Eisler. Known for his Marxist politics, Eisler was exiled in turn by three countries—and Stanford Live talked with with Hell’s three of the most powerful ideologies of Fury director Tim Albery about bringing the twentieth century: Nazi Germany, Eisler’s life and music to the stage. McCarthyist United States, and communist East Germany. How did the idea originate to bring Eisler’s music back to life? A highly theatrical recreation of Eisler’s remarkable journey of expatriation Listening to a recording of The Hollywood and migration, Hell’s Fury resonates in Songbook for the first time at the a world of borders and ever-increasing start of this century, I immediately fear of the other. The centerpiece of sensed the inherent theatricality of the the production is Eisler’s ironically titled songs. As I learned more about Eisler’s Hollywood Songbook. Written while he extraordinary story, the notion of a “day
18 3 in the life” of Eisler began to take shape. I was attracted by the fact that Eisler, although a very distinguished composer, is largely unknown. If fictional, his life story would seem utterly incredible; the fact that, with all its unlikely twists and turns, it’s a true story makes it all the more surprising and strangely exhilarating. And his coruscating self-knowledge deflects any potential sentimentality at his cruel fate.
What directorial challenges or surprises emerged as you balanced Eisler’s story with the historical context and its contemporary echoes, as well as language and art?
As the narrative began to evolve, the happiest surprise was finding that many of the songs, though all written in Hollywood in the 1940s, applied equally well to Eisler’s later life in communist East Germany. It is something of a liberty to repurpose the songs in this song of the show was crucial. “Elegy 1—Hell’s Fury way, but once rehearsals began, their 1943” is a cry of pain at the relentless premiered at use outside of their original context cycle of history: “From age to age Luminato in seemed entirely appropriate. we destroy our neighbors because Toronto over the we fear them.” With this song, Eisler summer.

The response of many governments is to deliberately breed an atmosphere of fear and contempt for those who can be branded as “not one of us” on grounds of ethnicity, religion, or political views, which is the essence of McCarthyism. Can we really say that fascism or uncontrolled capitalism are merely relics of the twentieth century? And do we not hear contemporary politicians glad, once again, to call themselves socialist, a term that was a death knell for electability only a few years ago? The cycle of history does not stop. Eisler’s life story is mirrored in the lives of countless others today, and it is bracing, salutary, and moving to hear in his songs how relevant his experience remains.

Steinbeck studied at Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station in Pacific Grove, where he developed an understanding of marine biology and ecology that would inform all of his future works. While in California, Steinbeck also befriended biologist and writer Ed Ricketts, who published his first book, Between Pacific Tides, through the Stanford University Press. Readers will find traces of Ricketts in many of Steinbeck’s works— including in the character of Doc in Cannery Row. “Steinbeck got a very well-rounded education at Stanford,” says Jones. “That allowed him to think deeply about the arts and the sciences, and man’s place in the universe.” New York City-based radio host joined the band onstage for a conversation about their music and its connection to Steinbeck’s writing.

28 “Music is something people involuntarily use to bind together. These aren’t songs of the elite. They’re the song of the common man.”
—Johnny Howard, The King’s Singers.
The Kings Singers’ Johnny Howard says that songs operate like internal compasses or homing devices in troubled times. “Music is something people involuntarily use to bind together. These aren’t songs of the elite. They’re the song of the common man.” He goes on to compare repertoire in the program to songs sung today by people in Hong Kong who learn vocal music from the internet and join in street protests to sing in unison. “It’s evidence that democracy doesn’t belong to one country or person, it belongs to everyone,” he says.
The Kings Singers’ program highlights music from the Protestant Reformation 2 in the 1500s, Apartheid-era South Africa, an amazing 1980s event in the Baltic States known as the Singing Revolution, and recovered songs of the Scottish Highlands. William Byrd’s “Civitas sancti tui,” against an edict forbidding their Howard says, is “arguably the most native language when over a hundred During the Protestant Reformation, beautiful piece where he mourns thousand people gathered to sing “Mu as England moved tumultuously away the death of the Catholic faith.” Isamaa On Minu Arn.” And the people of from Catholicism, choral works shifted Ireland, cast from their homeland and from highly polyphonic, florid music Other works demonstrate the without instruments, preserved identity, with enormous variation between transformative efficacy of protest culture, and language by holding onto lines sung in Latin, to simpler music songs.

Howard says, “You allegorical; for example, expressing national anthem and is now sung in have crazy lyrics in very fast melodies— secret lament over the dismantling two indigenous languages. Estonians like ‘you’re too drunk to move,’ or of Catholicism through accounts of crushed under Soviet rule in the ridiculous, farcical stuff. It’s incredibly Jerusalem’s architectural destruction. 1980s engaged in peaceful defiance quick so people could still dance to it.”
29 No one will be dancing, but people will nonetheless be moved by Orlando Consort’s soulful chansons, poems, and sacred music drawn from the brief 19 years of Joan of Arc’s life, long an icon for feminists and others. Grieg selected a cappella works whose tempo and tone resonate in tandem with the black-and- white silent film’s tight shots, depictions of long-suffering Joan and shouting inquisitors during her infamous trial. After leading the French troops in their defeat of the British occupation forces in response to heavenly visions, Joan was brought before a church court, tortured, and subsequently burned at the stake in 1431. Grieg says, “The voice seems particularly apt for this film: Joan heard voices; the courtroom drama is all about dialogue; the priests try to put words into Joan’s mouth; and the silent film always implies the voice, even if it doesn’t actualize it.”
Because proof of tempo or dynamics markings in music of the early fifteenth century is rare, Greig’s selections find leeway. “We don’t take anything ridiculously fast or slow to make it ‘fit’ a scene, preferring on occasion to finish a piece early to make it fit. My rule of Join us thumb was that any adjustments I made OPEN HOUSE would not offend the original composer.” With the film and story always primary, the dimly lit singers contribute December 7 essential vitality. Greig notes the 10am-12pm singers’ individual and collective “sonic fingerprints” are produced by lungs, Preschool-Grade 4 throats, teeth, tongues, and ambient air. 2pm-4pm “The real and perceived source of the Grades 5-8 voice is the human body, in contrast to the sound of an instrument.

Music Director William Fred Scott describes “a serious concert” that does not include “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer,” but does provide familiarity. “The end is always a carol you think you know. Even in a Swedish or Czech carol, when people may not know the language, they have a feeling of delight. There’s a lovely warmth, a feeling that we’ve been there before and the story is always a homecoming.”
From the ensemble’s gentle “Babe of Bethlehem” to Steven Sametz’s rowdy and raucous “Gaudete” to Spanish villancicos (Christmas carols), the music is either from the Old World or written by composers working in the California missions. “We have three Spanish pieces,” says Scott, “one that is part of our heritage as Californians, one folkish, 3 one folk dance quality.” Remarkably, carols from all over the world reflect the 1—The King’s universality of the holy story. “It’s musical Singers’ representation that has larger purpose,” performance will says Scott. “It’s a global world of wonder, highlight music awe, hopefulness, joy, and happiness.” from important eras in global Covering a wide territory of cultures, history.
