  • Songbook II Program
    Welcome! Happy spring, and happy Mother's Day weekend! We are honored and grateful you chose to spend time sharing music with Clerestory at this busy time of year. Often our ensemble turns its musical curiosity and collaborative programming process toward American music, and Songbook II is the latest installment in that ongoing effort which we’ve named Americana. The last time we delved into the more popular styles of American music was late spring of 2015 with the first Songbook concerts. They were popular with audiences and great fun for us, who usually sing the classical or contemporary styles more associated with “serious” music. But the mantle of so-called serious music making can chafe, and meanwhile American music has always sought out connections between musical styles rather than rigid divisions. Our diversity as a people is one of our greatest strengths, and it makes our music richly varied, beautifully textured, and boundlessly energetic. Clerestory believes in giving voice to and shedding light upon great music and fascinating stories, no matter what genre they inhabit. Songbook II is a statement of American values and a clear expression of Clerestory’s musical mission. Today you’ll hear sets of songs chosen as particular examples of some of the quintessential genres that were either born or substantially developed in the United States: spirituals, jazz, barbershop, musical Theater, and American folk song. These genres have their own identities and genesis, which will be described in the notes below, but you’ll quickly hear that the lines between them are wonderfully blurry. Much barbershop music has a jazzy feel, jazz grew from African-American styles, and folk songs trace their lineage to the unwritten musical traditions of white and black alike.

Among the narrators will be former administrators, faculty members, trustees, alumni, and family of former Conservatory luminaries. Through this diverse group, we will explore the growth and expansion of the Conservatory, including its departments, organization, finances and curriculum. We will capture personal memories before they are lost, fill in gaps in our understanding of the Conservatory's history, and will uncover how the Conservatory helped to shape San Francisco's musical culture through the past century. Conrad Susa Interview This interview was conducted in four sessions at Conrad Susa’s home on Eureka Street in San Francisco on Monday, July 22, Tuesday, July 23, Wednesday, July 24 and Monday, July 29 by Conservatory marketing manager John Bischoff.
