Program Notes
Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer unless otherwise noted
Living Room Music (1940)
John Cage’s Living Room Music, for percussion quartet, embodies both the American composer’s avant-garde aesthetic, and his exploration of performers’ latitude. The first (To Begin) and last (End) movements may be performed with “(a)ny household objects or architectural elements.” In the second movement (Story), the members of the quartet recite Cage’s setting of Gertrude Stein’s “The World is Round.” Melody, the optional third movement, “may be played on any suitable instrument: wind, string or keyboard, prepared or not.”
Festive Overture, op. 96 (1954)
Dmitri Shostakovich composed his Festive Overture in the autumn of 1954. A concert was scheduled to take place at the Moscow Bolshoi Theater in early November of that year, in celebration of the 37th anniversary of the October Revolution. As the concert date approached, Vasili Nebol’sin, a conductor at the Bolshoi, realized that there was no piece on the concert program to commemorate the historic event. At Nebol’sin’s request, Shostakovich agreed to compose a brief overture.
Shostakovich dashed off his Festive Overture, all the while chatting and making jokes. As Shostakovich completed each page of the score, a courier delivered the music—the ink still wet—from Shostakovich’s apartment to Nebol’sin at the Bolshoi. On November 6, 1954, Alexander Melik-Pashayev conducted the Bolshoi Orchestra in the world premiere of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture. Some commentators have suggested that the energy and high spirits of the Festive Overture relate not just to the anniversary of the October Revolution, but also the death in 1953 of Shostakovich’s long-time nemesis, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
L’Arlésienne Suite No. 2 (1872) (ed. Ernest Guiraud)
In 1872, Léon Carvalho, impresario of the Paris Théâtre du Vaudeville, contacted French composer Georges Bizet. The theater was presenting Alphonse Daudet’s play, L’Arlésienne, and Carvalho wanted Bizet to write a series of pieces to serve as incidental music to the action, a tragic love story set in Provence (Daudet’s play also served as the basis for Francesco Cilea’s 1897 opera, L’Arlesiana). In just a few weeks’ time, Bizet composed the incidental music.
According to Daudet, the October 1, 1872 premiere of his play L’Arlésienne “was a most dazzling failure, with the most charming music in the world.” Bizet soon enjoyed great success with an orchestral suite he created from the play’s incidental music. After Bizet’s death his friend, Ernest Guiraud, fashioned a second L’Arlésienne Suite.
I. Pastorale
II. Intermezzo
III. Menuet (from Bizet’s 1867 opera, Le jolie fille du Perth)
IV. Farandole
Te Deum in C Major, Hob.XXIIIc:2 (ca. 1799)
Haydn composed the Te Deum for Empress Marie Therese, wife of Emperor Francis. Marie Therese, a great admirer of Haydn’s music, was also an accomplished singer. The Empress gave private performances of soprano solos from Haydn masses, as well as the Austrian composer’s oratorios The Creation (1798) and The Seasons (1801). Haydn scored his setting of the Te Deum, an early Christian hymn of praise, for mixed chorus and orchestra. Two glorious C Major episodes frame a brief sequence in C minor, a setting of the text “Te ergo quaesumus, famulis tuis subveni, quos pretioso sanguine redemisti” (“We therefore pray to You, help Your servants, whom You have redeemed with Your precious blood”). The concluding portion includes a grand double fugue, leading to the radiant final measures.
O God, we praise you; O Lord, we acclaim you. Eternal Father, all the earth reveres you. All the angels, the heavens and the Powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim cry out to you in endless praise: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are filled with the majesty of your glory. The glorious choir of Apostles sings to you, the noble company of prophets praises you, the white-robed army of martyrs glorifies you, the Holy Church throughout the earth proclaims you, Father of boundless majesty, with your true and only Son, worthy of adoration, and the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. You, O Christ, are the King of glory, you are the Father’s everlasting Son; when you resolved to save the human race, you did not spurn the Virgin’s womb;
you overcame the sting of death and opened wide the Kingdom of Heaven to those who put their faith in you. You are seated at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father. We believe you are the Judge who is to come.
And so we beg you, help your servants, redeemed by your most precious blood.
Number them among your saints in eternal glory. Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance. Shepherd them and raise them to eternal life. Day by day, we bless you and praise your name for endless ages evermore. Be gracious, Lord, on this day, and keep us from all sin. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy. May your mercy be upon us, Lord, as we place our trust in you.
In you, O Lord, I rest my hope: let me never be put to shame.
