A TEAM SPORT COVER PHOTO BY VISIONS PHOTOGRAPHY WINTER 2017 5 LETTER FROM THE CEO JEFFREY COLLIER Happy 2017! It has been an incredible season so far for Orchestra Iowa. We’re soaring into the New Year following our exciting Hancher production with Tomáš Kubínek and Wycliffe Gordon, along with Nutcracker collaborations in December with the world-renowned Joffrey Ballet and our extraordinarily talented colleagues at Ballet Quad Cities. Art forms intersect in many, often unexpected ways. When an orchestra partners with an art museum, a ballet company, or a theatre, these myriad forms of creative expression have an opportunity to be amplified and to explore further and deeper the breadth of human emotions. We all find joy and inspiration in our own distinctive ways, and the creative mission of organizations like ours demands that we engage our community with programs that extend beyond our primary artistic endeavors. Partnerships like those with Joffrey, Ballet Quad Cities, and Hancher, plus our annual performances with Cedar Rapids Opera Theatre and Brucemore, and monthly First Friday Jazz programs with KCCK radio, set Orchestra Iowa apart as a unique cultural asset for the Eastern Iowa Corridor. While masterworks, pops, and chamber concerts are the core of our programming, it is through collaborative relationships with these and many other colleagues throughout the community that we can more rigorously pursue our service to the region. I hope in this New Year, you can take a moment to reflect on the unique creative experiences you have found. Whether you find your joy through the opera production, masterworks, or the upcoming Journey tribute concert, I trust you can identify a special moment that resonates especially prominently for you. Our orchestra family is strengthened and inspired through your own stories, even as we seek to inspire you through great musical journeys. Thank you for making us a part of your New Year in 2017!

  • The Critical Reception of Tippett's Operas
    Between Englishness and Modernism: The Critical Reception of Tippett’s Operas Ivan Hewett (Royal College of Music) [email protected] The relationship between that particular form of national identity and consciousness we term ‘Englishness’ and modernism has been much discussed1. It is my contention in this essay that the critical reception of the operas of Michael Tippett sheds an interesting and revealing light on the relationship at a moment when it was particularly fraught, in the decades following the Second World War. Before approaching that topic, one has to deal first with the thorny and many-sided question as to how and to what extent those operas really do manifest a quality of Englishness. This is more than a parochial question of whether Tippett is a composer whose special significance for listeners and opera-goers in the UK is rooted in qualities that only we on these islands can perceive. It would hardly be judged a triumph for Tippett if that question were answered in the affirmative. On the contrary, it would be perceived as a limiting factor — perhaps the very factor that prevents Tippett from exporting overseas as successfully as his great rival and antipode, Benjamin Britten. But even without that hard evidence of Tippett’s limited appeal, the very idea that his Englishness forms a major part of his significance could in itself be a disabling feature of the music. We are squeamish these days about granting a substantive aesthetic value to music on the grounds of its national qualities, if the composer in question is not safely locked away in the relatively remote past.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Operas of Michael Tippett: The Inner Values of Tippett as Portrayed by Selected Female Characters A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of. Philosophy Ill Music at Massey University, New Zealand Julie Jackson-Tretchikoff 2006 for my cfear li:us6ancf (l)imitri wno nas wnofe-neartec[(y encouragecf me to pursue a [ifefong cfream Abstract Sir Michael Kemp Tippett (1905-1998) was a British composer who wrote five operas. This dissertation explores the dramatic and musical presentation of five selected female characters, one from each of Tippett's operas: Sosostris (alto) The Midsummer Marriage (1955); Helen (mezzo-soprano) King Priam (1962); Denise ( dramatic soprano) The Knot Garden (1970); Hannah (rich mezzo) The Ice Break (1977); Jo Ann (lyric soprano) New Year (1989). It is argued that each of the five selected characters portrays Tippett' s inner values of humanitarianism, compassion, integrity and optimism. The dissertation focuses on certain key moments in each opera with an analysis of a central aria. Due to the writer's interest in the performance aspect of these operas, discussion centres on melody, the timbre of voice-types linked with instrumentation, rhythm, word­ setting and the vexed question of Tippett's libretti. 11 Acknowledgements I would particularly like to acknowledge the assistance and encouragement given to me by my UK supervisor, Dr Claire Seymour.

Bolthouse, B.M. Denton, Texas December, 1988 Bolthouse, Colleen R., A Study of Three Related Works by Michael Tippett: A Child of Our Time, The Vision of Saint Augustine, The Mask of Time. Master of Music (Musicology), December 1988, 95 pp., 14 illustrations, bibliography, 42 titles. Three works by Tippett stand together among his compositions because of their similarity of subject and performance medium. All are large works for soloists, chorus and orchestra, on meditative librettos, and intended for unstaged presentation. Only A Child of Our Time is given the genre designation "oratorio" by Tippett. An in-depth analysis of these works and the model for A Child of Our Time, Handel's Messiah, reveals that though they neither present religious subjects nor, in the case of The Vision of Saint Augustine and The Mask of Time, exhibit traditional formal divisions associated with oratorio, Tippett's works do indeed belong to the oratorio repertoire of the twentieth century.

  • The Ice Break"
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explana )n of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • CHRYSTAL E. WILLIAMS, Mezzo-Soprano Biography
    CHRYSTAL E. WILLIAMS, mezzo-soprano Biography Mezzo-soprano Chrystal E. Williams has been described by critics as “strong and so assured,” “lithely negotiating the coloratura demands before descending into a robust low register,” and “poised, polished, in complete command of the vocal calisthenics.” She is a winner of Astral’s 2014 National Auditions. Recently, Ms. Williams returned to Birmingham Opera Company (U.K.) as Katerina in Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and sings under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (U.K.). She also revisits the role of Rebecca in Charlie Parker’s YARDBIRD for Atlanta Opera, a role she created for Opera Philadelphia and has also revisited with Arizona Opera, at the Apollo Theater in Harlem, and in a co-production with Hackney Empire and English National Opera. She also gives her Merkin Concert Hall recital debut in May 2019. Ms. Williams sang Charlotte in Werther with both Baltimore Concert Opera and Opera Delaware, Mary in Ricky Ian Gordon’s Morning Star with New York’s Onsite Opera, and Olga in Eugene Onegin with the Northern Lights Music Festival. She also sang Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Springfield Symphony, a concert with the North Carolina Philharmonic, and made her Philadelphia Orchestra debut under Yannick Nézet-Séguin, in Bach’s Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich, BWV 150. Other recent performances include Michael Tippett’s A Child of Our Time with Boston Modern Orchestra Projects, Bach’s Magnificat with the New Jersey MasterChorale, and the role of Publia in Rossini’s Aureliano in Palmira at the Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts.
