To make a gift, visit cso.org/makeagift or call 312-294-3100.

We are pleased to welcome you to Symphony Center during this festive time of year, and delighted that so many choose to celebrate the season with music. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and artists on the Symphony Center Presents series give us the gift of music performed at the highest level year round, and for this we are truly grateful.

In early January, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti leads the Orchestra on its sixty-second international tour, this time to Cologne, Vienna, Luxembourg, Paris, Naples, Florence, Milan, and Lugano to present works by Mendelssohn, Dvořák, Prokofiev, and Hindemith. The tour also includes two performances of Verdi’s Requiem at the Musikverein in Vienna as part of a series of special concerts honoring that venerable hall’s 150th anniversary. It is a great pleasure to see our beloved orchestra greeted with enthusiasm at home and abroad.

Thanks to the support of over 10,000 donors who contribute to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association each season, the CSO continues to serve as a cultural ambassador for the city of Chicago. We very much hope that you consider supporting the CSOA by making a gift to the Annual Fund, enabling you to become an integral part of our ongoing pursuit of artistic excellence, the devel-opment of new audiences, innovative education and community programs, and sharing music with audiences in Chicago and around the world. Your support also ensures that the important work of the CSOA continues for generations to come.

On behalf of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Negaunee Music Institute, our trustees, volunteers, administration, and above all, the many people whose lives are enriched each year through music, we thank you for your support.

We send our warmest wishes for a music-filled, happy, and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you at Symphony Center soon.

No. 2: World PremieresIntroducing new music to CSO audiences has been an important part of Riccardo Muti’s artistic legacy as music director. With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he has conducted twelve world premieres to date by CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence and distinguished American and international composers. He will conduct two new CSO commissions during the spring of 2020. Many of these commissions have been concertos featuring members of the Orchestra, reflecting Muti’s great confidence in their abilities

as soloists. Having studied composition himself for ten years, Muti has the utmost respect for composers: “I approach music of the classical period—baroque, modern, romantic, contemporary—always in the same way, with the same seriousness,” he says. “The moment of truth comes when what the composer has sought is coming to life in the performance.”

Bernard Rands’s Danza Petrificada received its world premiere on May 5, 2011. Muti and the Orchestra took the work on tour to Europe, to cities including Lucerne, Salzburg, Luxembourg, Paris, and Vienna, the following summer.

The CSO’s music director position is endowed in perpetuity by a generous gift from the Zell Family Foundation. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is grateful to Bank of America for its generous support as the Maestro Residency Presenter.

On January 30, 2014, Riccardo Muti conducted Giovanni Sollima’s Antidotum Tarantulae XXI, Concerto for Two Cellos and Orchestra, with the then Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma and the composer as soloists. The idea for the commission came from both Muti and Ma. Muti was already familiar with

Sollima’s music, having commissioned and premiered two earlier works by the composer: Tempeste e ritratti at the Teatro alla Scala in 2001, and Passiuni at the Ravenna Festival in 2008.

Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Jennifer Higdon recalled Muti’s con-cise advice to her when she received her commission for the CSO’s low brass section: “ ‘Write these guys a good concerto.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir!’ ” Muti conducted the premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto on February 1, 2018, and then took the work on tour, performing it in New York at Carnegie Hall; in Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

CSO Viola Max Raimi’s score, composed at the request of Riccardo Muti, was specifically written for his colleagues in the Orchestra. Raimi was acutely aware, as he was composing the pages of his Three Lisel Mueller Settings, of creating music for the people who sit around him day after day in rehearsal and in concerts. Each movement featured a different colleague, including Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson, Principal Bassoon Keith Bunke, and Principal Bass Alexander Hanna. Muti conducted the premiere with the CSO and mezzo-soprano soloist Elizabeth DeShong on March 22, 2018.

6 CSO.ORG

me ad composers-in-residenceIn October 2009, Riccardo Muti, then music director designate, outlined several initiatives for his tenure. One of them was to appoint CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence who would act as advocates within the Chicago community to further the understanding and appreciation of all music. He named Mason Bates and Anna Clyne to two-year terms beginning in 2010, which were later extended through the 2014–15 season. In 2015, he appointed Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek to three-year residencies. During their time with the CSO, each of the composers had multiple works conducted by Muti, including CSO commissions, bringing these emerging composers to international attention. In 2018, Muti appointed Missy Mazzoli, whose CSO-commissioned work Orpheus Undone receives its world premiere with Muti and the Orchestra in April 2020.

In addition to writing her CSO commission, Missy Mazzoli curates the CSO’s MusicNOW series. She is seen here performing her arrangement of music by Meredith Monk, entitled Passage, What Does It Mean?, with CSO musicians at the May 20, 2019, MusicNOW concert.

Two CSO Resound releases feature CSO-commissioned works by Mead Composers-in- Residence Anna Clyne and Mason Bates conducted by Muti and performed live by the CSO. The first includes Bates’s Alternative Energy and Clyne’s Night Ferry. The second record-ing is of Bates’s Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, which was dedicated to Muti at the conclu-sion of the composer’s residency.

No. 3: Concertos with Orchestra MembersRiccardo Muti has an exceptional bond with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In an interview with Scholar-in-Residence and Program Annotator Phillip Huscher last season, Muti noted that when he returned to conduct the CSO in 2007, “the way they responded to my musical ideas and the sense of family that we immediately created together pushed me to accept this very prestigious commitment.” One way of showing his great respect for their talents has been to invite members of the Orchestra to perform con-certos at Orchestra Hall and on tour. Moreover, as was noted earlier, many of these concertos have been CSO commissions. Here are some highlights from the nearly twenty works featuring CSO members as soloists that Muti has conducted during his tenure.

“We’re the luckiest musicians on the planet to be in the CSO and to have him as the music director. There’s nothing like it anywhere; there’s nothing like him anywhere. With this unit, everything is at the highest possible level. I’m confident that, with him, this piece is going to be a hit,” said CSO Bass Trombone Charles Vernon in preparation for the world premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto on February 1, 2018.

World Premiere by Mason Bates Blends Music and Digital Animation

I t has been more than twenty years since the Chicago Symphony Orchestra teamed up with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and the gang

to provide the soundtrack to Walt Disney’s Fantasia 2000, for which the CSO earned a Grammy Award nomination. The CSO will again cross paths with cutting-edge technology in the world premiere and CSO co-commission of Mason Bates’s Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra. Bates, the CSO’s Mead Composer-in-Residence from 2010 to 2015, cocreated the piece with award-winning writer and director Gary Rydstrom and story artist and

animator Jim Capobianco. This program will run as part of the CSO School and Family Concerts series, March 26–28, 2020, under the direction of Edwin Outwater.

The commission is in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CSO’s series for children that began during the 1919–20 season, established by the Orchestra’s second music director, Frederick Stock. This program-ming continues today along with other exten-sive educational and community-engagement programming produced by the Negaunee Music Institute.

Philharmonia Fantastique is a concerto for orchestra and animation with kinetic, cutting- edge, multimedia work that integrates film and prerecorded sound with live performance. The collaboration between the piece’s creators—innovators in the worlds of music, storytelling, and animation, respectively—similarly demon-strates this groundbreaking intersection of artistic disciplines. Bates’s work “flies inside musical instruments to explore the age-old connection of creativity and technology,” said the composer, “and the centennial of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s education programs is the perfect launching point for this multimedia work.”

