Carleton is an exceptionally musical college, where excellent musical opportu-
nities abound for all students, regardless of major. All Carleton students may
choose from a wide variety of classroom courses embracing the study of not
only western art music, its history, theory, and practices, but also rock, jazz,
global pop, Motown, and blues, film music, the philosophy and psychology of
music, and musics of India, Africa, the Caribbean, and China.
Over 800 Carleton students per year have also chosen to perform in Choir,
Orchestra, Symphony Band, Jazz Ensemble, Chinese Music Ensemble, West
African Drum Ensemble, and to study privately in an array of areas, including
voice and all instruments typical of western art music ensembles, and also folk
guitar, mandolin, banjo, sitar, Indian vocal music, African drums and karimba/
mbira, jazz, and Chinese musical instruments.
These programs show the wide variety of opportunities for all Carleton stu-
dents to hear, study, and perform music. Carleton’s Music and Drama Center
includes a concert hall seating 440, a 55-rank Holtkamp organ, two Steinway
concert grand pianos, two concert harpsichords, and an 18th century (replica)
forte-piano, as well as teaching, practicing, and rehearsal facilities in the Center
and in Music Hall.
For the student who wishes to make a career of music, the music major,
which leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, permits emphasis on performance,
composition, history, and theory. Students who wish to become supervisors
and/or elementary or high school teachers in music may follow a plan leading
to a TA year of graduate study at another institution and a Master of Arts in
Teaching.
Carleton College is working with HGA Architects and McGough Construc-

tion to design and build a new music & performance commons addition to
the Weitz Center for Creativity. The addition is being created to house the
majority of the music program and create a new performance space of high
acoustic quality to replace the existing Concert Hall. Music faculty offices,
rehearsal spaces, the music resource library, and teaching studios are included
in the project. The building will be completed and open in September 2017.

LAUDIE D. PORTER CONCERT SERIES
The Laudie D. Porter Memorial Fund was established in 1986 by the family and friends
of Laudie Porter, Assistant Professor of Flute at Carleton from 1968 until her death
in 1986. Not only did Laudie teach flute to hundreds of Carleton students, she also
endeavored to supplement her teaching by bringing to the campus outstanding mu
sicians and other artists. The fund is used each year to bring to campus a distinguished
performing or creative artist for a visit devoted both to performance and discussion.
The first choice each year should be for women practitioners in the arts.

BIOGRAPHY
Nirmala Rajasekar is a world renowned Carnatic virtuoso recognized as one of

the best Saraswathi veena players of today in the South Indian Classical music genre
- a consummate artist who has carved a special place amidst audiences across the
globe. She has been performing on her beloved ‘veena’ for over 35 years. She has
created and performed in many path breaking collaborations in the company of
many phenomenal and well known world musicians across genres. She has been
described in the media as a “Carnatic Ambassador.” Nirmala is known for her unique
presentations that carry her distinct voice and style. She is the recipient of many
awards including a Bush Artistic Fellowship, a McKnight Performer Fellowship, a
Rotary Excellence Award, Women of Excellence Award 2014, and many more.
She has been featured in many world-renowned venues, including New York’s
Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, Symphony Space, the Music Academy in Chennai
(India), the Rumi International Festival in Konya (Turkey), Musee Rietburg in Zurich
(Switzerland) and several concert halls of distinction in Australia, India, Europe and
Singapore. Her many albums have won both critical and popular acclaim with her
most recent release being in 2015, Sudha Sagara- Experience a live concert on the veena
from Charsur Digital Works, India. This is a live recording of one of Nirmala’s
concerts from the famed December International Music Season in Chennai, India.
VVS Murari’s heredity can be traced back to the great composer, Muttusvami
Dikshitar. This child prodigy’s debut as a soloist was at the age of 10. Murari is
the fourth generation of musicians in the family. His grandfather, Vadakkencheri
Veeraraghava Iyer, was a noted teacher and musician in his days. He started learning
from his grandfather, and then he learned under his father, Veteran Violin Maestro V
V Subrahmanyam. Murari is a dynamic and contemporary violinist of the immortal
art form - South Indian Classical (Carnatic) music - with an uncompromising
adherence to perfection, traditionalism, and discipline.

BIOGRAPHY
K Murugaboopathi is one of the topmost mridangam players of today. His

techniques and creative ability in accompaniment, solo renditions, and jugalbandhi
programs, along with his North Indian brethren, have earned him critical acclaim
around the world. He had his initial training under T R Srinivasan at the Tamil Nadu
Music College, Chennai. Murugaboopathi was conferred the “Vadya Visharada”
with distinction by the Music College. After about two years of stage experience,
he underwent further training in the gurukula tradition under the Late Mridangam
Maestro Tanjore Upendran for over 10 years. His percussion career has been a
colorful spectrum of accompaniment to a legion of leading artists and virtuosos
in Carnatic vocal and instrumental music. He has been instrumental in providing
support direction and guidance towards incubating several arts organizations in the
United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Dr. Ravi Balasubramanian is the most sought-after Ghatam artist in North

America, and is known for his energetic and sensitive accompaniment and solos. With
over five hundred concerts, Ravi has extensive experience in Carnatic percussion,
including performing the Ghatam at top musical institutions such as the Chennai
Music Academy and the Cleveland Aradhana for nearly twenty years. He received
the title “Yuva Kala Bharathi” in 2003 from Bharat Kalachar, a music organization in
Chennai, for excellence and dedication in the art of Ghatam. Ravi has expanded the
envelope of using the Ghatam in music, when he presented special “GhataTarang”
concerts with seven Ghatams as the lead melody and percussion instrument for the
first time outside of India. Ravi has had the rare honor and experience of performing
with leading artists including San-githa Kalanidhi vocalists, violinists, flautists, and
mridangists in India, USA, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia.

