Karol
Szymanowski (1882-1932)
is regarded as one of the
most important Polish
composers since Chopin.
He received his formative
musical training in
Warsaw where he lived for
many years and was also
director of the
Conservatoire and Music
Academy. His
compositional oeuvre
comprises a large variety
of styles: Szymanowski
first leaned towards
Chopin and Scriabin, then
studied Richard Strauss
and Igor Stravinsky,
finally finding a style
in which he combined
impressionism and
expressionism. His
'Mythes' for violin and
piano from 1915 fell in a
transitional period,
turning away from late
German Romanticism. They
are expressive miniatures
full of tonal refinement
and impressionist charm
and, thanks to their
accessible virtuosity,
perfect performance
pieces. Contents: I. La
Fontaine d'Arethuse

• III. Dryades et

At
First Light was
commissioned by Eric
Bruskin, a resident of
Philadelphia, USA, in
memory of his mother.
Eric had a longstanding
enthusiasm for my work,
and I was touched to be
the person he approached
for a task which is both
a privilege and a
daunting responsibility.
In a sense, no music can
ever measure up to the
weight of love or the
hope of consolation
vested in it under such
circumstances - but in
memory I carry the deaths
of both my own parents,
and I was able to draw
upon that. Eric's
fondness for my Cello
Sonata (itself written in
memoriam) led him to ask
that I include a solo
'cello part in the new
work - but his attachment
also to my polyphonic
sacred choral writing
meant that he wanted a
centrepiece which would
be both a showcase of
that approach and the
celebration of a life
well lived. Therefore,
the seven movements of At
First Light arrange
themselves as a series of
slow meditations
surrounding an exuberant
9-minute motet in which
the lamenting cello falls
temporarily
silent.
Eric's
Jewish faith meant that
approaching an agnostic
humanist brought up
within the Anglican
tradition was hardly free
of problems! Gradually,
though, I was able to win
his approval for a
collated mosaic of texts.
This embraces some
liturgical Latin
(necessary for the motet)
as the shared preserve of
broad western culture in
general, but balances it
with a secular approach
to loss, celebration,
remembrance and the many
shades of our mourning
those whom we see no
longer. Eric was adamant
that he did not want the
title Requiem; but what
has emerged is still a
form of semi-secular
Requiem in all but name,
taking its title instead
from a phrase in the poem
by Thomas Blackburn set
as the third movement.
This seemed to suggest
succinctly how the loss
of one very close to us
is an awakening into an
unfamiliar world where
everything is changed.
Following the exuberant
central movement, the
texts by the
Lebanese-born Kahlil
Gibran and the US,
Kentuckian poet Wendell
Berry first address the
departed loved one
directly, then place us
within an imaginary
funeral cortege, where
the perennial and
universal in human
experience become
personal without
subscribing explicitly to
any particular faith (or
lack of it). The final
text of all is a
translation of a Hebraic
prayer, requested and
provided by Eric Bruskin,
which serves to mirror
its Latin counterpart
heard at the
outset.
Throughout
, the lamenting cello
represents a commentary
on the experience
articulated in the text.
It evokes and, in a
sense, tries to embrace
and sanctify the
individual existential
journeys of the bereft,
as they in turn seek to
make their own sense of
what the short-lived
Second World War poet
Alun Lewis called 'the
unbearable beauty of the
dead' (movement
5).
In a modern
world hostage to ever
greater menace,
displacement, bloodshed
and anguish, I hope
fervently that this music
not only brings a measure
of solace to the person
who commissioned it, but
also makes its own small
contribution to bailing
out the sinking ship of
humanity.

Stephen
Collins Foster lived from
1826 to 1864, until only
age 37. He was extremely
prolific, with numerous
songs that have lasted to
this day. I first had the
idea to arrange Beautiful
Dreamer for SATB choirs a
cappella, after hearing
Kristen Chenoweth in
concert. She ended her
concert, in a 1,600 seat
hall, with Beautiful
Dreamer, an a cappella
solo, with no microphone.
Given the beautiful
melody, text and Ms.
Chenoweth's voice, one
could have heard a pin
drop in the audience. Her
performance concluded to
thunderous applause and a
standing ovation. The
power of music.
Throughout this
arrangement, the
harmonies support the
beautiful melody and text
(rather than get in its'
way). Opportunities
abound for vocal parts to
be showcased as well as
an optional solo/duet at
the beginning. Sing
freely, with pure vowels,
crisp diction and
sensitivity, allowing the
text to prevail by giving
special attention to
stressed and unstressed
syllables and words. I
hope you enjoy singing
this arrangement in
rehearsal and performance
to the delight of your
audience. Tell the story
through song because
that's what we should
always do when performing

