PROGRAM NOTES
Island Songs, Stephen Leek (1959-, Australia)
These songs have been composed as adaptations of traditional songs of the islands from the north of Australia.
No attempt has been made to translate or interpret the text or language in which these songs are traditionally
sung, but an attempt has been made to capture the essence and joy for singing which is central to the music
making from this region.
– Stephen Leek
Tornado Blues (1945), Paul Bowles
This is the only piece Bowles wrote for chorus and piano and displays his gift for incorporating American
vernacular in his compositional style. The bluesy feel comes from the dissonance of playing major and minor
chords simultaneously.... as close to a replication of a harmonica ‘bendig’ a note as one can do on a piano!
– Irene Herrmann
Coyote Stories (1983/87), Lou Harrison In 1987, the Gamelan Si Aptos was invited to play on the musical series of St. John the Baptist Episcopal
Church in Capitola. I consulted with Father Larry Mikkelson of the church to discover if there might have been an
interesting text for that time of the liturgical year which I might set. There proved not to be one that inspired me, so
I took my cue from my friend and colleague Daniel Kelly, whose shadow show was to occupy the second half of
the program and which was based on an American Indian story. I therefore chose four coyote stories which I had
found in a book by Bruce Walter Barton. Several years before, as a spin-off of my Mass for Saint Cecilia’s Day,
commissioned for the Saint Cecilia Society of Santa Cruz, I had made a chant-tone rather like the psalm-tones of
High Church use, and a short gamelan piece in the form of a ketawang, for use between phrases or texts. Coyote
to many Indian groups represents God or, as one author puts it, “the mighty something”. He is, however, subject
to “goofing”. Sometimes he gets things right and sometimes not. This is a profound intuition of what we are once
more beginning to learn about the universe. I especially like the story that once the stars were evenly spaced, but
that Coyote at one point goofed again and now look at them.....every which way. The original four stories were
later performed as a shadow show, by the Gamelan Son of Lion, with Barbara Benary as dalang. For Larry Reed
I have composed a new first story, from a poem Elderberry Flute Song by Peter Blue Cloud, in which the universe
arises from the music of a flute.
– Lou Harrison
Later (1990), some of the Coyote Stories were used as the vocal movement in Lou’s Symphony No. 4 (“Last
Symphony”)
– Charles Hanson
Pieces of Wood, Steve Reich (1973)
Music for Pieces of Wood grows out of a desire to make music with the simplest possible instruments. The
rhythmic structure is based on the process of rhythmic ‘build-ups,’ or the substitution of beats for rests, and is in
three sections of decreasing pattern length: 6/4, 4/4, 3/4.
– Steve Reich
Slant, Charles Boone
I have written a large number of pieces for percussion instruments, of which Slant is a modest example. The
percussion family has the widest range of colors of any of the orchestral groups, but my pieces all are on
the black-and-white side, featuring, instead, the rhythmic aspects of drums. For that reason, I don’t call them
percussion pieces at all; instead, they are drum pieces for drummers, plain and simple. On my work table at the
moment, however, is a half-finished piece for percussion quartet — percussion in the larger sense of the word, in
this case — that I hope will be finished before too long. Stay tuned. 4
COMPOSER BIOS
STEPHEN LEEK (born Sydney, Australia, 1959)
Stephen Leek has established a reputation for his unique work as a composer who takes music out of the concert
hall and to the people. He has received the highest accolades for his work, especially for his choral compostions
which are “fresh and imaginitive, whilst easy on the ear”. His compositional output ranges from simple songs
for the youngest singer to masterworks of the choral repertoire for more mature voices. In 1991, his Once on a
Mountain recieved the “Sounds Australian Award for the Best Choral Composition by an Australian Composer”.
He is frequently performed and recorded by such ensembles as St. Peters Chorale, Sydney Children’s Choir,
Young Voices of Melbourne, The Australian Voices, Chanticeer, and The St. Olaf Choir. www.stephenleek.com
