Program Notes

Franz Schubert was a Viennese composer whose works span the late-Classical and early-Romantic periods. He composed the Mass No. 2 (commonly known as the Mass in G Major) (25 minutes) in 1815 when Schubert was just 18 years old. Schubert’s gift for crafting lyrical melodies is evident throughout the piece, as is his ability to create musical drama using compelling harmonic progressions. The mass is scored for choir, soprano , tenor, and bass soli, strings, and organ, although this evening’s performance will feature a piano reduction created by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker. The typical Mass Ordinary movements are employed, although Schubert periodically omits portions of the texts, pointing to his desire to capture the mood of a movement over a musical presentation of religious dogma.

Navidad Nuestra (15 minutes) by the Argentine composer Ariel Ramirez is a folk cantata telling the Christmas story using music from different regions of South America: A chamame for the Annunciation, a huella pampeana for the pilgrimage of Mary and Joseph, a vidala catamarquena for the Nativity, a chaya riojana for the shepherds’ adoration, a takirari for the Three Kings, and a vidala tucumana for the flight of the Holy Family. The work is published in various folk settings. This evening’s performance will use choir, guitar, harpsichord, cembalo, string bass, percussion, and two soloists.

John Sheppard was an English singer and composer during the Tudor era and became Informator Christorum of Magdalen College in Oxford where it was ordained that the antiphon Liber Nos, Salva Nos (5 minutes) was to be recited each night. Sheppard’s musical setting was written to accomplish this with probable performance at the end of the daily office of compline. Many of Sheppard’s Latin settings involve polyphonic writing for many voices, such as this motet for seven parts.

Robert Schuman was a German Romantic composer remembered for experimenting with new forms of music drama, and his tumultuous personal life. He composed the Spanisches Liederspiel, Op. 74 in 1849, (6 minutes) setting texts by Emanuel von Geibel (1815-1884) which were translations of the works of various Spanish poets. The work is a collection of ten songs for between one and four voices and piano. The poems are organized to create a loose plot on the topic of love with different voices assume various ‘characters’. Tonight’s performance presents the two four-part choruses from this set, full of Schumann’s trademark lyricism, poetic mood, and intricate piano writing.

Francis Poulenc was a French composer famous for his lyricism and creative chromaticism, both of which are evident in Exultate Deo (3 minutes). While the piece begins in a simple A major tonality, Poulenc quickly adds interest with changing meters and touches of chromaticism. As the piece continues, polytonality and more intense chromatics are used to color the poet’s intensifying desire to sing a song to the Lord.

Halleluja, vår strid er endt (6 minutes) is a Norwegian folk melody arranged by Ørjan Matre in an atmospheric setting full of cluster chords and words set in overlapping imitative rhythms that start unison and cascade up and down the scale, often employing a raised fourth scale degree. The text is by a Danish priest and hymn writer named Hans Adolf Brorson, and was published in 1739 in Troens Rare Klenodie (The Rare Jewel of Faith). Matre transcribed the tune from the folk singer Ola O. Fagerheim, who only sang the last verse, typically during funerals as the coffin was lowered into the ground. The text and tune are hopeful and comforting.

Ezekiel Saw the Wheel (3 minutes) is an American folksong recounting the vision of the prophet Ezekiel from the Hebrew Scriptures. The vision is translated as: “As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces. This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.” (Ezekiel 1:15-21) The meaning of the text has long confounded scholars, and various interpretations abound. The spiritual is perhaps most easily viewed through the lens of teaching and revelation. Ezekiel was sent to inform the people who to lead a more godly life, and God revealed heavenly things to him. The text of the spiritual sets about discerning the difference between godly and ungodly behavior in the verses that are framed by the chorus about the wheels. Mark Hayes uses creative accompanimental rhythms and jazz harmonies in this a cappella setting.

Mack Wilberg is an American composer, arranger, and conductor who is presently the music director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Much of his musical work surrounds setting American sacred music for the 360-voice ensemble and its orchestra. As a result, the vocal textures of his settings often range from boisterous unison to eight-part writing, often modulating with successive verses of traditional folk melodies. Wilberg’s Four American Folk Hymns (20 minutes) are typical in this sense. Originally scored for chorus and orchestra, tonight’s performance will utilize chorus and four-hand piano.
