FROM THE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, When Artistic Director Joshua Habermann shared his 2019 programming, the overarching theme of light jumped out. As we all know, the ever-changing light in New Mexico has inspired photographers such as J. David Levy who has provided our cover art, and painters such as the iconic Georgia O’Keeffe.

We explored Illuminating the Dome in our spring concert, both with a splendid Orthodox music program in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Dallas (TX), and with an inspiring panel discussion presented by faith leaders: Rev. Talitha Arnold, Senior Minister at United Church of Santa Fe, Canon Mark Edw. Childers of The Church of the Holy Faith, and Father John Bethancourt, who hosted the event at the glorious golden-domed Holy Trinity Orthodox Church.

The 2019 Summer Festival, Illumination, features three programs that carry the theme forward: In the Court of the Sun King: Shining a Light on the French Baroque, Luminosity: The Nature of Celestial Light, and “The longenduring pensive moons”: A Bicentenary Celebration of Walt Whitman and Other Esteemed American Poets.

Paul John Rudoi, our 2019 Composer-in-Residence, has scored a work set to Francisco X. Alarçon’s poem Canto for the poetry-focused program – continuing the Desert Chorale’s long-standing commitment to expand the choral canon. Much information on the mainstage concerts, chamber concerts, and ancillary programming in the community is contained in the pages that follow.

Our popular winter program, titled Sacred Fire: The Celtic Tradition, lifts up traditional music from Celtic lands including Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Tickets are on sale for the program, now expanded to ten concerts to meet

Open mouth of my Soul, uttering gladness, Eyes of my Soul, seeing perfection, Natural life of me, faithfully praising things; Corroborating forever the triumph of things…”

Stanzas 1 and 2, “Song at Sunset” from Leaves of Grass -Walt Whitman the ever-growing demand for tickets. Please choose the location that is most convenient for you – Albuquerque, Los Alamos, and both the intimate Cristo Rey Church and the magnificent Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Santa Fe. Of course, none of this programming would be possible without your support. The Board of Directors, staff and – most of all, the artists – are deeply grateful for your enthusiastic attendance at concerts, the dedicated volunteer hours given by Ambassadors, and your generous financial contributions throughout the year. These contributions may be made through many channels: The Desert Chorale Circle, the Commissioning Club, Soundwaves: A Singer Sponsorship Program, the Legacy Circle, and through contributions made by stock transfers, or checks or credit cards using the envelope tucked inside this program book. You may also donate securely online at www.desertchorale.org. These giving programs have been designed to meet your preferences so that you can demonstrate your commitment to the Santa Fe Desert Chorale in a way that is most comfortable for you.

As I enter my fifth summer as Executive Director, I bring this letter of welcome to a close with the words of Walt Whitman, “O setting sun! though the time has come, I still warble under you, if none else does, unmitigated adoration.”

Thank you for joining us, and enjoy the concert!

ABOUT THE SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE Founded in 1982 by Lawrence “Larry” Bandfield, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale is one of the longest continually performing professional music organizations in New Mexico, as well as one of the most distinguished. In his review of the American Voices program, Scott Cantrell of The Dallas Morning News wrote “The variety certainly displayed the ensemble’s impressive versatility.

Habermann consistently got vivid performances, introspective music elegantly colored and shaped, extrovert fare delivered with great pizzazz. Individual singers got lots of solo exposure.”

Now in his eleventh season, Artistic Director Joshua Habermann leads the Chorale in repertoire spanning seven centuries, from early polyphony to contemporary works. The composition of the Chorale is truly national in scope and the ensemble is recognized as one of the finest American chamber choirs. A recent highlight was an invitational appearance at the American Choral Directors Association National Conference, which was later broadcast by Minnesota Public Radio. In the 20172018 season, the Chorale toured to Chicago, Dallas, Fort Worth, Los Angeles, and Oklahoma City, and presented regular winter and summer seasons in New Mexico.

Now in its 37th year, the Desert Chorale summer festival season is a centerpiece of the cultural life of Santa Fe, and among the nation’s most significant choral events.

Throughout its history, the Chorale has maintained a commitment to give voice to music from Hispanic and Native American communities. Dedicated to advancing the composers of our time, the Chorale has commissioned 23 works by 19 composers; three-quarters of the composers commissioned have been American.

In addition, another seven works have been given their world or American premieres by the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. The ensemble performs at historical sites in Santa Fe such as the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and Loretto Chapel, as well as other venues throughout the Southwest.

The Desert Chorale prides itself on its strong relationships within the community of Northern New Mexico, and enjoys collaborations with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Museum of International Folk Art, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, New Mexico History Museum, Performance Santa Fe, Santa Fe Botanical Garden, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Santa Fe Pro Musica, Santa Fe Opera, and Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, among others.

Community Engagement programming partners the Chorale with other musical, artistic, social services, and educational organizations in Santa Fe and on tour. Other important goals include fostering the next generation of singers and arts administrators.

The Chorale’s first commercial release, The Road Home, launched at No. 3 on the Billboard Classical Chart following a sold-out CD launch program in Santa Fe. 2019 SUMMER FESTIVAL 9

The splendor of the Reign of the Sun King, France’s Louis XIV, shimmers throughout this program as the early music specialists in the Santa Fe Desert Chorale shine a light on the French Baroque. Favored at the Palace of Versailles, François Couperin’s Leçons de Ténèbres is a central work on the program that also features compositions by contemporaries Marc-Antoine Charpentier and Jean-Philippe Rameau.

NOTES Louis XIV was France’s longest reigning monarch, ruling an extraordinary 72 years from 1643 to 1715. Under the king’s long patronage sacred and secular music flourished, and an impressive assemblage of musicians was brought in to show off the power and majesty of “the Sun King.”

In today’s program we follow a chronological thread, tracing the development of French Baroque music from its beginnings to its full expression under Louis XIV. To appreciate the status quo ante, we begin our concert with a brief motet by a composer who died the year Louis XIV ascended to the throne. Bouzignac’s Surge Amica Mea, set to a text from the Song of Songs, features short phrases alternating between the high voices, soprano and tenor, and the rest of the choir. Because Bouzignac worked in Provence, he was exposed to foreign influences, especially from neighboring Italy. His incorporation of musical dialogues and melodies set to speech rhythms in the Italian manner planted a seed that would come to full fruition in the oratorios of Marc-Antoine Charpentier some two generations later.

Charpentier, born in the same year Bouzignac died and Louis XIV ascended to the throne, traveled to Italy as a young man. There he studied with Giacomo Carissimi at the Collegio Germanico under the Jesuits, who were committed to defending the Catholic faith against attacks from Protestant reformers. To inspire faith in the people, composers looked for inspiration to opera, then a new fad sweeping Italy. Recognizing the power of music to enhance a story, lives of saints and biblical characters were set to music that was intentionally theatrical. The new form, which became known as oratorio, was designed to appeal directly to the listeners’ emotions, bringing them into a personal connection with dramatic stories of faith, and sometimes great loss and grief.

Carissimi’s Jepthe falls into this latter category, depicting the story of King Jepthe who, in exchange for victory on the battlefield, promises God to make a sacrifice of the first thing he sees upon his return. Tragedy strikes when his only child, a daughter, emerges from the house to welcome him home. Plorate Filii Israel (Weep, Children of Israel) is the lament for her that closes the oratorio.

