While this annual visit entailed twelve hours from start to finish, including three and a half hours of driving each way, 3 Chronicles - Volume 33-4 Winter 2016 - 2017 thirty minutes or so at the cemetery, and lunch with the family, nobody ever complained because they knew how important it was to Rachel, and everyone instinctively realized this tradi - tion served to bind them as a family. I was intrigued by the presence of Rachel’s three, very young, great grandchildren at the burial. Her daughter explained that death is part of life, and it was ridiculous to shield these chil - dren from that reality.

(I was in Israel when she died the year before). Jewish law requires that the grave must be filled at the time of burial and the casket fully covered with earth. When Rachel’s great grandsons, aged seven and five, shoveled some dirt onto their great grandmother’s coffin, I muttered to myself that this simple act demonstrated the concept of “from generation to generation.” These two young boys will always remember saying “good-bye” to their “G-ma” with whom they definitely had a relationship. She was the one who encouraged their musical interests by exposing them to their first taste of opera. I’m sure they were aware of the graves of other family members—their great grandfather and their great great grandparents (their “G-ma’s” parents). I imagine Rachel talked to these young boys about them, and in their own way they developed a sense of family history, legacy, and continuity. She organically transmitted her family’s history in the most direct fashion, which probably was how many (if not all) of us initially developed our own interests in genealogy. Serendipitously I recently discovered a PBS series entitled Our American Family. The particular episode I watched show - cased the Mays, a Jewish family with roots in Hoechst, Germany (near Frankfurt) who ultimately settled in Nashville, Tennessee and established a major hosiery manufacturing company that continued for several generations. Various mem - bers of the family shared their stories and perspectives on the earlier generations that had lived in Germany and then im - migrated to the U.S., settling for a period in Laconia, New Hampshire, and then in Nashville. The family was instrumental in rescuing over 200 Jews from Nazi Germany. The tenor of the conver - sation during the program was quiet, informative, and without fanfare.

This paper also discusses the composer’s biographical background and musical style. I will identify in particular the similarity between art and music from a surrealistic perspective. This document contains five chapters: Chapter 1, Introduction; Chapter 2, biography of Benjamin Lees and surrealism; Chapter 3, style analyses of Lees’s Odyssey I and II ; Chapter 4, performance guidelines for Odyssey I and II ; Chapter 5, conclusion. Musical examples are included and the email correspondence from the composer, the catalogue of Lees’ piano music and the discography are provided in the Appendix. ii Dedicated to my mom in Heaven iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Professor Steven M. Glaser of the Ohio State University, for his guidance and sincere support throughout the entire process of writing this document. Without his valuable suggestions and advice, this paper would not have been possible. I am blessed to have met Dr. Patrick Woliver, who served on my D.M.A. committee throughout my four recitals and candidacy examination.