In the new piece, an energetic, colorful sprite leads the audience on a tour through the music, taking listeners inside the instruments of the orchestra, exploring how individual instruments produce a sound, and how they work together in an ensemble. The story unfolds through music and visuals alone, creating a piece free of language barriers, accessible, and entertaining for audi-ences of all ages.

“The CSOA is very pleased to continue our relationship with Mason Bates through this new commission,” said CSOA President Jeff Alexander. “Mason is one of the most singular and creative voices in orchestral music today, and he is gifted with a collaborative spirit and a pas-sion for education and innovation. Philharmonia Fantastique presents a wonderful opportunity to welcome a new generation of listeners into the inspiring world of orchestral music, and we look forward to sharing this music with our audiences.”

“Discovering the music of Mason Bates during his time with the CSO was so joyful,” said Helen Zell, CSOA Board Chair and sponsor of the CSO commission. “His music takes audiences on jour-neys of the imagination, and I look forward to the ways that his new work will engage listeners.”

Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra is co-commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra. The CSO commission is made possible through the generous support of Helen Zell.

Mason Bates currently serves as the first composer-in-residence of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. His opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs premiered at the Santa Fe Opera in 2017; the live recording of that production was recognized with Best Opera Recording at the 2019 Grammy Awards telecast.

Writer and director Gary Rydstrom has been nomi-nated for eighteen Academy awards, winning seven for his work in sound and sound editing in films, including Jurassic Park, Titanic, and Saving Private Ryan. Story artist and animator Jim Capobianco has worked on many major animated films, including The Lion King, Fantasia 2000, Finding Nemo, and Inside Out. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Ratatouille.

CSO School and Family Concerts, presented by the Negaunee Music Institute, engage approximately 40,000 audience members each season. These affordable and age-appropriate concerts feature the extraordinary musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to inspire the next generation of audience members and music lovers.

CSOA’s Annual Symphony Ball September 21, 2019

O n the evening of September 21, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s annual Symphony Ball concert. The program,

supported by presenting sponsor Northern Trust, included a rousing program featuring music by Verdi and Suppé, as well as Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy-Overture after Shakespeare. “A pianist of magisterial elegance, power and insight” (The New York Times), Leif Ove Andsnes performed Grieg’s magnificent Piano Concerto in A minor.

Gala patrons enjoyed a bustling preconcert reception, with full bar and hors d’oeuvres in Buntrock Hall. Red-carpet experience, photo wall, and performances by members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago were presented on Michigan Avenue to welcome all concert attendees to Orchestra Hall.

The Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association proudly presented this year’s ball, “An Evening of Romance, Revelry, and Artistry,” utilizing the style of the Italian Renaissance. The event, co-chaired by Mimi Murley and Leslie Henner Burns and Trustee co-chair Terrence Truax, raised nearly $1.5 million for the organization.

pl ainsong

Quem terra, pontus aetheraGregorian Chant, named after Pope Gregory I (ca. 540–604), is the term applied to the vast rep-ertoire of liturgical plainsong assembled over the course of several hundred years, roughly 700–1300 a.d. There are almost 3,000 existing chants in the Gregorian repertoire, with texts specific to

each day of the Roman Catholic Church’s liturgi-cal year. The chant “Quem terra, pontus aethera” was composed by Venantius Fortunatus (530–609), bishop of Poitiers, and has been an import-ant part of devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary since the early middle ages.

QUEM TERRA, PONTUS, AETHERA THE GOD WHOM EARTH, SEA, AND SKY

Quem terra, pontus, aethera The God whom earth, sea, and skyColunt, adorant, praedicant, Honor, adore, and proclaim,Trinam regentem machinam Who over their threefold fabric reigns,Claustrum Mariae baiulat. The Virgin’s spotless womb contains.

Cui luna, sol, et omnia The God whose will by moon, and sun,Deserviunt per tempora, And all things in due course is done,Perfusa caeli gratia, Is borne upon a Maiden’s breast,Gestant puellae viscera. By fullest heavenly grace possessed.

Beata Mater munere, How blest that Mother, in whose shrineCujus, supernus Artifex, The great Artificer Divine,Mundum pugillo continens, Whose hand contains the earth and sky,Ventris sub arca clausus est. Vouchsafed, as in His ark, to lie.

Beata coeli nuntio, Blest, in the message Gabriel brought;Foecunda sancto Spiritu, Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought;Desideratus Gentibus, From whom the great Desire of earthCujus per alvum fusus est. Took human flesh and human birth.

Gloria tibi, Domine, All honor, laud, and glory be,Qui natus es de Virgine, O Jesu Virgin-born, to Thee,Cum Patre, et sancto Spiritu, Whom with the Father we adore,In sempiterna saecula. Amen. And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen.

josquin des prezBorn ca. 1450–55; near San Quentin, FranceDied August 27, 1521; Condé-sur-l’Escaut, France

Missus est Gabriel angelusJosquin des Prez is considered one of the great-est composers of the Renaissance, though many details of his life remain a mystery for present-day scholars. Despite the lack of historical evidence surrounding Josquin’s life, the fact that he was well respected by his contemporaries is certain. The great sixteenth-century printer of music, Petrucci, devoted as many as three books to the works of Josquin. No other composer was allotted more than one volume by Petrucci, and publications devoted to a single composer were extremely rare at the time.

Surviving choirbooks in the Vatican Library contain more music in honor of Mary than of

any other saint, including a substantial amount of Marian polyphony by Josquin. His “Missus est Gabriel angelus” most likely dates from his time in Rome, and compresses the text of the Annunciation to its essential elements. Although not based on any single chant, Marian plainsong is suggested throughout; indeed the opening thematic material, imitated in all four voices, recalls the tune of “Ave maris stella,” while the text “Ave Maria” provides an obvious opportunity for the use of a slightly altered version of the well-known antiphon.

MISSUS EST GABRIEL ANGELUS THE ANGEL GABRIEL WAS SENTMissus est Gabriel Angelus The angel Gabriel was sentAd Mariam Virginem, To the Virgin Mary,Nuntians ei verbum: Announcing to her the Word:Ave Maria, gratia plena: Hail Mary, full of grace:Dominus tecum: The Lord is with you,Benedicta tu in mulieribus. You are blessed among women.Alleluia. Alleluia.

jacob handlBorn ca. April 15–July 31, 1550; Ribnica, BohemiaDied July 18, 1591; Prague, Bohemia

Canite tuba in SionSlovenian composer Jacob Handl (also known as Jacobus Gallus) was one of the most skilled contrapuntalists of the High Renaissance. His professional life was centered primarily in Austria and what is now the Czech Republic. Although he was criticized in his day for the complexity of his writing—particularly in the number of voice parts he employed (he was a prime exponent of the Venetian polychoral style)—his music has enjoyed a consistently high reputation throughout history. Originally published in Handl’s Operis

musici cantionum (1589), “Canite tuba in Sion” is the responsory for the fourth Sunday in Advent, the Sunday immediately preceding Christmas. The motet does not use liturgical melody, but rather sets the principal idea of the text “Canite tuba” (Blow the trumpet) in a series of ebullient trumpet-like fanfares. In keeping with the respon-sory form of the text, “Ecce Deus” (Behold, God) is repeated in a refrain-like fashion. Although scored for five-part men’s voices, the dense texture is at once solemn and festive.

