About the WorkThe text of this work is most often attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, although it doesn't mirror his style, and no research credits an essay, book or letter with its source. Other individuals are occasionally suggested as possible authors, but equally unsubstantiated. Even whether the textis a poem or a quote seems unclear. But there is one thing that is without question: that this beloved text has inspired countless people and contributed toward a view of the world through eyes of hope, resilience, courage, beauty, and joy. Music for this text flowed more easily than about any text I have ever set. It has an emotional connection that is mystical, and after I read it for the first time, I immediately sat down and wrote this work without stop.Rehearsal NotesIn many cases, art is more expressive and reaches a wider range of human emotions when multiple artistic fields are fused together. Such is the case with choral music: the intertwining of literature, music, and very often dance, visual arts, and more. The story in choral music is often quite specific, much like film scoring. At times, the music is the picture frame (score) around the picture (text), while at others the music is the leading dramatic/emotional impetus.In the present case (My Farewell Wish), the text is sincere, innocent, heartfelt, and earnest. By all accounts, the message is altruistic, expressing selfless desire for another's present/future happiness. Capturing this message has a strong reliance on the performers to not only carry the emotional intent of the moment (a phrase of text or a measure), but the the energy and continuance of the message throughout.The use of the [o] vowel functions almost as instrumental interludes or underpinning of strings. The conductor may use the [o] as indicated in the score, or a [u] vowel, a hum (with [o] as the vowel inside the mouth), or all three at different times for different reasons. In an acoustical performance (no mic), the soloist and the ensemble are a reflection of each other's natural sound. And, even gentle, warm solo voices should have no trouble projecting.Two final thoughts: 1) the obbligato or added voice or two on high passages (m. 66) or a single note (final chord) will be best delivered by lyrical, pure voices with demonstrated control; and 2) the metronome marking of 80 bpm (mm. 1–81) was strongly considered and should be followed.About the ComposerZ.

Offenbach (1819 - 1880), who was born in Germany, moved to Paris when he was a teenage boy and remained there for much of his life. He became especially famous as a composer of numerous operettas. and of one famous opera: Les Contes d’Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann). His operettas (or ‘musiquettes� �) were often based on comical, or satirical librettos. He makes fun of Parisian daily life, dignitaries, the military, the pretentiousness of the Grand Opéra, and so on. In that respect, Offenbach’s operettas are not really comparable with those of his German-speaking contemporaries, for example, Franz Lehár and Johann Strauss the Younger. Musically speaking, we could callOffenbach’s operettas lively, funny, melodious and catchy.For La Belle Hélène, Offenbach drew from Greek mythology. The story is based on that of Helen of Troy, but is set in France, halfway through the 19th century; it has been turned into a satire on the élite of that time.The overture to La Belle Hélène was (and still is) very successful. Offenbach combined a number of arias and choruses from the operetta to give a taste of what is to follow. Many overtures which follow this form lack unity and structure. However, in this case the composition has been well thought-out.

Offenbach (1819-1880), Duitser van geboorte, verhuisde als jongeman naar Parijs, waar hij een groot deel van zijn leven verbleef. Hij werd vooral beroemd als componist van talrijke operettes en een beroemde opera: Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Zijn operettes (of ‘musiquettes� �) zijn qua libretto vaak komisch en hilarisch, ja zelfs satirisch. Hij steekt hierin de draak met het Parijse mondaine leven, met hoogwaardigheidsbekleders , met militairen, met de bombast van de Grand Opéra, enzovoort. In dat opzicht zijn Offenbachs operettes nauwelijks te vergelijken met die in Duitsland van bijvoorbeeld Franz Lehár en Johann Strauss jr. Muzikaal gezien kunnen we zijn operettes levendig,geestig, melodieus en goed in het gehoor liggend noemen.Voor La Belle Hélène putte Offenbach uit de Griekse mythologie. Het verhaal draait om Helena van Troje, maar is verplaatst naar Frankrijk, halverwege de negentiende eeuw; het is uitgewerkt tot een satire op de heersende elite.De ouverture van La Belle Hélène was (en is nog altijd) zeer succesvol. Offenbach heeft hierin een aantal aria’s en koren uit de operette samengevoegd - een voorproefje dus op wat komen gaat. Veel ouvertures die zo zijn gemaakt, missen eenheid en structuur. In dit geval is er echter sprake van een goed doordachte opbouw.

Der gebürtige Deutsche Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880) zog im Jugendalter nach Paris, wo er den größten Teil seines Lebens verbrachte. Bekannt wurde er vor allem als Komponist zahlreicher Operetten und einer berühmten Oper: Les Contes d’Hoffmann (Hoffmanns Erzählungen). Seine Operetten (oder Musiquettes“) basierte er häufig auf komischen oder gar satirischen Libretti. Darin wird das mondäne Pariser Leben karikiert mit seinen Würdenträgern, Militärs, dem Pomp der Grand Opéra und dergleichen mehr. In dieser Hinsicht sind Offenbachs Operetten vergleichbar mit den deutschen Werken eines Franz Lehár oder Johann Strauss (Sohn). Musikalisch betrachtet können Offenbachs Operetten alslebendig, amüsant, melodiös und eingängig beschrieben werden. Für La Belle Hélène bediente sich Offenbach der griechischen Mythologie. Die Handlung beruht auf Helena von Troja, wurde aber ins Frankreich der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts versetzt und in eine Satire auf die damals herrschende Elite verwandelt.Die Ouvertüre von La Belle Hélène war und ist sehr erfolgreich. Offenbach kombinierte darin eine Reihe von Arien und Chorstellen aus der Operette und lieferte so quasi einen Vorgeschmack auf das Folgende. Vielen auf diese Weise entstandene Ouvertüren mangelt es an Einheitlichkeit und Struktur. Diese Ouvertüre zeugt jedoch von einem gut durchdachten Aufbau.

Jacques Offenbach est né en Allemagne en 1819. Sa famille s’installe Paris alors qu’il est encore adolescent et c’est l qu’il passe la plus grande partie de sa vie. Il devient particulièrement célèbre pour la composition de nombreuses opérettes et d’un opéra légendaire, Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Ses opéras-bouffes (ou « musiquettes ») s’inspirent souvent de livrets comiques ou satiriques. Il parodie la vie quotidienne Paris, se moque des dignitaires, de l’armée, de la prétention du grand opéra, et ainsi de suite. cet égard, les œuvres d’Offenbach ne sont pas vraiment comparables aux opérettes de ses contemporains germanophones tels que Franz Lehár ou encoreJohann Strauss le jeune. Musicalement parlant, on peut dire que les opéras-bouffes d’Offenbach sont entraînants, spirituels, mélodieux et mémorables.Jacques Offenbach s’est inspiré de la mythologie pour composer La Belle Hélène, dont le livret brosse l’histoire d’Hélène de Troie. Mais parodiant l’une des légendes grecques des plus illustres, cette opérette se veut être une satire sur l’élite de l’époque.L†™ouverture de La Belle Hélène a toujours été très populaire. Offenbach y glisse plusieurs arias et chœurs repris ensuite dans l’un ou l’autre acte de l’opérette, afin d’en offrir un avant-go t l’auditoire. De nombreux compositeurs écrivirent par la suite des ouvertures de canevas identique. Bien qu’un grand nombre d’entre elles manquent d’unité et de structure, l’ouverture de La Belle Hélène en est une exception notoire.
