Voci Women’s Vocal Ensemble 4024 Everett Avenue, Oakland, CA 94602 www.facebook.com/vocisings www.paypal.me/Voci www.vocisings.org About Today’s Program Voci Staff This afternoon’s concert—Voci Playlist—presents a collection of pieces selected by Voci singers, past directors, and accompanists. Artistic Director: Dr. Anne K. Hege It provides a look at where Voci has been and what Voci has loved Assistant Conductor: Edna Yeh over the last 25 years. It also, in a fascinating way, shows us Voci’s Accompanist: Anne Rainwater unique collective taste for specific kinds of music. You can hear our love of early music, our interest in texts that speak about the Chorus Manager: Mishaela De Vries female experience, as well as our interest in female composers. Communications & Marketing: You can also hear our love of contemporary music that is Elizabeth Brashers, Susan Sands, Lezak Shallat, challenging and heartfelt. Stephanie Neumann, Nicky Reed Website & Graphic Design: Edna Yeh We begin with Eleanor Daley’s Rise Up, My Love, a setting of an Concert Production: Terry Meyers, excerpt of the Song of Solomon. Daley’s use of the minor mode Karla Sagramoso, Victoria Skeritt, and members of Voci and descending lines that fall from unison suggest a disrobing and Head Librarian: Katherine McStravick the vulnerability of new love. This theme of vulnerability extends Program: Elizabeth Brashers, Anne Hege, Lezak Shallat, into Stephen Hatfield’s setting of a traditional Kentucky folk song, Rose Hansen, Dorothy Isaacson Read Queen Jane (referring to Henry the VIII’s third wife, Jane House Staff: John Gibbins, Seymour). Hatfield’s use of open fifths echoes early music styles, James King, Fran Meredith-Picconi, as does the text itself, which tells of the queen’s untimely death Tony Meredith-Picconi, Sherrie Reed, during childbirth. From here, we travel to the fourteenth century Nate Deremiah, Alicia Bright and Guillaume de Machaut’s work Rose, Liz, Printemps, with its Recording Engineer: Brian Shiratsuki lilting rhythms and weaving parts. Eve Beglarian follows with her recent work Lullaby. This piece superimposes a traditional Gregorian chant over a minimalist setting of Janet Lewis’ striking poem about Mary’s motherly love for Christ. Similarly, Duruflé’s Voci Board of Directors 1960 work, Tota pulchra es, is inspired by traditional Gregorian chant phrases. Duruflé uses modern mixed meter with traditional Susan Sands (President), Lisa Sanders (Treasurer), counterpoint techniques to create music that is both modern and Elizabeth Brashers (Secretary) reminiscent of an earlier time. Erzsébet Szőnyi’s work, Canticum Mishaela De Vries, Terry Meyers Sponsae continues in a similar style. I have fallen in love with this Anne K. Hege, Edna Yeh (ex officio) piece over this semester. It is written in short episodes that form waves building to a beautiful conclusion. We follow Szőnyi with one of Brahms’ most famous canons, which mimics the sound of hurdy-gurdy, and Holst’s gorgeous, swaying, two-choir Ave Maria, which reminds me of silt slowly settling in water. We end the first half with Lauridsen’s Dirait-on. In this depiction of the beauty of a rose, you can feel the velvet luxuriousness of the flower, and how the wealth of petals unfurls as it blossoms. The second half of the program honors our commitment to new works for treble chorus, as well as our history of dedicating our fall concerts to voices in peace. We begin with Karin Rehnqvist’s striking work, I Himmelen, where she depicts the heavenly hall as a dining hall filled with people singing a traditional Swedish folksong, made more radiant by the calls of shepherdesses across the mountain tops and the ringing of church bells. This is followed by the first and last fragments of (former Voci Artistic Director) Jude Navari’s Siddhartha Fragments. These pieces, which were a gift from Navari for Voci’s 20th anniversary, speak to the beauty and complexity of our world and allow us to showcase our new accompanist, Anne Rainwater. Three short Bartók works and Mendelssohn’s fabulous Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains follow, sharing our love of harmony and the simple beauty of a cappella works. We end the program with two works for organ, Poulenc’s Ave Maria and Benjamin Britten’s Missa Brevis in D. The Britten was one of the first works I ever learned in choir, and the Gloria from this mass often arises out of nowhere in my mind’s ear. Benjamin Britten lived through two world wars, and you can hear his experience of vicious conflict in the Agnus Dei, asking for mercy, and the final resolution, “dona nobis pacem,” asking for peace. We end our concert with an invitation to you, to join us in singing the traditional round, Dona Nobis Pacem (see program insert). Throughout this concert, my hope is that you feel our love for these pieces. Like a friend sharing her favorite keepsake, I hope that you leave this concert feeling that you have been showered by our love for this music. We are so thankful to all of you for sharing our passion for music for all these years.