Cut from a similar cloth, Charpentier’s Reniement de Saint Pierre (Denial of St. Peter), depicts an episode in the Passion of Christ in which the Apostle Peter, after having promised to stand by Jesus, denies knowing him three times. As in Carissimi’s Jepthe, the closing chorus depicts the tragic events with heart-wrenching music that portrays Peter’s struggle to come to terms with his weakness and betrayal.

14 SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE

Music for Holy Week has long been a rich resource for composers. Masterworks written for the services leading up to Easter include Thomas Tallis’ Lamentations of Jeremiah in England, the famous Miserere of Gregorio Allegri in Italy, and in France François Couperin’s Troisième Leçcon de Tenèbres, which is heard on today’s program.

Written for two sopranos and basso continuo, each of the verses begins with a setting of a Hebrew letter, followed by recitative and aria passages of exquisite beauty. We are pleased to feature three Chorale sopranos alternating as soloists in today’s concert.

Litanies written in honor of the Blessed Virgin were an important staple of French sacred music in the Baroque period. Charpentier worked for a time for the noblewoman Mademoiselle de Guise, whose birthday fell on the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin. Charpentier’s Litanies à la Vièrge, H. 83, was written for her, to be performed by the band of musicians that she employed. This group included the composer himself, whose name is written on the hautcontre (high tenor) line in the autograph score.

The musicians in Mme. de Guise’s employ were excellent, and Charpentier goes beyond the 5-voice setting that was typical at the time, writing for a 6-voice choir, two violins, and basso continuo. The Litanies take full advantage of this ensemble, pairing three female voices and three male voices in several trio sections which contrast with the rich sonority of the full ensemble in the repeating “ora pro nobis” refrain.

Fans of French cinema may recognize “Hymne à la Nuit,” which was a featured song in the 2004 film Les Choristes (“The Choir”). The original tune, Ô Nuit, was written by Jean-Philippe Rameau for his 1733 opera Hippolyte et Aricie, and reimagined in this choral arrangement by Joseph Noyon, whose version was popularized in the film.

Born in 1711, just four years before Louis XIV’s death, Jean-Joseph de Mondonville represents the end of the French Baroque. His grand and stately Dominus Regnavit Decorum, from which we hear the opening and closing movements, was written in 1734. Mondonville would go on to the position of Maître de Musique de la Chapelle (Master of Music of the Royal Chapel for Louis XV, and also came to lead the Concert Spirituel, which saw the transition from the baroque to the pre-classical gallant styles of the later 18th-century.

Le Reniement de St. Pierre

(sung in Latin)

The Denial of St. Peter

Cum cœnasset Jesus et dedisset discipulis sui corpus suum ad manducandum et sanguinem suum ad bibendum, exierunt simul in montem Oliveti.

When Jesus had dined and he had given them his body to eat and his blood to drink, they went out together to the mount of Olives.

Tunc dixit illis Jesus: “Omnes vos scandalum patiemini in me in ista nocte. Scriptum est enim: percutiam pastorem et dispergentur oves gregis.”

Jesus said to them: “You will all be offended for my sake, this night. For it is written: I will smite the shepherd and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.”

Respondens autem Petrus ait illi: “Et si omnes scandalisati fuerint in te, numquam ego scandalisabor.”

But Peter, replying, said to him: “Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.”

“Amen dico tibi, Petre, quia in hac nocte antequam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.”

“Verily I say unto thee, Peter, that this night, before the cock crows, thou shalt deny me thrice.”

“Ah Domine! Etiam si opportuerit me mori tecum, non te negabo.” Similiter et omnes discipuli dixerunt: Non te negabimus. Etiam si opportuerint nos mori tecum, non te negabimus.

“Ah! Lord! Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee.” Likewise all the disciples said “We will not deny thee.”

Ecce Judas unus de duodecim venit et cum eo turba multa cum gladiis et fustibus. Irruerunt in Jesum et tenuerunt, quod videntes discipuli ejus fugerunt. Et Petrus extendens manum, exemit gladium suum et percutiens servum Pontificis auriculam ejus amputavit.

Cui dixit Jesus:

Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves ran up to Jesus and held him, and seeing this, the disciples fled. And Peter stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

Jesus said to him:

“Converte, Petre, converte gladium tuum in locum suum.

Calicem quem dedit mihi Pater, non vis ut bibam illum?”

“Peter, put away your sword. Do you not wish me to drink the cup that my Father has given me?” (continued on next page) 2019 SUMMER FESTIVAL 15

Ministri ergo Judæorum comprehenderunt et ligaverunt Jesum et cum duceretur ad principem sacerdotem, sequebatur eum Petrus a longe, usque in atrium Pontifici.

Quem cum vidisset ostiaria dixit ei:

Therefore the soldiers of the Jews took Jesus and bound him and led him to the chief priests. Peter followed at a distance, even to the house of the bishop.

“Numquid et tu ex discipulis hominis istius es?”

“O mulier, non sum, non novi hominem.”

A doorkeeper saw him and said to him: “Are you not also a disciple of that man?” “O woman! I am not.

I do not know him.”

Et introductus est Petrus in domum, cumque sederet ad ignem cum servis et ministris, ut calefaceret se, alia serva sic ait illi: “Et tu cum Jesu Nazareno eras?” “O mulier non eram, non novi hominem.”

And Peter entered the house. As he sat by the fire with the servants and soldiers to warm himself, another servant said to him: “Were you also with Jesus of Nazareth?”

“O woman, I was not! I do not know the man.”

Tunc interrogavit eum cognatus ejus cujus abscidit auriculam, dicens:

Then a relation of the one whose ear he had cut off questioned him:

“Nonne tu galilæus es? Nonne te vidi in horto cum eo?

Vere tu es, tu eras. Nam et loquela tua manifestum te facit. Tu ex discipulis hominis istius es.”

“Non, non sum, vere non eram. Nescio quid dicitis, non novi hominem.”

“Did I not see you in the garden with him? Did you not cut off Malchus’ ear? Surely it was you. Aren’t you a Galilean?

Surely you are. Even your accent gives you away. You are a disciple of that man.” “I am not. Surely I was not. I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Et continuo gallus cantavit. Tunc respexit Jesus Petrum.

Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Jesu, et egressus foras, flevit amare.

And immediately the cock crowed. Then Jesus looked at Peter, and Peter, remembering the words of Jesus, went out and wept bitterly.

-From the Gospel of Matthew

Troisième Leçons de Ténèbres

(sung in Latin)

Third Lesson of Tenebrae

IOD. Manum suam misit hostis ad omnia desiderabilia ejus, quia vidit gentes ingressas sanctuarium suum, de quibus præceperas ne intrarent in ecclesiam tuam.

IOD. The enemy has stretched out his hands over all her precious things; yea, she has seen the nations invade her sanctuary, those whom thou didst forbid to enter thy congregation.

CAPH. Omnis populus ejus gemens, et quærens panem; dederunt pretiosa quæque pro cibo ad refocillandam animam. Vide, Domine, et considera quoniam facta sum vilis.

CAPH. All her people groan as they search for bread; they trade their treasures for food to revive their strength. Look, O Lord, and behold, for I am laid low.

LAMED. O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus! Quoniam vindemiavit me, ut locutus est Dominus, in die iræ furoris sui.

LAMED. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which was brought upon me, which the Lord inflicted on the day of his fierce anger.

MEM. De excelso misit ignem in ossibus meis et erudivit me: Expandit rete pedibus meis: convertit me retrorsum, posuit me desolatam, tota die maerore confectam.

