PrograM Notes Brad Robin (b. 1969) Fracture for piano, percussion and fixed media (2016) Duration: 5 minutesA character piece, Fracture combines pre-recorded and processed acous-matic sounds resembling water and coins with a piano and drum duet to examine and explore jazz influenced idioms of jazz harmony and rhythm. Through the course of the piece, the recorded elements merge with and eventually envelop and overwhelm the acoustic instruments.

Kurt Westerberg (b. 1950) Two Orphic Hymns (2017) Duration: 10 minutesTwo Orphic Hymns is the second recent work of mine for an ensemble that features baroque instruments. Both works owe their genesis to a demon-stration/presentation by violinist Brandi Berry for DePaul’s student composer studio class on extended instrumental techniques in baroque string music. This initially led to a work (Baroco) for baroque violin and harpsichord that was premiered by Brandi and Mabel Kwan in February of 2016. The first version of Two Orphic Hymns was titled Orbits and consisted only of what is now “To the Stars”. This owed its existence to a suggestion by Brandi that I compose a work for the Bach and Beethoven ensemble to perform on a January 25, 2017 DePaul Humanities Center event. Brand even went so far as to suggest a text that was a translation (from 1792) by Thomas Taylor of Orphic hymn VI. This text is one of 87 brief Greek poems that were created sometime during the late Hellenistic or early Roman era and reflected the philosophies/beliefs of Orphism, a cult that honored and believed itself to be descended from the teachings of Orpheus.

I finally had time to compose the work in December and found its imagery (stars, lights, fires, flames) both compelling and inspiring – imagery that easily fit the many festivals of light that take place in December and imagery that was particularly needed at the end of 2017. This first version was completed by January 2 of the 2017. I was pleased by both the ensemble’s perfor-mance and by the work itself and this led to a revision of “To the Stars” and the creation of a setting of hymn IV, “To Fire”.

In both settings, the two string instruments are used as a duo that provides support to the vocal part as well as presenting its own group of musical ideas that amplify textual images. The string and vocal parts, while using “modern” pitch idioms, refer to music of the Baroque through the use of dotted rhythms, fanfare motives, trills, terraced dynamics, repeated chords, pizzicato “walking bass” patterns, etc. The essence of the work is its presen-

New music Depaul • may 5, 2017program Notes

tation and elaboration of the rhythm and imagery of the text. A third hymns setting (“To Night”) is almost completed, so the Two Orphic Hymns will soon become three. My sincere thanks to Brandi Berry and to the Bach and Beethoven ensemble: I greatly appreciate their willingness to take on an unusual and somewhat risky project and make it work.

Brad Robin Steam for electronics (2016) Duration: 10 minutesMany of my compositions revolve around transformation of materials. Com-positions often evolve around creating a “stream” of material which can then be transformed and manipulated to achieve many aesthetic, intuitive, and creative ends. In Steam, I used segments of source recordings to generate granulated streams of materials according to parameters I could control and limit, such as time between grains, grain size, transposition, and panning location. After various streams were produced, I was able sculpt a musical form. Steam begins with a granulated section and closes with a phasing section reminiscent of the work done by Steve Reich. The first part intro-duces the materials with sound gestures, wherein transformations occur be-tween beans, bubbling, dripping, and between steam and waves, as well as abstract transformations created through manipulation of the source record-ings. Interspersed between the granulation and phasing sections are some unmanipulated source recordings including a brief soundwalk. My vision is that the momentum and musical rhetoric provides an organic modulation between these different domains.

Natasha Bogojevich (b. 1966) Nach Bach for solo viola (2016) Duration: 12 minutes The very well-known J. S. Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major was a true inspiration for creating NachBach for viola. This piece was a part of the proj-ect commissioned by the Composers Association of Serbia and premiered on October 27, 2016 by violist Saša Mirković at the prestigious and festive venue - Belgrade City Hall.

The natural sonorities of open strings Sol and Re and harmonic richness between these strings are the essence of Bach’s sound world. Bach’s monumental intervals between open strings influenced my music for viola. The Suite NachBach starts with the #prelude and consists of a series of four pitches, B flat – A –C – H, that are played on the instrument and then Sprechstimme-d.

New music Depaul • may 5, 2017program Notes

The dances that follow are the same as we found in Bach’s Suite how-ever they are hashtagged: #allemande, #courante, #sarabande, #menuet I, #menuet II and #gigue. #Hashtag is familiar from social media, however, in NachBach the # indicates a depersonalization and the urban nature of these dances. Bach’s motives are taken out of his Baroque content and they be-came the structure for minimalistic variations that are sometimes disrupted with quasi quotes like Bach’s cadences (notified as #NachBach in the score).

The minimalistic technique in my work did not come from American post-minimalism. The treatment of musical time, the repetitiveness and the mi-cro variations of the intervals are most likely recognized as my own ancient memory from the antique Balkan folk tunes.


BiograPhies

Critically acclaimed stellar [Chicago Tribune] countertenor Thomas Aláan has been praised for his glorious countertenor voice [Herald Times], heartfelt... soaring sound... and simmering singing [Hyde Park Herald], excellent timing and intonation [Elgin Review], incredible diction and significant and clean upper register [The Post-Journal], and his artful and moving voice of unearthly round tone and singular power [Communities Digital News].

Thomas has performed across the United States as a soloist with ensembles and orchestras on dozens, including: Ars Antigua, Bella Voce Camerata, Bach Cantata Vespers, Credo, Elgin Symphony and Master Chorale, Mountainside Baroque, Musikanten Montana, Schola Antiqua, and the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra. He’s appeared on many regional concert series, as well as at the Boston Early Music Festival, the Bach and Beyond Baroque Early Music Festival in New York, and the Bloomington (IN) Early Music Festival. In 2016, he (re)created the role of Patie in Allan Ramsay’s opera, The Gentle Shepherd, last seen in North America in 1798. He is a national finalist in the Classical Singer Magazine Vocal Competition for emerging professionals, and a national semi-finalist in The American Prize for his interpretation of art song. His recordings include Vivaldi’s solo cantata, Stabat mater dolorosa, for Biretta Books, Haydn’s Requiem and Vivaldi’s Gloria with the Elgin Master Chorale and Symphony Orchestra, and Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms with the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra.

Outside of singing, Thomas divides his time in Chicago as Executive Director of the Bach and Beethoven Ensemble; as Director of Women’s Schola and Assistant Conductor of Choirs at Holy Name Cathedral; and developing energy and sustainability curriculum at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He teaches private voice, and has presented talks on singing, pedagogy, interdisciplinary collaboration, and entrepreneurship in the arts at the University of Illinois at Chicago, the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Helena (MT) Music Teachers Association, and the Self Employment in the Arts (SEA) Art Business Entrepreneurship Workshop.

Thomas received his M.A. in Vocal Pedagogy under renowned author and pedagogue, Joan Wall, at Texas Woman’s University, and

She has appeared with numerous ensembles including but not limited to Kings Noyse, Apollo’s Fire, Newberry Consort, Ars Lyrica, Musica Angelica, Toronto’s Classical Music Consort, Indianapolis and Atlanta Baroque Orchestras; and as soloist/concertmaster of Ars Antigua, Bloomington Early Music Festival Opera Orchestra, and St. Louis’s Kingsbury Ensemble.
