Out of Sight - COMBSTEAD / Robert Grigg

Distant View

A song about sacrifice

LYRICS:

How far you have come from the birth
How far is the sun from the earth?
The steps that we take to protect you from harm
The next seven days, we begin to disarm

You're too slow
Now we know who we are
Too slow
Now we know who we are

Now the light, it begins to go dark
Too long the night and too dim the spark
Deadly blows that are dealt to the brave
Red, the rose that we lay by the grave

(Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,
And towards our distant rest began to trudge)-  [Wilfred Owen - Dulce et Decorum Est]

You're too slow
Now we know who we are

Who We Are

Ghost Theater for Two Female Singers, Large Chamber Ensemble and Optional Film. Duration: 11'. Publisher: Bill Holab Music: http://www.billholabmusic.com/composers/robert-paterson/robert-paterson-works/

PROGRAM NOTES

Ghost Theater was commissioned by David Alan Miller and the Albany Symphony for the Dogs of Desire, the symphony’s groundbreaking, eighteen-member, chamber ensemble. The only requirement, other than length and instrumentation, was that I work with a collaborator, so I chose award-winning, Vermont-based filmmaker Jay Craven.

The work is about what the title describes: a theater haunted by apparitions, and in particular, disembodied shadows and ghosts of soldiers killed in combat. However, as the work was created, it took on additional inspirations: the thought of being haunted by one’s past, especially via a musical lens, and also the memories of war stories told by my father when I was growing up, who was born and raised in Rensselaer, right outside Albany, and who was stationed in Korea during the Korean War. Throughout the work, I interweave abstract references to pieces and composers that have not only inspired (or haunted) me, but also my mentor and longtime friend, Christopher Rouse. In particular, I quoted the drum part for Led Zeppelin’s When The Levee Breaks, the same drum lick that also appears in Rouse’s Bonham for eight percussionists. The entire piece is presented as a series of connected, pseudo-programmatic vignettes, each one flowing into the next, without break. The vocal texts are derived from three sources: an epitaph found on many European gravestones, and brief quotes from poems by Wilfred Owen and Pablo Naruda.

Although this work may be performed as a stand-alone concert work, it may also be presented with Craven’s film. In the world of filmmaking, films are usually created first, with music added later or even at the very end, but Jay and I went back and forth quite a bit, treating the process in a more collaborative manner. Once we had an idea, Jay created a rough outline and then shot footage in collaboration with video artist Catherine Siller. After studying a rough cut, I composed the music. The film was then edited around a digital mock-up of the music. The result is a surreal, dreamlike work that interweaves music and film, creating an aural and visual tapestry.

Ghost Theater is dedicated with gratitude to Christopher Rouse, David Alan Miller and the Albany Symphony.

Ghost Theater

I wrote the music/melody to this song when I was 12 years old.  Later, I totally re-wrote the Title & Lyrics and recorded it at 24.

Recorded on a Tascam, 4-Track 'Syncassette' in January of 1985.
