Anthem: "There is a Balm in Gilead" by Harry T. Burleigh Soloist: Cynthia Mellon, Mezzo-Soprano, Frank Zilinyi, Director

Anthem: "Don't You Weep When I Am Gone" by Harry T. Burleigh Soloist: Mark Hale, Tenor, Frank Zilinyi, Director

Today we learn how to pray for those whom God has called into the entertainment industry – the largest group of influencers in the world. Then, it should not surprise us when we see God use the common things of life--snow, streetlights, a rented suit, a mop--to accomplish the incredible. But it should inspire us. From the depths of near obscurity at the turn of the last century, a young African American man rose to fame through those ordinary things--listening intently out in the snow as a child to beautiful music in an elegant hall, listening to his grandfather sing the old slave songs as he lit the streetlamps, sweating through a rented suit during an audition for a musical scholarship, a chance meeting with a musical legend as he was mopping the halls of his school. Through the seemingly insignificant pieces of life, God led Harry T. Burleigh along the path to fame and through him preserved the songs that would form the basis of a uniquely American music.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joshua and Angela delve into the many facets of Paul Robeson, the man behind the voice that made him a household name on stage and screen. An academic scholar, bass-baritone concert artist, and stage and film actor, Robeson was as well-known for his artistic prowess as he was for his outspoken commitment to disrupting the hypocritical political strategies of the American government in the 1940s.Featured Music:"Scandalize My Name," arranged by Harry T. Burleigh, performed by Paul Robeson live from Carnegie Hall"No More Auction Block""Ol' Man River"Support the show

We began the month with fascinating conversation with Erie ex-pat author and professor Dr. Craig von Buseck. Craig is a prolific author of books centered on figures in history like Ulysses S. Grant, Harry S. Truman, and we talked about his focus on people who rose in prominence from Erie, like Harry T. Burleigh, and Col. Strong Vincent.

Donald Macleod explores Dvořák's American years and uncovers what he achieved during his time there. Antonín Dvořák became the first Czech composer to achieve global fame. His gift for transforming the folk styles of his native Bohemia into richly Romantic classical music won him admirers far beyond his homeland. Consequently, Dvořák was approached to leave Europe and serve as director of the newly established National Conservatory of Music in America. His sponsors hoped he would help foster a new and distinctive American musical style, less reliant upon Germanic traditions. During his time in America, from 1892 – 1895, Dvořák composed many of his most celebrated works, including his 9th symphony and his cello concerto. Before leaving, he'd started work on his Cello Concerto, inspired by his yearning for the Bohemian countryside. Back at home, Dvořák also completed his String Quartet No 13 which some have seen to be his final work to have musical associations with America. Dvořák's had set out to encourage American musicians to look to their own traditions rather than simply following behind Europe. He may not have been entirely successful but he did encourage others in that aim, such as Harry T. Burleigh. Burleigh said of Dvořák that he'd assisted in changing attitudes of African American's towards their own folk tradition, and most importantly, that Dvořák "was a man of the people".

I bid a lingering farewell to Black History Month 2022 with the first of a two-part episode featuring singers, each of whom left a relatively small but invaluable recorded legacy. I begin with soloists from the Leonard de Paur Chorus, and continue with earliest recorded examples, more than a century old, of African American singers. I follow with a series of singers, each of whom made a mark in varied productions of Porgy and Bess, but all of them singing other material: by Mozart, Arlen, Bernstein, Cole Porter, Howard Swanson, and a US workers' song translated into German. I conclude with a trio of exceptional Verdi sopranos of whom you may not yet have heard. Among the singers heard today are Charles Holland, Luther Saxon, Eugene Holmes, John C. Payne, Harry T. Burleigh, Evelyn Dove, LeVern Hutcherson, Inez Matthews, Todd Duncan, Florence Cole-Talbert, Kenneth Spencer, Martha Flowers, Bruce Hubbard, Helen Thigpen, Ella Lee, Ruby Elzy, Theresa Green Coleman, Edward Boatner, Betty Allen, and Sarah Reese. Prepare to have your horizons expanded and your consciousness raised! Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

Beethoven's "Fidelio" famously includes a chorus of prisoners, and in a new production by Heartbeat Opera the roles will be played by actual incarcerated individuals. The company's Ethan Heard and Kelly Griffin join Garrett to talk about the process of engaging these individuals, the relationship that's being built between opera and the prison system, and Heartbeat Opera's larger goal of engaging new audiences. Garrett and Scott draw proximity between sports and "classical" music as a means of practicing cultural competency, offer music that turns pain into beauty, and spend the weekly TRILLOQUY addressing the confederate flag, fighting gentrification, and the notion of being "silenced".

