AMERICAN CLASSICS “We’ll soon walk with joy, in a bouquet of light— Once there was a Haman, The promise of springtime is peace! His fate awaits you, too. Its bright glance will soon bring the flowers to field, And joyous and free, soon, will be the whole world— Revel, dance, you hangmen, For everyone! Even you Jews.” Jews know what suffering means; The most demanding labor PAUL SCHOENFIELD ! Moments of Confidence (Minutn Fun Bitokhn) Won’t tire us in the least. “Sweep!” you tell us? So we’ll sweep! Jews, let us be cheerful! But as long as you remain, Camp Songs • Ghetto Songs It won’t be long, I hope— There is no point to sweeping— The war will soon be over, This place will not come clean! And soon their end will come. GERARD SCHWARZ: Rudolf and Jeanette Be cheerful and don’t worry! “Wash!” you tell us? So we’ll wash! Don’t carry on in grief; But Cain’s red mark, Have patience and have confidence— And the blood from Abel’s heart, Take hard times in your stride. Cannot be washed away. Music of Remembrance Drive us from our homes! Remember: patience, confidence— Cut away our beards! Don’t let slip away Jews, let us be cheerful— Those ancient weapons that unite We’ll see them go to hell! Our people to this day!

  • Paul Schoenfield's' Refractory'method of Composition: a Study Of
    Paul Schoenfield's 'Refractory' Method of Composition: A Study of Refractions and Sha’atnez A document submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music by DoYeon Kim B.M., College-Conservatory of Music of The University of Cincinnati, 2011 M.M., Eastman School of Music of The University of Rochester, 2013 Committee Chair: Professor Yehuda Hanani Abstract Paul Schoenfield (b.1947) is a contemporary American composer whose works draw on jazz, folk music, klezmer, and a deep knowledge of classical tradition. This document examines Schoenfield’s characteristic techniques of recasting and redirecting preexisting musical materials through diverse musical styles, genres, and influences as a coherent compositional method. I call this method ‘refraction’, taking the term from the first of the pieces I analyze here: Refractions, a trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano written in 2006, which centers on melodies from Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). I will also trace the ‘refraction’ method through Sha’atnez, a trio for Violin, Cello and Piano (2013), which is based on two well-known melodies: “Pria ch’io l’impegno” from Joseph Weigl’s opera L’amor marinaro, ossia il corsaro (also known as the “Weigl tune,” best known for its appearance in the third movement of Beethoven’s Trio for Piano, Clarinet, and Cello in B-flat Major, Op.11 (‘Gassenhauer’)); and the Russian-Ukrainian folk song “Dark Eyes (Очи чёрные).” By tracing the ‘refraction’ method as it is used to generate these two works, this study offers a unified approach to understanding Schoenfield’s compositional process; in doing so, the study both makes his music more accessible for scholarly examination and introduces enjoyable new works to the chamber music repertoire.
