a note from the chair and the president

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Symphony Center Presents, and Negaunee Music Institute. While each provides us with the gift of music year round, there is something particularly special about attending concerts during this festive time. We are so grateful that circumstances allow us to come together again and that you have chosen to make music part of your holiday traditions.

The CSO begins concerts in December with the world-premiere performances of Magnus Lindberg’s Serenades, a CSO co-commission. Conducted by Hannu Lintu, the program also includes Brahms’s Fourth Symphony and Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole performed by violinist Ray Chen. Then, conductor Andrés OrozcoEstrada leads the CSO in another world premiere and CSO commission, Gabriela Lena Frank’s Haillí-Serenata.

On the same program, which ends with Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, the CSO’s new Artist-in-Residence Hilary Hahn performs Dvořák’s Violin Concerto, a work that received its U.S. premiere with the Orchestra, conducted by Theodore Thomas, in 1891. Next, Nicholas McGegan conducts the long-awaited reunion of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for four performances of Handel’s Messiah. The first CSO concerts of 2022 include Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture, as well as Ravel’s Boléro and Piano Concerto in G major with soloist Inon Barnatan and conductor André de Ridder.

Symphony Center Presents welcomes the return of the a cappella ensemble Chanticleer to Fourth Presbyterian Church for its Christmas program, in addition to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass for a performance of heart-stirring arrangements for symphonic brass and percussion in Orchestra Hall.

From December 17–23, Alastair Willis conducts Broadway star Jessica Vosk and members of the CSO in its traditional holiday program, Merry, Merry Chicago!

During this season of giving, we hope that you consider making a gift to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s Annual Fund.

BERNARD

HAITINK

By Phillip Huscher

6 CSO.ORG

This past October 21, the day Bernard Haitink died, the Chicago Symphony opened its Thursday night concert with Bach’s Air on the G string, which it has so often played to memorialize important people in the Orchestra’s history.

Ironically, the first time Haitink ever led our Orchestra, on March 3, 1976, he began with the same piece by Bach, to honor the death two days earlier of Jean Martinon, the Orchestra’s seventh music director.

Although Haitink was not one of the Orchestra’s ten music directors, he was one of its most important leaders. Beginning in 2006, he served as its first-ever principal conductor, a title and a role created to shepherd the Orchestra through the four-year transition from Daniel Barenboim to Riccardo Muti—a tricky time for an orchestra going through an unusually long wait between music directors. From the start of the 2006–07 season until the fall of 2010, Haitink oversaw the health of the Orchestra, presided over auditions for new players, advised on repertoire and the choice of guest artists, and led several weeks of concerts each season in Orchestra Hall. The match with Chicago had come as something of a surprise, since Haitink

“ I remember a number of years ago, when I had been out of work for several weeks because of an injury to my left wrist that made it impossible for me to play, that Haitink called me at home to tell me that he missed me. I was really surprised to get his phone call and have never forgotten that little moment of kindness. I will miss not only his fine conducting and musicianship but also his humanity.”

had never had a particularly close relationship Turnage, modern classics by Britten and with the Orchestra. In fact, he had conducted Lutosławski, and out-of-the-way composers it in just a handful of programs—in 1976 and such as Henry Cowell. And in 2011, when he 1997—at the time he was asked to step in.

“ Bernard Haitink took over the reins at a critical time for our orchestra. Our musicians needed a guardian angel, and divine providence or charmed serendipity blessed us with Maestro Haitink. His personal humility, deep musical conviction, and sincere affection for musicians nourished and fulfilled us. Bernard’s warm embrace made even the most daunting challenges joyful. He exuded such kindness to all.”

unfolded with masterly pacing and unflagging energy. The audience roared with approval.

As was often said of Theodore Thomas, who founded our Orchestra, Haitink looked more like a businessman than a conductor. His demeanor was crisp and efficient, his gestures plain and direct. There were none of the onstage theatrics and choreographic mannerisms that he, like Thomas, knew only got in the way of the music.

That was his secret weapon, and it meant that he could dive straight to the heart of a piece— uncover its emotional temperature, unravel notoriously thorny passages, reveal the message hidden in the most complex of pieces. His honest, unfussy music-making was a welcome counterforce to the fashions that regularly sweep

the music business, and onstage he never lost his belief in the communicative power of a subtly raised eyebrow in a world mad for showmanship.