BIOGRAPHY
Described by the Washington Post as “particularly impressive,” and “extraordinary” by the
Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Steven Greenman is a multi-talented musical artist, who is equally
adept at performing stunning solo violin works with symphony orchestras, soulful East
European Jewish folk music (klezmer music) and passionate East European Romani (Gypsy)
music. Steven’s virtuosic performing skills are complimented with his passion for compo-
sition and education. As a composer, Steven has produced two landmark recordings of his
original Jewish and klezmer compositions, Stempenyu’s Dream and Stempenyu’s Neshome, while
two of his Jewish liturgical melodies have been recognized and published by the Shalshelet
Foundation for New Jewish Liturgical Music. With his recording Khevrisa: European Klezmer
Music, Steven is a Smithsonian Folkways recording artist. As an educator, Steven leads
klezmer music master classes internationally and has been a teaching artist with the Cleve-
land Orchestra’s “Learning Through Music” program since 2001. He has performed and
recorded with several of the world’s leading klezmer ensembles and is a founding member
of Cleveland’s East European ensemble Harmonia. Well-versed in performing Magyar nota
and various East European folk music styles, Steven has been a guest soloist with the Cleve-
land Pops Orchestra, the Canton Symphony and the Akron Symphony, performing his own
arrangements of traditional East European Romani (“Gypsy”) violin music and klezmer
music. Steven has explored classical Chinese music performing the famous Butterfly Lovers
Violin Concerto as soloist with the Chagrin Falls Studio Orchestra (2013) and the Firelands
Symphony (2015). His collaboration with master pipa-player Gao Hong, The Braided Candle,
explores a unique blending of both traditional Jewish and Chinese folk music styles. Steven
is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music receiving both Bachelor’s and Master’s
degrees in Violin Performance.
Gao Hong began her career as a professional musician at age 12. She graduated from the
Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing where she studied with pipa master Lin Shicheng.
She has received numerous awards and honors, including First Prize in the Hebei Professional
Young Music Performers Competition, a Beijing Art Cup, an Asian Pacific Award, and fellow-
ships from the Minnesota State Arts Board, and Meet the Composer and Sorel Organization
in New York. In 2005 Gao Hong became the first traditional musician to be awarded the
prestigious Bush Artist Fellowship, and in 2012 she became the only musician in any genre
to win four McKnight Artist Fellowships for Performing Musicians. As a composer, she has
received commissions from the American Composers Forum, Walker Art Center, the Jerome
Foundation, Zeitgeist, Ragamala, Minneapolis Guitar Quartet, Danish guitarist Lars Hanni-
bal, Theater Mu, IFTPA, and Twin Cities Public Television. She has performed throughout
Europe, Australia, Argentina, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and the United States and has par-
ticipated in such events as the Lincoln Center Festival, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, and
international festivals in Paris, Caen, Milan, and Perth. She has performed countless U.S. and
world premieres of pipa concerti with organizations such as the Saint Paul Chamber Or-
chestra, Heidelberg Philharmonic, Buenos Aires Philharmonic, Louisville Orchestra, Pasadena
Symphony, and the Women’s Philharmonic (San Francisco), among others. She is also Guest
Professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.

PROGRAM NOTES
Tonight’s program represents an unusual departure for Sō Percussion. Despite the many
different independent projects that we each engage in, our shows exclusively feature
ensemble music. Every once in awhile it makes sense for us to leave this paradigm in order
to highlight somebody else’s work. This concert is a chance to curate the work of two
of our favorite collaborators: Christopher U. Light Lecturer Dan Trueman and Carleton
faculty member Andrea Mazzariello. Both Dan and Andrea have been instrumental in
helping Sō Percussion develop an entirely new repertoire for percussion.
Mazzariello’s Babybot and Monobot exist as part of a sprawling series of “bot” pieces that he
first started writing for Sō Percussion almost ten years ago. Andrea’s facility as a drummer
lent an unmistakably idiomatic flair to his quartet pieces. As director of our Sō Percussion
Summer Institute composition program, he has extended this expertise by mentoring
students from across the country.
After writing neither Anvil nor Pulley for Sō, Dan Trueman set out on a project of writing new
solos for each of the members of Sō. His Nostalgic Synchronic Etudes for the newly invented
“bitKlavier” instrument did not begin as commissioned pieces for Adam Sliwinski, but they
quickly turned into that when Adam saw the early work and enthusiastically took it on. For
years, Josh Quillen has steadily amassed an output of new solos for steel drums, and tonight
he performs the gorgeous middle movement of Dan’s piece for him.
One of the key themes of Dan’s work is the intersection between idiosyncratic folk music and
digital technology. On this program we perform three versions of a traditional Norwegian
folk-tune called Systerslått: the original on Hardanger fiddle, an adaptation for drumset by
Jason Treuting, and a somewhat unhinged version performed by Adam on the bitKlavier,
where digital metronomes and delayed effects take the pianist on a very wild ride.
—Adam Sliwinski
21
PROGRAM NOTES
neither Anvil nor Pulley is an epic musical exploration of the man/machine relationship in
the digital age. In the second movement, the piece explores how differently machines and
people measure time- a long time interest of mine. The laptops provide a constant click
at 120 beats-per-minute (at first) but the humans can reset the metronomes at any time by
striking a handy piece of wood. Not to be thwarted, the clicks keep re-emerging, like whac-
a-mole, relentless.
The fourth movement also investigates using a computer as a storage bin and the many
ways of messing with the things we store. A concert bass-drum becomes a speaker that
is caressed (by speaker drivers taped to its heads) rather than struck, and its output is fed
back to the computer with hand-held microphones. The computer stores that sound for
a very short period of time, works some magic, and then sends it right back out again,
transformed, to the speaker-drum, where the process starts again. Surrounding the concert
bass-drum are an array of digital drum machines that also use feedback in unusual ways,
and a real-live drummer, who attempts to survive what amounts to a brutal, accelerating,
digital blender: this truly is man versus machine!
Composing for (I really should say “with”) Sō Percussion is an incredible pleasure. Their
collaborative and adventurous spirits (not to mention their sheer musical abilities) are awe-
some. In the past, I’ve had the privilege of actually performing my own music with them,
and to this day, I’ve never become comfortable with that traditional (or is it?) role of the
composer: sitting in the audience. I’d much rather be up there with my fiddle! Well, placed
around and in between 120bpm and Feedback are three fiddle tunes that sound from long
ago, as well as sounds of the fiddle itself embedded deep within 120bpm, frozen in time, and
extracted from the computer via, of all things, a modified $12 golf video game controller.”
—Dan Trueman