  • Prestige Label Discography
    Discography of the Prestige Labels Robert S. Weinstock started the New Jazz label in 1949 in New York City. The Prestige label was started shortly afterwards. Originaly the labels were located at 446 West 50th Street, in 1950 the company was moved to 782 Eighth Avenue. Prestige made a couple more moves in New York City but by 1958 it was located at its more familiar address of 203 South Washington Avenue in Bergenfield, New Jersey. Prestige recorded jazz, folk and rhythm and blues. The New Jazz label issued jazz and was used for a few 10 inch album releases in 1954 and then again for as series of 12 inch albums starting in 1958 and continuing until 1964. The artists on New Jazz were interchangeable with those on the Prestige label and after 1964 the New Jazz label name was dropped. Early on, Weinstock used various New York City recording studios including Nola and Beltone, but he soon started using the Rudy van Gelder studio in Hackensack New Jersey almost exclusively. Rudy van Gelder moved his studio to Englewood Cliffs New Jersey in 1959, which was close to the Prestige office in Bergenfield. Producers for the label, in addition to Weinstock, were Chris Albertson, Ozzie Cadena, Esmond Edwards, Ira Gitler, Cal Lampley Bob Porter and Don Schlitten. Rudy van Gelder engineered most of the Prestige recordings of the 1950’s and 60’s. The line-up of jazz artists on Prestige was impressive, including Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Eric Dolphy, Booker Ervin, Art Farmer, Red Garland, Wardell Gray, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Milt Jackson and the Modern Jazz Quartet, “Brother” Jack McDuff, Jackie McLean, Thelonious Monk, Don Patterson, Sonny Rollins, Shirley Scott, Sonny Stitt and Mal Waldron.

  • The Symbolic Rape of Representation: a Rhetorical Analysis of Black Musical Expression on Billboard's Hot 100 Charts
    THE SYMBOLIC RAPE OF REPRESENTATION: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF BLACK MUSICAL EXPRESSION ON BILLBOARD'S HOT 100 CHARTS Richard Sheldon Koonce A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: John Makay, Advisor William Coggin Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda Dee Dixon Radhika Gajjala ii ABSTRACT John J. Makay, Advisor The purpose of this study is to use rhetorical criticism as a means of examining how Blacks are depicted in the lyrics of popular songs, particularly hip-hop music. This study provides a rhetorical analysis of 40 popular songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Charts from 1999 to 2006. The songs were selected from the Billboard charts, which were accessible to me as a paid subscriber of Napster. The rhetorical analysis of these songs will be bolstered through the use of Black feminist/critical theories. This study will extend previous research regarding the rhetoric of song. It also will identify some of the shared themes in music produced by Blacks, particularly the genre commonly referred to as hip-hop music. This analysis builds upon the idea that the majority of hip-hop music produced and performed by Black recording artists reinforces racial stereotypes, and thus, hegemony. The study supports the concept of which bell hooks (1981) frequently refers to as white supremacist capitalist patriarchy and what Hill-Collins (2000) refers to as the hegemonic domain. The analysis also provides a framework for analyzing the themes of popular songs across genres. The genres ultimately are viewed through the gaze of race and gender because Black male recording artists perform the majority of hip-hop songs.
