanies.  The fugue, one
of the ﬁnest eﬀorts in the 20th­cen tury organ literature, is a masterful display of
Duruﬂé’s  contrapuntal  skill.  Set  in  two sections, a  more  somber  ﬁrst  part

Dietrich  Buxtehude  was the  foremost  composer of the  North  German  organ
tradition which, in stylistic terms, directly preceded J.S. Bach ’s compositional
style.  That Bach walked more than 200 miles and spent four months in 1705 to
study  Buxtehude’s  music,  as  well  as  to  observe  the  music­making  in
Buxtehude’s  church,  the  vast  Marienkirche  in  Liibeck,  is  testimony  to
Buxtehude’s fame at that time..  Buxtehude’s compositions are known for their
drama and virtuosity, displaying the colorful tonal contrasts found in the North
German instruments of that time, as well as demonstrating the full pedal range
of the northern­style organ of the Baroque period.
The Praeludium in D­minor was w ritten in the late 1 7th century by Buxtehude
in  typical  praeludium  style :  an  alternation  of  free  passages  emphasizing
virtuosity that  interlock  with  short fugal sections  in  a  more strict  style;  the

1)

inclusion  of  a  section  set  in  the  popular  Italian  durezze  et  ligature  style,
featuring  strong  suspensions  and  dissonances;  and  a  general  emphasis  on
virtuoso pedal  writing.  The total eﬀect is that of a stunning balance between
dramatic content, musical substance, and virtuosity.  In  this work, and in many
other works by Buxtehude, North German organ music reached the apotheosis
of organ style in the mid­Baroque period.

�Buxtehude’s chorale­fantasia on  “How  Brightly Shines the  Morning Star” is
based  upon  a  popular  chorale  of the day, sung during the  Epiphany season
following Christmas.  In this particular work, Buxtehude uses diﬀerent phrases
of the chorale tune in successive sections, creating a succession of contrasting
styles  and  textures  –  a  virtual  sampler  of  fantasia­style  composition.  The
element of contrast is  further heightened by featuring diﬀerent divisions and

sounds within the instrument in opposition, thus heightening the eﬀect created

by the werkprinzip instruments built during the Baroque period, in which each
division of the organ was contained in a separate section of the organ case.  The
tune of Wie schon is well known, and remains a staple in hymnbooks of our day.

sought to also  include complex counterpoint, as demonstrated in his skillfully
written  fugues.  As  a  result  of these  factors,  his  music  tends  to  be  multi­

sectional, highly chromatic, and exceedingly dramatic.

The  Chorale­Fantasy  and Fugue  on  Wie schon  leucht ’ uns  der  Morgenstern
(“How  Brightly  Shines the  Morning  Star”)  belongs  to  a set  of two chorale­
fantasies (Opus 40) published in  1900.  This particular chorale­fantasy consists
of a lengthy free introductory section ("fantasy") followed by a lengthy fugue
using both a contrapuntal subject and the Wie schon chorale theme as the main
sources of compositional material.  It is reported that Reger wrote many of his
larger works as a result of a bet he made with the great German organ virtuoso,
Karl Straube, to see if each successive work Reger wrote would be so diﬀicult
that Straube would be unable to play it.  As a result of their unending wager,
Reger  produced  many  highly  virtuosic  works.  Needless  to  say,  Straube
evidently  won  each  challenge,  for  most of Reger’s compositions still  remain

Though  circled  by  the hosts  on  high,  he  deigned  to  cast  a
pitying eye
upon his helpless creature;

German  Romanticism  in  organ  music  achieved  a high  point  in  the numerous
works of Max  Reger.  For Reger, unlike Liszt or Brahms, organ music was his
chief  compositional  area.  His  entire  organ  output  includes  more  than  220
compositions:  approximately  70  small  chorale­preludes,  many  free  works
including two sonatas, several preludes and fugues, suites, several variations and
fugue sets, several introductions and passacaglias, and seven enormous chorale­
fantasies, including the great Wie schon setting.  In the chorale­fantasies, Reger
merged the virtuoso symphonic style so popular at the end of the Romantic era
with the great German chorale tradition, thus incorporating two highly distinct

