tuesday musical concert series 2013 | 2014
Acclaimed around the world for its trademark warmth and blend and its engaging performances Cantus travels to
over 35 cities in its 2013–2014 season. Working without a conductor, the members of Cantus rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each contributing to the entirety of the artistic process. The Washington Post has hailed the ensemble’s sound as having both “exalting finesse” and “expressive power” and refers to its music-making as “spontaneous grace.” Cantus performs more than 60 concerts each year both in national and international touring, as well as in its home of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Past performances have brought Cantus to the stages of the Kennedy Center, UCLA, San Francisco Performances, Atlanta’s Spivey Hall, Bravo! Vail Music Festival and New York’s Merkin Concert Hall, to name just a few.
Committed to the expansion of vocal music repertoire, Cantus premieres a new work this
season, “Psalm of the Soil” by Sarah Kirkland Snider. Other commissions have come from Nico Muhly, Lee Hoiby, Steven Sametz, Kenneth Jennings, Peter Hamlin, Edie Hill and Robert Kyr. Cantus has received commissioning grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, American Composers Forum and Chamber Music America.
Cantus has a rich history of collaborations with other performing arts organizations, including the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Boston Pops, James Sewell Ballet and the Minnesota Orchestra. Each holiday season, the ensemble continues to tour its celebrated presentation of “All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914” throughout the country and has been featured multiple times on A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor.
The ensemble is the recipient of numerous awards, including Chorus America’s highest honor, the Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence (2009), as well as Chorus America’s
Education Outreach Award (2011). Cantus was also the 2010-2011 Artist in Residence on Minnesota Public Radio and American Public Media’s Performance Today.
Integral to the Cantus mission is its commitment to preserve and deepen music education in the schools. Cantus works with more than 5,000 students each year in master class and workshop settings across the country. Now in its sixth year, the award-winning High School Residency program brings Cantus into Minnesota schools several times a year for mentoring at no charge, culminating in a public concert in the spring.
Cantus has released 14 albums on its own self-titled label, each to considerable acclaim. Of That Eternal Day (2010) The New York Times said, “the Cantus recording offers many satisfactions, none greater than a touching, ineffably simple performance of “The 23rd Psalm (dedicated to my mother)” by Bobby McFerrin.” The next Cantus recording, Song of a Czech: Dvorák and Janácek for Men’s Voices will be released in October 2013.

Featured Recordings
On the Shoulders of GiantsThere are artists who have left an indelible mark in music with works that are both timeless and instantly recognizable. Including repertoire that spans nearly a thousand years from “Sederunt” – one of the first known works of polyphony – to U2’s “MLK,” along with works by Sibelius, Mendelssohn, Schubert and Randall Thompson, Cantus delivers performances with its trademark warmth and blend.
Christmas with CantusIn their newest holiday recording, the men of Cantus bring the sounds of the holidays to you and your family. Including audience favorites “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Noel Nouvelet,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and of course the Franz Biebl “Ave Maria,” this collection of songs old and new is full of light and life.
That Eternal DayThis recording is a wonderful collection of American sacred music. Including audience favorites “There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight,” “Wanting Memories,” and Bobby McFerrin’s “The 23rd Psalm (Dedicated to my Mother),” this program of music is emotionally invigorating and musically fulfilling. New arrangements of “Keep Your Lamps” and “Simple Gifts” alongside pieces by William Billings, Moses Hogan, and Paul Manz are a comfort to the soul.
Deep RiverDeep River is a treasury of African-American Spirituals. This album features some of the most beloved American folk songs such as “Ezekiel Saw de Wheel,” “Were You There,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and “Soon Ah Will Be Done.” Deep River also delves into the roots of American roots music by exclusively featuring music by the preeminent first and second-generation African-American composers – Harry T. Burleigh, William Dawson, John W. Work and Jester Hairston – in both well known and long forgotten arrangements of these immortal songs.
Let Your Voice Be HeardThis recording is an eclectic mix of music from all over the world. The selections range in style from “El Yivneh Hagalil,” a Hebrew folk song, to “Dulaman,” an Irish dance, and a unique Georgian wedding song. Familiar favorites “Danny Boy” and “Loch Lomond” and exhilarating performances of pieces such as “What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor” and “One By One” add to the energy and diversity of the program.

