2 From Our President Thank you for coming! I anticipate that you will thoroughly enjoy tonight's performance. Dr. Brinckmeyer has assembled a program that includes music from a wide variety of periods and styles. Taken together they illustrate very well what an ensemble of our size and caliber is capable of. I sincerely hope that you will join us for the rest of our performances this season. Dr. John Weiss will be leading us in those concerts and the details are on the back page. For Christmas, we plan an extravaganza of "Magnificats," music based on the "Song of Mary" from Luke 1:46-55 ("My soul magnifies the Lord,..."). Many classical composers have used this prayer as the basis for some beautiful music. A portion of that program will include our traditional Carol-Sing-Along. In March we plan to perform Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem (A German Requiem), a great work that will require a full orchestra. You may remember at our Uniontown concert this past May, we performed "How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place," which is the centerpiece of the requiem; this year we will be singing the entire requiem in German, but we do plan to have subtitles. We end our season at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Uniontown, a setting that is inspiring for the kind of choral music that we enjoy bringing to you. If you haven't yet bought season tickets, please consider purchasing a packet of three tickets for the remaining concerts for only $24 during intermission. Season tickets are one of the best values we offer: each season ticket may be used at any concert. After tonight you can still purchase a bundle of four Season Tickets, good at any concert, for just $32 through our Box Office. k Gordon Thomas, President of the Chorale Palouse Chapter Enological Society of the Pacific Northwest k South American Wine & Food October 18 at 7:00 pm $25 Members, $34 Guests St. Mark s Episcopal Church, Moscow All events are reservation only.

As musical director of the Royal Academy of Music he became London s leading composer and director of Italian operas, though he is best known for his oratorios, particularly the Messiah (1741), the most influential and widely performed oratorio of all time. Among his other outstanding oratorios are Samson (Awake the Trumpet s Lofty Sound) (1741), Belshazzar (1744), and Solomon (1748). Based on Old Testament stories, the oratorios are three-act dramatic works, similar to operas but performed in concert, without staging or action. They are unusual in their prominent use of the chorus and the middle class welcomed his use of English. Randall Thompson, Glory to God in the Highest, has been described as American in spirit, yet universal in his appeal. Although Thompson was born in New York City in 1899 and grew up in New Jersey, he was a New Englander at heart. In 1933 he received his doctorate in music from the University of Rochester School of Music. In 1935, a survey which Thompson organized was responsible for revolutionizing the instruction and performance of music on America s college campuses. The printed study led to increased competence and professionalism in the performance of college choirs. Thompson died in 1984 after a musical career that covered more than 60 years. He helped define American choral music and left a legacy of both composition and instructional method for which all lovers of choral music can be grateful. Thomas Tallis uses text taken from St. John 14: 15-17, and If Ye Love Me is one of his most Program Notes popular works. Tallis was known for his ability to wed the melody to the natural cadence of the poetry he used. So highly regarded were Tallis Latin compositions that alternative English texts were found for several of his Latin motets, thus allowing the pieces to be performed in Anglican Church services. Tallis was one of the first to write for the new Anglican liturgy of Much of his music is set in four parts with clear syllabic word setting, representative of the standard early English anthem. Hans Leo Hassler, an important German composer and organist of the late Renaissance, was born in Nuremberg in He left Nuremberg in 1584 for further studies in Venice. During his eighteen months in Venice, Hassler studied with Andrea Gabrieli ( ) and became a colleague of Giovanni Gabrieli (c ), with whom he composed a wedding motet in This piece was written to be performed in Venice s St. Mark s Cathedral. Compositions for double choir worked especially well in that venue with the men and women facing each other. Text for Verbum caro factum est is paraphrased from the King James version of St. John I:14. Hassler is seen as the first great German Protestant composer. His early works for the Roman church reflect much Italian and Venetian influence. His later works are more ethnically German and seem to flow out of the spirit of German folk song. Contemporary composer Jere Hutcheson uses spontaneous sounds and gestures of children to compile the bulk of Lament for a Lost Child. Hutcheson uses these activities in such a way as to express memories of a lost child. Igor Stravinsky, the Russian/international composer of Ave Maria, studied with Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and his early works, Symphony No. 1 in E Flat for example, show the influence of

