  • The Boston Modern Orchestra Project's January 2008 Premiere of Ezra Sims's Concert Piece II, Featuring Clarinetists Michael
    The Boston Modern Orchestra Project’s January 2008 premiere of Ezra Sims’s Concert Piece II, featuring clarinetists Michael Norsworthy and Amy Advocat, was one of the most thrilling concert experiences I can remember. I’ve been an admirer of Sims’s music for many years, and I am familiar with his distinctive microtonal style—certain characteristic intervals and harmonies, ostinati, and phrase contours. But despite my familiarity, I found myself laughing out loud with pleasure at this latest, and very grand, example of Sims’s continued resolve and daring. Years ago the Boston Globe music critic Richard Buell called Sims’s music “subversive,” and I believe in a sense he was right. With certain aspects of his music Sims sticks to tradition; for example, Concert Piece II is a double concerto with classic instrumentation, in ABA form, with clear motivic development, arching “antecedent” and “consequent” phrases, even tonality (albeit of an idiosyncratic kind). However, within conventional parameters such as these Sims produces sonorities that subvert our expectations on a visceral level. From the very opening of Concert Piece II, over undulating and pulsating microtonal figures in the strings and bassoons, the clarinets begin trading off strange, soaring lines with intervals such as 1/3 tones, 2/3 tones, and 1/6-tone-augmented minor thirds. The melodies are elegant, articulate, intensely expressive, and even seem to have familiar contours—yet they are also startlingly alien. This feeling is somehow underscored when the oboe enters with its own wild take on the theme, and then even further when later the violins, flutes, and oboe take up the thematic line in unison.

If only I could predict future trends! And yet, today's music depends upon whom you ask.

Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.

I began a tradition of featuring faculty soloists as well as winners of the annual student Concerto Competition, now with an award offered by Olivas Music, providing the orchestra the opportunity to perform significant concerto literature as well as learning the art of accompanying. In 2012, I developed a new chamber orchestra called the “UTEP Virtuosi” focusing on significant string orchestra repertoire. I initiated a concert featuring music in movies and for stage in which that music is presented and integrated via multimedia with lectures and video. It has become the capstone event for the year featuring the artistry of faculty soloists and comments per classical music used in movies and music composed exclusively for that medium. Each year six performances are scheduled. Repertoire for each year covers all eras and styles.

Born in Tel Aviv in 1975, Dorman has since transplanted to the United States, where he is currently an as- sociate professor at Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg College. But whether composing music about the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) or the American Civil War (both of which he has done, for the record) Dorman identifies Israel as home. Through his music, this sense of home becomes more a feeling, one almost utopian in its endless urge for a hopeful future in spite of harsh reality.

  • Berlioz Program Single Pages
    Program Richard Strauss Also Sprach Zarathustra 1864–1948 Fanfare/Introduction 1896 Eric Kujawsky, Redwood Symphony Also know as “Sunrise” as heard in the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey. It was hard to resist the temptation to show off our four brass bands with this rousing musical gem. Felix Mendelssohn Hebrides Overture 1809–1847 1830 Eric Townell, Rochester Oratorio Society Also known as the Fingal’s Cave Overture, the work was inspired by a cavern known as Fingal’s Cave on Staffa, an island in the Hebrides archipelago located off the west coast of Scotland. On a “Grand Tour” of Europe, the 21-year-old composer was struck by its beauty and immediately jotted down a sketch reflecting his musical impression of the place. Hector Berlioz Shepherd’s Farewell 1803–1869 from L’Enfance du Christ 1850 Robert Gurney, San Francisco Lyric Chorus The Childhood of Christ is an oratorio based on the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt. This selection is a farewell and wish for safe passage sung to the Christ Child by the shepherds as the Holy Family is about to depart. Arrigo Boito Mefistofele 1894–1918 Final Chorus 1868 Adrian G. Horn, Finger Lakes Choral Festival As the aging Faust approaches the end of his life, he dreams of a tranquil and fruitful world, free of evil. Mephistopheles becomes alarmed and urges Faust to come away with him, but his temptations are thwarted as trumpets herald the appearance of a heavenly choir. Faust, enraptured by the celestial vision, begs for deliverance from evil and is granted redemption as his dying wish.
