It wa the mot intene learning experience that I have ever had, Haler aid. And I loved every waking minute of it. Buy Seaon of Premiere for Compoer Tharp Aaron Ziegel, Contributing Writer Reynold Tharp compoition San Francico Night premiered in New York City in the opening concert of the Mueum of Modern Art Summergarden concert erie (July 11, 2010). On September 4, 2010, the Allerton Muic Barn Fetival preented it firt world-premiere commiion: Anima Liberata, compoed by Reynold Tharp, UI aitant profeor of compoition-theory. The work for oprano, cello, and piano, et to muic text by poet Joy Pierce Mathew that were written exprely for Tharp ue. Anima Liberata wa premiered by faculty member Yvonne Gonzale Redman (oprano), Dmitry Kouzov (cello), and Julie Gunn (piano). The commiioning of new work mark an innovative direction for the Allerton Muic Barn Fetival. Tharp hope that thi part of Karl Kramer artitic viion of the fetival i only the beginning of many more year of new muic by living compoer adding to the timulating diverity of Allerton concert. Although Mathew provided ix eparate poem, Tharp ought to create a more continuou tructure and joined the text in three interconnected movement, with a cyclic return of the opening material at the work end. The compoer multifaceted ue of the cello i one of Anima Liberata mot triking muical feature. It i alternately a wordle voice given ong of it own, a duet partner to the oprano, or a coloritic addition to the piano accompanimental texture. Indeed, the concept of interconnectedne erve a the overarching theme of the whole work. The compoer explain, I tried cloely to follow the mood and imagery of the poem, and the clarity of the text etting wa alway foremot in my mind. When conceiving Anima Liberata (the liberated oul), the idea wa to communicate the beauty of Taoit thought about the interconnectedne of all matter, the relationhip between humanity and the como, Mathew aid. To thi end, he provided poem that celebrate the rhythm of life, with hopeful and grateful, if witful, acceptance of life beginning and ending. Interconnection play out acro all level of the work in it poetic content, formal tructure, muical oundcape, and in the lyricim hared by voice and cello. The work i a noteworthy addition to the repertoire of American art ong and chamber muic. Earlier in the ummer, The Juilliard School of Muic New Juilliard Enemble, conducted by Joel Sach, preented Tharp San Francico Night in the opening concert of the Mueum of Modern Art Summergarden erie. The July 11 performance, which marked the work New York premiere, wa preented outdoor at The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, et among the modernit culpture of Pablo Picao, Joan Miró, and Alexander Calder. The urban noie of a midtown Manhattan evening competed with Tharp muical reflection upon a nocturnal San Francico Bay but apparently did not detract from the muic. The New York Time critic Steve Smith hailed the work a a winner, praiing it elegant, airy and weightle figuration that made you eager to hear more from Mr. Tharp. The origin of San Francico Night can be traced back to Tharp recall how he wa watching the evening fog roll in on the lat day of a viit to San Francico and wa reminded of a imilarly inpired work by compoer György Ligeti. The next morning Tharp learned of Ligeti death. The chance aociation of San Francico fog and the melancholy of lo became the tarting point for my San Francico Night, he aid. The work employ a unique eight-intrument chamber enemble made up of flute, clarinet, horn, trumpet, vibraphone, piano, violin, and cello. Yet in Tharp intricate coring, the enemble create a ound world more akin to an orchetra in miniature than to chamber muic. Acro it ingle-movement pan, the compoer manipulate imple riing and falling contour often overlapping and paed among the variou intrument at different rhythmic peed to create what he decribe a intricately detailed, floating texture that recall the preading fog. Wherea the more recent Anima Liberata purue a vocally oriented lyricim, the earlier work focue intead on the coloritic effect of timbre and texture. The trong New York reception for Tharp compoition led to an invitation from conductor Joel Sach to compoe a piece for the full intrumentation of the New Juilliard Enemble to be premiered in a ubequent eaon. Other current project include a duo for flute and harp, written for faculty member Jonathan Keeble (flute) and Ann Yeung (harp). w in t e r

Although the School of Muic began producing operetta and opera cene a early a 1931, through occaional affiliation with the Illini Theatre Guild, opera wa firt introduced into the formal muic curriculum at the Univerity of Illinoi only in the late Begun under the vigorou leaderhip of Ludwig Zirner ( ), Opera at Illinoi continue a one of the hining jewel in the crown of the School of Muic. continued on page 10 w in t e r