Synopsis On today's date in 1935, at the Church of Saint François-Xavier in Paris, organist Geneviève de la Salle gave the first complete performance of the three-movement Suite, Op. 5, by the French composer, teacher, and virtuoso organist Maurice Duruflé. If you sing in a choir or are a fan of choral music, you're probably familiar with Duruflé's serene and tranquil “Requiem,” Op. 9, which premiered some 12 years later. Duruflé's Op. 5 premiered in 1935, his Op. 9 in 1947, so you might reasonably conclude the composer was a slow worker – which he was.  He was also a very self-critical perfectionist whose catalog of works is rather small, but exquisitely crafted.  In all, Duruflé's output comprises less than 15 published works, of which seven are for organ. Duruflé's music is firmly embedded in the French tradition of organ composers like César Franck and Louis Vierne, and orchestral composers like Debussy, Ravel, and Duruflé's own composition teacher, Paul Dukas.  The great French organist Marie-Claire Alain, when asked to describe Duruflé's music, replied "it is a perfectly honest art… He was not an innovator but a traditionalist… Duruflé evolved and amplified the old traditions, making them his own."  Music Played in Today's Program Maurice Durufle (1902-1986) — Organ Suite, Op. 5 (Todd Wilson, o (Schudi organ at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Dallas, Texas)) Delos 3047 On This Day Births 1752 - Italian composer Muzio Clementi, in Rome; 1878 - English composer Rutland Boughton, in Aylesbury; Deaths 1837 - Irish composer John Field, age 54, in Moscow (Julian date: Jan.11); 1908 - American composer and pianist Edward MacDowell, age 47, in New York; 1981 - American composer Samuel Barber, age 70, in New York; Premieres 1724 - Bach: Sacred Cantata No. 73 ("Herr, wie du willst, so schicks mit mir") performed on the 3rd Sunday after Epiphany as part of Bach's first annual Sacred Cantata cycle in Leipzig (1723/24); 1729 - Bach: Sacred Cantata No. 156 ("Ich steh mit einem Fuss im Grabe") probably performed in Leipzig on the 3rd Sunday after Epiphany as part of Bach's fourth annual Sacred Cantata cycle (to texts by Christian Friedrich Henrici, a.k.a. "Picander") during 1728/29; 1895 - MacDowell: Suite No. 2 (":Indian"), at the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, by the Boston Symphony, with Emil Paur conducting; On the same program, MacDowell appeared as the soloist in his own Piano Concerto No. 1; 1933 - Bartók: Piano Concerto No. 2, in Frankfurt, with Hans Robaud conducting and the composer as soloist; 1936 - Chavez: "Sinfonia India," on a radio broadcast by the Columbia Symphony, conducted by the composer; 1948 - Diamond: Symphony No. 4, by the Boston Symphony, Leonard Bernstein conducting; 1963 - Peter Mennin: Symphony No. 7, by the Cleveland Orchestra, George Szell conducting; 1973 - Elliott Carter: String Quartet No. 3, in New York City, by the Juilliard String Quartet; This work won the Pulitzer Prize for music in that year (This was Carter's second Pulitzer Prize); 1999 - Thea Musgrave: "Three Women," in San Francisco, by the Women's Philharmonic, A.

Burleigh; 1943 - Duke Ellington and his orchestra present their first concert at Carngie Hall in New York, presenting the "official" premiere of Ellington's "Black, Brown and Beige" Suite (This work had received its world premiere at a trial performance the preceding day at Rye High School in Rye, New York).

