WELCOME FROM THE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Photo: Steve Sherman

Dear Friends, Twenty years ago in The Unanswered Question: Six Talks at Harvard, Leonard Bernstein said that “music, because of its specific and far-reaching metaphorical powers, can name the unnamable and communicate the unknowable.”

The Santa Fe Desert Chorale’s 2018 Summer Festival programming and the journey that Joshua Habermann has designed for our audiences, affirm his assertion.

In the Bernstein, Bolcom, and Barber: Twentieth Century American Masters program, we gain an understanding of “what makes American music, American.” In the Sure on this Shining Night program, Morten J. Lauridsen, Jake Runestad, and Aaron Copland’s compositions evoke the beauty of the natural world and charge us with responsibility for stewardship of the environment. Our collaboration with Caminos del Inka, Inc. examines music of the “New World,” tracing its migration from Spain and Africa through the Caribbean, into the six countries that border the Inca Trail, and on through Central America, Mexico, and into New Mexico. Images culled from the Caminos del Inka archive in Peru will offer insight into how a sense of place influences music and art.

Over the past year, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale has been on its own remarkable journey, as we celebrated our 35th anniversary with important milestones: • The Chorale’s first commercial recording, The Road Home, launched here in Santa Fe, appeared at No. 3 on the Classical and Classical Crossover Billboard Charts. (Our “Hot Shot Debut” album followed John Williams’ soundtrack for the blockbuster film: Star Wars: The Last Jedi in the No. 1 spot!)

• Near capacity audiences in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City welcomed the Chorale in its regional debut performances. Building on that success, the Chorale will return to Dallas in the spring of 2019.

• Standing ovations at the American Choral Directors Regional Conferences in Chicago (IL) and Pasadena (CA) signaled the approval of our peer ensembles in these sold-out performances.

• Community Engagement initiatives continue to connect the Santa Fe Desert Chorale with the community in Northern New Mexico. Of particular note are weekly choral workshops at the Interfaith Community Shelter sponsored by CHRISTUS St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, with additional support from the Mission and Outreach Committee of The Church of the Holy Faith as an “alternative wellness program.” The annual multi-generational community sing for avocational singers, Santa Fe Sings!, generously sponsored by Stephen and Jane Hochberg and hosted by Rev. Talitha Arnold at United Church of Santa Fe, reached nearly 200 participants.

• Partnerships with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Museum of International Folk Art, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art, New Mexico History Museum, the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club, and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden, expand our reach and benefit all of the participating organizations.

Support of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale’s programs from government at all levels, foundations, businesses, and especially individuals continues to increase. We are truly grateful for your invaluable contributions, as they help to make Santa Fe — as Bernstein’s Candide says — “the best of all possible worlds.”

With gratitude for your support and all best wishes for a memorable 2018 Summer Festival,

Janice L. Mayer

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 tenth 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 among 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 2017-2018 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 36th 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. The Chorale’s first commercial release, The Road Home, launched at No. 3 on the Billboard Classical Chart this spring, following a sold-out CD Launch program here in Santa Fe.

SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, one of the nation’s premier professional vocal ensembles, is to excite, engage, and inspire diverse audiences with the beauty and power of great choral music.

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, Interfaith Community Shelter, 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 and fostering the next generation of singers and arts administrators are integral parts of the Chorale’s mission.

PROGRAM Note We all know that opera and musical theater are a somewhat reluctant set of fraternal twins, but upon reasonably close inspection, these two art forms are much more alike than different. In fact, in the brilliant hands of a select few, the lines often blur to the point of nonexistence. Musicals, according to the most typically drawn distinctions, have a greater reliance on spoken dialogue, dance and lighter, more “popular” melodies. It is interesting that all of these elements, and many others associated specifically with Broadway, can also be found in opera (see the works of Mozart, Bizet, many others).

They are twins indeed, reluctant or not. So, the bulk of tonight’s program explores the distinct compositional voice of Leonard Bernstein, a voice where this blending of high art and entertainment happened so easily and with a style that has never been matched, before or since.

The Golden Age of the musical occurred in New York City during the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, and Leonard Bernstein defined the period with three legendary shows.

On the Town (1944), Wonderful Town (1953), and the incomparable West Side Story (1957) captured New York City’s multifarious soul and settled Bernstein’s reputation as one of America’s preeminent stage music luminaries.

Many of the songs Bernstein created during that time (like “I Feel Pretty” and “Tonight” from West Side Story) enjoy a timeless popularity of the sort reserved only for the most accomplished masterpieces of vocal art.