After World War II, interet in the tudy and performance of opera in the United State, epecially at the univerity level, dramatically increaed. The Opera Workhop movement date from that time, and Illinoi wa an early leader in the movement. Scene from opera, preented in Englih with minimal et and cotume, emphaized theatrical a well a muical value. The workhop movement, in general and Zirner pioneering effort at the Univerity of Illinoi, in particular preented opera to a new audience that wa eager to dicover it myriad pleaure. The firt public preentation of opera cene at Illinoi, offered on May 2, 1949, included Menotti The Old Maid and the Thief (cene i), with piano accompaniment by Jack Neuhau, and Puccini La Bohème (Act IV), accompanied by Grace Wilon. The performance were preented on a motly bare concert tage in Smith Hall, which lacked even a curtain. Zirner hoped that thee limitation in addition to the abence of an orchetra would timulate the performer interpretative imagination and would ideally lead to a more expreive and incere performance. Evidently hi goal were fulfilled, becaue a critic for the Daily Illini wrote that the performer eemed to live their part. A review in the Champaign New-Gazette recalled that everyone from the director to the tage hand received enthuiatic curtain call. Eric Dalheim, former chair of the accompanying diviion, provide thi wonderful anecdote about Grace Wilon: One ummer, long BAC [before air-conditioning] in Smith Recital Hall, with outer door open and large fan running, we were taking turn at the piano (placed next to the organ), accompanying a performance of opera cene. Two of our le-thantellar inger were in the midt of a dramatic excerpt, when a large-ih dog trotted down the center [aile] barking aggreively. I wa at the keyboard. The inger topped, I topped, the dog barked, and a member of the weltering audience removed Fido to laughter and applaue. It wa at thi juncture that Grace, who poeed, for thoe of u who knew her, a droll ene of humor, leaned toward me and aid: A muic critic, no doubt! Thi ent me into pam of laughter, which only gradually ubided a we retarted and finihed the cene. Only later did I ponder: Did he mean the dog or it remover? When aked later, her only reply wa an enigmatic mile. Throughout hi tenure at Illinoi, from 1946 to 1971, Zirner, along with hi wife, Laura, would preent facinating production of opera by compoer a varied a Monteverdi and Mozart, Pergolei and Puccini, Verdi and Richard Strau. He would coach the performer and tage, tranlate, and conduct the opera, while he would deign the et and cotume. A generation of opera-goer cherihe the memory of the Zirner production of Strau Ariadne auf Naxo at Smith Hall in For the final week of the Univerity of Illinoi year-long centennial celebration in 1968, the Zirner received pecial funding from the Illinoi Art Council to tage a new production of Gunther Schuller The Viitation Coì fan tutte (2001)

13 at the Aembly Hall. Written for an 80-piece orchetra upplemented by a even-piece jazz enemble, Schuller core amalgamated element of claical muic with contemporary jazz. The Univerity of Illinoi wa the firt univerity opera program to tage thi highly controverial new work, which confronted iue of race, tolerance, and human right at the peak of the civil right and antiwar movement on campue nationwide. It wa choen, Zirner aid in an interview with Ebony magazine in June 1968, becaue it had an ethical meage related to our time. Preentation of the opera wa a matter of expreing what might be an unpleaant truth, but thi i the ort of creative role that a univerity hould play. The performance wa conducted by the compoer (then preident of the New England Conervatory of Muic), with the cat of more than 50 inger led by guet artit Simon Ete in the role of Carter Jone. Following the opening of Krannert Center for the Performing Art in 1969, Zirner offered a production of Wagner Da Rheingold, deigned by Wolf Siegfried Wagner, great-grandon of Richard and Coima Wagner. The production wa noted for the extenive ue of rolling platform, a novelty at the time. Among the cat wa the fine young baritone William Stone (M.M. 68, Ph.D. 79), who went on to a prominent career a a profeional opera inger. From 1946 to 1974, Laura Zirner, who had received her formal training in the viual art in Vienna, contributed not only to opera production at Illinoi but alo to the evolution of theatrical deign more widely through her experimentation with the ue of Photo courtey of the Univerity of Illinoi Archive Laura Zirner, who deigned cotume and et for The Rape of Lucretia, with Ewell Cornett, who ang the role of Tarquiniu in the Benjamin Britten opera preented in March abtracted period cotume and implified cenic element, which he referred to a unit. Her development of the concept of unit et (a ingle etting that could repreent a variety of locale), coordinated with cotume piece pared down to fundamental or eential deign element, grew out of the need to produce cot-effective and eaily changeable cenery for the School pot World War II opera workhop. Her innovative idea were dieminated in a book, Cotuming for the Modern Stage, publihed by the Univerity of Illinoi Pre in June 1957, and through her work at the Berkhire Muic Fetival at Tanglewood, where he deigned and coordinated opera production during the ummer from 1952 to The American tenor and tage director David Lloyd, who worked with the Zirner at Tanglewood, later recalled that the veratility [of her deign] made it poible to put on many more production in a ummer. It wa a great national contribution. Lloyd preence on the Urbana campu from 1971 to 1986, in hi pot a artitic director of the opera diviion, heralded a gloriou period for w in t e r Le Conte d Hoffmann (2002) 11

