The Work
is a book of lyrics and
illustrations by the late
Scott Hutchison,
lyricist, vocalist and
songwriter of Frightened
Rabbit. This paperback
follows the sold-out
limited hardback edition
and presents the band's
complete lyrics
(including B-sides and
rarities) with
handwritten excerpts by
Scott, alongside his
illustrations. The book
is meant both as a
celebration of and
tribute to Scott's
unbridled creativity. It
aims to fulfill his
wishes by being the book
that he wanted to create
and had spoken of
creating before his
death.
Readers
are advised that The Work
includes content about
topics that some may find
upsetting, including
references to
suicide.
Se
eing this book come to
life has been something
of a bittersweet
experience. Reading the
lyrics without music
really brings home the
stark reality of what
Scott was going through
and at the same time
highlights the talent of
someone who I consider to
be one of the best
songwriters in the world.
This would've been a
different release had
Scott been involved but
we all felt it was
important that his lyrics
be celebrated and given
the spotlight they
deserve. As Scott has
said, these words were
always meant to be
accompanied by music, but
the impact of digesting
them without is no less
great. Pick up this book
of words, hold it, share
it and immerse yourself
in the world Scott
created by opening not
only his heart but his
whole soul to the
world. Grant
Hutchison (Scott's
brother and drummer of
Frightened
Rabbit)

This
large-scale
three-movement work,
commissioned by Ray
Cramer and the Indiana
University Wind Ensemble,
embodies the
transformation of silence
into sound. The opening
movement is sparse,
utilizing mallet
percussion, harp, and
piano to create a
floating sense of
timelessness. Featuring
extensive solo flute,
this floating texture
gradually builds over
several minutes,
ultimately launching
itself into a grandiose,
warm, harmonically
consonant blanket of
sound. The second
movement continues the
focus on solo flute, and
again opens slowly,
gradually gaining
momentum, but at a faster
pace than in the first
movement. The music
spirals upward and
outward, but instead of
reaching a plateau, winds
itself out and comes to a
grinding halt in the
upper range of the
ensemble. Five brief,
solemn chords conclude
the movement, which
immediately erupts into
Movement III, music of
unceasing, unsettling,
motion, propelled by a
driving ostinato which is
repeatedly interrupted by
bittersweet moments of
lyricism, all the while
pushing toward an
unforgiving climax. The
movements may also be
performed separately.
There is no explicit
narrative to the piece,
though many particular
elements do have personal
quasi-biographical
significance. Ultimately,
this is music of both
personal and musical
transformation.

Abram Joseph Ryan
(1838-1886).
Victor
Johnson captures the
mystery and nuance of the
bittersweet poem, Wake Me
a Song, by American poet,
Abram Joseph Ryan.
Nuance, text, and
Johnson's rich harmonies
paired with intertwining
textures make this a
noteworthy addition to
any program. Also
available for SATB Voices
(CM9561). About the
Author Abram Joseph Ryan
was born Matthew Abraham
Ryan on February 5, 1838
in Hagerstown, Maryland.
As a young man, Ryan and
his family moved west St.
Louis, Missouri, where he
was educated at the
Christian Brothers
School. He studied for
the priesthood at Niagra
University in New York
State and was ordained a
priest in the Vincentian
order on November 1,
1856. He taught theology,
first at Niagra
university and then at
the diocesan seminary in
Cape Girardeau, Missouri,
until the beginning of
the war between the
states. Father Ryan
enlisted in the army on
September 1, 1862, and
served as a chaplain
throughout the conflict,
carrying the wounded to
safety and performing
last rites on the
battlefield. His first
piece of poetry was
inspired by the death of
a younger brother while
serving in the army.
After the war, he
established a weekly
literary magazine in
which most of his poetry
was published. He also
put out several volumes
of poetry, including
Father Ryan's Poems and A
Crown for Our Queen.
Father Ryan died on April
22, 1886 at a Franciscan
monastery in Louisville,
Kentucky. About the Song
Wake Me A Song is an
inspired and sensitive
setting of the
19th-century poem by
Abram Joseph Ryan. It
features sweeping melodic
lines, rich harmonies,
and a flowingly beautiful
accompaniment. To master
a performance of this
selection, singers must
perform very
expressively, paying
close attention to such
musical aspects as phrase
shaping, the rise and
fall of the melodic line,
blending and proper
intonation between
sections. One strategy
that could be used to
ensure proper phrasing is
the idea of Painting the
Phrase. The singer should
make a motion as if they
have a paintbrush in
their hand and paint the
melodic line and phrase
shape as if they are
painting with a nice,
flowing brush stroke. One
could think about
painting a rainbow or an
arch to show the rise and
fall of the line and/or
phrase. The director can
also show this gesture
while conducting to
reinforce this
concept. About the

Natha
niel Dett was among
America’s leading
composers in the early
20th century, and
MAGNOLIA SUITE is a
beautiful example of his
rich, hybrid style.
Deeply inspired by the
music and mission of
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor,
Dett’s piano music
springs from the late
Romantic traditions of
florid texture and
embellishment, along with
programmatic titles and
raw emotion. It is
notable for melody
writing inspired by and
paraphrasing
African-American song.
The 18-minute MAGNOLIA
SUITE contains five
movements, any of which
may also be performed
separately. This edition
by Lara Downes provides a
clean, new engraving that
corrects the many errors
and unclear indications
appearing in the
historical
printing. Robert
Nathaniel Dett was born
in a place that was built
on freedom. The little
village of Drummondville,
Ontario was founded by
enslaved Africans
– Dett’s
ancestors among them
– who traveled the
Underground Railroad out
of the American South
into Canada. Their
journey brought them to a
safe haven, a place where
fortunes and futures
could be transformed in
the span of one
generation, to lives full
of new possibilities. You
could call it “the
place where the rainbow
ends,†which is the
title of the last
movement of Dett’s
Magnolia Suite.When Dett
wrote these pieces, he
was a young teacher at
Lane College in
Tennessee, a historically
Black college that had
been founded in 1882, the
year of his birth. A
place built on freedom,
with the purpose of
educating
newly-emancipated slaves
– a place designed
to nurture the blossoming
of ideas, the vibrant
flowering of minds set
free. This music is
inspired by the gorgeous
splendor of the magnolia
blooms on that college
campus, and also by the
shared histories,
experiences, and
aspirations of the
community that Dett found
there.These five pieces
pay affectionate tribute
to lineage and legacy.
They express gratitude
for the bittersweet
beauties of the present;
nostalgia for the past (a
bit romanticized, as the
past always is); and an
effervescent optimism for
the future that awaits us
in the place where the
rainbow ends.