�P rogra m Notes

Rachmanioﬀ’s two­piano suites and symphonic dances arc among
the composer ’s major works.  Rachmaninoﬀ was only 20 when the
Suite  No.  1  “Fantaisic  –  ta blea ux ”  Op.  5  was  published.
Dedicated  to  Tchaikovsky,  it  shows  a  very  strong  link  to  that
composer’s lyrical art.  The Suite consists of four brief movements
which  arc  preceded  in  the  score  by  quotations  from
Rachmaninoﬀ’s  favorite  poets:  Lermontov,  Byron, Tyutchev and
Khomyakov.
The ﬁrst movement, the G minor Barcarolle: Allegretto, captures
not  only the serenity of Lermontov ’s lines but also something of
their restrained pathos.

Gondola Song
O cool evening wave
Lap gently under the oars of the gondola
...that song again! and again the sound of the guitar!
...in the distance, now melancholy, now happy,
Was heard the sound of the old barcarolle:
“The  gondola  glides  through  the  water,  and  time  ﬂies
through love;
The waters become smooth again and passion will  rise no
more.”
Mikhail Lermontov (1814­1841)

The  second  movement, La  mit...L’ amour:  Adagio sostenuto (A
Night  For  Love),  inspired  by  Byron ’s  lines,  is  an  extended
dialogue which begins with suggestions of bird song, then rises to
a  central  climax  and  retu rns  to  the  tranquility  from  which  it
emerged.
Night.....Love
It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale’s high note is heard;

i

It  is the hour when lover’s vows
Seem sweet in every whisper’d word;
And gentle winds, and waters near,
Make music to the lonely ear.
Lord Byron (1 788­1824)
The  next,  Les  larmes  (Tears),  is  the  most  characteristic  and
forward­looking movement of agonized melancholy.

Tea rs
Human tears, O human tears!
You ﬂow both early and late –
You ﬂow unknown, you ﬂow unseen
Inexhaustible, innumerable, ­
You ﬂow like torrents of rain
In the depths o f an autumn night.
Fyodr Tyutchev (1803­1873)
The ﬁnale, Paques: Allegro maestoso (Russian Easter) is entirely
outgoing and theatrical, with the Kremlin bells tolling exuberantly
from the opening bar to the last.

Easter

The mighty peal rang out over the earth,
And all the air, moaning, shuddered and groaned.
Melodious, silver thunderings
Told the news of the holy triumph
Alexei Khomyakov (1804­1860)
The Suite No. 2, Op. 1 7, composed years later, was performed by
the  composer  and  his  friend  Alexander  Siloti  in  Moscow  in
November  1901.  The Suite’s ﬁrst movement, Introduction:  Alla
Marcia, is full of energy and conﬁdence, a tour de force in rhythm

Eugene Bozza (1905­1991), longtime professor of
composition at the Paris Conservatoire de Musique, was a
musician of rare ability who won the Paris Conservatory’s coveted
Premier Prix in Violin, Conducting and Composition. One of a
string of virtuosic wind solos,  his Bucolique (1949) is d edicated to
the Conservatory’s then­professor of Clarinet Ulysse Delécluse
and was used as that yea r’s competition piece.  Its mixture of rural
impressionism reminiscent of Honegger’s Pastorale d’Ete with
Bozza’s personal interest in oriental and Indian scale­forms suﬀuse
one of the most technically diﬀicult short works ever written for

the clarinet.

