I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, And born of the Father before all ages. God of God; Light of Light, true God of true God; Begotten not made; consubstantial with the Father, By whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And was incarnate by the Holy Spirit, Out of the Virgin Mary; and was made man. He was crucified also for us; He suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried. And the third day He rose again according to the scriptures; And ascended into heaven; And He shall come again with glory To judge both the living and the dead, Of whose Kingdom there shall be no end. And (I believe) in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life; Who proceeds from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified. Who spake by the Prophet. And in one holy catholic and apostolic church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

IV. Sanctus

Holy, holy, holy. Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord.

6 15Program Notes

As did more than thirty Renaissance composers, Charles Argersinger used the famous secular,

anonymous theme, l’homme armé, as a scaffolding to underlay the structure of the Ordinary of the Mass. L’homme armé (Armed Man) is the theme that unifies the five-movement overall design. The distinctive 14th-century device known as a Landini cadence also recurs throughout the mass as a basic building block bringing with it its intrinsic Lydian modal character. Modest dissonances and their resolutions are used as focal points of expression in reinforcing the meaning of the text.

The premiere of Missa l’homme armé by a university choir was obstructed by the American Civil Liberties Union for an alleged violation of the constitutional separation of church and state. The firestorm of publicity in television reports and over twenty newspaper articles eventually drew the attention of the national press when Nat Hentoff wrote in the 22 August 1992 Washington Post that the ACLU had in this case “built a wall of separation higher than even Thomas Jefferson could have imagined.”

Charles Argersinger

The musical career of Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986) began in the cathedral school at Rouen

and continued after 1919 in Paris, where he studied organ with Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne, then at the Paris Conservatoire with Eugéne Gigout. He completed

his conservatory studies and earned top honors in organ playing, improvisation, harmony, fugue, piano accompaniment and composition. His principal teacher of composition was Paul Dukas (L’Apprenti Sorcier [The Sorcerer’s Apprentice]). In 1930 Duruflé assumed responsibility for his own Parisian organ

in Saint-Etienne-du-Mont and in 1944 he also became professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire, a post he occupied until his retirement in 1969.

He composed throughout his career, but from the early 1920s until the late 1960s he produced no more than a dozen works – all of them so extremely well crafted that, in spite of the small size of his oeuvre, he must be regarded as an important composer. One of Duruflé’s typical traits was to combine Gregorian melody with brilliant modal harmonies or to surround it with polyphony, with stylistic links with Fauré, Debussy, Ravel and Dukas, resulting in a warm and individual synthesis. His works are characterized by formal balance, rich harmonies and virtuoso, refined instrumentation. In 1947 the original version of Duruflé’s Requiem, Opus 9, for full orchestra and organ was performed. Two other versions followed, one only with organ, then in 1961, for a reduced orchestra and organ. The mass comprises nine movements and, in the manner of Fauré, places greater emphasis on the hope of reconciliation than on the normal doomsday trombones of the Requiem Mass. The Dies irae movement – traditionally a central part of a Requiem – is omitted. While the Duruflé Requiem does not lack contrasts and dramatic passages, it avoids the theatrical effects found, for example in the Berlioz Requiem.

About his Requiem, Duruflé said:

“This Requiem is entirely composed on Gregorian themes from the Requiem Mass. Sometimes the text has been respected as a whole, with no intervention from the orchestra, which plays a supporting role or comments on the proceedings, or sometimes I am inspired or even completely carried away, as for example in certain developments suggested by the Latin text, notably in the Domine Jesu Christe, the Sanctus or the Libera me.

Generally, I have above all sought to enter into the particular style of Gregorian melodies and have been compelled to reconcile as far as possible the Gregorian rhythm, as established by the Benedictines of Solesmes, with the requirements of modern barring. As far as the musical form of each of the movements of the Requiem is concerned, it is inspired by the form suggested in the liturgy…. It represents the idea of peace, of faith and of hope.”

He has been a guest clinician and conductor at MENC regional and state Conferences in Massachusetts, Vermont, and Oregon, and choral director for North American Music Ensembles’ 1991 European tour.

As a bass, Dr. Weiss was a Metropolitan Opera Regional Finalist and won First Prize in the Associazione Lirica Italo-Americana Mario Del Monaco Voice Competition. He has performed leading and supporting roles with Boston Lyric Opera, Indianapolis Opera, Ash Lawn-Highland Summer Festival, Raylynmor Opera, Commonwealth Opera, Longwood Opera, Vermont Opera, Oakland Opera, and Sacramento Opera, and also soloed for such organizations as the Harvard-Radcliffe Chorus, College of the Holy Cross Choirs, and the Oakland Chamber Orchestra and Oratorio Society. Some of his favorite roles include Leporello in Don Giovanni, Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, Mustafa in L’italiana in Algeri, Alfie Doolittle in My Fair Lady, Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte, Colline in La Bohéme, Bartolo in Il Barbiere di Siviglia and Sir Joseph Porter in H.M.S. Pinafore. In May 2005, he sang the role of Sparafucile in Rigoletto with Granite State Opera in New Hampshire.

The University of Arizona nominated Dr. Weiss’ doctoral research, Operatically Trained Singers in the Collegiate Choral Rehearsal, for the Julius Herford Award sponsored by the

American Choral Directors Association. An article based on this research appeared in The Choral Journal, August 2002 and he presented his findings at the Second International Physiology and Acoustics of Singing Conference in Denver in October 2004. This spring, he will again present the same research at the Washington Music Educators Assoc. State Conference in Yakima, and at the American Choral Directors Association NW Division Convention in Portland.

Bill Dugger, tenor, is a founding member of the Chorale, having sung

with its original precursor group, the Troy Community Choir, since the early 1970s. Born in Cottonwood, Bill grew up in Forest, Winchester, and Potlatch, Idaho. He reports that he cannot remember a time when he did not sing; in fact, Bill and his identical twin, Bob, were called on to sing “everywhere and everything” as youngsters. After attending the University of Idaho and the University of Oregon, where he majored in music education, Bill began a professional singing career that took him to Indianapolis, New York, and Chicago, among other places, singing with a contemporary Christian group and doing background and studio vocals. Bill also taught band, choir, and orchestra for thirty-five years in northern Idaho, retiring recently from the Lewiston School District. He now is the Director of Music for Lewiston First United Methodist Church; he also runs a music studio in his home and is partner is an internet wholesale music business, Meadowlark Melodies. Singing, Bill says, takes him out of himself, allowing him to “go other places and become something else.” As a core member of our tenor section, Bill has been an integral part of the many musical landscapes that the Chorale and Chamber Choir have traversed through the years, and we are very happy to have his company.
