Vuelie Christophe Beck and Frode Fjellheim, arr. Austin Nikirk ‘20 conducted by Austin Nikirk ‘20 Vuelie is inspired by the vocal tradition of the Sámi people of Scandinavia and Russia. Melodic phrases, called “Yoik,” are repeated while surrounding harmonies or countermelodies interlock and merge with each other and the Yoik. The syllables used in a Yoik have no meaning, and are merely present to facilitate the melody. Beginning with the whole group in unison on the melody, Vuelie expands into a celebratory yet pensive exploration of transitions, and we hope it will set the tone for a concert honoring the concept of solstice. -AN

Solstice Carole Kim Baryluk (b. 1959) A fire is burning, the long night draws near. All who need comfort are welcome by here. We’ll dance ‘neath the stars and toast the past year for the spirit of solstice is still living here. We’ll count all our blessings while the Mother lays down with snow as her blanket covering the ground. Thanks to the Mother for the life that she brings. She’ll waken to warm us again in the spring. The poor and the hungry, the sick and the lost; these are our children, no matter the cost. Come by the fire, the harvest to share, for the spirit of solstice is still living here.

Let the Life I’ve Lived Gwyneth Walker (b. 1947) conducted by Austin Nikirk ‘20 Let the life I’ve lived speak for me. When I come to the end of the road, And I lay down my heavy load, let the life I’ve lived speak for me. Let the friends I’ve made speak for me. When I come to the end of the road, And I lay down my heavy load, let the friends I’ve made speak for me. Lay down your burden, and rest with the setting sun. All the beauty of your life will shine when the day is done. Let the love I’ve shared speak for me. Let the love that I’ve tried to share, And all this life of joy and care speak for me. Let the life I’ve lived speak for me. The Snow Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Ari Isaacman-Beck and Marana Tso ‘21, violin; Timothy Foster, piano O snow, which sinks so light, brown earth is hid from sight. O soul, be thou as white as snow; O snow, which falls so slow, Dear earth quite warm below; O heart, so keep thy glow beneath the snow. O snow, in thy soft grave sad flow’rs the winter brave; O heart, so sooth and save, as does the snow. The snow must melt, must go, fast, fast as water flow. Not thus, my soul, O sow thy gifts to fade like snow. O snow, thou’rt white no more, thy sparkling too, is o’er; O soul, be as before, was bright the snow. Then as the snow all pure, O heart be, but endure; through all the years full sure, not as the snow.

Voice on the Wind Sarah Quartel (b. 1983) Austin Nikirk ‘20, drum I heard a voice on the summer wind, who she is I can’t explain. I heard a voice on the summer wind, blowing free and blowing wild. I heard a voice on the summer wind, strength and spirit in her song. I heard a voice on the summer wind, with a song I seem to know. I heard a voice on the summer wind, sounds familiar like my own. I heard a voice on the summer wind, moves me like she knows me well. I am the voice on the summer wind, strong and sure is where I stand. I am the voice.

Carol: O Come All Ye Faithful Audience and Choirs O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, o come ye, to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, born the King of angels; O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above. Glory to God, all glory in the highest, O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, O come let us adore him, Christ the Lord. — — — — Concert Choir — — — — Gaudete J. David Moore (b. 1962) (Sung in Latin) Rejoice! Rejoice! Christ is born of the virgin Mary, rejoice! The time of grace that we desired is here. Let us reverently render songs of joy. While nature wondered, God has been made human. The world has been restored by Christ’s reigning. The closed gate of Ezekiel is crossed. Salvation is found in the place from which the light came. So let our assembly now sing psalms in offering; let it bless the Lord. Hail to our king!

In the Bleak Midwinter Gustav Holst (1874-1934) (Audience, please do not sing this carol with the choir) In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone. Snow had fallen, snow on snow. In the bleak midwinter, long, long ago. Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; But his mother only, in her maiden bliss worshipped the beloved with a kiss. What can I give, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; If I were a wise man, I would do my part; what can I give, give my heart.

Music in the Night Elaine Hagenberg (b. 1979) Timothy Foster, piano When stars pursue their solemn flight, Oft in the middle of the night, A strain of music visits me, hushed in a moment silverly,– Such rich and rapturous sounds as make The very soul of silence ache With longing for the melody; Or how or whence those tones be heard, Hearing, the slumbering soul is stirred, As when a swiftly passing light Startles the shadows into flight; While one rememberance suddenly Thrills through the melting memory,– A strain of music in the night. Carol: Angels We Have Heard On High Audience and Choirs Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains. Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Shepherds why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be which inspire your heavenly song? Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Swingle Song Darmon Meader (b. 1961)

Ocho Kandelikas Flory Jagoda (b. 1923), arr. Thom Mariner (Sung in Ladino)

Beautiful Chanuka is here, eight candles for me. Refrain: One candle, two candles, three candles, four candles, five candles, six candles, seven candles... eight candles for me! Many parties will be held, with joy and pleasure. Refrain... We will eat pastelikos with almonds and honey. Refrain...