He wasn’t finished though. Bernstein wrote his groundbreaking Mass in 1971, and among the most memorable moments in that revolutionary score is “A Simple Song.”

Mass didn’t do so well with critics, but it has enjoyed many revivals in recent years. Later, in 1976, Bernstein attempted to comment on race relations in the context of White House history with 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but again failed to create another hit. Though the whole did not succeed, parts like “Take Care of this House” still resonate today.

In an example of the aforementioned line-blurring, Bernstein called Candide (1956) a comic operetta even though it was premiered on Broadway. Based on a Voltaire novella, the work was not as immediately successful as his musicals of the same vintage. Regular revision and timely revival would eventually set things right and Candide is now a legitimate member of the composer’s canon. Also built from literary material (at least originally) and not ultimately meant for

the Broadway stage was the Missa Brevis. Intended as incidental music for The Lark by Lillian Hellman in 1955, these delightful choral anachronisms were collected into their present form at the suggestion of Robert Shaw in 1988. They display yet another aspect of Bernstein’s virtuosity and his ability to make old forms sound fresh and new.

Samuel Barber found inspiration in the written word as well, particularly in words written by Irish poet James Stephens, a favorite of the composer. Reincarnations is based on a work by Stephens that bears the same name, in which the author had taken a few older Gaelic works of Raftery and given them a “rebirth” as modern poems. The first of the three madrigals was performed at the Curtis Institute in 1938, but the complete set did not premiere as a single work until 1949.

In May-Day (2003), composer William Bolcom created an anthem for the Ralph Waldo Emerson Bicentennial in Boston. The text comes from Emerson’s 1867 ode to springtime but the lines were likely composed over the course of many years.

Reincarnations MARY HINES

THE COOLIN

She is the sky of the sun!

She is the dart of love!

She is the love of my heart!

She is a rune!

She is above the women of the race of Eve As the sun is above the moon!

Come with me, under my coat, and we will drink our fill of the milk of the white goat, or wine if it be thy will.

Lovely and airy the view from the hill that looks down Ballylea!

But no good sight is good, until by great good luck you see the blossom of branches walking towards you, airily.

ANTHONY O’DALY Anthony!

Since your limbs were laid out the stars do not shine!

The fish leap not out in the waves!

On our meadows the dew does not fall in the morn, for O’Daly is dead!

Not a flow’r can be born!

Not a word can be said!

Not a tree have a leaf!

On our meadows the dew does not fall in the morn, for O’Daly is dead!

Anthony! After you there is nothing to do!

There is nothing but grief!

16 2018 SUMMER FESTIVAL

And we will talk, until talk is a trouble too, out on the side of the hill; And nothing is left to do, but an eye to look into an eye, and a hand in a hand to slip; and a sigh to answer a sigh; And a lip to find out a lip!

What if the night be black!

And the air on the mountain chill!

Where the goat lies down in her track And all but the fern is still!

Stay with me, under my coat! and we will drink our fill of the milk of the white goat, out on the side of the hill!

-James Stephens (1825-1901) after the Irish of Raftery

May Day Daughter of Heaven and Earth, coy Spring, With sudden passion languishing, Teaching barren moors to smile, Painting pictures mile on mile, Holds a cup with cowslip-wreaths, Whence a smokeless incense breathes.

Come the tumult whence it will, Voice of sport, or rush of wings, It is a sound, it is a token That the marble sleep is broken, And a change has passed on things.

April cold with dripping rain Willows and lilacs brings again, The whistle of returning birds, And trumpet-lowing of the herds.

The scarlet maple-keys betray What potent blood hath modest May; What fiery force the earth renews, The wealth of forms, the flush of hues; What joy in rosy waves outpoured Flows from the heart of love, the Lord.

The million-handed sculptor molds Quaintest bud and blossom folds, The million-handed painter pours Opal hues and purple dye; Azaleas flush the island floors, And the tints of heaven reply.

Best gems of Nature’s cabinet, With dews of tropic morning wet, Beloved of children, bards, and Spring, O birds, your perfect virtues bring, Your song, your forms, your rhythmic flight, Your manners for the heart’s delight, Nestle in hedge, or barn, or roof, Here weave your chamber weather-proof, Forgive our harms, and condescend To man, as to a lubber friend, And, generous, teach his awkward race Courage, and probity, and grace!

Cleanse the torrent at the fountain, Purge alpine air by towns defiled, Bring to fair mother fairer child, Not less renew the heart and brain, Scatter the sloth, wash out the stain, Make the aged eye sun-clear, To parting soul bring grandeur near.