CANITE TUBA IN SION BLOW THE TRUMPET IN SIONCanite tuba in Sion, Blow the trumpet in Sion,Vocate gentes annuntiate populis et dicite: Address the nations, declare to the people and say:Ecce Deus salvator noster adveniet. Behold, God our Savior draws nigh.Annuntiate et auditum facite loquimini et clamate: Declare, make heard by speaking and shout:Ecce Deus salvator noster adveniet. Behold, God our Savior draws nigh.

tomas luis de victoriaBorn 1548; Ávila, SpainDied August 20, 1611; Madrid, Spain

Ne timeas MariaUnquestionably the most famous composer of the Spanish Renaissance, Tomas Luis de Victoria spent most of his career in Rome as a singer, organist, teacher, and composer before returning to Spain in 1587. Victoria’s many compositions, comprised exclusively of sacred works, brought him a great deal of fame during his lifetime—due in no small part to his ability to publish lavish volumes of his music in Venice. Among the ear-liest of his compositions, “Ne timeas Maria” is a

setting of the Angel Gabriel’s message to Mary. The strict voice leading and almost mathemati-cal canonic entrances employed are secondary to the rich expressiveness of the music, displaying a sophistication that sets Victoria apart from his contemporaries. Although primarily polyphonic, few moments of homophony create stark textural contrasts, as at “et vocabitur” (and he shall be called), quite possibly the most sublime moment in the motet.

NE TIMEAS MARIA FEAR NOT, MARYNe timeas Maria, Fear not, Mary,Invenisti enim gratiam apud Dominum: For you have found favor with the Lord:Ecce concipies in utero et paries filium, Behold, you shall conceive and bring forth a son,Et vocabitur Altissimi Filius. And he shall be called the Son of the Most High.

hans leo hasslerBaptized October 26, 1564; Nuremberg, GermanyDied June 8, 1612; Frankfurt, Germany

Dixit Maria ad AngelumHans Leo Hassler received his first musical train-ing from his father Isaak, a prominent organist. In his early twenties, the younger Hassler traveled to Venice to study composition and organ with Andrea Gabrieli. A lifelong Protestant, Hassler won an appointment at the Catholic court of Octavian Fugger II in Augsburg, Germany, for which he composed mass settings and sacred motets. He also devoted a significant amount of time to composing traditional German lieder and Italianate madrigals and canzonas. His lieder became important models for many younger

German composers, including Johann Staden and Johann Hermann Schein.

“Dixit Maria ad Angelum” is a setting of Mary’s response to the Angel Gabriel, as found in the Book of Luke. The structure of this short motet mimics the secular style of an Italian canzona: the opening head motive (with its characteristic long–short–short rhythmic pattern), sung first by the tenors, is imitated by all voices and repeated several times. Followed by a brief homophonic declamation at “Ecce ancilla Domini” (Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord), the clear, simple counterpoint returns to finish the motet.

DIXIT MARIA AD ANGELUM MARY SAID TO THE ANGELDixit Maria ad Angelum: Mary said to the Angel:Ecce ancilla Domini. Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Let it be done to me, according to your word.

peter philipsBorn ca. 1560; London, EnglandDied 1628; Brussels, the Netherlands

Gaudens gaudeboSecond only to William Byrd, Peter Philips was the most published English composer of the Elizabethan–Jacobean Age. Philips’s contemporar-ies placed him among the greatest composers of the day. His music was known throughout Europe. Like his predecessor Byrd, Philips distinguished himself in every genre of music he wrote, whether keyboard, instrumental, or vocal—both sacred and secular. Ostracized for being a Catholic in Protestant-dominated England, Philips traveled from England to Rome and throughout the low countries before finally settling in Brussels as an organist in the court of Archduke Albert, a posi-tion which he held until his death.

“Gaudens gaudebo” was first published in Philips’s Cantiones sacrae octonis vocibus (1613),

a collection of eight-voice motets for major feast days throughout the church year. This Advent motet is scored for two choirs and opens with ecstatic trumpet-like declamation, directly imitated by the alternating choir. Several of the internal phrases are set individually for each choir, with little word repetition or exchange of musical ideas between the choirs. The ebullient imitative fanfares of the opening gradually return as the text turns to the corporate praising of the Lord among all the nations (“et laudens coram universis gentibus”); this is the longest and most imitative section of the motet, capping off an intensely joy-ful declamation of praise.

GAUDENS GAUDEBO I WILL GREATLY REJOICEGaudens gaudebo in Dominum I will greatly rejoice in the LordEt exultabit anima mea in Deo meo, My soul shall be joyful in my God;Qui induit me in vestimentis salutis, For He has clothed me with the garments

of salvation,Et indumento iustitiae circumdedit me, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,Quasi sponsum decoratum corona, As a bridegroom decks himself with

ornaments,Et quasi sponsam ornatam monilibus suis, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.Sicut enim terra profert germen suum, For as the earth brings forth her bud,Et sicut hortus semen suum germinat, And as the garden causes the things that are

sown in it,Sic Dominus Deus germinabit iustitiam, To spring forth, so the Lord God will cause

righteousness,Et laudem coram universis gentibus. And praise to spring forth before all the nations.

william byrdBorn ca. 1540; London, EnglandDied July 4, 1623; Stondon Massey, Essex, England

Ecce virgo concipietWilliam Byrd, called the “Father of Musicke” by his contemporaries, was the most important composer of Elizabethan England. At the age of twenty, Byrd received his first appointment as organist and master of the choristers at Lincoln Cathedral. In 1570, he was appointed a gentleman of the Chapel Royal and quickly found his way into the graces of the court. A devout Catholic in England—then militantly Protestant—Byrd was forced to go underground for much of his sacred work, composing Latin masses and motets for services held in secret. Byrd’s influence over all

aspects of Renaissance composition cannot be overstated: he not only changed the face of church music, but he also resurrected the English song and virtually created the verse anthem.

Published in 1605 in the first of two volumes known as Gradualia (a compilation of Byrd’s motets for the major liturgical feast days), the sim-ple text of “Ecce virgo concipiet” informs Byrd’s restrained approach to polyphonic counterpoint. The polyphonic flow is interrupted by sweet suspensions and a myriad of phrase apexes from other vocal lines.

ECCE VIRGO CONCIPIET BEHOLD, A VIRGIN SHALL CONCEIVEEcce virgo concipiet et pariet filium: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bring forth

a son:Et vocabitur nomen eius Emmanuel. And shall call his name Emmanuel.

I Wonder as I Wander (Arranged by John Rutter)

Once hailed as the “Dean of American ballad-eers” by Time magazine, composer and musical folklorist John Jacob Niles enjoyed an extensive performance career spanning seventy years that included concerts at the White House, Carnegie Hall, and the first Newport Folk Festival. It was during an expedition through the Appalachians with photographer Doris Ulmann that Niles found the inspiration for “I Wonder as I Wander.” Niles writes,

The place was Murphy, North Carolina, and the time was July 1933. The Morgan family, revivalists all, were about to be ejected by

the police after having camped in the town square for some little time, cooking, washing, hanging their wash from the Confederate monument. . . . Preacher Morgan and his wife pled poverty; they had to hold one more [camp] meeting in order to buy enough gas to get out of town. It was then that Annie Morgan came out—a tousled, unwashed blond, and very lovely. She sang the first three lines of the verse of “I Wonder as I Wander.” At twenty-five cents a performance, I tried to get her to sing all the song. After eight tries, I had only three lines of verse, a garbled frag-ment of melodic material—and a magnificent


COMMENTS

idea. With the writing of additional verses and the development of the original melodic material, “I Wonder as I Wander” came into being. I sang it for five years in my concerts before it caught on.

