Choose the lambs too weak for the winter, Program Texts Choose your lambs true believer. Spin the thread for ever and ever. Words by Sir Harold Boulton (1859 – 1935) Skye Boat Song Out of death and out of birth, Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing, Out of fire and out of water Onward, the sailors cry. daughter of an ancient earth. Carry the lad that’s born to be king Over the sea to Skye. Once we washed our souls in the river, I am the mermaid, I am the siren, Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, sowed the corn and prayed for the harvest, Thunderclouds rend the air; I am the queen who sings in the tower, Baffled, our foes stand on the shore, Follow they will not dare. killed the lambs too weak for the winter, I am the moon shining in winter, Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, I am the rose that lasts an hour. Ocean’s a royal bed. Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep Tell me what my work is worth, Watch by your weary head. and tell us what we should have taught her, daughter of an ancient earth. Stone Circles Words by Anne Lister Stars hang in a barren tree, Nobody is an island; sickle moon to reap the harvest. there’s no way you can cut free. Daughter of a world to be. Nobody is an island; there’s no way you can be cut off by sea. Still we give our lives to the river, Still we give our lives to the harvest, And ev’rything I do touches you, Still we give our lives to the winter. and ev’rything I am you hold in your hand. And it seems to me that we are standing stones; I’m the mermaid, I am the siren, there’s no way that we can ever be on our own. I’m the queen who sings in the tower, And even if at times it seems that we are all alone, I’m the moon that shines in the winter, we’re in stone circles marking time of standing stones. I’m the rose that lasts an hour. Nobody’s an outsider, Tell me when my work is done. there’s no way you can cut loose Tell us when a life is over. Nobody’s an outsider, Daughter of a world to come. there’s always some way to pay your dues. The circle stands for ever, Waly, Waly Traditional Scots ballad there’s no angle there to chip or break. The circle stands for ever, The water is wide, I cannot get o’er, there’s no straight line to show a slight mistake. and neither have I wings to fly. Give me a boat that will carry two, The wind blows from the hillside, but we stand firm and we do not bend. and both shall row, my true love and I. The wind blows from the hillside, There is a ship and she sails the sea, a circle is a pattern with no end. She’s loaded deep as deep can be, You mustn’t break the circle; But not as deep as the love I’m in. there’s no easy way to be released. I care not if I sink or swim. We mustn’t break the circle; I put my hand into some soft bush, and if we stand together we’ll find peace. thinking the sweetest flow’r to find. Chant for a Long Day Words by Stephen Hatfield (b. 1956) I pricked my finger to the bone, And left the sweetest flow’r behind. Hóró hùg o hùg Here we wash our souls in the river, Oh love is handsome and love is kind, wash your soul true believer. and love is sweet when it is new. Sow the corn and pray for the harvest, But love grows old and waxes cold, sow your corn true believer. And fades away like morning dew. The Tree House Words by Kathleen Jamie (b. 1962) Address to the Moon Words by Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 – 64) “Landfall” How sweet the silver Moon’s pale ray, Falls trembling on the distant bay, When we walk at the coast O’er which the breezes sigh no more, and notice, above the sea, Nor billows lash the sounding shore. a single ragged swallow Say, do the eyes of those I love, veering towards the earth – Behold thee as thou soar’st above, and blossom-scented breeze, Lonely, majestic and serene, can we allow ourselves to fail The calm and placid evening’s Queen? “The Orchard” Say, if upon thy peaceful breast, Departed spirits find their rest, Here is the late half-land For who would wish a fairer home, where the underworld, Than in that bright, refulgent dome? the moon-shadow of an apple tree is a darkness, like the earth Birds of Passage Words by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 82) we’re called from – Black shadows fall silent but for a hush From the lindens tall, That lift aloft their massive wall like heavy skirts; Against the southern sky; women, perhaps, passing And from the realms on the far side of a wall Of the shadowy elms whom we may call A tide-like darkness overwhelms our history; or a vole, The fields that ‘round us lie.

Hapax Legomenon was commissioned by the Harvard Musical Association and composed at Civitella Rainieri. PROGRAM NOTES 5 By Robert Kirzinger A true representative microcosm of the stylistic range of BMOP’s repertory history would be absurd, albeit maybe entertaining: forty-seven two-minute pieces for thirty-one different ensemble types? Something of that ilk might come close. The present program, though, TINA TALLON is at least an indicator of the range of the orchestra’s repertoire: all three composers of tonight’s world premieres have collaborated with BMOP before, but their individual compositional voices are highly distinctive. All three works were commissioned for and TONIGHT’S PERFORMERS written for the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. There are some broad connections, though: David Rakowski’s and Ken Ueno’s pieces are both concertos, and both Ueno’s FLUTE TROMBONE VIOLA and Elena Ruehr’s pieces were partly inspired by visual art.

Music Theory & Composition, University of Georgia, 2002 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The Faculty of Arts and Science in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Ph.D. in Historical Musicology University of Pittsburgh 2009 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Joanna Ruth Smolko It was defended on March 27, 2009 and approved by James P. Cassaro, Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Music Mary S. Lewis, Professor, Department of Music Alan Shockley, Assistant Professor, Cole Conservatory of Music Philip E. Smith, Associate Professor, Department of English Dissertation Advisor: Deane L. Root, Professor, Department of Music ii Copyright © by Joanna Ruth Smolko 2009 iii RESHAPING AMERICAN MUSIC: THE QUOTATION OF SHAPE-NOTE HYMNS BY TWENTIETH-CENTURY COMPOSERS Joanna Ruth Smolko, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2009 Throughout the twentieth century, American composers have quoted nineteenth-century shape- note hymns in their concert works, including instrumental and vocal works and film scores. When referenced in other works the hymns become lenses into the shifting web of American musical and national identity. This study reveals these complex interactions using cultural and musical analyses of six compositions from the 1930s to the present as case studies. The works presented are Virgil Thomson’s film score to The River (1937), Aaron Copland’s arrangement of “Zion’s Walls” (1952), Samuel Jones’s symphonic poem Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1974), Alice Parker’s opera Singers Glen (1978), William Duckworth’s choral work Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1980-81), and the score compiled by T Bone Burnett for the film Cold Mountain (2003).
