The 2005 Society of Composers, Inc The University of Montana School of Fine Arts Department of Music presents The 2005 Society of Composers, Inc. Region VIII Conference I Society of Composers, Inc. October 27--29 Music Recital Hall The University of Montana Missoula A Welcoming Message From Your Host... It is, indeed, a pleasure to welcome you to the 2005 Society of Composers, Inc. Region VIII Conference. The University of Montana Department of Music takes great delight in hosting this assemblage of composers from across the country. For me, during the organization of the conference, simple, but central questions continually presented themselves: "Why do we, supposedly rational human beings, regularly repair to our personal, secluded space in search of our music, stare at a blank piece of real or imaginary manuscript paper for hours at a time, scratch at it a bit, and try it again the next day, and the next, until we decide it's finished?" "How do we start?" "How do we end?" "Who really cares?" Edward Elgar, in a half-hearted response to a question regarding inspiration, said, "Music is in the air all around us. You just have to reach out and take as much as you want." (Would that it were so simple a proposition!) In our time, musical sound is such an every-minute-of-every-day experience that, for some, even a live concert is not unlike watching television, or going to the cinema (Where's the popcorn?); for some it has become Satie's "wallpaper music." But, who are we, and what is it we, as contemporary composers, wish to share with each other and the listening public? What is it in the 21 ''Century? I, along with my colleagues, Christopher Hahn, Charles Nichols, and James Randall, invite one and all to the search. Patrick C. Williams, host SCI Region VIII Conference Patrick Williams Patrick C. Williams, a member of the music faculty at The University of Montana­ Missoula since 1975, teaches composition, theory, aural perception, and 16th- and 18th-century counterpoint. He is composer-in-residence and coordinator of the theory/composition area. He received his education at Eastern Michigan University and Eastman School of Music. His teachers have included Samuel Adler, Eugene Kurtz and Anthony Iannaccone. For 18 years, Professor Williams maintained an active teaching and performing schedule as bass-baritone on the voice faculty, singing regularly as soloist in numerous works for chamber ensembles, and oratorios with regional orchestras. Two sets of songs were written for and dedicated to him by American composer and publisher, William Presser. In 1977 he founded the UM Renaissance Ensemble, a choral group specializing in music from the 16th Century, and in 2001, he created the UM Women's Chorus, an ensemble performing music from a full range of musical periods and styles. He received the 1991 Distinguished Faculty Award for the School of Fine Arts. Professor Williams' catalogue of compositions includes numerous works for vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs of every kind, chamber ensembles, wind ensemble, string orchestra and full orchestra. His most recent work includes: A Welshman's Fancy, fore-flat trumpet and strings; two works for wind ensemble: Diversion, and The Pooka; A Celtic Crossing, for Intermediate and Junior High School bands; and Songs and Dances from the Mountain, for solo guitar. As a sidelight to his work in contemporary composition, the composer takes great delight in writing 16th- and 18th-century-style motets, anthems, inventions and fugues as both teaching and performance pieces. A member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, and the Society of Composers, Incorporated, Professor Williams serves on the SCI National Council, and regularly adjudicates state and national composition contests.

  • “A Jesuit Influence in the Fine and Performing Arts: Creighton Universityʼs Contribution to American Jesuit University Education Since 1964.”
    “A Jesuit Influence in the Fine and Performing Arts: Creighton Universityʼs Contribution to American Jesuit University Education since 1964.” A. Introductory Background Particularly in the era of post-Vatican II Catholic Church renewal and aggiornamento since the mid-1960ʼs, Jesuit initiatives in university education reflected the Churchʼs rediscovery of its sacramental imagination and its connection with the fine and performing and literary arts. These movements included, to name a few: a. the revision of the sacred liturgy to be more accessible and transparent to the worshipping community, b. prayer and music in the vernacular language, c. a revised theology of grace, creation, and Incarnation and the Holy Spirit at work in the body of the faithtul, d. metaphorical and analogical expression (music, drama, architecture, the visual and poetic language arts), e. inculturation of the gospel preaching and teaching, f. fresh approaches to Holy Scripture, g. the charismatic renewal h. expression of the sacred and mystical in creative literature and story i. and study of Ignatian sources, spirituality, and in particular The Spiritual Exercises. To a certain extent, the rediscovery of the arts in Jesuit education was a return to the pre-eminence of Jesuit education in the arts before the Suppression of the Society of Jesus (1777-1814) when Jesuit colleges and universities were distinguished by their attention to the arts and architecture, painting, sculpture, music, theater, dance and poetry1 as methods for inculturation of the gospel in word and performance2. The renewed awareness of the arts and education in the arts accompanied the dramatic changes in culture that occurred in the United States and worldwide during the 1960ʼs.

I conducted four pieces as part of the recital, including “The Hands that First Held Mary’s Child” by Dan Forrest, “Remember” from Two Rossetti Songs by Stephen Chatman, “The Moon is Distant from the Sea” by David N. Childs, and “Sleigh Ride” arranged by Andy Beck. Preparing to conduct these pieces involved a lot of work, much of which I have included in this thesis, including: researching biographies of the composers, arrangers, and poets associated with the pieces; doing literary analyses of the texts of the pieces; musical observations of the pieces; and critical reflection concerning rehearsal plans, cultivating the sound of the ensemble, and putting together the recital.
