Happy New Year, everybody. Much else is new: David Fuqua is our new editor of Consorting (thanks, David!), relieving Dennis Báthory-Kitsz after many extra innings (thanks, Dennis!). Larry Read has stepped down as Director, having agreed to take the role for a year during which he led us ably (thanks, Larry!) thus catapulting me into the position of Acting Director, even though I've never been much good at acting or directing.
Not everything was wonderful, of course: too few submissions of scores in several categories led to imbalances in programming, with some composers overrepresented and others neglected (partly from time constraints, partly the result of performers' choices); there was a limited range of musical styles, with a dearth of "cutting edge" material for instrumental and vocal forces; a couple of programs went way over acceptable length; a couple were poorly attended; some composers whose works were being presented didn't show up. We did well; next time, though, we'll do better.
It's astonishing to recall what our plucky little organization (with a total annual budget that wouldn't keep most arts groups in coffee and doughnuts) has accomplished during its brief few years. We've had large festivals in Burlington, Putney, Montpelier, Middlebury, and Woodstock, as well as the peripatetic FourScore. We've brought together scores of Vermont composers, and their scores. (Just a little levity, there. Sorry.) We've midwifed hundreds of performances of new and recent works, introducing them into the repertory of dozens of fine singers and players. We've established relationships with such important presenters as the ones named above, as well as the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, the Vermont Contemporary Music Ensemble, the Craftsbury Chamber Players, Sara Doncaster's ambitious Warebrook Festival, WVPR, and many others. We've cultivated new audiences, new venues, new commissions. We've increased Vermonters' awareness of the the wealth of creative musical talent in their own neiqhborhoods. We've assembled an aviary of birds who don't ordinarily þock together: composers amateur, professional, and academic; traditionalists and iconoclasts; purveyors of electronic music, performance art, keyboard improvisation, singing-songwriting in contemporary idiom-as well as the usual bleary-eyed strict-notationists (like me) in European/American modernist mode.
Where do we go from here?
Some consensus emerged during an informal meeting in January at the Tunbridge home of treasurer Don Stewart. We're pursuing (cautiously) nonprofit status. We're seeking new grant sources. We're saying a reluctant goodbye to the large festivals of the past, given their logistical demands and the unpleasant realities of arts funding at the millenium. Now that our music is "out there" among audiences and in the repertory of performers, we're going to encourage its continued dissemination by offering to co-sponsor programs that feature music by CVC members. The Consortium itself will present periodically a "sampler" program of moderate length, representing as full a range as possible of works by CVC composers, repeated in various locations around the state. We'll try to increase our presence in the media, especially radio, through local and statewide stations as well as nationally if (with our endorsement, among others') Dennis Kitsz and David Gunn get national distribution of their interview show.
What do you think of all this? Tell Consorting.
Here's what else you should do:
The Vermont Music Teachers Association is commissioning a piece to be premiered at the Fall 1997 Quad State Convention to be held in Maine. The Quad State Convention combines the efforts of Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts.
We invite you to apply to be considered for the VMTA Composer of the Year award and cash prize of $600. As the Vermont winner, you would be eligible for consideration in the Music Teachers National Association's Distinguished Composer of the Year Competition, which promises an award of $2500 and a performance of the winning work at the next MTNA national convention.
Su Lian Tan of Middlebury's Department ofMusic is spearheading a collaborative weekend gathering of entertainment and academic professionals, as well as students, involved in all aspects of composing, recording, and performing, vocal music.
"All the music performed is to be as new as possible," Tan says. "We'll have folk, opera, arrangements of jazz standards, voice with electric bass music hot off the presses."
Students and faculty members from Middlebury, Bennington, Bard, and Dartmouth colleges will present selected compositions of the last year, and a top-notch group of professionals will lecture and perform. All members of the town and gown communities are invited to attend the free lectures, workshops, and concerts in the Young Composers' Conference: Festival of the Human Voice II.
The March weekend offers a stimulating and densely scheduled program of events. The Friday evening concert features Huun Huur Tu, a vocal and instrumental group from Tuva, Siberia; Saturday night's concert, under the direction of Middlebury College Orchestra conductor Evan Bennett, includes excerpts of Ned Rorem's War Scenes, with David Yee, baritone, and Daron Hagen, piano; arrangements by Middlebury students Amy Wlodarski '97 and Jeremy Davidson '97, as well as students from other colleges, of Claude Debussy's Arriettes Oubliés; Su Lian Tan's arrangements of popular songs for female trio; and the Vermont premiere of Daron Hagen's Songs of Madness and Sorrow, with Paul Sperry tenor, and 14 players. Sunday afternoon's concert presents excerpts from Dear Youth by Bard's Daron Hagen; electronic works by George Todd of Middlebury and Jon Appleton of Dartmouth; excerpts from Gimpel the Fool, an original opera by Middlebury students; and other selections.
