inches. The Devil's
Verse.
To celebrate
25 years of excellence
and promotion of new
concert works, the New
York Virtuoso Singers
commissioned 25
contemporary composers
for 25 new choral works,
all of which now appear
on their recording, 25 X
25: Twenty-Five Premieres
for Twenty-Five Years.
Among the 25 is Richard
Wernick's The Devil's
Game. Here, Wernick uses
The Devil's Verse, a
Latin palindrome that
still puzzles us today as
to its meaning, and
appropriately embraces
repetitive use of the
verse in a musical
palindrome of his
own. The text is a
palindrome (in girum imus
nocte et consumimur
igni), a rather
mysterious one called The
Devil’s Verse. Its
origin is vague (probably
Roman, but possibly
Medieval) and it does not
surrender its meaning
easily; many scholars
have fussed over it. It
is a riddle as well as a
palindrome, in other
words a puzzle within a
puzzle. My preferred
translation, without
going into the niceties
of Latin grammar, is
“We enter the
circle at night and are
consumed by
fire.â€This music is
also a palindrome, the
outer parts of which are
homophonic, while the
turning around point in
the center (where the
basses enter for the
first time) is a brief
double canon.

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.

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

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

Commission

Children’s Choir,
Terra Nostra is a
70-minute oratorio on the
relationship between our
planet and humankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. Part
I: Creation of the World
explores various creation
myths from different
cultures, culminating in
a joyous celebration of
the beauty of our planet.
Part II: The Rise of
Humanity examines human
achievements,
particularly since the
dawn of our Industrial
Age, and how these
achievements have
impacted the planet. Part
III: Searching for
Balance questions how to
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s
resources. In addition to
the complete oratorio,
stand-alone movements for
mixed chorus, and for
solo voice with piano,
are also available
separately. Terra
Nostra focuses on the
relationship between our
planet and mankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. The
oratorio is divided into
three parts:Part I:
Creation of the World
celebrates the birth and
beauty of our planet. The
oratorio begins with
creation myths from
India, North America, and
Egypt that are integrated
into the opening lines of
Genesis from the Old
Testament. The music
surges forth from these
creation stories into
“God’s
World†by Edna St.
Vincent Millay, which
describes the world in
exuberant and vivid
detail. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s
“On thine own
child†praises
Mother Earth for her role
bringing forth all life,
while Walt Whitman sings
a love song to the planet
in “Smile O
voluptuous cool-breathed
earth!†Part I ends
with “A Blade of
Grass†in which
Whitman muses how our
planet has been spinning
in the heavens for a very
long time.Part II: The
Rise of Humanity examines
the achievements of
mankind, particularly
since the dawn of the
Industrial Age. Lord
Alfred Tennyson’s
“Locksley
Hall†sets an
auspicious tone that
mankind is on the verge
of great discoveries.
This is followed in short
order by Charles
Mackay’s
“Railways
1846,†William
Ernest Henley’s
“A Song of
Speed,†and John
Gillespie Magee,
Jr.’s “High
Flight,†each of
which celebrates a new
milestone in
technological
achievement. In
“Binsey
Poplars,†Gerard
Manley Hopkins takes note
of the effect that these
advances are having on
the planet, with trees
being brought down and
landscapes forever
changed. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “A
Dirge†concludes
Part II with a warning
that the planet is
beginning to sound a
grave alarm.Part III:
Searching for Balance
questions how we can
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s
resources. Three texts
continue the
earth’s plea that
ended the previous
section: Lord
Byron’s
“Darknessâ€
speaks of a natural
disaster (a volcano) that
has blotted out the sun
from humanity and the
panic that ensues;
contemporary poet Esther
Iverem’s
“Earth
Screaming†gives
voice to the modern
issues of our changing
climate; and William
Wordsworth’s
“The World Is Too
Much With Us†warns
us that we are almost out
of time to change our
course.
Contemporary/agrarian
poet Wendell
Berry’s “The
Want of Peaceâ€
speaks to us at the
climax of the oratorio,
reminding us that we can
find harmony with the
planet if we choose to
live more simply, and to
recall that we ourselves
came from the earth. Two
Walt Whitman texts
(“A Child said,
What is the grass?â€
and “There was a
child went forth every
dayâ€) echo
Berry’s thoughts,
reminding us that we are
of the earth, as is
everything that we see on
our planet. The oratorio
concludes with a reprise
of Whitman’s
“A Blade of
Grass†from Part I,
this time interspersed
with an additional
Whitman text that
sublimely states,
“I bequeath myself
to the dirt to grow from
the grass I
love…â€My hope
in writing this oratorio
is to invite audience
members to consider how
we interact with our
planet, and what we can
each personally do to
keep the planet going for
future generations. We
are the only stewards
Earth has; what can we
each do to leave her in
better shape than we
found her?