MEM. From on high he sent fire; into my bones he made it descend; he spread a net for my feet; he turned me back; he has left me stunned, powerless all the day long.

NUN. Vigilavit jugum iniquitatum mearum in manu ejus.

Convolutae sunt, et impositae collo meo. Infirmata est virtus mea: dedit me Dominus in manu de qua non potero surgere.

NUN. The yoke of my iniquities is about me: They are folded together in his hand, and put upon my neck. My strength is weakened: The Lord hath delivered me into a trap, out of which I am unable to rise.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem convertere ad Dominum tuum.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, be converted to the Lord thy God.

-From the Lamentations of Jeremiah

Hymne à la Nuit

O Night

(sung in French)

Ô nuit! Qu’il est profond ton silence Quand les étoiles d’or scintillent dans les cieux.

L’ombre qui t’escorte est si douce, Si doux est le concert de tes voix chantant l’espérance, Si grand est ton pouvoir, transformant tout en rêve heureux.

O night! How deep is your silence When golden stars shine in the skies above Your companion shade is so sweet, Gentle is the accord of your voices, singing hope, So great is your power, transforming all into a happy dream.

Ô Nuit! Viens apporter à la terre Le calme enchantement de ton mystère.

L’ombre qui t’escorte est si douce, Est-il une beauté aussi belle que le rêve?

Est-il de vérité plus douce que l’espérance?

O night! Lend to the earth The calm enchantment of your mystery.

Your companion shade is so sweet, Could its beauty be greater than a dream?

Is it truly sweeter still than hope itself?

Ô Nuit! Toi qui fais naître les songes, Calme le malheureux qui souffre en son réduit.

Sois compatissante pour lui, Prolonge son sommeil, prends soin de sa peine, Dissipe sa douleur, ô nuit limpide et sereine.

O night! You who bring give birth to dreams, Comfort the distressed who suffer alone.

Be compassionate towards them, Give them relief, take notice of their pain, Take from them their sorrows, o clear and serene night.

-Édouard Sciortino (1893-1979) after a theme

by Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

Dominus Reganvit

The Lord Reigns

(sung in Latin)

Dominus regnavit, decorem indutus est: Indutus est Dominus fortitudinem, et praecinxit se.

The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty: The Lord is clothed in strength, and has girded himself.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Sicut erat in principio, Et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum, Amen.

Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning Now, and forever, and to the ages of ages, Amen.

NOTES In a nation of illustrious writers such as Longfellow, Poe, Thoreau and Emerson, it is notable that Walt Whitman is universally lauded as the quintessentially American poet.

The historian Mary Smith Whitall Costelloe wrote: “You cannot really understand America without Walt Whitman, without Leaves of Grass…no student of the philosophy of history can do without him.” Ezra Pound said of Whitman “America’s Poet…He is America.” The literary critic Harold Bloom wrote:

rests comfortably in the shade of Whitman’s rejection of dogma and embrace of reverence. The poetry of Langston Hughes speaks directly and compellingly in the settings of William Averitt, whose music incorporates diverse elements of blues, jazz and Latin rhythms, all unified in a uniquely American voice not unlike Whitman’s own.

“If you are American, then Walt Whitman is your imaginative father and mother, even if, like myself, you have never composed a line of verse. You can nominate a fair number of literary works as candidates for the secular Scripture of the United States. They might include Melville’s Moby Dick, Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Emerson’s two series of Essays and The Conduct of Life. None of those, not even Emerson’s, are as central as the first edition of Leaves of Grass.”

Prais’d be the fathomless universe…

For life, and for joy, and for love, sweet love…

Prais’d be the fathomless universe, dance on!

Sing praises for life, joy, love.

Sing praise, life!

Leaves of Grass, a collection that Whitman worked through over the course of his lifetime, is the inspiration for the first four pieces on today’s program. Though the musical settings vary with each composer, there is a through-line of Whitman’s thought, characterized by his all-embracing appetite for life. In “Keep Your Silent, Splendid Sun,” he writes, “give me comrades by the thousands;” in “My Spirit is Uncaged,” he asserts, “It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all times!” In “Something There is Immortal,” he invokes the eternal expanse of the heavens, and the “long-enduring pensive moons” that will shine forever.

If we, as Americans, are Whitman’s children, then the poets that followed him can be considered his literary descendants. Emily Dickinson, e.e. cummings, and even Langston Hughes, architect of the Harlem Renaissance born a decade after Whitman’s death — each of these poets in one way or another stands on the shoulders of Whitman’s verse, writing in an American vernacular that would be unimaginable had not Whitman opened the door to language that was at once inspirational and plain-spoken.

The composers’ musical settings of these poets are as unique as the composers themselves. Tarik O’Regan’s brief Dickinson setting “I Had No Time to Hate,” leads into Jonathan Dove’s intricately-woven lines that incorporate poems of his countrymen Blake and Tennyson alongside hers in The Passing of Year. Eric Whitacre responds to the sparse verse of e.e. cummings with music that is at once individual and universal. His expression of personal faith 22 SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE

TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS Keep Your Splendid, Silent Sun Keep your splendid silent sun; Keep your woods, O Nature, and the quiet places by the woods; Keep your fields of clover and timothy, and your cornfields and orchards; Keep the blossoming buckwheat fields, where the Ninth-month bees hum; Give me faces and streets! give me these phantoms incessant and endless along the trottoirs!

Give me interminable eyes! give me women! give me comrades and lovers by the thousand!

Let me see new ones every day! let me hold new ones by the hand every day!

Give me such shows! give me the streets of Manhattan!

Give me Broadway, with the soldiers marching — give me the sound of the trumpets and drums!

Give me the shores and the wharves heavy-fringed with the black ships!

O such for me! O an intense life! O full to repletion, and varied!

The life of the theater, bar-room, huge hotel, for me!

The saloon of the steamer! the crowded excursion for me! the torch-light procession!

People, endless, streaming, with strong voices, passions, pageants; Manhattan streets, with their powerful throbs, with the beating drums, as now; Manhattan crowds with their turbulent musical chorus with varied chorus and light of the sparkling eyes; Manhattan faces and eyes forever for me.

-Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

My Spirit Is Uncaged O to make the most jubilant song!

Full of manhood, womanhood, infancy!

Full of common employments – full of grain and trees.

O the joy of my spirit – it is uncaged – it darts like lightning!

It is not enough to have this globe or a certain time, I will have thousands of globes and all times.

One’s-Self I sing, a simple separate person;

I celebrate myself, and sing myself; A song of rolling earth, and of words according I sing the body electric; I will sing the song of companionship Come, said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet yet has chanted, Sing me the universal.

-Walt Whitman, Lines selected and arranged by the Composer

Something There Is Immortal On the beach at night, Stands a child with her father, Watching the east, the autumn sky.

Up through the darkness, While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, In black masses spreading, Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky.

From the beach the child holding the hand of her father, Those burial clouds that lower victorious soon to devour all, Watching, silently weeps.

Weep not, child, Weep not, my darling, With these kisses let me remove your tears, The ravening clouds shall not long be victorious, They shall not long possess the sky, They devour the stars only in apparition, Jupiter shall emerge, be patient, Watch again another night, the Pleiades shall emerge, They are immortal, all those stars Both silvery and golden shall shine out again, The great stars and the little ones shall shine out again, they endure, The vast immortal suns and the long-enduring pensive moons shall again shine.