CHRIS PRATORIUS
Chris Pratorius is a composer, music educator and accompanist who work in the greater Bay Area. He received
both his B.A. and M.A. from UCSC and has lived in Santa Cruz for almost 20 years. Chris’ works have been
performed in Istanbul, New York, Boston, Manitoba, New Haven, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Omaha, Annandale
VA, Tempe AZ, Guatemala and in the greater Santa Cruz area. In addition to composing he has taught at UCSC
as a lecturer in theory, musicianship, ear training, music literature and piano. Currently Chris is Staff Accompanist
at The Studio, School of Classical Ballet in Soquel and teaches theory at the Longay Conservatory of Guitar in
Santa Clara.
PAUL BOWLES (1910-1999)
Paul Bowles, best known for his writing (novels, travel essays, short stories) spent his early creative life as a
composer. In this medium, he is best known for his art-song and piano music (both solo and duo). During the 30s
- 60s, he was in a circle of artists and musicians that included Virgil Thomson, Aaron Copland, Gertrude Stein,
and Tennessee Williams. Bowles’ other contribution to the world of American Arts and Letters include translations
(from French, Spanish, Italian), Incidental Music for the theatre and Music Criticism.
LOU HARRISON (1917-2003)
For fifty years, Lou Harrison was in the vanguard of American composers. An innovator of musical composition
and performance that transcended cultural boundaries, Harrison’s highly acclaimed work juxtaposes and
synthesizes musical dialects from virtually every corner of the world. Lou was born in Portland, Oregon, and
raised in the culturally diverse San Francisco Bay Area, where he was influenced by Cantonese Opera, Gregorian
chants and the music of California’s Spanish and Mexican cultures. As a young man, Lou worked as a dancer
and a dance accompanist, while studying composition and World Music with Henry Cowell. Lou met John Cage
through Cowell and the two students created a wealth of percussion music that freely mingled junkyard-items
with percussion instruments indigenous of Asia, Africa and the Americas. In 1941 Lou began a year of study with
Arnold Schoenberg in Los Angeles, followed by nearly a decade in New York, during which time he wrote music
reviews for the Herald Tribune under the editorship of Virgil Thomson. In addition to reviewing, Lou composed
prolifically, built instruments, and continued his editing of Charles Ives’ music, a responsibility of Harrison’s since
1935, when Ives sent him box loads of scores. In 1946 Lou conducted the premiere of Ives’ Third Symphony,
which won the composer a Pulitzer Prize. Lou returned to the West Coast in 1953, to a cabin in the mountains of
Aptos, California. During his 50 years in Aptos, Lou composed 138 works, many that reflect his deep fondness for
Asian cultures and tunings.
STEPHEN REICH (b. New York,1936)
American-born composer Steve Reich is considered one of the most important living composers of our time,
recognized internationally for his impact on different genres of music. His music embraces not only aspects of
Western Classical music, but also structures, harmonies and rhythms of non-Western and American vernacular
music, particularly jazz. Reich pioneered the style of minimalist music and his works are performed by major
orchestras and ensembles across the globe. Reich has been described as one of “a handful of living composers
who can legitimately claim to have altered the direction of musical history.” Reich received his M.A. in Music from
5
Mills College in 1963, where he worked with Luciano Berio and Darius Milhaud. Reich has received numerous
awards including the 2006 Preamium Imperial award in Music, the 2007 Polar Music Prize from the Royal
Swedish Academy of music and 2009 Pulitzer Prize for his Double Sextet.

CHARLES BOONE

Percussionists have included William Winant, Jan Williams, Robyn Schulkowsky,Lukas Schiske, Jack Van Geem,
Jerome Neff, David Rosenthal, and Rick Kvistad, among many others. A couple of years back, two of the trios
were splendidly played in Santa Cruz on a New Music Works concert.”

elements of western classical, blues, and jazz. Most recently Bill has been collaborating with Turkish electronic

guitar. A detailed relief carving of Kannon, the bodhisattva Goddess of Mercy, is on the headstock. Check Bill out
