�— INTERMISSION —
When the sun shines upon the sand,
may my heart always be open
Natalie Dzbik (1993)
When the sun… is a piece featuring works by acclaimed poets from three different
languages: Stéphane Mallarmé, e. e. cummings, and Wisława Szymborska. These
languages, French, English, and Polish — the languages that had the most influence on
Natalie throughout her life — come together to create a new story out of the words on
the page; a story of loss, hope, and healing.
Conductor: Justin Boechler

Margaret Lingas, voice 2 (V)
Elizabeth Gerow, voice 3 (Trzy słowa Najdziwniejszy)
Jasmine Mather, violin
Linda Donn, viola

Aya Robertson, celeste
Dante André-Kahan, percussion 1 (timpani, glockenspiel, toms)
Colin Malloy, percussion 2 (bass drum, tam-tam, toms, snare drum, woodblock,
glock)
Natalie would like to give enormous thanks to Professor Christopher Butterfield, Dr.
Dániel Péter Biró, Professor John Celona, and Annette Brosin for their encouragement
and inspiration in her study of composition at UVic; her friends and family for
supporting her dreams and ambitions throughout the years-long adventure of her
undergrad degree; and to the performers of her piece, who made her imagination a
reality.
Natalie Dzbik is from the class of Professor Christopher Butterfield.
This recital is presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements
for the Bachelor of Music (Composition) program.
Reception to follow in the Lounge.
Please turn off all cell phones.

Natalie Dzbik Composition Grad Recital – Lyrics and Translations
I : La tristesse d’été (S. Mallarmé)
Le soleil, sur le sable, ô lutteuse endormie,
En l'or de tes cheveux chauffe un bain langoureux
Et, consumant l'encens sur ta joue ennemie,
Il mêle avec les pleurs un breuvage amoureux.
De ce blanc flamboiement l'immuable accalmie
T'a fait dire, attristée, ô mes baisers peureux
" Nous ne serons jamais une seule momie
Sous l'antique désert et les palmiers heureux ! "
Mais la chevelure est une rivière tiède,
Où noyer sans frissons l'âme qui nous obsède
Et trouver ce Néant que tu ne connais pas.
Je goûterai le noir pleuré par tes paupières,
Pour voir s'il sait donner au coeur que tu frappas
L'insensibilité de l'azur et des pierres.
I: The sadness of Summer (S. Mallarmé)
The sun, on the sand, O sleeping wrestler,
Warms a languid bath in the gold of your hair,
Melting the incense on your hostile features,
Mixing an amorous liquid with the tears.
The immutable calm of this white burning,
O my fearful kisses, makes you say, sadly,
‘Will we ever be one mummified winding,
Under the ancient sands, and palms so happy?’
But your tresses are a tepid river,
Where the soul that haunts us drowns, without a shiver
And finds the Nothingness you cannot know.
I’ll taste the black of your eyelids’ shore,
To see if it can grant to the heart, at your blow,
The insensibility of stones and the azure.
(https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-sadness/)
II: V, of ‘Other Seasons’ (e.e.cummings)
may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old
1
�Natalie Dzbik Composition Grad Recital – Lyrics and Translations
may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young
and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile.
III: Trzy słowa najdziwniejsze (Wisława Szymborska)
Kiedy wymawiam słowo Przyszłość,
pierwsza sylaba odchodzi już do przeszłości.
Kiedy wymawiam słowo Cisza,
niszczę ją.
Kiedy wymawiam słowo Nic,
stwarzam coś, co nie mieści się w żadnym niebycie.
The Three Oddest Words (Szymborska)
When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no non-being can hold.
(https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/three-oddest-words/)