14 o n or i t i e 12 opera at Illinoi. With inger uch a Jerry Hadley (M.M. 77), Erie Mill (M.M. 77), Eric Halfvaron (B.M. 74, M.M. 76), and Kallen Eperian (B.M. 84), Lloyd preented eaon that included Stravinky The Rake Progre (May 1971 and April May 1976) and Maenet Manon (July and September 1977), both directed by Adelaide Bihop; Puccini Toca (October November 1977) and Gounod Faut (April 1979), directed by Nichola DiVirgilio; and hi own memorable production of Dominick Argento Potcard from Morocco (February March 1985). When Lloyd left Illinoi to direct the opera program at The Juilliard School, the Univerity hired Mark Flint, a dynamic young conductor. Audience will remember Flint viually tunning Faltaff (October November 1986), directed by Lou Galterio, which featured voice profeor Ronald Hedlund in the title role, a well a a enitively conducted La Bohème (April 1987) in Italian with upertitle (their firt ue at Illinoi), directed by Bernard Uzan. The eaon began with the nine-month appointment of conductor Richard Boldrey, formerly of the Chicago Lyric Opera, a chair of the opera diviion. Boldrey, whoe expertie wa in the teaching of young inger, left at the end of the academic year to aume a poition at the Univerity of Colorado at Boulder. He i known for a beautiful production of Puccini eldom-heard La Rondine (November 1989), directed by DiVirgilio, and a controverial Coì fan tutte (April 1990), directed by Tom Rowan and et in India in The arrival of Kurt Klipptatter in 1990 brought an increaed emphai on opera a drama. Uing both in-houe and guet director and deigner, he et high tandard for excellence. Following hi firt production, Le nozze di Figaro, in November 1990, he produced Scott Joplin Treemoniha, with Ollie Watt Davi inging the title role, in February In the fall of that year, in honor of the 200th anniverary of the death of Mozart, he preented muicology profeor Nichola Temperley Act I completion and orchetration of L oca del Cairo on a double bill with Stravinky Le Roignol. Jut before thi production, L oca del Cairo wa ung in a concert verion at the national American Muicological Society meeting in Chicago, and it wa later revived on tage at the Orqueta Sinfónica del Sodre, in Montevideo, Uruguay, with Carlo Weike conducting in Augut One of the high point of Klipptatter tenure wa the production of Dominick Argento The Apern Paper (February 1994), directed by Robert DeSimone of The Univerity of Texa at Autin. Argento libretto wa baed on the nouvelle by Henry Jame, although it make the title character a compoer rather than an author. Illinoi, once again, took the lead a the firt univerity opera program to tage thi lyrical materpiece, which had received it profeional premiere in Dalla in The Illinoi cat included Amy Fuller (M.M. 95), Nathan Gunn (B.M. 94), Martín Solá (M.M. 94), John Bellemer (M.M. 94), and Layna Chianaka (M.M. 98). DeSimone aked for a unit et of large platform painted to reemble muic manucript and arranged at variou angle. The production, which ended with a pectacular fire achieved through pecial lighting effect, wa wellreceived by both critic and audience. In the ummer of 1994, an intereting double bill of Menotti The Medium, with mezzo-oprano Mignon Dunn in the title role, and Donizettti rarely heard The Prima Donna Mother I a Drag (or Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali) with Hedlund in the lead role of a tage mother from Hell, both delighted and chilled the audience. Roméo and Juliette (2002)

15 Mozart Don Giovanni in February 1996 featured cotume from La Scala in Milan, while Madama Butterfly in November of that year wa deigned and directed by Shozo Sato in the Kabuki tyle. One of the ignature touche of Sato deign wa a red curtain that dropped dramatically a the orchetra ounded the final chord. In honor of the 100th anniverary of the birth of Franci Poulenc, the opera diviion preented hi Dialogue of the Carmelite in February Thi powerful opera, which tell the tory of a group of Carmelite nun who take the vow of martyrdom during the French Revolution, i a work that challenge any opera company. It had it premiere at La Scala in Production oon followed in Pari, Vienna, and London. At Illinoi, two trong cat, under the direction of Richard Barrett, brought thi drama to life, epecially the powerful final cene in which, one by one, the nun are guillotined and, one by one, their voice ceae to be heard. In 1999, Klipptatter took a poition at Northwetern Univerity. During the next five year before the appointment of Eduardo Diazmuñoz in 2004 the opera diviion wa guided by the Opera Coordinating Committee. Uing reident and guet conductor uch a Donald Schleicher, Michel Singher, and Steven Crawford, and reident and guet director DiVirgilio, June Card, and Lincoln Clark, the committee inured that a high level of muical and dramatic achievement would be maintained. Roini Il barbiere di Siviglia a pirited production that included flying heep opened the eaon, followed in February 2000 by an idiomatic production of Britten Albert Herring, conducted by Ian Hobon and directed by Stephen Fiol. Debuy operatic materpiece Pelléa et Méliande, directed by DeSimone and conducted by Schleicher, et a high mark for production value robotic lighting, flying cenery, and tunning viual effect coupled with uperb inging and playing of thi demanding core. Schleicher alo conducted Card production of Le nozze di Figaro in February 2001 and Coì fan tutte in November of that year. In February 2002, Offenbach Le Conte d Hoffmann wa given a pectacular cenic production. Conducted with great authority by Singher and directed by DiVirgilio, it boated a cat that included Darren Anderon (M.M. 03), Stephanie Chiga, Ben Copeland, Brent W. Davi (M.M. 02), Chadley Ballantyne (M.M. 03), and Elizabeth Antle. Cheter Alwe, profeor of choral muic, wa choru mater and alo appeared in the production. The eaon opened with a Puccini double bill, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi. They were given a viually beautiful taging, and DiVirgilio brought out the uffering of Siter Angelica by hi enitive direction it wa hi lat production at Illinoi. The wonderful comedy of Schicchi fairly glowed (it even had another cameo by Alwe a a very dead corpe). Diazmuñoz conducting of thee late Puccini work had great authority. Hi matery wa confirmed later in the eaon by the production of Sondheim Sweeney Todd. Viually, the production captured the ooty, grimy, crime-filled treet of 19th-century London, and Fiol directed a cat that included far too many talented people to lit here. The cat and orchetra reponded to the demand of thi difficult core, and very few who were in the audience will forget the tunned ilence at the end of the evening. For the final ten minute, no cough were heard, no candy unwrapped; all attention wa directed to the tage. The eaon ended with Purcell The Fairy w in t e r Madama Butterfly (1996) 13

