Forum Panelist Statements and Biographies
Winter Series Panelists January 9, 16, 23, 2010 SARA BROWN (January 9) Time as Shape: Scenic Design A stage design can ground a performance in a specificmoment in history or unmoor an audience from linear time. My designs for Images from the Embers and for Island shape time in distinct ways. Both pieces were collaborations with Dana Tai Soon Burgess & Company and dealt with similar themes of history, memory, and loss. Images from the Embers follows a woman in the years shortly after WWII. She travels through despair and madness as she is haunted by the loss of her former lover during the war. Fragments of the couple’s letters shape the physical environment, and projections and light create the only visual shifts that we see. She is trapped in a world that is a physical record of her past loss. Images from her memory appear and she shares the stage with her former self engaged in a duet with her lost love. She is stuck in her inescapable present, unable to dislodge herself from the past. Island follows a group of immigrants from China as they travel through the Angel Island Immi• gration Station. Due to the Chinese exclusion act, the island turned from a gateway to a prison. The time that the detainees spent was recorded in the form of poetry carved into the walls that held them. The dance space is definedby a single 12’x16’ projection on the floorthat is in a constant state of change throughout the performance. The immigrants are contained within this image sur• rounded by four foreboding figures that guard them. -
Harold Shapero Was Born on April 29, 1920, in Lynn, Massachusetts
Harold Shapero was born on April 29, 1920, in Lynn, Massachusetts. Raised there and in Newton, another Boston-area suburb, he was already playing the piano at age seven. By the time he reached college, he had achieved a good bit more musically than most teenagers. This included theory and composition lessons with Nicolas Slonimsky and Ernst Kenek, piano studies with Eleanor Kerr and Manfred Malkin, and a small but promising portfolio of concert music written for string trio and solo piano, even extensive experience as a jazz pianist and arranger. Shapero’s undergraduate years at Harvard University (1937–1941) saw the young man’s muse fall strongly under the spell of his teacher, Walter Piston, and the middle-period oeuvre of Igor Stravinsky, who had delivered the Charles Eliot Norton lectures at the school during the 1939–1940 academic year. Further studies with Paul Hindemith at Tanglewood (summers, 1940 and 1941) and Nadia Boulanger at the Longy School of Music (1942–1943) reinforced his stylistic inclinations within the then-dominant Neoclassic camp. Even at this time, Shapero was producing pieces far superior to those of the average music student. The sonatas for trumpet/piano duo and for piano four hands, the wind trio 3 Pieces for 3 Pieces, the String Quartet, and the Nine Minute Overture for Orchestra in fact compare favorably to the finest works of the era. The 1940s saw Shapero and his music gain much favorable attention. During this decade, he won nearly every major award a composer could hope for: the Rome Prize (1941—residency cancelled because of World War II), fellowships from the Naumburg (1942), Guggenheim (1947, 1948), and Fulbright (1948) foundations, the Joseph H. -

Shanti (peace) 9:49 TOTAL 65:04 COMMENT By Peter Child The compositions on this recording span a decade, from Jubal, completed in 2001, to Shanti, 2011. The origin of music is attributed to Jubal in The Book of Genesis, and he is featured in John Dryden’s “A Song for St. Cecilia’s Day, 1687,” a seventeenth-century meditation upon music’s powers of emotional arousal. Shanti is based upon the rasas: emotional attributions in art, music, and dance according to Indian aesthetic theory. As these pieces illustrate, the nature of musical emotion—what it is, the role that it plays for composer, performer, and listener—is a puzzle that I have returned to frequently in my music and my teaching. In between Jubal and Shanti came Adirondack Voices (2006), a piece that, like several others from this period of my work, incorporates folk materials. Some of those pieces reflected the backgrounds of the musicians that I wrote for; others were responses to my own travels, which gave rise to works based upon tunes from places as far-flung as Scotland and Kazakhstan. -

In those days a blend of political revolution, sexual revolution, and mysticism was very much in the air, and to many of us who were part of that rebellious culture Blake seemed astoundingly prescient. The seeds of this piece were sown at that time. My ‘Blake piece’ was a long time coming: the opportunity to write this cantata for the MIT Concert Choir was the catalyst that finally brought it out. -
