HOWARD COLLEGE MUSIC FALL 2018 RECITAL Monday November 5, 2018 Hall Center for the Arts Linda Lindell, Accompanist Makinsey Grant . Bb Clarinet Fantasy Piece No. 1 by Robert Schumann Fantasy Piece No. 1 by Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856) was written in 1849. It is the first movement of three pieces written to promote the creative notion of the performer. It allows the performer to be unrestricted with their imagination. Fantasy Piece No. 1 is written to be “Zart und mit Ausdruck” which translates to tenderly and expressively. It begins in the key of A minor to give the audience the sense of melancholy then ends in the key of A major to give resolution and leave the audience looking forward to the next movements. (M. Grant) Tony Lozano . Guitar Tu Lo Sai by Giuseppe Torelli (1650 – 1703) Tu lo sai (You Know It) This musical piece is emotionally fueled. Told from the perspective of someone who has confessed their love for someone only to find that they no longer feel the same way. The piece also ends on a sad note, when they find that they don’t feel the same way. “How much I do love you. Ah, cruel heart how well you know.” (T. Lozano) Ruth Sorenson . Mezzo Soprano Sure on this Shining Night by Samuel Barber Samuel Barber (1910 – 1981) was an American composer known for his choral, orchestral, and opera works. He was also well known for his adaptation of poetry into choral and vocal music. Considered to be one of the composers most famous pieces, “Sure on this shining night,” became one of the most frequently programmed songs in both the United States and Europe.

Faust Libretto English Translation
Opera Arias Home > Gounod > Faust > Faust Libretto > English Translation Faust Libretto English Translation Cast: FAUST (Tenor) MÉPHISTOPHÉLÈS (Bass) WAGNER (Baritone) VALENTIN (Baritone) SIEBEL (Soprano) MARGUERITE (Soprano) MARTHE (Mezzosoprano) CHORUS young girls, labourers, students, burghers, matrons, invisible demons, church choir, witches,queen and courtesans of antiquity, celestial voices ACT ONE Introduction Faust's study The day is dawning. Faust is sitting at a large table littered with parchments. In front of him lies an open book. FAUST Nothing! In vain do I question, through this zealous vigil, Both Nature and our Maker; No voice comes to murmur in my ear Some word of comfort! I have pined, sad and lonely, Unable to break the fetters Which still bind me to this world! I see nothing! I know nothing! Nothing! Nothing! He closes the book and stands up. The sky lightens! Dark night melts away As the new dawn advances! Another day! Another day grows bright! O Death, when will you come And shelter me beneath your wing? Faust English Libretto.docx Page 1 He takes a phial from the table. Well, since Death shuns me, Why should I not go to him? Hail, O my last morning! Fearless, I reach my journey's end; And I am, with this potion, The sole master of my fate! He pours the contents of the phial inside a crystal beaker. As he is about to drink, girlish voices are heard outside YOUNG GIRLS outside Ah! Lazy girl, who are Still slumbering! The day already shines In its golden cloak. The bird already sings Its careless songs; The caressing dawn Smiles on the harvest; The brook prattles, The flower opens to daylight, All Nature Awakens to love! FAUST Idle echoes of human bliss, Go your way! Go by, go by! O you, my forefathers'cup, so often filled, Why do you thus shake in my hand? Again he raises the beaker to his lips.

October 6, 2020 – Tuesday of the 27Th Week in Ordinary Time
October 6, 2020 – Tuesday of the 27th Week in Ordinary Time “Asking the grace to choose the ‘one thing that is needed’ – the one ‘chair’ – of being committed to the Lord and His Kingdom, so that we can enjoy true peace and joy in life!” (Gal 1:13-24 and Lk 10:38-42) Luciano Pavarotti was an Italian operatic Tenor. (A tenor is a type of classical male singing voice whose vocal range is one of the highest of the male voice types) He made numerous recordings of complete operas and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for the brilliance and beauty of his tone and eventually established himself as one of the finest tenors of the 20th century. Luciano relates: “When I was a boy, my father, a baker, introduced me to the wonders of singing. He urged me to work very hard to develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional tenor in my hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I also enrolled in a teacher's college. On graduating, I asked my father, ‘Shall I be a teacher or a singer?’ “Luciano,” my father replied, ‘if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair.’ “I chose one. It took seven years of study and frustration before I made my first professional appearance. It took another seven to reach the Metropolitan Opera. And now I think whether it’s laying bricks, writing a book–whatever we choose–we should give ourselves to it. Commitment, that’s the key.

Musical Gazette (New York, 1854-1855)
Introduction to: Randi Trzesinski and Richard Kitson, The Musical Gazette (1854-1855) Copyright © 2007 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical Gazette (1854-1855) The Musical Gazette [MGA] was published weekly on Saturdays in New York City by the Mason Brothers from 11 November 1854 until 5 May 1855, and comprised twenty-six weekly numbers, the first two containing sixteen pages each, the remainder eight pages each. The issues are numbered from 1 through 26 and the pages are numbered consecutively from 1 through 208. In 1851 Daniel Gregory Mason (1820-1869) and his brother Lowell Mason (1823-1885)—sons of music educator and composer Lowell Mason—united with Henry W. Law to create the Mason & Law publishing firm. Daniel Gregory and Lowell Mason, Junior established in 1853 their own firm, the Mason Brothers, publishers of secular and religious music, school textbooks, histories, English and French dictionaries and music periodicals.1 In 1854 they undertook publication of The Choral Advocate and Singing-Class Journal, and began two new musical periodicals in November of that year, The Musical Gazette (edited by Lowell Mason, Junior) and The Musical Review. After 5 May 1855 MGA was absorbed into another music journal published by the Mason Brothers, The New-York Musical Review and Choral Advocate which was then renamed The New-York Musical Review and Gazette.2 The Mason Brothers’ principal goal for MGA was publication of a journal “devoted to the higher departments of musical literature and criticism; … Musical news from all parts of the world, where music is cultivated, will be promptly and regularly given.”3 Each page of MGA is printed in a two-column format and issues are organized in three main parts.