The
Mythology Suite consists
of three movements of my
Mythology Symphony, which
I arranged for large wind
ensemble. The
arrangements of The
Lovely Sirens and
Penelope Waits were
commissioned by James
Ripley and Carthage
College for the Carthage
Wind Orchestra's 2017
Japan tour. I added
Pandora Undone to
complete the set; Stephen
Squires and the Chicago
College of Performing
Arts gave the premiere of
the entire Suite in
February 2017. Movement
1: The Lovely Sirens The
Sirens were sea nymphs,
usually pictured as part
woman and part bird, who
lived on a secluded
island surrounded by
rocks. Their enchanting
song was irresistible to
passing sailors, who were
lured to their deaths as
their ships were
destroyed upon the rocks.
The Lovely Sirens
presents three ideas: the
Sirens' beautiful song,
an unfortunate group of
sailors whose course
takes them near the
island, and the disaster
that befalls the sailors.
The sailors' peril is
represented by the Morse
code S.O.S. signal (three
dots, three dashes, and
three dots--represented
musically by short and
long rhythms). The S.O.S.
signal grows increasingly
more insistent and
distressed as it becomes
obvious that the sailors,
smitten with the voices
of the Sirens, are headed
for their demise.
Movement 2: Penelope
Waits This quiet movement
represents Queen
Penelope, the faithful
wife of Odysseus, as she
patiently waits twenty
years for her husband's
return from fighting the
Trojan Wars. Penelope
herself is represented as
an oboe. She is
accompanied by the
ensemble as she keeps at
bay the suitors who wish
to marry her and inherit
her riches. Movement 3:
Pandora Undone This
movement is, in turns,
both lighthearted and
serious. The music
depicts a young, naive
Pandora who, while
dancing around her house,
spies a mysterious box.
She tries to resist
opening it, but her
curiosity ultimately gets
the best of her. When she
cracks the lid open and
looks inside, all evils
escape into the world.
Dismayed by what she has
done, she looks inside
the box once more. She
discovers hope still in
the box and releases it
to temper the escaped
evils and assuage
mankind's new
burden. The Mytholo

three movements of

Johannes
Brahms, born May 7, 1833
in Hamburg, Germany and
died April 3, 1897 in
Vienna where he lived
most of his life. Brahms
is one of the most famous
composers of the Romantic
period (1830-1920)
although his music has
many elements of the
Classical period (1750 to
1830) as he followed many
of the practices of
Classical composers
Haydn, Mozart and
Beethoven. In addition to
being a composer, he was
also well-known as a
pianist and conductor.
Brahms began writing the
Requiem (also known as
the German Requiem, Opus
45) soon after his mother
died in February 1865
which caused him great
grief. In April of that
year, he completed the
first, second and fourth
movements and completed
the rest of the seven
movements in May of 1868.
How Lovely is Thy
Dwelling Place (Wie
Lieblich sind Deine
Wohnungen) was the fourth
movement of his seven
movement work.
Originally written for
SATB voices in E-flat
major, this seamlessly
similar arrangement for
SAB voices, now in C
major, affords all voices
comfortable ranges.
Although, it is
approximately 5 minutes
and 30 seconds in length,
it is perceived to be
much shorter because of
the contrasting stylistic
sections within the work.
How Lovely is Thy
Dwelling Place is one of
the most beautiful choral
pieces by Brahms, perhaps
in the entire Romantic
period. Although
Brahms wrote the original
piano reduction, in this
edition, it has been made
more accessible for
pianists with a wide
range of skills. Pay
close attention to the
dynamic markings
throughout the piece,
making them apparent to
the voices, conductor,
and audience. I hope you
enjoy singing this
beautiful and timeless
piece by Johannes Brahms!

Teasdale was a celebrated

at the turn of the
twentieth century, known
for her classical style
and pure, openhearted
writing. At the young age
of twenty-three, she
became a published author
and went on to release a
total of eight
award-winning collections

lifetime. Love-Free is a
reflective poem that
appears in Part I of
Rivers to the Sea,
published in 1915. In the
text, the narrator
experiences a range of
emotions centering around
lost love and the desire
to either separate from
or rekindle it.
Reminiscent of an antique
music box, the text is
paired with a waltz-like
accompaniment in a
lilting 3/4 pattern.
Melodic exploration of
the natural minor scale
is achieved through
mostly step-wise motion
and some carefully

leaps ranging from a
minor third to a sixth.
