Notes on the ProgramTHE MUSIC OF SYDNEY GUILLAUMEDominus Vobiscum

Sung in Haitian Creole, ‘DominusVobiscum’ is Latin for “The Lord be withyou.” This work urges us to seek Godwithin us. The central theme of the poemspeaks of the Divine Presence in every-one, of God in the depths of our hearts.

Pour Toi, Mère

During my college years, my motherMarlene was diagnosed with breast can-cer. Writing this composition for her wasmy way of coping with her struggles.

Kanaval

Like in many other countries, Haiti has acarnival season that is intensely celebratedwith three huge party days that end onMardi Gras (Fat Tuesday). In 2011, the lastpresident of Haiti who happened to be oneof the country’s top pop stars, decided tohave two carnival seasons. I benefitedfrom that in the summer of 2014 when Iexperienced the summer Carnaval DesFleurs in Port-au-Prince. This was aftertwenty years since the last time I went toa carnival. It was one of my favoritemoments in Haiti that summer. The deco-rations, the music, the joy of the people,the Rara bands, the costumes, the floats…they all inspired me to write a choral pieceabout one of the greatest treasures of theHaitian culture, its “Kanaval”.

Tchaka

Tchaka is one of the most popular meals inHaitian cuisine. It’s a “melting pot”—atasty mélange of different food productssuch as corn, beans with pork, and crus-taceans. Likewise, Haitian folklore consistsof a huge variety of rhythms and dancesthat when mixed together give birth toextraordinary works. Bon appétit andhappy listening!

THE MUSIC OF CHRISTOPHER TINChristopher will be awarded with theGuinness World RecordsTM title for Firstvideogame theme to win a Grammyaward.

The record was achieved on February 13,2011, when Civilization IV became the firstgame to feature a Grammy-winning themesong. Composer Christopher Tin (USA)won in the Best Instrumental ArrangementAccompanying Vocalist(s) category with“Baba Yetu”, some six years after thesong gained acclaim and attention as theopening theme of Civilization IV.

Flocks a Mile Wide (World Premiere)

‘Flocks a Mile Wide’ was originally com-posed for a film by Oscar-nominated docu-mentary director Deborah Dickson called‘The Lost Bird Project’—a beautiful andmoving study of the extinction of birdspecies. It was inspired by descriptions ofthe passenger pigeon—a bird that wasonce so numerous, that enormous flockswould stretch across the sky for miles.While once numbering in the billions, thepassenger pigeon was hunted to extinc-tion in the late 19th-century. This pieceevokes the beauty of a flock of birds slowlytwisting and undulating through the sky,but tinged with a profound sense of lossstemming from one of the worst man-made extinctions in history.

Calling All Dawns

Calling All Dawns was a four-year labor oflove. My goal was to create a work thatwove together disparate cultural influ-ences into a unified work. The goal was toaffirm a simple message—that despite ourdifferences in beliefs and skin color, we allshare common human experiences: we’reall born, we all die, and we all, in one wayor another, give life to those around us.

THE MUSIC OF SYDNEY GUILLAUME“Lesklavaj” from AyitiText by Gabriel T. Guillaume

Mwen soti Afrika, nan peyi papa mwen;Nan batiman franse, espagnòl ak angle,Tonbe Amerika, peyi mwen pa konnen:Tou sa se Ayiti, tou sa se istwa mwen.

Nou soti Afrika ak tout relijyon nou,Ak vaksin, ak tanbou, ak tout sa ki nanm nou.Nou ponkò debake, mechan desonnen nou,Yo sèmante twa fwa fò yokonvèti nou.

Yo fè sa yo kapab pou fè nou pèdi tèt nou,

Pou’n bliye zansèt yo ki chita nan Ginen,Pou nou koupe fache ak pawòl Libète,Pawòl Egalite ak pawòl Dignite.

Nou pase twa san zan anba chenn lesklavaj;

La jounen kon lannuit n’ape redi travay,Nou pote chay sou tèt, nou pote sou zepòl,

Pou zòt ka banbile nan peyi metropòl.Lesklavaj se degoutans!

Texts and Translations

Slavery

I come from Africa, the land of my father;From the French, Hispanic and English ships,I landed in the Americas, the unfamiliar land.This is Haiti, this is my story.

We come from Africa with our strong religion,With bamboos, with drums, with all our souls.Right when we debarked, the villains muted us,They swore a thousand times they would convert me.

They did all they could to make us loseour mind,

To forget about our ancestors in Africa,And impede our words of Liberty,Words of Equality, Words of Dignity.

