The process of developing the music for 'tis to Love

advertisement
The process of developing the music for What 'tis to Love was threefold.
First, the Director and I had to decide exactly how music would be used in the
production. Next, music had to be chosen and prepared. Following that
monumental task, musicians had to be contracted and the music had to be
rehearsed and prepared for performance. Each of these steps presented different
difficulties and required different skills, all of which were invaluable learning
experiences. W"hat follows is a brief description of the decisions made and steps
taken within a time frame.
Music needed to serve as a sort of glue to help hold these vastly different
Shakespearean scenes together. Grace Godwin and I discussed various
applications of music that would fit into a setup that alternated Shakespearean
material with explanatory and introductory material. The logical choice was to
have music played coming out of each scene and going into the next. Not wanting
to have two dozen four to ten measure long interlude pieces, we decided to have
the music continue under the spoken interludes. The next question was how to
make the music: both echo the mood of the previous scene, form a link along with
the spoken interlude, and prepare the mood of the forthcoming scene. Originally,
one of the options under consideration was that I would do more composing than
arranging, which would have allowed for a great deal of control in this respect.
But in the end I realized that any mood change necessary could be made just as
well through competent arranging and with the help of a knowledgeable
conductor and instrumentalists. So, the show eventually settled into a setup
following this outline:
- Preshow music
- Introduction (with music)
- Scene: Henry V
- Epilogue music-interlude (with music)-intro music
- Scene: Richard III
***etc. through first act**'"
- Scene: The Taming of the Shrew
- End of Act Music (no voices)
- Intermission (no music)
- Entr'acte
- Introduction (with music)
- Scene: Romeo and Juliet
- Epilogue music-interlude (with music)-intro music
***etc. through second act**'"
- Scene: A Midsummer Night's Dream
- Epilogue music-concluding words (with music)-Bows-Playout
Once I knew how much music was needed and how it would be employed, I
next needed to decide what pieces to use and what instrumentation would best fit
our situation. :Elizabethan music was my first choice, and I never had any reason
to change my mind. The music matches the language incredibly well in
complexity, beauty, and emotion. In fact, using Elizabethan music provided the
extremely important aspect of continuity needed because it is so connected to the
Elizabethan language of the plays. The instrumentation I had originally wanted
would have uti1ized period instruments (namely, viols, virginalis, recorders, and
hand drums). Unfortunately, period instruments were mostly unavailable.
Several recorder players were available, as were hand drums; and viols were to be
replaced by muted strings. (The performance space necessitated the exclusion of
brass instruments altogether.) To most imitate a viol sound, a string player
should use a wood mute and no vibrato. But, since none of the string players
contracted owned wood mutes, standard orchestral mutes were used, which
lessened the viol effect somewhat.
At this point, I began looking for music that involved three to seven voices,
could be compatible with the scenes, and worked together as a set. Dr. Sills, my
advisor, suggested the use of In Nomine pieces. These are a rich source of music
all based on a common theme (see program notes for more, albeit still very
general, information -- see also the bibliography for sources on Elizabethan
music) that also presents a wide variety of emotion and texture. A collection of
several pieces based on the In Nomine tune was available arranged for four or five
viols. I immediately knew that Dr. Sills had suggested exactly what rd been
looking for and began sketching out possible instrumentations.
The entire score for the production was arranged with the idea of having
one recorder (that could double on soprano and tenor recorder), four strings
(violin, viola, cello, cello), and one percussionist, plus the conductor. One thought
was also to have the recorder player double on bassoon or oboe (since we had a
musician who could do that), but that turned out to be unnecessary. On paper and
in theory the work seemed to be complete when the parts were completed. But, the
difficult task of contracting musicians was more than I had expected.
Susan Carlson agreed to conduct the music early on, which was a source of
much relief to me. Eddie Franklin, our percussionist, is an actor from the drama
department who was glad to use one of his hidden talents and had committed
himself to the production in November. Andy Gott had also agreed to play
~I
recorder - and double woodwinds if necessary - before the music was even
arranged. No violinists could be found at all, but Rachel Popma (another recorder
player and flutist) expressed interest in being part of the show, so she was given
the violin part to cover. Katie Cooke could play the shows, but had conflicts for
many rehearsals; but since no other violists could have done any better, she
agreed to play. There was incredible difficulty finding a cellist, so I knew early on
that finding two cellists was certainly wishful thinking. I decided to play the bass
to cover one ceno part. Cassie Henderson agreed to play cello on Saturday and
Sunday, and Mike Reynolds agreed to play Friday. Neither could play Thursday,
and no other Ball State cellists could play either. I eventually did track down
another cellist, but she backed out at the last minute. Just when we thought
Thursday's show would have no cellist, Cassie was able to work her schedule so
she could play.
These laBt minute changes in instrumentation necessitated a few other
changes that are not reflected in the score on the following pages. During the
dress rehearsals it was decided that two recorders were far too piercing to be
played underneath speaking parts, so while two soprano recorders were used in
the preshow music, Rachel played the flute and Andy played the tenor recorder
during the rest of the show. Even so, several sections of parts had to be transposed
at the octave for balance purposes, and Rachel's part occasionally was scored too
low for her, sin<:e it was originally intended for the violin. The bass was far too
Iowa voice to balance and it was upsetting the tonality of the music, so I had to
play all parts at cello pitch (up an octave).
The following pages include a copy of Susan Carlson's score (with some of
her notes still in the margins), the rehearsal schedule for the production, and a
cue sheet for the musicians.

