SUMMARY:The PEN Trio Performs Jenni Brandon's Sequoia Trio
DESCRIPTION:The PEN Trio performs\, on Sunday June 16\, 2019\, Jenni Brandon‘s Sequoia Trio at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, 188 S Swinton Ave\, Delray Beach\, FL 33444. \nThe PEN Trio bridges performance and scholarship to explore and expand the repertoire for the traditional trio d’anches. The ensemble regularly tours throughout North America and abroad and has become known for the quality and energy of their performances. The PEN Trio has visited dozens of universities and has performed at numerous academic conferences\, chamber music series\, and private functions. Recent highlights include performances in Cuba\, China\, Guatemala\, Hong Kong\, Panama\, and Trinidad\, as well as appearances at the annual conferences of the International Double Reed Society\, ClarinetFest\, College Music Society\, with flutist Francesca Arnone at the 44th Annual National Flute Association Convention\, and National Association of College Wind and Percussion Instructors\, as well as radio broadcasts on Michigan and Alabama Public Radio\, as well as national radio stations in Cuba (CBMF) and Guatemala (TGW). \nJenni turned to the words of John Muir for inspiration. Each movement of The Sequoia Trio (oboe\, clarinet\, bassoon sheet music) takes a quote about Sequoia trees from John Muir’s book The Yosemite and uses it to inspire the music. The opening waving pattern creates the gentle breeze as the growth of the tree starts in the bassoon\, moving through the clarinet and is carried all the way to the top of the tree through the oboe.   Movement two is sassy and jazzy\, describing the kind of resilient attitude that young trees must maintain in order to survive. “The Three Graces” plays on the idea of the three instruments in the ensemble and Muir’s own reference to Greek mythology. Finally in “The Noble Trees” the instruments play a hymn-like tribute to the largest living things on earth. The two “Tree Interludes” represent the individual voice of a tree and its story. \nI. Sequoiadendron giganteum: The Big Tree\n“Southward the giants become more and more irrepressibly jubilant\, heaving their massive crowns into the sky from every ridge and slope\, waving onward in graceful compliance with the complicated topography of the region.” \nMovement II. “A crowd of hopeful young trees and saplings…”\n“But here for every old storm-beaten giant there are many in their prime and for each of these a crowd of hopeful young trees and saplings\, growing vigorously on moraines\, rocky ledges\, along water courses and meadows.”\n\nIII. The Three Graces\n“Groups of two or three (sequoias) are often found standing close together…They are called “loving couples\,” “three graces\,” etc… By the time they are full-grown their trunks will touch and crowd against each other…” \nMovement IV. The Noble Trees\n“…the Big Trees (sequoia gigantean)\, the king of all the conifers in the world\, ‘the noblest of the noble race.’” \n– Quotes taken from The Yosemite\, 1912\nby John Muir\nText is in the public domain.

SUMMARY:Multitudinous Stars and Spring Waters Performed At The Belvedere Chamber Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Jenni Brandon’s “Multitudinous Stars and Spring Waters for soprano and oboe” performed by Esther Gray Lemus\, soprano and Michelle Vigneau\, oboe at the Belvedere Chamber Music Festival\, June 19-22\, 2019\,Grace-St. Luke’s Episcopal Church\, 1720 Peabody\, Memphis\, TN. Concerts each evening at 7:00\, Friday and Saturday afternoon at 3:00. Admission is free. \nMultitudinous Stars and Spring Waters represents a collection of women poets from a vast period of Chinese history. The poems in it come from the collection of poems “ Women Poets of China”. This book\, edited and translated by Kenneth Rexroth and Ling Chung\, explores poetry from many centuries both attributed to and written by women poets.\nThroughout the centuries Chinese women were not allowed to share their poetry. They were basically property of their husbands\, having no rights to money\, property\, or education. Poetry was written in secret\, often destroyed or shared only amongst other women. It has been just in the 20th century that Chinese women poets began to freely write and share their poetry.\nWithin this work are three main poems:\no Spring Song\no Thinking of Someone\no Married Love\nThese make up the larger picture of love and waiting\, sometimes with disappointment and grief\, of admiration\, of marriage and of eternal love. In between are selections\, almost like Haiku\, from the poem “Multitudinous Stars and Spring Waters” by Ping Hsin. These feel like fragments of thoughts; like what you’d think silently to yourself\, before and after the bigger declarations of the messages from the three larger poems.\nThematically\, all of the poems tie together. There are day and night themes (“Spring Song” moves into “Bright moon”). There’s the “ocean of thoughts” and the turbulent waters of the heart (“The orphan boat” and “Thinking of Someone”). And of course there is limitless\, eternal love\, like the night sky full of stars (“Void only” and “Married Love”). But the whole work is a love song – telling that age-old story of the push and pull of emotions that only love can cause. The soprano and oboe are equals in this intertwining duet in telling this love story. Both bring emotional weight to the work as they journey into eternal love as told through the final lines of the work:\nI am in your clay. You are in my clay.\nIn life we share a single quilt.\nIn death we will share one coffin.\nCommissioned by Dr. Amy Yeung of the University of Tennessee-Martin\, it was her vision of wanting to tell a love story through the voices of her culture that led to the creation of this work. Premiered by Dr. Yeung and Dr. Douglas Owens at the University of Tennessee-Martin in March 2018. Co-Commissioned by Esther Gray Lemus\, Soprano. \n“Spring Song” By Kenneth Rexroth\, from the original by Meng Chu\, translated by Kenneth Rexroth and Ling Chung\, from WOMEN POETS OF CHINA\, copyright ©1973 by Kenneth Rexroth and Ling Chung.
