L’histoire du soldat, by Igor Stravinsky
$25 General Admission / $5 Children Under 12 / Donations are accepted
(Note: There will be no pre-concert, and the performance is 55’ with no intermission.)
"On November 1st - one night only - the Odyssey Chamber Music Series presents Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat, The Soldier’s Story. This one hour presentation features seven musicians – Julie Rosenfeld (violin), Iskander Akhmadullin (trumpet), Megan Arns (percussion), Wesley Warnhoff (clarinet), Austin Way (bassoon), Tim Howe (trombone) and Isaac Foley (contrabass). In addition, there are actors: John McKeever (Devil), Aaron Krawitz (Narrator and Soldier), and dancer Kailey Baker, who is the Princess and has a dance solo.
This piece, written in 1918, tells a story that is a dark Faustian fable about a soldier and the Devil, who eventually possesses the soldier’s soul. The soldier’s violin becomes a symbol of both the soldier’s soul and the Devil’s wiles. The story is based on an old Russian folk tale but is a lesson for all cultures and times. Stravinsky uses tango rhythms, marches, and a waltz to create a most entertaining presentation.
It is rarely performed. We would be delighted to see you there." - Aaron Krawitz

About compositions by Paul Seitz:
Wild Geese takes its name from a wonderful poem by the American poet of nature, Mary Oliver, which inspired the music.
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

The second chamber piece, On Being an Artist, again includes violin, guitar, and cello, but adds voice (Christine) and piano to the ensemble. Below are the program notes and a link to the livestream video from the premiere on the same program as Wild Geese, above.
In 2016, for a variety of reasons - the news of the day, a significant health scare - I was feeling much less sure suddenly, of the power of art. As I searched for new reasons to continue composing, I came across the poem "On Being an Artist," by Noelle Kocot, that (in my reading of it) considered similar questions. I wrote to Nicole Kocot and described my situation adding that I would like to try to set her beautiful poem to music, with her permission. She very kindly granted me her permission and I began work on the music. I completed two versions for mezzo, each with a different ensemble. It was great to be composing, but I was concerned that the ensemble textures in those versions threatened to overwhelm a poem so filled with images of light. So, as I continued working on other pieces, I periodically returned to this poem, and continued to revise. I think this third attempt, completed over six years later in 2023 (and the first version to incorporate guitar) finally captures the power of this poem for me. (Poem is provided in subtitles in the video.)

About compositions by Paul Seitz:
Wild Geese takes its name from a wonderful poem by the American poet of nature, Mary Oliver, which inspired the music.
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting –
over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

The second chamber piece, On Being an Artist, again includes violin, guitar, and cello, but adds voice (Christine) and piano to the ensemble. Below are the program notes and a link to the livestream video from the premiere on the same program as Wild Geese, above.
In 2016, for a variety of reasons - the news of the day, a significant health scare - I was feeling much less sure suddenly, of the power of art. As I searched for new reasons to continue composing, I came across the poem "On Being an Artist," by Noelle Kocot, that (in my reading of it) considered similar questions. I wrote to Nicole Kocot and described my situation adding that I would like to try to set her beautiful poem to music, with her permission. She very kindly granted me her permission and I began work on the music. I completed two versions for mezzo, each with a different ensemble. It was great to be composing, but I was concerned that the ensemble textures in those versions threatened to overwhelm a poem so filled with images of light. So, as I continued working on other pieces, I periodically returned to this poem, and continued to revise. I think this third attempt, completed over six years later in 2023 (and the first version to incorporate guitar) finally captures the power of this poem for me. (Poem is provided in subtitles in the video.)