A umptuou production of Leonard Berntein operetta Candide followed in February Jerry Hadley, who had recorded the title role under the direction of the compoer, returned to hi alma mater to aume a variety of role on tage, and Diazmuñoz, a tudent of the compoer, conducted. Fiol erved a tage director, Alwe wa choru mater, and the audience traveled the globe, looking for the bet of all poible world. Key directed an elegant production of La traviata in November 2005, with cotume deigned by Jame Berton Harri. Thi wa followed by a double bill of Ravel comedy L Heure epagnole paired with Falla La vida breve, both directed by Fiol. A collaboration with the dance department and the New Muic Enemble reulted in a econd double bill that eaon: Stravinky L Hitoire du oldat, with choreography by Rebecca Nettl- Fiol, and the Weill and Brecht Mahagonny-Songpiel, directed by Michael Scholar. David Warfel deigned a high-tech et that etablihed a new way of approaching operatic production at Illinoi.

A large-cale projection piece had never been done at Illinoi, and the reident producer of KCPA felt it wa time. Uing equipment that the Center already owned, Warfel put together a ytem that required five operator, four computer, and four projector to diplay hundred of image for the two opera, all of which including the operator wa expoed ontage in an attempt to reveal the technological underpinning of the production. Although the initial experimentation wa labor-intenive, it led directly to invetment by the Center in technologie that allowed the creative taff to ue multiple projector with greater eae and Rigoletto (2010)

Virtually every how that ha utilized projection at Illinoi ince then ha ued technology purchaed a a reult of experimentation for thoe opera. Local community production have alo benefited from the development of the more cot-effective electronic cenography, including a co-production of The Nutcracker by the Champaign- Urbana Ballet and Sinfonia da Camera in In honor of the 75th anniverary of the College of Fine and Applied Art in 2006, a gala production of Berntein Ma wa preented in Foellinger Great Hall. Reflecting it ubtitle, A Theatre Piece for Singer, Player, and Dancer, Ma enlited performer from the theatre and dance department, along with the School of Muic. Lighting effect turned the Great Hall into a church, and Eric Stone deigned a high altar that wa placed at the top of a ramp, eparating the orchetra into two ection. Berntein core, which call for a large orchetra, variou chorue, an expanded percuion ection, and prerecorded muic, focue on the crii of faith uffered by the Celebrant, ung by baritone Ricardo Herrera. Jame Zager directed the action, and John Dayger choreographed. The combined chorue were prepared by Chet Alwe and Fred Stoltzfu. A the final word of the celebrant were poken, Go in Peace, there wa a huh in the audience that lated everal econd. Of coure, there are many other production to peak of: Jerold Siena Madama Butterfly (February 2007), Fiol production of Joeph Turrin The Scarecrow (April 2007), Key La Bohème (November 2007), and Kathleen Conlin Coì fan tutte (February 2008). Each of thee production featured uperb inging, excellent direction, and beautifully executed cenery. One of the high point of the eaon wa the production of Daniel Catán Rappaccini Daughter (February 2009), performed in the preence of the compoer. Diazmuñoz had previouly conducted the world premiere, American premiere, and Manhattan School of Muic premiere of thi work. Directed at Illinoi by Fiol, with brilliant et and cotume by DeAnne Kennedy and Su Min Kim, it captured the horror of Rappaccini viion of a new world order. Strongly ung by two gifted cat, it met with Catán approval. In the pring of 2009, School of Muic alumnu Neely Bruce (M.M. 66, D.M.A. 71) returned to campu with a unique approach to Hanel and Gretel. Hi facination with o many different muical tyle lyric opera, folk ong, jazz, rock, rap, and dico were reflected in hi original core and proved to be a delight for both cat and audience (epecially ince the audience wa aked to ing along, guided by Denni Helmrich upertitle). The eaon wa typical of the type of eaon that Diazmuñoz program: 1) a tandard repertoire item Mozart Le nozze di Figaro; 2) a work by an American compoer Richard Rodger South Pacific; and 3) a chamber work Britten Albert Herring. The eaon follow a imilar pattern, with Verdi Rigoletto, Mitch Leigh Man of La Mancha, and Cavalli La Calito. La Calito will be conducted by Charlotte Mattax Moerch, and follow her three earlier collaboration with the opera program: Purcell The Fairy Queen (April 2004); Monteverdi L incoronazione di Poppea (April 2005); and Lully Armide (April 2008). Although it hould trike the reader a a given, there could be no opera program at Illinoi without a gifted, enthuiatic, and inpired voice faculty; an outtanding orchetra; a upportive adminitration; and a uperb facility. Many reader will remember Jame Bailey, Dorothy Clark, Mark Elyn, Bruce Foote, William Miller, William Warfield, and Grace Wilon of the voice faculty; the uperb coache Eric Dalheim, George Reeve, Paul Ulanowky, and John Wutman; and conductor Richard Alanian, Bernard Goodman, George Hunter, Tonu Kalam, Sergei Pavlov, and Paul Vermel. The current member of the voice faculty come to rehearal, liten to audition, and impart their many year of widom to their charge. Helmrich and Julie Gunn take an active interet in training coache for the opera diviion, and Helmrich alo provide inightful, lyrical upertitle for Opera at Illinoi audience that often illuminate ubtle meaning and dramatic nuance in the original libretto. A a direct reult of a non-credit cla about the production of Coì fan tutte that Tom Schlei taught in the pring of 1990, an operatic upport group wa formed, with Philip Brown a it firt preident. Illinoi Opera Theatre Enthuiat (IOTE) proudly celebrate it 20th anniverary in 2010, under the dedicated leaderhip of Phylli Cline.