Something there is more immortal even than the stars, Something that shall endure longer even than lustrous Jupiter, Longer than sun or any revolving satellite, Something there is, something immortal.

-Walt Whitman 2019 SUMMER FESTIVAL 23

The Wind’s True Song

I Had No Time to Hate

“Whatever satisfies the soul is truth”

I had no time to hate, because The grave would hinder me, And life was not so ample I Could finish enmity.

Guided by the scent of hope to even meet up with strangers and arrive at yesterday and find ourselves ashore, bathed in future and to see in every face a door open and inviting us in to find solace in memories like bread and water, a bed, the sun and spin each experience into a thread, every moment, every dream, every year, and weave the great cloak of the history of every sigh and to run out, barefoot, into the year’s first rains to embrace tenderness, and offer shade, joy, strength, support like solid, mountain oaks and to flourish like tilled soil, and to be anchor, oar, compass and sea, and sing the wind’s true song with one voice, in the dance of silence --“Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes”

Nor had I time to love, but since Some industry must be, The little toil of love, I thought, Was large enough for me.

-Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

Invocation O Earth, O Earth return!

Ah, Sun-flower!

Ah, Sun-flower! weary of time, Who countest the steps of the Sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller’s journey is done: Where the Youth pined away with desire, And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my Sun-flower wishes to go.

-William Blake (1857-1927)

Oh, ah, mm, (wordless text) “Re-examine all that you have been told…Dismiss that which insults your soul” We’ll only be free when every man and woman, in every home, street, every shade of the human race, everywhere, is truly free

Answer July Answer July – Where is the Bee – Where is the Blush – Where is the Hay?

we’ll only be free when the salmon return up wild rivers, and buffaloes like dark maps roam the open prairies

Ah, said July – Where is the Seed – Where is the Bud – Where is the May – Answer Thee Me –

we’ll only be free when abuse, loneliness, hunger, alienation aren’t words, but forgotten rumors of a far, distant past

Nay – said the May – Show me the Snow – Show me the Bells – Show me the Jay!

we’ll only be free when we become little boys and girls once again who squirm with joy as we explore the marvels, the wonders of the world.

Ring Out, Wild Bells

O Earth, O Earth return!

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

i will wade out

Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace.

-Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers i will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air alive with closed eyes to dash against darkness in the sleeping curves of my body shall enter fingers of smooth mastery with chasteness of sea-girls will i complete the mystery of my flesh i will rise after a thousand years lipping flowers and set my teeth in the silver of the moon -e.e. cummings (1894-1962)

Song for Billie Holiday

But praise! Praise!

For the sure enwinding arms of cool enfolding death Dark mother always gliding near with soft feet Have none chanted for thee a chant of fullest welcome?

Then I chant it for thee, I glorify thee above all, I bring thee a song that when thou must indeed come, Come unfalteringly Approach strong deliv’ress when it is so, When thou hast taken them I joyously sing the dead

What can purge my heart Of the song And the sadness?

What can purge my heart But the song Of the sadness?

What can purge my heart Of the sadness Of the song?

Lost in the loving floating ocean of thee, Laved in the flood, the flood of thy bliss O death

Do not speak of sorrow With dust in her hair, Or bits of dust in eyes A chance wind blows there.

The sorrow that I speak of Is dusted with despair.

From me to thee, glad serenades Dances for thee I propose saluting thee, Adornments and feastings for thee, And the sights of the open landscape and the high-spread sky are fitting And life, and the fields, and the huge and thoughtful night

Voice of muted trumpet, Cold brass in warm air.

Bitter television blurred By sound that shimmers– Where?

Prais’d be the fathomless universe, dance on!

Sing praises for life, joy, love.

Sing praise, life!

-Langston Hughes (1902-1967)

James Whitbourn’s 30-minute work, Luminosity, gives title to the final program in the 2019 Summer Festival. “The word ‘luminosity’ describes the nature of celestial light, and the music of composer James Whitbourn is a celebration of that light — peaceful, radiant, and clear.’’ (NPR’s All Things Considered) Mendelssohn’s Ave Maria, Op. 23 and J.S. Bach’s motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, BWV 226 are followed by the “Santiago” movement from Joby Talbot’s pilgrimage composition Path of Miracles (with movement directed by Nicola Bowie), which completes the audience’s journey.

2019 SUMMER FESTIVAL 29

NOTES Composer James Whitbourn describes Luminosity as a work “centered on the transcendent beauty of creation expressed by luminaries through down the ages.” In texts which he compiled and edited himself, Whitbourn draws on varied sources ranging from ancient Christian wisdom traditions to Zen Buddhism. Just as the texts are a mix of East and West, Whitbourn combines the tanpura, an Indian instrument that emits a constant low drone, with a the most western of instruments: the church organ. Also in the mix are a tam tam (large gong) and a viola, which plays melodic interludes in a Carnatic style associated with South Indian classical music.

The music is divided into seven short sections that connect one to another without break. Over the course of approximately 30 minutes, gentle passages alternate with great waves of sound, inviting the listener into states of joy and ultimately reflective meditation in the closing setting of Julian of Norwich’s words: “…but all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”

J.S. Bach wrote his motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, BWV 226 in October 1729 for the funeral of Johann Heinrich Ernesti, rector of the Thomasschule in Leipzig.

Scored for double chorus, the motet is festive in character, with a first section in lilting 3/8 time in which the choruses pass melodic material back and forth. In the second sections the choruses join together in a double fugue, and a traditional Lutheran chorale closes the work. While it may strike us an unusual that Bach should set such cheerful music for a funeral, we should remember that Bach was no stranger to death, having lost his first wife, as well as ten children before they could reach adulthood.

The “Ave Maria” of Felix Mendelssohn is considered a miniature gem of romantic choral repertoire. Employing an 8-part chorus, including soloists, this brief 8-minute work is characterized by the qualities that made Mendelssohn famous: lyrical melodies, sweet harmonies, and sections of counterpoint that pay homage to the German baroque composers he revered.

Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles was written in 2005 for the British choir Tenebrae. The work depicts the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James), one of the holiest pilgrimage routes in the Catholic faith. Each of the four movements is named for a major waystation on the pilgrimage route; it is the final movement Santiago that we hear in today’s program.

At 19 minutes, Santiago is the longest of the four sections, and depicts the trials of the arduous journey, and ultimately the joyful arrival into the city. Drawing on traditional Latin 30 SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE

texts and new English words by Robert Dickinson, Talbot divides the choir into as many as 16 parts, creating an almost orchestral texture of overlapping musical lines.

Beginning with a single voice describing the final ascent into the mountains, voice upon voice joins in as the pilgrims sense that their goal is near. After a long and intense gathering of energy a great call goes out, the choir singing to St. James in many languages to mark their joyous arrival. The final section is a prayer, set to these stunning words:

…We have walked out of the lives we had and will return to nothing, if we live, changed by the journey, face and soul alike.

We have walked out of our lives to come to where the walls of heaven are thin as a curtain, transparent as glass…

The pilgrims then offer a final hymn as they exit the cathedral, returning to their lives forever transformed.

— Joshua Habermann

TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS I. Lux in Tenebris

I. Light in Darkness

Illuminare. Lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt.

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overpowered it.

-John the Apostle (c.6-c.100)

II. The Changing Scenes

VI. Ask the Beauty

Sixty-six times have these eyes beheld the changing scenes of autumn.

I have said enough about moonlight, ask me no more.

Only listen to the voice of cedars and pines, when no wind stirs.

