Source The Gerhard Samuel Collection was donated to the Stanford Archive of Recorded Sound by Erica Wilhelm in 2009. Sponsor This finding aid was produced with generous financial support from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission. Scope and Contents The conductor and composer Gerhard Samuel (1924-2008) was born in Bonn, Germany, and immigrated with the Samuel family to the United States in February 1939. Exhibiting remarkable musical ability from an early age, Samuel received training with Paul Hindemith at Yale and Serge Koussevitzky at Tanglewood, and studied composition with Howard Hanson at the Eastman School of Music. Following a short time working on Broadway and in France, Samuel rose to prominence in the late 1940s under Antal Doráti and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. The Gerhard Samuel Collection documents his career both as composer and conductor, the latter especially during his tenures with the Oakland Symphony, San Francisco Ballet, Philharmonia Orchestra and Contemporary Music Ensemble at the University of Cincinnati, and, as associate conductor, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Minneapolis Symphony. In particular, the collection demonstrates Samuel's commitment to contemporary music, as with his programming of a great many living composers (many of whom corresponded with Samuel regularly), and his involvement as a founder and musical director with the Cabrillo Music Festival. The Oakland Symphony under Samuel offered the West Coast debut for works by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Terry Riley, Lou Harrison, Darius Milhaud, and many others. This collection contains original recordings of performances, rehearsals, auditions, and lectures, as well as recordings of Samuel's own compositions. In addition, the Samuel Collection features archival materials from throughout his life and career, including business and personal correspondence; concert programs, posters and handbills; photographs; publicity, press clippings and scrapbooks; business records; lecture and teaching materials, and Samuel's entire library of musical scores including original musical manuscripts.

  • AN ANALYSIS of “SEVEN LAST WORDS from the CROSS” (1993) by JAMES MACMILLAN by HERNHO PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial
    AN ANALYSIS OF “SEVEN LAST WORDS FROM THE CROSS” (1993) BY JAMES MACMILLAN BY HERNHO PARK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Choral Music in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Barrington Coleman, Chair Professor Carlos Carrillo, Director of Research Professor Michael Silvers Professor Fred Stoltzfus ABSTRACT James MacMillan is one of the most well-known and successful living composers as well as an internationally active conductor. His musical language is influenced by his Scottish heritage, the Catholic faith, and traditional Celtic folk music, blended with Scandinavian and European composers including Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), Alfred Schnittke (1943-1998), and Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971). His cantata for choir and strings Seven Last Words from the Cross, was commissioned by BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) television, composed in 1993, and premiered in 1994 by Cappella Nova and the BT (British Telecom) Scottish Ensemble. While this piece is widely admired as one of his best achievements by choral conductors and choirs, it is rarely performed, perhaps due to its high level of difficulty for both the string players and singers. The purpose of this dissertation is to present an analysis of the Seven Last Words from the Cross by James MacMillan aimed to benefit choral conductors rather than audiences. Very little has been written about MacMillan's choral works. My hope is to establish a foundation on which future scholars may expand and explore other choral works by MacMillan.

Allegro non troppo ll. Allegretto quasi Minuetto lll. Allegro INTERMISSION (10’) PAUL HINDEMITH (1895-1963) Der Schwanendreher l. "Zwischen Berg und tiefem Tal" ll. "Nun laube, Lindlein, laube!“ lll. “Seid ihr nicht der schwanendreher” Program Notes: Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Brahms' Sonata No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38 is the first of two sonatas for piano and cello. It was begun in 1862 during Brahms' stay in the mountain village of Bad Munster am Stein-Ebernburg, where he wrote the first two movements and an Adagio movement, which was later dropped. After the existing finale was added in 1865, Brahms dedicated the completed sonata to his friend Josef Gansbacher, an amateur cellist and professor at the Singing Akademie in Vienna. The deep sonorities and the haunting melodies of the Allegro non troppo create a mood throughout the movement that is melancholic and sometimes wistful. The opening theme is a beautiful melody which rises from the depths of the cello's low E, soars for a few moments, then wanders its way back down the G and C strings to give way to the piano entrance. Brahms uses chromaticism to charm in the Allegretto quasi Minuetto. Chromatic melodies in F-sharp minor and A major sweep through the cello line, creating appropriately edgy dissonances on the strong beats of the measure. Sighing figures played three times in succession make up the only asymmetrical phrases in the entire piece.