Whenever he and I sat down for an interview— which in many cases he had politely tried to decline—we laughed at the folly of it, because, as he was quick to point out, he said everything he knew on the podium. He still always had wonderfully insightful ideas to share, because he had spent so much time thinking deeply about the music he conducted, but in a sense he was right: nothing spoke as loudly—as persuasively, as movingly—as the concert he was about to lead. That is why it is the musicians of our Orchestra who knew him best in Chicago (even though his rehearsals were led with a minimum of talking and never degenerated into mere chitchat), and that is why it is their comments, highlighted on these pages, that most vividly recall Bernard Haitink as the master communicator that he was.

Phillip Huscher is the scholar-in-residence and program annotator for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

“ One of my strongest memories of Maestro Haitink was during a tour. We were chatting in an airport, waiting to board, and I told him how much I enjoyed the city we were leaving (which shall remain nameless). Maestro leaned toward me conspiratorially, with a twinkle in his eye, and whispered, ‘These people here, they smile at you while they are stabbing you in the back.’ As someone who had traveled and performed throughout the world, I was struck by his honest opinion that he chose to share with me. That was the essence of Maestro Haitink: straightforward honesty.”

Caring for String Instruments

by Kyle MacMillan

C

enturies-old string instruments by masters such as Antonio Stradivari and Giovanni Battista Guadagnini are both beautiful art objects and complex musical machines that require regular care to remain in top condition. To that end, the string players of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra all have craftsmen known as luthiers whom they depend on for such rarefied maintenance. “Every once in a while,” said Assistant Concertmaster David Taylor, “work has to be done on the instrument, and you have to take it to somebody who is going to be up to the work for something of that standard, age, and value.”

Chicago has several firms capable of adjusting and maintaining top-level instruments, including Carl Becker & Son, John K. Becker & Co., Bein & Fushi, and the Guadagnini Violin Shop—all of which are in the Fine Arts Building, at 410 South Michigan—and Kenneth Warren & Son, Ltd., at 40 North Wells. “We’re really lucky being in a city like Chicago, Boston, or New York. You have access to world-class luthiers, and that’s not the same everywhere, not even in every big city,” said Assistant Principal Cello Kenneth Olsen. He grew up in Albany, New York, and to get high-quality maintenance done on his comparatively inexpensive student cello required a trip to Massachusetts. “Just over the border, but it was still an hour, twenty-minute trip to get to his place, which is not as convenient as walking out of Orchestra Hall and going two blocks south to the Fine Arts Building.”

Sometimes luthiers are called on to do comprehensive restorations or conduct major repairs if an instrument has been involved in a mishap.

Principal Bass Alexander Hanna, for example, plays an eighteenth-century Italian instrument that has been owned by the Orchestra for more than seventy years. In the 1970s, it was damaged when the CSO was on tour and the truck carrying the basses overturned. While some of the instruments were total losses, the bass

10 CSO.ORG

that eventually became Hanna’s was able to be restored.

The biggest repair that Olsen has had to make to his Orchestra-owned Stradivarius cello happened a few years ago when he was performing a chamber-music concert at a summer festival in California. “In the quietest moment of this slow movement of this piece, I thought a gun shot went off or something, and I saw everything on the cello fly apart,” he said. “The strings went flying up, and the bridge fell to the ground.”

He rushed home to get the instrument assessed, and it turned out the damage was not as bad as he initially feared. The tail gut, which was made of Kevlar, had snapped—a highly unusual occurrence. Located at the base of the cello, this critical part anchors the tail piece, which in turn secures the strings. “It ended up not being a major thing to fix once we were back, but it was just the scariest thing that I have had happen,” he said.

Most of the time, though, luthiers conduct routine maintenance and adjustments to the bridge, sound post, or other parts of string instruments that can be affected by travel or severe changes in weather. “Sometimes, after a while, you suddenly feel the sound is not very good,” said Acting Principal Viola Li-Kuo Chang. “The A string is not as resonant as before, and my C string feels a little difficult to play. This is why we have to do this in order to keep the instrument in the best condition, not only physically, but also acoustically.”

In some cases, said Principal Cello John Sharp, it is not so much the sound of the instrument, but the feel that seems off. “As a player, you need a certain comfort, you want it to speak cleanly and clearly, and every instrument is different,” he said. “Some instruments don’t change much with the weather. Some are very sensitive. Everybody feels it. You get very attuned to your instrument. You’re practicing. You’re listening to every little thing.”