John Rutter’s simple setting of this haunting ballad-like carol begins with a lone solo voice. The lilting choral underpinning elicits an “outdoorsy” lullaby-esque feeling, as if the Virgin Mary could be singing to the newly born Christ Child.

I WONDER AS I WANDERI wonder as I wander out under the sky,How Jesus the Savior did come for to die.For poor ornery people like you and like I,I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

When Mary birthed Jesus ’twas in a cow’s stall,With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all.But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall,And the promise of ages it then did recall.

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

jacobus clemens non papaBorn ca. 1510; Middleburg, the NetherlandsDied ca. 1556; Diksmuide, the Netherlands

O Maria vernans rosaJacobus Clemens non Papa was one of the most prolific composers of the early sixteenth century. (He rendered his name as such to distinguish himself from Pope Clemens VII and the poet Jacobus Papa, both of whom were contemporar-ies.) Born in the Netherlands, Clemens centered his musical career in modern-day Belgium and Holland, yet his output of nearly five hundred motets, masses, magnificats, Souterliedekens (Dutch metrical psalms), and secular songs were widely published throughout Europe.

The text of “O Maria vernans rosa” may seem strange for inclusion in a Christmas concert. After all, the opening phrase calls Mary a “spring rose.” In the entire motet, there are no references to the Baby Jesus or typical scenes of Advent; rather, the simple handmaiden—gazing adoringly on

the Christ Child—is the subject of this beautiful motet. In “O Maria vernans rosa,” Clemens works in long paragraphs of thirteen-, fourteen-, even eighteen-bar phrases. Although he is schooled in the ways of Flemish counterpoint, the com-poser relies less on the smaller building blocks of imitation, canon, and fugue, and more on the melodic and harmonic possibilities that arise. The initiating melody resembles the Gregorian “Ave Maria” chant but quickly develops its own expan-sive curvature. Each section of the text creates its own musical treatment; each leads inevitably and organically into the next. There is a good deal of subtle give-and-take as far as motion and dynam-ics occur, and even if the top soprano line looks operatic, even heroic, on the page, the result has the quality of enchanting serenity.

fr ancisco lópez capill asBorn ca. 1605–8; Mexico City, MexicoDied January 18, 1674; Mexico City, Mexico

Cui luna, sol et omniaComposer Francisco López Capillas was consid-ered to be among the finest composers in New Spain, but his early years were not well docu-mented. Some sources contend he was born in Spain and was a pupil of Juan de Riscos, the kapellmeister of Jaén, in south-central Spain; it is now widely believed he was native to Mexico City. López Capillas traveled to Mexico City in 1648, where he was hired by the cathedral organist Fabian Ximeno. He was later appointed choirmaster and organist of the cathedral in 1654; as supervisor of the musical services, he presented the cathedral with several excellently illumi-nated choirbooks. López Capillas’s compositions are considered among the best written in New Spain; his eight masses, eight magnificats, and

numerous other religious works are composed with extraordinary artfulness.

In “Quem terra, pontus, aethera” López Capillas uses the second of five stanzas from the epon-ymous Marian hymn as the text for this short motet. (The full hymn was sung in plainsong at the beginning of these concerts.) Although the composer never resorts to outright picture-paint-ing in “Cui luna, sol et omnia,” the piece is color-ful and has great variety and contrast within its fifty-five measures. Structurally, the motet is in A–B–A form, where the middle section is clearly a one-to-the-bar dance. The outer portions have a quiet grace that almost masks a sophisticated use of contrapuntal, imitative effects.

CUI LUNA, SOL ET OMNIA THE GOD WHOSE WILL BY MOON AND SUN

Cui luna, sol et omnia The god whose will by moon and sunDeserviunt per tempora, And all things in due course is done,Perfusa coeli gratia Is borne upon a Maiden’s breast,Gestant puellae viscera. By fullest heavenly grace possessed.

Touro-louro-louro! (Arranged by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker)

Born in Monteux, France, in 1614, Nicolas Saboly joined the Congregation of the Annunciation at the Jesuit College at Carpentras at the age of fourteen, and was received into the order two years later, in 1630. He must have had some musical distinction (in addition to the law degree which he was awarded in 1658), for he served as organist and kapellmeister at no fewer than five cathedral churches throughout France. The carol “Touro-louro-louro!” first appeared in a remarkable compilation called Recueils de Noëls Provençaux, which contained some sixty-nine

carols, all but seven of which are in the Provençal dialect. “Touro-louro-louro” is sometimes called “The Peasant’s Pilgrimage” and, like many a carol, is rooted in folklore. Like another familiar French carol, “Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella,” it deals with a group of people scurrying to the manger. The animated tempo indicates a rather fast pace, although no one actually seems to be running. There is cajoling, hesitation, convincing, and excitement as one traveler looks for company, another for his neighbor’s blessing.

TOURO -LOURO -LOURO!Touro louro louro! Cocks are crowing,Though there is no dawning light,For the stars are brightly glowingIn the Holy Land tonight.“Who’ll walk with me?” (“Not I, not I!”)Oh, come now.Should I ne’er return a gain,Say the sev’n Psalms in remembrance.A lack a-dayLike a lonely, wayward childAlone I go.

Touro louro louro! Winds are blowing,Making fingers blue with cold,Trudging wearily I’m going,Suff ’ring miseries untold.“I must find rest,” (“No rest for you.”)Oh, come now, good farmer,Let me in for just one night.In the barn I would be sleeping.And if you don’t, where can I go?If you’re unkind, no rest I’ll find.

(Please turn the page quietly.)


COMMENTS

Touro louro louro! Now I’m happy,For I’ve found the manger here,On the hay, inside the stable,Lies the wondrous child so dear.“Why art thou sad?” (“Be strong and glad”)Oh, Mary!All the world will praise thy name,For to us is born a Savior,Saint Joseph too, blessings on you.Let us unite in singing nowTo one we love.

cristóbal de mor alesBorn ca. 1500; Seville, SpainDied September–October, 1553; Marchena, Spain

Pastores dicite, quidnam vidistisOf the famous trio of composers who typified sixteenth-century Spanish church polyphony, Cristóbal de Morales was the oldest. Born in Seville, he probably received his music edu-cation at the cathedral there. Morales became kapellmeister at Ávila (1526–28) and Plasencia (1521–31) before moving to Italy. In 1535, he was appointed to the Sistine Chapel Choir in Rome as one of several Spanish singers. Morales resigned from the choir in 1545 and returned to Spain, where he was first maestro at Toledo, then in Andalucia, where he directed music for the duke of Arcos at Marchena until 1551. His final position was as kapellmeister at Malaga Cathedral.

Morales’s surviving output is almost entirely liturgical. In the decades following his death, the composer’s works became known through-out Europe. Theorists continued to praise his

music into the eighteenth century. Juan Bermudo, who knew Morales personally, perhaps gave the best short description of Morales’s music in the Declaracion de instrumentos in 1555:

. . . his music possesses the charm and pleasing sound of Spanish music, yet at the same time it does not lack the profun-dity, the technical skill, and the artifice of foreign music.

“Pastores dicite” demonstrates this charm and skill as the composer effortlessly manages the strictures of liturgical counterpoint while man-aging to insert an energetic exchange of “noe” between voices, bringing to mind the sound of chatty shepherds, spreading abroad the news they received from the angels.