Blue Moon Richard Rogers, arr. David Blackwell

Blue moon you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for, You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for, And then there suddenly appeared before me, The only one my arms will ever hold. I heard somebody whisper “Please adore me,” And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold! Blue moon, now I’m no longer alone, Without a dream in my heart without a love of my own. The World For Christmas Anders Edenroth (b.1963)

It’s the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature is stirring not even a mouse, The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, but hopes for Saint Nicholas I wish I could share. I am new to this world, I arrived here this morn, to this beautiful planet though beat up and torn. I don’t need a gift need no more than I’ve got, hear the unspoken wish from a tiny tiny tot.

I only want the world for Christmas, The blue-green forever turning world for Christmas, nothing more, nothing less I want it for keeps and, I promise to share, so that everyone who wants can cuddle and care. I only want the world for Christmas, The blue-green for ever turning world for Christmas, to restore to repossess, Please make it last, my fate is in your hands, oh give me a present for the future.

You could follow your heart but you follow a whim, and fill up your stockings way over the brim, Ignoring the signs on a frail crystal ball, you wish away, wish away, wish away all. The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow, gives a luster of midday to objects below, Why your eyes won’t see when they’re given all this light, I wonder, I wonder, this very special night.

Carol: Silent Night Audience and Choirs

Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace; sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night! Wondrous star, lend thy light; With the angels let us sing, Alleluia to our King; Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born! — — — — College Choir — — — —

Es Müssen Sich Freuen Friedrich Erhard Niedt (1674-1717) (Sung in German) All those must be happy and joyful who seek you and love your salvation, Must always say: the Lord is highly praised! Praised are you, Jesus Christ, that you as a man were born of a virgin; this is true, This pleases the host of angels. Lord, have mercy.

Ave Maris Stella Trond Kverno (b. 1945) (Sung in Latin) Hail, Star of the Sea, loving Mother of God, and Virgin immortal, Heaven’s blissful portal.

Receiving that “Ave” from Gabriel’s lips, reversing the name of “Eva,” establish us in peace. Break the chains of sinners, bring forth Light for the blind: Drive away our evils, and ask for all good things. Show thyself to be mother, that, through thee He may accept our prayers, He who, born for us, chose to be your Son.

O incomparable Virgin, meek above all others, make us, freed from our faults, meek and chaste. Keep our life pure, make our journey safe, so that, seeing Jesus, we may rejoice together forever. Let there be praise to God the Father and glory to Christ the most High, And to the Holy Spirit, and to the Three be one honor.

Hail [Mary] full of grace! The Lord is with you! Blessed are you among women!

The Winter’s Night Nicholas Myers (b. 1987)

Deep in the night, quiet and still, while all the world’s asleep, dreaming of what they will, Out from the warmth, out in the cold, snowflakes are falling, covering the earth, Telling the world winter has come. Making the earth turn to new from old, tapping the window, brushing the ground, Soft as a dream, sweet as a dream, dreams pure as white, white as the snow.

Hodie Christus Natus Est Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) (Sung in Latin) Today Christ is born: today the Savior appeared: Today on earth the angels sing, and the archangels rejoice: Today the righteous rejoice, saying: Glory to God in the highest. Alleluia. Carol: It Came upon the Midnight Clear Audience and Choirs It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven’s all gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.

Still throught the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats o’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophets seen of old, When with the evercircling years shall come the time foretold When peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing.

Mass in C-Major (K.317) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

Kyrie Austin Nikirk ‘20, Zachary de Besche ‘22, soloists Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Gloria Austin Nikirk ‘20, Alexandra Charney ‘22, Zachary de Besche ‘22, Benjamin Fruchtl ‘20, soloists Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we worship you, we glorify you. We give thanks to you, according to Your great glory.

Lord God, King of Heaven, God the Father almighty. Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father. Who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Who takes away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Who is seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us.

Credo Austin Nikirk ‘20, Lily Zhou ‘23, Zachary de Besche ‘22, James Lamb ‘21, soloists I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things, visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, Born of the Father before all ages. God from God, light from light, true God from true God. Begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father: by whom all things were made. Who for us, and for our salvation, came down from heaven. And was incarnate by the Holy Spirit, of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate: he suffered, and was buried. And on the third day he rose again, according to the Scripture. And he rose into heaven: and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again in glory, to judge the living and the dead: And of His kingdom there will be no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life: Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. Who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified: Who spoke to us through the Prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I await the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

I believe in one God, Amen.

Dona Nobis Pacem Austin Nikirk ‘20, Alexandra Charney ‘22, Zachary de Besche ‘22, Benjamin Fruchtl ‘20, soloists Grant us peace.

— — — Program Notes — — — The winter solstice is the longest night of the year. Since ancient times people have celebrated this day as a marker of the past and the renewal to come. Many cultures venerate winter and the solstice with images of night and dawn, snow, transformation, and a sense of hope for the future. We can consider winter as the “nighttime of the year.” Christmas too fits with this theme, with the advent of Christ signifying new hope in the world. Our concert contemplates these themes from many perspectives.