David Taylor Assistant Concertmaster The Ling Z. and Michael C. Markovitz Chair For orchestral performances and rehearsals, Taylor plays a 1776 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, given to the Orchestra by former CSO violin Josef Faerber, a member from 1939 until 1986. Taylor owns another Guadagnini violin, a 1752 instrument with the sobriquet Hartman. “My instrument, I keep at home and use only for chamber music and soloing,” he said. When he substitutes as concertmaster and has solos to play, he uses his own violin, which he prefers slightly to his Orchestra-owned instrument.

Li-Kuo Chang Acting Principal Viola The Paul Hindemith Principal Viola Chair, endowed by an anonymous benefactor For all of his duties with the CSO, Chang plays a 1778 viola by Guadagnini, widely considered the greatest maker of stringed instruments, behind Stradivarius and Guarneri. He also owns a 1768–70 viola by the same maker, which he purchased in 1994.

John Sharp Principal Cello The Eloise W. Martin Chair Sharp owns a 1694 cello that was made by Giuseppe Guarneri, father of the most famous member of the celebrated family of violin makers, Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri, del Gesù. “It’s an incredibly beautiful cello to look at, as well as sound-wise,” he said.

DECEMBER 2021–JANUARY 2022 11

Kenneth Olsen Assistant Principal Cello The Adele Gidwitz Chair Like several other CSO members, Olsen plays an instrument owned by the Orchestra—a 1727 cello by Antonio Stradivari and his workshop. The cello has a couple of unusual characteristics, including a scroll that was crafted by another famed maker of the period, Carlo Bergonzi, and a back and sides made of willow. “It’s a little bit on the small side for a cello, and I’m a little on the big side for a person, so it looks a little weird when I’m playing it, but it’s an amazing cello,” Olsen said.

Alexander Hanna Principal Bass The David and Mary Winton Green Principal Bass Chair Hanna owns two double basses of his own, but he primarily performs on an Orchestra-owned instrument by a very fine but unknown Italian maker from the eighteenth century. “It’s very challenging to know the history of basses,” he said. “Few of the great makers made basses, because it wasn’t all that practical.” They could craft multiple small stringed instruments with the same amount of wood and make more money in the process. “But this is an exception, and it is really a phenomenal instrument,” he said.

PARTS AND STANDARD MAINTENANCE S OU ND POST The sound post is a wooden dowel inside the violin that runs between the front and back of the instrument under the bridge. If it is even a millimeter or two out of place, it can affect the instrument’s sound.

BRID GE The wooden bridge, which elevates and supports the strings, can become warped or out of position because of the pressure of the strings, requiring adjustment or replacement.

S E A MS Because of the simple passage of time or the effects of weather, the instrument’s seams can become minutely or, in some cases, noticeably undone and must be reglued.

BODY DAMAGE Sometimes luthiers have to repair ordinary minor nicks in the surface or areas where the varnish has worn thin due to sustained use of the instrument.

FING ER B OAR D The pressing of metal strings into the fingerboard causes it to become grooved and uneven; this condition can cause minute rattling or buzzing, so this part must be planed every few years and ultimately replaced.

Why CSO Horns Choose the Instruments of Steven Lewis

By Kyle MacMillan

A

mateur and student french horn players typically purchase instruments from internationally known manufacturers like Conn-Selmer or Yamaha, but top professionals turn to an elite cadre of twenty or so highly skilled artisans across Europe and the United States. Of those, none is more highly respected than Steven Lewis, who lives and works in the Chicago area.

“His horns have a depth and complexity that a lot of other horns lack,” said Daniel Gingrich, associate principal horn of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, who acquired his first Lewis horn in 2003 and has since purchased a second. “There are lots of horns that are easier to play than Lewis horns, but the trade-off in my mind is in sound quality.”

Striking out on his own more than forty years ago, Lewis has produced 382 horns to date— each with his name engraved on the bell—as well as some 8,000 mutes. Working alone, he made ten instruments a year at his peak, but at seventy-two, the craftsman now fabricates about six instruments a year.

“His horns are like jewelry,” said David Cooper, who became the CSO’s principal horn in July 2019. “It’s absolutely stunning. It’s mind-blowing the amount of care he puts into every piece, every brace.”

