A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR:

Welcome to our preview set from FOLK YEAH!

This project has been in the works since about 2 weeks after I signed my first contract with Panoramic Voices back in 2022. Invoke has taken the Austin classical scene by storm; it should come as no surprise that they were at the top of Panoramic’s collaborator wish list! If you haven’t heard them already, I suspect you’re about to see what I’m talking about…

From the beginning of our conversations around this project, Invoke and I agreed that every step of the way should be as collaborative as possible; I think you will see the results of that incredible dynamic here tonight. We’ve assembled what we think is a truly special mix of folk music, much of which was arranged by both Invoke and Panoramic as a team! While tonight’s concert is just an abbreviated set, you’ll still get to enjoy music from Invoke’s repertoire, re-written to incorporate our choir; pop-folk classics; and even some world premieres!

KNOW THE WORDS? Please do sing along! Tonight is casual. Tonight is about joy. Clap, cheer, dance in the aisles, and take breaks as needed. Of course, we encourage you to support CENTRAL MACHINE WORKS by buying drinks and food, too. This awesome local brewery believes that choir is cool; let’s show them how right they are!

I’d be remiss not to mention that registration is open for our next project, IN THE ALCHEMIST’S GARDEN. In continuing our season of collaborations, this immersive choral experience will be presented at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center as part of their Luminations light installation in December! More information, including the rehearsal schedule, can be found on the registration form here.

I’d also like to encourage you to check out Invoke’s upcoming album, Evolve & Travel, which will be released next weekend through Sono Luminus! More information can be found on their website or here!

I hope you find something special about this evening. It’s been a deeply meaningful, endlessly satisfying couple of months for us at Panoramic, and I’m personally struggling to let this one go. But here we are; it’s happening; and I’m just so happy you are here to see it!

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

-Juli

ABOUT INVOKE:

Described as “...not anything but everything: Classical, Folk, Bluegrass, Americana and a sound yet to be termed seamlessly merged into a perfect one” (David Srebnik, SiriusXM Classical Producer), Invoke (Nick Montopoli, violin/banjo/vocals; Zach Matteson, violin/vocals; Karl Mitze, viola/mandolin/vocals; Geoff Manyin, cello/vocals) strives to successfully dodge even the most valiant attempts at genre classification. The multi-instrumental quartet encompasses traditions from across America, including bluegrass, Appalachian fiddle tunes, jazz, and minimalism. Fueled by their passion for storytelling, Invoke weaves all of these styles together to form a unique contemporary repertoire, featuring original works composed by and for the group.

Invoke was selected to be the Young Professional String Quartet in Residence at the University of Texas at Austin from 2016-2018. Since being selected as Interlochen’s Emerging Artists Quartet in 2014, the group has been a featured artist and on faculty at the Interlochen Adult Chamber Music Camp. The group also participated in the Emerging String Quartet Program at Stanford, and was selected as an Artist in Residence at Strathmore and the Fellowship String Quartet at Wintergreen Performing Arts. In 2018, Invoke was named a winner of the Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition in New York, NY, received First Prize at the M-Prize International Chamber Arts competition in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and received First Prize in the Coltman Competition in Austin, Texas.

GREEN, GREEN ROCKY ROAD

TRADITIONAL, ARR. KARL MITZE
CHORAL PARTS BY JULI ORLANDINI

When I go back to Baltimore
Cuando regrese a Baltimore

Ain’t no carpet on my floor
No habrá alfombra en el piso

Come along and follow me
Ven y sígueme

We'll go down to Galilee
Bajaremos a Galilea

—

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO:

Green, green rocky road
Camino verde, verde y rocoso

You promenade in green
Paseas vestido de verde

Tell me who ya love
Dime a quien amas

Tell me who ya love
Dime a quien amas

See that crow up in the sky
Mira ese cuervo en el cielo

He don't walk, no he just fly
No camina, sólo vuela

He don't walk, no he don't run
No camina, tampoco corre

He keep on flapping to the sun
Sigue aleteando hacia el sol

—

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO

—

Little Miss Jane runnin’ to the wall
La señorita Jane corriendo hacia la pared

Don't you stumble, don't you fall
No tropieces, no te caigas

Don't you sing and don't you shout
No cantes y no grites

When I sing you come runnin' out
Cuando canto, sal corriendo

—

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO

—

Hooka tooka soda cracker,
Hooka tooka, galleta de soda

Does your mama chew tobacca?
¿Mastica tabaco tu mamá?

If your mama chew tobacca,
Si tu mamá mastica tabaco,

Hooka tooka give your mom a soda cracker.
Hooka tooka, dale a tu mamá una galleta de soda

ALCHEMY

BY INVOKE / NICK MONTOPOLI

I’LL FLY AWAY

TRADITIONAL, ARR. KARL MITZE & JULI ORLANDINI

Some bright morning when this life is over I’ll fly away
Alguna mañana brillante, cuando esta vida termine, me iré volando

To that home on God's celestial shore (I’ll fly away)
A ese hogar en la costa celestial de Dios (me iré volando)

—

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO
I'll fly away, oh glory
Me iré volando, oh gloria

I'll fly away, in the morning
Me iré volando por la mañana

When I die, Hallelujah by and by
Cuando yo me muera, aleluya, dentro de poco

I'll fly away
Me iré volando

—

When the shadows of this life have gone (I’ll fly away)
Cuando las sombras de esta vida se hayan ido (me iré volando)

Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly (I’ll fly away)
Como un pájaro desde los muros de esta prisión volaré (me iré volando)

—

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO

—

Just a few more weary days and then (I’ll fly away)
Sólo unos días de cansancio y entonces (me iré volando)

To a land where joys will never end (I’ll fly away)
A una tierra donde las alegrías nunca terminarán (me iré volando)

—

CHORUS / ESTRIBILLO

THE WATER IS WIDE
(with BRING ME LITTLE WATER SYLVIE)

TRADITIONAL, ARR. ROLLO DILWORTH

The water is wide, I cannot cross o’er,
El agua es ancha, no puedo cruzarla,

Neither have I wings to fly.
Tampoco tengo alas para volar.

