    THESIS ABSTRACT

    Ethan Gans-Morse

    Master of Music

    School of Music and Dance

    June 2013

    Title: The Canticle of the Black Madonna

    The Canticle of the Black Madonna is an original opera-oratorio in two acts, comprising 27 pieces for six operatic

    soloists, mixed chorus, and chamber orchestra. It is based on an original libretto by Tiziana DellaRovere and is approximately

    two hours in duration. The Canticle of the Black Madonna combines elements of numerous musical traditions—including

    medieval organum, baroque oratorio, and both classical and contemporary chamber opera—to tell the story of a fictional

    American soldier returning from Afghanistan to his wife in Louisiana, the challenges they face to their marriage and livelihood

    as they struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder, the ecological and socioeconomic consequences of the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill,

    and the healing transformation they ultimately undergo at the hands of a mysterious divine figure called The Black Madonna.

    PERFORMANCE NOTES AND NOTATION OF EXTENDED TECHNIQUES

    Performance Notes

    The Canticle of the Black Madonna assumes that the conductor and performers possess some degree of familiarity with

    both classical and contemporary performance practices. In order to facilitate a successful reading or performance of the work,

    this introductory chapter provides a brief overview of the notational conventions and special notations for unconventional and

    extended techniques employed in the score.

    Senza misura

    While a large portion of The Canticle of the Black Madonna is notated with conventional barlines and rhythmic

    notation, there are numerous scenes and passages that are written without barlines. The purpose of these passages is to afford

    the singers a greater flexibility in the tempo and execution of the vocal line without the encumbrance of a conductor.

    Therefore, wherever barlines are absent or the tempo indication is “Senza Misura,” “Freely,” or “Quasi Recitativo,” the

    following guidelines are to be employed:

    1) The conductor may cue important entrances but should not beat time.

    2) The performers may give greater priority to the dramatic interpretation of the text over the precise execution of the

    notated rhythms.

    3) Accidentals are valid through the end of a line or phrase unless explicitly canceled.

    4) Ostinatos and other repetitive figures in the piano part are often notated inside a box connected to a wavy line,

    indicating that the material within the box is to be repeated freely until the singer has completed a particular phrase as

    denoted by the duration of the wavy line (see Example 1.)

    5) Simultaneous events are indicated with a vertical dashed line. Wherever these passages occur, the accompanying

    instruments—generally the piano and the percussion—have the vocal line written in their parts as it is generally their

    responsibility to follow the vocalists and execute their accompaniment colla voce whenever such a simultaneity is

    indicated. The singers must also be aware of these coinciding moments when they occur between vocal lines.

    Example 1. Act I, scene 3, measure 12, indicating a freely interpreted repetition of the material within the box.

    Accidentals, period practice, and the use of vibrato in the strings

    The Canticle of the Black Madonna makes extensive use of Common Practice tonal harmonies. Therefore, wherever

    standard barlines and rhythmic notations predominate, all accidentals are valid for the full duration of the measure. String

    players should employ discretion regarding the use of vibrato. Vibrato should not be employed at all on long tones lasting

    more than one full measure. Wherever the senza vibrato indication occurs, the desired effect is the imitation of a Renaissance

    viol. Wherever lyrical figures predominate, a warm and romantic vibrato is generally encouraged.

  • Example 2. Act I, scene 3, measure 7, indicating temporal simultaneities between the vocalist, percussionist, and pianist.

    Notation of Extended Techniques

    The Canticle of the Black Madonna makes use of numerous extended techniques, which are notated as follows:

    Piano

    Clusters are used as a percussive effect and are always fully chromatic, encompassing every key that comfortably fits

    within an open hand or a closed fist. The purpose of the clusters is to create a heavy, striking sound, not to articulate a

    particular pitch set. Therefore, while pitches are notated only approximately, rhythmic accuracy and an aggressive articulation

    are crucial to the execution of the clusters. Examples 3 and 4 are two examples of cluster notation.