As a composer who divided his time between Argentina
and New York, Astor Piazzolla worked throughout a long career to
blend the unique timbres and sensuous rhythms of the traditional
tango with formal and harmonic aspects of modern  jazz.  As an
accomplished bandoneon player, Piazzolla worked to bring his
instrument into acceptance in classical orchestral and chamber
music circles, and its special tone color and ﬁgurations are
discernible just below the surface of most of his works.  Café 1930
forms the second movem ent of his suite Hie History of the Tango

originally published for G uitar and Flute. The work is highly

�evocative, reminiscent of the smoky rooms and smoldering
passions in which the doomed romances of the ﬁ lm noir era played
out as much in life as in the cinema. 
g
The relatively recent entrance of classical Western music
into the cultural life of the Arab world is matched by the paucity of
works by Arab composers available in the West. At present, Cairo
probably has the most active center of musical interchange
between European and Arabic musical cultures.  Sudanese by
birth, Ali Osman trained in Cairo as a student of Gamal Abdel–
Rahim and Awatif Abdel­Karim. In the composer’s words, “The
Mawal is a free song part normally sung before the main song by
Arab singers and it has love lyrics, and sometimes folkloric
wisdoms.” The form makes use of complex meters (10/8 and 7/8
time) and a sinuous melodic line which includes use of sikha,
expressive quarter­tones outside Western scale­forms,  and ﬁnally,

music is earnest and unpretentious in character. His pieces tend to

be short because his music is pure substance ­­ nothing but the

aesthetic basics: distinctive motifs wo ven into clear, transparent

textures, developed logically but imaginatively into concise,
satisfying, compelling formal entities. The result is a friendly

modernism­­tonal but not reactionary.”  For music with such taut
construction, Muczynski manages to  evoke a surprising amount of

expression, intensity ­ and (in the “bluesy” third movement) fun.

cadenza­improvisation sections (faqgasim) of a quasi­

Hungarian composer Frigyes Hidas completed his musical
education at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest. Hidas enjoyed
a distinguished career as music director of the National Theatre
(1951 ­ 1966) and between 1974 and 1979 at the municipal
Operetta Theatre, at which time he retired to devote himself full­
time to composition. Hidas has a large body of works spanning
almost every genre of music but is known primarily in the U.S. for
his excellent wind chamber music. A self­professed “Post–
Romantic,” Hidas’ music shows the strong residual inﬂuences of
Kodaly and Bartok while incorporating elements of modernist and
jazz rhythms. The small Fantasie fro m 1965 is built from its
opening motive of a melodic fourth and a second, moving through

improvisational nature.

Born in Calcutta to an Anglo­Indian father and Indian
mother, John Mayer became the ﬁrst composer to merge Indian
music with Western forms in this evening’s Raga Music of 1952.
Mayer was trained in both Indian and Western violin by teachers
including Melhi Mehta, the father of conductor Zubin Mehta prior
to joining London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in 1958. Eight
years later, he formed one of the earliest “world­music” crossover
ensembles, Indo­Jazz Fusions, and as Professor of Composition at
the Birmingham Conservatory wrote music for musicians as varied
as ﬂutist James Galway, jazz saxophonist Carlos Lopez­Real and
the rock group Emerson, Lake and Palmer. A pioneering piece of
“world music,” Raga Music uses approximated Indian scale­forms

a series o f variations and transformations into a central recitative

and recapitulation.

(ragas) in short pieces appropriate to  the varying seasons and times

of day.

Robert Muczynski steadily built a reputation as one of America’s
leading composers as Professor of Composition at the University
of Arizona in Tucson. A formidable pianist, Muczynski composed
most of his early works for piano, but garnered critical acclaim
with his 1961 Sonata for Flute and Piano. Tonight ’s Fantasy Trio
was premiered in 1969 and revised in 1989. Its style is well
summed up by his publisher, Theodore Presser: “Muczynski’s

“Unity was written in response t o a commission from the

4

o)

University of Houston’s Aura Contem porary Music Ensemble. The
original instrumentation was for Alto Sax, Viola, and Piano. This
version is reworked for Alto Sax, Clarinet, and Piano. The title is a
reﬂection on an observation that the main themes from the middle
section rely not on simply one instrument playing a theme and the
others accompanying, but rather that all three instruments together
make up the theme. Compare this to the ﬁrst movement of

�Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C­major (K. 333), which has a melody
that is recognizable whether the accompaniment is played or not.
In Unity, there is a sense of something missing when the other
instruments are not playing. This is emphasized by the passages in
which the viola is playing alone, or later where the sax plays a
“cadenza” before the return of the ﬁrst theme of the B section.”

transformations from three favorite Ame rican songs. The ﬁrst

draws on Jascha Heifetz’s setting of It Ain ‘t Necessarily So from
the 1935 score to Porgy and Bess. My memories of pops­concert
performances backing the immortal Cab Calloway inform my
arrangement, an homage to the more­than­slightly naughty tongue­
in­cheek interpretation of the role of Sportin’ Life.
We follow with the young Samuel Barber’s simply
celestial 1938 setting of James Agee’s Sure On This Shining Night.
Barber’s light touch in mixing modern formal and harmonic
elements with a gift for ravishing melody makes him one of the
20th­century’s most emotionally satisfying composers.
To close, we oﬀer my own transcription of Bernstein’s
coloratura aria for Cunegonde from Candide. A smiling yet satiric
take on Gounod’s Flower Song from Faust, Bernstein’s “good­
news, bad­news” life of a courtesan echoes the composer’s own
career ­­ an ceaseless, indefatigable revel for love of music and
life.

�PROGRAM NOTES
Dear Friends:
Welcome to another afternoon of song.  For those of you who have never
attended one of my programs, you are in for a l o t German Lieder ­
 
perhaps more than most people ever hear at one sitting.  My teacher and
mentor was one of the greatest German Lieder singers and it seems only
natural  that  since  I have  an  aﬀinity with  her voice  and technique, so
should I also have aﬀinity with the Lieder.  Today’s program, however,
oﬀers a bit of a departure from my normal recital style, as I have added
two relatively unfamiliar works in other languages.  The ﬁrst half oﬀers a
steady diet of Lieder, and the second half has two diﬀerent t hings on the
menu:  the rarely performed Death of Cleopatra of Berlioz in French and
the whimsical jazzy cycle No Ordinary Woman! of Gwyneth Walker in
English.
In planning this program, I was oﬀered a date in October and decided that,
since October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I would love
to do a tribute to women. Each set oﬀers a diﬀerent look into the varied
personalities of women and how they deal with their lives.  Each shows us
a diﬀerent strength and vulnerability.  Presumably, no woman is alike, but
I am conspiring to prove today that there are things we all share and have
in common, whether it is a desire we have had in our deepest fantasies or
something that we have stood for outwardly in  how we live our lives.
There is a common thread of sisterhood, which crosses all boundaries of
race, color, social status or religious belief.  No more is that apparent than
in  the  poetry  of  Lucille  Clifton,  a  distinctively  “Black  voice”  which
speaks clearly of Black issues, emotions and values, and yet s p e a k s  all
of us with such ease and familiarity that we see a part of ourselves in her
writing.

Be active and become involved either by donation to the charity of your
choice or by moral support of someone you know who needs you.  We all
depend  on  women  for  their  nurturing,  their  encouragement  and  their
female intuition that make our earth a gentler, more beautiful place to live
in.  We are all a community of souls that can combine our small lights
into one larger one that can light the world.  You can make a diﬀerence in
someone’s life.  I’m sure you already have!  It  is my sincere hope that
today I will make a diﬀerence in yours, so please pass it on!
Love and Light to you all and do continue reading to enjoy some personal
and occasionally irreverent program notes!