PASTORES DICITE, QUIDNAM VIDISTIS WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN, SHEPHERDS? TELL US!

Pastores dicite, quidnam vidistis, What have you seen, shepherds? Tell us!Et annuntiate Christi nativitatem, noe. Announce the birth of Christ, Noel!

Infantem vidimus pannis involutum We have seen the new-born babeEt choros angelorum laudantes salvatorem, noe. And the choirs of angels praising the Lord, Noel!

Quem pastores laudavere (Arranged by Harry Christophers)

The son of a Lutheran pastor, Michael Praetorius was educated in Frankfurt and Zerbst, and by 1595 he entered the service of Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick in Wolfenbüttel. He was made kapellmeister in 1604, and after Julius’s death in 1613 spent several years working for the elector of Saxony in Dresden. One of the most famous musi-cians in Germany during this time, he served in various posts in Halle, Kassel, Leipzig, Nuremberg, and Bayreuth, among others, all while serving as kapellmeister at the Wolfenbüttel court until his death on his fiftieth birthday in 1621. The most versatile and wide-ranging German composer of his generation, Praetorius devoted most of his life to church music, publishing more than twenty col-lections, mostly settings of Lutheran chorales.

“Quem pastores laudavere” is from Praetorius’s late collection Puericinium of 1621, in which all pieces contain four treble parts written for

a choir of children. The text is one of the most traditional at Christmas, from a fourteenth-cen-tury German carol, still sung in many Lutheran churches. “Quem pastores” is one of the dis-tinctive Wechselgesänge (Antiphonal songs) of Germanic Christmas hymnody, and was usually performed at the Vespers of Christmas Eve or the torchlit Christnacht (Christmas night), when the annunciation to the shepherds was a central theme. When performed in Wechsel, it was sung by four boys (or groups of boys in unison, or even small consorts of choirs) who stood holding candles, ideally in high galleries on four sides of the church. Each sang one line of each four-line stanza, so that the tune seemed to revolve in the air, as if sung by circling angels.

pierre de manchicourtBorn ca. 1510; Béthune, FranceDied October 5, 1564; Madrid, Spain

Reges terraePierre de Manchicourt is among the innumer-able Renaissance composers whose biographies are mostly unknown. Before the more homo-phonic style favored by later composers became popular, many wrote in an older Franco-Flemish polyphonic style. Manchicourt began his musical training during the 1520s as a choirboy at Arras Cathedral in France. Before the age of thirty, he became the director of the cathedral choir in Tours, France, and by age thirty-five he had relocated to Tournai, the Netherlands, to ful-fill an appointment there as a kapellmeister. In 1559, Manchicourt moved to Madrid and became

choirmaster in its Flemish chapel of Philip II, a position he held until his death.

Except for a few chansons and secular motets, the bulk of Manchicourt’s output is comprised of masses and motets. His motets showcase three separate stages of early sixteenth-cen-tury motet development. “Reges terrae,” which is based on the Gospel readings for the Feast of the Epiphany, is scored for six voices. The two-part motet passes its melodic material from soprano to bass in the first portion, followed by an inverted section, in which the melody moves from bass to soprano.

REGES TERRAE THE KINGS OF THE EARTHReges terrae congregati sunt The kings of the earth assembledConverunt in unum dicentes, And gathered together into one place saying,Eamus in Judaeam et inquiramus: Let us go into Judea and ask,Ubi est qui natus est rex magnus “Where is he that is born a great king,Cuius stellam vidimus. Whose star we have seen?”Alleluia. Alleluia.

Et venientes invenerunt puerum And coming in, they found the childCum Maria matre eius With Mary his motherEt procidentes adoraverunt eum And falling down they adored himOfferentes ei aurum, thus, et myrrham. Offering him gold, frankincense, and myrrh.Alleluia. Alleluia.

In dulci jubiloOne of the oldest German hymns, “In dulci jubilo” was first found in a Leipzig University manu-script dating from around 1400, and is believed to be the oldest of all macaronic (mixed-lan-guage) hymns. The original song text, alternat-ing between German and Latin, is thought to

have been written by the German Dominican monk Heinrich Seuse around 1328. According to folklore, Seuse heard angels sing these words and joined them in a dance of worship. The nine-teenth-century English composer Robert Lucas de Pearsall writes,


COMMENTS

The original melody is to be found in an old German book published in the year 1570. Even there it is called “a very ancient song for Christmas Eve”; so that there can be no doubt that it is one of those old Roman Catholic melodies that Luther, on account of their beauty, retained in the Protestant Service. It was formerly sung in the processions that took place on Christmas Eve, and is so still in those remote parts of Germany where people yet retain old customs.

The tune was beloved of German Protestant composers, including Buxtehude and Bach, and Praetorius himself set it no fewer than twelve times. The version sung on these concerts, an eight-voiced motet for double choir, was pub-lished in his Musae Sionae V (1607). Here Praetorius sets only a single verse, but demon-strates his immense creativity by interspersing fragments of the famous melody with extensive imitations, giving it the feeling of a fantasia.

IN DULCI JUBILO IN QUIET JOYIn dulci jubilo, In quiet joyNun singet und seid froh! Now sing with hearts aglow!Unsers Herzens Wonne liegt Our delight and pleasure liesIn praesepio, In a manger,Und leuchtet als die Sonne Like sunshine is our treasureMatris in gremio, In the mother’s lap,Alpha es et O! Thou art Alpha and Omega!

The Babe of BethlehemThough it may have origins in German roman-ticism or the “singing societies” tradition of England, the practice of communal hymn-sing-ing is very American indeed. One particularly unique tradition is “shape-note” singing, which is notably indigenous to the southern and mid-western regions of the United States. Perhaps the most widely known hymnbooks of this style of singing (called “shape-note” because of the system developed in which the shapes of the note heads represented various tones of the scale) was Southern Harmony, the brain-child of one William Walker. Published in 1835, Southern Harmony comprises about ninety folk hymns compiled by Walker himself, among them

“Amazing Grace”—now one of the most beloved hymns of all time—and this selection, “The Babe of Bethlehem.”

One may be accustomed to hearing such hymns sung in a rather devotional, even solemn way. However, this arrangement—in true shape-note style—is rather different: a raucous delight in proclaiming the birth of the Christ Child propels each of the verses. The hymn, which originally had eight verses, could be sung by a soloist, a quartet, or a large group of almost any size. It can be sung in unison, in octaves, or in harmony from two to eight parts depending on just how “the Spirit moves.” Although the hymn is written in a minor key, the mood is positively joyous.

His parents poor in earthly store,To entertain the strangerThey found no bed to lay his head,But in the ox’s manger;No royal things, as used by kings,were seen by those that found him,But in the hay the stranger lay,With swaddling bands around him.

On the same night a glorious lightTo shepherds there appeared,Bright angels came in shining flame,They saw and greatly feared;The angels said, Be not afraid,Although we much alarm you.We do appear good news to bear,As now we will inform you.

The city’s name is Bethlehem,In which God hath appointed,This glorious morn a Savior’s born,For him God hath anointed;By this you’ll know, if you will go,To see this little stranger.His lovely charms in Mary’s arms,Both lying in a manger.

