Ammons.
To benefit
Chorus America, Stucky
allowed himself to be
auctioned off as a prize
- the high bidder would
receive a new work from
the composer. After a few
years and not really
hearing anything, Stucky
suddenly found himself up
against a deadline. He
reached back to a
favorite poem by A.R.
Ammons, Eyesight, which,
he says, Won't let...his
reader rest till the very
last word...one of those
sudden insights that
leave us
breathless.. This
piece has an odd history.
A few years ago, I agreed
to be one of
the“prizesâ€
in an auction to benefit
Chorus America: the
highest bidder wouldget a
new piece from me, while
their money went to the
organization. Thewinning
bid came from a
collection of several
professional choruses
anddirectors. But I was
always a little vague
about the details, and,
hearingnothing more about
it for a few years,
forgot the whole
thing.One day I received
a message from Thomas
Edward Morgan, directorof
the Ars Nova Chamber
Singers in Boulder: they
had scheduled thepremiere
of my new piece for a few
weeks later, and could
they have themusic,
please? I needed a text,
quickly, and (as usual) I
was in a Los Angeleshotel
room, not at home with my
books. So I turned to the
internet andsoon tracked
down my favorite poet,
A.R. Ammons
(1926-2001).Once I
stumbled on
“Eyesight,†I
remembered having loved
the poemyears before.
Archie must have loved
it, too, because he
included it bothin his
Collected Poems 1951-1971
and in the later Selected
Poems. It haseverything
you want in an Archie
Ammons poem: what Edward
Hirschcalled his
“offbeat, sideways,
unpredictable
radiance,†his
“homespunglory.â
It has one of his
trademark conversations
with a mountain
(perhapsfrom his native
North Carolina), it has
the fluid motion from one
line tothe next
(enjambment, if you want
to get technical) that
won’t let him
orhis reader rest till
the very last word of the
very last line, and it
has in thatlast line one
of those sudden insights
that leave us breathless:
“some thingsthat go
are gone.â€I miss
Archie, but he’s
not gone. I’m
grateful for the
wonderful poems heleft
us, and I’m
grateful that he was
always generous and kind
when I hadthe chutzpah to
add my music to his.

680160691098. The Garden
of the Finzi-Continis
novel by Giorgio
Bassani.
Based on
Bassani’s 1962 novel,
THE GARDEN OF THE
FINZI-CONTINIS dramatizes
the true story of a
prosperous Jewish
family’s disruptions
and consequences from
state-mandated
antisemitism in Italy
during World War II.
Gordon describes the
opera as “romantic,
sun-drenched, and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.” This
dramatically topical and
personal grand opera
premiered at New York
City Opera and National
Yiddish Theatre
Folksbiene to rave
reviews in 2022. Chris
Ruel wrote in OperaWire,
“I have chosen Ricky
Ian Gordon and Michael
Korie’s THE GARDEN OF
THE FINZI-CONTINIS as my
favorite opera of
2022.”. At one
point, in 2008, I was
walking down 72nd Street,
and I passed the video
store, (this is when
there were video stores)
and I thought to myself,
I wonder if Kevin (my
partner) has ever seen
The Garden of the
Finzi-Continis? which was
always one of my favorite
movies. My reaction when
we watched it that night
was unlike any other time
I had seen it. I was
wrenched, sobbing,
inconsolable. My heart
felt like the autumn
leaves we see blowing
through the garden at the
end of the movie. It
seemed immediately that
this had to be my next
opera. I called Michael
Korie, and we both bought
the Bassani novel and
read it. We settled on
it. It felt clear that we
both had a collective
story to tell through
it.Because this opera is
so close to both of our
hearts, it is dedicated
to our fathers.It is not
only that The Garden of
the Finzi-Continis is a
Holocaust story that
makes it so resonant for
me, though obviously this
is no small matter, but
the tragedy of people
trying to live their
lives, or actually living
them, their petty
disappointments, their
heartbreaks, against the
backdrop of total
catastrophe… that makes
it so moving. They cannot
possibly imagine what
will befall them, but we
know… and this makes
their every move
fascinating and
devastating… like
watching moths under a
glass. It is romantic,
sun-drenched and
cataclysmic, all at the
same time.This is why I
had to write it.

Hungarian Folk.
In
2014, Chanticleer
commissioned me to make a
new arrangement of the
Hungarian-Romani folk
song Jarba, Mare Jarba
for their 2014 touring
program. Passed down
orally through the Romani
communities, this
beautiful folk song, with
text in a language called
Beas (beh-osh), speaks of
a deep longing to visit
one's homeland, a place
where the singer can
never return. Chanticleer
consists of twelve men
whose vocal ranges span
from low bass to high
soprano, equivalent to
the range of a mixed
choir of women and men. I
composed slow sections of
original material to
represent the singers'
longing to return home;
these are interspersed
with the folk song's
traditional fast
sections. The
incorporated shouts and
calls in the score are
typically found in the
performance of Central
European folk songs. I
hope you enjoy singing
this new version of
Jarba, Mare Jarba that
contains all of the vigor
and excitement of the
Chanticleer version.