Ask the beauty of the earth, Ask the beauty of the sea, Ask the beauty of the sky.

-Ryonen, Zen Buddhist nun (b. 1797)

III. Silence Silence is a mystery of the age to come, but words are instruments of this world.

Lux in tenebris lucet.

-Isaac of Nineveh (died ca.700)

Question the order of the stars, The sun whose brightness lights the day.

The moon whose splendor softens the gloom of Night.

Ask the living creatures that move in the waves, Ask the living creatures that roam the earth, Ask the living creatures that fly in the heavens.

Question them and they will answer, “Yes, we are beautiful.”

Their very loveliness is their confession to God: For who made these lovely mutable things, But he who himself is unchangeable beauty?

-Augustine of Hippo (354-430)

IV. The Living Thing He showed me a little thing, the size of a hazelnut, in the palm of my hand, I looked at it with my mind’s eye and thought, ‘What can this be?’

And answer came, ‘It is all that is made.’

I marveled that it could last.

And answer came to my mind, ‘It lasts and ever shall because God loves it.’

And all the things have being through the love of God. -Julian of Norwich (1342-ca. 1416)

VII. All Shall Be Well Because of our good Lord’s tender love to all who shall be saved, He quickly comforts them, saying, “The cause of all this pain in sin.

But all shall be well, and all shall be well, And all manner of things shall be well.”

Alleluia.

-Julian of Norwich (1342-ca. 1416)

V. Castle of Diamonds It came to me that the soul is like a castle, a castle of diamond or other clear crystal.

In this castle are a multitude of dwellings, just as in heaven there are many mansions.

-Teresa of Ávila (1515-1582)

Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf

The Spirit helps us in our weakness

(sung in German) Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, denn wir wissen nicht was wir beten sollen, wie sich’s gebühret; sondern der Geist selbst vertritt uns auf’s beste, mit unaussprechlichem Seufzen.

The Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we know not what we should pray, nor how we ought to pray; but the Spirit pleads for us in the best possible way, with inexpressible sighing.

Der aber die Herzen forschet, der weiss, was des Geistes Sinn sei; denn er vertritt die Heiligen nach dem, das Gott gefället.

But he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit; for the Spirit intercedes with the holy ones according to God’s pleasure.

Du heilige Brunst, süsser Trost, Nun hilf uns, fröhlich und getrost In deinem Dienst beständig bleiben, Die Trübsal uns nicht abtreiben.

You holy fire, sweet consolation, now help us, joyful and consoled, to remain steadfast in your service; let affliction not drive us away.

O Herr, durch dein Kraft uns bereit Und stärk des Fleisches Blödigkeit, Dass wir hie ritterlich ringen, Durch Tod und Leben zu dir dringen.

Alleluia.

O Lord, prepare us by your power and strengthen our feeble flesh, so that we here may gallantly struggle through death and life to reach you.

Alleluia.

-Romans 8: 26-27, and Martin Luther (1483-1546)

Ave Maria (sung in Latin)

Hail Mary

Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus Sancta Maria, ora pro nobis Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae Amen

Santiago The road climbs through changing land, Northern rains fall on the deepening green of the slopes of the valley, Storms break the summer’s heat; At Foncebadon a pass can be lost, in one night, to the snow.

The road climbs for days through the highlands of Bierzo, to the grassland and rocks of the Valcarce valley.

White broom and scrub-oak, laburnum and gorse mark the bare hills beside the road.

At O Cebreiro, mountains.

The road follows the ridgetop by meadows of fern, by fields of rye.

By Fonfria del Camino, by Triacastela, towns are shadows the road leaves behind.

It moves over the slate hills Palas do Rei, Potomarin, the names are shadows.

Then, from the stream at Lavacolla to the foot of Monte de Gozo, a morning; From the foot of Monte de Gozo to the summit the road climbs, Before the longed-for final descent to Santiago.

Herr Santiagu, Grot Sanctiagu, eultreya esuseya Deius aia nos.

Ver redit optatum cum gaudio, flore decoratum purpureo; Aves edunt cantus quam dulciter, cantus est amoenus totaliter.

Jacobo dat parium omnis mundus gratis Ob cuius remedium miles pietatis cunctorum presidium est ad vota satis.

Holy St. James, great St. James, God help us now and evermore.

Longed-for spring returns, with joy, adorned with shining flowers; The birds sing so sweetly, the woods burst into leaf, there is pleasant song on every side The whole world freely gives thanks to James; through his sacrifice, he, the warrior of godliness, is defender of all through prayer

O beate Jacobe virtus nostra vere nobis hostes remove tuos ac tuere Ac devotos adibe nos tibi placere.

O blessed James, truly our strength, take our enemies from us and protect your people, and lead us, your faithful servants, to please you.

Jacobo propicio veniam speramus et quas ex obsequio merito debemus Patri tam eximio dignes laudes demus.

James, let us hope for pardon through your favor, and let us give the worthy praise, which we rightfully owe to so excellent a father.

At the Western edge of the world we pray for our sins to fall from us, as chains from the limbs of penitents.

We have walked out of the lives we had and will return to nothing, if we live, changed by the journey, face and soul alike.

We have walked out of our lives to come to where the walls of heaven are thin as a curtain, transparent as glass, Where the Apostle spoke the holy words, where in death he returned, where God is close, where saints and martyrs mark the road.

Santiago, primus ex apostolis, first among apostles, defender of pilgrims, warrior for truth, take from our backs the burdens of this life, What we have done, who we have been; take them as fire takes the cloth they cast into the sea at Finisterre.

Holy St. James, great St. James, God help us now and evermore.

-Robert Dickinson (b. 1962)

TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS En Sourdine (from Fêtes Galantes, 1st Collection)

Muted

Calmes dans le demi-jour Que les branches hautes font, Pénétrons bien notre amour De ce silence profond.

Calm in the twilight That the high branches make Let our love be penetrated By this profound silence.

Mêlons nos âmes, nos cœurs Et nos sens extasiés, Parmi les vagues langueurs Des pins et des arbousiers.

Let us fuse our souls, our hearts, And our ecstatic senses, Amid the vague languors Of the pines and the arbutus.

Ferme tes yeux à demi, Croise tes bras sur ton sein, Et de ton cœur endormi Chasse à jamais tout dessein.

Close your eyes halfway, Cross your arms on your breast, And from your sleepy heart Chase forever all design.

Laissons-nous persuader Au souffle berceur et doux Qui vient, à tes pieds, rider Les ondes des gazons roux.

Let us be persuaded By the cradling and soft wind That comes to your feet to ripple The waves of russet grass.

Et quand, solennel, le soir Des chênes noirs tombera Voix de notre désespoir, Le rossignol chantera.

And when, solemnly, the evening Falls from the black oaks, Voice of our despair, The nightingale shall sing.

-Paul Verlaine (1844-1896)

Recueillement

Meditation

Sois sage, ô ma Douleur, et tiens-toi plus tranquille.

Tu réclamais le Soir; il descend; le voici: Une atmosphère obscure enveloppe la ville, Aux uns portant la paix, aux autres le souci.

Be wise, o my sorrow, and be quieter; You called for the evening; it descends; here it is!

A gloomy atmosphere envelops the city, To some bringing peace, to others worry.