Dale Clevenger, the CSO’s much-lauded principal horn from 1966 through 2013, acquired his Lewis horn in 1984, and soon the entire horn section played the local maker’s instruments exclusively, as it still does today, providing an important dimension to the Orchestra’s legendary brass

sound. “None is better than Steve’s horn—none,” Clevenger said.

Cooper met Lewis in 2007, when he had just turned twenty-three. As part of that trip to Chicago, he attended his first CSO concert and was transfixed as he listened to Clevenger on his Lewis horn in Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite.

“I’ll never forget the horn solo that Dale played,” Cooper said. “It just took my breath away. Time stopped. I was transported to another place.”

Describing sound quality can be tricky, but Gingrich said that the sound of some brass instruments seems more hollow and peripheral, whereas Lewis’s horns possess a “very solid core of sound.”

According to Clevenger, that sound quality is “absolutely uniform” across the three-and-a-half octaves that Shostakovich demands of french horn players in his Fifth Symphony. Clevenger especially praised the instruments’ low register, which he calls the “best in the business—period.”

Although Lewis has made eight different models of horns, as well as horn mutes (he also collaborates on another line of horns with a German maker, Dietmar Duerk), he is best known for his Geyer model, based on the design of Carl Geyer (1880–1953), a Chicago craftsman who made more than 1,400 horns. “Steve is the heir or descendant of Carl Geyer,” Gingrich said. “His horns are far more consistent than Geyer’s, but there is some continuity of tradition.”

Lewis’s Geyer model has changed little since 1977, other than small improvements in such areas as the “accuracy” of extruded parts. “I am all about constantly raising the bar and challenging myself to improve,” Lewis said. He recently completed, for example, a three-year study of bell resonance with a colleague in Europe. The

16 CSO.ORG

result is his new Lewis Prism Bell, which gives his horns “freer-blowing, improved intonation.”

Lewis’s horns are made of yellow brass, with nickel silver slides and a medium-sized bell.

“This is all based on my sound concept vis-à-vis my experience with the tradition of the Chicago Symphony and that tradition evolving from middle Europe,” Lewis said.

A key aspect of his horns is the use of the rotary valve. A french horn is actually two horns in one: a low-pitched horn in F for the low register and a B-flat horn for the high register, and a dedicated valve allows a player to switch between the two. For many years, CSO players played horns by C.F. Schmidt of Berlin, with a piston selector valve, which was hard to negotiate. Lewis uses an easier-to-manipulate rotary change valve on his instruments. “What I accomplished with the Lewis horn is to make a horn with a rotary change valve perform much like a Schmidt horn with its piston,” he said.

Lewis long ago secured his place among history’s great makers of french horns, and his legacy will live on through his instruments, which should last a lifetime in the hands of a careful musician. He points out that Clevenger owns a Schmidt horn from 1914 that remains in playing condition. In addition, Lewis’s achievements are preserved in the memories of CSO Brass fans and on every french horn passage recorded in recent decades.

negaunee music institute at the cso The Civic Orchestra of Chicago’s 2021–22 Season The Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the preprofessional training ensemble of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, presents a complete slate of orchestral and chamber music concerts running through June 6.

Its 2021–22 season puts an emphasis on diversity, with an array of works by women and people of color—what Principal Conductor Ken-David Masur described as “normalizing the call to give voice to musicians and composers who perhaps had been neglected.” Like most classical ensembles today, the Civic Orchestra has become more “intentional” about performing music that represents multiple perspectives, said Jonathan McCormick, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s director of education and the Negaunee Music Institute. “That’s the result of a new value system that we have for our programming,” he said.

Nowhere was this enhanced spirit of inclusion more visible than on the opening concert, which included William Grant Still’s Symphony no. 1, Afro- American (1930), the first symphony by an African American composer to be performed by a major U.S. orchestra. Among the other works on the program was An American Port of Call by eighty-year-old African American composer Adolphus Hailstork. “I think it is an exciting new approach to a program that is entirely American music,” McCormick said.

The concert, entitled “Fate Now Conquers,” was led by Thomas Wilkins.

Other notable examples of the Civic’s more diversified programming can be found on January 16 and 18, when it presents Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Something for the Dark (2015), which McCormick called a “meditation on resiliency,” and February 14, when it offers a program entitled “In Times of War” with Overture (1943) by the overlooked Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz. The ensemble’s May 2 concert includes Caught by the Wind (2016) by Jessie

Montgomery, appointed in April as the Chicago Symphony’s Mead Composer-in-Residence.