Metamorphosis
Program note written by composer Elizabeth Younan
Metamorphosis not only pertinently reflects the revolutionary work of naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian—the ensemble’s namesake—but also encapsulates one of my absolute favorite processes of composition: that of organicism, whereby a musical seed permeates the entire work. The first movement is slow, albeit filled with tension as the opening melody presented by the oboe continuously morphs and transforms throughout the Merian Ensemble and the orchestra. The second movement is vibrant and joyful, and features imitative textures between the soloists and the orchestra. It brims with hope as the work alternates between ensemble and tutti sections. Ultimately, Metamorphosis serves as a metaphor for the life cycle of the caterpillar, the insect which Merian herself studied intensely. The first movement functions as the caterpillar gradually transforming in its cocoon, which bursts forth as a butterfly to explore its vibrant—and musical—landscape. This work is dedicated to the Merian Ensemble, Emory University, and the Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Billy the Kid Suite (1940)
At the age of twenty, American composer Aaron Copland journeyed to Paris where he worked with the legendary teacher, Nadia Boulanger. While in Europe, Copland was greatly impressed by the music of Russian composers Modest Mussorgsky and Igor Stravinsky. Upon his return to the United States in the early 1920s, Copland decided that he would attempt to create a parallel genre; that is, to compose music “that would immediately be recognized as American in character.”
Copland’s desire to compose in an “American” fashion ultimately manifested itself in two (not necessarily independent) compositional styles. One technique featured the incorporation of jazz into classical works. The other method, and the one for which Copland is best known, involved the use of American folk subjects and/or melodies, as exemplified by such works as Rodeo (1942), the Lincoln Portrait (1942), and Appalachian Spring (1944).
Another work in the latter genre is the ballet Billy the Kid (1938). Copland composed the score at the request of Lincoln Kirstein for his Ballet Caravan. When the Brooklyn-born Copland expressed some reservations about whether his life experience equipped him to compose music about the Wild West, Kirstein replied that the famous outlaw depicted in the ballet had, too, been born in Brooklyn! At Kirstein’s suggestion, Copland included a number of cowboy songs in his ballet score.
The Ballet Caravan presented the world premiere of Copland’s Billy the Kid at the Chicago Civic Opera House on October 16, 1938. In that performance, Copland’s score was performed by piano duet. Copland later created a six-movement suite for orchestra from the original ballet score. William Steinberg conducted the NBC Symphony in the November 9, 1940 premiere of the Billy the Kid Suite.
The Suite’s episodes are performed without pause:
I. The Open Prairie
II. Street in a Frontier Town
III. Card Game at Night
IV. Gun Battle
V. Celebration after Billy’s Capture
VI. Billy’s Demise
VII. The Open Prairie (epilogue)
Paul Bhasin, conductor
Paul Bhasin serves as Director of Orchestral Studies at Emory University where he holds the Donna and Marvin Schwartz Professorship in Music. In this capacity, he conducts the Emory University Symphony Orchestra and Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra, oversees music research programs, and teaches conducting. Praised for his “crisp, clear” conducting and “highly expressive” interpretations, Bhasin’s career began when he won the Yamaha Young Performing Artist Competition in 1998. As a conductor, composer/arranger, and instrumentalist, Bhasin has collaborated with diverse institutions including the San Francisco Symphony, Virginia Symphony, “President’s Own” US Marine Band, the International Computer Music Conference, St. Louis Opera, New World Symphony, Interlochen Arts Academy, International Dvořák Festival (Prague, Czechia), and Chicago Civic Orchestra. Bhasin has performed on National Public Radio, Detroit PBS-TV, and at the Aspen, Tanglewood, Grand Teton, and Ravinia music festivals. Bhasin has recorded as a trumpeter and conductor for the Centaur, ACA, and Interscope record labels.
Bhasin also serves as Music Director and Conductor of the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra and Atlanta Chamber Music Festival. An avid educator, Bhasin has collaborated with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Musicorps program, the Grammy-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird, led honor orchestras and bands (including at the All-State level), and has presented at national conferences including the Midwest Orchestra Clinic and the National Music Teachers Association Conference. Bhasin’s trumpet students have won first prize at major competitions including the National Trumpet Competition.
