Its five members—Natasha Penfield, Jilaine Orton, Ryan Narciso, Kenji Lee and Taylor Caswell—met at the University of Victoria’s School of Music and formed the group out of a desire to make music together and continue growing as artists. Inspired by a cappella powerhouses such as Pentatonix, The Real Group and M-Pact, Fifth Street combines the worlds of pop, jazz and R&B in perfect five-part harmony. Natasha Penfield has a passion for any kind of music—especially jazz, pop, and funk. Natasha’s studies with Anne Grimm at the University of Victoria (BMus ‘18) have helped her to grow as a performer and develop vocal techniques that she now uses across all genres. When she isn’t singing with Fifth Street, you can often find Natasha belting musical theatre tunes or performing with Pacific Opera Victoria. Trained as singer and a violinist from a young age, Jilaine Orton began pursuing her Bachelor of Music at the University of Victoria in 2013. During this time at university, she developed her skills in a variety of musical areas simultaneously: studying classical violin under Ann Elliott Goldschmid, singing in UVic’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble, and training in the Music Education program. Since completing her music degree in 2017, Jilaine is pursuing careers in both voice and education, singing as Fifth Street’s alto while working as a certified educator specializing in music. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, Ryan Narciso began posting original songs and covers on YouTube as a creative outlet in 2008. Today, his videos have garnered millions of views and provided him with opportunities to perform in New York, Vancouver and the Philippines with the likes of Grammy-nominated artist Tori Kelly and World Championship of Performing Arts winner Jed Madela. Having received a Bachelor of Music from the University of Victoria, Ryan continues to live musically as a performer, music director, and voice teacher while working as a tenor, arranger, and producer for Fifth Street. Kenji Lee is the baritone and beatboxer for Fifth Street. One of the group’s primary arrangers—with past credits including Fifth Street’s renditions of Vulfpeck’s 1612 and Jessie Reyez’ Figures—he finds inspiration in fusing current popular music with both jazz and electronic dance stylings. Kenji studied voice at the University of Victoria and graduated with a Bachelors of Music and a Minor in Business in 2018. Born into a family of professional musicians, Taylor Caswell was trained as a vocalist, pianist and bassist from childhood and now sings as Fifth Street’s bass. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre and a Minor in Business at the University of Victoria, where he was a member of the UVic’s Vocal Jazz Ensemble from 2011-2016. While his degree may be in another artistic stream, music remains Taylor’s first love; he began experimenting as a songwriter early in his university career and sometimes arranges and composes for the group. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Verbunkos (Recruiting Dance) (1885–1945) II. Pihenö (Relaxation) III. Sebes (Fast Dance) �PROGRAM NOTES FOREWORD Today, music students are about as likely to encounter Messiaen and Bartók in a musicology textbook as a concert hall. Perhaps these composers deserve some of the blame: this is music that is often easier to analyze than to perform. Messiaen, especially early in his career, was exceptionally keen to explain his compositional systems, and Bartók was, for a while, held in higher esteem as an ethnomusicologist than as a composer. The similarities continue: both composers were fascinated by complex rhythms, symmetrical constructions, modal harmonies, and, most significantly, the music of non-Western European cultures. All of Bartók’s music finds its roots in the folk music of his native Hungary, while Messiaen absorbed influences from all across the globe. To take but one example, the complex rhythms found in the Quartet, which have perplexed a great many classically-trained musicians, are standard fare in Indian music. None of this adequately explains why so many performers — and audiences — do in fact choose to brave the difficulties and experience this music live. Nor, for that matter, does it explain how the two pieces programmed tonight are so spectacularly different in affect. Messiaen’s Quartet is most often ethereal and serene, with tempi oscillating between slow and impossibly slow. Its harmonies, while highly unusual, strike the listener as lush more than discordant. Its gaze is inevitably skyward — either towards birds, as in the clarinet movements (I. and III.) or towards God, as in the solo string movements (V. and VIII.). In those string movements especially, we can hear what sustains this piece most of all over the course of eight movements and fifty minutes: incredibly long, beautiful melodies and the love they represent. Bartók’s Contrasts, meanwhile, is driven by one quality the Quartet lacks: play. Play on the part of the composer, undoubtedly, but even more on the part of the performers. Despite all the academic fascinations held within, Contrasts is a fantastically fun way for players to show off their chops. The outer movements, both dances, are viscerally thrilling, if occasionally obnoxious. To my ears, it is a celebration of humanity, as earth-bound as the Quartet is otherworldly. There is, however, one other unifying thread that ties these two works together, one that offers what might be the most important way in for the listener: a common purpose. Both works were composed facing the spectre of war and Nazism, albeit much more literally in the case of