Lectures take place throughout the three-day conference: George Todd wlll speak on the voice and electronics; Robert Pack will talk about the relationship between words and music; Daron Hagen will discuss the marriage of pop music and operatic techniques in his opera Vera of Las Vegas; Lowell Liebermann will discuss the premiere by the Opera Company of Monte Carlo of his full-length Picture of Dorian Gray; Ted Levin from Dartmouth, along with members of Huun Huur Tu, will present a lecture-demonstration on the relationship of vocal music and ecology; Paul Sperry, tenor, who has commissioned a number of vocal works, will discuss his collaborations with composers; and Frances Richard, director of the Concert Music Division of ASCAP, and her associate Cia Toscanini (yes, the maestro's granddaughter) will discuss the intersection of art and commerce.
Members of Thomas Fellowship join the students and faculty of the Department of Music in serving as hosts throughout the weekend as Middlebury presents this diverse and respected group of movers and shakers in the world of vocal music. Full details of times, places, and subjects of each workshop, lecture, and concert program are available in a brochure; request one by calling (802) 443-5221.

The Pauline Oliveros Foundation is pleased to announce the Seventh Annual Deep Listening™ Retreat with Composer Pauline Oliveros and T'ai Chi, Taoist and Creative Movement specialist Heloise Gold at the Rose Mountain Retreat Center in the Sangre de Christo Mountains of New Mexico July 13-18, 1997. The Second Annual Advanced Deep Listening Retreat follows from July 20-25. The advanced retreat is for those who have completed at least one Deep Listening Retreat at Rose Mountain.The first week-long training is designed to awaken creativity and a sense of well being through the meditative exploration of listening and sounding, and to learn flexibility in as many forms of listening as possible. Listening and sounding is complemented by gentle creative movement and exercises. Participants may also begin the three year Deep Listening Certificate program to qualify for teaching. Two more advanced retreats and two year long home study projects based on the retreat work are required for the certificate.
Deep Listening Retreat participants are not required to be musicians. The exercises are designed to facilitate challenge for each individual at her own level of understanding and creative experience. This Retreat is for anyone interested in expanding and deepening respect and appreciation of an inner music and the possibilities for expressing it: musicians and artists interested in expanding their understanding of sound; meditators interested in enhancing their depth of practice through listening; teachers who want to encourage appreciation for listening in their students; and those interested in well being, relaxation, excitement and connection with others and the environment.
Rose Mountain Retreat Center is situated 8,000 ft. up in the pristine Sangre de Christo Mountains of New Mexico. Camping is encouraged, with optional space available for indoor accommodations and participants are provided with healthful, vegetarian meals. The beauty and tranquillity of the center rests on its isolation, simplicity and low-impact relationship with the environment. Far removed from the sounds of urban life, Rose Mountain provides a rich quiet for deep listening.

A quick look at Schenker's Five Graphic Music Analyses with introduction by Felix Salzer (Dover reprint 1969 from the 1933 edition from the Mannes College of Music) shows a brilliant visual way of approaching music. Not only does a passage have a natural and intuitive beginning and End, as every teacher inculcates, but there are inner sections which fold out, and within each are smaller coherences, down to slurs and even ties. Understanding the building blocks of a passage, from minor phrases to the overall contour is essential for sensitive interpretation, and Schenker has laid out a method of visual patterning to show both the macro and micro structure at one glance. Actually it takes a lot of glances, but if you look carefully it is all in there.
This was especially interesting to me because for years I was doing a very similar poetry graphing for literature students, with events contoured on a ten foot long roll of 12-inch paper in colored lines, the vertical axis representing strength of effect and the horizontal axis representing time. When more than a handful of the "contour lines" congregated about a given point, we always found there a special focus of intensity, a poetic node. The students made their own graphs, which opened their eyes to what was going into good poetry, but my colleagues passed the wall where our streams of graphs were posted with a sneer and never had a notion of what we were doing. So with Schenker, with a novel and complex approach of this kind one can easily be set off miss the point.
Reading the detailed commentaries in Salzer's Structural Hearing (2 vols. 1952, Dover 1962), one comes to the conclusions that:
Starting with a general music base rather than a harmonic predisposition, I state:
Summary: Certain basic features must exist. There must be tones and optionally spaces. There must be more than one tone, thus series or voice or melody-line, which will have some sort of rhythm, stretching from perfectly even to incomprehensibly variable. Register will exist as a variant of pitch, since mono-tone music is invariably monotonous. Right after this we will want to specify the kind of sound, that is instrumentation and orchestration.