Olivia wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Cesario, to create a
world with "him," and tries anything she can to reach him.Viola must
not offend Olivia, nor can she reveal her true nature. To compound
matters, the compassionate Viola sympathizes with Olivia--she
herself has a love that must remain unrequited. In this instance, a
disguise creates a barrier rather than a gateway to a love relationship.
Olivia enter USR, Viola enter DSR
Olivia and Cesario can never connect because of the false world
created by Viola's disguise.

In reading the following thesis proposal, one will undoubtedly note the
differences between the the proposal and the final performance. I viewed this entire
project as a work in progress from the very beginning. The final product has evolved
from this initial proposal. The thesis statement was changed to reflect what we (the
cast and I) felt was a stronger thesis--the examination of the creation of lovers' worlds.
The absence of the research paper is due to my final concept of a "term paper come to
life," which is what I tried to present in the script. I feel the script that I wrote (the
interludes between scenes) says what I needed to say in a paper. I chose to fully
integrate the paper and performance.
Senior Honors Thesis/Workshop Production Proposal
L. Grace Godwin
Proposed:
A two pa.rt thesis to be presented in the Spring of 1996 to fulfill the Senior
Honors Thesis requirement for graduation from the Honors College at Ball State
University. The thesis would be centered on a study of the male/female courting
relationship in Shakespeare. The thesis would consist of a production and an
accompanying paper. Dr. Judy Yordon has agreed to mentor the workshop
production. Dr. William Liston from the English Department has also agreed to offer
his expertise.
Production Aspect:
Shakespeare cannot be studied without taking into consideration the element of
performance. The Department of Theatre and Dance Performance's workshop
production capability offers the perfect opportunity to study Shakespeare in this
manner. The production would consist of a selection of Shakespearean courting
scenes. These scenes will focus on the variance of power roles in relation to gender
within the three accepted classifications (history, comedy, and tragedy) of
Shakespeare's work. I intend to select scenes from the following works:
Henry V
V:ii
Richard III
I:ii
As You Like It
undecided
Twelfth Night
undecided
undecided
Romeo and Juliet
Much Ado About Nothing undecided
undecided
Taming of the Shrew
This workshop production offers a variety of opportunities to students. The cast
will consist of 6 - 10 actors probably doubling roles. This will be a very collaborative
event from the start, I intend to utilize the interpretive talents of the actors to their fullest.
The majority of our rehearsals will consist of discussions and analysis between the
actors in individual scenes and myself. After aUditions I would meet with the group
and collectively we will assign roles so that the actors will have the opportunity to play
roles in which they are interested. I am also entertaining the possibility of a narrator
figure to set the scenes and/or provide background information from my paper.
The production will be simple. Actors will dress in nondescript black, lighting
and stage effects will be minimal. Music however, will be included. Anita Hagerman,
a fellow honors student, will be incorporating her thesis on Elizabethan music and
history into this production. She will use either actual Elizabethan music or original
music in a compatible style.
Proposed audition dates are December 1 - 3. This early audition date will allow
actors to read the plays over Christmas Break. I would begin rehearsals on the
second or third week in January. The production would run April 11 - 14. I must clarify
the need for such a long rehearsal process. The rehearsals in January and February
would consist entirely of discussion and research. The traditional rehearsal process
--
would not begin until March 11. None of these rehearsals would conflict with any
spring departmental production. My course work will be completed at the end of this
semester and therefore my full attention can be devoted to this project. I can (and will)
rehearse at any time of the day and will work my schedule around that of the actors.
This will allow me to work with multiple scenes each day.
The performance aspect of this project is imperative to the project as I see it. I
cannot justify a major study of Shakespeare that would not include performance. This
project allows me to study Shakespeare in a complete manner and I feel it is a
springboard for my further study--hopefully at the Shakespeare Institute of the
University of Birmingham.
Research Paper Aspect:
While Shakespeare is intended for performance, it also calls for study in a
literary manner. The research paper aspect of my project is intended to explore the
canon in this way. It will be an expansion and elaboration of the ideas brought forth in
the performancB aspect of my project. I would include not only the plays performed,
but also other plays in the canon. This part of my thesis will fulfill the Honrs 499
requirement for graduation from the Ball State University Honors College and I feel it
will be of great use when applying to my chosen graduate school.
This project is intended to be a culmination of my five (!) years of theatrical study
at Ball State. While it would be an ending to my career as a Ball State student, it
would also be a beginning to a career in theatre devoted to Shakespearean study. My
passion for Shakespeare was rekindled in my recent journey to England and I hope to
make the study and production of Shakespeare my life's work. It is my sincerest hope
to bring his work to life in America as I felt it was alive in England.
The following information was posted throughout the Arts and Communications
Building prior to auditions. Twenty actors auditioned for the production, they are, in my
opinion, the finest actors in the department. I was very lucky to have such a good
turnout. I have also included a callback list in this section, which, with the addition of
Robyn Norris, who could not attend callbacks, became my cast list.