When this was said, straightway was madeA glorious sound from heaven,Each flaming tongue an anthem sung,To men a Savior’s given,In Jesus’s name, the glorious theme.We elevate our voices,At Jesus’s birth be peace on earth,Meanwhile all heaven rejoices.

fr ancisco guerreroBorn ca. 1528; Seville, SpainDied November 8, 1599; Seville, Spain

A un niño llorandoAlthough his music is relatively neglected today, Francisco Guerrero was second in importance only to Victoria during the Spanish Renaissance. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Guerrero received his musical training in Spain—rather than Rome—and was a prolific composer of secu-lar songs, many of which he later reset with sacred texts. The effort and money he dedicated to pub-lishing his music garnered him a certain degree of fame during his lifetime—as far away as South America. His music remained widely performed in the cathedrals of Spain and New Spain for more than two hundred years after his death, although

recent years have seen a resurgence in perfor-mances of Guerrero’s works.

In the devotional villancico “A un niño llorando,” Guerrero sets the innocent, intimate, and magical text in a moderate triple meter—per-haps a nod to the Trinity. Based on the first line of the piece, “A un niño llorando al hielo” (A little child crying in the icy cold), one might expect this text setting to be in a slow minor mode to create an austere effect for the scene, but Guerrero does the opposite. He creates warmth with the harmo-nies and the layering of vocal textures contrasts with the solo copla stanza.

A UN NIÑO LLORANDO TO A LITTLE BOY CRYINGA un niño llorando al hielo To a little boy crying in the icy coldVan tres Reyes a adorar, Come three kings to adore him,Porque el niño puede dar Because the child can bestowReynos, vida, gloria y çielo. Kingdoms, life, glory, and heaven.

trond k vernoBorn October 20, 1945; Oslo, Norway

Corpus Christi CarolNorwegian-born Trond Kverno studied sacred music, music theory, and choral conducting at the Oslo Conservatory. He has taught music theory at the Oslo Conservatory since 1971, and in 1994 was appointed professor of church music, specializing in composition and improvisation. Ordained a priest in the Old Catholic Church in 1996, Kverno has devoted his career primarily to the composition of sacred vocal music; in fact, several of his melodies appear in The Norwegian Sunday Eucharist and the Norwegian Hymnbook of 1985.

Although the text of “Corpus Christi Carol” is filled with imagery, Kverno’s approach to the

medieval hymn is straightforward and instantly appealing. One might have imagined colorful, springing arpeggios to go with the “falcon” idea, or chromatically drooping melismas to enhance the idea of a knight, wounded and bleeding. Kverno, on the other hand, creates his own ancient-sounding carol: repetitive, haunting, and predominantly in the minor key. Only the surpris-ing fortissimo interjections (especially where the text proclaims “Body of Christ” written in stone) disturb the peaceful nature of the setting. Solo soprano lines are set against either a vocal quar-tet or the full ensemble to create any additional musical interest.

CORPUS CHRISTI CAROLLully, lulley, lully, lulley,The faucon hath borne my make away.

He bare him up, he bare him down,He bare him into an orchard brown.

And in that bed there lieth a knight,His woundès bleeding both day and night.

And by that bedes side there kneeleth a may,And she weepeth both night and day.

And by that bedes side there standeth a stone:CORPUS CHRISTI written thereon.

Gaudete! from Two Medieval LyricsCommissioned in 1995 by Marshall Rutter and Terry Knowles

Steven Sametz is the Ronald J. Ulrich Professor of Music and the director of choral activities at Lehigh University. He is also the founding director of the Lehigh University Choral Union. After completing his undergraduate studies at Yale University and the Hochschule für Musik in Frankfurt, he received his master of music and doctor of musical arts degrees from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Sametz’s longstanding relationship with Chanticleer has resulted in some of the ensemble’s most beloved concert repertoire, such as “I Have Had Singing” and “in time of,” the latter of which was recorded on the Grammy Award–winning album Colors of Love.

For the 2009 collaboration between the Lehigh Choral Union and Chanticleer, which produced the cycle Not an End to Loving, Sametz shared these remarks:

Chanticleer represents the highest levels of professional choral singing, just as we strive

to achieve the highest levels of amateur choral art. At the heart of this—the love of singing, and doing it to our utmost—we have every-thing in common. I am deeply honored that the Choral Union has chosen this means of showing its pride in what we have accom-plished over the years; creating new music shows us that there is no end of loving (as the title indicates), especially the love that brings us together as singers.

“Gaudete!” functions as the ecstatic and highly rhythmic second piece of Two Medieval Lyrics (the first being “There is no rose of such virtue”). This jubilant song of praise was the result of a 1995 commission for Chanticleer by Marshall Rutter and Terry Knowles. The short anthem makes its great effect by combining irregular, simple, and compound meters with articulations and word-stresses which underline the natural buoyancy of the text. Vocal textures, sonorities, and dynamic contrast plunge the listener into a whirlwind of celebratory sound.

GAUDETE! REJOICE!Gaudete, Gaudete! Rejoice, Rejoice!Christus est natus Christ is bornEx Maria virgine, Of the Virgin Mary,Gaudete! Rejoice!Tempus ad est gratiae, It is now the time of graceHoc quod optabamus; That we have desired;Carmina laetitiae, Let us sing songs of joy,Devote redamus Let us give devotionDeus homo factus est, God was made man,Natura mirante; And nature marvels;Mundus renovatus est The world was renewedA Christo regnante.

Ave MariaGerman composer and arranger Franz Biebl studied music at the Humanistic Gymnasium in Amberg, and received degrees in composi-tion and choral conducting at the State Music Academy in Munich. He strove to expand the German folksong repertoire and composed hundreds of arrangements for all types of choral ensembles. Biebl’s setting of the Marian antiphon “Ave Maria” explores the richly sonorous possi-bilities of double-chorus writing for men’s voices.

Between each section of text, a soloist chants a shorter bit of scripture that commemorates the Incarnation, and the rich chordal sonorities of Biebl’s music create a satisfying blend of medie-val chant and warm, twentieth-century harmony. The version performed in these concerts, as well as two other editions for mixed choir, have been published by Hinshaw Music of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, under the Chanticleer Choral Series label.

A Spotless RoseBy the time of his death at the age of ninety in 1983, Herbert Howells was revered as one of the last century’s most distinguished English choral composers, representing the tradition of such as Walton, Elgar, and Vaughan Williams. In his church music, Howells combines influences from many of these composers and displays

a keen sense of choral textures appropriate for resonant cathedral acoustics. Howells’s setting of the fourteenth-century poem “A Spotless Rose” is one of three “carol anthems” dating from 1918–20. Its free-flowing, almost meter-less movement evokes the character of plainsong.

A SPOTLESS ROSEA spotless rose is growing,Sprung from a tender root,Of ancient seers’ foreshowing,Of Jesse promised fruit;Its fairest bud unfolds to lightAmid the cold, cold winter,And in the dark midnight.

The Rose of which I am singing,Whereof Isaiah said,Is from its sweet root springingIn Mary, purest Maid:For through our God’s great love and might,The Blessed Babe she bare usIn a cold, cold winter’s night.

I Sing the BirthCharles Hubert Hastings Parry’s influence on the music of Victorian England cannot be under-stated. Although his early professional life was spent as an underwriter for Lloyd’s of London, his aspirations for a musical career saw their initial fruition through George Grove, who engaged Parry as subeditor for his new Dictionary of Music

and Musicians, a massive enterprise for which Parry contributed over one hundred articles. Through the influence of Grove, Parry was also appointed professor of composition and music history at the newly formed Royal College of Music, concurrent with a similar position at Oxford. By the 1890s, he was regarded as the

unofficial composer laureate of Great Britain, composing a setting of the Magnificat for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, gaining a knighthood in 1898, as well as being named baronet in 1902.