This episode of BETTER THAN MONKEYS is a follow up to WQLN NPR's Harry T. Burleigh week celebration in December. Burleigh, born in Erie, Pa in 1866 was instrumental in bringing the African-American spiritual into the mainstream of classical music thru his art songs and for bringing these spirituals to the attention of composer ANTONIN DVORAK who looked to them for inspiration in composing his SYMPHONY NO. 9, "From the New World." Burleigh's legacy lives on thru today's young African-American composers including todays special guest, Dr. Evan Williams. Evan brings us a performance of his composition "DEAD WHITE MAN MUSIC" featuring Thomas Cunningham and the Urban Playground Chamber Orchestra. Join us as we unpack his music, talk about the process of composing, discuss bringing new music to life and so much more on this episode of BETTER THAN MONKEYS!

Erie ex-pat and prolific non-fiction author Dr. Craig von Buseck was our Friday guest leading into the Labor Day weekend. Dr. Von Buseck is known for his book about another Erie native Harry T.

Episode 05 Show Notes 0:00 - Intro Thanks for listening!  We’ve enjoyed your feedback and would welcome more! 1:18 - Introducing a New Format Our typical format is to:  Define a musical term Make listening recommendations based on that term Answer a question from a listener Every 5th episode, we’ll take a slightly deeper dive into just one piece of music This could be an album, a musical, the score of a film, etc. Today’s piece is a symphony Our goal is to give you a few things to listen for in each movement of this symphony focusing on principles from our first four episodes: Melody Harmony Rhythm & Meter Timbre 2:37 - Introducing Dvorak’s 9th Symphony: From the New World Written by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), a Bohemian (Czech) orchestral composer Premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1893 Dvorak traveled to America to be the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York Wrote some of his most famous works while in the states (American String Quartet, his cello concerto, and this symphony) Dvorak opened the conservatory to African American students Dvorak believed that composers interested in capturing the American sound should study the music of Native Americans and African Americans Not very many people agreed with him at the time Dvorak wrote original themes inspired by Native American and African American traditions, not exact replications of themes from these cultures With the exception of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot Garrett compares Dvorak’s goal to the Foo Fighters’ concept behind their album/documentary “Sonic Highways” 7:31 - What is a symphony? A multi-movement work for the symphony orchestra Movements are sort of like small pieces of music that make up a bigger piece of music Garrett asks if movements are like chewing bites of a cake instead of shoving an entire cake into your mouth Amanda responds that it’s more like four cupcakes decorated slightly differently but all part of the same batch or set Garrett compares movements to chapters in a book Amanda compares them to books in a series of books because movements are usually pretty complete unto themselves Symphonies typically have 3 movements (early classical) or 4 movements (standard in the Romantic period), and they have a typical order: Fast Slow Dance Fast A note about when to applaud: If the work has multiple movements, try to follow along with the order of them and wait until the end of the last movement to clap If nothing else, wait until the conductor puts his arms all the way down and keeps them down… that’s usually the big ending! People used to clap whenever they wanted, but now we’re snobs about it 12:08 - Movement I. “Adagio - Allegro molto" Melody: Three important themes: A bold, fanfare-like theme (with a statement and a response) that is often played in the brass A minor melody with a simple accompaniment that is first played in the flute We’re not sure why, but Dvorak pointed to this theme as being influenced by indigenous music traditions. He may have thought the minor mode made it sound indigenous A theme that seems to be a pretty direct quotation and development of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” (an important African American spiritual) Rhythm: the 1st and 3rd theme have very similar rhythms… almost identical! Sidenote: Dvorak will introduce great themes during each movement of the piece, but he’ll also bring back previous movements’ themes (especially the opening theme and the Swing Low theme) Perhaps a drinking game could be played???  (Please drink responsibly.) One word description of Movement I: Amanda: Exploration Garrett: Outset 17:49 - Movement II. “Largo” The most famous movement from this piece Melody: Several years after it was written and premiered, a student of Dvorak, William Arms Fisher, added lyrics to the theme from this movement (“Goin’ Home”) Timbre: The Goin’ Home theme was originally written for clarinet! Dvorak changed it to English Horn because he thought it better matched the vocal timbre of Harry T. Burleigh, the student who exposed Dvorak to many African spirituals Amanda also points out that the timpani notes in this movement are another great timbre Harmony: A passage of big, open chords played by the brass section multiple times throughout this movement Michael Beckerman called this the “Once Upon a Time” figure One word description: Garrett: Nostalgia Dvorak was very homesick while in America Amanda: Yearning 24:32 - Movement III. "Scherzo. Molto Vivace" Rhythm & Meter: The meter is very obvious in this movement, and this is the only movement in triple meter (3 beats per measure) Melody: 3 more great melodies introduced in this movement Sidenote: The opening of this scherzo matches the opening of Beethoven’s 9th symphony’s scherzo!  