Somewhere a place for us.Peace and quiet and open air Wait for us, somewhere.
– Stephen Sondheim
The Finlandia HymnJean Sibelius(ECS Publishing)
This is my song, oh God of all the nations,a song of peace for lands afar and mine.This is my home, the country where my heart is;here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;but other hearts in other lands are beatingwith hopes and dreams as true and high as mine
My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,and sunlight beams on clover leaf and pine.But other lands have sunlight too and clover,and skies are everywhere as blue as mine.This is my song, oh God of all the nations;a song of peace for their land and for mine.
– Lloyd Stone

Program Notes
Pretty SaroAppalachian Folk Song(Manuscript)
When I first come to this country in Eighteen and Forty-nineI saw many fair lovers but I never saw mineI viewed all around me, and I found I was quite aloneand me a poor stranger and a long way from home
My love she won’t have me so I understandShe wants a free holder and I have no landI cannot maintain her with silver and goldNor buy all the fine things that a big house can hold
If I were a merchant and could write a fine handI’d write my love a letter that she’d understandSo I’ll wander by the river where the waters o’erflowAnd I’ll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go
Down in some lone valley, in some lonesome placeWhere the wild birds do whistle, and their notes do increaseFarewell, Pretty Saro, I bid you adoAnd I’ll dream of Pretty Saro wherever I go
We Shall Not Be Moved Traditional, Amerian, arr. Cantus(Manuscript)
We’ll build a mighty union, we shall not be moved.Just like a tree that’s planted by the water:We shall not be moved.When my burden’s heavy, we shall not be moved.We’re fighting for our freedom, we shall not be moved.
Anthem: Lamentation Over BostonWilliam Billings(Manuscript)
By the Rivers of Watertown we sat down and wept, when we remember’d thee, O Boston.As for our Friends, Lord God of Heaven, preserve them, defend them, deliver and restore them unto us.For they that held them in bondage requir’d of them to take up arms against their brethren. Forbid it, Lord.God forbid! Forbid it Lord, God forbid! That those who have sucked Bostonian Breasts should thirst for American Blood!A Voice was heard in Roxbury which echo’d through the Continent, weeping for Boston because of their danger.Is Boston my dear Town, is it my native Place? For since their Calamity, I do earnestly remember it, still.
tuesday musical concert series 2013 | 2014
If I forget thee, if I forget thee, yea if I do not remember thee, let my numbers cease to flow, then be my Muse unkind; then let my tongue forget to move and ever be confin’d.Let horrid Jargon split the Air and rive my nerves asunder; let hateful Discord greet my Ear, as terrible as Thunder.Let Harmony be banish’d hence and Consonance depart; let Dissonance erect her Throne and reign within my Heart.– Psalm 137, ad. William Billings
GravediggerDavid John Matthews, arr. Timothy C. Takach(Colden Grey, Ltd.)
Paradise “Northport” hymn, arr. Malcolm Dalglish(Ooolitic Music)
Dear Lord I wander here below.I sing to you that I may know.Have I a seat in paradise?Is there a love that never dies?
I have some friends before me gone,But I’m resolved to travel on.I vow that I’ll remember them,Their memory a requiem.
By faith my journey I’ll pursue,Heaven on earth thy will to do.You are the flame that lights the way,In cool of night and heat of day.
I cannot say I have no fear,Yet I am glad that I am here.You gave the power to my hand.My arms embrace this promised land.
I want to live in paradise.There is a love that never dies.I want to live in paradise.There is a love that never dies.Glory, Hallelujah.
– Malcolm Dalglish
NukapianguaqInuit Chants, adapt. Stephen Hatfield(Boosey and Hawkes)
This piece (pronounced nukh-ah-pee-ang-guaq) attempts to present Inuit music in a choral setting that remains as faithful as possible to the aesthetics of the original tradition. The Inuit love heterorhythms – rhythms which are played simultaneously, but which are not intended to cohabit a common tempo or time signature. Inuit chants are usually reflective in nature and spiritual in intent. A marked exception is the war chant which finishes the piece. The piece is named for one of the Inuit’s most prestigious singers, and the opening chant was written by his son in tribute.
– Stephen Hatfield, 1993

Program Notes
Northwest PassageStan Rogers, arr. Ian Loeppky(Kelman Hall Corporation)
Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest PassageTo find the hand of Franklin reaching towards the Beaufort Sea;Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savageAnd make a Northwest Passage to the sea.
Westward from the Davis Strait ’tis there ’twas said to lieThe sea route to the Orient for which so many died;Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bonesAnd a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones.
Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overlandIn the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his “sea of flowers” beganWatching cities rise before me, then behind me sink againThis tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain.
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking westI think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the restWho cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for meTo race the roaring Fraser to the sea.
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?Like them, I lived a settled life, I threw it all away.To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many menTo find there but the road back home again.
– Stan Rogers
El Pajarito CuTrad. Mexican Folk Song, arr. Evy Lucio(Neil A. Kjos Music Company)
¿Qué pajarito es aquel que ha bajado a beber agua?Que con el pico la turba por no beberla tan clara.Y a muchos no les gusta, la cinta negra, Porque dicen que es triste y a mi me alegra.
Eres mi prenda querida, eres todo mi querer, Rosa de Castilla en grana cortada al amanecer. Eres mi prenda querida, eres mi prenda adorada, Eres aquella paloma que canta en la madrugadaEres aquella paloma que canta al amanecer.
Translation:What kind of little bird has come to the stream for water?He pecks the bottom lightly, disturbing the bottom slightly. And many do not like the black ribbon, Because they say it is sad and I am glad.
You are my darling and you are all my love. Rose of Castile as fresh as morningYou are my dear promise, my beloved one.My tender dove singing at dawn to welcome the rising sun.