McCormick emphasized, that while performing contemporary and overlooked works from the past in addition to putting increased emphasis on diversity is critical, the Civic Orchestra cannot overlook its mission as a training ensemble. To that end, its leaders make a point of including established masterpieces that the players will encounter in their careers. Such repertoire staples include Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos (December 6), Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 10 (January 16 and 18), Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra (February 14), and Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony (May 2).

Masur, who holds the Robert Kohl and Clark Pellett Principal Conductor Chair, sees himself as a colleague of the Civic musicians and as their guide. One of his main responsibilities is to create programs that not only help make them better individual musicians but also teach them how to listen, play together, and understand that an orchestra is a “communicative environment.”

“Just mastering your instrument is not enough,” he said. “It has to be in the service of the composer and the people around you.”

e begin in darkness with a Medieval chant written by the twelfth-century, Benedictine abbess Hildegard of Bingen. In addition to seventy-seven original chants with original texts, Hildegard’s extant output includes religious writings, dramatic poetry, medical and scientific works, as well as recorded visions and letters. The amount of surviving works by Hildegard is staggering and demonstrates not only her genius but also the regard with which she was held by her contemporaries. She founded her own convent, took extended preaching tours throughout Germany, and corresponded directly with popes and emperors. As one would expect from such a luminary, Hildegard’s music is completely unique. While sonically similar to Gregorian chant, it is not derived from it. Her melodies are personal reflections on personal visions. The text and the music of “Ave, generosa” exist together; they comment on one another.

The seventeenth-century Advent hymn “O Heiland reiss, die Himmel auf” is a desperate plea for the Savior to “tear open the heavens” and bring salvation down to earth. The familiar chorale tune has been interpreted by many different composers over the years. Our program features three different versions: For the first and fourth verses, we sing a setting by twentiethcentury German composer Hugo Distler. For the second and fifth verses, we sing an arrangement

by Johannes Brahms. And for the third and sixth verses, we perform a new arrangement by the contemporary composer Jonathan Woody.

Renaissance and baroque influences feature in the work of all three composers. Distler’s music, for instance, features long and imitative, but melodically independent, lines. He was influenced by early music from a young age: while studying at the Leipzig Conservatory, he often attended performances at the Thomaskirche, where he heard the music of J.S. Bach and Heinrich Schütz. He also worked for an extended period at the St. Jakobikirche in Lübeck, a church with two Gothic organs, perfect for performing early music. Distler joined the National Socialist German Workers Party in 1933 as a condition

of his continued employment. But even then, his compositions were labeled as “degenerate art” by the Nazi Party. The deaths of friends and disillusionment with his country eventually led him to take his own life in his Berlin apartment in 1942.

While often grouped with other romantics, Johannes Brahms had a keen fondness and reverence for music of the Renaissance and baroque.

As a conductor, he regularly programmed music

by J.S. Bach, Handel, and even Palestrina and Lassus. The influence of these masters is evident in Brahms’s meticulous part writing and voice leading. Carefully wrought fugues and perfect counterpoint are hallmarks of Brahms as much as they are of Bach. Nowhere is this similarity more evident than in the two a cappella motets of op. 74, “Warum is das Licht gegeben dem Mühseligen?” and “O Heiland, reiss die Himmel auf.” “Warum” often gets touted as Brahms’s pinnacle achievement in unaccompanied vocal writing, usually with direct comparisons to the music of J.S. Bach. But “O Heiland, reiss” displays equal amounts of ingenuity and craftsmanship. The two verses we sing in this program are uniquely Brahms: baroque craftsmanship paired with romantic harmonies.

Melding Distler and Brahms together are settings by Jonathan Woody. A “charismatic” and “riveting” (New York Times) bass-baritone and composer living in New York City, his compositions have been performed by the Handel and Haydn Society and Les Délices, and as a soloist he has performed with, among others, the Boston Early Music Festival, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Apollo’s Fire, and the Choir of Trinity Wall Street. Equally at home in early music and contemporary music, Woody composed works that display his familiarity with the old and his fondness for the new.

This year marks the 450th anniversary of the birth of German Renaissance composer Michael Praetorius. His compositional output is extensive, with the vast majority—over 1000 pieces— being settings of Protestant hymn tunes or Latin texts from the Lutheran service of his time.