The poem “I Sing the Birth,” which Parry so exuberantly sets to music, was written centu-ries earlier by the talented, irascible, and witty Renaissance dramatist Ben Jonson, whom some scholars praise as highly as Shakespeare. Parry’s setting of Jonson’s carol has all the earmarks of

the composer’s later choral works. Besides the characteristic choice of an English text, “I Sing the Birth” evinces Parry’s mastery of voice lead-ing and counterpoint. The overall effect is neither scholarly nor stuffy: an onrush of vitality bursts from the page and is seldom restrained. The composer, with his four symphonies, numerous chamber pieces, and almost all of his sacred cho-ral music finished by this date, is at once serious and smiling.

I SING THE BIRTHI sing the birth was born tonight,The author both of life and light;The angels so did sound it.And like the ravish’d shepherds said,Who saw the light, and were afraid,Yet search’d, and true they found it.

The Son of God, the eternal king,That did us all salvation bring,And freed the soul from danger;He whom the whole world could not take,The Word, which heaven and earth did make,Was now laid in a manger.

What comfort by him do we win,Who made himself the price of sin,To make us heirs of glory!To see this babe, all innocence;A martyr born in our defense:Can man forget this story?

Sir David Willcocks was knighted in 1977 and also won a Grammy Award in 1963 for his record-ing of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem with the Bach Choir.

“I Saw Three Ships” is a jaunty carol with slightly more mystical undertones, and it is thought that the ships referenced in the verses originally carried relics of the three magi, or the “Three Kings of Cologne”—so called because

their skulls are preserved as sacred relics in the grand cathedral of Cologne, Germany. This sev-enteenth-century carol, translated into countless languages since its first documented appearances in 1666, has always been immensely popular. None can deny its sense of excited anticipa-tion, the rollicking joy contained in the music, or the feeling of Christmas morning delight it carries within.

I SAW THREE SHIPSI saw three ships come sailing in,On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day,I saw three ships come sailing in,On Christmas Day in the morning.

And what was in those ships all three?On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day,And what was in those ships all three?On Christmas Day in the morning.

Schlaf wohl, du Himmelsknabe du (Arranged by Hugh Keyte and Andrew Parrott)

As with many carols that have been handed down through the centuries, the origins of “Schlaf wohl, du Himmelsknabe du” are obscured by history. Though the text of the carol has been set to multiple melodies, the best-known version heard on these concerts was documented by Heinrich Reimann (1850–1906), musicologist and organist from Silesia. Reimann collected the melody from a folk singer from Glatz county in

Bohemia (now Kłodzko, Poland) and included it in his 1895 collection Das deutsche geistliche Lied von der ältesten bis auf unsere Zeit nach den Quellen (The German sacred song from the earliest time to our own, after the sources). Originally titled “Wiegenlied der Hirten an der Krippe zu Bethlehem,” it has come to be known as “The Shepherds’ Cradle Song” in English-speaking countries. The text of the song was

found among the writings of Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart (1739–1791), a poet and musician born several generations before Reinmann, who classified it as a sacred folk song from Silesia.

Although most certainly a Christmas text, several verses look forward to the Passion of Christ; a refrain at the end of each verse, however, encour-ages the heaven-sent baby to sleep.

SCHLAF WOHL, DU HIMMELSKNABE DU SLEEP WELL, YOU CHILD OF HEAVENSchlaf wohl, du Himmelsknabe du, Sleep well, you child of Heaven,Schlaf wohl, du süßes Kind!

Susanni (Arranged by Robert Shaw/Alice Parker)

The origins of this simple carol date from the 1600s. The earliest known version of the text begins with the lines “From Heaven above the angels came,” which in German is “Vom Himmel Hoch,” though this tune is more commonly known as “Susanni,” so as not to be confused with a chorale of Bach that begins with the same words. In the original text (found in the Kölner Gesangbuch of 1623), angels descend from heaven,

bringing instruments with them—harps, lutes, violins, and a recorder or two—and encourage one and all to sing “peace on earth, from shore to shore.” Robert Shaw and Alice Parker’s arrange-ment borrows from a later version of the song (found in a collection called Early Bodleian Music of 1901) which takes us directly to the manger scene: the little child is there, Mary his “mild” mother also, and ourselves, praying for help.

SUSANNIA little child there is born,Eia, Eia, susanni, susanni, susanni,And he sprang out of Jesse’s thorn.Alleluia, Alleluia,To save us all that were forlorn.

Now Jesus was the childès name,Eia, Eia, susanni, susanni, susanni,And Mary mild, she is his dame,Alleluia, Alleluia,And so our sorrow is turned to game.

How Sweet Is LoveMichael Paget’s “How Sweet Is Love” is an adapta-tion of two Dutch carols from the late seventeenth century. Although Percy Dearmer suggested in his preface to the first edition of The Oxford Book of Carols that carols are “songs with a religious impulse that are simple, hilarious, popular and modern,” this song is by no means hilarious and doesn’t even sound very modern (even though it

was composed in the second half of the twentieth century). Instead, Paget instructs that the short song be sung “gracefully.” Each of the three verses consists of only twelve bars of music, the last three measures being a refrain which repeats the Latin words, “Amor, amor, quam dulcis est amor!” How sweet is love!

Mary’s little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep,Sleep in comfort, slumber deep:We will rock you, we will rock you:We will serve you all we can,Darling, darling little man.

La Virgen lava pañales (Arranged by Robert Shaw/Alice Parker)

Where most Christmas carols tend to be jubi-lant exultations of joy or hushed lullabies, “La Virgen lava pañales” is more pensive and somber. In this arrangement, a four-part men’s chorus

accompanies a solo alto. The haunting, mystical melody in a minor mode unfolds slowly, calling shepherds to “worship the Child who has just been born.”

LA VIRGEN LAVA PAÑALES THE VIRGIN WASHES SWADDLING CLOTHES

La virgen lava pañales, The Virgin washes swaddling clothes,Y los tiende en el romero And keeps them in rosemary;Y los pajaritos cantan, And the little birds sing,Y el agua se va riendo. And the water runs along laughing.

Pastores, venid; pastores, llegad Shepherds, come; shepherds, draw nearA adorar al niño que ha nacido ya. To worship the Child who has just been born.

El niño, Dios, se ha perdido, The Child, God, is lost,Y todos le estan buscando. And everyone is looking for him.A la orillita del mar At the seashorePeces estaba pescando. He was fishing for fish.

Pastores, venid; pastores, llegad Shepherds, come; shepherds, draw nearA adorar al niño que ha nacido ya. To worship the Child who has just been born.

tr aditional american carol

Away in a Manger (Arranged by Robert Shaw/Alice Parker)

“Away in a Manger” has been set to music in over forty iterations. The text’s origin is unclear; the first two stanzas appeared as “Luther’s Cradle Song” in several late nineteenth-century reli-gious song primers, and a third stanza (“Be near me, Lord Jesus”) was added several years later, again attributed to Martin Luther. Luther had no hand in the composition of either the tune or the text, however. The most popular musical

setting in the United States is commonly known as “Mueller,” and was first published by James R. Murray in his collection Dainty Songs for Little Lads and Lasses. Robert Shaw and Alice Parker’s setting of “Away in a Manger” begins with a duet, reflecting the quiet and peaceful mood of the text. The final homophonic section, reminis-cent of the hymn’s origin, possesses a quiet and unforgettable dignity.

