  • Four Saints in Three Acts a Bird in Your Ear: Synopsis
    The Bard College Conservatory of Music Graduate Program in Vocal Arts presents two one-act operas FOUR SAINTS IN THREE ACTS by Virgil Thomson, libretto by Gertrude Stein World Premiere A BIRD IN YOUR EAR by David Bruce, libretto by Alasdair Middleton March 21 and 22, 2008 Benefit for the Scholarship Fund from dawn upshaw Artistic Director Graduate Program in Vocal Arts Collaboration is at the center of true artistic partnership. In my experience, new opera can provide a wide canvas and a wealth of opportunity for the meeting of musical minds. I am delighted that the Bard Conservatory Graduate Program in Vocal Arts inaugurates its opera productions with two works that offer tremendous possibilities for collaboration—the world premiere of A Bird in Your Ear, by David Bruce, and the first fully staged one-act version of Virgil Thomson’s Four Saints in Three Acts. With director Doug Fitch, conductor James Bagwell, the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra, the chamber singers of the Bard College Music Program, and a wonderful team of designers, the 14 singers that represent the first two classes of the vocal arts program share their amazing gifts in these performances. One of the goals for stu- dents of this new graduate program, as stated in the prospectus, is “to learn what you can bring to musical life that no one else can.” It has been my great pleasure to wit- ness the unique talents in each of these individual artists, and it is a thrill to see them join together and share these gifts with you tonight.

This 4 Kuriose Geschichte (A Curious Story) 1:16 evocative, richly-colored work depicts the exquisite stained 5 Hasche-Mann (Blind Man’s Bluff) 0:42 glass windows of Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse inspired by 6 Bittendes Kind (Pleading Child) 1:16 7 Glückes genug (Perfect Happiness) 0:57 ancient imagery and scripture. These works, which reflect a 8 Wichtige Begebenheit (An Important Event) 0:58 myriad of overlapping artistic influences, led me to seek out 9 Träumerei (Dreaming) 3:36 other composers who have been inspired by multiple art forms. 10 Am Kamin (At the Fireside) 1:15 Schumann, who was deeply influenced by poetry and literature, 11 Ritter vom Steckenpferd (Knight of the Hobby-Horse) 0:53 was an immediate choice.

Kligman Co-Chair Professor Gary G. Gray, Co-Chair David Bruce’s 2008 work, Gumboots, is a worthy and exciting addition to a small and select group of compositions. Along with the well-loved quintets of Brahms and Mozart, Weber, and a few more recent works such as Osvaldo Golijov’s Dreams and Prayers of Isaac the Blind, Gumboots offers a well-composed work with both musical, emotional, and social substance. The work is challenging and requires a very versatile and adept clarinetist who can ideally double on the bass clarinet (although it is not required). Music plays a significant role in mankind’s ability to convey emotional and profound ideas. Gumboots is a work that capitalizes on this capability.