While always rooted in a German style, his later DECEMBER 2021–JANUARY 2022 29

COMMENTS

works showcase hallmarks of Italian influence, which came from his time in Dresden, where he was exposed to the music of Heinrich Schütz (who himself studied in Venice with none other than Giovanni Gabrieli). These later compositions feature both polychoral and chamber styles, with textures and forces changing throughout a single work. We sing two Advent settings by Praetorius: Martin Luther’s “Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland” followed by “Rorate caeli.”

We then move to a celebration of the birth of Christ with a series of German carols set by Praetorius and another Lutheran Renaissance composer working at the same time, the Berlinbased Johannes Eccard. “Ein kindelein so löbelich” and “Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich” are actually two separate stanzas from the same original song, though they are often set separately. “Resonet in laudibus” is the Latin-text version of the familiar German carol “Joseph lieber, Joseph mein,” and “Psallite” is a macaronic text, featuring both Latin and German depictions of the birth of Christ. Drawing inspiration from Praetorius’s Italian influence, we present these carols with different arrangements of singers, concertato style.

“Es ist ein Ros entsprungen” (Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming) is perhaps Praetorius’s most beloved composition. Its tender melody and simple harmonization capture the sweet innocence and wonder of Christmas. We follow his arrangement of the first verse with a setting of the second verse by Jonathan Woody. His modern take on the timeless melody moves us seamlessly into the third verse, for which we have again chosen a setting by Distler. Distler’s arrangement comes from his extended musical retelling of the Christmas story, Die Weihnachtgeschichte.

He punctuates each crucial step in the story with a different arrangement of “Lo, how a Rose.” While we have chosen only one of those arrangements to sing for you today, you can find a recording of all seven on our holiday album Christmas with Chanticleer, featuring special guest Dawn Upshaw.

“Lo, how a Rose” is the familiar 1894 English translation of “Es ist ein Ros” done by Theodore

Baker. However, there is another common English translation, which Catherine Winkworth created in 1869. Herbert Howells chose this version for his 1919 composition, “A Spotless Rose.”

Already at this early stage in his career, Howells’s distinctive writing style is clear. He combines ancient modal lines with lush twentieth-century harmonies to create works that are both modern and timeless.

We continue to explore the symbolism of the rose with two compositions written specifically for Chanticleer. The first is an arrangement done by our music director emeritus, Joseph H. Jennings, of the traditional German Advent song “Maria durch ein Dornwald ging”—here translated as “Maria wanders through the thorn”— paired with “What child is this?.” Throughout the two songs, Jennings manages to capture both the majesty and the mystery of Christ’s birth. The second composition, “Rose of roses,” is a 2014 commission by the Swedish composer and organist Fredrik Sixten. The rose in this text represents Mary, often worshipped for her generosity, sweetness, and mercy. Sixten instead illustrates Mary’s nobility as the “Lady of ladies, Lord of lords” with a rumbling intensity.

Melissa Dunphy’s “The Elements of the Sun Broke into Song” captures the brightness of Christmas morning and the radiance of a rising sun. The text comes from The Book of the Secrets of Enoch, an ancient apocalyptic text in the Jewish and Christian traditions. In addition to well-deserved accolades for her fine vocal writing, Dunphy has made a name for herself with insightful and political works. Her Gonzales Cantata, based on text taken from the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, landed her an appearance on the Rachel Maddow Show in 2009. In 2011, Chanticleer performed her composition What do you think I fought for at Omaha Beach?, which is based on excerpts from a World War II veteran’s testimony during a public hearing on the Marriage Equality Bill.

We herald the arrival of the new day in Dunphy’s composition with tolling bells on Christmas morning in “Carol of the Bells,”

COMMENTS

arranged by Joseph Joubert and Buryl Red. Joubert and Red are two powerhouses of cross-genre musical virtuosity. Before his death in 2013, Red directed the male chorus the CenturyMen with Joubert as his associate director and accompanist. They both have many compositions, arrangements, and orchestrations to their names. Joubert continues to perform as an accompanist and director, with choirs and soloists, both in churches and on Broadway.

A Portuguese composer of African descent, Vicente Lusitano appears most often in music-history textbooks in connection with an esoteric debate about musical scales. But in addition to his theorizing, Lusitano also composed many pieces of exquisite Renaissance polyphony, and many of these works are just beginning to be rediscovered. “Ave, spes nostra,” Lusitano’s homage to the Virgin Mary, existed only in original, sixteenth-century partbooks until we created a performance edition for this

program, which we have made freely available online at the Choral Public Domain Library.