The two Kliirchen Lieder that open the program are from incidental
music that Beethoven wrote for the Goethe play Egmont (like a modern
ﬁlm score of sorts) in 1809.  The idea of a hero in Beethoven’s mind was
in  fact inseparable from that of working for a liberated humanity.  The
beliefs of Egmont, Goethe and Beethoven were similar in  many ways,
and it has been said that Beethoven was so impressed with Goethe’s play
that  he  refused  to  take  any  payment  from  the  theater  for  writing  the
music.  Egmont is a stirring dramatization of a quintessentially romantic

subject: a heroic individual’s fatal struggle against injustice.  His beloved
and  devoted  Klarchen  was  a  Burgher’s  daughter  who  plots  to  free

Egmont  from imprisonment and, having  failed in that attempt, poisons

herself.  In these particular music selections, Klirchen shows her young
and  rambunctious side as well as her sentimental side.  Freudvoll und
Lcidvoll seems to be a lyric hymn to emotions themselves, emotions that
seem to be marked typically by ardent youth.  In Die Trommel geriihret,
one can hear the drums rolling in the lower piano and the ﬁfe tweeting up
high getting ready for battle.  One can hear the middle chords played in
oﬀ­beats, imitating the shooting guns of battle.  These songs are popular
with  voice  and  piano  in  any  range,  but  were  originally  written  for
soprano  with  orchestral  accompaniment.  One  is  reminded  of
Beethoven’s opera Fidelio, which also portrays a heroine disguised as a
man who inﬁltrates a camp to save her imprisoned husband.
The beautiful song cycle of Schumann to the poetry of Chamisso
has aroused disdain every time I discuss it with a German speaker.  Many
native German speakers (mainly men), while acknowledging the beauty
and  importance  of  this  cycle,  have  almost  unanimously  decided  that
these texts are insipid and sexist.  1 ﬁnd that terribly amusing, as i t is a
product  of  the  time  in  which  they  were  written.  Indeed,  there  are
moments that speak of obeisance and blind adoration.  What I think so
interesting, period notwithstanding, is that almost every person who has
been  in  love  in  the  delicate  ﬂower  of their  youth  has  had  just  these
feelings!  I have planned for many years to sing these songs and I have
always felt that they say how I feel about my husband.  Finally I have
programmed them, and you know what?  I still feel that way about him!
There are eight bricf songs woven together with such stunning simplicity
that  it  makes  one  marvel  at  the  honesty  of  emotion  they  portray.
Following her li fe from the ﬁrst time she lays eyes on “him,” Seit ich ihn
gave/ion opens with a gentle theme as she recounts how she fell in love at
ﬁrst  sight.  In  E r,  der  Herrlichste  von  Allen,  she  “shouts  from  the

�r

rooftops,” so to speak, his  praises and  how grand  he  is  in  every way.  Ieh

kann ”s  nicht fassen ﬁnds her bewilderment as she realizes that he too feels the

same way and has professed to “always be hers.”  Du Ring am meinem Finger
shows her gazing at her wedding ring, singing of the promises she will fulﬁll
and the responsibility and honor of becoming the wife of the man she adores.
In  Helft mir, ihn Schwestern, she asks her sisters to adorn  her and make her
ready  for  her  wedding  day.  One  clearly  hears  the  theme  of  this  song
transformed  into a wedding march  in  the piano ending.  Siisser Freund, du
blickest ﬁnds tenderness and intimacy as they consummate their marriage and
as she tells him that she hides a beautiful secret; one day his beloved  image
will gaze back at him.  The following An meinem Herzen, the happiest of all of
these in many ways, is a playful session with their beautiful child as she nurses
him and tickles him, making him  laugh.  What a shame it is, she says, that a
man can never experience this level of joy!  At the end of this song we  hear
clearly the three notes that she has sung at the end of the previous one, ‘dein
Bildniss’ (your image).  It is in this three note porten t that we next hear, in the
ﬁnal song, Nun  hast  du  mir den ersten Schmerz get an, the death knell  in a
single minor chord.  Here she curses him for her deep sadness caused by his
death, leaving her all alone.  She withdraws into herself, a nd there she will ﬁnd
her lost happiness and her w orld.  A fter these words, the theme w e heard at the
beginning of the cycle returns.  It is up to you whether or not to believe it is an
actual physical death for her, but most deﬁnitely i t i s the death o f the woman
she was, and this opening the me poignantly cradles this de ep and sad passing.
H ugo  Wolf’s ﬁrst i m portant works, the  songs of  1877­8, arose  from  the
eﬀec ts o f  h is sexual initiation and ﬁrst romantic attachment.  Some are bright,

