Brookdale Performing Arts Center Brookdale Community College BROOKDALE CONCORDIA CHORALE FROSTIANA Randall Th ompson John & Cynthia Balme, Directors “Seven Country Songs” – Settings of poems by Robert Frost Th e Road Not Taken (SATB) Th e Pasture (TTB) MASS OF THE CHILDREN John Rutter Come In (SSA) Mass of the Children was written in response to an invitation to compose a new work for a concert Th e Telephone (SATB) given in Carnegie Hall during the American Choral Directors Association’s national convention A Girl’s Garden (SSA) in New York in February 2003. Rutter’s larger-scale choral works have been relatively few – the Gloria, the Requiem and the Magnifi cat are the most oft en performed – but each one has a Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (TTB) distinct character. Th e Mass of the Children represents something new in the composer’s work Choose Something Like a Star (SATB) insofar as it was conceived with an integral role for a children’s choir alongside an adult mixed choir, two soloists, and orchestra. Th e role of the children’s choir is to add a further dimension to the traditional Latin Mass sung by the adult choir, sometimes commenting, sometimes amplifying the meaning and mood. Th e Mass itself (a Missa Brevis, that is to say a Mass without a Credo Frostiana: Seven Country Songs is a famous and popular work for mixed chorus and piano section) is mainly sung by the adult choir or the soloists. Th e children sometimes sing the Latin composed in 1959 by Randall Th ompson. It premiered on October 18, 1959, in Amherst, or Greek – for example at the Christe eleison, the opening of the Gloria and at the Benedictus Massachusetts. Th ompson later scored the piece for chamber orchestra and chorus; this version – but elsewhere they and the two soloists sing specially chosen English texts which in some way was fi rst performed on April 23, 1965. refl ect upon or illuminate the Latin. Th e work opens with two verses from Bishop Th omas Ken’s morning hymn for the Scholars of Winchester College, and it closes with the children singing his Th ompson was commissioned by the town of Amherst to write a piece commemorating its evening hymn with Tallis’ timeless melody, as the adults intone the traditional Dona nobis pacem, bicentennial in 1959. Th e town was known for its association with Robert Frost, who had a prayer for peace. Th is creates a framework (from waking to sleeping) within which other texts lived there for some years. Frost had known Th ompson for some time, and admired his music; and moods appear in kaleidoscopic succession, like events in a day or landmarks in a life. accordingly, it was decided that the commemorative work would be a setting of some of Frost’s –Louise Luegner poetry. Th e town suggested “Th e Gift Outright”; Th ompson, however, feared that the text was inappropriate for the occasion, and asked to be allowed to choose his own texts. In the end, the composer selected seven poems, with which he constructed a seven-movement suite of choral art Kyrie songs.

  • Verdi's Rigoletto
    Verdi’s Rigoletto - A discographical conspectus by Ralph Moore It is hard if not impossible, to make a representative survey of recordings of Rigoletto, given that there are 200 in the catalogue; I can only compromise by compiling a somewhat arbitrary list comprising of a selection of the best-known and those which appeal to me. For a start, there are thirty or so studio recordings in Italian; I begin with one made in 1927 and 1930, as those made earlier than that are really only for the specialist. I then consider eighteen of the studio versions made since that one. I have not reviewed minor recordings or those which in my estimation do not reach the requisite standard; I freely admit that I cannot countenance those by Sinopoli in 1984, Chailly in 1988, Rahbari in 1991 or Rizzi in 1993 for a combination of reasons, including an aversion to certain singers – for example Gruberova’s shrill squeak of a soprano and what I hear as the bleat in Bruson’s baritone and the forced wobble in Nucci’s – and the existence of a better, earlier version by the same artists (as with the Rudel recording with Milnes, Kraus and Sills caught too late) or lacklustre singing in general from artists of insufficient calibre (Rahbari and Rizzi). Nor can I endorse Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s final recording; whether it was as a result of his sad, terminal illness or the vocal decline which had already set in I cannot say, but it does the memory of him in his prime no favours and he is in any case indifferently partnered.

  • Wolfgang Sawallisch Wolfgang Sawallisch
    WOLFGANG SAWALLISCH Conductor Laureate Wolfgang Sawallisch became conductor laureate of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September 2003, following the culmination of his celebrated, decade-long tenure as the Orchestra’s sixth music director. Acclaimed as one of the greatest living exponents of the Germanic musical tradition, Mr. Sawallisch enriched and expanded upon the Orchestra’s century-old tradition of excellence, leaving an enduring legacy of artistic achievements with the ensemble. As music director, Mr. Sawallisch encouraged the exploration of new ways to present music to American audiences. In April 1997 he led the Philadelphians in the first live internet concert “cybercast” made by a major American orchestra, attracting listeners from more than 40 countries around the world. He presented season-long focuses on the works of Schumann, Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms, and an ongoing overview of the works of Richard Strauss (including a concert presentation of the opera Ariadne auf Naxos ). Through a series of commissions, Mr. Sawallisch re-affirmed the Orchestra’s commitment to new music; and his vision for the Orchestra’s 100th Anniversary Season in 1999-2000, made up exclusively of music written since the ensemble’s creation in 1900, resulted in record ticket sales and critical praise. During his tenure, Mr. Sawallisch led The Philadelphia Orchestra each year in concerts outside Philadelphia, helping to build upon the ensemble’s long tradition of touring. He appeared annually with the Orchestra in a series of concerts at Carnegie Hall and conducted the Orchestra in major concert halls throughout the world on eight international tours (three to Europe, four to Asia, and one to Central and South America).

