Glorious
Hill may be performed by
a male choir.Text by Pico
della Mirandola
(1463-1497) from De
Hominis
Dignitate.Glorious Hill
was commissioned by the
Hilliard Ensemble and
first performed by them
at its summer Festival of
Voices in Lewes, Sussex,
in August 1988. It was
the first piece I wrote
for the ensemble and I
focused on the singers'
unique ability to move
with ease from early
music to tonal music of
the present day. There
were techniques which I
asked for which I hardly
needed to notate - the
staggered breathing of
the two tenors to supply
a continuous unbroken
held note for example -
and the piece moves
between passages for solo
voices and sections of
highly chromatic
homophony, almost as if
the music were switching
between the 12th century
of Perotin and the 16th
century of Gesualdo. Each
of the four voices is
given its own solo
passage, sometimes
accompanied, sometimes
quietly supported by the
other voices.The title,
Glorious Hill comes from
the name of the
small-town Mississippi
setting of Tennessee
Williams' Summer and
Smoke. I wrote the music
for the 1987 production
of this play at the
Leicester Haymarket
Theatre, the first time I
had written any
incidental music for the
stage. Williams makes
very specific demands in
terms of music and there
is one particularly
powerful scene, the
penultimate one,
throughout which music
and atmospheric sound
effects are continuous.
The principle character
Alma argues passionately
about the vital
importance of human
choice with the man to
whom she has, too late,
admitted her love. I
watched this section
every night throughout
the 4 week run of the
play watching the
different ways in which
the actress, Frances
Barber, played the scene.
There is a powerful
emotional and
philosophical connection
between the imagery of
this scene and a passage
from the Renaissance
philosopher Pico della
Mirandola's Oration on
the Dignity of Man which
forms the text of
Glorious Hill. This
passage has been
described as one of the
few passages in
Renaissance philosophy to
treat human freedom in a
modern way. The text,
which is sung in Latin,
is addressed by God to
Adam before the fall from
grace.Gavin Bryars.

Chen
Yi’s most
performed and most
beloved choral music is a
series of 10 Chinese folk
songs adapted for
S.A.T.B. Chorus
(published in 3 volumes:
312-41731, 312-41732,
312-41733). This special
version is a setting of
the familiar collection,
adapted for
children’s chorus
and
strings. Remembering
when I studied
composition in the
Central Conservatory of
Music in Beijing, I
learned to sing hundreds
of Chinese folk songs
collected from more than
twenty provinces and
fifty ethnic groups, and
went to countryside to
collect original folk
music every year. I
got to know that the folk
songs are a mirror of
people’s daily
lives, their thoughts and
sentiments, local customs
and manners. They are
sung in regional dialects
and use the idioms of
everyday speech with
their particular
intonations, accents and
cadences. This
correlation between
speech and music
distinguishes folk songs
of one region from
another. I learned
all songs by heart and
sang them back in the
exams every week.Â
They melted in my blood
and became my natural
music language. The
more I walk into the
music life,the more I
treasure the rich culture
I have learned from my
homeland. When I
became the
Composer-in-Residence of
Chanticleer and was
invited to write the
first work for its
concert program, as well
as another version for
its
Singing-In-The-Schools
program, I decided to
introduce A Set of
Chinese Folk Songs to my
American audiences, and
add a new flavor to
Chanticleer’srich
repertoire. The work
includes ten folk songs,
taken from eight
provinces (Anhui,
Shaanxi, Yunnan, Shanxi,
Taiwan, Sinkiang, Jiangsu
and Guizhou) and five
ethnic groups (Han,
Hasake, Uighur, Miao and
Yi). I arranged them
for choirs (men’s
or children’s
chorus) with various
combinations in voices,
to be sung mostly in
Chinese, some in
English.  From the
mysterious mountain songs
originally sung in the
open air with high and
long notes that can carry
over great distances, the
sweet and delicate
melodies of young love
compared with nature, the
humorous antiphony by
little children, and the
lively dancing tune by
villagers, you may get an
idea of various music
styles in Chinese folk
songs according to
geographic, ethnic and
linguistic differences,
and appreciate the beauty
of the Chinese folk
music. The pure choir
sound and the
sophisticated singing by
Chanticleer, in terms of
pitches, language and
musical expressions,
really attract and
inspire me to create some
more new works in the
years to come. In
thisedition of A Set of
Chinese Folk Songs for
standard SATB mixed choir
(with piano rehearsal
score), I divided these
ten songs into three
volumes. They are
Fengyang Song, The
Flowing Stream, Guessing,
Thinking of My Darling,
Mayila, Jasmine Flower,
Riding on a Mule,
Awariguli, Diu Diu Deng,
andMountain Song and
Dancing Tune.—Chen
Yi.
