Vaughan Williams This is the truth sent from above, Christ our Blessed Saviour The truth of God, the God of love: Now in the manger lay. Therefore don’t turn me from your door, He’s lying in the manger, But hearken all, both rich and poor. While the oxen feed on hay. The blessed Virgin Mary The first thing which I will relate, Unto the Lord did pray. Is that God did man create. O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy! The next thing which to you I’ll tell, Woman was made with man to dwell. On Christmas Night all Christians sing, To hear the news the angels bring. Then, after this, ’twas God’s own choice News of great joy, news of great mirth, To place them both in Paradise, News of our merciful King’s birth. There to remain, from evil free, Except they ate of such a tree. When sin departs before thy grace, Then life and health come in its place. And they did eat, which was a sin, Angels and men with joy may sing. And thus their ruin did begin. All for to see the new-born King. Ruined themselves, both you and me, And all of their posterity. God bless the ruler of this house And long on may he reign, Thus we were heirs to endless woes, Many happy Christmases Till God the Lord did interpose, He live to see again. And so a promise soon did run, From out of darkness we have light, That he would redeem us by his Son. Which makes the angels sing this night. Come all you worthy gentlemen, God bless our generation, who live both far and near That may be standing by, And we wish them a happy, a happy New Year. Christ our blessed Saviour “Glory to God and peace to men, Was born on Christmas day. Both now and evermore, Amen.” The blessed Virgin Mary O we wish you a happy, a happy New Year, Unto the Lord did pray. Both now and evermore, O we wish you the comfort and tidings of joy! Amen. Christmas Sing-Along Jingle bells, jingle bells, From angels bending near the Earth, And stay by my side, Jingle all the way! To touch their harps of gold: ’Til morning is nigh.

  • Graciela Paraskevaídis: Homenaje a Silvestre Revueltas 1 -.::GP-Magma
    Graciela Paraskevaídis: Homenaje a Silvestre Revueltas 1 Planos Silvestre Revueltas - pocas veces el nombre y apellido de un artista han sido tan premonitorios como en este caso - es sin duda alguna uno de los creadores más asombrosos y originales del siglo XX. Su México no es sólo el de los mariachis, sones y corridos, sino también el de las calaveras y esqueletos de José Guadalupe Posada, los murales de Diego Rivera, las pinturas de Frida Kahlo, los poetas estridentistas y los trasterrados europeos como Lev Trotski, Tina Modotti, Hanns Eisler, Rodolfo Halffter y Otto Mayer Serra. El momento político de su máxima explosión creativa coincide con el sexenio del gobierno progresista del general Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940), impulsor de cambios sociales (la reforma agraria) y culturales (la reforma educativa y el apoyo al cine). Por otro lado, abarca la guerra civil española (que contó a Revueltas como defensor de la República) y el inicio de la segunda guerra mundial. También es el México de su colaboración musical y amistad personal primero y, a partir de 1935, del rompimiento definitivo y la dura confrontación con su coetáneo Carlos Chávez (1899-1978). Tema éste bastante tabú aún hoy en México, la perspectiva histórica ha ido echando luz sobre un enfrentamiento signado sin duda por irreconciliables visiones del mundo. Chávez y Revueltas representaban posicionamientos antagónicos: el pionero Revueltas frente al académico Chávez; el luchador idealista frente al pragmático calculador; el creador apasionado frente al detentador del poder musical en México; el comprometido testigo sonoro de su tiempo y época frente al “músico de hierro” como lo llamara Revueltas 2, primero modernista y luego cultor de un nacionalismo indigenista con tintes neoclásicos europeos, opciones estéticas éstas comparables a algunas del brasileño Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959).

  • The Blake Collection in Memory of Nancy M
    The Blake Collection In Memory of Nancy M. Blake BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

  • The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: the Nature of Music May, 2021 Dear Fellow Educators
    The Dallas Symphony Orchestra Presents: The Nature of Music May, 2021 Dear Fellow Educators, As spring arrives each year, I am reminded of the powerful relationship between nature and music. Both start as a single seed (or note!) and go on to blossom into something beautiful. Each plant, like each piece of music, is both a continuation of what came before and the start of something new. With Earth Day just a few weeks before our May concert, we wanted to use this Youth Concert as a way to explore and honor our planet through the lens of classical music. During our program, The Nature of Music, you and your students will hear music inspired by rivers, wildflowers, birds, and a busy bumblebee! Musicians have often used the earth’s natural beauty as inspiration for their music, and they try to use musical sounds to paint a picture for our ears, much like an artist would use different colors to paint a picture for our eyes. Each lesson will help your students explore and experience this connection. This concert will be offered virtually (available May 16 – June 4) but we are also accepting reservations for in-person viewing! Our two back-to-back concerts will be on Wednesday, May 5 at 10am and 11:30am. Please contact me or email my colleague in sales, Sabrina Siggers (contact information below), to reserve your classes reservation. You can see up-to-date Meyerson safety protocol below. We humans have a responsibility to respect and care for animals, plants, and the earth’s natural resources.
