The Choral Music of

Ronald Perera

ECS Publishing :: Music Associates of New York :: Pear Tree Press Music Publishers

Ronald Perera is among the finest living combiners of words and music.John Story, Fanfare

RONALD PERERAS (b. Boston, 1941) compositions include operas, song cycles, chamber, choral and orchestral works, and several works for instruments or voices with electronic sounds. He is perhaps best known for his settings of texts by authors as diverse as Dickinson, Joyce, Grass, Sappho, Cummings, Shakespeare, Francis of Assisi, Melville, Ferlinghetti, and Updike. Several major pieces are represented on compact disc. Reviewing CRI CD 796 for Fanfare magazine, critic John Story writes, Three Poems of Gnter Grass is, quite simply, one of the most haunting works of the last 25 years. Reviewing The Outermost House on Albany Troy 314 he writes, When he is on form, Ronald Perera is among the finest living combiners of words and music. . . . The music is simply lovely.

Perera studied composition with Leon Kirchner at Harvard and electronic music with Gottfried Michael Koenig at the University of Utrecht. He also worked independently with Randall Thompson in choral music and with Mario Davidovsky in electronic music. He has received awards or fellowships from Harvard University, the Paderewski Fund, the Goethe Institute, the MacDowell Colony, the Artists Foundation of Massachusetts, the National Association of Teachers of Singing, the Bogliasco Foundation, Meet the Composer, the National Endowment for the Arts and ASCAP. In 1975 he co-edited The Development and Practice of Electronic Music for Prentice-Hall. His music is published by E.C. Schirmer (ECS Publishing), Boosey and Hawkes, Music Associates of New York, and Pear Tree Press Music Publishers, and is recorded principally on the CRI, Opus One, Albany, and Navona labels.

His String Quartet, commissioned by the South Mountain Association, was premiered by the Muir Quartet in 2004. His childrens opera, The Araboolies of Liberty Street, commissioned by the Manhattan School of Music, was premiered in New York in 2002. Michigan Opera Theater gave many in-school performances of the opera during the 2005-06 and 2013-14 seasons. His cantata, The Golden Door, based on Ellis Island archives, was premiered in New York by the New Amsterdam Singers in 1999. His choral work Why I Wake Early, on poems of Mary Oliver, was co-commissioned and premiered by the Chatham Chorale on Cape Cod in 2007 and by the New Amsterdam Singers in New York in 2008. It was recorded by Bostons Coro Allegro in 2012. His two-act opera, S., which is based on the novel by John Updike, received a fully staged workshop performance in Northampton, MA in 1995. In 1989 his two-act opera, The Yellow

About the Composer

Wallpaper, with libretto adapted from the Charlotte Perkins Gilman novella by Constance Congdon, premiered in Northampton. It received its New York premiere at the Manhattan School of Music in 1992 and was produced (Act 1) at the University of New Hampshire in 2003. The complete opera was produced by the Chicago College of Performing Arts in 2006.

His vocal chamber work Crossing the Meridian, commissioned by Boston Musica Viva, has been performed by Gerard Schwarz at Merkin Hall, by the Lontano Ensemble in London, and by the Eastman Musica Nova in Rochester and the Twentieth Century Consort in Washington. Some other significant performances include Bright Angels at the Almeida Festival, London (1986), Chamber Concerto at the 1984 Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music, Tolling at Alice Tully Hall (1980) and at the 12th Concours International de Musique Electroacous-tique at Bourges (1984), Three Poems of Gnter Grass at the 1976 Holland Festival, in Berlin on the Boston Musica Vivas European tour and at the Aspen Music Festival, and Reverbera-tions at the 1974 Avignon Festival. His Mass for chorus and orchestra, which premiered in 1973 at the Washington National Cathedral, received its New York premiere in a new version with two-piano accompaniment in 1994 with the New York Virtuoso Singers. The Outermost House was premiered on Cape Cod in 1991 by the Chatham Chorale. It was first performed in New York in 1994 by the New Amsterdam Singers. Visions received its premiere with the Boston Musica Viva in 1997. Music for Flute and Orchestra has had performances by the Cleveland Chamber Symphony (1997) and the Springfield Symphony Orchestra (1999).

His music has been performed by such artists as Phyllis Bryn-Julson, Sanford Sylvan, John Aler, Elsa Charlston, Leonard Raver, Scott Nikrenz, Samuel Sanders, Roman Totenberg, Jane Bryden, Karen Smith Emerson, Marni Nixon, James Maddalena, Douglas Perry, Jon Hum-phrey, and Linda Hirst and under the direction of conductors including Gerard Schwarz, Har-old Rosenbaum, Richard Dufallo, David Gilbert, Edwin London, Theodore Antoniou, Richard Pittman, David Stock, Christopher Kendall, Amy Kaiser, Odaline de la Martinez, Paul Calla-way, Clara Longstreth, Wayne Abercrombie, and David Hodgkins.
