Compassion is to “be with” another’s suffering and this is the theme that surrounds our performances and dialogues. 4 5 The festival’s centerpiece and culmination is J.S. Bach’s monumental PROGRAM: PIETÀ masterpiece, the St. Matthew Passion. Along with many musicians and listeners who know and have experienced the St Mathew Passion, I return to it with immense gratitude to be once again the beneficiary Pietà ........................................................................ JOHN MUEHLEISEN (B. 1955) of it all it has to offer on so many levels. The St Matthew Passion was formative in my musical life, and it is a special privilege for me – and Prologue Processional my distinguished musical colleagues who gather here from around the Exhortation and Questions: “Do not let your hearts be troubled” nation – to share this work with you. We say a very special welcome to those of you for whom this is a first opportunity to hear it. Scene One (The Son) Passion Interlude (The Son) “Today the Master of Creation stands before Pilate” Leading up to the St Matthew performances, we are eager to share with Jack Kipling’s Final Letter: “Just a hurried line…” you several modern Passion settings and to engage with you around Song: “Just before the battle, Mother” these listening experiences. John Muehleisen’s beautiful recent work Chorale: Soldier’s Dream (“I dreamed kind Jesus fouled the big-gun gears”) Pieta is a compelling passion setting, comprised of a rich variety of texts and musical styles and a broad range of source materials including an Scene Two (The Mother) intriguing collection of borrowed music. The dazzling twin composers Passion Interlude (The Mother): “Today the blameless Virgin saw Thee suspended upon the Cross” Brad and Doug Balliett have created a dynamic and provocative Gnostic My Boy Jack Passion, inspired by the apocryphal “secret gospel” The Acts of John. This Chorale: At a Calvary near the Ancre “One ever hangs where shelled roads part” is a wonderfully fresh and radical work. The brothers state that their influences for this collage-like mélange are Stravinsky, Berlioz, Verdi, Scene Three (Calvary) the Beatles, and the Dirty Projectors. Passion Interlude (The Crucifixion): “Today He who hung the earth upon the waters is hung upon the cross” Additionally, the Conspirare singers and I present a workshop perfor- The Passion of the Son mance of a work I will be composing in the coming months, Consider- Lament ing Matthew Shepard.

Passion Interlude (The Descent from the Cross) Your listening and participation will add meaning and presence to the “Give me this Stranger” music-making and will strengthen the experiences greatly. As we listen “…in her waiting arms” together to the many expressive voices we will hear, both composers and Lullaby (Mary’s Song) musicians alike, perhaps we can share stories with each other of how Duet: “Do not lament me, O Mother” this music moves us, where it touches us.

  • Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from JS Bach's
    Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Johann Jacob Van Niekerk A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Giselle Wyers, Chair Geoffrey Boers Shannon Dudley Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music ©Copyright 2014 Johann Jacob Van Niekerk University of Washington Abstract Messiahs and Pariahs: Suffering and Social Conscience in the Passion Genre from J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) to David Lang’s the little match girl passion (2007) Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Giselle Wyers Associate Professor of Choral Music and Voice The themes of suffering and social conscience permeate the history of the sung passion genre: composers have strived for centuries to depict Christ’s suffering and the injustice of his final days. During the past eighty years, the definition of the genre has expanded to include secular protagonists, veiled and not-so-veiled socio- political commentary and increased discussion of suffering and social conscience as socially relevant themes. This dissertation primarily investigates David Lang’s Pulitzer award winning the little match girl passion, premiered in 2007. David Lang’s setting of Danish author and poet Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl” interspersed with text from the chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. Matthew Passion (1727) has since been performed by several ensembles in the United States and abroad, where it has evoked emotionally visceral reactions from audiences and critics alike.

  • Changes in the Sensory Characteristics of Mango Cultivars During the Production of Mango Purée and Sorbet
    DIFFERENCES IN SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AMONG VARIOUS MANGO CULTIVARS IN THE FORM OF FRESH SLICED MANGO, MANGO PURÉE, AND MANGO SORBET by CHRISTIE N. LEDEKER B.S., University of Delaware, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Interdisciplinary Food Science Graduate Program Department of Human Nutrition KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores H. Chambers Abstract Fresh mangoes are highly perishable, and therefore, they are often processed to extend shelf-life and facilitate exportation. Studying the transformation that mango cultivars undergo throughout processing can aid in selecting appropriate varieties for products. In the 1st part of this study, the flavor and texture properties of 4 mango cultivars available in the United States (U.S.) were analyzed. Highly trained descriptive panelists in the U.S. evaluated fresh, purée, and sorbet samples prepared from each cultivar. Purées were made by pulverizing mango flesh, passing it through a china cap, and heating it to 85 °C for 15 s. For the sorbets, purées were diluted with water (1:1), sucrose was added, and the bases were frozen in a batch ice cream freezer. Much of the texture variation among cultivars was lost after fresh samples were transformed into purées, whereas much of the flavor and texture variation among cultivars was lost once fresh mangoes and mango purées were transformed into sorbets. Compared to the other cultivars, Haden and Tommy Atkins underwent greater transformations in flavor throughout sorbet preparation, and processing reduced the intensities of some unpleasant flavors in these cultivars.

Back in the 1940s, she said, University of Miami (UM) football players would sometimes assist with heavy lifting projects around the Garden. Any time there were massive boulders or tree trunks to be moved,A Dr. David Fairchild would phone the UM football coach and make a plea for help. I have never found proof of this in our archives, but the story fits with what we know of Dr. Fairchild’s creativity and persuasiveness. It also reflects a collaborative spirit that still exists between our Garden and local universities. Today we still have massive projects we can’t do ourselves, and we receive help from UM, Florida International University (FIU) and Miami-Dade College (MDC) in unexpected ways.