As in any production, schedules are due to change at a moments notice. I have
included some copies of the various incarnations of rehearsal schedules in hopes of
giving some sort of impression of how I rehearsed for this show. It was interesting
attempting to switch from an As you Like It frame of mind to a Ricbard III frame of mind
in the space of a few minutes, but rehearsing many scenes in one day helped me to
look at the production as a whole. It also allowed me to cast some of the finest (and
busiest) actors in the department. Had I gone with the traditional 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm
rehearsal time, I would not have been able to cast in the same way.

I need to speak with the cast members of Richard III, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You
Like It in order to work out the best possible rehearsal time. I will not begin rehearsing Midsummer
until at least after the Improv show, probably not until after Pericles.
Please make sure to read your play(s) at least once before our first rehearsal. I am looking
forward to starting work with you!

Hi everyone, just a little note here about the schedule etc. for the next few weeks. Actually three--yes that's right, we open in
three weeks. I feel that everything is going pretty well, but because I'll be out of town for the next week (until March 28) I thought I'd let
you know the deal.
Item number one--please get off script as soon as possible. I know some scenes have rehearsed more than others, but it is
really impossible to make any progress while still on book. Juliana Heeter (our brave stage manager, in case you didn't know), will be
happy to work with you individually if you need to, or she will be on book if you meet with your partner. Her number is 287-9608--please
give her a call. Anita will also be happy to work with you, you can reach her at our house which is 284-7028.

We will most likely rehearse individual scenes after the runs, we'll decide when we get there. I'd really appreciate it if everyone
was mostly off book by April 1. Midsummer folks--since we haven't worked much just give it your best shot, we've got plenty of time. If
you are in a scene, but haven't rehearsed for it (i.e. Baptista, Alice, etc.) don't worry, you'll have plenty of time when the runs begin to
get into the scene. The narration parts in between scenes will be ready by the first run, they will be on cards--so you can just read it. If
you have any questions about any of this let Juliana know, I'll be in contact with her.
Item number three - Thanks for all of your hard work in the past weeks. I know everyone is busy, and I appreciate your
attention to this show. I am very excited to see this thing come together. Break a leg Merrily and Dutchman folks!