They sound musically very similar. Dvorak did likely did this on purpose as a nod to Beethoven Even Sider Note: Amanda got the movement number wrong in the episode (womp, womp).  Beethoven mixes things up, so his scherzo is Movement II, not Movement III.  Idea still applies though! One word description: Garrett: Chase Amanda: Tension 28:26 - Movement IV. "Allegro con fuoco” Melody: One last big, bold theme Dominates the movement and later signals the end of the piece Melody: Garrett feels that this movement is a battle of all the themes!  See his list of theme battles below! Harmony/Timbre: The last chord of the piece Unique because the entire orchestra hits a chord together, but suddenly everyone cuts out and only the very soft woodwind section sustains Sidenote: The opening of this movement is… Jaws! John Williams borrowed this figure for his shark movie soundtrack On a case by case basis, as long as you properly attribute the material you’ve borrowed, most people in classical music don’t care about this type of borrowing... Just don’t try to pass anything off as your own work if it’s isn’t actually your own work! If Dvorak were alive at the time of Jaws, maybe he’d have wanted a writer’s credit? “You’re only as good as who you steal from.” - A tongue in cheek quote from a professor Garrett and Amanda both know One word descriptions: Garrett: Argument Amanda: Territorial Bonus: Garrett makes a claim for “Three Blind Mice” as another quotation Amanda believes this is purely coincidence 35:40 - How to Enjoy a Symphony (35:53) If you sit down at a concert and see a symphony on the program that comes from 1815 on, get ready for a long ride During the romantic period, symphonies were expanded and got longer and longer Dvorak's 9th symphony is around 42 minutes long! Amanda says that if people will go to a movie theater to watch three hours of Avengers, then they definitely have the capacity to enjoy 40 minutes of great music Garrett says it’s one crime show episode Amanda says it’s three Spongebobs (37:42) Expect thematic development! When you hear a melody, try to hold onto it because it will likely come back again Expect the composer to transform and expand on the themes you hear (38:29) Don’t expect to stay completely engaged and focused for 40 minutes straight Amanda points out that not even the members of the orchestra are fully, completely focused for the entire length of the piece Tuba player is a great example because that person only plays the 2nd movement (and plays less than 20 notes) Dvorak wrote highs and lows, so it’s okay to let your attention ebb and flow a little bit Garrett compares some parts to background info/setting in a novel Amanda compares it to description in a novel It’s all important, but it doesn’t all require the same level of engagement If someone falls asleep, only wake them up if they start snoring Even trained pros want to be whisked away by the music This is musical storytelling!  Let it take you where it wants to go (41:20) Expect repetition Composers have to walk a fine line between variety and repetition Repetition can ground you, but too much can bore you Variety is the spice of life, but too much spice ruins dinner There are two types of repetition: exact and non exact Exact repetition:  “This piece of music worked once… it’ll work again!” Tension and release (repetition can add to either) The composer is saying, “I want you to remember this.” Non-exact repetition: A timbral change: maybe the same melodies and harmonies but played by different instruments or different groups of instrument Accompaniment changes: Rhythms used might change, additional parts might come in If you hear the same melody, something might have changed elsewhere in the orchestra Ask yourself if it's different and try to figure out what changed (44:10) Nothing beats seeing a symphony live Amanda: the best sound system in the world can’t compete with the weakest concert hall Amanda: I can’t appreciate the difference between 20 vs 50 vs 100 in an orchestra on youtube If the music isn’t thrilling you too much at home, it may be that you need to go see it live Think of it as not just the music but the entire experience Experience it in the right context A comparison to movies You wouldn’t judge a movie based off the one time you saw it using a portable DVD player and broken earbuds during a car ride If you’ve heard someone say, “Oh, that’s a movie you have to see in theaters,” that’s how Amanda feels about symphonies Garrett points out that Twister goes from epic to cheesy real fast when you watch it at home instead of in theaters There’s music that’s meant to be in the studio and is hard to replicate live, but the symphony is the opposite. Witness the team effort! If it’s an educational group, remember that they’re still acquiring the skills they need in order to become the pros If you’re under 80, people will be so excited to see you at a symphony concert! (47:33) You can enjoy this! The music still has value It’s up to the musicians and people involved to show you the value Once you see it, there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying this music Don’t worry that other people are understanding the music more than you are You know a lot about the music you love, and you can appreciate cool experiences!  Seek them out! Garrett advises you to ask us about concert etiquette and to seek out casual concerts More and more pro orchestras are putting on less formal concerts 49:04 - Sign Off A reminder that we’ll keep this format reserved for every 5th episode Feel free to recommend a piece you’d like us to dive into Leave us a review if you’d like!

