  • The Winterreise Project Annie Shikany, Director Evgenia Truksa and Shiyu Tan, Pianists DIRECTOR’S NOTE
    Friday, December 18, 2020 CLASSICAL VOICE SECOND YEAR PERFORMANCE CLASS presents The Winterreise Project Annie Shikany, Director Evgenia Truksa and Shiyu Tan, Pianists DIRECTOR’S NOTE The Second Year Performance Class is excited to present Müller and Schubert’s masterpiece Winterreise (Winter Journey). Each student is performing a song from the cycle (recorded either on site at MSM or remotely from the students’ individual locations). We explored the song cycle through the lens of the identity of “Fremd” declared in Gute Nacht. Usually translated as “stranger/ foreigner,” the Fremdling is revealed upon deeper investigation to be a foreigner in their own land. We widened the scope of our exploration to include Black and indigenous poets and poets of color—poets of our time— who verbally distill the truth of the Fremdling journey as well as utilize nature and symbolism in the same manner as Müller. Framing Winterreise in this way has created a sense of community within our class as well as expanded our understanding of community as we open our consciousness to the journeys of others and a more complete picture of the human journey. Thank you for your continued support of these young singers and these performance opportunities, which are so important to their exciting journey of artistic growth! Enjoy the show! –Annie Shikany Winterreise, D. 911 Poems by Willhelm Müller Music by Franz Schubert 1. Gute Nacht (“Good Night”) Gavon Mitchell, baritone Putnam Valley, New York Student of Catherine Malfitano Shiyu Tan, pianist A stranger I arrived here, Why should I stay longer a stranger I go hence.

"In writing the libretto for his opera The Aspern Papers (1988), Argento moved Henry James’s setting from Venice to the shores of Lake Como in order to recreate the ambience of 19th-century operatic life as experienced by the artists who resided there… [Argento's] harmony teacher, Nicolas Nabokov, urged him to focus on composition, and through this influence as well as contact with the Baltimore composer Hugo Weisgall, Argento’s pronounced gift for vocal writing was furthered... While [his] vocal music is often described as eclectic, several characteristics recur as unifying hallmarks. The theme of self-discovery permeates his entire output. Further, Argento claims his compositional technique exists only in so far as it allows him to effectively communicate text and subtext, resulting in a uniquely intimate relationship between the text and his music."