Hit by the thrustsHit by the coldThe hips of Hilo’s throngs sagAs they return burdened to the sands of Hankahi.
– Traditional name chant for King Kamehameha
America Will Be!Paul John Rudoi(Manuscript)
Let America be America again.Let it be the dream it used to be.Let it be the pioneer on the plainSeeking a home where he himself is free.
(America never was America to me.)
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed –Let it be that great strong land of loveWhere never kings connive nor tyrants schemeThat any man be crushed by one above.
(It never was America to me.)
Program Notes
O, let my land be a land where LibertyIs crowned with no false patriotic wreath,But opportunity is real, and life is free,Equality is in the air we breathe.
(There’s never been equality for me,Nor freedom in this “homeland of the free.”)
Say, who are you that mumbles in the dark? And who are you that draws your veil across the stars?
I am the poor white, fooled and pushed apart,I am the (‘black man’) bearing slavery’s scars.I am the red man driven from the land,I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek –
(‘I am’) the one who dreamt our basic dreamIn the Old World while still a serf of kings,Who dreamt a dream so strong, so brave, so true,That even yet its mighty daring singsIn every brick and stone, in every furrow turnedThat’s made America the land it has become.O, I’m the man who sailed those early seasIn search of what I meant to be my home –For I’m the one who left dark Ireland’s shore,And Poland’s plain, and England’s grassy lea,And torn from Black Africa’s strand I cameTo build a “homeland of the free.”
The free?
For all the dreams we’ve dreamedAnd all the songs we’ve sungAnd all the hopes we’ve heldAnd all the flags we’ve hung,The millions who have nothing for our pay –Except the dream that’s almost dead today.
O, let America be America again –The land that never has been yet –And yet must be – the land where every man is free.The land that’s mine – the poor man’s, Indian’s, (‘Black man’s’), ME –
O, yes,I say it plain,America never was America to me,And yet I swear this oath –America will be!
– Langston Hughes

This Ol’ HammerTraditional Work Song, arr. John W. Work(Galaxy Music Corporation)
This ol’ hammer killed John HenryBut it won’t kill me, won’t kill me.
This ol’ hammer shines like silver,But it rings like gol’ O Lord, it rings like gol’
Take this hammer, to the walkin’ boss,Tell ’im I’m gone
If he ask you any questions, Tell ’im you don’t know!
I don’t mind a skeeter ‘lightin’But Mister Skeeter please! Don’t sit down.
This ol’ hammer killed John HenryBut it won’t kill me, won’t kill me.
Ain’ Got Time to DieHall Johnson, arr. Philip Duey(Boston Music Company)
Lord, I keep so busy praisin’ my Jesus, Ain’ got time to die.’Cause when I’m healin’ de sick (I’m praisin’ my Jesus)’Cause it takes all o’ my time to praise my Jesus, all o’ my time to praise my Lord.If I don’t praise him de rocks gonna cry out: ‘Glory and Honor’.Lord, I keep so busy workin’ for de Kingdom, I ain’ got time to die.Lord, I keep so busy servin’ my Jesus, I ain’ got time to die.’Cause when I’m giving my all, I’m servin’ my Jesus.Now won’t you get out o’ my way, Lemme praise my Jesus!
– Traditional
Simple GiftsJoseph Brackett, arr. Stephen Caracciolo(Neil A. Kjos Music Company)
’Tis the gift to be simple, ‘tis the gift to be free,’Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,And when we find ourselves in the place just right,’Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,to bow and to bend, we shan’t be ashamed,To turn, turn will be our delight,Till by turning, turning we come ’round right.
– Joseph Brackett
SomewhereLeonard Bernstein(Warner Chappell Music)
There’s a place for us, Somewhere a place for us.Peace and quiet and open airWait for us, somewhere.
There’s a time for us, Some day a time for us,Time together with time to spare, Time to learn, time to care,
Some day, Somewhere, We’ll find a new way of living,We’ll find a way of forgiving.Somewhere . . .
There’s a place for us,A time and place for us.Hold my hand and we’re halfway there. Hold my hand and I’ll take you thereSomehow, Some day, Somewhere!

Experience a week exploring the highly tempestuous and deeply emotional intermingling of music and politics. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra take a fascinating look at two highly autobiographical composers, whose lives and careers were separated by over a century, yet whose works demonstrate how artists of two eras wrestled with themes of freedom, as well as personal and collective liberty and politics. The festival includes three concerts, plus two fi lm screenings in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque. Pre-fi lm and pre-concert talks, and a chamber music performance by members of The Cleve -land Orchestra, are also featured.