"What does it mean for an artist to have an “American” voice?" our guest host, Mark Rheaume, ponders in this very special episode of Hancher Presents. Rheaume is a PhD Candidate in Music Composition at the University of Iowa and he wrote and produced this episode exploring Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's upcoming Hancher program. An ensemble of 13 exceptional musicians—including David Finckel on cello and David Shifrin on clarinet—celebrate the intrepid (and diverse) American spirit in a performance highlighting two pairs of composers who helped shape classical music in the twentieth century. Harry T. Burleigh was a star student of Dvořák who exposed the Czech composer to American spirituals and was in turn encouraged by Dvořák to perform African American folk music. Two generations later, Copland and Bernstein conceived a clean, clear American sound conveying the wonder of open spaces and endless possibilities. This program will be performed at Hancher Auditorium at 3:00 PM on Sunday, October 13, 2019.

On the last day of February, we celebrated Black History Month with a conversation of personal stories and recollections by our guests. With us was retired Erie school teacher Johnny Johnson, Rev. Dr. Charles Mock, pastor of the Community Missionary Baptist Church, and City of Erie community liaison Michael Outlaw. Then via telephone, Dr. Craig Von Buseck, author of Nobody Knows: The Forgotten Story of One of the Most Influential Figures in American Music, told us the story of Harry T. Burleigh, the Erie native who became one of the true fathers of American music.

Work for string quartet performed by Musicians from Marlboro on April 12, 2014 and works for voice and piano by Harry Burleigh performed by New York Festival of Song on October 14, 2012.Dvořák: Cypresses for String Quartet B. 152Burleigh: A Birthday SongBurleigh: Little David Play on Your HarpBurleigh: Stan’ Still JordanBurleigh: Steal AwayBurleigh: O Rocks, Don’t Fall on MeAn advance warning: this podcast program may have you humming all day long. Our program features eminently sing-able works by two composers: Dvorak and Harry Burleigh.We’ll start with Dvorak’s Cypresses for string quartet, an instrumental piece based on a set of songs the composer wrote as a young man, settings of the poetry of the Moravian writer Gustav Pfleger-Moravsky The poems are steeped in the emotion of young love. Some movements also touch on the deep pain felt when a first love is lost. The string quartet arrangement has 12 brief movements, totaling about 20 minutes. The performance we’ll hear is by Musicians from Marlboro.Then, we have performers from the New York Festival of Song, offering up a number of short works by the African-American composer and arranger Harry T. Burleigh. In the 1920’s, Burleigh’s songs and arrangements of spirituals were immensely popular recital fare. The selections we’ll hear include both originals, such as the first piece “A Birthday Song,” and arrangements, including “Steal Away” and “Stan’ Still Jordan.” The podcast ends with all three singers—sopranos Julia Bullock & Dina Kuznetsova, and baritone James Martin—performing “O Rocks, Don’t Fall on Me.”