I pent two very happy year at the Univerity of Illinoi in the early 1960 and, far too many year later, finally finihed my diertation. More recently I pent ome day on thi campu working with the doctoral tudent in choral conducting and performing the Brahm Requiem certainly, for me, another memorable connection with the School of Muic. In my year in academia, I have had the opportunity to be involved in more than 40 commencement. From thi experience, I know well how often a peaker will reort to a bunch of platitude, which often go in one ear and out the other. Or the peaker may drone on about hi or her life accomplihment, omething that i often boring and, generally, of little relevance to the ituation. Among the many commencement talk I have heard, motly at Wetminter Choir College, one that particularly tayed with me wa given by the great preacher and ocial activit William Sloane Coffin. Coffin wa, for many year, the chaplain at Yale Univerity, and then for a long time the miniter of Riveride Church in New York. He wa among the great clergy of the United State and wa alo in the thick of all of the fight for ocial jutice in thi country. Interetingly, he began hi life a a child prodigy on the piano, and a a young man pent ome time tudying with that great teacher of U.S. compoer, Nadia Boulanger, in France. The title of hi addre wa Who Tell You Who You Are? I would add the word what, and thu poe the quetion Who or what tell you who you are? A a corollary, I would alo like to mention the mall novel Damien by the great German writer Hermann Hee. Damien i a tory about the complex and difficult truggle of a young man trying to become who he really i. In hi prologue, Hee write that Each man life repreent a road toward himelf, an attempt at uch a road, the intimation of a path. No one ha ever been entirely and completely himelf. Yet each one trive to become that one in an awkward way, the other in a more intelligent way, each a bet he can. Here, I believe, Hee peak to the often Memory Lane Photography Dr. Joeph Flummerfelt addree graduate at the annual Convocation ceremony in Smith Recital Hall (May 16, 2010). difficult journey toward knowing ourelve, a tate from which we then can anwer the quetion, Who tell you who you are? from within rather than from without. Some of you may already be aking why I am poing thi quetion to you. You have choen to commit yourelf to the puruit of performing, creating, or teaching thi art that we all love. In o doing, you have already turned your back on force that lure o many to define who they are the acquiition of power, poition, money, or material good being among the mot eductive. I choe thi quetion becaue anwering it ha been at the core of my own journey a an evolving human being and, therefore, a a muician. I alo choe it becaue there are force in play in today world that often make the journey to our eential elf very difficult. I recently came acro an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, which, I believe, peak directly to one of the reaon that make the journey within o much more difficult today, and why it i often o much eaier to rely upon external force to tell u who we are. The title of thi article by William Dereiewicz wa The End of Solitude ; the ubtitle, A Everyone Seek More and Broader Connectivity, the Still, Small Voice Speak Only in Silence. The following i a quote from thi article: We live excluively in relation to other, and what diappear from our life i olitude. Technology i taking away our privacy and our concentration. It i alo taking away our ability to be alone. (And, I would add parenthetically, to go within ourelve. ) Now we are ending text meage on our cell phone, poting picture on our Facebook page, and following complete tranger on Twitter. A contant tream of mediated contact, virtual or imulated, keep u wired into the electronic hive though contact, or at leat two-way contact, eem increaingly beide the point. The goal now, it eem, i imply to become known. To turn oneelf into a ort of miniature celebrity. How many friend do I have on Facebook? How many people are reading my blog? How many Google hit doe my name generate? Viibility ecure our elf-eteem, becoming a ubtitute, twice-removed, for genuine connection. Not long ago, it wa eay to feel lonely. Now, it i impoible to be alone. [O]ur ue of technology eem to involve a contant effort to tave off the poibility of olitude, a continuou attempt, a we it alone at our computer, to maintain the imaginative preence of other. 16