The reverential, meditative tone of “Ave, spes nostra” pairs perfectly with Franz Biebl’s “Ave Maria,” a piece that has become synonymous with Chanticleer. Every Christmas season, we look forward to sharing this gem with our audiences around the country. Biebl’s setting is actually a version of the “Angelus,” a Catholic devotional prayer, which tells the story of the annunciation and incarnation. The TTBB arrangement we sing in these concerts, as well as two other editions for mixed chorus, are published by Hinshaw Music under the Chanticleer Choral Series label.

Joyous voices sweat and clear, Sing the sad of heart to cheer.

Ding, dong, ding dong, Christmas bells are ringing!

Caroling, caroling, thru the town; Christmas bells are ringing!

Caroling, caroling, up and down; Christmas bells are ringing!

COMMENTS

Mark ye well the song we sing, Gladsome tidings now we bring.

Ding, dong, ding, dong, Christmas bells are ringing!

Caroling, caroling, near and far; Christmas bells are ringing!

Following, following, yonder star; Christmas bells are ringing!

Sing we all this happy morn, “Lo, the King of heav’n is born!”

Ding, dong, ding dong, Christmas bells are ringing!

traditional welsh carol

Deck the Hall (arranged by Gene Puerling) Merry, merry merry Christmas!

Have yourself a merry Christmas!

Deck the hall with boughs of holly!

Fa la la la la la la la la ‘Tis the season to be jolly!

Don we now our gay apparel!

Troll the ancient yuletide carol!

See the blazing yule before us!

Strike the harp and join the chorus!

Follow me in merry measure, While I tell of yuletide treasure!

Fast away the old year passes!

Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!

Sing we joyous all together, Headless of the wind and weather!

I Wonder as I Wander (arranged by Tim Keeler) I wonder as I wander out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die.

For poor ord’n’ry people like you and like I, I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus ‘twas in a cow’s stall, With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.

But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall, And the promise of ages it then did recall.

If Jesus had wanted for any mean thing, A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, Or all of God’s angels in heav’n to sing, He surely could have it, ‘cause he was the King.

Run, Toboggan, Run! Anticipation’s in the air, (Run, toboggan, run!)

The snow is fresh and waiting there; The children chatter and prepare.

(Run, toboggan, run!)

Assemble sweaters, coats, and caps, The mittens, gloves, and fleeces, The scarves and jackets, hats with flaps— With buttons, zippers, clips, and snaps— So many separate pieces!

A vee of geese flies overhead As southward their migration, While armed with snowballs, skates, and sled, The families frolic, noses red, With noisy jubilation.

COMMENTS

Oh, sledding teaches useful skills, Philosophy and science: Respect the steepness of the hills; And try again, despite the spills, To steer with self-reliance.

The safest and most pleasant way Is taking turns and sharing; Help rescue any runaway, And know the risks when you display Outrageous feats of daring.

Find happiness to hold and keep.

The joys of just an hour Become a comfort, strong and deep To help you when the hills are steep With mem’ries’ golden power.

December days are cold and dark (Run toboggan, run!)

In each of us there glows a spark Where joy and hope have left their mark.

Soon Christmas day will come.

(Run, toboggan, run . . .)

Walking in the Air (arranged by Adam Ward) We’re walking in the air, we’re floating in the moonlit sky; The people far below are sleeping as we fly.

I’m holding very tight, I’m riding in the midnight blue, I’m finding I can fly so high above with you.

Far [On] across the world the villages go by like dreams, the rivers and the hills, the forest and the streams . . .

(Please turn the page quietly.)

COMMENTS

Children gaze open-mouthed, taken by surprise; nobody down below believes their eyes!

We’re surfing in the air, we’re swimming in the frozen sky, we’re drifting over icy mountains floating by.

Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep, rousing up a mighty monster from its sleep . . .

We’re walking in the air, we’re dancing in the midnight sky, and everyone who sees us greets us as we fly.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (arranged by Bill Finnegan) Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light, next year all our troubles will be out of sight.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the yuletide gay, next year all our troubles will be miles away.

Once again as in olden days, happy golden days of yore, faithful friends who are dear to us will be near to us once more.