Mozart’s single piece of correspondence concerning the mass only adds to the mystery. In a letter dated January 14, 1783, to his father Leopold, Mozart wrote elliptically that “the score of half of a mass, which is still lying here waiting to be finished, is the best proof that I really made the promise.” While the promise Mozart alluded to in the letter has traditionally been interpreted as an olive branch to his father, who had not approved of Mozart’s recent marriage, or as an ode of thanksgiving to his wife Constanze, recent research hints that Mozart had promised his father that he would reconcile with Archbishop Colloredo.

  • Overture Opera Guides
    overture opera guides in association with We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Overture Publishing on this series of opera guides and to build on the work English National Opera did over twenty years ago on the Calder Opera Guide Series. As well as reworking and updating existing titles, Overture and ENO have commissioned new titles for the series and all of the guides will be published to coincide with repertoire being staged by the company at the London Coliseum. We hope that these guides will prove an invaluable resource now and for years to come, and that by delving deeper into the history of an opera, the poetry of the libretto and the nuances of the score, read- ers’ understanding and appreciation of the opera and the art form in general will be enhanced. John Berry Artistic Director, ENO The publisher John Calder began the Opera Guides series under the editorship of the late Nicholas John in association with English National Opera in 1980. It ran until 1994 and eventu- ally included forty-eight titles, covering fifty-eight operas. The books in the series were intended to be companions to the works that make up the core of the operatic repertory. They contained articles, illustrations, musical examples and a complete libretto and singing translation of each opera in the series, as well as bibliographies and discographies. The aim of the present relaunched series is to make available again the guides already published in a redesigned format with new illustrations, some newly commissioned articles, updated reference sections and a literal translation of the libretto that will enable the reader to get closer to the intentions and meaning of the original.

    CLAUDE DEBUSSY | SEGMENT LIST © HNH International “I could not do without his music. It is my oxygen.” (Francis Poulenc on Debussy) A unique voice in classical music, Claude Debussy exercised widespread influence over later generations of composers, both in his native France and elsewhere, including Messiaen, Cage and Bartók. His music combines late nineteenth- century Romanticism with a soundscape that exudes evocative imagery. This catalogue contains an impressive collection of works by this master composer: piano music, ranging from his ever-popular Clair de lune to the light-hearted Children’s Corner Suite; examples of his influential orchestral music, including Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and La Mer; the exquisite opera Pelléas et Mélisande, and much more. © 2018 Naxos Rights US, Inc. 1 of 2 LABEL CATALOGUE # COMPOSER TITLE FEATURED ARTISTS UPC A Musical Journey DEBUSSY, Claude Naxos 2.110544 FRANCE: A Musical Tour of Provence Various Artists 747313554454 (1862–1918) Music by Debussy and Ravel [DVD] DEBUSSY, Claude Naxos 8.556663 BEST OF DEBUSSY Various Artists 0730099666329 (1862–1918) DEBUSSY, Claude Cello Recital – Cello Sonata Tatjana Vassiljeva, Cello / Naxos 8.555762 0747313576227 (1862–1918) (+STRAVINSKY / BRITTEN / DUTILLEUX) Yumiko Arabe, Piano DEBUSSY, Claude Naxos 8.556788 Chill With Debussy Various Artists 0730099678827 (1862–1918) DEBUSSY, Claude Clair de lune and Other Piano Favorites • Naxos 8.555800 Francois-Joël Thiollier, Piano 0747313580026 (1862–1918) Arabesques • Reflets dans l'eau DEBUSSY, Claude Naxos 8.509002 Complete Orchestral Works [9CDs Boxed Set] Various Artists 747313900237 (1862–1918) DEBUSSY, Claude Early Works for Piano Duet – Naxos 8.572385 Ivo Haah, Adrienne Soos, Piano 747313238576 (1862–1918) Printemps • Le triomphe de Bacchus • Symphony in B Minor DEBUSSY, Claude Naxos 8.578077-78 Easy-Listening Piano Classics (+RAVEL) [2CDs] Various Artists 747313807772 (1862–1918) DEBUSSY, Claude Naxos 8.572472 En blanc et noir (+MESSIAEN) Håkon Austbø, Ralph van Raat, Piano 747313247271 (1862–1918) Four-Hand Piano Music, Vol.
