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 12,700 university students, the UNCG School of
Music serves over 575 music majors with a full-time faculty and staff of 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 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 adjoins 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.

Frank Martin:
Trois Chants de Noël
Les Cadeaux (The Gifts)
I saw three kings on a path, more beautiful than any other, bearing gifts in their hands.
Next to these, what will I bring? So much as nothing.
They brought to the little prince gold, myrrh and frankincense.
My poor presents seemed slight next to the treasures of the three kings.
He looked at the jewels. I stood silently.
Then he looked at me, and his first smile was for me.
Image de Noël (A Picture of Christmas)
The child Jesus of the pictures, the beautiful baby pink and fair, stretches his hands to the
magi or toward a trembling shepherd. The oxen, feeling at home, chews and lows. And the
Virgin in a blue cloak, smiles at the company.
Les Bergers (The Shepherds)
It was not past midnight that the new star shone unto him for to light the earth.
Then suddenly the sky opened, dressed with light.
One could see Paradise and all the angels gathered in prayer.
Through the deserts, walking barefoot, all the shepherds came as far as the stable.
They amused the baby Jesus with the songs of the flute.
The angels sang: Gloria! And the shepherds: Hosanna!
Alleluia, Alleluia!
W. A. Mozart:
Una donna a quindici anni from Così fan tutte
A woman of 15 years
Must know all the good methods,
Where the devil keeps his tail,
What’s good and what’s bad.
She must know the little malices
That enamour lovers:
To feign laughter, to feign tears,
And invent good reasons.
She must pay attention to a hundred at a time
Speak through her eyes with a thousand
Give hope to all, be they handsome or ugly,
Know how to obfuscate without getting confused
And know how to lie without blushing.
And this queen from her high throne
Can make them obey with, “I can,” and “I want.”
(It seems they like this doctrine,
Long live Despina, who knows how to serve!)
Gioacchino Rossini:
Duetto Buffo di Due Gatti (Comic Duet for Two Cats)
Meow.
Fanny Hensel:
Du bist die Ruh (You are the Peace)
You are the peace
The mild peace,
You are longing
And what stills it.
I consecrate to you
Full of pleasure and pain
As a dwelling here
My eyes and heart.
Come live with me,
And close
Quietly behind you
The gates.
Drive other pain
Out of this breast
May my heart be full
With your pleasure.
The tabernacle of my eyes
By your radiance
Alone is illumined
O fill it completely!
Die Ersehnte (The one so yearned for)
If only the next spring would bring you to my arms!
If only the birds would sing me my wedding song from the blossoms,
Then, then I would be blessed
On earth with the bliss of heaven.
Ecstasy! She will conjure paradise for me!
She will gladly wander with me in God’s garden;
She will rock in my arms
And give the wings to the spring evening.
Come, the tears of yearning in my eye call to you!
And this fluttering heart, full of sweet foreboding!
Dismally flowed my life-
O messenger of heaven, come cheer it.
Mignon
Only one who knows longing
Knows what I suffer!
Alone and cut off
From all joy,
I look into the firmament
In that direction.
Ah! He who loves knows me
Is far away.
I am reeling,
My entrails are burning.
Only one who knows longing
Knows what I suffer!
Frühling (Spring)
Above the garden and across the sky
I heard migrating birds passing;
That meant that spring was in the air;
Below, things are already beginning to bloom.
I could rejoice, I could weep-
I feel as though it cannot be!
Old wonders appear again
With the moonlight.
And the moon and stars say it,
And in a dream the grove murmurs it,
And the nightingales sing it:
She is yours! She is yours!
Robert Schumann:
Röselein, Röselein! (Little rose, little rose!)
Little rose, little rose! Must there be thorns?
By the shady brooklet once I fell asleep and dreamed sweet dreams.
In the sun’s good light I saw a little rose without thorns.
I picked it too and gently kissed it: “Little rose without thorns!”
I woke and looked around: “I had it though, where can it be?”
All about in sunlight far only thorny roses bloomed!
And the brooklet laughed at me: “Do not ever dream again!
Remember well, remember well, little roses must have thorns, must have thorns!”
Volksliedchen (A Little Folk Song)
When I go into the garden in the early morning in my green hat,
I am thinking first of all, what is my sweetheart doing now?
In the heavens shines no star that I would not wish for my friend.
I would gladly give him my heart if I could but take it out.
Widmung (Dedication)
Oh you, my soul, oh you, my heart, oh you, my delight, oh you, my sorrow,
Oh you, my world wherein I live, you my heaven into which I soar,
Oh you my grave, wherein deep down I have laid my sorrow!
You are the rest, you are the peace; Heaven has destined you for me.
That you love me makes me deem myself worthy, your gaze has transfigured me to myself,
Your love lifts me above myself, my good spirit, my better self!
You my soul, you my heart, you my delight, oh you, my sorrow,
You my world wherein I live, my heaven you, into which I soar,
My good spirit, my better self!
Claude Debussy:
Les Cloches (The Bells)
The leaves opened on the edge of the
Branches, delicately,
The bells rang, lightly and clearly,
In the mild sky.
Rhythmical and fervent like an
Anthem,
This distant call
Brought to mind the Christian
Whiteness of the altar flowers.
These bells spoke of happy years,
Seemed to make green again the
Withered leaves
Of bygone days.
Gabriel Fauré:
Claire de Lune (Moonlight)
Your soul is a chosen landscape
To which maskers and bergamasks
Bring delight,
Playing the lute and dancing, and
Almost sad
Beneath their fanciful disguises.
While singing in the minor key
Of victorious love and the propitious life,
They do not seem to believe in their
Happiness
And their song mingles with the
Moonlight,
With the calm moonlight, sad and
Beautiful,
Which brings dreams to the birds in
The trees
And makes the fountains sob with
Ecstasy,
The tall, slender fountains among the
Marble statues.
Georges Bizet:
Ouvre ton Coeur (Open your heart)
The daisy has closed its corolla
Shadow has closed the eyes of the day.
Beauty, to me will hold you word?
Open your heart to my love,
Oh young angel, to my flame,
That a dream charm your slumber
I want to recapture my soul,
Open your heart, oh young angel, to my flame,
As a flower opens to the sun!
