Lewis Spratlan
When Crows Gather
Duration: 18'
cl(Ebcl), cl(Ebcl, bcl), cl (bcl), vn, vc, pf Composer's note: When Crows Gather Farmer's Almanac to predict a severe winter. There followed various musical ruminations on winter, troubled always by the maddening din of the crows which, as it happens, are clearly evoked only at the end of the piece. When Crows Gather is scored for three clarinets (the first and second doubling piccolo clarinet and E-flat clarinet, the second and third doubling bass clarinet), violin, cello, and piano. It is in nine principal segments, played without pause; the pitch material of each generated in some fashion by a single three-note group.
Critical acclaim: When Crows Gather was inspired by an incident one December morning when a throng of crows gathered in trees outside Spratlan's studio. In the onrushing opening section, the instruments evoke wintry winds through swooshing, darting thematic lines, before the music settles into a loopy dance. An Ivesian episode follows in which chorale-like evocations of summertime parlor songs and a near-inaudible piano rag are jabbed by spiky counterpoint for strings...The arresting piece is [filled with] complex and gritty language.

BMI Composer Lewis Spratlan Wins Pulitzer Prize Congratulations to BMI classical composer Lewis Spratlan, winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize in Music. Mr. Spratlan's winning work was the concert version of Act II of his three act opera, Life is a Dream , which is published by Associated Music Publishers. BMI is proud to represent the catalogs of 27 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Music.
The world premiere of Spratlan's award-winning work was given on January 28, 2000 by the Dinosaur Annex Music Ensemble, conducted by J. David Jackson, at Amherst College. The soloists included John Cheek and Allan Glassman of the Metropolitan Opera and Christina Bouras of Glimmerglass and New York City Opera. Originally written in 1975-78 on a commission from the New Haven Opera Theatre, the work was never performed by that company because it folded while Spratlan was "in the middle of writing the last act."

An Interview with Lewis Spratlan
On April 10, 2000, Lewis Spratlan caught the attention of the world when his opera Life is a Dream won the Pulitzer Prize for music. The Pulitzer is awarded for "distinguished musical composition of significant dimension by an American that has had its first performance in the United States during the year". The work was a collaboration with librettist James Maraniss, and is based on La vida es sueño by Pedro Calderón. It was commissioned by the New Haven Opera Theatre, and had its (partial) premiere on January 28, 2000. In addition to winning the Pulitzer, Spratlan (who is a professor of music at Amherst College) has received numerous fellowships: from the NEA, the Guggenheim Foundation, Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, the MacDowell Colony, and the Massachusetts Artists Foundation. Life is a Dream also won an award from the Rockefeller Foundation's New England Conservatory Opera Competition.

"AN INTERVIEW WITH LEWIS SPRATLAN" >Page
The Interview cont...
Q: What do you think of opera in comparison to other forms? How does composing an opera differ? A: I love opera, but the difficulties of getting a staged performance are paralyzingly intimidating. It's potentially the most engrossing form of music, of course. Q: In your opinion, what was/ is the greatest accomplishment of "Life is a Dream"? A: Greatest accomplishment of LID? Hmm... giving flesh to its timelessly insistent issues: father and son, fate and free will, dreams and reality. Finding a way to invest these themes with individual personalities and to have them interact illuminatingly. Discovering a great range of ways in which the orchestra extends the work's text and feelings. Carrying one along in a kind of inexorable momentum, as happens with the greatest of the Greek tragedies (no immodesty intended; I'm talking about a KIND of trajectory, not my success). Q: Did you work with James Maraniss or did you work separately?

Photo by Frank Ward, courtesy of Amherst College Pulitzer Surprise: Lewis Spratlan Wins for Second Act of 1978 Opera Lewis Spratlan has received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize in music for " Life is a Dream , Opera in Three Acts: Act II, Concert Version." The piece was premiered on January 28, 2000 by Dinosaur Annex in Amherst MA. Originally written in 1975-78 on a commission from the New Haven Opera Theatre, the work was never performed by that company because it folded while Spratlan was "in the middle of writing the last act." The opera is based on the 17th-century Spanish play " " by . Using an English libretto by James Maraniss , Mr. Spratlan creates a theatrical world in which the characters are given distinct musical thumbprints that are meant to embody their personalities. Dissonances and angularities of contemporary styles are linked with traditional dance, march and madrigal forms. Richard Dyer of The Boston Globe wrote of the piece, "... musical languages are used for the purpose of characterization...The vocal writing defines the characters in basic and subtle ways; it also keeps the text clear; the orchestration is vivid, colorful, imaginative, and characteristic in the sense that it too defines the characters...The music is full of effects that sound genuinely theatrical a military band approaches, for example, and there is some lively stage music (peasant dancing, a choral madrigal, etc.)". A native of Miami, Spratlan is a widely performed and much honored composer. A student of
