These seven
sacred songs are suitable
for treble, mixed, or
men's choirs, or for solo
performance. The texts
are taken from various
Sabbath services; many
are suitable for use as
anthems in Christian
worship. While all are
easy, each has
distinctive
features-rhythmic
extension of a phrase,
shifting meters, or
harmonic subtleties-which
make the set rank very,
very high on the simple
does not have to mean
stupid scale. Please,
before you buy another
boring dreidel song, look
at these. Flowing ¾
meter and a pentatonic
tune make this morning
prayer a heartfelt
invocation. (By the way,
this piece is a natural
for Kodaly teaching.)

Prog
ram Notes: It was a happy
coincidence that the
commission for SINFONIA
XVI: TRANSCENDENTAL
VIENNA came from the
Henry David Thoreau
School located in Vienna,
Virginia. Thoreau is one
of the magic names in
American culture: Henry
David Thoreau, one of the
leading figures of the
Transcendentalist
movement, centered in
19th-century New England,
left us a body of unique
philosophical and
poetical writings. To
utter the words, Walden
Pond, is to invoke an
America long past in
physical actuality, but
still present in the
minds and hearts of many
American citizens. The
name, Vienna, of course,
summons thoughts of the
Old World: culture, fine
food, wine, civilized
cities. While
contemplating the form
that SINFONIA XVI should
take, I found myself
thinking of two pillars
of Viennese culture:
expressionism and the
waltz. Musically
speaking, expressionism
reached a zenith in the
works of Arnold
Schoenberg and Alban
Berg. It was Berg, in
particular, that I wanted
to invoke in the outer
movements of my
composition. I knew I
would also have to
include a waltz, and an
invocation of the
mysterious forces that
are contained in both
expressionism and
transcendentalism. Thus
was the structure of the
work generated. The outer
movements with their
vision of the night sky
and the stars, Aldebaran
and Sirius, frame the
central movements, which
are essentially two
versions of the same
material, and are quieter
and less dramatic. The
outer movements are
symmetrical, and share
both pitch and rhythmic
materials. Accordingly, I
see the work as a ternary
form, with the central
movements forming a unit
within the outer frame: A
(Movement 1) B (Movements
2 & 3) A' (Movement 4).
Harmonically, the work
can be summarized by the
two pitch-series which
occur in the opening bars
of Movement 1: the
initial 12-note row, with
a tonal center on F-sharp
(measures 1-6), and the
subsequent D-minor Dorian
7-note row (beginning in
measure 14). Aspects of
these materials occur in
all four movements, but
they are most strongly
present in Movements 1
and 4. Note that the
12-note row is not
subjected to the usual
serial procedures, but
instead is treated as a
signifier and is left
unchanged. Since the
fourth movement takes up
where the first movement
leaves off, I can
conceive of one
interpretation of
SINFONIA XVI as an
evocation of Thoreau
himself contemplating two
of the brightest stars on
a clear, cold night.
Aldebaran is an orange,
first-magnitude star,
located in the
constellation Taurus;
Sirius, the Dog Star, is
the brightest star in the
sky, and is located in
the constellation Canis
Major. Thoreau interrupts
his star-gazing to
entertain some inward
thoughts, waking dreams,
as it were, then returns
his gaze to the splendid
night sky and all its
treasures. Although many
other interpretations of
the material are
possible, it is important
to remember that the
abstract materials of the
piece -- pitch, rhythm,
structure -- are what
count the most. Ensemble

Starting
from a lovely and
haunting melody

clarinets, Carl
Strommen's Invocation and
Dance, in two contrasting
sections, is an object
lesson in how to write
memorably for young

straightforward and
appealing material. The
fast second section
begins with some
wonderful quiet
percussion writing and
the phrase and meter
shifting versions of the
original tune cleverly
vary it before leading to
the fully-scored return
of the melody in its
original form. This
selection is contest and
festival material of the

I
became interested in the
work of Plato through my
friend and collaborator,
the writer and
philosopher Paul
Woodruff. Paul's new
translation, with
Alexander Nehamas, of the
Symposium gave me
insights into ancient
Greek ways of thinking
about Love, Beauty, and
Wisdom -- and managed to
keep the earthy, and
often bawdy side of it
all in full view. But
their new translation of
Plato's later dialogue
Phaedrus went even
further: the beauty of
the speeches is
breathtaking, and the
discourse itself is
enough to keep one awake
at night. Basically the
Great Speech of Socrates
in the Phaedrus dialogue
has to do with the place
of Eros in the world, and
with the conflict in the
soul between fleshly
pleasure and philosophic
discovery. I will not
attempt to encapsulate
this brilliant discourse
in a program note:
suffice it to say that
reading it gave rise to
my two-sided work for
clarinet, violin, and
piano, Phaedrus. The
first movement represents
the Philosophic life, and
is thus subtitled
Apollo's Lyre (Invocation
and Hymn). It begins with
an unaccompanied melody
for the clarinet, which
(after a pair of
harp-like flourishes for
the piano, expands into
an accompanied canon. The
voices in the dialogue
(clarinet and violin)
follow each other by a
prescribed number of
beats, but the music is
totally devoid of any
meter at all. The piano,
representing the lyre,
accompanies this lyric
love-feast with repeated
strummed chords. The
canon has three large
sections, and ends with
violin echoing the
unaccompanied clarinet
invocation as the sound
of the lyre fades. The
second movement, called
Dionysus' Dream-Orgy
(Ritual Dance) presents,
after a brief
introduction, another
kind of unmetered music.
Rather than long lyric
flights of philosophic
song, however, this time
we hear a unison dance of
unbridled energy and
sensual transport. The
piece soon forms itself
into a loose arch form,
with contrasting metered
dance sections divided by
the unison unmetered orgy
tune. Midway through the
movement, Apollo's melody
returns from the first
movement, but it is a
temporary reminiscence.
The orgiastic dance
returns, reaches a
climax, and ends with a
stomping of feet. While
Plato asserts that a
proper balance between
lust and reason is
necessary in all men, he
(naturally) gives the nod
to Philosophy as the
better choice in which to
live. Not so in my music:
the two sides are meant
to coexist and to
complement each other. No
sides are taken. Phaedrus
was commissioned of the
Verdehr Trio by Michigan
State University. It is
dedicated to the Vedehr
Trio with great affection
and admiration.