Now we come to the critical area. Salzer's harmonic spectrum has at its core a small cluster of tone-relationships, the beatless octave, relatively pure fifth and fourth, rich and buzzy third/sixth, while the rest fall in the class of the so-called dissonances of various sorts. Triadic at heart, this layout is beautiful, and has served the West well for centuries, but after the turn of this century, it was felt to be restrictive in a culture where everything else from Einsteinian relativity to Cubism was going through radical change.
Look for a moment at the intervals of the scales we use in the West. The octave was known from antiquity for its peculiar quality of beatlessness, in Just Intonation fifth and fourth shared this quality, adjusting by ear for ensemble playing. In the 14th Century, the Church finally permitted use of thirds and sixths, which had been outlawed because of their disturbing, high beat rate. With the development of equal temperament for piano and organ, small amounts of beat were introduced for fourths and fifths, slightly enriching these intervals (at the cost of the old purity). By the 17th Century, thirds/sixths with their fast and exciting beat rates, were established as central to music which became triadic by rule. An open octave or open fifth/fourth were not to be used without a major/minor third inserted, and we became used to this as The Sound of Music. On the one side of this musical spectrum stood, aloof and unused, the pure octaves, just fifth and fourth. The mid-range of triadic combinations was now basic, to be pointed-up here and there with seconds in a triadic display, or for momentary passing effect. On the other end of our spectrum stood the dissonances, the major and minor seconds, the tritone, timbral clashes, and arpeggios of fourths as a sort of scale replacement -- all used most cautiously in the last century, but coming to the fore with this century's New Music, with its anti-triadic obsessions.
Two tone harmonies, simultaneous or sequential, can range from pure and beatless in their charming emptiness, through the rich, chocolatey, piled-up thirds and sixths, on to the world of dissonance which can be sly and intuitive, dynamic and shocking, or as novel to our ears as a melodic run of parallel tritones. Register and timbre from many instruments complexify this greatly, so it is no longer a question of what series of Schoenbergian notes we use, but a matter of how wide our spectrum of pitch, register, instrumental timbre, and neo-harmonic beating-richness can be. Add to this the tone-slides of the violin, trombone or synth., and the quarter tones of Indian music, and we have more than enough for New Music in New Directions.
But form remains. There is still beginning and end, even if they don't sound like it any more. There are still scale series, and chordal effects even if they come from voices bumping each other in time. And there are micro-relationships all over the page of score which build into musical paragraphs, and finally define the total musical display, as in Schenker's overall, condensed Ur-linie. Schenker said, you do not compose to this Ur-linie, rather it is the analytical statement of what an intuitive musician with Improvising Mind (it is his word here, not mine) fits together with craft as his work.
Turn to Schenker's graphical display (Five Graphic Music Analyses, ed Salzer., 1933, Dover reprint 1969) with its wonderful sense of inner structure and overall form. Here we can see the analysis of where the voices come from and where they are leading to, and what inner relationships they have, but in a specialized way. Things were seen by Schenker as forever referring to a triadic display or listed as dissonant, that is, outside the harmonic series (the minor second, the tritone, distant parallel fifths). But they now can all be taken as the tones of Conscious Design and Intent. Scales built on fourths, or pentatonically, or a Lydian sequence are open for our use. Nor do we have to end a piece with a dominant-to-tonic resolution, or even a tonic-like finale. We can flirt with tonic for a while, then end on the seventh, effectively. Tones four octaves apart have strikingly different timbral properties.
We have to rethink the whole gamut of available beat-relationships, which become available as we leave the tempered piano and organ for wind instruments, string and synth. These Neo-harmonic relationships become the basis for a new kind of analysis, but one which we can still insert within the framework of a Schenkerian visual and graphical display. There is a reason for use of graphic display, as Salzer notes: There are relationships which the ear hears well, but the eye understands quite differently, and in some ways more coherently.
I am not thinking of abandoning Salzer's harmonic analysis. It would be the worst kind of snobbery to think that Modern Music must construct its melodic-notions, as often happens, out of continual minor seconds and augmented fourths. To outlaw a major triad from new music, would be like rejecting the reds and yellows from a painter's palette. By expanding our notion of sound, we can use, with relish, the traditional harmonic world , and at the same time work with sound-relationships which Classical composers could not have imagined or heard.
Would such mixed music, spanning in its tone-relationships from Gregorian through developed Diatonic and on to the options we have at hand, sound odd and idiosyncratic? It is to be hoped so, because the Greek word idio-syncratic means literally a private-mixture, a personal way of putting things together. In a highly social world where everyone, including many a composer, is busy trying to look like everyone else, having a Private Mixture in mind is perhaps the most important thing one can do in so vital a discipline as the art of music.