BIOGRAPHY
Dan Trueman is a composer, fiddler, and electronic musician. He began studying violin at
the age of 4, and decades later, after a chance encounter, fell in love with the Norwegian Har-
danger fiddle, an instrument and tradition that has deeply affected all of his work, whether as
a fiddler, a composer, or musical explorer.
Dan’s current projects include: a double-quartet for Sō Percussion and the JACK Quartet,
commissioned by the Barlow Foundation; Olagón -- an evening length work in collaboration
with singer Iarla Ó Lionáird, poet Paul Muldoon, and eighth blackbird; the Prepared Digital
Piano project; a collaborative dance project with choreographer Rebecca Lazier and scientist
Naomi Leonard; ongoing collaborations with Irish fiddler Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh and gui-
tarist Monica Mugan (Trollstilt). His recent albums with Adam Sliwinski (Nostalgic Synchronic),
Ó Raghallaigh (Laghdú) and So Percussion (neither Anvil nor Pulley) have met with wide acclaim.
His explorations have ranged from the oldest to the newest technologies; Dan co-founded the
Princeton Laptop Orchestra, the first ensemble of its size and kind that has led to the formation
of similarly inspired ensembles across the world, from Oslo to Dublin, to Stanford and Bang-
kok. Dan’s compositional work reflects this complex and broad range of activities, exploring
rhythmic connections between traditional dance music and machines, for instance, or engag-
ing with the unusual phrasing, tuning and ornamentation of the traditional Norwegian music
while trying to discover new music that is singularly inspired by, and only possible with, new
digital instruments that he designs and constructs. His tools of the trade are the first-of-its-kind
Hardanger d’Amore fiddle by Salve Hakedal (played with a beautiful baroque bow by Michel
Jamonneau), and the ChucK music programming language by Ge Wang.
Dan’s work has been recognized by fellowships, grants, commissions, and awards from the
Guggenheim Foundation, the Barlow Endowment, the Fulbright Commission, the American
Composers Forum, the American Council of Learned Societies, Meet the Composer, among
others. He is Professor of Music and Director of the Princeton Sound Kitchen at Princeton
University, where he teaches counterpoint, electronic music, and composition.
Sō Percussion is:
Eric Cha-Beach, Josh Quillen, Adam Sliwinski, and Jason Treuting
With its innovative multi-genre original productions, sensational interpretations of modern

classics, and “exhilarating blend of precision and anarchy, rigor and bedlam,” (The New Yorker),
Sō Percussion has redefined the scope of the modern percussion ensemble.
Their repertoire ranges from “classics” of the 20th century, by John Cage, Steve Reich, and
Iannis Xenakis, et al, to commissioning and advocating works by contemporary composers
such as David Lang, Steve Mackey, and Paul Lansky, to distinctively modern collaborations
with artists who work outside the classical concert hall, including vocalist Shara Worden, elec-
tronic duo Matmos, the groundbreaking Dan Deacon, legendary drummer Bobby Previte, jam
band kings Medeski, Martin, and Wood, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, choreographer Shen Wei, and
composer and leader of The National, Bryce Dessner, among many others.
23
BIOGRAPHY
Sō Percussion also composes and performs their own works, ranging from standard concert
pieces to immersive multi-genre programs – including Imaginary City, Where (we) Live, and the
newest endeavor, A Gun Show. In these concert-length programs, Sō Percussion employs a dis-
tinctively 21st century synthesis of original music, artistic collaboration, theatrical production
values and visual art, into a powerful exploration of their own unique and personal creative
experience.
In 2014/15, Sō Percussion performed David Lang’s percussion concerto “man made” with
Gustavo Dudamel for the opening of the LA Phil season; performed Bryce Dessner’s “Music
for Wood and Strings” at the Barbican in London, and at Bonnaroo Music and Art Festival; re-
leased a collaborative album with Bobby Previte and the Dessner work in a Billboard-charting
disc; created and performed an original score for a live performance and broadcast of WNYC’s
Radiolab with Jud Abumrad and Robert Krulwich at BAM; performed at SFJazz, the Museum
of Fine Arts, Boston, the Mona Bismarck Center in Paris; and more.
In the 15/16 season, Sō returns to Carnegie Hall for a performance with Glenn Kotche and
Shara Worden; opens Da Camera of Houston’s season in collaboration with Dawn Upshaw
and Gil Kalish; tours internationally to Poland and Ireland; performs at the SONiC Festival
with the JACK Quartet and Tristan Perich; appears at the universities of Washington, Denver,
and Wisconsin-Madison and, as Ensemble-in-Residence, offers multiple concerts at Princeton
University.
Sō Percussion is the Edward T. Cone Ensemble-in-Residence at Princeton University, and its

members are Co-Directors of the percussion department at the Bard College-Conservatory
of Music. They run the annual Sō Percussion Summer Institute (SoSI), providing college-age
composers and percussionists an immersive exposure to collaboration and project development.
Rooted in the belief that music is an essential facet of human life, a social bond, and an effec-
tive tool in creating agency and citizenship, Sō Percussion enthusiastically pursues a growing
range of social and community outreach. Examples include their Brooklyn Bound presentations
of younger ensembles; commitments to purchasing offsets to compensate for carbon-heavy ac-
tivities such as touring travel; and at SoSI 2105, leading their students in packing 25,400 meals
for the Crisis Center of Mercer County through the organization EndHungerNE.
Sō Percussion uses Vic Firth sticks, Zildjian cymbals, Remo drumheads, Estey Organs and Pearl/Adams instru-
ments. Sō Percussion would like to thank these companies for their generous support and donations.

to date, including the debut album from The Gloaming, which reached #1 on the Irish
music charts. He has performed far and wide, from New York’s Lincoln Center, to Lon-
don’s Royal Albert Hall, and to the Sydney Opera House. As well as his work in traditional
Irish music, Caoimhín writes new material that explores the region where traditional music
begins to disintegrate.
Dan Trueman is the Christopher U. Light Lecturer for 2015-16. Dan Trueman is a
composer, fiddler, and electronic musician. He began studying violin at the age of 4, and
decades later, after a chance encounter, fell in love with the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle,
an instrument and tradition that has deeply affected all of his work, whether as a fiddler, a
composer, or musical explorer. Dan has worked with many groups and musicians, including
Trollstilt and QQQ , the American Composers Orchestra, Sō Percussion, the RTÉ Concert
Orchestra, the Brentano and Daedelus string quartets, the Crash Ensemble, many wonder-
ful fiddlers, and has performed across America, Ireland, and Norway. Dan’s work has been
recognized by fellowships and grants from the Guggenheim and MacArthur Foundations,
among others. He is Professor of Music at Princeton University, where he teaches counter-
point, electronic music, and composition.

