11 PROGRAM N O T E S 11 Paul Humphreys teaches, composes, writes, and pdrfoms in Los,Angeles where he is Assistant Professor of Music and Director of World Music Ensembles at Loyola Marymount University. He has published and presented papers based upon ethnomusicological field work conducted in Ghana, Japan, and the Southwest Pueblo region of the United States. In addition to the work presented on this program, compositions that reflect and interpret culture-specific sensibilities of place include a chamber opera Cabeza de Vaca-A Ghost Play in the Style of Noh (1987), A Legend of Lao Tse-Thirteen Scenarios for Mezzo Soprano and Piano (1998), and Gending ~~bekor (with I Dewa Berata; 2001). In Three Musings of Kyekye, I draw upon experiences as a student of traditional West African xylophone or gyil. Within the repertoires of this instrument, a song frequently serves as the basis for compositions that combine accompanying ostinati and variation procedures to produce a clearly etched, almost "tactile" form of two-part counterpoint. The performer has considerable liberty in realizing such compositions, allowing the pace of variations and incidence of reprise elements to be suggested by circumstances of a specific occasion. In Northern Ghana, for example, gyil are frequently used to provide music for dancing that celebrates the memory of an individual who has recently passed away. Movement one beg& with a melodic figure that "cuts across" the metric framework of a rhythm in 128 that is associated with takada, a dance genre of tlie Volta, Region in Eastern Ghana. The ostinato that embodies this rhythmic phrase continues with variations throughout two large cycles that comprise the body of the piece. Ideas within Movement two are unified within the framework of another cyclic form, the African-American twelve-bar blues. Polychords enrich the traditional harmony in both eycles of the progression. The third and ha1 movement is a lyric toccata in lo8. The title of the work makes referenck to a Ghanaian (Akan) proverb: "Kyekye (the North Star, pron. 'chyeh- chyeh') is fond of marriage." Each "musing" celebrates a marriage and is dedicated to the couple whose wedding ceremony it commemorates. The work as a whole is dedicated to J. H. Kwabena Nketia. Michael Williams composes for a wide range of musical styles and purposes, from prize winning contemporary symphonic concert music, concert choir, chamber and solo piano works to avant-garde electronic music. Christian, Hebrew and popular songwriting, jazz, television ahd film. His new jazz group "1 40 4 2 0 has released two albums (on Pocket Jazz Records): Jazz Trespassers and Wet, to critical acclaim. Mr. Williams' music and piano performance is featured in the recent film The Limey from Universal Pictures. As a columnist, his articles have appeared in Electronic Music Educator, Klavier and Computer Music Journal. MGW is well kriown in the computer industry as an expert in operating system design, system hardware design and computer chip functional design. He serves full time as the Chief Technical Architect for Nokia's Internet Communications division. He was the author of the music, MIDI seq~encing, typesetting and printing program Superscore, and consulted on the design of the original music font for general use "Sonata" with Adobe Systems. His name appears in two IEEE international computer standards. I Mr. Williams has served as director of contemporary music at Ascension Lutheran Church in Thousand Oaks, and for the Rothstein conservative temple in Woodland.Hills, CA. He has served as accompanist or organist for numerous churches, temples, colleges and master classes in Southern California.