Messiaen. In what is probably the most dramatic origin story of any piece of classical music, he composed and premiered the Quartet in 1940-41 while imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp in Germany. Contrasts was composed only a couple years earlier, shortly before Bartók, horrified at what he saw taking place in Europe, chose to flee to the United States and entered an extended period of compositional unproductivity. The music itself is of lasting power and importance, but so is the simple fact that two great artists, confronted with the worst of humanity, chose to continue making great art. — Jiten Beairsto �Quartet for the End of Time (1941) Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992) I. Crystal liturgy. Between three and four in the morning, the awakening of birds: a solo blackbird or nightingale improvises, surrounded by a shimmer of sound, by a halo of trills lost very high in the trees. Transpose this onto a religious plane and you have the harmonious silence of Heaven. II. Vocalise, for the Angel who announces the end of Time. The first and third parts (very short) evoke the power of this mighty angel, a rainbow upon his head and clothed with a cloud, who sets one foot on the sea and one foot on the earth. In the middle section are the impalpable harmonies of heaven. In the piano, sweet cascades of blue-orange chords, enclosing in their distant chimes the almost plainchant song of the violin and cello. III. Abyss of the birds. Clarinet solo. The abyss is Time with its sadness, its weariness. The birds are the opposite to Time; they are our desire for light, for stars, for rainbows, and for jubilant songs! IV. Interlude. Scherzo. Of a more outgoing character than the other movements but related to them, nonetheless, by various melodic references. V. Praise to the Eternity of Jesus. Jesus is considered here as the Word. A broad phrase, “infinitely slow,” on the cello, magnifies with love and reverence the eternity of the Word, powerful and gentle, “whose time never runs out.” The melody stretches majestically into a kind of gentle, regal distance. “In the beginning was the Word, and Word was with God, and the Word was God.” VI. Dance of fury, for the seven trumpets. Rhythmically, the most characteristic piece of the series. The four instruments in unison imitate gongs and trumpets (the first six trumpets of the Apocalypse followed by various disasters, the trumpet of the seventh angel announcing consummation of the mystery of God). Use of added values, of augmented or diminished rhythms, of non-retrogradable rhythms. Music of stone, formidable granite sound; irresistible movement of steel, huge blocks of purple rage, icy drunkenness. Hear especially the terrible fortissimo of the augmentation of the theme and the changes of register of its different notes, towards the end of the piece. VII. Cluster of rainbows, for the angel who announces the end of Time. Here certain passages from the second movement recur. The angel appears in full force, especially the rainbow that covers him (the rainbow, symbol of peace, wisdom, and all luminescent and sonorous vibration). – In my dreams, I hear and see ordered chords and melodies, known colors and shapes; then, after this transitional stage, I pass through the unreal and submit with ecstasy to a gyrating vortex of superhuman sounds and colours. These swords of fire, this blue-orange lava, these sudden stars: there is the tangle, there are the rainbows! VIII. Praise to the Immortality of Jesus. Large violin solo, counterpart to the violoncello solo of the 5th movement. Why this second eulogy? It is especially aimed at the second aspect of Jesus, Jesus the Man, the Word made flesh, immortally risen for our communication of his life. It is all love. Its slow ascent to the acutely extreme is the ascent of man to his god, the child of God to his Father, the being made divine towards Paradise. �And I repeat anew what I said above: “All this is mere striving and childish stammering if one compares it to the overwhelming grandeur of the subject!” Original descriptions by Olivier Messiaen, translation from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quatuor_pour_la_fin_du_temps Contrasts (1938) Béla Bartók (1881–1945) Though this work was officially commissioned by jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, it was Hungarian violinist Joseph Szigeti who originated talk of a new work with Bartók. The original performance omitted the second movement and named the work “Rhapsody,” but following this premiere, Bartók retitled the piece and performed the full three movements alongside Goodman and Szigeti. This piece demonstrates the folk influences that are so much a part of Bartók’s unique compositional style. I. Verbunkos. This movement is composed in the style of a Recruiting Dance, used to recruit citizens to the army. Hence it has a steady, measured rhythm, and memorable melody, which is heavily embellished upon. Many characteristics of the music are derived from military marches. II. Pihenö. Titled relaxation, this movement is atmospheric and lacks a clear, steady pulse, in stark contrast to the surrounding material. III. Sebes. Notably featuring scordatura or “mistuned” violin to emulate the sound of a folk musician, this fast dance drives to the very end, making only a small detour into a more lyrical (but still forward moving) section with additive Bulgarian rhythms. — Sydney Tetarenko BIOGRAPHIES SYDNEY TETARENKO Sydney Tetarenko (B.Mus ‘13) is a clarinetist currently residing in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is a musician with great passion for both performing and educating.
