PULITZER PRIZE-MUSIC
April 18 , 2000
Now, we continue our conversations with this year's winners of the Pulitzer prizes in the arts, and once again to Elizabeth Farnsworth. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The winner in music this year is Lewis Spratlan for the concert version of act two of his opera, "Life is a Dream." The opera is based on Pedro Calderon de la Barca 17th century play, "La Vida Es Sueño," a masterpiece of Spanish literature. Lewis Spratlan's music has been widely performed in the United States and around the world. A CD of his work, "Night Music," was released in 1993. He is professor of music at Amherst College.
Thank you for being with us, and congratulations. LEWIS SPRATLAN, Pulitzer Prize, Music: Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to be here. ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: You wrote this opera a long time ago in the mid 1970's, right? And it was only recently performed. What happened? LEWIS SPRATLAN: Yeah, it's a complex story. I'll try to make it brief. In 1975, I was asked by the New Haven Opera Theater to write an opera, and it was suggested as a basis for a libretto that I have a look at "La Vida es Sueño" of Calderon. I was caught up immediately, decided that was the way to go, and got to work, and was halfway through the composition of the third act and the company folded. And there I was with an opera and nobody to put it on. And I immediately got to work together with my publisher, attempting to get it performed, but was not successful. And the piece had been sitting on the shelf for 22 years.

    Lou's Reviews Music Review by Lou Wigdor The Opera Is a Dream?
    What greater dread for a composer than never to hear his music performed? That was Beethoven’s fate from age fifty, when he became stone deaf. The late string quartets, the final piano sonatas, the ninth symphony, and the heaven-storming Missa Solemnis-Beethoven heard them all in his head but never in the sensate world. Sixty-one-year-old Pulitzer Prize winning composer Lewis Spratlan has perfect hearing, but has gained deeper empathy with Beethoven’s predicament. In April of 2000, Spratlan, who has been on the music faculty of Amherst College since 1970, received the Pulitzer Prize in music for a concert version of the second act of his three-act opera, Life Is a Dream . “Winning the Pulitzer was exhilarating; so was hearing and seeing the opera’s second act performed for the first time in its then twenty-two year existence. Perhaps one day, I‘ll get to hear the first and third acts as well,” muses Spratlan, who will hear the opera’s Pulitzer-winning segment for only the third time, this May 7 th in its unstaged New York debut with the New York City Opera’s Showcase of American Composers series.

    A Veritable Ocean of Voice The rafters of John M. Greene Hall on the Smith College campus will ring once again as they do every other year when the combined choirs of the Five Colleges come together for a festive and reflective evening of song on Saturday, February 23 at 7:30 p.m. This year’s Five College Choral Festival features a wide variety of selections from many cultures and periods as well as two works that are especially timely in the context of world events: the premier of Dona Nobis Pacem, a commissioned piece by the distinguished composer Lewis Spratlan subtitled "an entreaty for peace in the Middle East," and a movement from Tomas Luis de Victoria’s 1605 Requiem Mass, which reprises a benefit and memorial concert for the victims of September 11, performed last October by the Five College Early Music Collegium. The Five College Choral Festival is free and open to the public. Due to the popularity of this event, and the limited seating in the hall, early arrival is recommended.
    Additional information about the program is available from Wayne Abercrombie, Department of Music and Dance, University of Massachusetts (545-0437).

    New York Metropolitan Opera Company Contemporary American Opera.
    September 15, 2000. Is American Opera on the comeback? Contemporary American opera sounds like an oxymoron more than a musical category nowadays. John Harbison 's opera the Great Gatsby was a short-lived event last year. This season, you won't hear one living composer or an American at the MET , with a program that's still heavy with Puccini, Mozart and Wagner. And still, there's a diversity of indomitable composers out there testing themselves in the marriage of words, music and drama. New work has some familiar titles: The Cabaret performer William Bolcom is trying his hand at an operatic production of Arthur Miller's " A View from the Bridge "; the conductor and pop pianist Andre Previn is writing music for " A Streetcar Named Desire "; and the composer Lewis Spratlan won a Pulitzer this year for " Life is a Dream ," a fantasy opera he's never been able to get into full production till now. Is this a new beginning for American opera? Or is the fat lady getting ready to sing.
