Sinquefi eld Prize in Composition and the Mizzou New Music Initiative

Th e University of Missouri School of Music annually awards the Sinquefi eld Prize, part of the Mizzou New Music Initiative, to its top student composer. Th e competition is open to all student composers, undergraduate or graduate, at the University of Missouri. Th e competition process includes submission of a completed musical work, which is then judged by a panel of professional composers from outside the University. Th e winner is then expected to compose a new work for one of the School of Music’s large ensembles, which is given its world premiere at the annual Chancellor’s Arts Showcase. Th e Prize includes a scholarship to the University of Missouri, a cash prize for the production of score and parts, and the opportunity to record the winning composition aft er the concert. Past winners of the Sinquefi eld Prize include Patrick Dell (2006), Katie Andres (2007), Mark Woodward (2008), Stephanie Berg (2009), Michael Strausbaugh (2010), Patrick David Clark (2011), Michael Anderson (2012), David Witter (2013), José Martínez (2014), and Trey Makler (2015).

Th e Mizzou New Music Initiative brings together a diverse array of programs intended to position the University of Missouri School of Music as a leading center in the areas of composition and new music. Th e Initiative is the direct result of the gener-ous support of Dr. Jeanne and Mr. Rex Sinquefi eld, and the Sinquefi eld Charitable Foundation. Th e Sinquefi elds’ vision is to create an incubator for the composition and performance of new music, and to position Missouri as a major center for the music of tomorrow. Th e Initiative includes full-tuition scholarships for undergraduate composers; graduate assistantships for a six-member New Music Ensemble; the Mizzou International Composers Festival, launched in July 2010 in partnership with the twenty-member New York-based new music ensemble, Alarm Will Sound; and the Creating Original Music Project (COMP), established in 2006. COMP includes a competition for K-12 composers throughout Missouri and a unique summer camp for high school composers. Th e 2008 camp was chronicled in the award-winning documentary fi lm, Genius Among Us.

University Concert Series presents

Chancellor’s Arts Showcase: Celebrating Shakespeare in the ArtsApril 11, 2016 • 7:30 PM • Missouri Th eatre

School of Music

Tonight’s event is the second time we’ve collaborated as fi ne arts departments to present the Chancellor’s Arts Showcase. Last year’s theme of Th omas Jeff erson for the initial collaboration was an obvious choice with the event falling on his birthday. Th is year’s theme again was not diffi cult to select as many people this month are acknowledging the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare. While

the performance of his works primarily fall to the theatrical arts, much music has been infl uenced by his writings as well. We off er examples tonight of such music, both fi ne art and jazz, that have been inspired by Shakespeare’s words.

Th e School of Music is always eager to share new music with our audiences and is excited to be off ering something new again this evening. Henry Stewart, a graduate student in composition, is this year’s Sinquefi eld Prize winner and has written a piece for the University Singers using a sonnet by Shakespeare. Instead of describing the piece myself, I invite you to read the program notes by the composer as he talks you through his thought process and infl uences. Th e Sinquefi eld Prize is one of the programs we facilitate through the Mizzou New Music Initiative as a result of the generous contributions from our long-time donors, Rex and Jeanne Sinquefi eld. We hope you enjoy tonight’s world premiere.

Julia Gaines, Director

Department of Th eatre

Th e Department of Th eatre has the unique distinction of being named one of the most prolifi c programs in the country for theatre research as well as one of only a few departments that off er the BA, MA, and PhD. We continue to foster creativity, enlightenment, and academic investigation as we explore the endless

possibilities of theatre and performance. Since Professor Donovan Rhynsburger joined the MU faculty in 1925, this department has been committed to artistic innovation by presenting six to eight productions each year.

We are excited to join the celebration of 400 years of performing William Shakespeare’s plays on stages across the globe. Tonight’s monologues and scenes produced by Dr. Cat Gleason are what some might call Shakespeare’s “greatest hits” from an incredibly extensive number of plays written by the Bard. Although some scholars debate about whether each play attributed to Shakespeare was actually penned by him, there is no doubt that the plays have lived on in dramatic history. Every day we see the truth in Shakespeare’s famous line that “all the world’s a stage,” and we are proud to join the School of Music and the Art Department to bring MU audiences an evening featuring this important classical work. Th e Department of Th eatre continues to engage in Shakespeare’s legacy as we open a full production of Much Ado About Nothing directed by Dr. Cheryl Black on our Rhynsburger stage April 27-May 1. We hope that you will join us!

