Resonances (2024) for Orchestra by Catherine Fields- Peter Wilson and the WSO
This piece is a dialogue between things past and present. Though the tonal and textural language of Resonances is very much in the modern idiom, its motives are derived from Bach’s choral Herzlich lieb hab’ ich dich, O Herr. For example, the first motive played by the piano, vibraphone, and harp (F, C, D, A) is a transformation of the first four notes of the chorale’s bass line (Eb, Bb, C, G). A six-note motive from the tenor line becomes a recurring melodic figure, and the descending scale in the soprano line is scattered through the piece in varied permutations. Resonances culminates with an intimate quotation of the chorale played by a string quartet nestled within the orchestra, a reminder that the past is constantly being woven into the fabric of the present. It is something alive and tangible, sometimes unrecognizable, that colors and suffuses everything that we do.
A huge thank you to Peter Wilson and the Waynesboro Symphony Orchestra for their wonderful performance and for joyfully championing the music of living composers!

Soprano: Stephanie Mekonen Vibraphone: Hunter Wirt Flute: Eduardo Fajardo Violin: Kerri Elizabeth Robinson A Starry Night A cloud fell down from the heavens, And broke on the mountain’s brow; It scattered the dusky fragments All over the vale below. The moon and the stars were anxious To know what its fate might be; So they rushed to the azure op’ning, And all peered down to see. The Chase The ...

Soloist: Samantha Clarke This piece opened the GMU Wind Symphony's first in-person concert since the lockdowns began. After so long, deprived of real live music making, the first sound to penetrate a dark concert hall was that of a lone soloist, piercing through the years of distance, masking, and fear to touch the hearts and imaginations of people. The notes that I write are meaningless withou...

Have you ever seen a lamb? He follows trustfully to the knife. Glassy eyes brim with love for his family, with not a bit of concern for his life. Now isn't that outrageous? If in his place we were found, such a thing would so enrage us in this blinding, choking, smokey cloud. Have you met a lady dressed in white who had a little son that ran away? and after having searched for him day and night...
