I. There is a desert on the moon where the dreamer sinks so deeply into the ground that she reaches hell.

II. A drunken woman falls into the water and comes out renewed and sober.

III. A horde of small animals frightens the dreamer. The animals increase to a tremendous size, and one of them devours the little girl.

IV. A drop of water is seen as it appears when looked at through a microscope. The girl sees that the drop is full of tree branches. This portrays the origin of the world.

V. An ascent into heaven, where pagan dances are being celebrated; and a descent into hell, where angels are doing good deeds.

Giovanni Gabrieli (c.1554/57-1612) “Canzon Primi Toni” from Sacrae symphoniae (1597) Duration: 4 minutesBorn in Venice during a time of artistic innovation, Giovanni Gabrieli advanced the musical discoveries of his day. He was raised by his uncle who was employed as both composer and organist at St. Mark’s Cathedral. This made a tremendous impact on Gabrieli at a very young age. Studying in Munich as an apprentice to Orlando de Lassus (a Renaissance composer of motets and masses) was also influential. Many musical elements he employed, such as counterpoint and harmony, were learned from de Lassus.

In 1584 Gabrieli returned to Venice and became the official composer at St. Mark’s Cathedral. The Cathedral was the center of both sacred and secular life between the years 1580 and 1630. During this time the popular polychoral style (two or more choirs) of composition reached its peak with Gabrieli. His innovations include polychoral writing for instruments, writing for more than eight players, using duple and triple meter in the same composition, and specifying individual instruments for dramatic color effect. His music captured both religious dignity and secular humanness in a highly artistic manner.

Kathryn Salfelder (b. 1987) Cathedrals (2008) Duration: 7 minutesCathedrals is a neo-renaissance fantasy on Gabrieli’s Canzon Primi Toni. Renaissance practices such as counterpoint, imitation, canonic texture, and antiphonal performance are retained, while modern practices such as a dissonant harmonic language, unpredictable metric shifts, and unusual instrumental color choices are added. In homage to the original instrumentation and two-choir approach, the ensemble is seated in an antiphonal fashion with opposing brass choirs. The instrumentation of these choirs has been extended to include horn and tuba. A third choir comprised of woodwinds and percussion is added, which often serves as a connecting fabric between the brass choirs.

The form of Cathedrals is structured on the golden ratio (1: .618), although Salfelder realized this after the fact. Renaissance artists used the golden mean extensively in their paintings and sculptures to achieve balance and beauty. It was also common in the motets and masses of the era – the ratio was viewed as divine. In the case of Cathedrals, the golden section is marked by a percussion soli that begins the development in the overall structure of the work and ends at the recapitulation. Some of Salfelder’s most lyrical and contemporary writing for the ensemble occurs during this section, while the final section contains the most direct quote of Gabrieli’s material.

David Maslanka (b. 1943) A Child’s Garden of Dreams (1981) Duration: 33 minutesDavid Maslanka is a person of deep spiritual conviction who draws much creative inspiration from nature and the environment. Many of his compositions are inspired by external sources, yet are the product of deep internal meditations on the material. A Child’s Garden of Dreams is one such example. The piece was drawn from a collection of twelve extraordinary dreams documented by a child. Maslanka learned of these writings through Carl Jung’s book, Man and His Symbols. The passage below is taken from the book:

A very important case came to me from a man who was himself a psychiatrist. One day he brought me a handwritten booklet he had received as a Christmas present from his 10-year-old daughter. It contained a whole series of dreams she had had when she was 8. They made up the weirdest series of dreams I have ever seen, and I could well understand why her father was more than just puzzled by them. Though childlike, they were uncanny, and they contained images whose origin was wholly incomprehensible to the father...

The father tried to explain the dreams in terms of their context. But he could not do so because there appeared to be no personal associations to them...The little girl died of an infectious disease about a year after that Christmas... The dreams were a preparation for death, expressed through short stories, like the tales told at primitive initiations... (She) was approaching puberty, and at the same time, the end of her life. Little or nothing in the symbolism of her dreams points to the beginning of a normal adult life. When I first read her dreams, I had the uncanny feeling that they suggested impending disaster.

These dreams open up a new and rather terrifying aspect of life and death. One would expect to find such images in an aging person who looks back on life, rather than to be given them by a child. Their atmosphere recalls the old Roman saying, ‘Life is a short dream,’ rather than the joy and exuberance of its springtime. Experience shows that the unknown approach of death casts an ‘adumbratio’ (an anticipatory shadow) over the life and dreams of the victim.

Inspired by these dreams, Maslanka sat at the piano with all twelve in front of him. Through meditation, he put himself inside each dream and searched for musical fragments as the dreams would each “light up.” Those that resonated the strongest with him became the five chosen movements. They are not necessarily literal descriptions of the dream but are representations of his internal experience. “I tried to create a parallel musical universe by sinking as deeply as possible into my unconscious to unite the dreams and the musical imagery.”

The five movements are unified by two main motivic ideas. The first is the “Here I Am” motive (a descending major second) introduced by the brass early in movement one. It represents a call to the dreamer from the other side that draws her to move forward without fear. In later movements it expands to a more

extensive theme. The second is the “Epiphany” motive (four scalar descending notes followed by the leap upwards of a perfect fifth) also introduced in movement one but in a less obvious manner. To Maslanka, this motive represents the dreamer’s realization of fully transformed consciousness. It becomes much more prominent in later movements and is the main arrival in movement four – the ultimate metaphorical representation of transformation.

Maslanka also quotes music and poetry in unfamiliar ways. Black is the Color makes up movement two and returns in movement five. The third movement ironically quotes As Time Goes By (“A kiss is just a kiss”) when the beasts devour the child. The title itself is a play on Robert Louis Stevenson’s collection of poetry entitled A Child’s Garden of Verses. Maslanka liked that his chosen title gave no hint as to the actual nature of the dreams, but instead added a whimsical sense to the deep questions that are posed by the dreamer. What seems innocent becomes far more dramatic as the piece unfolds.

Wallingford Riegger (1885-1961) Dance Rhythms (1954) Duration: 7 minutesWallingford Riegger came from a musical family and was a gifted cellist. Although he was American born, he studied in Germany from 1907-1910. He returned during the years 1913-1917 and became a successful conductor with the opera houses of Würzberg and Königsberg and with Berlin’s Blüthner Orchestra. His work in Germany made him very familiar with the 12-tone technique, which he learned to adapt in a personal way often using it within neo-classic structures. Although much of his music was atonal, he would revert to tonality when it suited his musical intentions. Dance Rhythms is a clear example. Riegger became greatly associated with dance companies, like Martha Graham, and wrote many pieces for this purpose. Dance Rhythms was composed as a study in rhythm and texture. The light but driving rhythm of Riegger’s music creates constant momentum to advance the dance.