ABOUT THE INSTRUMENTS
Caoimhín & Dan play a stunning 10-string instrument made by Norwegian luthier Salve
Håkedal. The top five bowed gut strings plus the five sympathetic strings below give the
fiddle a wonderful resonant sound. It is somewhere between the Traditional Norwegian
hardanger fiddle and a viola d’amore, so it has been christened the Hardanger d’Amore.
They use baroque and transitional bows made by a wonderful French bowmaker named
Michel Jamonneau. His bows are things of great beauty, like paintbrushes for sound.

PROGRAM NOTES
There is no doubt that Mozart’s music was strongly influenced by his com-
position of opera. His two pieces in this program were written in the last
years of his life. He composed The Abduction from the Seraglio the year before
he wrote the Duo. The year after the “Dissonant” quartet, he embarked on a
composing spree that included some of the greatest operas ever written – The
Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Magic Flute. The theat-
rical, vocal, and emotional range of opera permeates both these works. The
melodies and intertwining of the voices recall the drama of opera.
Bartók, Sibelius, and Martinů, besides being eminent composers active in the
first half of the twentieth century, were also well-known teachers. The 44
Duos by Bartók were designed as progressive pieces, divided into four books.
Beginners can play the pieces from book 1, while the pieces from books 3 &
4 are appropriate for performance. Bartók put these pieces in order from eas-
iest to advanced with the help of his friend Zoltán Székely (who premiered
Bartók’s second Violin Concerto). Bartók asked Székely to play the first
violin part backward (violin in the right hand, bow in the left) while Bartók
himself played the second violin part. Bartók felt that this method would
replicate two intermediate violinists and determine which pieces were easier
and which most difficult. Sibelius most likely wrote the C Major Duo as a
teaching piece with the viola part played by the teacher and the violin part
by the student. Martinů wrote a number of duos for two violins that were
designed as teaching pieces. His Three Madrigals, however, were composed
as concert pieces dedicated to the sister and brother duo, Lillian and Joseph
Fuchs (who were distinguished teachers at Juilliard). Martinů wrote the Mad-
rigals after hearing these two artists perform the Mozart Duos.

BIOGRAPHY
Mark Kreitzer (guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, mandolin, mandocello, mandola, Dobro,
ukulele). The Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Association (MBOTMA)
recognized Mark’s virtuosity by presenting him with its first Favorite Bluegrass
Multi-Instrumentalist award. Mark also is a member of the Clearwater Hot Club,
Patty and the Buttons, and the Mill City Hot Club. He often sits in with other local
groups, including Becky Schlegel, The Platte Valley Boys, Twin Cities Hot Club, and
the French 75. He was a long-time member of the Harmonious Wail and, as a mem
ber of the Middle Spunk Creek Boys, was inducted into the Minnesota Rock and
Country Hall of Fame. Mark, a prolific songwriter and recipient of MBOTMA’s first
Favorite Bluegrass Songwriter award, has recorded two CDs of his originals - Pages
(solo CD) and The Mark Kreitzer Band. A number of other bands have recorded his
music, as well. One of Mark’s most recent projects was writing the music and lyrics
for the Minnesota Centennial Showboat musical, Mark Twain’s Mississippi, based on
Twain’s book, Life on the Mississippi. Laurie Lewis captures Mark’s writing with a
simple statement: “ This fellow has something to say.” Mark is an educator, as well,
currently teaching American Folk Instruments at Carleton College.
Anthony Ihrig (banjo, dobro, guitar, percussion, vocals), a former rock and roll
drummer, has spent the last ten years making a name for himself in the Upper Mid-
west’s booming acoustic music scene. In 1999, he co-founded the Twin Cities-based
string band Free Range Pickin’, who were at the forefront of a “newgrass” revolution
that helped introduce modern string band music to a whole new generation of fans.
In 2006, he co-founded The High 48s Bluegrass Band, one of the premier traditional
bluegrass bands in the region and winners of the prestigious RockyG
rass Bluegrass
Band Competition in Lyons, Colorado. Anthony was one of a handful of song
writers selected for the 2012 International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA)
Songwriter Showcase at the World of Bluegrass convention in Nashville, TN. He
has released nine full-length albums, toured the US playing major bluegrass festivals,
recorded one of his original songs with Grammy-winning Nashville musicians Ran-
dy Kohrs and Mike Compton, performed with Prairie Home Companion’s Garrison
Keillor, consulted with banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck about the history of the banjo
before Fleck’s Throw Down Your Heart album/film, and has had his original music
featured in film and on radio stations across the country.