�Paul Hindemith, Sonata for Trumpet and Piano
In 1939 Hindemith composed his Sonata for Trumpet and Piano. Although other twentieth
century composers had written for trumpet, this Sonata is the first multi-movement work for
trumpet since the Haydn and Hummel trumpet concertos, written in 1796 and 1803. This
sonata represents the Gebrauchmusik concept – meaning “utility music,” music composed for a
specific purpose, such as for a festival, dancing, for students to perform, or about a specific
event. This sonata is about World War II.
Hindemith was not Jewish, but at this point he had fled Germany because of pressure from the
Nazi Party who were attempting to suppress music they deemed unacceptable. In 1939
Germany annexed Austria and invaded Poland - Hindemith wrote this piece after these events
while living in Switzerland before immigrating to the United States in 1940. This sonata is one of
the most difficult works in the repertoire not only because of the physical endurance and
efficiency demanded to simply play the piece, but also because of the mental and emotional
resources required to perform a piece written under intense pressure during this period in
Hindemith’s life.
The first movement is labeled Mit Kraft (With Strength), and begins with a bold declaration by
the trumpet and piano. These youthful statements of resistance recur in the middle and end of
the movement, and between each the Nazi’s are heard marching ever closer. The second
movement is gentler, a welcome reprieve of innocence and optimism perhaps reflecting on the
post-WWI zeitgeist in Germany in the 1920’s. The final movement is the longest, and the center
of emotional gravity in the piece. Titled Trauermusik (Mourning Music), the third movement
begins with a funeral march, interrupted by a sustained line in the trumpet full of despair. After
scenes of lament and death, the troubled journey culminates with the Lutheran chorale Alle
Menschen Mussen Sterben – All Men Must die. In the very end, the piece subtly resolves on a
major chord which reflects Hindemith’s general view of optimism for the world.

�TEXTS & TRANSLATIONS
Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace:
where there is hatred, let me bring love,
where there is injury, pardon
where there is doubt, faith
where there is despair, hope,
where there is darkness, light,
where there is sadness, joy,
and all for thy mercy’s sake.
O divine master,
I grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love,
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.
The cherry orchard (Taras Shevchenko)
The cherry grove beside the cottage stands,
The beetles hum above the cherry trees,
The ploughmen homeward plod in spent unease,
Young women likewise come in singing bands,
And mothers wait them all, with food to please.
The family beside the cottage eats;
The evening star is rising in the sky;
The daughter helps the supper tasks to ply;
Words of advice the mother’s mouth repeats
But songs of nightingales her words outvie.
Her little folks beside the cottage small
The mother puts to rest in slumber deep,
And she herself beside them falls asleep,
Peace now prevails. But the young women all
And the sweet nightingale no silence keep.
Summer nights (Oleksander Oles)
The tender acacias quietly breathe,
Swaying in the silvery twilight,
They silently stare at the moon, at the stars,
They stare at the bright world enchanted.
Why am I not a tender acacia?
Why do thoughts burn and torture me?
Why can’t I lose myself to such a degree
That I could only stare and breathe.
�Not all sorrows have died (Oleksander Oles)
Evensong (Volodymyr Samiilenko)
Not all sorrows have died,
Not all songs have been sung,
Not all horizons have clouded over –
My blood still boils, roiling in rage,
And my heart still beats like a bell.
My entire soul is in flames.
The hush of evening
Descends upon the earth
And the sun
Slowly sets in the grove.
To you and to life I will not succumb,
Shall not douse the fire with tears,
I shall spread myself out as the steppe,
I shall spill out a sea of songs,
And into each song I shall pour
All my passion, all my blood.
A memory (Volodymyr Starosolsky)
Do you still discern?
It was a quiet evening.
The forest clad in pensive sorrow
And flowers shedding tears of dew.
In the magical perfect evening
Quiet and mysterious
A May dream bent down
Above you and me.
Do you still discern?
The rising white moon led
Miraculous dreams round the world.
A fairy tale walked on the path.
Miraculous dreams were rising.
And the bright stars shimmered
Above you and me.
Do you still discern?
Boundless longing
Dressed the earth in springtime
And cried with silent tears.
In a magical time sacred love
Stretched her saintly hands
Above you and me.

