Jubilee
by Mark Duggan
Performed by Morris Palter
at the University of Kentucky
Singletary Center for the Arts
April 11, 2007
"Jubilee" (2006) was inspired by the ancient Hebrew concept of the Jubilee, which was a year of emancipation and restoration provided by law to be kept every fifty years. The Jubilee was not a celebration of past achievements and successes but rather an oppurtunity for social and spiritual renewal. It often involved the freeing of slaves, the restoration of seized property to its former owners, the forgiveness of debts and the deliberate omission of land cultivation. On an emotional and spiritual level, the Jubilee represented a conscious rebirth for both the collective society and individuals. Taking this as a point of departure, I imagined a work that would contain a strong sense of celebration but which also would transform itself into a kind of openendedness that such a leap of faith implies. I chose the glockenspiel for its timbral brilliance and the melodic possibilities and intended the electronic audio as the emotional underpinning of the work.
Morris is the Artistic Director of Ensemble 64.8 (UAF percussion ensemble), the Artistic Director for the University of Alaska Fairbanks New Music Festival, the World Music Artistic Coordinator for the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival, and the Co-Artistic Director for the SoundON Modern Music Festival held each year in San Diego.