Heather Carver, Chair

Department of Art

Founded in 1877, the Department of Art is home to the George Caleb Bingham Gallery which features works by faculty and students several times each year. Instruction is included in drawing, painting, printmaking photography, graphic design, ceramics, fi bers, sculpture, and new media.

Th e Department of Art is pleased to collaborate with our sister programs at MU to present this evening of art, music, and theatre. We look forward with anticipation each year to this memorable event and the unique contribution each of the arts make to the annual theme. Th e visual arts interpret history in a variety of ways. Th is year, inspired by the Shakespearian theme selected for the Chancellor’s Arts Showcase, Drawing II students, created an installation entitled Vessels, which consist of several large-scale drawings, suspended and projected into the ornate architecture of the Missouri Th eater. Inspired by Shakespearean and Elizabethan costume, the drawing students researched archival material to understand how thespians developed and wore their costumes. Th e costumes of Shakespeare’s plays act as a kind of architecture to the body of the actors, but also an architecture or vessel that holds the lineage of his plays that have been performed again and again the world over, reimagined and reinterpreted over time. Th e student’s charcoal drawings and ghostly projections recount a history and presence of this tradition, and of the performance of costume in our imaginations. We hope you enjoy the inventive interpretation the art students have developed.

Department of Art - Participating student artists and project description:

When icicles hang by the wallAnd Dick the shepherd blows his nail,

And Tom bears logs into the hall,And milk comes frozen home in pail;When blood is nipt, and ways be foul,

Then nightly sings the staring owlTu-whoo!

Tu-whit! tu-whoo! A merry note!While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When all around the wind doth blow,And coughing drowns the parson’s saw,

And birds sit brooding in the snow,And Marian’s nose looks red and raw;When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl -

Then nightly sings the staring owlTu-whoo!

Tu-whit! tu-whoo! A merry note!While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

– William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

Soloist: Ian Meyer

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;Sometime too hot the sun of heaven shines,And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Sonnet 18 – William Shakespeare

So, now is come our joyful’st feast,Let every man be jolly.

Each room with ivy leaves is drest,And every post with holly.

Though some churls at our mirth repine,Round your foreheads garlands twine,

Drown sorrow in a cup of wine,And let us all be merry.

Now all our neighbours’ chimneys smoke,And Christmas blocks are burning;

Their ovens they with bak’d meats choke,And all their spits are turning.

Without the door let sorrow lie,And if for cold it hap to die,

We’ll bury’t in a Christmas pie,And evermore be merry.

– George Wither (1588-1667)

Some say that ever ‘gainst that Season comesWherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,

This Bird of Dawning singeth all night long:And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad;

The nights are wholesome, then no Planets strike,No Fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,

So hallow’d and so gracious is the time. – William Shakespeare

I. Full Fathom FiveFull fathom five thy father lies.Of his bones are coral made.

Those are pearls that were his eyes.Nothing of him that doth fade,

But doth suffer a sea-changeInto something rich and strange.Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell

Ding-dong, bell.

The Tempest Act I Scene 2 (1610-1611) – William Shakespeare

II. The Cloud-Capp’d Towers

The cloud-capp’d tow’rs, the gorgeous palaces,The solemn temples, the great globe itself,

Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuffAs dreams are made on; and our little life

Is rounded with a sleep.

Friends of Music 2015 CampaignRomeo and Juliet, Act II, sc. 2

Juliet - Leah Huskey Romeo – Alex GivensThe “Balcony Scene” is the signature scene where Romeo finds Juliet at her home. They declare their love and explore their predicament as lovers from warring families.

Hamlet, Act III, sc. 1Hamlet – Michael BaylerThis soliloquy is perhaps the quintessential Shakespearian speech. It occurs while Hamlet is waiting for Ophelia and exemplifies his indecision about avenging his father’s death.

Twelfth Night, or What You Will, Act II, sc. 2Viola – Leah HuskeyThis comedy features a love triangle. Count Orsino loves his neighbor Olivia, and Olivia loves Orsino’s servant Cesario. Cesario is really shipwrecked Viola disguised as a boy who is in love with Orsino. In this speech Viola has just come from delivering a message to Olivia while disguised as Cesario.

Othello, Act IV, sc. 2Iago – Jackson HarnedRoderigo – Alex GivensIn this tragedy, Iago plots against his general, Othello because he promoted Cassio over him. Iago has made promises to Roderigo to help him win Othello’s wife Desdemona. Iago has been stringing Roderigo along through much of the play and Roderigo has had enough.