others  agonized,  reﬂecting  his  depression  and  illness  from  a  syphilitic
infection.  Physical  exhaustion  and  depressive  phases stemmed  the  ﬂow  of
original  music.  He  wrote  his  last  songs  in  1897,  then  had  the  mental
breakdown  that  led  to  his  terminal  illness.  Wol f’s  strength  was  the
compression of large­scale forms and ideas ­ the essences of grand opera, tone
poem and dramatic symphony ­ into song, combining the Lieder traditions of
Schubert and  Schumann.  It  is  rare  to  hear the songs of  Wolf programmed
within a song recital.  First of all because they require a monster pianist playing
on a monster piano, and almost all o f his songs demand ﬂawless technique and
musical intellect from both s inger and pianist.  However, all o f that without a
capricious virtuosity means nothing.  Simple, yet someti mes strange melodies

set  against  complex  rhythms  and  harmonies  make  for  a  powerful  musical
journey.  Three of these songs tonight are of the comic and light  nature, and
two are heavy­laden with stunning cf fcct.  Mein Liebster hat zum Tische mich
geladen, from an original Italian text, is a romp with pianist and singer recling
o ﬀ s eemingly predictable notes that, i f  heard attentively, arc really odd leaps.

skips and strange intervals echoing the text vividly.  Miihvoll komm’ ich
und beladen  is  from the Spiritual Songs of the Spanish Songbook.  A
woman sings in great pain and shame; she begs God to take her and wash
her clean of her sins.  Here you hear the full splendor of Wolf‘s complex
harmonies.  Verschwiegene Liebe was written by Eichendorﬀ, a favorite
poet of Wolf’s.  A serene and quiet mood is set from the very beginning.
In the undulating piano chords, one can hear and experience being alone
in  nature, watching clouds go  by across the dark sky, and  thoughts of
love permeate the air and become almost tangible.  There is a rhythmic
disconnectedness  between  piano  and  voice  that  demonstrates  this
solitude.  The quietness and gentleness that each use to weave these lines
together despite the disconnect is a marvel, creating a calm stillness.  It is
as if each  is  resigned in  its separateness, yet woven  together.  In  dem
Schatten  meiner  Locken  is  taken  from  an  original  Spanish  text.  A
coquette lets us in on an intimate scene where her lover has fallen asleep.
She knows she has him just where she wants him.  In the meantime she is
terribly  preoccupied  with  her  hair  and  every other  little  thing.  Both
pianist  and  singer  must  play  back  and  forth  with  pianist  playing  the
spoken words and thought processes.  Ich hab ’ in Penna einen Liebsten
is  the “Catalogue Aria” for a woman.  Like the aria in  Mozart ’s opera

Don Giovanni that tells how many lovers he has had in which countries,
this young lady proceeds to give us the lowdown on her paramours!  The
bopping chords in the piano in the beginning give the feeli ng of her brain
ticking  and  counting  each  boy  and  his  whereabouts,  ending  with  a
fabulous ﬂourish worthy of such propitious luck in love.

L a Mort de Cléopétre, a marvelous “little opera” as I am wont to call it,
is a marvel of writing and a real  hard sing!  Written by  Berlioz as an
entry to a competition, the te xt was provided and strict rul es given.  With
orchestral  accompaniment  he  gives  the  orchestra  ﬂashes  of  color,
painting  broad  strokes  to  highlight  a  very  dramatic  personality  and
historic account of this glorious and proud woman as she recounts her

risc and  fall and ultimately screws her courage up to take her own  life
with a poisonous asp’s fatal fangs.  It is hard to believe that this entry did
not win.  He was a second prize winner the year before and was favored
to win.  It was the amazing chances he took in this composition and the
individualistic complexities that obviously baﬀled the judging panel that
caused his demise and stood in  the way of his claiming ﬁrst  prize.  The
following  year,  he  entered  again  and  conformed  strictly  to  the
compositional rules and at long last, won ﬁv e years ’  ﬁnancial support,
with an obligatory period of residence in  Italy.  What remains from that