Pendant que des mortels la multitude vile, Sous le fouet du Plaisir, ce bourreau sans merci, Va cueillir des remords dans la fête servile, Ma Douleur, donne-moi la main; viens par ici,

While the vile multitude of mortals, Under the whip of Pleasure, that executioner without mercy, Goes to gather remorse at the servile feast, My sorrow, give me your hand; come here,

Loin d’eux. Vois se pencher les défuntes Années, Sur les balcons du ciel, en robes surannés; Surgir du fond des eaux le Regret souriant;

Far from them. See the dead Years leaning Over the balconies of the sky, in old fashioned robes; See smiling Regret rising from the depth of the waters,

Le Soleil moribond s’endormir sous une arche, Et, comme un long linceul traînant à l’Orient, Entends, ma chère, entends la douce Nuit qui marche.

And the dying sun going to sleep under an arch; And like a long shroud trailing toward the east, Hear, my dear, hear the gentle night walking.

Colloque Sentimental

Sentimental Colloquy

(from Fêtes Galantes, 2nd Collection) Dans le vieux parc solitaire et glacé, Deux formes ont tout à l’heure passé.

In the old park, solitary and icy, Two forms have just passed by.

Leurs yeux sont morts et leur lèvres sont molles, Et l’on entend à peine leurs paroles.

Their eyes are dead and their lips are slack, And one hardly hears their words.

Dans le vieux parc solitaire et glacé, Deux spectres ont évoqué le passé.

In the old park, solitary and icy, Two forms have just passed by.

Te souvient-il de notre extase ancienne?

Pourquoi voulez-vous donc qu’il m’en souvienne?

“Do you remember our former ecstasy?”

“Why do you want me to remember it?”

Ton cœur bat-il toujours à mon seul nom?

Toujours vois-tu mon âme en rêve? —Non.

“Does your heart still beat merely when hearing my name?

Do you still see my soul in your dreams?” “No.”

Ah! Les beaux jours de bonheur indicible Où nous joignions nos bouches! —C’est possible.

“Ah! The lovely days of inexpressible happiness When we used to join our lips!” “It is possible.”

Qu’il était bleu, le ciel, et grand l’espoir!

L’espoir a fui, vaincu, vers le ciel noir.

“How blue it was, the sky, and how great the hope!”

“Hope has fled, vanquished, toward the black sky.”

Tels ils marchaient dans les avoines folles, Et la nuit seule entendit leurs paroles.

Thus they walked in the wild oat-grass, And only the night heard their words.

-Paul Verlaine

Arianna a Naxos

Arianna in Naxos

Teseo mio ben, dove sei? Dove sei tu?

Vicino d’averti mi parea, ma un lusinghiero sogno fallace m’ingannò.

Già sorge in ciel la rosea Aurora, e l’erbe e i fior colora Febo uscendo dal mar col crine aurato.

Sposo, sposo adorato, dove guidasti il piè Forse le fere ad inseguir ti chiama il tuo nobile ardor.

Ah vieni, ah vieni, o caro, ed offrirò più grata preda ai tuoi lacci.

Il cor d’Arianna amante, che t’adora costante, stringi, stringi con nodo più tenace, e più bella la face splenda del nostro amor.

Soffrir non posso d’esser da te divisa un sol istante.

Ah di vederti, o caro, già mi strugge il desio; ti sospira il mio cor, vieni, vieni idol mio.

Theseus, my love! Where are you?

I thought you were beside me, But it was only a sweet, false dream.

The rosy dawn rises in the sky Pheobus tinges grass and flowers As he rises, golden, from the sea.

Dear husband! Where are you?

Perhaps the chase has called, Tempting your brave spirit!

Oh, come, my love And find a sweeter prey for your snares.

Ariadne’s loving heart, constant and adoring, Binds with ever tighter bonds And our radiant flame burns brightly with our love.

I cannot be separated from you for a single moment Ah! I am seized, my love, with the desire to see you My heart sighs for you. Come, my beloved idol!

Dove sei, mio bel tesoro, chi t’invola a questo cor?

Se non vieni, io già mi moro, né resisto al mio dolor.

Where are you my sweet treasure?

Who tore you from my breast?

If you do not come, I shall die, I cannot bear such grief.

(continued on next page) 2019 SUMMER FESTIVAL 37

Se pietade avete, oh Dei, secondate i voti miei, a me torni il caro ben.

Dove sei? Teseo!

Dove sei?

If you are merciful, oh gods, hear my prayer, And send my beloved back to me.

Where are you? Theseus!

Where are you?

Ma, a chi parlo? Gli accenti Eco ripete sol.

Teseo non m’ode, Teseo non mi risponde, e portano le voci e l’aure e l’onde.

Poco da me lontano esser egli dovria.

Salgasi quello che più d’ogni altro s’alza alpestre scoglio; ivi lo scoprirò.

Che miro? Oh stelle, misera me, quest’ è l’argivo legno!

Greci son quelli!

Teseo! Ei sulla prora!

Ah m’ingannassi almen ... no, no, non m’inganno.

Ei fugge, ei qui mi lascia in abbandono.

Più speranza non v’è, tradita io sono.

But, to whom do I speak? Echo alone repeats my words.

Theseus neither hears nor responds Winds and waves silence my voice.

He cannot be far away from me.

If I climb that cliff that rises above the rest, I shall see him from there.

What is this? Alas! Woe is me!

That is the Argive ship!

Those men are Greeks!

Theseus! He is at the prow!

Oh, I may be mistaken...

No! There is no mistake.

He flees, and leaves me behind, abandoned.

All hope is gone, I am betrayed.

Teseo, Teseo, m’ascolta, Teseo!

Ma oimè! vaneggio!

I flutti e il vento lo involano per sempre agli occhi miei.

Ah siete ingiusti, o Dei, se l’empio non punite! Ingrato!

Perchè ti trassi dalla morte dunque tu dovevi tradirmi!

E le promesse, e i giuramenti tuoi?

Spergiuro, infido! hai cor di lasciarmi.

A chi mi volgo, da chi pietà sperar?

Già più non reggo, il piè vacilla, e in così amaro istante sento mancarmi in sen l’alma tremante.

Theseus! Hear me!

But alas, I shall go mad!

He is swallowed by wave and wind Forever before my very eyes.

Oh! Gods, you are unjust If you do not punish the traitor! Ungrateful man!

Why ever did I bother to save your life?

For you to betray me?

And your promises? Your vows?

Faithless one! Deceiver! Have you the heart to leave me?

To whom shall I turn?

From whom seek compassion? cannot stand, my knees tremble And the bitterness of this wretched moment Makes my heart quiver in my breast.

A che morir vorrei in sì fatal momento, ma al mio crudel tormento mi serba ingiusto il ciel.

Misera abbandonata non ho chi mi consola.

Chi tanto amai s’invola barbaro ed infedel.

Oh! Would that death might come in this dreadful hour But heaven cruelly decrees My continued suffering.

Poor abandoned one, with no one to console her, My beloved has fled, cruel and disloyal.

Dover Beach The sea is calm tonight.

The tide is full, the moon lies fair Upon the straits; on the French coast the light Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay.

Come to the window, sweet is the night-air!

Only, from the long line of spray Where the sea meets the moon-blanched land, Listen! you hear the grating roar Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, At their return, up the high strand, Begin, and cease, and then again begin, With tremulous cadence slow, and bring The eternal note of sadness in.

Sophocles long ago Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow Of human misery; we Find also in the sound a thought, Hearing it by this distant northern sea.

Stabat Mater Cujus animam gementem Cuius ánimam geméntem, contristátam et doléntem pertransívit gládius.

