📀CD RELEASE TODAY📀
MoonStrike (2019), by Chickasaw Composer and U.S. Cultural Ambassador, Jerod Impichchaachaaha Tate. Featuring John Herrington, Narrator and Apollo Chamber Players!

Available in Amazon, Spotify, YouTubeMusic and Apple Music.

The work honors the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing through American Indian moon legends as narrated by Chickasaw astronaut John Herrington. Tate explains, “American Indian legends are very colorful and have a tendency to take twists and turns within the narrative. Regarding the Moon, it is very consistent that the traditional tales involve trickster characters and competitions for ownership of this precious object.” MoonStrike features three diverse American Indian legends, and is bookended with an arrangement of a Calusa Corn Dance.

Personell:
John Herrington, Narrator
Apollo Chamber Players:
Matt Detrick, Violin
Anabel Ramirez-Detrick, Violin
Whitney Bullock, Viola
Matthew Dudzik, Cello

Do you know what's cool? I mean really hands down awesome, freaking amazing cool? When the composer who is writing a role for you in his opera texts you a bit of it, you record it for him while sightreading, send it back, then he makes changes on the spot, and you record it and send it again. And you decide together what works best because he respects you that much as a musician, and you respect him that much as a composer, and it all just comes together. These were my last five minutes. Amazing.

Our Faculty Spotlight this week is on our composer-in-residence, Jerod Tate!

Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate, is a classical composer, citizen of the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma and is dedicated to the development of American Indian classical composition. His Washington Post review states that “Tate is rare as an American Indian composer of classical music. Rarer still is his ability to effectively infuse classical music with American Indian nationalism.”

Tate is Guest Composer/Conductor/Pianist for San Francisco Symphony Currents program Thunder Song: American Indian Musical Cultures and was recently Guest Composer for Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Balcony Bar program Home with ETHEL and Friends, featuring his commissioned work Pisachi (Reveal) for String Quartet.

Recent commissions include Shell Shaker: A Chickasaw Opera for Mount Holyoke Symphony Orchestra, Ghost of the White Deer, Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra for Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Hózhó (Navajo Strong) and Ithánali (I Know) for White Snake Opera Company. His music was recently featured on the HBO series Westworld.

His commissioned works have been performed by the National Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony and Chorus, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, South Dakota Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Ballet, Canterbury Voices, Dale Warland Singers, Santa Fe Desert Chorale and Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.

Tate has held Composer-in-Residence positions for Music Alive, a national residency program of the League of American Orchestras and New Music USA, the Joyce Foundation/American Composers Forum, Oklahoma City’s NewView Summer Academy, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and Grand Canyon Music Festival Native American Composer Apprentice Project. Tate was the founding composition instructor for the Chickasaw Summer Arts Academy and has taught composition to American Indian high school students in Minneapolis, the Hopi, Navajo and Lummi reservations and Native students in Toronto.

We are so looking forward to learning from him!

“We all come from people who struggled before. Every single person on this planet. I mean, our ancestors before us did not have it easy as we did…If you really think about it, every single family or group or community is trying to figure out how to survive and we’re always having to reinvent the wheel. That’s just a constant in The Human Experience. So I think if we can see it a little more like that, it takes some relief off, and you go, “People have done this before me, I can do this, I can take this day and solve one problem today. Tomorrow I can solve the next problem,” and you just take that one day at a time, and we have a lot of capabilities. We all have our own super powers that can come in handy in ways that may pleasantly surprise us.”