Under gentle types, my Spring Masks the might of Nature’s king, An energy that searches thorough From Chaos to the dawning morrow; Into all our human plight, The soul’s pilgrimage and flight; In city or in solitude, Step by step, lifts bad to good, Without halting, without rest, Lifting Better up to Best; Planting seeds of knowledge pure, Through earth to ripen, through heaven endure.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

Take Care of This House Take care of this house Keep it from harm If bandits break in sound the alarm Care for this house Shine it by hand And keep it so clean The glow can be seen all over the land Be careful at night Check all the doors If someone makes off with a dream The dream will be yours Take care of this house Be always on call For this house is the hope of us all -Alan Jay Lerner (1918-1986)

For thou, O Spring! canst renovate All that high God did first create.

Be still his arm and architect, Rebuild the ruin, mend defect; Chemist to vamp old worlds with new, Coat sea and sky with heavenlier blue, New-tint the plumage of the birds, And slough decay from grazing herds, Sweep ruins from the scarped mountain,

Selections from West Side Story

JET SONG

I FEEL PRETTY

When you’re a Jet, you’re a Jet all the way From your first cigarette to your last dyin’ day.

When you’re a Jet, if the spit hits the fan You got brothers around, you’re a family man!

You’re never alone, you’re never disconnected!

You’re home with your own, when company’s expected You’re well protected!

Then you are set with a capital J Which you’ll never forget till they cart you away.

When you’re a Jet you stay a Jet!

I feel pretty, oh, so pretty.

I feel pretty and witty and bright!

And I pity any girl who isn’t me tonight.

I feel charming, oh, so charming.

It’s alarming how charming I feel!

And so pretty that I hardly can believe I’m real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there, Who can that attractive girl be?

Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress Such a pretty smile, such a pretty me!

I feel stunning and entrancing, Feel like running and dancing for joy, For I’m loved by a pretty wonderful boy!

Have you met my good friend María, The craziest girl on the block?

You’ll know her the minute you see her.

She’s the one who is in an advanced state of shock.

She thinks she’s in love, She thinks she’s in Spain.

She isn’t in love, she’s merely insane.

It must be the heat, or some rare disease.

Or too much to eat, or maybe it’s fleas.

Keep away from her, send for Chino!

This is not the Maria we know!

Modest and pure, polite and refined, Well-bred and mature, and out of her mind!

When you’re a Jet you’re the top cat in town, You’re the gold-medal kid with the heavyweight crown!

When you’re a Jet you’re the swingin’est thing, Little boy, you’re a man; little man, you’re a king!

The Jets are in gear, our cylinders are clickin’!

The Sharks’ll steer clear ‘cause every Puerto Rican’s a lousy chicken!

Here come the Jets, like a bat out of hell.

Someone gets in our way, someone don’t feel so well!

Here come the Jets: little world, step aside!

Better go underground, better run, better hide!

We’re drawin’ the line so keep your noses hidden!

We’re hangin’ a sign says “Visitors forbidden,” and we ain’t kiddin’!

Here come the Jets, yeah, and we’re gonna beat Every last buggin’ gang on the whole buggin’ street!

One the whole, ever, mother, lovin’ street!

I feel pretty, oh, so pretty That the city should give me its key.

A committee, should be organized to honor me.

I feel dizzy, I feel sunny.

I feel fizzy and funny and fine, And so pretty Miss America can just resign!

See the pretty girl in that mirror there What mirror where?

Who can that attractive girl be?

Which? What? Where? Whom?

Such a pretty face, such a pretty dress Such a pretty smile, such a pretty me!

I feel stunning, and entrancing, Feel like running and dancing for joy.

For I’m loved by a pretty wonderful boy!

TONIGHT The Jets and the Sharks: The Jets are gonna have their day, tonight.

The Sharks are gonna have their way, tonight.

The Puerto Ricans grumble, ‘fair fight’ but if they start a rumble, we’ll rumble’em right.

We’re gonna hand’em a surprise, tonight.

We’re gonna cut’em down to size, tonight.

We said ‘OK no rumpus, no tricks,’ but just in case they jump us, we’re ready to mix. Tonight!

We’re gonna rock it tonight.

We’re gonna jazz it up and have us a ball.

They’re gonna get it tonight.

The more they turn it on the harder they’ll fall.

Well they began it Well they began it And we’re the ones to stop’em once and for all, tonight!

SOMEWHERE There’s a place for us Somewhere a place for us Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us somewhere.

There’s a time for us Someday a time for us Time together with time to spare Time to learn, time to care Someday, somewhere We’ll find a new way of living We’ll find a way of forgiving Somewhere There’s a place for us A time and a place for us Hold my hand and we’re half way there Hold my hand and I’ll take you there Somehow, someday, somewhere

Anita: Anita’s gonna get her kicks, tonight.