BIOGRAPHY
Chuck Kreitzer’s (bass, vocals) father taught orchestral strings, his mother taught
vocal music and orchestra, and all six Kreitzer children played instruments, starting
with piano and venturing out from there, generally to stringed instruments and folk
music. Chuck went the classical route and played the French horn until college, ini
tially planning a double major in French horn and voice. He started down a slippery
slope, however, when his high school band teacher asked him to fill the band’s need
for a bass player. At the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, he gave up the
French horn but continued playing orchestral bass, then got his masters in bass from
the University of Colorado, Boulder. Upon his return to the Midwest, Mark led him
and his bass astray, and Chuck joined Mark first in the Middle Spunk Creek Boys,
then in the newly-formed Mark Kreitzer Band. Not wanting to turn his back com
pletely on his love of orchestral music and education, Chuck played for a number
of years with the St. Paul Civic Orchestra, Bloomington Symphony, Wayzata Com
munity Orchestra, and the Metropolitan Orchestra, and now is nearing his 30th year
teaching strings (violin, cello, bass, and viola) in Hopkins public schools.
“Doctor Tom” Schaefer (fiddle) started medical school 1975, and, not having
enough to do, started learning to fiddle, quickly becoming the South Dakota State
Fiddle Champion (’78, ’79, ’80) and North Dakota State Fiddle Champion (’87).
He’s currently a member of Cousin Dad, Tune Jerks, and Cagley Black, Schaefer,
Njoes, and plays with Rugged Road, Clearwater Hot Club, Platte Valley Boys, and
Mary Henderson/Geoff Shannon. He often sits in with other local groups, including
seven at the 2012 MBOTMA Winter Bluegrass Weekend, possibly setting a festival
record! Tom’s fiddling has been recorded on more than 60 CD’s, and he has per
formed with many notable performers, including Country Music Hall of Famers
Hank Thompson and Jethro Burns, Grammy winners Riders in the Sky and Clay
Hess, Texas Playboy alumni Tiny Moore and Eldon Shamblin, and Bluegrass Boy
alumnus Bob Black, as well as with Tommy Emmanuel, Peter Ostrousko, Paddy
O’Brien, Daithi’ Sproule, Altan, Jay Ungar, Liz Carroll, Michael Cleveland, Garrison
Keillor, Dean Magraw, Dan Newton, Katie McMahon, Mike Auldrige, Randy Kohrs,
Brian Miller, Norah Rendell, Jack Lawrence, Tim Hennessy, Laura MacKenzie, and

IN PRAISE OF MUSIC
“I Pant for the Music”
music by David Conte | b. 1955
poetry by Percy Bysshe Shelley | 1792 - 1822
Carleton Choir
Thomas Bartsch, piano
I pant for the music which is divine,

My heart in its thirst is a dying flower;
Pour forth the sound like enchanted wine,
Loosen the notes in a silver shower;
Like a herbless plain, for the gentle rain,
I gasp, I faint, till they wake again.
Let me drink of the spirit of that sweet sound,

More, oh more,--I am thirsting yet;
It loosens the serpent which care has bound
Upon my heart to stifle it;
The dissolving strain, through every vein,
Passes into my heart and brain.
photography and refrain from leaving during the
performance. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

FROSTIANA: Seven Country Songs

music by Randall Thompson | 1899 - 1984
poetry by Robert Frost | 1874 - 1963
Carleton Choir - Bella Cantemus - Men’s Chorus

Chamber Orchestra
1. The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both,
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could,
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
77
PROGRAM
2. The Pasture
I’m going out to clean the pasture spring;
I’ll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch
the water clear, I may):
I shan’t be gone long.
You come too.
I’m going out to fetch the little calf

That’s standing by the mother.
It’s so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I shan’t be gone long.
You come too.
3. Come In
As I came to the edge of the woods,
Thrush music -- hark!
Now if it was dusk outside,
Inside it was dark.
Too dark in the woods for a bird

By sleight of wing
To better its perch for the night,
Though it still could sing.
The last of the light of the sun

That had died in the west
Still lived for one song more
In a thrush’s breast.
Far in the pillared dark

Thrush music went --
Almost like a call to come in
To the dark and lament.
78
PROGRAM
But no, I was out for stars;

I would not come in.
I meant not even if asked;
And I hadn’t been.
4. The Telephone
“When I was just as far as I could walk
From here to-day,
There was an hour
All still
When leaning with my head against a flower
I heard you talk.
Don’t say I didn’t, for I heard you say -
You spoke from that flower on the window sill -
Do you remember what it was you said?”
“First tell me what it was you thought you heard.”

“Having found the flower and driven a bee away,
I leaned my head,
And holding by the stalk,
I listened and I thought I caught the word -
What was it? Did you call me by my name?
Or did you say -
Someone said ‘Come’ - I heard it as I bowed.”
“I may have thought as much,
but not aloud.”
“Well, so I came.”
5. A Girl’s Garden
A neighbor of mine in the village
Likes to tell how one spring
When she was a girl on the farm, she did
A childlike thing.
79
PROGRAM
One day she asked her father

To give her a garden plot
To plant and tend and reap herself,
And he said, “Why not?”
In casting about for a corner

He thought of an idle bit
Of walled - off ground where a shop had stood,
And he said, “Just it.”
And he said, “That ought to make you

An ideal one-girl farm,
And give you a chance to put some strength
On your slim-jim arm.”
It was not enough of a garden,

Her father said, to plough;
So she had to work it all by hand,
But she don’t mind now.
She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow

Along a stretch of road;
But she always ran away and left
Her not-nice load.
And hid from anyone passing.

And then she begged the seed.
She says she thinks she planted one
Of all things but weed.
A hill each of potatoes,

Radishes, lettuce, peas,
Tomatoes, beets, beans, pumpkins, corn,
And even fruit trees.
80
PROGRAM
And yes, she has long mistrusted

That a cider apple tree
In bearing there to-day is hers,
Or at least may be.
Her crop was a miscellany

When all was said and done,
A little bit of everything,
A great deal of none.
Now when she sees in the village
How village things go,
Just when it seems to come in right,
She says, “I know!
It’s as when I was a farmer--”

Oh, never by way of advice!
And she never sins by telling the tale
To the same person twice.
6. Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farm-house near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sounds the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
81
PROGRAM
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
7. Choose Something Like A Star

O Star (the fairest one in sight),
We grant your loftiness the right
To some obscurity of cloud—
It will not do to say of night,
Since dark is what brings out your light.
Some mystery becomes the proud.
But to the wholly taciturn
In your reserve is not allowed.
Say something to us we can learn
By heart and when alone repeat.
Say something! And it says, ‘I burn.’
But say with what degree of heat.
Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade.
Use language we can comprehend.
Tell us what elements you blend.
It gives us strangely little aid,
But does tell something in the end.
And steadfast as Keats’ Eremite,
Not even stooping from its sphere,
It asks a little of us here.
It asks of us a certain height,
So when at times the mob is swayed
To carry praise or blame too far,
We may choose something like a star
To stay our minds on and be staid.

PROGRAM NOTES
Fall Flourishes and Frights!

