We perform a diverse repertoire of choral music at a high artistic level, and we advance the choral arts through education, commissions, and community partnerships. Within the chorus, we create a challenging and enjoyable environment where excellence can flourish. I wanted to tell you that I was overjoyed by your performance! It was rich, colorful, expressive, beautifully balanced, with just the right spirit — truly glorious in every way. —Andrea Clearfield, Composer of Into the Blue, March, 2011 Harmonium Choral Society, based in Morris County, is one of New Jersey’s lead- ing choral arts organizations. The 100-voice choral society has been recognized for its musical excellence and innovative programming and has commissioned and pre- miered works by Amanda Harberg, Matthew Harris, Elliot Z. Levine, Harmonium’s composers-in-residence Mark Miller and Marty Sedek, and others. One third of Harmonium’s singing members are currently music educators. Directed by Dr. Anne J. Matlack of Madison, Harmonium’s season consists of three major sub- scription concerts held in December, March, and June, as well as numerous special events and partnerships. Harmonium, known for its eclectic programming, choral excellence, and community spirit, sponsors commissions and musicianship work- shops, as well as an Outreach Chorus which performs in schools, nursing homes and other venues. In support of music and education, Harmonium formed the Morristown Neighborhood House Children’s Chorus in 2009-2011 and continues to partner with this urban after-school program by bringing in performances and collaborating on special events. Other recent creative collaborations have included Mahler’s 2nd Symphony and the premiere of a new choral version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the New Jersey Festival Orchestra, Rutter’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall, and providing the musical soundscape for The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s production of Hamlet (2009). In February 2010, the chorus was selected to perform for the Eastern Division Convention of the American Choral Directors Association in Philadelphia. In July 2011, Harmonium was the choir for the opening convocation of the American Guild of Organists (AGO) convention. Harmonium sponsors an annual High School Student Choral Composition Contest, celebrating its 19th anniversary this season. This innovative program recently won the prestigious Chorus America Education and Outreach Award. The Arts Council of the Morris Area presented Harmonium with the Outstanding Arts Organization Award in 1998, and Dr. Matlack with Outstanding Professional in the Arts in 2003. Harmonium has toured internationally to England and Wales, Eastern Europe, Northern Italy, Spain and Portugal, and Greece and Turkey, and will be travelling to the Baltics at the end of June. 5 Towne Realty Group goes the distance for our clients 511 Millburn Ave, Short Hills, NJ 07078 6 8 Program Notes by Dr. Anne Matlack his year has been a wonderful journey of exploring both our American com- Tposers and Baltic composers in preparation for tour. The theme of this concert embraces some of our favorite works and some new composers we are very excit- ed about, including as always, the talented high school ones. Music has a way of expressing the inexpressible and mysterious, be it secular or sacred, or some mysti- cal combination of both. Come join us on our journey! Kenneth Lampl received his D.M.A. in composition from the Juilliard School in New York City. His first international recognition came with the winning of the Prix Ravel in Composition at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau, France. Many awards soon followed including four ASCAP Composer Awards, two New Jersey State Council for the Arts Fellowships, the Gretchanov Memorial Prize in Composition from the Juilliard School and fellowships from the foundations of Henry Mancini, George Gershwin and Richard Rogers. His orchestral music has been performed by prestigious orchestras from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra to the Tanglewood Festival Orchestra, and his film music includes over 25 feature film scores. In the Most Silent Hour is a meditation on a section of “Letters from a Young Poet” by Rainer Maria Rilke: You ask whether your verses are any good. You ask me. You have asked others before this. You send them to magazines. You compare them with other poems, and you are upset when certain editors reject your work. Now (since you have said you want my advice) I beg you to stop doing that sort of thing. You are looking outside, and that is what you should most avoid right now. No one can advise or help you — no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple “I must,” then build your life in accordance with this necessity… Then take that destiny upon yourself, and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking what reward might come from outside. 9 pivarnik_12-08 9/16/08 9:35 PM Page 1 Piano Instruction by John Pivarnik Piano, Organ, and Music Theory Instruction Beginner to Adult Vocal and Instrumental Accompanying [email protected] 973.377.9068 aul F!

    Hanukkah Happens XXVIII, Modern Masterworks Temple Emanuel, Newton Dec. 24, 2018 Program Notes The Program The Zamir Chorale of Boston and Cantor Elias Rosemberg are delighted to present an exciting concert featuring some of the greatest synagogue music of the past hundred years. The program highlights a wide variety of styles. Jeremiah Klarman’s “Hodu” gives us the Hallel in a style that combines a classical aesthetic with Hassidic, rock and jazz influences. Ken Lampl’s “Adson Olam” and Ari Sussman’s “Yihyu Leratson” weave a trance-like mystical aura. Ernest Bloch’s “Kedushah” is from his neo-romantic choral orchestral masterpiece, Sacred Service. Max Helfman’s “Hashkivenu,” Max Janowski’s “Avinu Malkenu,” and Michael Isaacson’s “Sim Shalom” emphasize beautiful lyrical melodies. Israel Goldfarb gave us many memorable congregational tunes, and we will hear his well-known “Shalom Aleichem,” composed just 100 years ago. We mark another centenary, the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein, with his “Hashkivenu,” “Kedushah,” and “Secret Songs,” as well as the ebullient “Hatsi Kaddish” by Bernstein’s assistant Jack Gottlieb, and the magnificent dramatic “Un’saneh Tokef” by Bernstein’s mentor, Prof. Solomon Braslavsky. The Composers Kenneth Lampl (b. 1964) is an American-born composer and lecturer known for his film, television and choral music. He is currently head of the Australian National University School of Music in Canberra. After an early career as a jazz musician, he studied composition at Rutgers and Juilliard.

Rio Conchos was in many ways a reworking of 1961’s The Comancheros (FSMCD Vol. 2, No. 6, music by Elmer Bernstein), but it lacked the buoyant presence of John Wayne and told a far darker and more nihilistic tale of social outcasts thrown together on a mission to find a hidden community of Apache gun-runners. It was the dawn of a new breed of grittier, more psychologically hon- est westerns, and Jerry Goldsmith was the perfect composer to provide these arid and violent tales with a new musical voice. Goldsmith had already scored several westerns before Rio Conchos, including the acclaimed contemporary west- ern Lonely Are the Brave. But Rio Conchos saw Goldsmith marshal- ing his skills at writing complex yet melodically vibrant action music, with several early highlights of his musical output contained by Jerry Goldsmith within. The composer’s title music is characteristically spare and One-Time Pressing of 3,000 Copies folksy, belying the savage intensity of what is to follow, yet his main theme effortlessly forms the backbone for the score’s violent set- pieces and provides often soothing commentary on the decency and nobility buried beneath the flinty surfaces of the film’s reluc- tant heroes.