We’ll have our private little mix, tonight.

He’ll walk in hot and tired, so what?

Don’t matter if he’s tired as long as he’s hot, tonight!

-Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)

Tony: Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night.

Tonight there will be no morning star.

Tonight, tonight, I’ll see my love tonight And for us stars will stop where they are.

Candide: You’ve been a fool, and so have I, but come and be my wife.

And let us try, before we die, to make some sense of life.

We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good; we’ll do the best we know.

We’ll build our house and chop our wood, and make our garden grow.

Today the minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly and still the sky is light.

Oh moon, grow bright, and make this endless day endless night.

Tonight!

The Jets: I’m counting on you to be there tonight.

When Diesel wins it fair and square tonight.

That Puerto Rican punk’ll go down, And when he’s hollered “Uncle” we’ll tear up the town So can I count on you boy? (All right) Womb to tomb! Sperm to worm!

I’ll see you there about eight.

María: Tonight, tonight, won’t be just any night.

Tonight there will be no morning star.

Tonight, tonight, I’ll see my love tonight And for us stars will stop where they are.

All: Tonight!

Make Our Garden Grow

Cunegonde: I thought the world was sugar cake, for so our master said.

But, now I’ll teach my hands to bake our loaf of daily bread.

Both: We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good; we’ll do the best we know.

We’ll build our house and chop our wood and make our garden grow.

All: Let dreamers dream what worlds they please; those Edens can’t be found.

The sweetest flowers, the fairest trees are grown in solid ground.

We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good; we’ll do the best we know.

We’ll build our house and chop our wood and make our garden grow!

-Richard Wilbur (1921-2017), after Voltaire

SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE 23

PROGRAM Note In New Mexico we are fortunate to live in a place of extraordinary beauty. The natural world has long been a source of inspiration for composers, who attempt to paint with notes the wonder that the eye perceives. Sure on this Shining Night is conceived as a love song to the earth; a sonnet to praise our planet’s many-faceted beauty.

In Il Giardino d’Afrodite (the Garden of Aphrodite) we find ourselves in the verdant landscape described in one of the only remaining odes of the ancient poet Sappho, who lived from 630 to 570 B.C. Ildebrando Pizzetti’s lush harmonic language is a perfect fit for the languorous dreamland inspired by the goddess of love. Claudio Monteverdi’s style is equally well suited to the words of his contemporary Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) in Ecco Mormorar L’Onde, the madrigal which opens the concert. The intermezzo between the two Italians is Charles Stanford’s much-loved choral miniature The Bluebird. By setting a single soprano line floating high above the choral texture, Stanford deftly captures the image of a bird, caught in a split second as it soars above a placid lake.

Over the last several seasons, the Desert Chorale has been pleased to perform multiple pieces by the American composer Jake Runestad. For Come to the Woods, Runestad has adapted words of the Scottish-American naturalist John Muir. Muir, who is known in large measure for advocacy of preservation in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, describes a sun-drenched hike that turns suddenly stormy (an experience familiar to most New Mexicans).

After thunder and lightning depicted in the piano, the storm passes, and we are left with Muir’s invitation: “come to the woods, for here is rest.”

For “A Little Night Music” we pair the Dutch composer Henk Badings with the great German romantic Johannes Brahms. This is music of intimacy and longing, and by moonlight all that seemed unthinkable by the light of garish day is once again possible. The craft of Bading’s Soir d’Éte is especially memorable; the composer begins with a playful scherzo, invoking the Greek sun-god Phoebus, the beauty of the summer night, and even the Virgin Mary, all to win his beloved’s heart.

In addition to being a composer, Paul John Rudoi is a singer who has performed with the Desert Chorale, as well as many seasons with the all-male vocal group Cantus.

“Two Falling Stars” is excerpted from the larger work “Song of Sky and Sea: A Song of Realization,” which was written

24 2018 SUMMER FESTIVAL

for Cantus in 2012. In this adaption, created especially for the mixed voices of the Desert Chorale, Rudoi sets the words of Persian mystic Hafiz (1315-1390), whose poetry lives on the threshold of everyday life and spiritual ecstasy.

This sense of awe and wonder is taken up, then, in Morten Laurdisen’s Sure on this Shining Night, in music that is at once imaginative and inspired.

We close our program with a rarity: a performance of Aaron Copland’s a cappella masterwork In the Beginning.

Written in 1947, this piece is seldom heard due to the technical demands of sustaining 17 minutes of unaccompanied singing, a feat beyond the skills of all but a select few ensembles.

