Soon, she was entering -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. composition contests and winning prizes. In 1933, her Symphony in E Minor premiered at the Chicago Symphony, a seminal event for an African-American female composer. The lessons of Dr. King are shared across cultures and generations, and echoes of his message continue to inspire the global community. Though his aim was local, his vision While Price was classically trained in the European tradition, she never abandoned her was universal. If we are to stop hatred, we must stop fear; if we are to stop fear, we must deep spiritual and southern roots.

The Mosaic Choir is an auditioned choir of 135 students from Waubonsie slowly, hesitantly, moves through a kind of lament. A feeling of upward movement- like Valley High School in Aurora, . The mission of Mosaic is to represent the rich a mournful climbing of stairs- is palpable. This minor-key ascent – assisted by unusual cultural and ethnic diversity of Waubonsie Valley through its membership and repertoire. shifting time signatures and a dynamic that moves from pianissimo (very soft) to Recently, it has featured performers at the Chicago House of Blues Gospel Brunch for the fortissimo (very loud) – reaches a climax, at which point the piece shifts into a quiet past four years, performed for Rajmohan Gandhi (grandson of Mahatma Gandhi) as part resolution.

Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto was commissioned by the famous clarinetist Benny While it may be easy to sink into cynicism, bitterness, and despair – since we too often Goodman in 1947. As Goodman remembers, “I made no demands on what Copland grant these darker thoughts greater weight – music offers us an authentic way to confront should write. He had completely free rein, except that I should have a two-year exclusivity those feelings and hard-wired habits and let them slip away, if even for a moment. The on playing the work.” At the time, Copland was living in Rio de Janeiro, where he wrote music you will hear tonight all in some way confront the darkness and the lines that divide multiple drafts of the composition. In 1948, Copland wrote that the concerto was still us – whether from accepting others or accepting ourselves.

It might be all another two years for Goodman to finally premiere the piece in 1950. too easy to slip back into old habits over the coming weeks. But remember:

The Clarinet Concerto is fairly unusual in composition. Its two movements are played “Love is the most durable power in the world.” back-to-back, linked by a clarinet cadenza—here performed by the stellar Anthony Alexander Perry is an arts and culture writer based in Chicago. After pursuing playwriting McGill. While the first movement is slow and expressive, full of bittersweet lyricism, the second at the Theatre School and graduate studies in religion and literature at the University of movement concludes with a playful finale—combining an “unconscious fusion of elements Chicago Divinity School, Alexander decided to leave the academy and explore the world.

Sit back and enjoy as Anthony McGill displays his virtuoso skill. Chicago Sinfonietta. You can find samples of his work at lookingforatitle.tumblr.com. We continue our global journey from the Latin American, jazz-fused clarinet styling of Copland to the percussive, pop-infused traditional African beats of Obo Addy’s Wawshishijay (Our Beginning). Obo Addy—who sadly passed just a few months ago in September—was known throughout the world as a master drummer and dancer. Addy was born in Ghana to a wonche (medicine man), and learned the transcendent power of music from his father who used rhythms and beats in healing rituals. After becoming a master drummer, he traveled from Africa to Europe and the , pioneering a new form of music later known as “worldbeat.” As you will hear in Wawshishijay, Addy’s music is an incredible fusion of African and Western pop, filtered through the lens of a classical symphony orchestra. Its percussive melodies are exuberant without being naïve; deep without being mournful; and traditional without being stale. unscripted.

We slow things down a little and bring them home with Lena McLin’s moving I’m a Solider (Spiritual Suite). Though I’m a Soldier has a strong Chicago connection—as it was written by Chicago natives Lena McLin and commissioned by Robert Sims—this performance will mark its Chicago debut, sung by the soulful Bass baritone Eric Owens. McLin, who taught music in the Chicago public high schools for 36 years, cultivated hundreds of young musicians. She also is recognized as one of America’s foremost Hotel Arista attracts people who like to write their own story. composers—writing more than 400 compositions— including her cantata, Free at Last (a tribute to her childhood friend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) that received performances at New York’s with the American Symphony Orchestra. I’m a Soldier is emblematic of McLin’s extraordinary talent: bare and honest, moving in its musical accompaniment but resting its strength in its vocal arrangement.