19 Each of you could immediately repond to thi by aying, But in my many year of tudy, I have pent countle hour alone in a practice room or working on a compoition or reearching thi or that ubject of interet. I would anwer, Of coure. Yet, there are trap that one can o eaily fall into. Our inatiable, identity-hungry ego alway tand ready to depend upon external force to tell u who we are rather than embarking upon the more difficult journey of going deeply within ourelve, and thu becoming elf-affirming. A muician, it i all too eay, often without our realizing it, for u to be motivated by the external repone of the public. By, for example, how beautiful my voice i, what a brilliant virtuoo I am and how inpiring my compoition i, or how brilliant my reearch. For thoe of u who are conductor, the inidiou ene of control and power over other can eaily educe u. Certainly, thoe of you who will become teacher may have to confront head on a generation whoe live are often ennared on the urface by the contant need for o-called connectivity. I am ure that, for the vat majority of you who are graduating today, your love of the art of muic and your puruit of both greater kill and greater undertanding of that art have begun to help you work through the inecuritie that beiege u all inecuritie that crave the need for external accolade or affirmation to tell u who we are. Pleae don t miundertand me. We all need affirmation from thoe we love and thoe we repect. The iue, I believe, i that thi i alway balanced by one elf-affirmation, which can only come through making an ever-more-intimate connection to our eential nature, and with who we are a uniquely created human being. To thi end, I believe that period of ilence and olitude are critical. Alo, for thoe of u whoe live are devoted to an ever-deeper undertanding of the compoer voice, it i difficult, if not impoible, to be in touch with our intuition without finding period of ilence and olitude, and I profoundly believe that the deepet level of muical undertanding only emerge intuitively. So much about our technological world can keep u diconnected from that ource from which real creativity flow. A muician, it i all too eay to get caught up in the important but nonethele urface conideration of the right note, the right rhythm, the right tempo, hitorical correctne, or ound for it own ake, o that we don t liten more deeply to connect with the meaning of a work. Yet, I believe that when one ha matered all of the relevant technical conideration, a muical performance emerge a a re-creation rather than merely a reproduction only if, in the moment, it flow from our intuitive elf. Only to the extent that we have gotten in touch with who we are from the inide, rather than from the outide, are we able to begin to trut ourelve enough to liten to our intuition, and thu tap into that apect of our being from which the creative impule flow. Only then, I believe, do we become ecure enough to take Chri Brown Photography UI Symphony Orchetra, Oratorio Society, and UI Chamber Singer in a performance of Brahm German Requiem conducted by Maetro Flummerfelt in Foellinger Great Hall of Krannert Center for the Perfoming Art (March 18, 2009). the rik that allow muic-making to have the quality of pontaneity that bring it alive. The idea that muic emerge from our intuitive being wa, for me, vividly corroborated by a procedure that wa decribed in a book I read ome year ago by Princeton Univerity pychologit Julian Jayne. The name of the book i The Origin of Concioune in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Put very imply, Jayne thei i that a the life of the conciou mind ha lowly evolved, we have lot touch with the ource that lie beyond the realm of the cognitive or conciou mind. In the book, Jayne decribe a procedure in which the intuitive ide of the brain wa afely edated, and the ubject could peak, but could not ing. Converely, when the cognitive ide wa edated, the ubject could ing but could not peak. Somehow, in thi world of ever-preent aural and viual clutter, of too much activity, of a public all too ready to repond to the urface of a thing, we need to contantly eek period of ilence and olitude to liten to that till, mall voice within each of u. Thu, to the extent that we increaingly become more ourelve, the muic we make, that we create, ha the poibility to affect the live of thoe who encounter our art in a more profound way. Thoe of you who are or will become teacher have the poibility to help break through the mad continuum of the contant urface connection of your tudent and help them to get in touch with their own humanity by leading them to experience that creative force from which muic flow. While the world i all too ready to repond to omething that only dazzle, that only entertain, that only bring a quick and hallow emotional repone, I profoundly believe that every human being, at ome level, long for a greater connection to that which i authentic, to that which pring from the innermot recee of the human mind, heart, and pirit. To be able, even in ome mall way, to miniter to that need, i, for each of u, a acred calling. So my hope for you i that in the midt of the overcharged world in which we live, you will find time to be alone, to be till, to become more at one with yourelf, and to liten to that till, mall voice within, which, I believe, ultimately tell u who we are. A we make that connection, the eductive power of our ego wane. We become more ecure within ourelve, thu more alive and, a muician, more powerful communicator of our art. Joeph R.

23 by Terrence London I firt met Ronald Romm in 2006 while I wa working for a major claical recording label. The Canadian Bra had jut releaed a new album, and I wa aked to be the point peron at the corporate office of one of the label more important account. The Bra miion that day: to perform for the entire taff of thi company in an informal lunch/concert gathering. It wa a great PR and chmoozing opportunity for the Bra, a well a the record company. I wa early and waited outide the building for the band to how up on what had turned out to be a chilly morning. I tried to keep warm by hopping from one leg to the other a I watched my breath leave my body in mall puff of moke. Finally a black edan howed up, the back door opened, and out popped Ronald Romm, with a twinkle in hi eye and a happy greeting for me. I extended my hand; Ron grabbed it and pulled me into a bear hug a if we were old pal who hadn t een each other in year. I immediately liked him. RO N A L D RO M M ON TRUMPET w in t e r