The role of the narrator, which is sung in these performances

by Mezzo-soprano Kate Maroney, is to frame the various episodes of creation. Copland instructs her to sing “in a gentle, narrative manner, like reading a familiar and oft-told story.”

As the choir moves through each day of creation, the words of Genesis depict the appearance of day and night, heaven and earth, land and sea, plants, and animals of various kinds. In the great melodic leaps and open intervals one can hear the distinctly American voice of the composer of Appalachian Spring and Fanfare for the Common Man. Copland reserves a particularly exciting effect for the creation of stars in which the soloist, instructed to sing “almost breathlessly,” is freed from regular meter, and launches into a rapid-fire declamation, which is then taken up with equal fervor by the choir. Whales and beasts of the earth and cattle all have their turn, until Copland turns his attention to the creation of man, which he depicts first in a muscular unison passage. Then, in one of the most dramatic crescendos in a cappella choral literature, the singers extend to the very top of their range, and man is made “a living soul.”

—Joshua Habermann

TEXTS & Translations Ecco Mormorar L’Onde

(sung in Italian)

See How the Waves Murmur

Ecco mormorar l’onde e tremolar le fronde a l’aura mattutina e gli arborscelli, e sovra i verdi rami i vaghi augelli cantar soavemente e rider l’oriente.

See how the waves murmur and the fronds tremble at the morning’s breeze, and the shrubs and above the green limbs the gentle birds sing sweetly at the laughing dawn.

Ecco già l’alba appare e si specchia nel mare, e rasserena il cielo e imperla il dolce gelo, e gli alti monti indora.

O bella e vaga Aurora, L’aura è tua messaggera, e tu de l’aura ch’ogni arso cor ristaura.

Behold, the light appears and is mirrored in the sea and becalms the skies and dazzles the sweet ice adorning the high mountains.

O beautiful and sweet Dawn the breeze is your messenger, and you are hers refreshing every troubled heart.

-Torquato Tasso (1544-1595)

The Blue Bird The lake lay blue below the hill, O’er it, as I looked, there flew Across the waters cold and still, A bird whose wings were palest blue.

The sky above was blue at last, The sky beneath me blue in blue, A moment, ere the bird had passed, It caught his image as he flew.

-Mary E. Coleridge (1861-1907)

Il Giardino d’Afrodite

(sung in Italian)

Un boschetto di meli; sugli altari bruciano incense.

Mormora fresca l’acqua tra i rami tacitamente; tutto il luogo è ombrato di rose.

Stormiscono le fronde e ne discende molle sopore.

E di fiori di loto come a festa fiorisce il prato; esalano gli aneti sapore di miele.

Questa è la tua dimora, Cipride: qui tu recingi le infule sacre, e in auree coppe versi copiosamente nettare e gioia.

The Garden of Aphrodite An apple grove; on the altar frankincense burns.

Water murmurs cool and quiet among the trees Shaded everywhere by roses.

The limbs sway, inviting sweet sleep.

And with lotus flowers as if in celebration the field is in bloom; the blossoms give forth the scent of apples.

This is your resting place, goddess, here you gather us for sacred rites, and in golden cups you pour generously nectar and joy.

-Sappho (630 B.C.-580 B.C.) in Italian translation by Manara Valgimigli SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE 25

Come to the Woods Another glorious day, the air as delicious To the lungs as nectar to the tongue.

The day was full of sparking sunshine, And at the same time enlivened with one of the most bracing wind storms.

ASPEN SANTA FE BALLET July 14

The mountain winds bless the forests with love.

They touch every tree, not one is forgotten.

When the storm began to sound I pushed out into the woods to enjoy it.

I should climb one of the trees for a wider look.

The sounds of the storm were glorious with wild exuberance of light and motion.

Bending and swirling backward and forward, round and round, In this wild sea of pines.

La Nuit en Mer

(sung in French)

La brise enfle notre voile Voici la première étoile Qui luit; sur le flot qui nous balance Amis, voguons en silence Dans la nuit Tous bruits viennent de se taire, On dirait que tout sur terre est mort: Les humains comme les choses Les oiseaux comme les roses, Tout s’endort Mais la mer, c’est la Vivante C’est l’immensité mouvante Toujours prenant d’assaut les jetées Dédaigneuse des nuitées Et des jours Hormis Elle, rien n’existe que le grand Phare et son triste reflet A la place la meilleure Mes amis, jetons sur l’heure Le filet Puis, enroulé dans nos voiles Le front nu sous les étoiles, dormons!