O quam tristis et afflícta fuit illa benedícta, mater Unigéniti!

Vidit suum dulcem natum Vidit suum dulcem Natum moriéndo desolátum, dum emísit spíritum.

Quando corpus morietur Quando corpus moriétur, fac, ut ánimæ donétur paradísi glória.

Amen.

The Sea of Faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.

But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world.

Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; And we are here as on a darkling plain Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.

-Mathew Arnold (1822-1888)

Stabat Mater Through her heart, His sorrow sharing Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, all His bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has passed.

O how sad and sore distressed was that Mother, highly blest, of the sole-begotten One. She beheld her tender Child She beheld her tender Child, Saw Him hang in desolation, Till His spirit forth He sent.

While my body here decays While my body here decays, may my soul Thy goodness praise, Safe in Paradise with Thee.

Amen.

– Jacopone de Todi (ca. 1230-1306) Translation by Edward Caswall, Lyra Catholica (1849)

Gracieux fils de Pan! Autour de ton front couronné de fleurettes et de baies, tes yeux, des boules précieuses, remuent. Tachées de lies brunes, tes joues se creusent. Tes crocs luisent. Ta poitrine ressemble à une cithare, des tintements circulent dans tes bras blonds. Ton cœur bat dans ce ventre où dort le double sexe. Promène-toi, la nuit, en mouvant doucement cette cuisse, cette seconde cuisse et cette jambe de gauche.

Gracious child of Pan! Around your brow, crowned by tiny flowers and berries, your eyes - precious globes - stir. Stained by brown dregs, your cheeks are hollowed. Your fangs glisten. Your bosom resembles a zither, its chiming spreading about in your fair arms. Your heart beats in that belly where the double sex sleeps. Walk in the night, moving gently this thigh, that other thigh, and that left leg.

Un beau matin, chez un peuple fort doux, un homme et une femme superbes criaient sur la place publique: “Mes amis, je veux qu’elle soit reine!” “Je veux être reine!” Elle riait et tremblait. Il parlait aux amis de révélation, d’épreuve terminée. Ils se pâmaient l’un contre l’autre.

En effet ils furent rois toute une matinée où les tentures carminées se relevèrent sur les maisons, et toute l’après-midi, où ils s’avancèrent du côté des jardinsde palmes.

A beautiful morning, among a most gentle people, a superb man and woman, cry out in a public square: “My friends, I wish to make her your queen!”

“I wish to be your queen!,” she cries, and trembles. He speaks to his friends of revelation, of finished ordeals.

They swoon, one against the other.

Indeed, they were kings all that morning while the crimson hangings went up on the houses, and all that afternoon, when they advanced toward the coast through gardens of palms.

Des drôles très solides. Plusieurs ont exploité vos mondes.

Sans besoins, et peu pressés de mettre en œuvre leurs brillantes facultés et leur expérience de vos consciences.

Quels hommes mûrs! Des yeux hébétés à la façon de la nuit d’été, rouges et noirs, tricolorés, d’acier piqué d’étoiles d’or; des facies déformés, plombés, blêmis, incendiés; des enrouements folâtres! La démarche cruelle des oripeaux! Il y a quelques jeunes…

What sturdy odd fellows. Several have exploited your worlds. Without needs, and little concerned with putting their brilliant minds and their experience of your consciences to work. What mature men! Dazed eyes like a summer night, red and black, tri-colored, steel dotted with golden stars; deformed features, leaden, made pale, made to burn; their foolish cries! The cruel walk of rags! There are some young ones. . . .

O le plus violent Paradis de la grimace enragée!…

Chinois, Hottentots, bohémiens, niais, hyènes, Molochs, vieilles démences, démons sinistres, ils mêlent les tours populaires, maternels, avec les poses et les tendresses bestiales. Ils interpréteraient des pièces nouvelles et des chansons “bonnes filles.”

Chinese, Hottentots, Bohemians, deniers, hyenas, Molochs, old demented ones, sinister demons, they mix popular and maternal tricks with bestial poses and tenderness. They interpreted new plays and - nice girl - songs.

Down By The Sally Gardens

Sleep Now, O Sleep Now

Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet; She passed the salley gardens with little snow-white feet.

She bid me take love easy, as the leaves grow on the tree; But I, being young and foolish, with her would not agree.

In a field by the river my love and I did stand, And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.

She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs; But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.

Sleep now, O sleep now, O you unquiet heart!

A voice crying “Sleep now” Is heard in my heart.

-William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

Rain Has Fallen All the Day Rain has fallen all the day.

O come among the laden trees: The leaves lie thick upon the way Of mem’ries.

The voice of the winter Is heard at the door.

O sleep, for the winter Is crying “Sleep no more.”

My kiss will give peace now And quiet to your heart – Sleep on in peace now, O you unquiet heart!

-James Joyce

Staying a little by the way Of mem’ries shall we depart.Come, my beloved, where I may Speak to your heart.

I Hear An Army I hear an army charging upon the land, And the thunder of horses plunging, foam about their knees: Arrogant, in black armour, behind them stand, Disdaining the reins, with flutt’ring whips, the charioteers They cry unto the night their battlename: I moan in sleep when I hear afar their whirling laughter.

They cleave the gloom of dreams, a blinding flame, Clanging, clanging upon the heart as upon an anvil.

They come shaking in triumph their long, green hair: They come out of the sea and run shouting by the shore.

My heart, have you no wisdom thus to despair?

My love, my love, why have you left me alone?

Mein Herz ist stumm, Op. 19, no. 6

My Heart is silent, Op. 19, no. 6

Mein Herz ist stumm, Mein Herz ist kalt, Erstarrt in des Winters Eise; Bisweilen in seiner Tiefe nur wallt Ung zittert und regt sich’s leise, leise.

Dann ist’s, als ob ein mildes Tau’n Die Decke des Frostes breche; Durch grünende Wälder, bluhende Au’n Murmeln von neuem die Bäche.

Ung Hörnerklang, von Blatt zu Blatt Vom Frühlingswinde getragen, Dringt aus den Schluchten Ann’s Ohr mir matt, Wie ein Ruf aus seligen Tagen.

Doch das alternde Herz wird jung nicht mehr, Das Echo, sterbenden Schalls Tönt ferner, immer ferner her, Und wieder erstarrt liegt alles, Mein Herz ist stumm, Mein Herz ist kalt.

My heart is silent, my heart is cold, Numbed by their winter’s ice; At times, in its depths, it stirs And trembles and moves softly, softly Then it seems as if a mid thaw Breaks through the layer of ice; Through the green forests, the blossoming meadows, The brooks murmur once again.

And the sound of the horn, from leaf to leaf Carried by the spring wind, Up from the valley, faintly touches my ear, Like a call from the blissful past.

Yet the aging heart will never be more young; The echo of the dying sound Grows fainter and fainter, And again all is benumbed, My heart is silent, my heart is cold.

-Adolf Friedrich, Graf von Schack (1815-1894)

There came whisperings in the wings There came whisperings in the winds: “Goodbye! Goodbye!”

Little voices called in the darkness: “Goodbye! Goodbye!”

Then I stretched forth my arms.

“No, no!”