Someday soon we all will be together, if the Fates allow, until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow so have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

traditional spirituals

Christmas Spiritual Medley (arranged by Joseph H. Jennings) There’s a star in the East on Christmas morn.

Rise up, shepherd and follow.

It’ll lead to the place where Christ was born.

Rise up, shepherd and follow.

Leave your sheep and leave your lambs.

Rise up, shepherd and follow.

Leave your ewes and leave your rams.

Rise up, shepherd and follow.

There was no room found in the inn.

It is the star of Bethlehem.

For Him who was born free from sin.

It is the star of Bethlehem.

Everywhere I go, everywhere I go, my Lord Everywhere I go, somebody talkin’ ‘bout Jesus.

They turned away Mary and Joseph from the inn.

Born in a stable in Bethlehem.

Born, born of the Virgin Mary, Born, born on a Christmas morning, Hark the herald angels sing.

Glory to the newborn King.

Go tell it on the mountain.

Over the hills and ev’rywhere, Go tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born!

profiles Chanticleer

Regarded as the world’s leading male chorus, the Grammy Award–winning ensemble Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its wide-ranging repertoire and dazzling virtuosity. Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto, Chanticleer quickly took its place as one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world, selling over one million recordings and performing thousands of live concerts to audiences around the world.

Chanticleer’s repertoire is rooted in the Renaissance, and it has continued to expand to include a wide range of classical, gospel, jazz, and popular music, and holds a deep commitment to the commissioning of new compositions and arrangements. The ensemble has committed much of its vast recording catalog to these commissions, garnering Grammy awards for its

40F NINETY-FIRST SEASON

recording of Sir John Tavener’s Lamentations and Praises and the ambitious collection of commissioned works entitled Colors of Love.

Chanticleer is the recipient of the Dale Warland/ Chorus America Commissioning Award and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming, and its Music Director Emeritus Joseph H. Jennings received the Brazeal Wayne Dennard Award for his contribution to the African American choral tradition during his tenure with Chanticleer.

Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer continues to maintain ambitious programming in its hometown of San Francisco, including a large education and outreach program that recently reached over 8,000 people, and an annual concert series that includes its legendary holiday tradition A Chanticleer Christmas.

Chanticleer is a non-profit organization, governed by a volunteer board of trustees, administered by a professional staff with a fulltime professional ensemble. In addition to the many individual contributors to Chanticleer, the Board of Trustees thanks the following Foundations, Corporations and Government Agencies for their exceptional support: the National Endowment for the Arts, Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation, the Bernard Osher Foundation, the Bob Ross Foundation, and CA Arts and Culture.

PROFILES

Tim Keeler Music Director Tim Keeler, music director, sang as a countertenor in Chanticleer during the 2017–18 season, making him the fourth of its six music directors to have been a member of the ensemble.

Prior to moving to San Francisco, Keeler forged a career as an active conductor, singer, and educator. He performed with New York Polyphony, the Clarion Choir, and Choir of Trinity Wall Street. He also performed frequently as a soloist, appearing regularly in the Bach Vespers series at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in New York City, as well as with TENET, New York’s preeminent early music ensemble. An avid proponent of new and challenging repertoire, Keeler remains a core member of Ekmeles, a vocal ensemble based in New York City and dedicated to contemporary, avant-garde, and infrequently performed vocal repertoire.

While transitioning to his role as music director of Chanticleer, Tim Keeler is in the midst of completing his doctorate in choral conducting

at the University of Maryland where he studies with Dr. Edward Maclary. As an educator, Keeler directed the Men’s Chorus at the University of Maryland, served as director of choirs at the Special Music School High School in Manhattan, and worked closely with the Young People’s Chorus of New York City as a vocal coach and satellite school conductor. He was also the choral conductor for Juilliard’s new Summer Performing Arts program, a two-week intensive summer course in Geneva, Switzerland.

Keeler holds a bachelor’s degree in music from Princeton University with certificates in vocal performance and computer science, a master of philosophy degree in music and science from Cambridge University, and a master’s in choral conducting from the University of Michigan.

While studying with Dr. Jerry Blackstone at the University of Michigan, Keeler served as assistant conductor of the Grammy Award–winning UMS Choral Union, preparing the choir for performances with Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. His dissertation at Cambridge explored statistical methods used in natural language processing and unsupervised machine learning as applied to musical phrase detection and segmentation.