Bhasin composed and conducted the orchestral scores to the motion picture Sister Carrie (recently premiered at the Gene Siskel Center in Chicago) and Hogtown (award winner at the Berlin, Los Angeles, and Nashville International Black Film festivals) which was named a “Critic’s Pick” and one of the “Top 10 Films of 2016” by the New York Times (both films stream on Amazon Prime Video). He received his musical education from Northwestern University, the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Jon Easter, director
Jon Easter is celebrated for his moving expressivity and musical artistry across multiple instruments and as a conductor. He performs regularly with Emory’s Concert Choir and Atlanta Master Chorale, serving as both accompanist and assistant conductor. His expertise has also been showcased in performances with the Atlanta Master Chorale at ACDA and AGO conventions at regional and national levels.
Throughout his career, Easter has held significant positions as organist and choir director at Saint Paul’s by the Sea Episcopal in Jacksonville, Florida, Roswell Presbyterian Church in Roswell, Georgia, and Saint Mark United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. He now enjoys life as a sought-after substitute and interim organist, in high demand for his versatility and reliability. His commitment to musical excellence extends to solo and collaborative organ recitals across the Southeast, where he consistently demonstrates both technical mastery and artistic expression.
His collaborations with renowned singers, including multiple recitals with Jamie Barton—featuring a recording of Lee Hoiby’s Bon Appétit! and participation in the Metropolitan Opera virtual Gala—further highlight his distinguished career. Easter’s recordings include several Atlanta Master Chorale CDs, the University of North Florida Chamber Singers, and Crossroads Trumpets: Masterworks for Trumpet Ensemble. These contributions solidify his reputation as a dynamic and versatile musician, making significant impacts across various musical landscapes.
Easter holds an undergraduate degree in organ performance from Shorter College, where he studied with Peter Dewitt. He earned double master’s degrees in choral conducting and organ performance from Emory University under Eric Nelson and Timothy Albrecht. He also pursued additional conducting studies with Donald Nally and Martha Shaw and organ studies with Bill Evans and Alan Morrison.
The Merian Ensemble
The Merian Ensemble is a chamber music group dedicated to promoting the standard of an inclusive repertoire. The group was formed in 2018 by five women musicians from the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, determined to counteract the striking dearth of music by women composers programmed in classical music settings. Through their “Listen: Works by Women” initiatives, the Merian Ensemble performs the abundant repertoire of music by women and commissions a new work each year. In addition to traditional concerts, they give outreach performances for school-age children and presentations at libraries and public spaces throughout Atlanta. Their performances have been featured over forty times on NPR’s “Performance Today.” To date, they have commissioned nine new works funded by grants from Agnes Scott College, the American Harp Society, the PRS Foundation, and private donors. They were a recipient of a travel grant from Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation through USArtists International, and their 2023–2024 season was supported by New Music USA’s Organization Fund. Their debut album, “The Book of Spells” on the Navona label, presents their first seven commissioned works and was released in August 2024. Textura notes the “exceptional chamber performances” and “compelling musicianship,” and EarRelevant calls it “one exciting project, gorgeously prepared, played, and recorded.”
Elizabeth Younan, composer
Elizabeth Younan (1994) is quickly gaining a reputation as one of Australia’s finest young composers. Her violin solo “… your heart dreams of spring” is featured on Jennifer Koh’s 2022 Grammy Award–winning album, Alone Together. Younan has composed for the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the podcast “Lost Women of Science,” and for principal players of the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Younan holds a BMus in composition with First Class Honours and an MMus from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where she studied with Carl Vine AO. She graduated from her composition studies at the renowned Curtis Institute of Music with the Charles Miller “Alfredo Casella” Award for composition, and was selected by staff and faculty to be the female graduating speaker for the class of 2021. She studied with Dr. Jennifer Higdon, Dr. David Serkin Ludwig, and Dr. Richard Danielpour as the first Australian composer to be admitted to Curtis in its nearly 100-year history. Younan was recently awarded a prestigious 2024 Australian Universities’ John Monash Scholarship from the General Sir John Monash Foundation, which provides postgraduate scholarships to outstanding Australians to study overseas. She is currently a first year DMA student at the Juilliard School on full-tuition scholarship as a C.V. Starr Doctoral Fellow.
Accolades include a Daniel W. Dietrich II Young Alumni Fund Award from the Curtis Institute of Music and an ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, among other awards from her home country.
Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Emory Youth Symphony Orchestra (EYSO) program was founded in 2005 at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. As one of the finest precollege programs in the region, EYSO provides comprehensive orchestral performance opportunities while supporting the pedagogy of school directors and private teachers. All students and parents are offered the opportunity for pre-college counseling, assistance with college and scholarship applications, diverse masterclass and seminar offerings, and financial aid advice.
