The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Music’s Scholarship Benefit Series presents the UNC Men’s Glee Club Daniel M. Huff, conductor Frank Pittman, pianist Sunday, November 23, 2014 3:00 p.m. Hill Hall Auditorium Program Versa est in luctum Alonso Lobo (1555 – 1617) My harp is tuned for lamentation, and my flute to the voice of those who weep. Spare me, O Lord, for my days are as nothing. My skin is become black upon me, and my bones are dried up. Versa est in luctum Garth Molyneux (b. 1958) Epitaph on John Jayberd of Diss (Burlesca) No. III from Five Tudor Portraits Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872 - 1958) Here follows a trental, more or less reasonable, hardly fitting for the Church, but formal enough, for John the Clerk, a certain man of many names who was called John Jayberd. He was called clerk by the clergy. This holy father died in the year of our Lord 1506. In the parish of Diss there was not his like; a man renowned for malice, double-hearted and double-tongued, worn out by old age, suspected of all, loved by none. He is buried... Sing we songs in our cups to celebrate John. The clerk truly is dead and was given the name of Jayberd. He was born among the people of Diss and was called clerk by the clergy. Never was he wont truly to bewail his sins. His evil tongue was loquacious and lying. Such morals as his were never before in anyone. When he breathed the vital air he disturbed his companions and his fellow citizens as if he were an ass, a mule, or a bull. Do you ask who this is? John Jayberd, inhabitant of Diss with whom while he lived were associated quarrels, violence and strife. Now here he lies... Pray, brethren... Drink your fill. See he is buried under your feet, a fool, an ass, and a mule... Forever and ever. Auto-da-Fé Leonard Bernstein (1918 - 1990) arr. D. Huff from Candide Nachthelle, D 892 Franz Schubert (1797 - 1828) R. Jacoby Isley, tenor The night is clear and pure, in the brightest of all radiance. The houses look wondrous, silvered-over completely. Within me it is so wonderfully bright, so full and overflowing, and prevails therein free and clear, completely without sorrow and resentment. I cannot contain within my heart all that rich light; it wants to get out, and it must get out, the last barrier breaks. The night is clear.. etc. When Dawn Shines Mishaal Surti (b. 1985) Loch Lomond trad., arr.
