Evidence of Things Not Seen by Ned Rorem
Evidence of Things Not Seen by Ned Rorem A presentation of baritone solos and other excerpts from the four-voice song cycle, Evidence of Things Not Seen André Chiang, baritone Alonso Saavedra, piano Louisiana State University Doctoral of Musical Arts Candidates The Composer: Ned Rorem Early Life Education - Northwestern University - Curtis Institute Notable Accolades - George Gershwin Memorial Prize in Composition (1948) - Pulitzer Prize for Air Music (1976) - Fulbright Fellowship (1951) - Guggenheim Fellowship (1957) Text and Music: A Notably Close Marriage - Art Song specialty - Diaries The Composer: Ned Rorem (cont.) - “In his diary, Lies, (published by Counterpoint Press in 2000) Rorem said: "My music is a diary no less compromising than my prose. A diary nevertheless differs from a musical composition in that it depicts the moment, the writer's present mood which, were it inscribed an hour later, could emerge quite otherwise. I don't believe that composers notate their moods, they don't tell the music where to go - it leads them....Why do I write music? Because I want to hear it - it's simple as that. Others may have more talent, more sense of duty. But I compose just from necessity, and no one else is making what I need." The Cycle’s Skeleton and Component Parts - Composed mostly in 1997 with two songs from earlier “Boy with a Baseball Glove” (used the melody as a theme for his violin concerto) and “He thinks upon his death” - The thirty-six texts chosen were by twenty-four authors of poetry and prose (with a translation by Rorem himself).