Music that celebrates the beauty and spirit of Autumn
Compiled by Claire Larson
:COLOR:
Flourish for Wind Band by Ralph Vaughn Williams

Lasting about two minutes, Flourish for Wind Band was intended as an over-
ture for a pageant. It was first performed in 1939 in the Royal Albert Hall,
London. In the decade following its premiere it was lost. In 1971 the score
resurfaced and was finally published. Moreover, it attracted the attention
of composer/arranger Roy Douglas, who fashioned versions of the piece
for orchestra and a different one for wind band. The original, by Vaughan
Williams, opens with a lively fanfare based on a four-note motif. Marked
‘Maestoso,’ the music blazes in gaudy, brassy colors but then settles down
midway through with the introduction of a serene, stately melody related to
the opening motif.
October by Eric Whitacre

Premiering in 2000, this beautiful piece for band was commissioned by a
consortium of 30 Nebraska schools. Eric Whitacre writes:
October is my favorite month. Something about the crisp autumn air and the
subtle change in light always makes me a little sentimental, and as I
started to sketch I felt that same quiet beauty in the writing. The simple,
pastoral melodies and subsequent harmonies are inspired by the great
English Romantics (Vaughn Williams, Elgar) as I felt that this style was
also perfectly suited to capture the natural and pastoral soul of the season.
Now one of the most beloved pieces written for band and paints a musical
canvas of Autumn.
122
PROGRAM NOTES
:IMAGINATION:
Theme and Deviations by Shirley Mier
Originally commissioned in 2003 by the Minneapolis based Seward Concert
Band, this clever work is one of a kind. It is a developmental theme and
variations work, full of drama and sly humor. Every instrument section is
utilized throughout the work--often playing idiomatic snippets of the theme
transformed. Deviation 1 has a martial spirit while Deviation 2 is a devious
little scherzo. Deviation 3 is a serene Adagio featuring a lyrical flute trio.
Deviation 4 is a finale--almost circus like- which brings the work to a rousing
finish. Composed by well-known Twin Cities composer and music educator
Shirley Mier.
Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Andrew Boysen Jr.
Commissioned by the South Central Iowa Bandmasters Association in 2003,
this innovative work uses contemporary notation and techniques. The piece
is programmatic in nature allowing the ensemble and audience to quickly
grasp the spirit of the work. Based on Washington Irving’s famous story,
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Boysen works to portray elements of the story
as told from the perspective of Ichabod Crane. The hymn tune, How Firm a
Foundation, is prominent in the work serving as a comfort to Ichabod which
simultaneously anchors the piece to the church.
Nevermore by Brian Balmages
Commissioned in 2011, this piece is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s “The
Raven”. In the poem, Poe describes a man who is confronted by a raven
and slowly descends into utter madness. The opening sounds of the piano
create an eerie backdrop to begin the work. The mysterious harmonies
and a lonely saxophone solo paint a picture of a desolate man in a quiet
apartment. As tension builds, an unrelenting brass line depicts the first
sighting of the raven. As the music continues, the man confronts the raven
--each time more forceful and angrier only to hear the response “Never-
more”. This line repeats more violently and and chaotically until the dark
melancholy strains of the piano and saxophone return, leaving the listener
wondering what became of the man after his encounter with the Raven.
Featuring: Gabby Bierlin De la Rosa on Piano
Ghost Fleet by Robert Sheldon
Noted for its beautiful soaring lines, beckoning musical motifs and nautical
tone, this programmatic work paints a picture of a fleet of decommissioned
warships anchored in the James River. The music represents the “spirits”
of these ships as the ghostly fleet breaks free, returning to the high seas and
former days of glory.

PROGRAM NOTES
In Response: Music That Highlights Significant Events!

Music has a way of highlighting significant events of our world. These musical
selections bring about greater awareness of our American achievements while
also drawing people’s attention to current issues, in which are compelling. “In
Response...” will feature pieces that hold significance because of what they
embody to most people. In a “divided” world, music has the power to unite
us around common themes of humanity. These themes will be showcased
in our program.
OPENING
Canzona per Sonare No.2 by Giovanni Gabrieli

Gabrieli was one of the premiere vocal and instrumental composers of the
Renaissance/Baroque era. His major contribution to music history was in
the development of an antiphonal canonic style of composition, which later
was known as the Baroque “concertato” style. He used spatially separated
groups of instruments to create maximum effect. This juxtaposed - yet
collaborative - performance practice is recognized even today as Gabrieli’s
unique musical “signature.”
AMERICA’S IMPRESSIVE AERONAUTICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
To Challenge the Sky and Heavens Above by Robert W. Smith

As our great country strove for advances in technology and space travel, we
pushed the boundaries by turning our attention to dreams of flight. This
piece draws upon the vision and bravery of those who soared through the
heavens above - the scientists and astronauts who laid the foundation for
modern spaceflight and exploration.
128
PROGRAM NOTES
AMERICA’S BEST IDEA TO PRESERVE OUR ENVIRONMENT:

THE NATIONAL PARKS
Crescent Meadow by Rob Romeyn

This year we celebrate the Centennial Anniversary of the National Park
Service. Woodrow Wilson was the first president who signed a bill to create the
National Park Service. Later in 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt expanded the
NPS by adding the National Monuments. He utilized the work of the Civilian
Conservation Corps to put Americans back to work while also improving
the parks. The National Parks: America’s Best Idea - coined by naturalist Ken
Burns, is an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence. It holds
the idea that the most special places in the nation should be preserved, not
for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. In comparison to global natural
preservation initiatives, the establishment of the NPS continues to be one of
the significant acts made and sustained by our American presidents. Crescent
Meadow was written to celebrate California’s Sequoia National Park.
POLITICAL WISDOM: UNITY
Lincoln Portrait by Aaron Copland

Narrated by Roger Bechtel
Completed in 1942 by the composer, this cornerstone of the band and

orchestra repertoire uses material from Lincoln’s famous speeches, including
the Gettysburg Address and the Lincoln/Douglas debates. In 1865,
Abraham Lincoln’s leadership in uniting our country while establishing his
Emancipation Proclamation, would be considered, in retrospect, as some of
the greatest presidential acts to date. Today we recognize him as one of the
most important leaders in the history of America.