24 Ronald Romm, pictured with fellow trumpet player Michael Ewald ( ), ha made nearly 100 recording and wa recently named one of the top 12 bra player of the 20th century by Bra Bulletin Magazine. o n or i t i e The performance went extremely well. Though I had heard the Canadian Bra play many time live and alo on record, I wa particularly touched by Romm playing that day: it wa almot like peech. Could he actually be playing o well that I undertood hi meaning beyond merely the tune and rhythm? I think o. Since then I have become more than a fan of thi virtuoo trumpet player, I have alo gotten to know him peronally. Romm come from a muical family. Hi mother wa a claically trained clarinetit, who alo took up the axophone in the family dance band, The Romm-Antic, in order to pend more time with her huband, a drummer. Both were enthuiatic lover of muic, and they intilled thi love and paion in their on. Romm ay litening to muic on the radio and to phonograph record became a big part of their daily live. When he wa around nine year old, Romm wa introduced, almot accidentally, to the trumpet. He had come home from chool for lunch a uual, but on thi day he heard fantatic ound coming out of the radio. Who i that? he wondered aloud. Hi mom aid, Why, that Loui Armtrong, playing trumpet. He ay hi reply wa quick: That what I want to do! Eager to tart, he wa given hi firt trumpet and took hi firt leon with Growing up in Lo Angele, Romm had acce to a cro-ection of muic tyle. Along with jazz, big band, opera, and orchetral muic, there were klezmer, folk, and chamber muic. One of hi earliet teacher wa Leter Remen, who played trumpet with the U.S. Marine Band and eventually became principal trumpet of the Lo Angele Philharmonic. It wa lucky he met Remen, a Remen wa a pioneer in the development of bra chamber muic. Very little wa available at that time. After Remen became well etablihed at the Univerity of Southern California, he and hi colleague not only arranged muic for bra but alo recovered neglected core from decade earlier. He formed a quintet called the Lo Angele Bra Enemble. When he felt Romm wa ready, Remen invited hi young protégé to it in and, eventually, join the group. Thi enemble, a well a a bra quintet made up of member of the Lo Angele Philharmonic, became Romm training ground. When he went to New York to tudy at Juilliard in 1967, the bra quintet wa till a largely unheard-of muical combination. Enthuiatic about forming hi own group, Romm found other intereted player and tarted the New York Bra Society, a quintet that reheared four time a week uually late into the night, given the member buy day chedule. When the opportunity came to join hi mother from whom, An Illinoi Summer Youth Muic tudent receive intruction from Romm in hi tudio at U of I. the Canadian Bra, he had the he like to ay, he learned to play with a oft clarinet ound. Beide Armtrong, he alo got an earful of Harry Jame, another reigning trumpet king of the day. Along with popular muic, he ought out and heard great playing from the bet principal trumpeter of America major orchetra at the time, including Adolph Bud Hereth in Chicago, Samuel Krau in Philadelphia, and William Vacchiano in New York. Vacchiano eventually became Romm teacher when he attended The Juilliard School year later. Opera wa alo a big influence the inging tyle of Maria Calla and her great tage partner Giueppe Di Stefano, a well a the lyrical technique of Enrico Caruo and Luciano Pavarotti, became part of hi muic education. training and expertie not only to fit right in but alo to help take the group into a new era of bra playing. The Canadian Bra prang from modet, experimental root in Toronto, from an idea developed by founder Eugene Watt and Chuck Daellenbach in Along with engaging tage preence, their eriou and meticulou attention to detail helped define them a one of the great chamber enemble of their time. The member imagination and conummate muicianhip eventually elevated the art of the bra quintet to what it i today. The Canadian Bra became one of the firt quintet to bring exceptional and virtuoic bra chamber muic etting to worldwide audience, a major change for an entire family of intrument. Romm ha played profeionally for more than 50 year, performing around the world in Japan, China, Autralia, and mot of Europe, includ- 22

25 Meditation for Trumpet, a CD featuring Ronald and Avi Romm and releaed by Opening Day Record, made it debut at No. 11 on Billboard Magazine Claical Traditional Chart on Augut 28, ing Ruia. He ha made nearly 100 recording, which have old more than 1.5 million copie, and wa recently named one of the top 12 bra player of the 20th century by Bra Bulletin Magazine. Romm latet project, Meditation for Trumpet (Opening Day Record), feature ome of the bet-known claical work performed by Romm, accompanied at the piano by hi wife, Avi. Avi, whom Ron met while at Juilliard, i a dynamic and perceptive muician who not only perform but alo direct a piano tudio in Saraota, Florida. The muic [on the CD] i ome of the mot beautiful and famou muic in Wetern ociety, Ron ay. A a trumpeter, I wouldn t get a chance to play ome of thi extraordinary muic. The piece elected were either keyboard or vocal creation to tart. The arrangement, gorgeou and effective, were created by Ron and Avi, a well a their friend Lee Norri. The Ronald and Avi Romm Trumpet and Piano Duo keep a buy touring chedule, including a Symphony Pop how featuring a Chritma Spectacular that i by all account pectacular. In addition, their on Aaron, himelf a trumpet player, ha begun to neak into the group, expanding it from a duet to a trio. In the work i a recording project featuring the three of them. Playing trumpet in a chamber muic enemble can be taxing for anyone, o Romm offer ome advice and idea about trumpet performance. He ugget, for intance, that repetition of the repertoire will make performance eaier o practice performing. Put yourelf in performance mode anytime you pick up your intrument. He continue, Without getting too deeply into pedagogy of bra playing, we can only do one thing at a time, o that thing hould be to maximize the eae of playing. He explain that the mind that i controlling the body will do what it ha to do to protect the body from damage, o if we lean backward, for example, while taking a breath or while playing, the mind ene that we are going to uccumb to gravity and fall. The mind doe what he call an automatic protection etup to keep u from falling. It put the body in a poition where the mucle are doing iometric exercie rather than balanced breathing. The thing that i being accomplihed i protection from the fall, Romm ay. If we tay balanced while breathing during both inhalation and exhalation we can then focu on the muic. Sound complicated, but taying relaxed but focued while playing will help u to accomplih the muical goal without exce fatigue. Ronald and Avi Romm have performed together ince they were tudent at The Juilliard School. Other tip concern warming up ( for me, my warm-up i eential I ue it a a diagnotic tool to highlight where I need to focu extra energy for that day performance ) and witching intrument in mid-concert ( witching from B-flat trumpet to, ay, piccolo trumpet i jut a tool to make the muical endeavor more intereting; we witch to change the ound.

Muic a Social Life put together hi varied experience conciely, in a format that i readily acceible to tudent and layperon, bringing them all to bear on an iue raied at the beginning: Why Muic Matter. From here he proceed to explore way in which muic i ocially meaningful and powerful in a variety of ituation. The emphai throughout i on the ue of muic a people interact, individually and a group and nation. Some ection and idea that truck me a particularly intereting: The firt chapter, providing conceptual tool for comprehending the ret, preent the ytem of emiotic developed by C.S.

