As a child growing up in a small village surrounded by rice fields, I was exposed to this practice as a part of folk music, and would later hear the music of other cultures share this approach. In contemporary Western music, however, vocalization was most often used as a special effect. I would eventually seek to incorporate vocalization in a more comprehensive manner that was integral to the work while reflecting a similar timelessness and cultural resonance as in the folk music I remembered. The first significant occasion I had to experiment with this idea was in Susan Ung’s Moon Ritual, a structured improvisation in the late 1970s in which Susan played her viola through a Buchla synthesizer while I played cello and vocalized, using syllables for their sound character. The idea remained on the back burner for twenty years before I brought it forth in a major work, Grand Alap, for cello and percussion, in which both parts featured extensive vocalization.

  • The Work of Cambodian-American Composer Chinary Ung Represents
    The work of Cambodian-American composer Chinary Ung represents one of the more successful attempts to accomplish a musical integration of East and West, resulting in a style that is uniquely his own. To a large extent this has been his goal from the beginning of his career. In general, Ung’s music is resplendent with lush romantic harmonies, rhythmic complexities, and lyrical melodic passages, an amalgamation that, together with his own idiosyncratic compositional technique, has evolved over the course of time. He has developed an individual language out of his own specific “images,” which are reflections of certain life episodes, natural objects, and personal philosophy. One finds in Ung’s music a unique musical “ambiance” and “color,” a heightened sensitivity to “the characteristics of tones and phrases and the spiritual implications of how it affects listeners.” He has remarked, “If East is yellow and West is blue, then my music is green.” Except for a self-imposed hiatus (1974–1985) during which time he was preoccupied with catastrophic events in Cambodia, Ung has been composing consistently since 1970 and for a brief period was fitting into the prevailing post- Webern mode of composition. During that break he began an exhaustive study of the music of his native land and the integration of Asian and Western ideas. From 1985 on he has been seeking to refine his authentic creative voice. The four pieces on this recording, all written during the 1990s, represent Ung’s postmodern style. They tend to be more eclectic and esoteric than his previous compositions, often with interlocking subject matter and musical similarities.

  • CMS Southern Chapter Regional Conference
    1 CMS Southern Chapter Regional Conference February 25 – 27, 2021 Virtual Conference 2 A Message from the CMS Southern Chapter President Welcome to the 42nd Annual Conference of the CMS Southern Chapter! What a wonderful conference we had last year in Nashville at Vanderbilt, though it would end up being one of the few CMS regional conferences that took place in the spring. The year 2020 was indeed a difficult one, with a global pandemic, severe economic hardship and uncertainty, and a polarizing political climate during an election year. Like many other CMS chapters, we’re holding our conference online this year, and preparing for this conference has been unlike any other year in the 42 years of existence. But we charge ahead! This year’s conference will include all of the excellent performances, demonstrations, papers, posters, panels, and concerts that would occur during any year. Oral presentations (papers, panels, demonstrations, lecture recitals, and posters) will occur via Zoom meetings hosted by the session chair. All concerts will also occur on Zoom, and performances are pre- recorded and shared during the event by the session host. AirMeet will serve as our platform for hosting all Zoom sessions. Links to sessions are found in the AirMeet link (provided to all registrants via email). We are honored to have Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings as our keynote speaker this year. Dr. Ladson-Billings is a renowned pedagogical theorist and teacher/educator. She will be joining us via Zoom on Saturday at 1pm for a presentation and Q&A session regarding her research as well as the powerful role music can play in change, reconstruction, and inclusivity.