WOMEN’S CONTRIBUTIONS
Albanian Dances by Shelley Hanson

In the past 50 years there has been a profound increase in the role that
Women play in our world. Whether it be in the medical field, politics,
global economics, and the Arts, women play an IMPORTANT ROLE in
the viability of our world. In previous decades, female composers, authors,
and scientists were often known to publish their work under their husband’s
name or a male alias. Shelley Hanson’s Albanian Dances was composed for
The East Lansing High School Band and their director Jane Church (one
of the first women band directors in Michigan). The composer remarks:
Albanian Dance seems to be my most popular piece, which is amusing because it is also
the piece that I wrote the fastest - 2 weeks from first note on the page to finished set of
parts. It was selected as a representative work of one of the premiere female
women composers of our time. Tonight we wish to celebrate all women for
their many contributions.
IN RESPONSE!
Be Thou My Vision a Traditional Irish Hymn arr. by Travis Cross

“Be Though My Vision” incorporates a traditional Irish melody found in
the 1909 edition of Old Irish Folk Music and Songs. In 1927, the tune was
harmonized and matched with the ancient Irish hymn text with which it has
come to be so closely associated today. This arrangement for wind band
seeks to capture the humble simplicity and deep faith represented by the
hymn text. It was premiered in 1999 by the St. Olaf Band in their concert,
Dreams and Visions! As we endure tumultuous times: political unrest, racial
and religious tensions, and other local and global challenges, we ponder
our past achievements. With reflection and inspiration, we realize that we
are “part of the equation” for the advancement of goodness in this world.
Regardless of which “God” we worship - we are all one people. We unite
through music to celebrate our great potential. Within our hearts, minds and
hands lies ‘promise’ for the world.
Be Thou my vision, O God of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

PROGRAM NOTES
HOT!
Featuring a selection of some of the HOTTEST
band compositions and composers of our time!
In the “band world,” works of Grainger, Holst, and Sousa helped form and
define the band ensemble in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Today’s 21st
century composers and styles have greatly evolved the wind band from our
British and military roots. Our concert will feature some of today’s hottest
band composers and their unique compositional styles. Program notes are
based on thoughts and ideas presented by the composers.
134
PROGRAM NOTES
Mother Earth (A Fanfare) by David Maslanka
Mother Earth was composed for the South Dearborn High School Band of
Aurora, Indiana, with Brian Silvey as conductor. The commission was for
a three-minute fanfare piece. Each piece takes on a reason for being all its
own, and Mother Earth is no exception. It became an urgent message from
Our Mother to treat her more kindly! My reading at the time of writing this
music was For a Future to be Possible by the Vietnamese monk and teacher,
Thich Nhat Hanh. He believes that the only way forward is to be extremely
alive and aware in our present moment, to become awake to the needs of our
beloved planet, and to respond to it as a living entity. Music-making allows
us to come immediately awake. It is an instant connection to the powerful
wellspring of our creativity, and opens our minds to the solution of any
number of problems, including that of our damaged environment. My little
piece does not solve the problem, but it is a living call to the wide-awake life,
and it continues to be performed by young people around the world.
– David Maslanka
Joy Revisited! by Frank Ticheli
Above all, Joy Revisited is an expression of its namesake: simple, unabashed

joy! The piece was inspired by the birth of my first child. The intense feelings
that any father would likely feel on such a day were, in my case, accompanied
by a simple little tune which grabbed hold of me in the hours preceding her
birth, and refused to let go throughout the day and many days thereafter. I
would not release its grip, and seven years later re-discovered those old tune
sketches and composed this joy-filled concert overture.
– Frank Ticheli
135
PROGRAM NOTES
The Seal Lullaby by Eric Whitacre

In the Spring of 2004, I received a call from a major film studio. My dear
friend, Stephen Schwartz had recommended me to them and they wanted
to know if I might be interested in writing music for an animated feature.
I was incredibly excited, said yes, and took the meeting. The studio wanted
to make an epic adventure, a classic animated film based on Kipling’s “The
White Seal.” Kipling’s tale begins with the mother seal singing softly to her
young pup!
Oh! Hush thee, my baby, the night is behind us,

And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The moon, o’er the combers, looks downward to find us,
At rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where billow meets billow, then soft be thy pillow,

Oh weary wee flipperling, curl at they ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee,
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas!
– Rudyard Kipling, 1865-1936
Although this film never “came to be,” the Towne Singers commissioned
the choral arrangement of it, and in 2011, I transcribed the piece for concert
band!
– Eric Whitacre
Grand Canyon Suite by Eric Ewazen

directed by Gwen Anderson
Ewazen has written many compositions for brass and wind instruments, and
his style is imbued with the spirit of Copland, Creston, and other American
composers. He has written several works for horn choirs, including the Grand
Canyon Octet (1996). This piece was originally commissioned for the Arizona
State University Horns by Thomas Bacon, hence the Arizona reference in the
title. The composer gives the following program notes for the first movement
which you will hear performed tonight: “The first movement is a rollicking
allegro with playful motives tossed from instrument to instrument.” It is a
bold and colorful piece, utilizing almost the full 4-octave register range of the
horn, and is a blast to perform. We hope you enjoy it!
– Gwen Anderson
136
PROGRAM NOTES
Bright Sunny Days by Andrew Boysen Jr.

This lighter selection celebrates the end of the school year and the beginning
of the summer. The piece begins with the clock ticking towards the end
of the final day of school. The winds are playing rising diminished chords
(gradually increasing excitement) and the chimes are playing an augmented
version of the traditional Westminster Chimes. After a short introduction,
Bright Sunny Days is simply a joyful celebration of summer, set in quasi-rondo
form and featuring a complex metric structure.
– Andrew Boysen Jr.
Today is the Gift by Samuel Hazo
“Tomorrow is a mystery. Yesterday is history. Today is the gift.”

– African Proverb
This composition was commissioned by The Midwest Clinic and is written

for brass and percussion. Woodwind players are integral to the percussion
and vocal parts. The lyrics are derived from an East African tribal dialect.
The translation is “Today is the gift.” Zah-Ray seh-toh-tah-noh.
On December 1st, 1955, Mrs. Rosa Parks displayed a level of courage that
only the intrinsic certainty of truth can inspire. Solely because of Mrs.
Parks’ action, the contemptible Montgomery Segregation Law was declared
unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on November 13, 1956, later resulting
in the executive order to desegregate buses in Montgomery Alabama. To the
Civil Rights Movement in America, December 1st is the day that is considered
“the gift.”

