Voyagers We, Undaunted by Richard Meyer
Written as a metaphor for the hardship and isolation caused by the 2020 pandemic, this dramatic tone poem is a testament to courage and the undaunted nature of the human spirit. The piece follows the voyage of a ship and its crew to the open sea and into a devastating storm resulting in the separation of the crew and its ultimate reunion. The memorable melodies and stirring harmonies are sure to peak your students' imaginations while a variety of key and time signatures will challenge every section of the advanced string orchestra. A percussion part has been included to add touches of nautical color, resulting in an emotional, picturesque voyage with a cinematic flair. Check out Voyagers We, Undaunted by Richard Meyer (6:40)
Meyer, Richard: - Richard Meyer, Robert and Ruth Halperin Professor in Art History, teaches courses in twentieth-century American art, the history of photography, arts censorship and the first amendement, curatorial practice, and gender and sexuality studies. His first book, Outlaw Representation: Censorship and Homosexuality in Twentieth-Century American Art, was awarded the Charles C. Eldredge Prize for Outstanding Scholarship from the Smithsonian American Art Museum. In 2013, he published What Was Contemporary Art?, a study of the idea of the contemporary in early twentieth-century American art, and, with Catherine Lord, Art and Queer Culture, a survey focusing on the dialogue between visual art and non-normative sexualities from 1885 to the present. Professor Meyer is interested in the relation between the academic discipline of art history and the practice of museum curating. Prior to arriving at Stanford, he taught undergradaute curatorial courses at USC and the University of Pennsylvania, both of which culminated in museum exhibitions. In 2014, he will co-teach an undergraduate curatorial course with Connie Wolf, the Director of the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford, that will result in a collaboratively organized show at the museum. Outiside the context of university teaching, Meyer served as guest curator of Warhol's Jews: Ten Portraits Reconsidered at the Jewish Museum in New York and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco and of Naked Hollywood: Weegee in LosAngeles at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