4 that master. Soon after he came under the influence of the French impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, while retaining his nationalist outlook. At the end of World War I Stravinsky became interested in classical procedures and with expanded harmonic language. Between the two wars, he was probably the most influential modern composer, especially in the US and France. René Clausen, All That Hath Life and Breath Praise Ye the Lord!, is the conductor of the Concordia Choir at Concordia College, Moorhead, MN, where she teaches choral conducting and serves as artistic director of the college's nationally-broadcast Christmas concerts each year. Dr. Clausen also regularly conducts major choral and orchestral performances throughout the world. In Oh My Luve s Like a Red, Red Rose both the melody and text of this lyrical song are familiar to the people in the British Isles and America. A stained glass window honors this poetry of Robert Burns in St. Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland. Traditional spirituals are always enjoyable to sing for choral groups of all levels and Witness is no exception for the chorale. Spirituals were only written during the period of American slavery and many of them had coded references to emancipation. Michael Hennagin, Walking on the Green Grass, was born in Oregon in 1936, but grew up in Los Angeles. During his later student years, Hennagin supported himself by frequently copying and orchestrating for Jerrie Goldsmith and by ghostwriting portions of some film scores for Goldsmith and the famed choral conductor Roger Wagner. Hennagin left Hollywood in 1961, to attend the Aspen Summer Music Festival as a student of French composer Darius Milhaud, and afterwards, to pursue a degree at the renowned Program Notes Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he was the only composer in the previous four years to be granted admission on full scholarship. Hennagin embarked on a long and successful career as a university professor and composer of concert music. By the time of his death in 1993 at the age of 56, Hennagin was recognized as one of this country s leading composers of choral music. He had just completed a major choral work, Proud Music, based on the poetry of Walt Whitman and commissioned by the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute, which performed the work in the several days after his death. Lyrics for The Water is Wide are part of a long Scots ballad: Lord Jamie Douglas. Music plays a central role in African societies and is an integral part of everyday life. Distinction between performers and audience is blurred; everyone participates. Characteristics of hymns brought by missionaries from various Christian denominations have been incorporated into choral music of South Africa. The Swazi people might sing NoDolly at a wedding or other family or community event. Notice that the movement during the second part of the song is based on a gesture of embrace. Once the Civil War came to a close and freed slaves moved into the cities of the North, the spirituals did not seem to fit their new lifestyle. Consequently, Gospel music, Praise His Holy Name!, was created in the early 1920 s. Most Gospel artists agree that the message of the music is the most important aspect of the song.

She enjoys knowing most of her fellow students and has already made many great friends. She especially likes not being dependant on the ferry. The last ferry from Anacortes to Guemes Island runs at 6:00 pm and Courtney is enjoying the ability to hang out with friends or run downtown at 8:00pm and still sleep in her own bed that night! IWCC thanks Courtney for sharing her art with us and Steve Teare of BetterBrochure for designing our season poster! Glory by Courtney Powell Courtney Powell, a freshman minoring in Music at Whitworth College in Spokane, is the featured artist for our Season Poster. Courtney hails from Guemes Island in the San Juan Islands and graduated from Anacortes High School in She has sung in choirs for many years and also enjoys playing her guitar, listening to music, and reading. Glory was created during Courtney s high school Crafts class using adhesive to fix the glass to plywood before filling it in with grout. The design came from the glass, she had a wing and a dress and decided to make them into a girl or angel. The red corner pieces are were intended as sun rays in a friend s work. The background pieces were broken up with a hammer and worked in. Courtney was invited to show two pieces at the 2003 Anacortes Arts & Crafts Festival. Glory was named as Courtney completed the paperwork. Courtney gives this explanation for her choice, I wrote Glory because, although I m still not sure whether the person is an angel or a human, I am sure that they are glorifying God.