The Tempest, Act IV, sc. 1Prospero - Cheryl BlackThe Tempest begins with a storm remote island where the sor-cerer Prospero seeks revenge on those who deposed him from his dukedom. This speech is delivered by Prospero as he dismisses the nymphs who have been entertaining his guests. This speech will round out our selection of scenes

Program Notes

Such Sweet Thunder (1957)

Few artists have enjoyed as close a working relationship as did Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. The two met in Pittsburgh following an Ellington Orchestra performance in 1938. Strayhorn played some of his own compositions, including “Lush Life,” which he had completed a year earlier at the age of twenty-one. Ellington hired him on the spot but without a clear agreement as to just what it was he was hiring him to do, nor was the arrangement formalized over the course of the next thirty years. Ellington once said, of Strayhorn that he was “my right arm, my left arm, all the eyes in the back of my head, my brainwaves in his head, and his in mine.”

Such Sweet Thunder, also known as Ellington’s Shakespearean Suite, is a twelve-movement work that was first performed in its entirety at the Stratford Festival in Ontario on September 5, 1957. Although there was an earlier debut at Town Hall in New York on April 28, 1957, the day before Ellington’s 58th birthday, the suite was incomplete with only eleven of the twelve movements written. At that time, Ellington was consumed by another major work, A Drum Is A Woman and the eleventh movement was only completed on the day of the Town Hall performance. Instead of listening to the tracks in the order they are presented on the 1957 recording, Jack Chambers, the distinguished professor of linguistics at the University of Toronto, who is also well known for his writings about jazz, suggests that the pieces be grouped categorically as tragedies, comedies, sonnets, or historically based works. The composers attempted to mirror both the meter of Shakespeare’s poetry and the sonnet form, as recited in iambic pentameter (pairs of alternating weak and strong emphases), akin to the way eighth notes are ‘felt’ in a swing pattern. Each work has a soloist-as-recitative concept, as if the soloist (Johnny Hodges, Cat Anderson, Clark Terry, Paul Gonsalves, et al) were reciting as the specific character depicted in the work: Hodges’s powerfully bending alto saxophone depicting the exotic nature of the relationship between Antony and Cleopatra, e.g.

In some respects, Ellington and Strayhorn’s compositions are like that of writers who harmonize hip vernacular, popular idiom, and traditional approaches into works that feel thrillingly fresh and timeless all at once. And so it makes perfect sense that Ellington and Strayhorn would compose a suite of songs based on scenes from William Shakespeare, that most skillful of literary alchemists, and that it would turn out to be, in the words of poet and music critic A.B. Spellman, “one of the most remarkable orchestral pieces in all of American music.”

Sonnet 73: De Profundis

As part of the commission for this piece, I was asked to incorporate text from Shakespeare to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death. I chose Sonnet 73:

That time of year thou may’st in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang

Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

In me thou see’st the twilight of such day,As after sunset fadeth in the west,

Which by-and-by black night doth take away,Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.

In me thou see’st the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

As the death-bed whereon it must expireConsum’d with that which it was nourish’d by.

This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

In the first twelve lines, this sonnet describes the narrator’s internal trauma. Because this part of the sonnet is in many ways “from the depths,” I added the first part of Psalm 130: the first verse in Latin and the first clause of the second verse in English.

De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine;

Lord, hear my voice.From the depths I have cried out to you, O Lord.

While the final couplet of the sonnet resolves the narrator’s strife through an outside agent, I felt the resolution should come from within the narrator. I rewrote the sonnet, keeping only the text I thought was most meaningful to my interpretation, omitting the final couplet and moving “glowing fire” to the end.

In me beholdFallen leaves.

Boughs shake against cold.Where late birds sang,

Bare ruined choirs.

In me twilight,Sunset fades,Black night.

On ashes I lie,Consumed.

In me glowing fire!

Together, the sonnet and the psalm tell a story about depression and self-acceptance, raising the question of salvation by human or divine means, respectively. The first line of the psalm occurs three times throughout the piece; the first two times as a stoic underpinning for the text from the sonnet, and the third time, alone in three ascending clusters. Simultaneously, the sonnet follows a spiraling emotional trajectory from the beginning until “on ashes I lie, consumed,” catharsis on the way to the realization of self-worth: “in me glowing fire!”
