About the
work ... Few American
poems are as well known
as The Road Not Taken.
Robert Frost, the author,
is an international icon,
not unlike Pablo Picasso,
Winston Churchill or Mark
Twain in their own
disciplines.The poem is
full of contradictions
and quirks of form and
structure. Perhaps that
illusiveness is part of
the poem's intrigue. But
beyond all of the
literary devices that
only a few scholars may
fully appreciate, this
poem has taken on a sort
of fanfare for the common
person credo - a
challenge to
individualism, stepping
out on one's own, and
breaking the mold out of
sheer determination if
nothing else. Frost
connects to the core of
the human spirit in just
a few stanzas using the
analogy of a fork in a
road. The message super
cedes geography, culture,
race or creed. Rather, it
is part of the DNA of
most every person on the
planet - the inner desire
to feel empowered to
create one's own destiny,
to forge a road not
taken, and ultimately in
doing so, to make a
difference. Rehearsal
notes ... Research
strongly suggests that
there is a direct
connection between the
first rehearsal and the
performance. First
impressions last. I find
it helpful to immediately
lock three concepts into
place - mechanics
(notes/rhythms),
text/phrasing (intent and
motivation) and color
(timbre). Performers need
to think musically from
the first reading forward
(first impression). The
cello is very much a
collaborative instrument
in this work, and should
be located in front of
the ensemble (not to
side). Lastly, let the
text speak. The simplest
melodic lines are often
the most exposed. Keep
the voices clear and
transparent, floating
over the top in softer
passages, and singing
with vibrancy and forward
focus throughout. Z.

Five Poems of Nelly
Sachs, Translation from
German of Nos. I, III and
IV by Ruth and Matthew
Mead, of No. II by
Michael Roloff and No. V
by Michael
Hamburger.
O The
Chimneys is a setting of
five poems by Nelly
Sachs, the great
German-Jewish 1966 Nobel
Prize co-winner in
literature, whose writing
concerned itself almost
entirely with the subject
of the holocaust.
Composed in 1969, the
work was my own personal
way of saying, through my
own art, do not forget.
Shockingly, these words
have as much relevance
today as they did when
the work was written.
Today we find ourselves
having to say do not
forget, do not distort,
do not deny it ever
happened. I
selected the five poems
from Sachs' O The
Chimneys collection,
retaining its grimly
evocative title even
though I did not include
the actual poem by that
name. In scoring the work
for female voice, flute,
clarinet/bass clarinet,
cello, piano and
percussion, I aimed to
give myself the broadest
possible palette of
instrumental colors while
using the smallest number
of participants. Yet as I
was planning the final
moments of my cycle, I
felt that instrumental
sound alone would not
suffice to express the
horror. An electronic
tape segment was added to
the work's final climax.
The first two
poems (A Dead Child
Speaks and Already
Embraced by the Arm of
Heavenly Solace), both
depicting the tearing of
a child away from his
mother, are treated
essentially as one unit,
with the first acting as
an introduction to the
second. These two, and
the cycle's apocalyptic
fifth poem (Hell is Naked
from Glowing Enigmas II),
act as the two weighty
pillar points, so to
speak, surrounding the
more introspective two
middle poems (Fleeing and
Someone Comes). To
maximize dramatic
differentiation within
the constraints of a
relentlessly tragic
subject matter, I used
range as a means to
delineate contrast, by
dividing the sounds
available to me into low
and dark (mvt. III) vs.
high and, at times,
eerily bright (mvt. IV)
colors. Thus the two
middle poems are intended
to balance the frenzied
madness of which the
work's outer parts are
made. The work
received its first
performance in New York
at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art's Grace
Rainey Auditorium on
January 19, 1970.

Waiting for the Aeroplane

melodic fragments above
the work's alternating
two-note ostinato are
like the fleeting,

the individual obliged to

This exceptional
collection of 41 truly
beautiful airs and
ballads from the British
Isles offers both
well-known tunes by the
prolific blind Irish
harpist, Turlough
Oâ??Carolan and rarely
heard melodies by
anonymous composers; all
have stood the test of
time. Arranged for
soprano or tenor
recorder, these include
Oâ??Carolanâ??s
classically influenced
â??Lord Inchiquinâ?
and â??Eleanor
Plunkettâ? as well as
â??O Gentle Doveâ?
and â??Cuckoo
Dearâ?â?? both
examples of the strong
tradition of song in
Wales. Among other tunes,
the haunting modal
melodies of â??The Dark
Slender Boyâ? and
â??Enchanted Valleyâ?
express the melancholic
heart and soul of the
British Isles.
A
few of these songs have
taken on a life of their
own in modern times.
â??Bonny at Mornâ?, a
popular traditional tune
of northern England and
Scotland, was arranged
for soprano voice and
harp by the 20th century
British composer,
Benjamin Britten. â??The
Skye Boat Songâ?
originally recounted
Bonnie Prince Charles
Edward Stuartâ??s
journey to the Isle of
Skye after his defeat at
the historic Battle of
Culloden. Later, the song
evolved into a lilting
lullaby and was more
recently used as the
theme song for the
popular Outlander
television
series.
Departing
slightly from recorder
notation practice, author
Marcia Diehl has
judiciously arranged
these melodies complete
with spare slur markings
to aid the amateur player
in authentically and
musically rendering these
tunes.

Written in
1995 as one part of
Lorentzen's 'Suite of
Seven Pieces for organ',
Mercurius is a symbol of
merchants, trade and
thiefs, traditionally
depicted with wings on
his heels, forever
restless, scurrying
about. The music is
divided into sequences of
four, resulting in a
sense of weightlessness
and hurried urgency. The
first complete
performance of 'The

1996 and was given by