The
Complete Vocal Works
Johann Pachelbel is known
today as a composer of
organ music and of a
world-famous instrumental
canon which frequently
features in concert
programmes and recording
catalogues. However, the
same can be said of only
a few of his vocal
compositions. At most,
the motets appear
occasionally in church
music repertoire.
Pachelbelâ??s arias,
vocal concerti and
large-scale Magnificats
have received little
attention up to now.
Church musicians and
musicologists have long
wished for a critical
edition of these
important works, which
survive in Pachelbelâ??s
manuscript and were
largely composed in his
main places of work,
Erfurt and Nuremberg . As
always with such
ventures, new discoveries
are to be expected
regarding the body of
works, source material
and the context of the
works. This concerns not
only beautiful music, but
rather a deepening of our
understanding of
Pachelbel as a key figure
between southern and
central German
traditions, and the
recognition of an oeuvre
which has all too often
been pushed into the
shadows by the mighty
Bach.
The
Critical Edition
The edition aims to make
available all of Johann
Pachelbelâ??s surviving
vocal works in the best
possible form. It is
edited by the Institut
für Musikwissenschaft
at the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg and
the Institut für
Kirchenmusik at the
Kunstuniversität
Graz.
Two
volumes per year are
planned.
As a
chronological order is
not possible in many
cases, the individual
works have been arranged
according to scoring
within their groups.
Fragments and works where
Johann Pachelbelâ??s
authorship is doubtful
appear at the end of the
respective group.
Each volume includes
an introduction (Ger/Eng)
and a Critical Commentary
(Ger). Format 25.5 x 32.5

When
Tim Sharp, Executive
Director of the ACDA,
offered Stucky the Brock
Memorial Commission, it
was decided that the text
would commemorate the
50th anniversary of the
assassination of John F.
Kennedy, since the annual
convention would take
place in Dallas of that
year. To that end, Stucky
chose four different but
pertinent texts to honor
the occasion, although
never referencing JFK by
name. Take Him, Earth was
premiered at the ACDA
convention in March,
2013. Originally scored
for chorus and chamber
ensemble of nine
instruments (available on
a rental basis), Take
Him, Earth is presented
here in piano reduction.
For advanced choirs.
Duration: 13'. When
Tim Sharp, Executive
Director of the American
Choral Directors
Association, very
kindlyoffered me the
Raymond W. Brock Memorial
Commission for 2013, he
suggested that because
thepremiere would take
place at the national
conference in Dallas in
the 50th year since the
assassinationof John F.
Kennedy in that city, the
text might refer in some
way to that grim
anniversary. Hesuggested,
too, that I consider
using a chamber ensemble
or chamber orchestra to
accompany thechorus.I
took these suggestions to
heart, but at the same
time I wanted to write
something universal
enoughto be appropriate
on other occasions, in
other settings. Thus the
score is dedicated to
PresidentKennedy’s
memory, but otherwise he
is never referred to by
name. Instead, I
assembled a group oftexts
that are associated with
him in some way, but that
also stand alone as a
more general eulogy.As a
refrain, there are a few
lines from the early
Christian burial hymn
that begins “Take
him,Earth, for
cherishingâ€
— lines that were
earlier set to music by
Herbert Howells in his
classic motetcommissioned
for Kennedy’s
memorial service in 1963.
The lines of Aeschylus
“Drop, drop
— inour sleep,
upon the heart sorrow
falls†from
Agamemnon were quoted by
Robert F. Kennedy uponthe
death of Martin Luther
King in April 1968. The
celebrated “When he
shall die, cut him out
inlittle starsâ€
from Act III of
Shakespeare’s
Romeo and Juliet was
cited by RFK a few months
after hisbrother’s
murder.

With its
tonal language of
subjective avowal, the
first of Beethoven's two
masses opens up new
worlds of expression for
the liturgical texts of
the Mass which are
expressly modern and
point towards the future.
Not to be considered a
preliminary work to the
Missa solemnis, it is an
entirely independent work
which set standards for
the further development
of settings of the Mass
in the 19th century. Its
newness, of which the
composer himself was
fully aware (I do not
speak gladly of my Mass,
or of myself, but I do
believe that I have
treated the text in a
manner in which only few
have treated it.), paves
a way to an hitherto

avenue to faith which
today is still current.

680160919789. Key: Bb
major. English. Siegfried
Sasson.
Everyone
suddenly burst out
singing; And I was filled
with such delight As
prisoned birds must find
in freedom... These
opening lines to Everyone
Sang by the British war
poet Siegfried Sassoon
feel as relevant today as
they did when the poem
was first published in
1919. It was after the
end of World War I and
these words capture so
much of the collective
exhilaration, relief, and
pure joy about the Great
War finally coming to an
end. And yet Sassoon
himself felt none of that
when he wrote this poem.
In his own words, he was
feeling dull-minded and
depressed. Perhaps his
time in the trenches was
still too recent. One of
the reasons the creative
arts are so powerful is
that a poet like Sassoon
(or a painter like Van
Gogh or a composer like
Mahler) can take their
own feelings of deep
sadness or pain and
transform them into
something beautiful, even
uplifting. Everyone Sang
is a celebration of the
promise that things can
get better, that there
are things worth looking
forward to. The
poem itself has so much
rhythm and musicality.
The appearance of
suddenly in the first
line of each verse gives
those verses a rush of
energy. Attention to the
crescendo in measure 7,
and again in measure 37,
from mf to f will help
the listener experience
that rush. There are
expressive opportunities
with so many of the
poet's bold choices of
action words - burst,
winging, and shaken. Then
there's alliteration - a
poetic device that can be
overdone, but Sassoon
strikes a wonderful
balance. Suddenly/singing
(measures 6-7 and 10-11)
Find/freedom (measure
21-22) Winging/wildly
(measure 23) Setting/sun
(measures 47-49)
Was/wordless (measures
65-75) Give these
alliterations just a hint
of emphasis (without
overdoing) to bring out
the natural rhythm of the
text. And just as
O is set apart in the
poem by punctuation, I
wanted the musical
setting - in measure 57 -
to honor that feeling of
wonder - ...O, but
Everyone Was a bird; and
the song was wordless;
the singing will Never be
done. Friends, there is
so much good ahead, so
much to be excited about.
May the singing never be
done. Everyone