According to the brochure, "If great contemporary music is to continue to be created in America, gifted young composers must be nurtured and their work supported. With public and private funding for the performing arts diminishing, it is imperative that the business and academic communities take a more active role in encouraging the growth and development of our nation’s young talent." The competition, sponsored by BMG Music Service and Williams College, "has a single purpose: to promote the creation and performance of contemporary music by today’s most promising young composers."

On November 13, 1996, there was an entire program of the music of Larry Grover presented at the Faulkner Recital Hall in Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. Larry performed at the piano, assisted by Kathi Byam (in Larry’s Flute Sonata), Randy Collyer (in excerpts of Larry’s and Randy’s Drawing on Musical Time), and Thomas Jones, baritone, who premiered Larry’s Songs of Gay Love. (Thomas Jones sang a work of Larry’s when he participated in the 1994 Vermont Composers Festival in Woodstock.)
Zeke Hecker reports that he's been busy this summer completing the orchestration for his musical comedy Barrataria, based on the play The Island of Barrataria by Royall Tyler, Vermont jurist and author during the Federalist era (resident in Guilford and Brattleboro, Zeke's proud to say). Tyler is best known for "The Contrast," as well as the novel The Algerine Captive and reams of poetry, but The Island of Barrataria was virtually unknown and probably unperformed until an outdoor production in Guilford in 1976; Consortium member Don McLean, something of a Tyler scholar, was largely responsible for this revival, for which Zeke composed incidental music. It seemed to him that the play would make an entertaining musical comedy, and the idea simmered for nearly two decades, after which he hauled out the script, jettisoned all but a couple of numbers from the incidental music, and began writing two dozen new songs and and concerted numbers. That was three years ago, and now the project is nearly complete. Friends of Music at Guilford has plans to produce the work sometime within the next year or so.

The Kalvos & Damian New Music Bazaar -- radio show and website for new music -- has begun its 1997 travels to record interviews with composers in North America and Europe. The Bazaar is broadcast every Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 on WGDR-FM 91.1 in Plainfield, Vermont. The Bazaar also begins internetcasting in February from its home page, http://www.maltedmedia.com/kalvos/, in RealAudio 3, a high-quality, stereo audio stream. Though the internetcasts will begin with the current shows, eventually all 90 past shows will also be archived. K&D are also preparing edited shows for radio stations in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.Vermont composers were consistently featured in the show's first year, with more than 30 interviews, but have been sparse in 1996. Vermont composers are very much encouraged to contact the producers, Dennis Báthory-Kitsz (802-485-3972; 176 Cox Brook Road, Northfield, Vermont 05663) and David Gunn (802-244-1747; 7 Huntington Place, Waterbury, Vermont 05676). Composer interviews and music run 60 to 80 minutes on each program. Since the last Consorting, K&D show guests have included electroacoustician Marc Battier and Kitchen co-founder Rhys Chatham (Paris), artificial intelligence expert Peter Beyls (Brussels), sustained-music creator Maria de Alvear and composer/theorist Klarenz Barlow (Cologne), orchestral addict Benedict Mason (Amsterdam), eclectic chamber composer Richard St. Clair (Boston), and post-minimalist Michael Torke (New York). A special presentation upcoming on K&D's February 8 show is "Gimpel the Fool", an opera by students of Su Lian Tan of Middlebury. The opera, complete with 16 instrumentalists, will be performed live in the Bazaar's performance studio at WGDR. Michael Torke was recorded in his apartment in New York City. New York visits also included groundbreaking electroacoustician David Behrman, opera composer Daron Hagon (who will be at the upcoming Middlebury vocal music festival), creator of computer-generated rock music Nick Didkovsky (Dr. Nerve, coming to Dartmouth April 5), eclecticist Jeff Harrington, electroacoustician/improviser Tom Hamilton, performance artist Peter Van Riper, chamber composer and quasi-pop performer Eve Beglarian, computer composer Chris Koenigsberg, and eclecticist Joseph Celli.
A tour to Toronto is also scheduled, where K&D will be joined by a wide range of creative expression represented by Gary Barwin, Bill Gilliam, Elma Miller, James Tenney, John Oswald, Linda Catlin Smith, and Udo Kasemets. Other composers are currently being scheduled for the Toronto visit.
Finally, European interviews in March will include Frederic Rzewski, Tom Johnson, Georg Hajdu, Karlheinz Essl, and Arthur Sauer, and there will be return visits with Anne La Berge and Richard Tolenaar in Amsterdam, and Rhys Chatham, Eliane Radigue, and Marc Battier in Paris. These five composers will be joining the Vermont Web Project, mentoring Vermont composition students through live, on-line chat and Midi file exchange.
Again, Vermont composers are encouraged to join the K&D show, whose schedule is open beginning in April. The composer-hosts can also be reached by email: Dennis (Contact Form) or David (wheezle@maltedmedia.com).