�fourth entry  is an extraordinary piece of music that  is  rarely performed  but
always well received. 
­
There are a select  few who  hold  this piece  in  their  repertoire, and  one
might say it is written  for a certain type of singer, since it has a considerabl e

range and resides a great deal  in  the soprano territory.  lt has been sung by
sopranos  and  mezzo­sopranos  alike  and,  despite  its  considerable  vocal
demands, concerns  itself more  with  an  attitude and d ramatic  portrayal  than
vocal category.  This scéne  lyrique or operatic  scene as Berlioz calls it,  is
divided  into  sections  and  opens  with  an  overture­like  introduction.  A

»

­

recitative,  C ‘en  est  donc  fait!,  follows  as  Cleopatra  recounts  her  story  in
narrative style, which eventually gives way to a simple song, Ah! Qu ’ils sont

loin ces  jours, when she recalls her past glory.  Another narra tive follows – Au
comble des revers – on  how quickly  fate can turn  giving way to misery and
disaster.  Where w ill she ﬂee with no place to go, no parents, no  country?  Here
she decides that nothing is  left to her but death – “eternal night.”  The second
hal f, Méditation,  is inscribed with Juliet ’s words from Shakespeare : “ I f  when
in the tomb 1 am laid...”  A somewhat ritualistic dirge begins in the orchestra’s
depths, a droning yet jerky  rhythm  from the strings accompanied by muddy
dull  brass chords  seemingly  invoking the  underworld.  Cleopatra  intones a
prayer, Grands Pharaons, to the gods and pharaohs of old to accept her into the

poetry, the words of not only a Black woman but of “Every Woman,”
“Today’s Woman,” as she speaks with  clarity  and honesty  about  her
shortcomings,  her  disappointments,  expectations,  and  the  inevitable
loneliness that comes with the wisdom o f “coming of age.”  The music,
itself  sometimes  in  a  through­composed  jazz,  is,  just  as  the  poetry,
alternating between  lyricism and  percussive humor.  Generic but also
ethnic  in  nature,  it  encompasses  a  wide  range  of emotion  which  is
intensiﬁed by the use of humor in describing potentially touchy subjects:
round hips, nappy hair and of course the big “4­0.”  It recounts crossing

A fterlife.  A deﬁant sect ion follows – Non, j’ai d ’un époux déshonoré la vie –
where she proclaims that she w ill take control o f her destiny and decides to k ill
herself by a poisonous asp.  She cries out to Osiris and then says, “To  Typhon,
l deliver all m y days.”  It is here that she takes up the vile reptile, and one hears
clearly in the accompaniment the very moment when she is bitten.  Here the
frenzied  accompaniment  winds  down  to  two  low  notes  undulating  an
unmistakable heartbeat, in itially quick­paced, then accelerating as  the poison
takes aﬀect.  A ll the while she tells that she w ill leave this li fe, even as the

the threshold  from Maidenhood to Womanhood and from Womanhood
to  the  Wise  Crone,  a  passage  all  we  women  make  sometimes
humorously, sometimes painfully, but in this lady’s case always with her
eyes wide open for the journey!