Build me a boat that can carry two,
Constrúyeme un barco que pueda transportar a dos personas,

And both shall row,
Y ambos remaremos,

My love and I.
Mi amor y yo.

—

A ship there is and she sails the seas.
Hay un barco, y navega por los mares.

She’s loaded deep, as deep can be;
Está cargada, lo más profundo posible

But not so deep as the love I’m in
Pero no tan profundo como el amor que yo siento

I know not if I sink or swim.
No sé si me hundo o nado.

—

Bring me little water, Sylvie
Tráeme un poquito de agua, Sylvie

Bring me little water now
Tráeme un poquito de agua ahora

Bring me little water, Sylvie
Tráeme un poquito de agua, Sylvie

Every little once in a while
De vez en cuando

—

Oh love is handsome and love is kind
Oh el amor es hermoso y el amor es amable

Bright as a jew’l when first it’s new.
Brillante como una joya cuando sea nuevo

But love grows old and waxes cold
Pero el amor envejece y se enfría

And fades away like morning dew.
Y se desvanece como el rocío de la mañana

ROSIN THE BEAU

TRADITIONAL, ARR. KARL MITZE

I’ve traveled all over this wide world
He viajado por todo este mundo grande

And now to another I’ll go
Y ahora a otro me voy

I know that good quarters are waiting
Sé que me esperan buenos alojamientos

For to welcome old Rosin the Beau
Para darle la bienvenida al viejo Rosin the Beau

—

When I’m dead and laid out on the counter
Cuando esté muerto y yazco sobre el mostrador

A voice you will hear from below
Escucharás una voz desde abajo

Sayin’ “Send down a hogshead of whiskey,
Diciendo "Envía un montón de whisky

For to drink with old Rosin the Beau.”
para beber con el viejo Rosin the Beau."

—

Entonces consigue media docena de tipos rígidos

And line them all up in a row
Y ponlos todos en una fila

Let them drink out of half gallon bottles
Déjalos beber de botellas de medio galón.

To the memory of Rosin the Beau
A la memoria de Rosin the Beau

—

Then get this half dozen stout fellas
Entonces consigue esta media docena de tipos fuertes

And let them all stagger and go
Y deja que todos se tambaleen y se vayan

And dig a great hole in the meadow
a cavar un gran hoyo en el prado

To put in old Rosin the Beau
Para poner al viejo Rosin the Beau

—

El nombre del viejo Rosin the Beau.

I’ve only this one consolation
Tengo sólo un consuelo

As out of this world I will go.
Como me voy de este mundo

I know that the next generation
Sé que la próxima generación

Will resemble old Rosin the Beau!
¡Se parecerá al viejo Rosin the Beau!

—

I fear that old tyrant approaching,
Temo que se acerque ese viejo tirano

That cruel and remorseless old foe.
Ese viejo enemigo cruel y despiadado

And I lift up me glass in his honor
Y levanto mi copa en su honor

To drink with old Rosin the Beau!
¡Para beber con el viejo Rosin the Beau!

—

CHORUS (JOIN US!) / ESTRIBILLO (¡CANTA CON NOSOTROS!)

Levantamos una copa en su honor

To drink with old Rosin the Beau!

THE BOXER

BY PAUL SIMON
AS PERFORMED BY MUMFORD & SONS
ARR. KARL MITZE & JULI ORLANDINI

I am just a poor boy
Soy sólo un chico pobre

Though my story's seldom told
Aunque mi historia rara vez se cuenta

I squandered my resistance
desperdicié mi resistencia

For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
para un bolsillo lleno de murmullos como son las promesas

All lies and jests
Solo mentiras y bromas

Still a man hears
Todavía un hombre oye

What he wants to hear
lo que quisiera oír

And disregards the rest
E ignora al resto

—

When I left my home and my family
Cuando me fuí de la casa y de mi familia

I was no more than a boy
todavía no era más que un niño

In the company of strangers
rodeado de extraños

In the quiet of the railway stations running scared
corriendo asustado en el silencio de las estaciones de tren

Laying low seeking out the poor quarters
Pasando desapercibido buscando los barrios pobres

Where the ragged people go
dónde va la gente andrajosa

Looking for the places
buscando los lugares

Only they would know
que sólo conocían ellos

—

Asking only workman's wages
Pidiendo sólo un salario de obrero

I come looking for a job
vengo buscando un trabajo

But I get no offers
pero no recibo ofertas

Just a come-on
solo invitaciones

From the girls on seventh avenue
De las chicas de la séptima avenida

I do declare there were times
Confieso que hubo momentos

When I was so lonesome
Cuando me sentía tan solo

I took some comfort there
Que allí encontré algo de consuelo

—

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
Luego estoy preparando mi ropa gruesa

And wishing I was gone, going home
Y deseando estar lejos y volver a casa

Where the New York City winters
Donde los inviernos de la ciudad de Nueva York

Aren’t bleeding me, leading me, going home
No me hagan sangrar, llevándome, voy a casa

—

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
En el claro se encuentra un pugilista y un luchador por oficio

And he carries the reminder of every glove that laid him down
Y lleva el recordatorio de cada guante que lo derribó

And cut him till he cried out in his anger and his shame
y lo cortó hasta que gritó en su rabia y en su vergüenza.

I am leaving I am leaving but the fighter still remains
Me voy, me voy pero el luchador aún se queda.

THE END!
