Chanters to Perform
Tonight at Aldersgate
I)r Maton Suinerltn sm-
patlures with pianist LaHae
Phillips who accompanies the
McMurrv Chanters when the
perforin his new Magnificat" at
7 III) p in Thursda.v in Alders-
gate United Methodist Church
"The pianist has to work at it
because this is one of the most
rh thinic things I've ev er done"
sa.vs Sumerhn. McMurr com-
poser in resideme "It sounds
like I'm using a marimba and
two marachns part of the time "
All that Latin rhythm grew
uaturall.v into a minor musical
work which Sumerlin was
togitating on last summer w bile
sailing around the Virgin Is-
lands It was one of those v oj ages in
which evei.vbodv "crews"
Sumerlin sas his job was to
watth the dingv when the ship
docked to make sure topes
weien't severed
While not engagid in nautical
duties the McMunv professor
though out the "Mngnificant"
and another major work com-
missioned by Conrad Drntton for
performance next spring at the
Church of the Heavenly Rest
I)r Sunieilin jotted down a
few bars on the ship's dining
table while the rest of thejollv
trew napped
'1 he "Magnifitat' which pre-
miers Thursday and then goes
on Christmas tout with the
Chanters is a 10-miuute work
in five movements Karen
McConnell sings the soprano
solo in one movement and a
mule chorus dominates the final
traditional "Gloria Potri"
movement which Sumerlin
churacterues as "wild and fast "
The first movement is "very
fast" and begins "My soul doth
magnify the Lord ' The second is
"moderato' and is "And his
mercy tson them that fear Him "
Third movement is "solemn"
1980
and sets "He hath put down the
might) from their soots" and
fourth is "very slow and intense"
and sets "He hath holpcn his
servant Israel "
The new Sumerlin music is
definitely of the 20th century
but it has a key center nt any
given time
"It's not atonal" comments
Sumerlin "Of course really
nobody writes atonal music
even Schonberg."
The composer sas that a
principal interest of his in this
piece of rhythm and the "Mag-
nificat" is polyrhythmic a fea-
ture of the word of Jagor
Stravinsky Aaron Copland
other contemporaries
(Sumerlin met Copland once
at a performance of both their
works by the Houston Sym-
phony Copland said he liked the
Sumerlin symphony on the
program)
l)r Sumerlin arriving back
on the North American conti-
nent with a fistful of notes says
he worked hard for seven days
making u rough draft
' That first draft you couldn't
rend and I couldn't have either
if I'd let it get cold" he recalls
"Then I did the one for the
chorus and instrument and that
takes all the tunc
He opens the score at random
and points out that six measures
of music copied in six-line form
take a page
How does a composer manage
to get dow n his ideas these days
on n ship or fulfilling n busy
teaching schedule?
"I tarry a notebook" Summer-
lin says "Or sometimes I just
carry a ballpoint holder that
draws five lines at the same time
on any thing the back of an
envelope a paper sack
A magnificat is a time hon-
ored choral form going back cen-
turies with a relatively stable
text from the Gospel of St Luke