    Example 3. Act I, scene 3, measure 3 Example 4. Act I, scene 3, measure 18

    Percussion

    Most of the percussion techniques notated in The Canticle of the Black Madonna fall within traditional and

    contemporary conventions, including bowing the suspended cymbal, crotales, and glockenspiel, the use of the “lion’s roar” (a

    bass drum with a waxed string) and the water gong (a small gong struck as it is dipped into a large bucket of water), and the

    use of ad lib. and aleatoric snare and bass drum strokes to imitate the sounds of modern weaponry. The only extended

    technique that may be unfamiliar to some percussionists is the “harmonic scrape.” This effect, which occurs throughout the

    piece in the Percussion 1 part, is accomplished by slowly but forcefully rubbing the head of a wooden snare drum stick along

    the grooves of a large suspended cymbal, either in small, deliberate circles or with quick scraping motions. The desired effect

    is a rich, chilling, metallic sound that unleashes the many harmonic overtones of the cymbal. In order for this technique to be

    effective, the suspended cymbal must be mounted on a cymbal stand and affixed from below, not hanging freely from a strap

    (the harmonic scrape becomes nearly impossible to execute if the cymbal is free to move about on its own.)

    Winds

    The brass and woodwind instruments rarely deviate from standard Common Practice techniques in The Canticle of the

    Black Madonna. However, there are a few instances in which the woodwind players are asked to produce unpitched air sounds

    or to overblow to create multiphonics. In the former case, which only occurs in Act II, scene 5, “The Hurricane,” the desired

    2

  • effect is purely air noise with as little pitch as possible. For this effect, the open cross notehead is used (Example 5). When

    multiphonics are called for and notated with triangle noteheads, specific fingerings are provided but the desired effect is simply

    a loud, dissonant and piercing sound; the actual pitches produced are irrelevant and individual players are free to adapt the

    fingerings for greatest effect.

    Example 5. Act II, scene 5, measure 2; notation used in woodwinds and horn to indicate an unpitched air sound.

    Strings

    The members of the string section in The Canticle of the Black Madonna are asked to perform a range of bow pressures

    and natural harmonics. The spectrum of bow pressure effects ranges from especially light bowing—flautando and air noise

    effects—to aggressively overpressured bowing to create unpitched noise and “creaking” effects. Bow pressure is notated with

    text indications with the exception of “air noise,” which is also indicated by the use of large diamond noteheads. The flautando

    effect is to be bowed as lightly as possible while still producing pitch, whereas “air noise” is to be bowed so lightly that the

    pitch is indistinct. Conversely, “overpressure bow” designates applying so much force to the bow that the pitch gives way to a

    rough, indistinct growl, creaking, or scratching sound. Natural and artificial harmonics are notated in the standard manner,

    using open circles above the notehead for natural harmonics, diamond auxiliary noteheads for artificial harmonics, and text

    indications for harmonic glissandi. Harmonic glissandi are always performed on natural harmonics and always in an ad lib.

    fashion (Example 6).

    Example 6. Act II, scene 5, measure 83, indicating ad lib. glissando up and down the string (the resulting sound occurs only at the

    corresponding harmonic nodes but the ascending and descending lines indicate the movement of the hand as in a normal gliss.)

    Wherever there is ambiguity regarding the preferred execution of harmonics, standard Roman numerals are used to indicate

    each string. Act II, scene 7, The Rite (A Dream), makes extensive use of harmonic trills whereby each string player alternates

    between two harmonic nodes on the same string, two different nodes to produce the same harmonic (timbre trills), and double

    stops that combine harmonic open strings and natural harmonics. Several of these more intensive applications of string

    harmonics are shown in Example 7 (following page), in which the second violin trills between two nodes on the D string by

    fingering an octave and a perfect fourth in alternation. Simultaneously, the viola plays a sequence of double stops, first with

    the G string open and the D string stopped at the harmonic node at the fifth, then the D string is open and the G string is

    stopped at the harmonic node at the perfect fourth. Meanwhile, the cello performs a timbre trill between the harmonic node on

    the fifth of the C string and the octave on the G string, while the first violin and double bass play artificial and natural

    harmonics, respectively. In all cases the diamond notehead represents the actual fingered stop, while the degree symbol (°)

    above a regular notehead indicates the sounding pitch of a natural harmonic.