PROGRAM NOTES
Ambient Love by Kaylee Shiao ’17

This is an experience of love. Of being surrounded by it, reminded
that it’s always out there, among the noise and the sound and the si-
lence and whatever else lies beyond. This is a gesture, a pointed finger,
a nod towards the notion that love is music all on it’s own.
Camerado by Joshua Ruebeck ’17

“What do you seek so pensive and silent
What do you need cambered?
Dear son, do you think it is love?”
—Walt Whitman
Miles by Agnes Tse ’16

Miles is a piece about my countless long distance flights flying back to
and from Hong Kong over the last four years. I have always thought
these long distance flights are long suspended moments for me to re-
flect on a certain period- like a school term, or a break. I tend to pack
in as many activities as I possibly can. Therefore, whenever my feet
touch the ground, I am running to places to get things done. Hence, I
never get to take a moment to reflect on my life. However, I am forced
to disconnect with the rest of the world every time I take a long dis-
tance flight. I lose a sense of time during the flight. Inspired by some
Kalimba music that has a fascinating momentum, Miles is written in a
5/4 meter. I also took inspiration from Jewish Klezmer music, which
I worked on with the World Music Ensemble this term, employing
the D Freygish mode in this piece. As a senior, I am deeply glad that a
sentiment that holds a special place in my heart about my college expe-
rience can be elaborated into a solo piano piece today. Special thanks
to Andrea for his great advice, so that my initial idea has evolved in
many ways to become a complete piece today. Miles is a solo piano
piece about suspended moments and space.

Slowly I’ll Show You: Variations on a Chromatic Descent into Chaos

by Yang Chen ’17
A quiet introverted violinist gets up to the stage.
“What is it you have to play?” asked the crowd.
“Slowly I’ll show you,” replied the violinist
“this simple theme ... as it descends into chaos!”
Special thanks to the cellist, Claire Trujillo for helping me make this
happen!

As to the piece, I wrote it because I wanted to make music that was
beautiful, and true, and would sweep people up and let them share in
something bigger than themselves. I sincerely hope it does that. As to
the performers, I can’t thank them enough for helping me perform
this, and I hope it’s not too bad for them to learn at the beginning of
the finals crunch.
Lake Minnetonka, MN by Charles Kretchmer Lutvak ’19

I’d like to thank the musicians for going through this process, learn-
ing the piece, and performing with me.
As I Lay Down to Sleep by Andy Tirro ’17

I attempted to compose a lullaby, and ended up describing a scenario,
which, although it might leave your little ones with an uncomfortable
feeling, may constitute a suitable lullaby for the mature listener. Is it
anecdotal? Meh. Is it true? Probably. Significant inspirations and in-
fluences are Eric Whitacre, the season 2 opener for the anime Tokyo
Ghoul, and Billy Joel as always.

Benjamin Allen, Senior Lecturer in Voice, received the B.M.Ed.

from Wartburg College. He has studied with C. Robert Larson,

Taylor. He has performed as a soloist with numerous regional
and national organizations including the Saint Paul Chamber

chestra, the Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra, and the Min-
nesota Opera. He has taught at the University of Minnesota-Du-
luth, Bethel University, Macalester College and the Minnesota
Center for Arts Education. Ben is currently on the voice faculty
and is coordinator of the voice department at The International
Music Camp. His interest in understanding the “cultural voice”,
to serve better the needs of international students who don’t
have experience with Western vocal concepts, led him to become
involved with the Minneapolis East African community singing
in the Minnesota Swahili Choir. During several trips to Africa,
Ben collected and transcribed original African choral music. His
transcriptions of works by Tanzanian composer Israel Kagaruki
are published by Hal Leonard Publishing. Ben is a past Board
Chair for the non-profit agency, Compassionate Solutions for Af-
rican Development (COSAD), which undertakes economic devel-
opment using the African choir as the target community within
which to develop sustainable enterprise projects.

PROGRAM NOTES
Ariettes Oubliées (Forgotten Songs) is a song cycle written by Claude

Debussy in the years 1885-1887. In it, Debussy sets poems selected
from Romances Sans Paroles (Songs Without Words), a collection of
poems written by Paul Verlaine and published in 1874. Verlaine’s
collection, whose title refers a set of piano works by Felix Mendels-
sohn (Lieder Ohne Worte), is organized into 4 sections: Ariettes oubliées,
9 poems including “C’est l’Extase,” “Il pleure dans mon coeur,” and
“L’ombre des arbres”; Paysages belges (Belgian Landscapes), which
includes “Chevaux de Bois”; Birds in the Night; and Aquarelles (Water-
colors), which includes “Green” and “Spleen”. These section titles
clearly show how Verlaine was inspired by both music and the visual
arts. Similarly, Debussy’s music has been named “impressionistic,”
due to its relation to the school of painting. Rather than points of
color, Debussy composes with gestures that complement the varying
moods of Verlaine’s poems.
A note on the last two songs: all of the Aquarelles were given En-
glish titles, allegedly because Verlaine simply liked their sound. While
“Spleen” may sound like an odd name for a poem, the spleen was
thought by the ancient Greeks to be the source of melancholy and
mood swings, and the French word ‘splénétique’ is used in this sense.
The translations provided for are by Edith Braun.

Songs of Travel, Ralph Vaughan William’s first set of songs, was com-
posed between 1901 and 1904; the last song was published posthu-
mously and is intended to only be sung in a complete performance
of the cycle. The text is selected from a collection of poems of the
same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, best known for his novel
Treasure Island. Not well known for his poetry, Stevenson was also an
amateur instrumentalist, and intended two of the poems to fit given
tunes (“The Vagabond” “to an air of Schubert” and “Whither Must
I Wander” “to the tune of Wandering Willie”). Though Williams
did not use either tune in his settings, his own interest in British folk
music brings a similar feel to this collection.
Joshua Ruebeck studies with Dr. Rick Penning.
