Program Notes This evening’s concert is a joint effort by Emory instrumental music students, faculty, staff, and guest performers. This mixture of live and virtual projects was conceived, recorded, and produced with inspiring contributions by Emory University Symphony Orchestra (EUSO) and Emory Wind Ensemble (EWE) students, who have enthusiastically embraced these diverse celebrations of ensemble performance. As we look ahead to future performances, we also reflect upon the artistic and academic goals achieved in a constantly shifting and challenging environment. Enjoy the performance.

Text and Translation “Au fond du temple saint” from The Pearl Fishers Zurga C’était le soir!

Dans l’air par la brise attiédi, Les brahmines au front inondé de lumière, Appelaient lentement la foule à la prière!

It was in the evening!

In the air cooled by a breeze, The brahmanes with faces flooded with light, Slowly called the crowd to prayer!

Nadir Au fond du temple saint paré de fleurs et d’or, Une femme apparaît!

At the back of the holy temple, decorated with flowers and gold, A woman appears!

Zurga Une femme apparaît!

A woman appears!

Nadir Je crois la voir encore!

I can still see her!

Zurga Je crois la voir encore!

I can still see her!

Nadir La foule prosternée La regarde, étonnée, Et murmure tout bas : Voyez, c’est la déesse Qui dans l’ombre se dresse, Et vers nous tend les bras!

The prostrate crowd looks at her amazed and murmurs under its breath: look, this is the goddess looming up in the shadow and holding out her arms to us.

Zurga Son voile se soulève! Ô vision! ô rêve!

La foule est à genoux!

Her veil lifts slightly.

What a vision! What a dream!

The crowd is kneeling.

Both Oui, c’est elle!

Oui, c’est elle!

C’est la déesse Qui descend parmi nous!

Son voile se soulève Et la foule est à genoux!

Yes, it is she!

It is the goddess, more charming and more beautiful.

Yes, it is she!

It is the goddess who has come down among us.

Her veil has parted and the crowd is kneeling.

Nadir Mais à travers la foule Elle s’ouvre un passage!

But through the crowd she makes her way.

Zurga Son long voile déjà Nous cache son visage!

Already her long veil hides her face from us.

Nadir Mon regard, hélas!

La cherche en vain!

My eyes, alas!

Seek her in vain!

Zurga Elle fuit!

She flees!

Nadir Elle fuit!

Mais dans mon âme soudain Quelle étrange ardeur s’allume!

She flees!

But what is this strange flame which is suddenly kindled in my soul!

Zurga Quel feu nouveau me consume!

What unknown fire is destroying me?

Nadir Ta main repousse ma main!

Your hand pushes mine away!

Zurga Ta main repousse ma main!

Your hand pushes mine away!

Nadir De nos cœurs l’amour s’empare, Et nous change en ennemis!

Love takes our hearts by storm and turns us into enemies!

Zurga Non, que rien ne nous sépare!

No, let nothing part us!

6

En ce jour qui vient nous unir, Et fidèle à ma promesse, Comme un frère je veux te chérir!

C’est elle, c’est la déesse Qui vient en ce jour nous unir!

Oui, partageons le même sort, Soyons unis jusqu’à la mort!

Oh yes, let us swear to remain friends!

Yes, it is she, the goddess, who comes to unite us this day.

And, faithful to my promise, I wish to cherish you like a brother!

A passionate educator, he joined the faculty of Emory University as director of vocal studies in 2011 and also serves as part of the distinguished faculty of the Amalfi Coast Music Festival.

Howard began his career as a fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, when his performance of Bob Boles in the 50th anniversary of Benjamin Britten’s Peter Grimes brought him to the attention of famed conductor Seiji Ozawa. Further operatic successes include Tamino in The Magic Flute, Ferrando in Così fan tutte, Rodolfo in La bohème, Beppe in I Pagliacci, Count Almaviva in I Barbiere di Siviglia, Peter Quint in Britten’s Turn of the Screw, and Albert in Albert Herring. He has performed at various festivals including Spoleto, Chautauqua Opera, the Ohio Light Opera, Tanglewood Music Festival, and Breckenridge Music Institute.

Howard brings depth and excitement of an expansive repertoire to his solo recitals, handling the florid style of Bach and the fragmented tonalities of Britten and Menotti with equal aplomb.

Howard’s concert engagements have included a long-time collaboration with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO), where he has appeared as soloist in performances of Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins, Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy, Christmas with the ASO, and, most recently, Saint Saens’s Samson and Dalila.

Other recent works he has performed include Mozart’s Requiem, Haydn’s Creation, Handel’s Messiah, and Bach’s St. John’s Passion.

A noted educator, Howard’s students have been accepted into undergraduate and graduate programs in voice performance and musical theater at the Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Oberlin, University of Cincinnati (CCM), the University of Michigan, Florida State University, Elon College, Carnegie Mellon, New York University, Roosevelt, Bard College, Indiana University, and many others.

10

opera programs. His students consistently place as finalists in young artist competitions such as NATS auditions.

Howard’s degrees in music and voice from Baylor University and the University of Cincinnati (UC) opened the doors to America’s musical stage.

At UC he earned an MM in voice working with William McGraw, and a BM in voice at Baylor working with Joyce Farwell. Howard is an active adjudicator and clinician and has presented masterclasses and/or clinics at the University of Washington, Whitman College, Sam Houston State University, Emory University, Georgia State University, Valdosta State University, and the Ohio State University.

He has a master’s degree in conducting from the University of Georgia (UGA) and a bachelor of arts degree, summa cum laude, from Cornell University.

Music at Emory

The Department of Music at Emory University provides an exciting and innovative environment for developing knowledge and skills as a performer, composer, and scholar. Led by a faculty of more than 60 nationally and internationally recognized artists and researchers, undergraduate and graduate students experience a rich diversity of performance and academic opportunities. Undergraduate students in the department earn a BA in music with a specialization in performance, composition, or research, many of whom simultaneously earn a second degree in another department.

True to the spirit of Emory, a liberal arts college in the heart of a research university, the faculty and ensembles also welcome the participation of nonmajor students from across the Emory campus.