Rêvons, en la paix profonde A tous ceux qu’en ce bas monde Nous aimons

On the Sea at Night The wind fills our sails Here is the first star Shining on the sea that rocks us Friends, let us sail the night in silence All noises are stilled One could say that all on earth is dead People, things, birds, flowers, All sleep But the sea, she is the Living One She is moving enormity Continuously taking aim at pier and jetty Disdainful of night and day Other than Her, nothing exists But the great Lighthouse, and its sad reflection In the best place My friends, let us throw now the nets Then, wrapped in our sails Our faces bare under the stars, let us sleep!

Let us dream in the deep peace Of all those who in this base world we love Let us sleep on our ships Like in the cradles of our childhood And tomorrow on the high tide We will return to the shore triumphant!

Dormons sur nos goélettes Comme en nos bercelonnettes d’enfants Et demain à marée haute Nous rallierons à la côte Triomphants!

-Théodore Botrel (1868-1925)

Abendständchen

(sung in German)

Evening Serenade

Hör, es klagt die Flöte wieder, und die kühlen Brunnen rauschen, golden wehn die Töne nieder, stille, stille lass uns lauschen!

Listen, the flute sighs again And the cool leaves rustle, Golden, sounds waft down, Quiet, quiet let us listen!

Holdes Bitten, mild Verlangen, wie es süss zum Herzen spricht! durch die Nacht, die mich umfangen blickt zu mir der Töne Licht!

Holy longing and sweet supplication How sweetly they speak to the heart!

Through the night that surrounds me Shines music’s light!

-Clemens von Brentano (1878-1842)

SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE 27

O schöne Nacht

(sung in German)

O lovely night!

O schöne Nacht! am Himmelmärchenhaft erglänzt der Mond in seiner ganzen Pracht um ihn der kleinen Sterne liebliche Genossenschaft

O lovely night!

In the magical sky the moon shines in all its glory Around him, the lovely company of tiny stars

Es schimmert hell der Tau am grünen Halm mit Macht im Fliederbusche schlägt die Nachtigall der Knabe schleicht zu seiner Liebsten sacht o schöne Nacht!

The dew shines bright on the green grass In the lilac bush the nightingale sings loudly The boy sneaks softly to his beloved O beautiful night!

-Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875)

Soir d’Été

(sung in French)

Summer Night

Lison ma câline, quittons la colline, car le jour décline au rouge horizon, avant qu’il ne meure, profitons de l’heure: à notre demeure viens t’en ma Lison!

Lison, my pet, let us leave the hill, for the sun descends to the red horizon, before it dies let us seize the day: come now, my Lison, time is fleeting!

Dans la paix immense du soir qui commence, monte la romance des petits grillons, et la plaine rase que Phébus embrase savoure l’extase des derniers rayons.

In the growing, deep peace of the evening, swells the romance of little crickets, and the broad plain that Phoebus adorns drinks in the ecstasy of the last rays.

Des voix enjôleuses sortent des yeuses: ce sont des berceuses, des petits oiseaux.

Et sa porte close, la fermière Rose chante même chose entre deux berceaux!

Seductive voices come from the oaks: they are the lullabies of little birds.

And her doors closed for the day, the farmer Rose sings along amidst two cradles.

C’est l’heure très pure où dans la ramure passe le murmure du grand vent calmé.

C’est l’heure langoureuse, l’heure où l’amoureuse se suspend heureuse au bras de l’Aimé;

It is the purest hour, when through the branches slips the murmuring of the great calmed breeze.

It is the languorous hour, when the lover rests happily in the arms of the beloved.

C’est l’heure touchante où tous nous enchante, où la cloche chante l’Angélus au loin.

Et c’est l’heure grise où la douce brise s’imprègne et se grise de l’odeur du foin:

It is the touching hour when everything charms us when the bell sings the Angelus in the distance.

And it is the grey hour when the sweet breeze Is infused with the odor of hay:

C’est l’heure où tout aime, où, las du blasphème, le méchant, lui même, est un peu meilleur.

Le cœur se dépouille de tout ce qui souille.

L’âme s’agenouille devant le Seigneur!

It is the hour when love is everywhere, far from sin even The Wicked One himself is a bit improved.

The heart is cleansed of all stain, the soul kneels before the Lord!

Lison ma petite, prions le bien vite, pour qu’on ne se quitte de l’Éternité, et qu’il nous convie à fuir cette vie à l’heure ravie d’un beau soir d’été.

Lison, my little one, let us pray with all speed, that we are not lost to eternity, and that we may flee this life at the ravishing hour of a beautiful summer evening.

