totally differ ent setting the words for in time of come from an e.e cummings poem certain poems just sing to me off the page sametz said the words flow into certain sound colors for me christopher frisco 02 a music major said that in time op was a very personal piece for his conductor to write it was written m memorium of someone he knew so it's about the process of remembering and mourning and surviving and forgetting he said it obviously has a lot of feeling behind it and it is absolutely stunning sametz keeps his target performing group m mind as he composes his works if i write for the lehigh chorus the piece will be totally different than if i were writing for the princeton singers he said it's hard to write for commis sion it's like writing a term paper for a professor or something there is a due date and everything sametz said he loves to hear his music performed it's like having children you get to lavish a lot of attention on them he said the great part about lehigh is i can compose on thursday and then i am lit erally at the xerox machine on friday preparing for a rehearsal of my work that night the immediacy is terrific it's such a great lab aspect the hard part about it though is sending my music to be per formed by other groups i have to worry that my children don't get molested frisco spoke of the advantages of working direcdy with the composer it's a unique experience singing under the conductor who also wrote the piece frisco said there is no guess work involved so there is a very intimate connection he knows exactly what he wants to be sung because he is express ing a part of himself tiffany giangiulio 02 holds sametz m high esteem you get a lot more accomplished and you sound a lot better when working under him she said he's pretty brilliant and has an amazing ear to hear exactly what he wants heard giangiulio said sametz is able to pin point one person m a group of fifty the choir stands m a certain order so when we blend voices he is able to move the one person to make the blend better she said the interaction with the students pro see holocaust page 7 see sametz page 5 55555 ssaib *'' b wm&msm^^mbmm quick
