"Goblin Market" [Daniel Steven Crafts]

subject: chorus: men's TBB chorus|SA chorus
subject: instrumentation: flute|bassoon|strings|oboe|piano
subject: initial sharps/flats: no sharps or flats
subject: initial time signature: 4/4
subject: origin: United States
subject: male composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "Goblin Market"
description: Composition history: When asked how he came to set multiple Rossetti texts, Crafts responded: "I first discovered C Rossetti's poetry through Goblin Market. I found it an intriguing Gothic tale which I used to read aloud around the campfire during backpacking trips through the American Southwest. Through that process over several years, I found that melodies were forming in my head. Eventually, I constructed a libretto using the poem virtually verbatim, but assigning the words to the two women of course, but also to a narrator and women's and men's choruses. Perhaps the highlight of the opera is the lullaby that the two girls sing to each other after Laura has eaten the fruit but is still unaware of the consequences. I see it as the "calm before the storm." (Crafts)
description: Tempo markings: quarter note = 52
description: Performance instructions: "An opera in one act based by the poem by Christina Rossetti." To be performed by a cast of solo characters, women's chorus, men's chorus and flute, oboe, bassoon and strings (or two pianos).

There are also four soloists from the men's chorus: Goblin 1: bass; Goblin 2: baritone; Goblin 3: tenor; Goblin 4: tenor.

"Goblin Market" [Joseph Klein]
title: First line of lyrics: Laughed every goblin when they spied her peeping
subject: genre: instrumental|theatre music
subject: solo: voice|spoken narration
subject: instrumentation: trombone (alto)|trombone (tenor)|piano (prepared)|intermedia environment
subject: initial sharps/flats: no sharps or flats
subject: origin: United States
subject: male composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "Goblin Market"
description: Notes about the text: Klein’s program notes indicate that “The work itself is not intended as a programmatic representation of the poem, but is rather a structural and psychological study of the actions and characters portrayed therein; as such, it exists as a parallel or alternate realization of the original, almost as a shadow or specter.” Klein’s interpretation probes the psychology of the poem, and while it makes minimal use of text from Rossetti's poem, Klein's composition is closely modeled on the poem formally and structurally as well as psychologically.
description: Composition history: Supported by a Composer Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
description: Performance instructions: Klein’s Goblin Market for solo trombonist and environment is to be performed by “trombonist with prepared piano and intermedia environment.” The intermedia environment includes amplification, live FX processing, computer music, lighting, and staging.

"Goblin Market" [Conor Mitchell]
title: First line of lyrics: And so, Jeannie dwindled and went grey, and grew thin, until finally, Jeannie died.

subject: solo: female voice

subject: instrumentation: orchestra
subject: initial sharps/flats: no sharps or flats
subject: initial time signature: 12/8
subject: origin: United Kingdom
subject: male composer
description: Rossetti poem(s): "Goblin Market"
description: Work contains texts by multiple authors
description: Notes about the text: Kath Burlinson’s libretto/book for this chamber musical adds a significant amount of new creative content, specifically, new characters and both spoken dialogue and sung original poetic text that are not part of Rossetti’s poem. The ghost of Jeannie [sic] is added as a solo singing role, and a new narrative frame is also introduced. This new narrative frame draws on details from Rossetti’s fictional work "Speaking Likenesses" (1874).
description: Composition history: Commissioned by the National Youth Musical Theatre.
description: Tempo markings: "Moderato 4 / Ghostly"
description: Performance instructions: "A Chamber Musical in One Act, adapted from the poem by Christina Rossetti." Musical score with occasional brief sections of spoken dialogue; musical score for six female soloists, a large ensemble forming SATB chorus, orchestra accompaniment. "Goblin Market is a sung through work for ensemble and orchestra. What makes this piece different is that all of the main roles are for women and girls. The ensemble comprises of any number of young people. This is not an easy work. The score is a complex in harmonies, counterpoints and the orchestration is rich and dense. Goblin Market works at the opera-musical interface and is a challenging work for any company." ("Goblin Market")

"The Dancer" (Edmund Waller).
description: Composition history: A note on the score states that "the cycle was commissioned by the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation. It was composed between November, 1978 and May, 1979 on the island of Nantucket, hence the title. An apt subtitle might be 'Popular Songs', insofar as "Popular" means "entertaining" as opposed to "classically" indirect. Indeed, these songs -- merry or complex or strange though their texts may seem -- aim away from the head and toward the diaphragm. They are, as collegians say, emotional rather than intellectual, and need not to be understood to be enjoyed."

description: Performance instructions: "The questions must be nervous and hastening. The answers, as though by another voice, are cool and held back."

description: Place in the larger work: The fifth song of five in the song cycle called "Christina's World," settings of Christina Rossetti poems. The songs include 1. "A birthday"; 2. "Who has seen the wind?"; 3. "Amor mundi"; 4. "When I am dead, my dearest"; 5. "Up-hill."
description: Composition history: Composed for soprano Gwen Coleman Detwiler, of the Cincinnati College-Conservatory’s voice faculty (Hall). On her website, Juliana Hall writes that "'the five songs of “Christina’s World,' on poems by Christina Rossetti, loosely follow a narrative arc beginning with the joyful emotions of true love, and continuing with darker observations about the nature of being alive and of the questions of life and death, the tension of which is resolved at the end of the cycle with a positive sense that as one approaches the end of this life, all will be well and find a place of welcome and rest" (Hall).

description: Rossetti poem(s): "Up-Hill"
description: Composition history: A composer's note alongside the score explains that Raphael "endeavored to translate the words of the poets into music" which she was inspired to do after hearing James Stephens chant the verses of "Fifteen Acres." She was "strongly impressed [. . .] by the close interrelationship of the cadence, rhythm, tone, and accent in his chanting, and in the music which the words had suggested." In her other settings since, she has kept "the melody as closely as possible in consonance with the spirit and metrical form of the verses." She goes on to write, "For example, the poem 'Up-hill' consists of eight questions and eight answers. The questions, in a minor tone, modulate successively upward, one half-step - a frantic quest for the solution of the eternal query - whither? The answers are treated in a major key, mysterious, confident, final." (Raphael, xi)