Contemplating the world of muic, Turino lay aide older categorie uch a art, folk, and popular muic, and preent a ytem applying to muical experience in all twentieth-century culture preentational, participatory, and two kind of recording (hi-fi and tudio audio art ), the latter indicating hi undertanding of the enormou role that recorded muic play in our live.

A New Beethoven Sonata Cycle Why another cycle of Beethoven great thirty-two Piano Sonata?, ak Timothy Ehlen in hi introduction to thi new CD et (for which he alo provide informative and perceptive liner note). Hi own anwer to the quetion, echoing that of other from down the year, i that there i no ingle, definitive interpretation of thee work, o all performer bring omething of their own to them. In theory, then,

33 there i room for any number of performance. Ehlen goe on to illutrate hi point brilliantly by hi own playing on thee CD. There are many high point, but for thi reviewer it i Ehlen ene of the dramatic that come through firt and foremot, allied with an admirable talent for utained concentration when performing ome of Beethoven more extended muing (the Hammerklavier being a cae in point here). Each of the two CD preent onata from Beethoven three compoitional period. Volume one ha Op. 2, No. 1 in F Minor; the famou Moonlight Sonata Op. 27, No. 2; and the maive Hammerklavier in B-flat, Op Volume two feature Op. 2, No. 2 in A Major; the ocalled Tempet Sonata Op. 31, No. 2; the hort and intriguing Op. 78 in F-harp Major; and the E Major Sonata Op Preenting the piano onata in thi way, rather than imply chronologically by date of compoition, i rewarding for the litener, and provide inight that a trict chronological preentation could not. The F Minor Sonata Op. 2, No. 1, pan a great emotional range, and while the two central movement an adagio and a minuet and trio may look emotionally more imple, they repay deep thought, ince, rather like an iceberg, their main ubtance lie below the immediate urface. A for the Moonlight onata, anyone who ha played or litened to it will know that it firt movement require the player to etablih a dreamy, timele world, and then to return to reality in it finale. The difficulty here i not to return to earth with a bump, but omehow to tie the two movement together in a unified whole, a Beethoven preumably intended. Ehlen anwer thee and the demand of all ix onata with both aplomb and panache, balancing thoughtful interpretation, technical aurance, and, when required, a ene of excitement and drama. He i thoughtful in hi interpretative choice, and thu manage to perform each work very convincingly. There i no timetable for completion of the et: at the current rate, it will require around eight year. I look forward to announcing further iue in thi column. In the meantime, thee firt two volume will whet the appetite of Beethoven enthuiat for more.

45 In Memoriam HOMMAGE TO TWO GREAT MUSICIANS Dr. Harry Begian ( ) We wih we could turn back the clock, take our place in the baoon and percuion ection, and watch a the tage door open. Dr. Harry Begian would tride brikly acro the tage, leaning lightly forward a he walked. He would acknowledge the audience with a ubtle nod, followed by an appreciative bow from the podium. Then a quick turn to the band, a urveying glance, a couple of oft-poken word hi invitation to join him a raie of the baton, and away we would go. Muical moment like that are imbedded deep within our heart and yet are a vividly alive in our memorie a if the performance had jut finihed: Dance of Galánta, Fieta del Pacifico, Don Juan, Lincolnhire Poy, Pine of Rome, Enigma Variation, Illini Fantay. Forty-two year ago, Dr. Hindley and Profeor Dan Perrino introduced Dr. Begian, then director of band at Michigan State Univerity, to a group of unupecting Illinoi Summer Youth Muic tudent. Two ummer later, Dr. Begian returned to campu to conduct many of thee ame ISYM muician a the newly appointed director of band for the Univerity of Illinoi. Thoe and many other ummer camp and fetival band Begian experience changed live. A a reult of the work of thi dynamic teacher a maetro in the fullet ene of the word an abundance of young muician, muic major and non-major alike, were inpired to attend thi Univerity o they could play in the Illinoi band. Dr. Begian had a magical gift that all conductor wih to poe: he could tranform the ound of any band within minute. That talent wa baed on hi thorough knowledge of a core; hi unique undertanding of and appreciation for the tonal poibilitie of a concert band; and hi almot uncanny ability to diagnoe even the lightet of muical problem and precribe the proper cure. The Begian ound and Begian balance attracted litener, player, and conductor from around the country to Illinoi. He wa an intene, energetic man who wa totally engaged with every muician (either by your choice or hi will) in every meaure and every note, not jut at a technical level but at an artitic one a well. A a member of the band, all you had to do wa to open your ear and to watch, and Dr. Begian would bring the eence of the muic to your heart and mind, and make it part of you for a lifetime. In the education world, he would probably be called old chool. Former Illinoi muician decribe him a being penetrating, intene, paionate, demanding, humorou, caring, expreive, riveting, reauring, incere, highly motivating, deeply appreciative, and loving. If there i one common memory that bond together all muician who performed under hi baton be it multiple time with the Illinoi Band or jut once the look in hi eye i that unforgettable memory. Everything you needed to know about the muic and your performance wa in hi eye. That he never aked more of hi muician than he wa willing to give of himelf will remain a tandard of muical and teaching excellence to be forever revered a part of the Illinoi Band heritage. Our gratitude and loyalty will forever be to you, Dr. Begian.
