Comment on Juventas New Music Ensemble-A Company to Watch by Ketty

Kind thanks for your feedback and comments! I’m happy to hear the Balkan elements came through . . since most all the source folk material is monodic, one of my compositional challenges was to set the songs as if in amber, “untouched.”

Assuming the “role” of librettist is new to me . . the archetype older man/woman and younger man/woman are those I found in the songs, so I thought to set them as a loosely structured collage of these songs, whose stories are usually true (unless they’re entirely comical and fantastical, of course). I got the idea of seven “days of the week” (alluding to the seven ages of man) as the Hungarian drinking song (heard in the opening scene) of what to do each day of the week.

I’m thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the directing talent of Giselle Ty, the singers, and of course, Juventas!

I was waiting for the 66 in Allston, heading to Harvard Sq. My stop was one of the last in upper Allston so the buses were often full when they got to me and the bus driver would just pass me by. One day I happened to be the only one at my stop and prepared to wait awhile when an “out of service” bus comes by and stops. The driver asks me if I want to get in. It was a female driver so it seemed safe enough. Once I was on the bus though, it became clear that she did not know how to get to harvard square and needed me for directions! We made it to Harvard Square, she let me off, and I told her how to get into the Harvard Station.

One night, On the Red line a guy came on the train in a superhero costume made completely out of duct tape. He would loudly babble about saving the “citizens” of Boston

The first time I ever took the T by myself, it was after 11 at night on a week day, and it was very quiet. When I got on the train, a woman began talking to me and engaging me in conversation. She was wearing a lot of colorful clothing, had some sort of a scarf in her hair, and was very friendly and sort of philosophical. But towards the end of my ride on the T, she started warning me that she hoped I had a safe ride. She was having visions of me not getting home okay, and started recalling really creepy details of what she saw in her mind. I almost ran off the train! To go from engaging with such a friendly person to thinking she might try to kill me or something – such a crazy ride!

One of my first weeks as a transplant to Boston I was headed home outbound on the B line. Somewhere between Harvard and Sutherland a BC student, overcome with libations, timed the stops perfectly so that he could projectile vomit from the opening doors just as the train stopped. He cleaned up, sat down, and hopefully survived the rest of his college career on the B line.

Thanks for doing this Becca, we’re excited that you’re so excited!
