We are indeed excited about hosting our first event for your organization. The task of organizing a conference of this type is monumental. I want to express my deep appreciation to Dr. Ronald Parks, Assistant Professor of Music, for his efforts in bringing this conference to the Winthrop campus, and his tireless work in the organization of every aspect of the event. Dr. Parks serves as Director of the Computer Music Laboratories for our department, and teaches composition, music technology, and music theory. Additionally, Dr. Parks has works tirelessly to ensure that our equipment and facilities in the music labs support our programs. We have just recently converted the main Computer Music Lab to accommodate smart-classroom technology, and will soon add the Barnes Recital Hall to that list. This has all been made possible through the generous financial support of our college and university administration and staff. We are also proud that Dr. Parks was recently awarded a Composer's Residency under the auspices of the prestigious Aaron Copland Awards. We are also extremely pleased and proud that some very exciting compositions are being presented and premiered at the conference, and that some of our faculty and students will be involved in those performances, some of these along side many guest performers. This is a wonderful opportunity for our own students and faculty, as well as for the entire Winthrop community and beyond, to hear original works and to be able to interact with the composers of those works. I am delighted that you have joined us for this weekend, and hope that your conference is enjoyable, enlightening, and fulfilling. Donald M. Rogers, Ph.D., Chair Department of Music Winthrop University 129 Conservatory of Music Rock Hill, South Carolina 29733-0001 Telephone: 803.323.2255 Fax: 803.323.2343 E-mail: [email protected] Welcome to Winthrop University and the 2004 Society of Composers Inc.

Thank you for taking time from your busy schedules to attend our conference. Many people have worked very hard to make this conference a reality and we truly appreciate the time and talents they have contributed in support of our art.

We could not do it without you, thank you. We would also like to acknowledge and thank the administration at Winthrop University for helping us to create this opportunity. Our Department Chair, Dr. Donald M. Rogers remains a strong advocate for new music and he has stood firmly behind our efforts to bring this conference to Winthrop University. Dr. Andrew Svedlow, Dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, has worked tirelessly to create an atmosphere and culture within the college that nurtures creative activity and encourages faculty and students to support and advocate their professions. Dr. Anthony J. DiGiorgio, President of Winthrop University, has exhibited sincere and concrete support for our efforts to update our facilities and resources. Thanks to his guidance and oversight, we continue to enhance our capacity to contribute to our professional organizations and community.

She was only 51 years old when she passed away in October 1999 from a rare lung disease called interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, a condition which causes the lungs to harden until they can no longer function. Her loss has left an irreparable hole in my life. Shortly after her death, her closest friend had a dream in which my mother told her, "The numbers are 18, 17, 1, and 9. Make sure my son gets them ." As a result, the pitches E­ flat, D, B-flat, and G-flat form the foundation of this work. (My mom never studied set theory, thus to her reasoning the numbering would appropriately start at A, not C.) In addition to live signal processing, pre-recorded sounds produced the computer are derived from my mother's favorite music.

Air: In 3 sections, attacca: • Birds Circling in Sunlight : marimba &electronics: a study of birds in flight. The marimba assumes the rhythms and gestures of wing movement, adapting to changes in wind direction, speed, turning and banking. The electronics provide complex aerial environment: blasts of wind, flocks of birds. • Voices in Wind: vibraphone, crotales and live electronics: the small winds of whispering voices in the mind, internal and external worlds are confused and blended, hallucinogenic • Immensity of Constellations in the Night Sky: timpani, tam tam, glock, crotales: an invocation of the immensity, grandeur and terror of the constellations and the night sky.

Is it your too fragile joy that forced you to become this armed thing? But from whom does it protect you, this exaggerated defense? How many enemies have I lifted from you who did not fear it at all? On the contrary, from summer to autumn you wound the affection that is given you.

    7S3 BORN IN THE U.S.A. LYNN UNIVERSITY PHILHARMONIA O RCHESTRA ARTHUR WEISBERG, CONDUCTOR SHOKO HINO, PIANO (a winner from the 2001 Conservatory Conceno Competition) sponsored by Daniel and Shirlee Cohen Freed 7:30 p.m. April 21, 2001 Coral Springs City Center About ... a perfect rest by Laurence Bitensky ... a perfect mt is based on a traditional melody for El Male Rachamim, the Jewish memorial prayer. The prayer and its melody have a long and painful history. During the bloody Chmielnitzki pogroms of I 648, four Jewish communities were captured by the Tatars. When the canror, or chazzan, Hirsch of Zywotow, chanted the prayer El Male Bachamim, the congregation burst into tears, rnovrng the Tatars to release the three thousand Jews. A similar story told of the chtlZlan Solomon Rasumny of the Russian town of Kishinev. In 1903, Czarist officials organized a wave of anti-Semitic violence against a population already left impoverished from Czarist laws restricting Jewish rights. Jews were massacred, homes and synagogues were destroyed, and thousands of Jews were left homeless. As a response, the Kishinev chauan Rasumny composed a melody for El Male Bachamim. This melody has been preserved and forms the basis for ... a perfect rest. His stirring composition shows the intense emotional power of the East European cantonal style known as chauanut. The opening cello solo is a free adaptation of the melody followed by what is essentially one long orchestral interpretation, commentary, and variation. A translation of the original Hebrew prayer is as follows: 0 God full ofcompassion , Who dwells on high - Grant a perfect rest under the wings ofYour Presence, Among the heights of the holy and pure, who shine as the brightness of the firmament, To the righteous souls who have passed inro eternity.