Audeamus, our upper-voice choir, begins the concert with Vuelie, a piece reminiscent of the frozen lands of Scandinavia, and continues with a procession on Solstice Carole, which illuminates the theme of the concert while evoking a sense of community and comfort. Let the Life I’ve Lived is about living an aspirational life. The Snow evokes a landscape shrouded in snow, but destined to melt, leaving the hope of a persevering heart. Voice on the Wind carries a message of empowerment and transformation, proposing that the strong voice heard on the distant summer wind is really our own.

It is our tradition to invite the audience to participate in our musical community by singing seasonal carols with the choirs. Tonight’s carols relate to ideas of hope and night, mingled with traditional images of Christmas. We encourage you to sing proudly with us! (It is not necessary to stand for the carols, but of course you may do so if you wish.) The Concert Choir begins with Gaudete, a setting of a medieval carol that joyously celebrates the coming of Christ with images of fulfilled prophecy and a new dawn. The choir returns to images of night with In the Bleak Midwinter, set by Gustav Holst based on a poem by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894). They conclude with Music in the Night, on a text by Harriet Spofford (1835-1921), which considers the promise of healing that music can bring in dark times.

Camerata sings four songs in contemporary styles. Swingle Song is inspired by an ensemble from the 1960s called the Swingle Singers, who famously created vocal versions of classical instrumental works like Bach fugues, singing on scat syllables. Ocho Kandelikas celebrates the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. The song is sung in Ladino, a Spanish- derived language traditionally associated with the Sephardic Jewish community, whose ancestors lived in Spain before the 15th-century. Despite its traditional-sounding tone, Ocho Kandelikas is a modern composition, written in 1983 by Jewish-American composer Flory Jagoda. The lyrics describe a child’s joy of lighting the candles on the menorah. Blue Moon is a classic song written by the well-known duo of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. It is the sole romantic love song in our concert, portraying a person yearning for a lover, bathed in cold moonlight that brightens to gold when their lover finally appears. The World for Christmas is from the renowned Swedish a cappella ensemble The Real Group. The piece uses the voice of a young person asking for a single Christmas gift; that older generations help to create a healthier world so that we all can have a bright future on our beautiful planet.

The College Choir begins with exhilarating music from the Baroque period. Es Müssen Sich Freuen (“you must be happy”) expresses joy through energetic passages of melisma, the musical term for many notes sung on a single syllable. The real core of the piece is a hymn tune, sung by the sopranos in the middle section. Listen for the tune, sung in long notes punctuated by short phrases from the lower voices. The texture then returns to the ecstatic dynamism of the beginning.

Ave Maris Stella is an ancient text set by composers since the middle ages. It praises the virgin Mary as the “star of the sea,” and includes images of light and hope. This setting, by the contemporary Norwegian composer Trond Kverno, uses an antiphonal technique, alternating blocks of sound between the upper and lower voices. Many settings of this text are reflective, but Kverno also includes passages of intense energy and drive.

The Winter’s Night is a contemporary piece that evokes a winter landscape, symbolic of a transition from old to new, cold to warm; a perfect representation of our overall theme for the concert. In the early 1950s the French composer Francis Poulenc wrote four motets for the season of Christmas, culminating in the rapturous Hodie Christus Natus Est (“Today Christ is born”). The energy in this piece is quite different from the other pieces sung by the choir, with short bursts of energy that alternate and recur, presenting the phrases of text from different perspectives, which are at times intense, but are also joyful, and even playful.

The concert culminates with a performance of Mozart’s glorious Mass in C-major (K.317). It is one of his early masterworks, written in 1779 when he was just 23 years old (about the age of our college seniors!). It has been called the “Coronation Mass” from its use for such occasions in the 19th century, but it was not written for nor performed at a coronation during Mozart’s lifetime.

In 1777-78 Mozart traveled widely, seeking his fortune in the cosmopolitan musical centers of Mannheim, Paris, and Munich, hoping to secure patronage as a musician. He was unsuccessful, and was forced to return to his native Salzburg to take a position as an organist and composer to the court. Mozart considered Salzburg provincial and stifling, and disliked his position, but he brought with him everything he had learned during his travels. This mass is quite modern for its time, with an emphasis on formal unity (elements that recur in different parts of the mass), and the use of dynamics and shifts of tonality to highlight dramatic aspects of the text, such as the crucifixion.

The shifts of tonality are particularly interesting in light of the theme for our concert. The mass is distinctly in C-major, but it contains many shifts to C-minor, sometimes within a single phrase. The bright, celebratory character of C-major is often shaded with darker moments. One can imagine a correspondence between this tonal shifting and our solstice theme. In the context of our concert the mass represents the culmination of the solstice, the dawning of the hopeful time to come, but with memories of the darker times of winter.

Of course Mozart did not compose his mass to fulfill a solstice theme. Indeed, many of the pieces in this concert were not written to address this idea explicitly. But we can perceive connections among images of night, winter, snow, and hope for the future that represent the concept of solstice. We have combined music from many times, places, and perspectives; secular and sacred, ancient and modern; into a new work of art. We hope that the concert brings you comfort and joy in this season of solstice. Choral Music at Gettysburg College
