QUINTESSENCE: CHORAL AR TISTS OF THE SOUTHWEST
AABBOOUUTT TTHHEE CCOONNCCEERRTT
I am the youngest of five siblings, and my brother and sisters were all born within five years of one another. The four of them formed a tight, happy unit. Then, I came along (surprise!) seven years later, and disrupted their lives, irrevocably. I was alternately adored and resented, coddled and taunted.
I married a woman who is the oldest of five, and who had a strong hand in the rearing and supervision of her younger siblings. They are all adults now, but when they gather I can immediately see Amy revert to this role, and watch her siblings revert to theirs.
In my work life, I’ve become rather accustomed to telling groups of people what to do. In directing ensembles, one has to be pretty assertive at times (especially with sopranos – they can smell fear), and I generally have no trouble doing so. And so, it drives Amy crazy when we go to visit my family and I turn into a docile pile of quivering meekness. Such is the power of birth order.
Families are complicated; this truth is one of humankind’s great equalizers. Whether your last name is Kennedy or Corleone, Bach or Brady, Manson or Windsor, the dynamics that we negotiate as members of a family system can be both joyful and maddening. This is the stuff of great art.
And so: our program this weekend reflects on family relationships, and all of the emotions associated with them. As Bernard Shaw once wrote, “If you cannot get rid of the family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.”
Some of our pieces were written to be sung to children. Simon Sargon’s “At Grandmother’s Knee” is a lovely set of Yiddish folks songs, scored for chorus with piano and clarinet. Lloyd Pfautsch’s “Songs Mein Grossmama Sang,” are faux‐Brahmsian settings of humorist Dave Morrah’s faux‐German nursery rhymes. And the choir gets to show off a vocal jazz arrangement of the great Bill Evans tune “Waltz for Debby” (which Evans wrote as a gift to his young niece).
From the English Renaissance, we present Thomas Vautor’s playful madrigal “Mother, I Will Have a Husband” and Thomas Weekles heartbreaking “When David Heard,” a setting of the verse from Samuel when David learns that he caused the death of his son, Absalom. Memories of home are evoked in songwriter/storyteller Stuart Stott’s “Music in My Mother’s House,” and in Jonathan Santore’s “House Song to the East,” an energetic and joyful setting of a Navajo blessing for a new dwelling.
We are also deeply honored to be giving the premiere performances of a gorgeous new piece by our friend Bradley Ellingboe. “Measure Me, Sky” was commissioned by one of our members and her family, to honor the memory of her mother. It’s a beautiful setting of a beautiful poem.
The final piece on our concert is a choral arrangement of the duet that ends (after about 7 hours, or so it seems) Leonard Bernstein’s musical Candide. Candide and Cunegonde, having traveled the world and endured famine, war and disfiguring disease, decide to settle down and build a life together. They sing “We’re neither pure nor wise nor good/We’ll do the best we know/We’ll build our house and chop our wood/And make our garden grow.”
In other words: we’re not perfect, but we belong to each other. Family.

Measure Me, Sky Measure me, sky! Tell me I reach by a song Nearer the stars: I have been little so long.
Weigh me, high wind! What will your wild scales record? Profit of pain, Joy by the weight of a word.
Horizon, reach out! Catch at my hands, stretch me taut, Rim of the world: Widen my eyes by a thought.
Sky, be my depth; Wind, be my width and my height; World, my heart's span: Loneliness, wings for my flight!
Leonora Speyer At Grandmother’s Knee (translations by Shane Baker) Yakov’s Lied (Jacob’s Song) “So God said to Jacob . . .” Oy, dear father you promised me “Don't fear, my servant Jacob” Oh, woe, dear father Why do are we beaten? Why are we persecuted? When will it end? Oh when? Viglid (Lullaby) Go to Hebrew school, my child. Learn continually there from Hebrew language up to the holy books. That will protect you from evil and trouble. Run, my child, to the rabbi. He will give you nourishment for your soul. Run to him and learn; listen to him as you would to God. Go, my child, learn. Learn with great interest. It’s the best thing in the world you can do.