-Théodore Botrel (1868-1925)

28 2018 SUMMER FESTIVAL

Two Falling Stars

Sure on this Shining Night

Let us be like Two falling stars in the day sky.

Let no one know of our sublime beauty As we hold hands with God And burn Into a sacred existence that defies – That surpasses Every description of ecstasy And love.

Sure on this shining night Of star-made shadows round, Kindness must watch for me This side the ground.

-Hafiz (1315-1390), translation by Daniel Ladinsky

Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder Wandering far alone Of shadows on the stars.

The late year lies down the north.

All is healed, all is health.

High summer holds the earth.

Hearts all whole.

In the Beginning In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

And God said, let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after its kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: and let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the day from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying,

be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

And God said, let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

And God said, behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for food: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the hosts of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

SANTA FE DESERT CHORALE 33

PROGRAM Note Long before a mature musical culture had developed in the British colonies of North America, there was a thriving community of composers and performers spread across the vast expanse of the Spanish Empire. From major cathedrals to small missions, a vibrant mestizaje (blending) of indigenous and European musical traditions had taken root, resulting in a repertoire as varied as the broad landscape itself. Since its founding in 1982, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale has been at the forefront of advocating and performing this unique repertoire.

In this concert, a collaboration between the Desert Chorale and Fort Worth-based Caminos del Inka Ensemble, we begin on the Inca trail, the complex network of roads that connected the great expanse of the Inca regions of presentday Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile. Hanac Pachap is thought to be the among the first pieces of Western music written in the Americas. Set in the Quechua language, the text invokes both traditional Christian and indigenous deities, and functions as a processional opener for today’s program.

Veni Sancte Spiritus is taken from the archive of the Jesuit mission of Moxos, a rich source of choral-orchestral music located in present-day Bolivia. The unknown composer is working in a baroque style and has set a lively motet on a Latin text associated with Pentecost.

The piece that follows, Tonada el Diamante, comes from the “Trujillo Codex,” a collection of some twenty musical works, accompanied by over 1,400 watercolor illustrations that capture the oral traditions, both sacred and secular, of 18th-century Peruvian life. Also from Peru, A Este Sol Peregrino is a lively work for chorus and continuo, arranged here by Caminos del Inka Founder Miguel Harth-Bedoya for chorus and orchestra.

Manuel de Zumaya was born in or near Mexico City of mixed European and indigenous heritage. A master of many musical styles, he wrote Solfa de Pedro as part of the hiring examinations for the job of Chapel Master of the Mexico City Cathedral. The unusual text was chosen by the examining committee to provide the composer with ample opportunities to show off his creativity, and Zumaya makes the most of it. Solfege syllables (sol, fa, la) both explicit and hidden in the text, are set to their appropriate notes in the scale. Further text painting for duro (hard/ sharp), cromático (chromatic), as well as rising and falling gestures all demonstrate Zumaya’s compositional skill, which must have impressed the committee as he got the job and remained in Mexico City for 20 years.

Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla was a hugely prolific composer with over 700 surviving works, most of which were written for the Puebla Cathedral, at that time a major center for sacred music. He provides an a cappella (unaccompanied) motet for this concert. Written for double chorus divided into two four-voice groups, Ave Regina is typical of Padilla’s love for call and response effects, and his blending of a traditional European style with New World dance elements.

Also from Puebla, Antonio de Salazar contributes Tarará Yo Soy Antón, which like Los Coflades de la Estleya, is a negrillo, a Christmas piece that captures the dialect of African slaves brought to the New World. Finally, to close, we return to Salazar’s star pupil, Manuel de Zumaya, whose brilliant Celebren, Publiquen is written in a high-baroque idiom, providing a celebratory ending to our program.

—Joshua Habermann

We close the first section of the concert with two works by composer Juan de Araujo, who was born in Spain and emigrated to the New World, where he served as Maestro de Capilla in the cathedrals of Lima, Cuzco and Sucre. In these compositions we see two very distinct sides of New World music. The magnificent Dixit Dominus is a grand psalm setting for triple choir and doubling instruments.

The occasional dance rhythms that play a small role in Dixit Dominus are in full effect for Los Coflades de la Estleya, a retelling of the Christmas story from the point of view of a slave. Set to an African-influenced Spanish text, this piece is a brilliant dance of ever-shifting rhythms.

From South America we come closer to home with music from the Northern reaches of the Spanish Empire.

Dixit Dominus (Psalm 110)

(sung in Latin)

Psalm 110

Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, Donec ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum.

Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: Dominare in medio inimicorum tuorum.

Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum: Ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.

Juravit Dominus et non poenitebit eum: Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.