AWAY IN A MANGERAway in a manger, no crib for His bed,The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes.But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes: I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,And stay by my cradle to watch lullaby.

rosephanye powellBorn 1962; Lanett, Alabama

A Christmas MedleyCommissioned by Chanticleer in 2017, given by Stephen K. Cassidy and Rebecca Powlan, in loving memory of Frances Margaret Andersen Cassidy

Rosephanye Powell has made a name for herself in the choral world as a conductor, composer, educator, and performer. Her research focuses on the preservation and performance of African American spirituals and gospel music. An avid choral clinician and an insightful adjudicator, she travels the world to share her expertise and her

soprano voice. Powell is the Charles A. Barkley Endowed Professor of Voice and the conductor of the Women’s Chorus at Auburn University in Alabama.

Powell’s medley is made up of three well-known African American Christmas songs. “Rise Up, Shepherd, an’ Follow” may be the most famil-iar, featuring a tenor trumpet-like call to action and syncopated rhythms. The excitement of the second portion in “Mary Had a Baby” leads to the final song, based on the carol “Come an’ See.”

RISE UP SHEPHERD AN’ FOLLOWThere’s a star in the East on Christmas morn.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.It will lead to the place where Christ was born.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.Why don’t you take good heed to the angel’s words.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.You’ll forget all your flocks an’ all your herds.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.Follow the Star of Bethlehem.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.Why don’t you leave yo’ sheep and leave yo’ lambs.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.You oughta leave yo’ ewes and leave yo’ rams.Rise up, shepherd an’ follow.

MARY HAD A BABYMary had a baby, my Lord.He was called King Jesus, yes Lord.What did they call him? King Jesus.He is called King Jesus,Mighty Counselor,King Emmanuel,Mighty God.Everlasting Father,Prince of Peace.Mary had a baby, yes Lord.

COME AN’ SEECome an’ see,Come see the Babe in the manger who’s the King.He is the coming King.He was born of a Virgin, meek and mild,He is the Son of God, the holy child,There was no room for Him in the inn,For the One who would save us from our sins.

Go tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and everywhere.Go tell it on the mountainThat Jesus Christ is born.

Chanticleer

Regarded as the world’s reigning male chorus by the New Yorker, the Grammy Award–winning ensemble Chanticleer recently celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its 1978 founding. Based in San Francisco, the group is known worldwide as an orchestra of voices for the seamless blend of its twelve male voices ranging from countertenor to bass, and for its original interpretations of vocal literature that range from Renaissance to contem-porary compositions.

Chanticleer’s 2019–20 season is the fifth under the direction of Music Director William Fred Scott. Its program Trade Winds features songs from warmer climes and the music of seago-ing peoples. Chanticleer’s popular A Chanticleer Christmas concert is heard this season in Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois before coming home for performances in Claifornia, and will be broadcast on over three hundred affiliated public radio stations nationwide. Chanticleer concludes its season with Paradise, a program that explores the many facets of heaven and includes a world premiere by composer Steven Sametz.

Inaugurated last season, Chanticleer’s Salon Series has offered intimate experiences in unusual locations throughout the Bay Area. This season opened with a Salon Series perfor-mance of Trade Winds at the Spaulding Marine Center in Sausalito, and continues with Inside Chanticleer, a five-part, one-of-a-kind look into Chanticleer’s music.

With the help of individual contributions, as well as government, foundation, and corpo-rate support, Chanticleer’s education programs engaged over 8,000 individuals last season. The Louis A. Botto Choir—an after-school honors

program for high school and college students—is now in its ninth year, adding to the ongoing program of in-school clinics, workshops, youth choral festivals in the Bay Area and around the country, Skills/LAB (an intensive summer workshop for high school students), and master classes for university students nationwide. In 2010, Chanticleer’s educational programs received the Chorus America Education Outreach Award.

Since the group began releasing recordings in 1981, it has sold well over a million albums and won two Grammy awards. The group’s recordings are distributed by Warner Classics, Chanticleer Records, Naxos, ArkivMusic, Amazon, and iTunes, among others, and are available on Chanticleer’s website. Chanticleer’s most recent studio recording, Then and There, Here and Now, was recorded for Warner Classics.

In 2008, Chanticleer’s long-standing com-mitment to commissioning and performing new works was honored with the inaugural Dale Warland/Chorus America Commissioning Award and the ASCAP/Chorus America Award for Adventurous Programming. Among the over eighty composers commissioned throughout Chanticleer’s history are Mark Adamo, Matthew Aucoin, Mason Bates, Régis Campo, Chen Yi, David Conte, Shawn Crouch, Douglas J. Cuomo, Brent Michael Davids, Anthony Davis, Gabriela Lena Frank, Guido López-Gavilan, Stacy Garrop, William Hawley, John Harbison, Jake Heggie, Jackson Hill, Kamran Ince, Jeeyoung Kim, Tania León, Jaakko Mäntyjärvi, Michael McGlynn, Peter Michaelides, Nico Muhly, John Musto, Tarik O’Regan, Roxanna Panufnik, Stephen Paulus, Shulamit Ran, Bernard Rands, Steven Sametz, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, Jan Sandström, Paul Schoenfield, Steven Stucky, John Tavener, Augusta Read Thomas, Janika Vandervelde, and Zhou Tian.

In 2014, Chorus America conferred the inaugural Brazeal Wayne Dennard Award on Chanticleer’s Music Director Emeritus Joseph H. Jennings to acknowledge his contribu-tion to the African American choral tradi-tion over his twenty-five years (1983–2009) as singer and music director with Chanticleer. His

hundred-plus arrangements of African American gospel, spirituals, and jazz works for Chanticleer have received thousands of perfor-mances worldwide—live and broad-cast—and have been recorded by Chanticleer for Warner Classics and Chanticleer Records.

Named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer was founded in 1978 by tenor Louis A. Botto, who sang in the ensemble until 1989 and served as artistic director until his death in 1997. Chanticleer first became known for its interpretations of Renaissance music, and later served as a pioneer in the revival of South American baroque music. The group was named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America in 2008,

and inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame the same year. William Fred Scott

was named music director in 2014. A native of Georgia, Scott is the former assistant conductor to Robert Shaw at the Atlanta Symphony, former artistic director of the Atlanta Opera, and an organist and educator.

A non-profit corporation, Chanticleer has received major grants from the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Dunard Fund/

USA, the Bernard Osher Foundation, the National Lottery through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, the Bob Ross Foundation, Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Davee FoundationThe Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is deeply grateful to The Davee Foundation for its many years of generosity. Gifts from The Davee Foundation have provided vital support for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and general operations, and have provided critical funding for the creation of innovative programming and establishment of strategic initiatives of the CSOA.

Founded by former CSOA Life Trustee, Ken M. Davee and his wife, Adeline Barry Davee, The Davee Foundation incorporated on November 5, 1964 as a not-for-profit family foundation, making annual year-end gifts to organizations they supported. Under the direction of Ken Davee’s second wife, Ruth Dunbar Davee, the Foundation became a leader in the philanthropic community throughout Chicago and beyond, providing significant grant funding in the fields of medicine, arts and culture, science, public affairs, and education.

The Davee Foundation dissolved in 2019, making final endowment grants to keep the memories of the Davees alive. The CSOA is greatly honored to be the recipient of a gift to its endowment, establishing the Ruth D. and Ken M. Davee Fund for Orchestral Excellence.
