2004-05-02 Spring Choral Concert [recital program]

              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
Think on Me
This setting by James Mulholland is an arrangement of the original text and music by Mary
Queen of Scots who was also known as Bloody Mary.
Be Thou My Vision
The origins of this popular hymn lie in 8th century Ireland and the melody is taken from the
tune “Slane,” referring geographically to Slane Hill. Translated into English by Mary F.
Byrne in 1905 and versed in a collection of poems entitled “Poem Book of the Gael” by
Eleanor Hull, the hymn offers a single voice of devotion rooted in medieval Celtic
Christianity.
Daemon irrepit callidus
György Orbán is a prolific Hungarian composer who has written in a variety of genres. In
this motet Orbán creates the frenetic “demonic” atmosphere by his use of syncopated
rhythms and imaginative harmonies within inner staccato patterns.
“The demon sneaks expertly, tempting the honorable heart;
He offers trickery amid praise, dance, and song.
However amiably the demon acts, it is still counted less than the heart of Jesus.
Poor, passionate, undisciplined demon!”
Dona nobis pacem from the Mass in B minor
The Mass in B minor, regarded as Bach’s masterpiece of sacred choral music, was not
conceived as an entity. Its compositional history encompassed more than the last fifteen
years of his life. The final movement, Dona nobis pacem, was probably written in 1748 or
1749 at the completion of a long and creative career. It is a fitting conclusion to Bach’s
compositional life – a triumphant (D Major) plea for peace. “Grant us peace.”
Die Musici
Robert Swift is a Professor at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire. In this work
Dr. Swift takes the listener on a trip through the ages. From a joyful singing of the German
folk tune on which the work is based, to the carefree “doo-bee-doo” section, this light-hearted
piece is intended to be enjoyed by singers and audiences alike.
Sometimes My Mind Gets Weary
Composer George L. Mabry is professor of music and director for the Center for the
Creative Arts at Austin Peay University, Clarksville, TN.
Plenty Good Room
The arrangement of this traditional spiritual is by UNCG alumnus Jesse Padgett, presently
a freelance musician in the Philadelphia area.
Ave Maria
Hail Mary, full of grace art thou
The Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,
Holy Virgin, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
Both now and in the hour of our death. Amen.
Sound Sleep
Vaughan Williams composed many choral pieces, including hymn tunes and arrangements
of folk songs. “Sound Sleep” is one of his earliest works, composed in 1903 with a text by
Christina Rossetti. It beautifully illustrates Vaughan Williams’ text setting skills, and his
fondness for triplet/duplet rhythmic motion and keys related by thirds.

All in green went my love riding
The American composer David Diamond composed “All in green” in 1940, using a poem by
e.e. cummings. His music is always marked by strong rhythmic drive and frequent use of
displaced rhythmic patterns.
Deus in Adjutorium
Make haste, O God, to deliver me: make haste, O Lord, to help me.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen. Alleluia.
Ave Maris Stella
Hail, Star of the Sea, Loving Mother of God,
And Virgin immortal, heaven’s blissful portal!
Receiving that “Ave” from the mouth of Gabriel,
Reversing the name of “Eva,” established in peace.
Break the chains of sinners, bring light to the blind,
Drive away our evils, and ask for all good things.
Show thyself to be a mother, that, through thee,
He may accept our prayers, He who, born for us,
Chose to be your Son.
O incomparable Virgin, meek above all others,
Make us, freed from our faults, meek and chaste.
Keep our life pure, make our journey safe,
So that, seeing Jesus, we may rejoice together forever.
Let there be praise to God the Father,
And glory to Christ the most High,
And to the Holy Spirit,
And to the Three be one honor. Amen.
Belle Layotte
From Louis Reichwein’s Four Louisiana Creole Folk Songs , the text and melody of each
arrangement is taken from Slave Songs of the United States.
Though I have wandered every road, none can compare with fair Layotte.
Searching in all the towns, traveling through the colony,
still I see no beauty there who pleases me as fair Layotte.
Jean Babet, my dear friend, if you should pass by her way,
send back from fair Layotte, the precious gift she had promised me.
Raging her watchman swore, drove me away from Layotte’s door.
Do not speak of this song which I composed for fair Layotte.
Though I have wandered every road, none can compare with fair Layotte.
Musieu Bainjo
Look at that dandy, that’s Mister Banjo, oh, how he is so vain.
Hat cocked to one side, Mister Banjo.
Walking stick in hand, Mister Banjo.
Boots that go click-clack, Mister Banjo.
Look at that dandy, that’s Mister Banjo, oh, how he is so vain.
Ain’t-a That Good News
This work is a traditional African-American spiritual. This “jubilee” is characterized by a
quick tempo, syncopation and a rhythmic drive. Spirituals are usually characterized by
symbolism and the belief in Heaven and a better life after death. This arrangement, while
staying true to the melodic and rhythmic foundation of the spiritual, is marked by the use of
jazz harmonies.
In monte Oliveti
On the Mount of Olives he prayed to the Father:
“Father, if it can be done, let this cup pass from me.
The spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh is weak:
Your will be done.”
Tristis est anima est
Sorrowful is my soul even unto death;
Stay here, and watch with me:
Now you shall see the mob that will surround me.
You shall take flight, and I shall go to be sacrificed for you.