Ang natutuwang baliw yaman ay pinagyabang Dahil ari niya raw ang araw pati ang buwan May isang sa yaman ay salapi ang hinihigan Ngunit ang gintong baul panay kasalanan ang laman Sinasambit ng baliw awit na walang laman Ulo mo’y maiiling tatawagin mong hangal May isang hindi baliw, iba ang awit na alam Buong araw kung magdasal, sinungaling rin naman

The mad man boasts of his riches thinking he owns the sun and moon He is one too wealthy so as to lay on his riches though his golden chest is but full of sin The mad man sings out loud, a meaningless song it’ll make you shake your head and call him crazy There’s a wise man who sings of another song Prays the whole day, and yet lies to no end

A Song for St. Cecilia’s Day ALL SING GRAND CHORUS: As from the pow’r of sacred lays The spheres began to move, Ans sund the great Creator’s praise To all the bless’d above; So when the last and dreadful hour This crumbling pageant shall devour, The trumpet shall be heard on high, The dead shall live, the living die, And music shall untune the sky.

From harmony, from Heav’nly harmony This universal frame began.

When Nature underneath a heap

Of jarring atoms lay, And could not heave her head, The tuneful voice was heard from high, Arise ye more than dead.

Then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry, In order to their stations leap, And music’s pow’r obey.

From harmony, from Heav’nly harmony This universal frame began: From harmony to harmony Through all the compass of the notes it ran, The diapason closing full in man.

What passion cannot music raise and quell!

When Jubal struck the corded shell, His list’ning brethren stood around And wondering, on their faces fell To worship that celestial sound: Less than a god they thought there could not dwell Within the hollow of that shell.

That spoke so sweetly and so well.

What passion cannot music raise and quell!

Sharp violins proclaim Their jealous pangs, and desperations, Fury, frantic indignation, Depth of pains and height of passion, For the fair, disdainful dame.

But oh! What art can teach What human voice can reach The sacred organ’s praise?

Notes inspiring holy love, Notes that wing their Heav’nly ways To mend the choirs above.

The trumpets loud clangor Excites us to arms With shrill notes or anger And mortal alarms.

The double double double beat Of the thund’ring drum Cries, hark the foes come; Charge, charge, ‘tis too late to retreat.

Orpheus could lead the savage race; And tress unrooted left their place; Sequacious of the lyre: But bright Cecilia rais’d the wonder high’r; When to her organ, vocal breath was given An angel heard, and straight appear’d Mistaking earth for Heav’n.

The soft complaining flute In dying notes discovers The woes of hopeless lovers, Whose dirge is whisper’d by the warbling lute.

illumination DIRECTOR

JOSHUA HABERMANN Photo: Gittings, Courtesy of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra

Joshua Habermann, Artistic Director, is in his eleventh season with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. Since joining the Chorale he has raised the ensemble’s artistic profile and broadened its programming to include choral-orchestral masterworks as well as cutting-edge a cappella programs.

Having joined the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in 2011, Joshua Habermann has held the Jean D. Wilson Chorus Director Chair since 2015. As Director, he prepares the 200-voice chorus for classical and pops series concerts.

Highlights with the DSO include performances of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion BWV 244, Verdi’s Requiem, Berlioz’ Te Deum Op. 22, and Britten’s War Requiem Op. 66, which was performed for the national meeting of the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) in 2013.

In demand for honors choirs, choral festivals, choral institutes, and workshops worldwide, recently Joshua Habermann traveled to Thailand for an eight-day residency under the auspices of ACDA Abroad, which is an initiative through which choral leaders lead workshops and training courses in the developing world. Hosted by the Thai Ministry of Education, this was his first return to Thailand where he was an English teacher (1990-1991).

From 2008 to 2011 Joshua Habermann was Director of Choral Studies at the University of Miami Frost School of Music, where he led the graduate program in conducting and directed the Frost Chorale. Notable projects in Miami included an appearance at the Florida Chapter of the American Choral Directors Association convention, and collaborations with the New World Symphony and conductor Michael Tilson Thomas in music of Ives, Schubert, and Beethoven. During this same period, Joshua Habermann led the Master Chorale of South Florida in performances of masterworks such as Mendelssohn’s Elijah, Op. 70, Haydn’s Creation Hob. XX1: 2, and Mozart’s Requiem in D minor, K. 626.

From 1996-2008 he was Assistant Conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, and Professor of Music at San Francisco State University, where under his direction the SFSU Chamber Singers undertook international engagements in Havana, Cuba, and concert tours in Germany, the Czech Republic, and China. In 2006 he led a collaboration between the SFSU Chamber Singers and the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Méditerranée in music of Poulenc and the Requiem Op. 9 of Maurice Duruflé in concerts throughout France. National invitations include the Waging Peace Festival in Eugene (OR), multiple appearances at the California Music Educators Convention, and appearances at several American Choral Directors Association regional conventions.

As a singer (tenor) he has performed with the Oregon Bach Festival Chorus (Eugene, OR) and Conspirare (Austin, TX).

Recording credits include three projects with Conspirare: Through the Green Fuse; Requiem, Op. 9, a GRAMMY® Nominee for “Best Choral Recording” in 2006; and Threshold of Night, a GRAMMY® Nominee for “Best Choral Recording” and “Best Classical Album” in 2009.

Joshua Habermann conducted the Santa Fe Desert Chorale’s recording, The Road Home, released in 2018 at No. 3 on the Billboard Classical Chart.

A native of California, Joshua Habermann is a graduate of Georgetown University and the University of Texas at Austin, where he completed doctoral studies in conducting with Craig Hella Johnson. He lives in Dallas with his wife Joanna, daughter Kira, and son Kai.

Legacy Circle Watercolor painting: Aija Jundi

The Santa Fe Desert Chorale

honors the rich choral tradition extending over five centuries in its concert performances and expands the choral canon by commissioning new works by leading composers of today. In the same spirit, by including the Santa Fe Desert Chorale in their estate planning, members of the Legacy Circle honor the history and accomplishments of the Chorale over the past four decades by providing a secure mesa from which the Chorale will continue to ascend to new heights in the future.

Ways to Give to the Legacy Circle

Many donors make a Legacy Gift by naming the Santa Fe Desert Chorale as a beneficiary on their life insurance policies, retirement plans, or other forms of gifts.

Legacy Giving may be included in your will or trusts and be specified as revocable or irrevocable.

Many donors have expressed interest in using Charitable Gift Annuities. This type of annuity involves an irrevocable transfer of cash or other assets, and provides an income stream to the designated annuitants during their lifetime. At death, the Chorale receives the remainder of the gift.

WhyJoin the Legacy Circle?

Legacy Giving supports the mission of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, one of the nation’s premier professional vocal ensembles, which is to excite, engage, and inspire diverse audiences with the beauty and power of great choral music.

Legacy Giving demonstrates your personal interest and commitment to the Chorale. It evidences those values and priorities to your family and to your community.

Legacy Giving can benefit your spouse or partner, children, grandchildren or others for whom you care, as well as the Chorale.

Legacy Giving comes from donors of different interests and income levels. For many, there are income and estate tax benefits which result from these gifts.

Legacy Giving supports the Chorale as do gifts during your lifetime, potentially at an even higher level and well into the future.

Members of The Legacy Circle are recognized in our season program books, on our website, and included in other donor listings.

Members retain control of assets during their lifetime.

Most Legacy Gifts can be modified at any time.

Most important, you will have your own reasons for joining the Legacy Circle and gain satisfaction in doing so.

There are many ways to make your Legacy Gift. We are ready to talk with you about your charitable goals and the planned giving vehicles which might best fulfill those goals. We also recommend you consult with your estate planning and investment advisors.