Emperor Octavius awaits her on his chariot, and through her courage to take
her own li fe, she is at la st worthy o f Cacsar.  As she says these her ﬁnal words,
we  hear her  heartbeat slowing down and missing  beats, stopping,  restarting,
then fast again as if she is revived, and then it halts to only an occasional beat,
Finally, we hear nothing, as the chords swell to bring down the curtain on one
of history ’s most glorious and proud women.
I  can thank my soprano friend, Maria Ferrantc, for introducing me to the
wonderful  song  cycle  No  Ordinary  Woman!  which  was  commissioned  by
soprano  Denise  Walker and pianist  Estrid  Eklo f  for  its  premiere  at  Brown
University in  December 1997.  1 am compelled to write about the composer,

Dr.  Gwyneth  Walker,  since  she  is  the  only  woman  composer,  the  only
A merican, as w ell as the most contemporary one (b. 194 7) in today ’s program.
She  is a  graduate  o f Brown Univ ersit y  and the  Hartt  School o f Music, and

holds B.A., M.M. and D.M.A degrees in composition.  A former faculty
member  of  the  Oberlin  College  Conservatory,  she  resigned  from
academia in 1 982 to compose music fulltime.  She now lives on a dairy
farm in  Braintree,  Vermont, and  is  a  recipient  of the  2000  Lifetime
Achievement Award  from the Vermont Arts Council.
The cycle’s rich text was written by the A fro­American poet laureate
Lucille Clifton.  Clifton, Maryland’s poet laureate from 1979 to 1985,
has led anything but an abstract life.  She grew up poor in Buﬀalo and
was abused by her father, something she will not let get in the way of
seeing  him  as  an  individual,  a  ﬂawed  but whole  person.  “I  identify
myself in many ways,” she told Jean Marbella of The Baltimore Sun in
1996.  “Victim is not one of them.  One goes on i f one can.”:  Her words
are  strong  like  a tasty heavy meal  peppered with piquant  words that
trickle over the tongue.  Clifton’s humor is wonderfully bold, even as her
writing itself is subtle; this is one strong woman who has lived a full and
thorough  life  and celebrates her  femaleness.  This is strong beautiful

to do right, but sets loose forces beyond her comprehension. Mitchell­Velasco’s
mezzo  is  beautiful,  compact  and  supple,  oﬀering  an  unbroken  legato
unmatched since her mentor, the great Christa Ludwig, commanded the role.
To hear her pour forth measure after measure of inexhaustible tone carries one
back to the era when Wagnerian titans regularly trod the world stages.

Tr uly, then, I have no complaint,
For though she be fair and fairer,
There is none so fair as she
In my heart.

Introduction and Passacaglia............................................ Max Reger
(1873­1916)

[11. Upon a High Place

I stood upon a high place,
And saw, below, many devils
Running, leaping,
And carousing in sin.
One looked up, grinning,
And said: “Comrade! Brother!”

ABOUT THE PERFO RMER

Symphonie III, op. 28

. Louis Vierne
(1870­1937)

Prélude, Fugue et Variation

. César Franck
(1822­1890)

Allegro Maestoso

Three Pieces for Organ (2000)....
(Based on poetry of Stephen Crane)
I.  Black Riders

Black riders came from the sea.
There was clang and clang of spear and shield,
And clash and clash of hoof and heel,
Wild shouts and the wave of hair
In the rush upon the wind:
Thus the ride Sin.

II.  Here and There
I looked here;
I looked there:
Nowhere could I see my love.
And—this time—
She was in my heart.

.. Aaron Travers
(b. 1975)

2.  (Moderato)
In many hearts there is death inside
like a dark wasteland;
the heart is a place for sadness and pain only.
A delusion of hot love enters into the heart
and the heart pines with grief:
This means it loves.
The sweet feeling changes the dead heart
into a paradise;
and it sings the old legend (of love).

4.  (Poco sostenuto)
I know that in a sweet hope I can love you;
still more anviously we want the love to grow.
And yet, when I look into the delightful night of your eyes,
and learn how the heaven of love
from your eyes bestows power on me:
my eyes are ﬁlling with tears,
For brooding o’er our love,
I see a cruel fate looking at us in happiness.
7 . (Andante)

In that sweet power of y our eyes

How gladly I would die for thee;
If laughter of your beautiful lips
did not invite me to live.
I would choose immediately
that sweet death, with no fear;

I know your smiling lips
will awaken me to life again.

Antonin Dvorak
