Alex
Freeman's (b. 1972)
Cathedral of Spring for
chamber choir (2019) to
poems of e.e. cummings
and Robert Frost was
commissioned and
premiered by Somnium
Ensemble. The composer
tells: For the
celebration of the 10th
anniversary of Somnium
Ensemble (Finland), I was
commissioned to write a
piece with spring as a
central theme. While
contemplating that and
perusing appropriate
poetry, I was inspired by
memories of the
night-time sky in early
spring--the warm air, the
teeming, buzzing energy
of life all around, and
an expansive dome of
stars overhead. I then
imagined that moment in
time as a kind of sacred
space; this is the point
where the cathedral
notion came to mind. The
frenetic and joyous
poetry of e.e. cummings,
from his Epithalamion,
gives an exclamatory
introduction to the set,
followed by his vision of
spring from the point of
view of giddy children in
his iconic poem, [in
Just-]. We then take a
moment to contemplate the
ephemerality of all this
beauty (spring giveth and
spring taketh away, i.e.
an offertorium of sorts);
Robert Frost's
Blue-Butterfly Day places
us in a moment where, by
chance, we find ourselves
enveloped by a delicately
fluttering swarm of
butterflies. Peaceful and
still, yet in constant
flux, we spend a some
time taking that
phenomenon in, while also
experiencing a twinge of
the realisation that this
is truly fleeting. The
final movement, returning
to a later stanza from
Epithalamion, cummings's
sparkling paean to May is
set as a kind of final
anthem..

(712-770 in Tang
Dynasty).
It's like
the welcome rain on a
quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. This music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
60-70 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehersal A and B
(measures 1 - 41)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
woodwind instruments
response to the rustling
of fast moving notes on
muted string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokes produced by
metallic string sound and
high piano gestures. The
music in Rehersal C and D
(measures 42-87)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a little light
in the boat is shimmering
on the lake... The
breathy key slaps on the
flute creates a
mysterious atmosphere, in
a dialogue with other
instruments. The cello
glissandi recite the poem
in the tone of Mandarin,
echoed by the string
harmonics. The music in
Rehersal E, F, G (m 88 -
161) is a toccata,
starting with the piano,
which builds up a big
shape, to reach the
climax in m. 116, and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda
(Rehersal H, m. 162 - the
end), which stands on the
energetic peak at the end
of the
piece. Commissioned by
the Music From Copland
House ensemble, supported
by a grant from the
NYSCA’s
Composer’s
Commissions program in
2002, my mixed ensemble
piece Happy Rain on a
Spring Night is written
for all five instruments
in the ensemble: flute,
clarinet, violin, cello
and piano, and premiered
on Oct. 18, 2004, at
Merkin Hall in New York.
 The musical
imagination came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in the
Tang Dynasty. Happy
Rain on a Spring Nightby
Du Fu (712-770 in the
Tang Dynasty)Â Happy
rain comes in time,When
spring is in its
prime.With night breeze
it will fall,And quietly
moisten all.Clouds darken
wild roads,Light
brightens a little
boat.Saturated at
dawn,With flowers
blooming the
town. (English

the principle of the

constructed the piece

 The GS falls onto the
beginning of the climax
section of the piece,

The

soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin

neverslow down), the
tension is being built up
from the quiet background
in the beginning, tothe
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
image in Rehearsal A and
B (measures39-80)
represents the first four
lines of the poem. The
wind instruments response
to therustling of fast
moving notes on muted
string triplets,
decorated by occasional
strokesproduced by
metallic string sound and
high woodwind gestures.
The music in RehearsalC
and D (measures 81-126)
represents the next two
lines of the poem. It's
so dark, a littlelight in
the boat is shimmering on
the lake... The breathy
sound and key slaps on
theflutes create a
mysterious atmosphere, in
a dialogue with other
instruments. The
celloglissandi recite the
poem in the tone of
Mandarin, echoed by the
string harmonics.
Themusic in Rehearsal F,
G and H (m 129-202) is a
toccata, starting in the
orchestra (led bythe
marimba), which builds up
a big shape, to reach the
climax in m. 157
(Rehearsal G,the location
of the Golden Section,
according to the length
of the music
withoutcadenzas), and
keeps the vivid scene
towards the coda (from
Rehearsal I, m. 203),
whichstands on the
energetic peak until the
clear cutoff on measure
239, followed by the
short,yet powerful solo
conclusion with the
lingering echo produced
by the high
stringharmonics. On the
top, there is a recall of
the three note motive in
the sound ofwonderland,
touched by the motor-on
vibraphone
meaningfully.The music is
written for 2 flutes, 2
oboes, 2 clarinets (in
Bb), 2 bassoons, 4 French
horns (in F), 2 trumpets
(in Bb), 3 trombones,
tuba, harp, 3 percussion
players (Perc.

The
violin concerto is
commissioned by Friends
of Dresden Music
Foundation for American
soloist Mira Wang and the
New York Philharmonic and
Staatskapelle Dresden as
an American commemoration
of the reconstruction of
the Dresden Frauenkirche,
60 years after its
destruction in World War
II by American and
British Forces. The world
premiere is given at the
Semperoper in Dresden,
Germany, on October 9, 10
& 11, 2005, conducted
by Ivan Fischer. Full of
excitement and inner
power, the musical image
is vivid, energetic,
sometimes lyrical and
sometimes dramatic. The
major angular thematic
material (a three note
motive) consists of big
leaps in interval (a
perfect fourth downward
and then a minor seventh
upward, first introduced
by the violin solo in
measures 27-29). Except
for the cadenzas which
stand at the middle
(Rehearsal E, measure
127) and the two ends of
the piece as a frame, the
virtuosic violin solo
line is always
accompanied by the ever
moving and growing
textures in the
background. The rests
between long and short
phrases symbolize the
space in Chinese
paintings. The Beijing
Opera reciting tune, and
the fingerings to produce
sliding tones in the
performance of the
Chinese fiddle erhu are
also borrowed in the
writing and the
performing of the western
instruments. The musical
imagination of the violin
concerto came from an
ancient Chinese poem with
the same title, written
by Du Fu (712-770) in
Tang Dynasty. Happy Rain
on a Spring Night by Du
Fu (712-770 in Tang
Dynasty) Happy rain comes
in time, When spring is
in its prime. With night
breeze it will fall, And
quietly moisten all.
Clouds darken wild roads,
Light brightens a little
boat. Saturated at dawn,
With flowers blooming the
town. (English
translation by Chen Yi
from the original poem in
Chinese) The following is
the poem in its original
Chinese form, and the
detailed introduction on
the structural plan of
the violin concerto
Spring in Dresden. It's
like the welcome rain on
a quiet spring night that
nurtures the budding
seeds, our new society is
pushing us forward to the
new future. The music
reflects the scenes and
the expression according
to the meaning of the
poem when it's being
unfolded line by line.
Although the tempo is set
63 quarter notes per
minute throughout (played
vividly, never slow
down), the tension is
being built up from the
quiet background in the
beginning, to the
sustained climax towards
the end. The musical