A Simkhe Tanz (A Joyous Dance) The dear little rabbi, and his dear little helper the dear little cantor and the dear little sexton all of the holy men are about to dance! Shout, everyone, loudly with all your strength! The rabbi himself is about to dance! TSAAR (Sorrow) How can I be happy when all my paths are ruined? when I recall his beautiful face. How can I live? I eat and drink and sleep at night but my heart is lost in thought when I recall her beautiful face. How can I live? Di M’zinka Oisgegeben (My Youngest Daughter is Married) Stronger, better make the dance circle bigger! God has made me great. He has brought me luck. Live it up all night, children; I've married off my youngest daughter! Isaac, Missac Grandma's dancing a Kazatsky. No evil eye, look how she steps! How she taps her feet and spins! Oh, a joy, oh a happiness! The youngest daughter is married off! Itzy, Shpitzy Why are you keeping your fiddle bow quiet? Shout at the musicians Are they playing or are they sleeping? Tear all the strings in two! The youngest daughter has been married off!
Songs Mein Grossmama Sang (Texts by Dave Morrah) I. Fraulein Bo‐Peepen
ben losen der sheepen, und puzzlen mit der gelooken. Later der sheepen ben homen gecreepen mit tailers behinder geshooken.
II. Jack der Spratt ben liken lean.
Der Frau ben liken fat. Und mit der upgerisen cost, Der bankenroll ben flat.
III. Jack und Jill upwent das hill
Ein pailer mit water upfillen. Jack ben trippen und obergeflippen Und Jill der water ben spillen.
Der reasoner Jack ben getrippen
iss simplisch: Jack ben attempten ein kisser onputten. Jill ben ein cutischer fraulein und dimplisch. Und Jill ben upsetten das Jack mit der footen.
IV. Der smallisch Johann Horner
Ben gesitten in das corner Der Yuletiden strudel gestuffen. Der thumber in gesticken Und out gepullen quicken Mit burnen und blisters gepuffen!
Ubi caritas Where charity and love are, there God is. The love of Christ has gathered us into one flock. Let us exult, and in him be joyful. Let us fear and let us love the living God. And from a sincere heart let us love each other, and him.

AAbboouutt tthhee SSiinnggeerrss:: Anita Amstutz, an ordained Mennonite minister, grew up singing 4‐part hymnody in the Midwest and is enchanted to be singing with Quintessence for this first season! Shelly Andes is happy to be singing with Quintessence as we celebrate families and to be planning a Mother/Daughter California adventure to visit relatives. . . . life is good! Jadira Flamm is a graduate of New Mexico State University with a Bachelor in Music Education and the University of New Mexico with a Master's degree in Music Education and is currently the choral director at V. Sue Cleveland High School in Rio Rancho, NM. Liz Drotning Hartwell is a family law attorney, married to tenor extraordinaire Seth Hartwell, and proud mama of three‐year‐old Anna Justine. Pauleta Hendrickson is the Coordinator for Children's Music at St John's UMC, teaches music at Solomon Schechter Day School and directs the Zamir choir at Congregation Albert and when not musically occupied can be found in the company of her books, camera, needlework, stove or wonderful husband, Sean, and their two mostly wonderful children, Avery and Jared, not necessarily in that order. Julia Church Hoffman is a teacher of early childhood and elementary music education (for small and big people) at UNM, will soon be the Director of the UNM Music Prep School, is Wife/Friend/Sister/Daughter to some really interesting people, and is Mom to her two favorite people in the whole wide world. Checky Okun enjoys being a part of many families: biological‐her beautiful daughters Nina and Lia, professional‐Women's Specialists of New Mexico and Presbyterian L&D, musical‐Quintessence and a variety of musical friends (including the Jim Greer Duo), spiritual‐St Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, and nuclear‐Suzi and Chandler, all of which make her very happy and keep her extremely busy! Born into a close‐knit family with deep roots in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a peripatetic upbringing may be partly to blame for Anne Sensenig's lack of clarity about what she wants to be when she grows up (so far having dabbled, at basic levels, in immigration, refugee resettlement, law, elementary education, health, international relief and development, U.S. foreign policy, and libraries), though it no doubt encouraged her passion for languages, cultures and food; her passion for music and reading is apparently innate. Whether family is near or far away, whether we agree or disagree with them, Kris Stichman feels we have to cherish them always. MaryEllin Brooks grew up annoying her three older brothers by singing show tunes – loudly – in her parents’ basement, but a girl has to do something to unwind when she shares one bathroom with three boys. Laurel Deming makes music wherever & whenever she's allowed following a longstanding family tradition of rabid musicianship by singing in choirs since the ripe age of 2 (on pitch while swinging from the altar rail documented by the director, her grandmother) including with Quintessence continuously for 20 years (almost as long as she's been singing in choirs *wink* but somewhat better behaved), performing solo and ensemble work professionally and creating and implementing music programming for retreats, meetings and conferences but has yet to decide what she wants to be when she grows up which has made her a jack of all trades. Trish Henning makes her home with her two wonderful cats, Squeaker and Scooter, and frequently wonderful husband, Tony. Anita C. Lee, author, speaker, life coach, and founder of Authentic Success, LLC, delights in helping others become the persons they were created to be, and carves out time to sing and travel as often as possible. Heather Pedelty is a music teacher who lives with her husband and pet bird, Oiseau. Lauren Saeger is the proud daughter of Bill and Sue Gornall. Karen Schlue, alto, would like to honor her mother, Evelyn, and her cousin Sherry, both of whom left us this year and in both of whose homes there was always music. Stacey Snowden has a degree in Music from the University of New Mexico, has performed with many music groups throughout the years, and is a wife and mother to a very hilarious family. Penny Voss teaches high school choir…best job ever! Matthew Atkins is a young tenor who graduated from UNM with a degree in music, and is now living the woes of being a young tenor, who graduated with a degree in music. Bryan Butler and his wife Jodi, both born and raised in Utah, come from large families (7 and 6 kids) and wish they lived closer to them! Having sung with Placido Domingo and lost a house in Hurricane Katrina, tenor Alex Charles Klebenow, is a cancer survivor who is delighted to be in Albuquerque, (where there are no hurricanes) and singing with Quintessence. Pleased as punch to be living in the Land of Enchanted, and to be singing with such enchanting people, Jerry Matthews is honored to have found such a wonderful musical outlet, happy to have found a great place of employment (go k2md.net!), and forever grateful to his husband, Larry, and our two girls for their continuous support even during the weeks of being performance widower and orphans. Nicholas Prior is finishing his first year as Choral Director at Eisenhower Middle School. Andrew Clouse is the associate pastor for youth at Albuquerque Mennonite Church, but all the kids just call him Samuel's daddy. Martin Doviak grew up in a predominantly human family, but now lives with a family that is mostly canine, and he fondly and proudly counts among his musical brothers and sisters the singers of the newly re‐established New Mexico Symphonic Chorus, the UNM University Chorus, and, especially, the wonderful musicians of Quintessence. James K. Graham ‐‐ the middle child of five surrounded by four beautiful sisters ‐‐ relished his unique role in the family; content with the inherent loneliness as well as always being told exactly what to do, he, at least, never suffered the indignity of hand‐me‐down clothes and generally got out of washing dishes. Dr. Daryl Lee, when not singing bass for Quintessence or baritone in the St. John's Chancel Choir, is Principal Lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNM and part‐time consultant in robotics and virtual reality at Novint Technologies, but he's still not the kind of doctor who can do you any good. Dwayne Moseley is taking singing lessons with Darby Fegan and also sings in the New Mexico Gay Men’s Chorus, has previously sung in choruses at UNM and Ohio State while a student and while living in Dallas, Denver and Los Angeles and he considers it a privilege to sing with this premier vocal ensemble Arnel Oczon is an electrical and viewgraph engineer; while not at work, he is soccer dad ‐ driving his daughter Claire and teammates in a minivan to practices and tourneys near and far, doing his utmost best to aggravate opposing coaches and the occasional referee. Jonathan Saeger lived an idyllic life with his wife Lauren, their dog Jordan, and cat Bean, until one day when Matt and Amy Greer left a little angelic looking kitten at their house named Little Man who has brought constant turmoil upon the entire household. John Sitler, a meshugeh goy from Philadelphia who heard Yiddish daily from his Irish‐Catholic Yiddishe mama, teaches religious studies at Menaul School. Jerry Spurlin, former president of Gallup Federal Savings Bank, loves his retirement home in the East Mountains, which he and his wife built to be a gathering place for their son’s and daughter’s families, especially the six grandchildren, and when all twelve join hands around the kitchen island to sing the Wesleyan Grace the sound is simply amazing!