Dominus a dextris tuis: confregit in die irae suae reges.

Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas: Conquassabit capita in terra multorum.

De torrente in via bibet: propterea exaltabit caput.

Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper In saecula saeculorum, amen.

The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.

Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power In the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: Thou hast the dew of thy youth.

The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.

He shall judge among the heathen, he shall scatter the dead; He shall visit destruction in many countries.

He shall drink of the brook in the way: Therefore shall he lift up the head.

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

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, World without end, amen.

Solfa de Pedro

Solfa de Pedro

(sung in Spanish)

Sol-fa de Pedro es el llanto Oiga, el mundo si es así.

Pues saben unir los gorgeos de sus voces, lo duro de su sentir, del cromático explicar, del blando y del duro herir; qu’en el llanto dice Pedro: He hallado lo que perdí al sol la vez que lloré porque me alumbró él a mí.

Vengan, vengan a oír, verán el entonar en el gemir.

Vengan a oír del contrapunto lo dulce y sutil del sol la vez que lloré porque me alumbró él a mí.

Desde el ut la pena mía me subió cuando caí a la mi perdida gloria y a mí la gloria sin fin.

Sol-fa de Pedro es el llanto…

Ave Regina

(sung in Latin)

Peter’s solfeggio is the lament, Let the world listen to see if it isn’t so.

Since the warbling of its voices Knows how to unite the harshness of his feeling by the chromatic explanation of the tender and harsh beating that Peter describes in his cry I have found what I lost to the sun the time that I cried because he enlightened me.

Come, come and hear, you will see the song in the lament.

Come and hear in the counterpoint the sweetness and subtlety of the sun the time that I cried because he enlightened me.

From the depths of my sorrow When I fell he raised me up To my lost glory And to my glory without end.

Ave Regina

Ave Regina Caelorum Ave Domina Angelorum Salve radix sancta Ex qua mundo lux est orta

Hail Queen of Heaven Hail Mistress of Angels Hail, holy source From which the light of the world has risen

Gaude, gaude gloriosa Super omnes speciosa Vale, o valde decora Et pro nobis sempre Christum exora

Rejoice, rejoice glorious one Beautiful above all others Farewell, o gracious one And pray for us always to Christ.

David Coss, Lecturer

Josef B. Díaz, Chief Curator and Associate Director, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art

(Inspirational Terrain: Artistic Creation in New Mexico) David Coss came to New Mexico in 1959 from Southern Illinois.

His parents delighted in their new Photo: Mona Blaber physical and cultural surroundings and shared this with the five Coss children. Summers were filled with camping and fishing in northern New Mexico and winters included sledding and the fragrance of piñon and juniper smoke in the cold Santa Fe air.

Mr. Coss was a City Councilor and Mayor of Santa Fe (2006-2014.) He is proud of Santa Fe’s establishment of the Santa Fe Living Wage ordinance, the Santa Fe Living River programs, the protection of immigrant families in Santa Fe and the City resolution to recognize marriage equality.

The recipient of the 2013 Americans for the Arts and The United States Conference of Mayors National Award for Local Arts Leadership, David Coss has enjoyed and supported the arts and music of Santa Fe. “The arts community of Santa Fe helped make clear to me the connection between the arts and the natural beauty of New Mexico. For centuries, New Mexico itself has been a central theme of so many of our artists. This in turn has created the rich cultures we celebrate here.”

He earned an undergraduate degree at New Mexico State University (Wildlife Science) and a Master of Science degree (Zoology) from Southern Illinois University. David has completed a career in environmental protection and natural resources management for New Mexico while continuing to hunt, fish, camp, and hike here.

He lives in Santa Fe with his wife, Carol. He serves as Chair of the Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club Executive Committee, as a board member of Somos un Pueblo Unido, and is a proud grandfather.

(Caminos del Inka Chamber Program, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art) Josef B. Díaz was appointed Chief Curator and Associate Director of Santa Fe’s Museum of Spanish Colonial Art in September 2017. In this capacity, he oversees its renowned Spanish Colonial art collection, develops exhibitions, expands community engagement, and continues the Museum’s commitment to acquiring works with a broad, Pan-American focus.

AMBASSADORS

Ambassadors are individuals who have an appreciation of the beauty and power of great choral music. They promote and support the mission of the Santa Fe Desert Chorale and foster a sense of community by introducing friends and neighbors to the Chorale. They are positive spokespeople in the community. Ambassadors share their excitement and reflect a culture of kindness and respect. Santa Fe Desert Chorale programming would not be possible without the support of many individuals in the community who give generously of their time and talent. Thank you.