We spent three hundred years under thechains of slavery;

Night and day we struggled with work,Carrying loads on our heads, loads on our shoulders,

For others to rejoice in the metropolitan lands.Slavery is revulsion!

Dominus VobiscumText by Gabriel T. Guillaume

Gran Mèt-la avèk nou,Li la nan mitan nou,Li la nan fon kè nou,Amen, Amen, Aleluya.

Depi nan tan benmboNap mache, nap chèche, nap mande:Ki lè, ki tan, ki jou,Limiè-a va leve pou vin delivre nou?

Limiè la pè-a,Limiè la verite-a,Limiè la joua-a,Limiè lespwa-a,Limiè lanmou-a,Limiè la vi-a.

The Lord be with you

The Lord is with us,He is among us,He is in the depths of our hearts,Amen, Amen, Alleluia.

Since the beginning of timeWe have been searching, seeking, asking:When will the light come, at last,to deliver us?

The light of peace,The light of truth,The light of joy,The light of hope,The light of love,The light of life.


Lincoln Center

Jodia an nou chante:“Dominus vobiscum”

Gran Mèt-la avèk nou,Li la nan mitan nou,Li la nan fon kè nou,Amen, Amen, Aleluya.

Mache, chèche, mande:Li la nan mitan nou;Mache, chèche, mande:Li la nan fon kè nou.

Amen, Amen, Aleluya.

Today, let us all sing:“Dominus vobiscum”

The Lord is with us,He is among us,He is in the depths of our hearts,Amen, Amen, Alleluia.

Search, seek, ask:He is among us;Search, seek, ask:He is in the depths of our hearts.

Amen, Amen, Alleluia.

Pour Toi, MèreText by Gabriel T. Guillaume

Du fond de ma mémoire,Au creux de mes souvenirs,Entre mes joies d’enfantEt tous mes rêve d’avenir,Je te sens mon bèl ange;Je te vois mon amourO ma mère au coeur tendre,Ma fidèle amie de toujours.

Je t’aime, je t’aimeJe t’aime tant,Maman, maman, douce maman.Pour ton amour et ta bonté,Je chanterai toute ma vie.

(Ahh…)

Mon âme délire aux cris de ta douleur;Ma musique s’éstompe et gémit salangueur.

Seigneur, dans ta bonté,Réconforte ma mère.Donne lui ton amour ta force et talumière.Qu’elle demeure à jamais ma grandeinspiration,Et que ma vie pour elle soit une bénédiction.

(Ahh…)

For You, Mother

From the depths of my memory,With the hollow of my memories,Between the joys of my childhoodAnd all my future dreams,I feel you my beautiful angelI see you my loveO my mother of a kindest heart,My faithful friend of always.

I love you, I love you,I love so immensely,Mother, mother, sweet mother.For your love and your kindness,I will sing your praises all of my life.

(Ahh…)

My soul is delirious at the cries of yourpain;My music throbs and groans its length.

Lord, in your kindness,Comfort my mother.Give her your love, your strength andyour light.For she remains forever my great inspira-tion,And that my life for her is a blessing.

(Ahh…)

writes music for the concert hall, but alsofor film, video games and commercials.His albums have reached #1 on theBillboard charts, his songs have been sam-pled by rappers and covered by tranceacts, and he’s had entire concerts atCarnegie Hall devoted to his music. Healso collaborates with a wide variety ofartists: from electronic music pioneers, toopera legends, to international stars ofworld music.

He made history with his song “BabaYetu,” winning the first Grammy everawarded to a piece of music written for avideo game (Civilization IV) – then madehistory again by winning the last everGrammy for Best Classical CrossoverAlbum (for Calling All Dawns). He followedthat album up in 2014 with another fusionof world and classical music, The DropThat Contained the Sea, debuting at #1 on

Billboard’s classical charts, and premieringto a sold out audience at Carnegie Hall’sStern Auditorium.

Tin grew up in northern California, firmlygrounded in classical music, but with aheavy musical wanderlust: playing in jazzcombos, writing musicals for his class-mates, and obsessively listening to ’70sclassic rock concept albums. As he gotolder he supplemented his formal trainingby studying the music and languages ofdifferent cultures, but also by immersinghimself in the underground rave scene of’90s San Francisco. He did his undergradu-ate composition studies at Stanford andOxford; then won a Fulbright Scholarshipto study at the Royal College of Music inLondon, where he graduated at the headof his class.

He now lives and works in Santa Monica,where he serves as Governor of the LAChapter of the Recording Academy.
