The UNCG School of Music has been recognized for years as one of the elite
music institutions in the United States. Fully accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Music since 1938, the School offers the only
comprehensive music program from undergraduate through doctoral study in
both performance and music education in North Carolina. From a total
population of approximately 14,000 university students, the UNCG School of
Music serves nearly 600 music majors with a full-time faculty and staff of more
than sixty. As such, the UNCG School of Music ranks among the largest Schools
of Music in the South.
The UNCG School of Music now occupies a new 26 million dollar music building,
which is among the finest music facilities in the nation. In fact, the new music
building is the second-largest academic building on the UNCG Campus. A large
music library with state-of-the-art playback, study and research facilities houses
all music reference materials. Greatly expanded classroom, studio, practice
room, and rehearsal hall spaces are key components of the new structure. Two
new recital halls, a large computer lab, a psychoacoustics lab, electronic music
labs, and recording studio space are additional features of the new facility. In
addition, an enclosed multi-level parking deck is adjacent to the new music
building to serve students, faculty and concert patrons.
Living in the artistically thriving Greensboro—Winston-Salem—High Point “Triad”
area, students enjoy regular opportunities to attend and perform in concerts
sponsored by such organizations as the Greensboro Symphony Orchestra, the
Greensboro Opera Company, and the Eastern Music Festival. In addition,
UNCG students interact first-hand with some of the world’s major artists who
frequently schedule informal discussions, open rehearsals, and master classes at
UNCG.
Costs of attending public universities in North Carolina, both for in-state and out-of-
state students, represent a truly exceptional value in higher education.

Program Notes
Roger Ames:
Abraham and Isaac: A Parable of 9.11.01
So Abraham rose and clave the wood, and went and took the fire with him, and a knife. And as they sojourned both of them together, Isaac the first born spake and said:
My father, behold the preparations: Fire and iron. But where is the lamb for this
Burnt offering?
Then Abraham bound the youth with belts and straps, and builded parapets and
Trenches there, and stretched forth the knife to slay his son.
When lo an angel called him out of heaven, saying lay not thy hand upon the lad,
Neither do anything to him.
Behold a ram, caught in the thicket by its horns; offer the ram of pride instead of him.
But the old man would not so, and slew his son. And half the seed of Europe, one by one!
Kyrie eleison. Requiem aeternam.
Felix Mendelssohn:
Kyrie eleison
Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.
Steven Sametz:
When He Shall Die
This harmonically lush work sets a text from Act III of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” In this soliloquy, Juliet looks forward to an evening visit by Romeo.
When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars
And he will make the face of heav’n so fine.
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Mark Butler, arr.:
Signs of the Judgment
Judgment, oh Judgment! Judgment’s a-coming.
I see the sign of the judgment coming, Hallelujah!
Better be ready for that great day when the Lord come and take His children away.
Boatman, boatman row one side, can’s you get to heaven ‘gainst the wind and the tide.
Run to the mountain, the mountain moved. I run to the hills and they did too.
Went to the rocks to hide my face, the rocks cried out there’s no hiding place.
One of these mornings, bright and fair, I will meet my Jesus in the air.
He’ll say, “well done my child,” then I’ll shout Hallelujah, my race has been won.
See the signs of the judgment, the time is drawing nigh. Judgment’s coming, Lord.
J. David Moore, arr.:
Gaudete
Rejoice! Christ is born of the Virgin Mary.
The time of grace that we desired is here. Let us reverently render songs of joy.
While nature wondered, God has been made human. The world has been restored.
The closed gate of Ezekiel is crossed.
Salvation is found in the place from which the light came.
So let our assembly now sing psalms in offering. Let it bless the Lord.
Hail to our King!
Damijan Močnik:
Christus est natus
Today Christ is born; today the Savior has appeared;
today the angels sing, the archangels rejoice;
today the righteous rejoice, saying:
Glory to God in the highest. Alleluia!
Felix Mendelssohn:
Frohlocket, ihr Volker auf Erden
Rejoice, give praise to the heavens and give thanks to God!
The Savior has been sent, as was promised by the Lord!
He has revealed his righteousness to the world. Alleluia!