O dearest bright sun,
Can it be that you are weary?
That you are angry?
Please linger awhile!
Shine on for an hour.
It’s too early to sleep.
Warm and indulge us
With your motherly tenderness.
O dearest bright sun…
But the sun doesn’t listen,
It sets o’er the mountain,
And bids us adieu
For the rest of the night.
O dearest bright sun….
�PROGRAM NOTES
Some of the most significant and rewarding events of my past 30 years at the
School of Music have been the Faculty Chamber Music Series concerts, where the
opportunities to spend musical time with colleagues have so often been personally
inspiring as well as enriching for our community. I was honoured to be asked to put
together this concert of works of my own choosing in observation of my impending
retirement.
It must be said that narrowing down my considerable ‘wish list’ was tricky. Each program idea led to another, often larger, idea. The program presented tonight is a small
snapshot of some of my chamber music interests.
All the performers on tonight’s concert are current or former faculty, current students or former students. I am very grateful to all for their participation and particularly grateful for the universally enthusiastic response expressed when approached
for participating in this concert.
Echoes From A Play, for oboe and string quartet by Finnish composer Aulis Sallinen, is
thematically connected to his chamber opera The Palace (1995), the music of which
has been described as ‘unnervingly attractive’. The opera, loosely based on Mozart’s
The Abduction from the Seraglio, is described as a satire of the collapse of a corrupt
regime, the escape from an authoritarian power and the transference of that power
into new, though equally absolute hands. It is not the first time that Sallinen has created a smaller work with operatic connections, a practice with a respectful lineage
in the activities of many working composers of the past. Sallinen’s work The Palace
Rhapsody (1966) for Harmonie, (the ensemble genre of double winds that appears
later in tonight’s concert), is in the style of the 18th century arrangements of opera
excerpts played in the courts of Vienna and Eastern Europe from approximately
1785 to 1830. I am delighted to finally have the opportunity to play this charming
work with the Lafayette String Quartet and very grateful to Pamela Highbaugh Aloni
for having brought it to my attention a few years ago.
Performing with singers highlights the special relationship that wind players can have
with singers; the sonority of male voices with English horn, the oboe’s lower-voiced
brother, is particularly special. Canadian composer George Bassingthwaite studied
at Toronto’s Royal conservatory and the University of Toronto as well as in Fontainbleau, France with, among others Nadia Boulanger. He worked in Toronto as a
bass-baritone soloist, a pianist and vocal coach and did much work in theatre as a
music director, composer, arranger and on occasion, singing actor; in other words, he
was a working musician. Most of his work is choral and tonight’s piece, Prayer of St.
Francis, exists in another version for English horn and solo bass-baritone. There are
elements of the famous Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi, regardless of one’s adherence
to any particular faith system, that in my mind have much to offer to the teaching
profession.
�Over the years Benjamin Butterfield and I have talked often about his Ukrainian
Art Song project, with the notion of perhaps adding some oboe and English horn
phrases to his work, an idea that I haven’t entirely abandoned. Having spent much of
my childhood singing Ukrainian songs, I am particularly looking forward to hearing
his performance tonight.
During the late 18th and early 19th centuries the courts of Eastern Europe, Vienna
and parts of Germany employed musicians, composers and arrangers to provide social entertainment in the form of dinner and after-dinner music for the court. Though
the instrumentation varied in the different courts, by roughly 1780 the most common instrumentation was that which came to be known as the harmonie, pairs of
oboes, clarinets, horns and bassoons. Johann Nepomuk Hummel was highly regarded
in his time (1778-1837) as a pianist and composer. Born in Bratislava, he came of
age during the heyday of the Harmonie, composing his Partita in E-flat major when
he was only 24 and had not yet been offered any leadership position at a European
court. The notion of writing music for an ensemble associated with the aristocracy
was enthusiastically taken up by many composers of the time, most notably Mozart,
whose Serenades are considered the flagship works of the ensemble.
Hummel’s Partita in E-flat is presented tonight in all of its joyful and youthful enthusiasm and is dedicated to my current and former students, some of whom are present with me on the stage and in their professionalism make me feel very, very proud.
