Pamela Glew tells a beautiful but bittersweet story about how Alice Moore Hubbard and her husband, Elbert Hubbard, chose to spend their final minutes together

Story 3-2 Pamela Glew Interview

Wandering the halls of the old, abandoned Huron College

All I remember were fairly wide yellow brick buildings and maybe one of them had an open—I don’t want to call it a cloister—but a long open porch along one side of it. Huron moved out of that campus in—was in 51?—and it would be in that period that I would have been in high school, and it would have had to do with my tending to hang out along the river and down towards Gibbons Park.
I can remember being down there in the evening at some point, building a little fire and cooking beans in a can over—over the fire or something like that. So that whole area would have been much more rough and tumble, with the back-end of the Huron College campus just sort of merging with the slope that goes down to the river.
But that area, while it was secluded, was still open, and that’s why I would have strayed up onto the campus and wandered around through these buildings, and realized, well, there’s nobody here!
And so you know, one thing leads to another, and so you try a door, it’s unlocked, you wander through the buildings’ long hallways, and bedrooms, and various rooms that just didn’t register what that would have quite all have been about—because I hadn’t been to university at that point. And on one occasion I was in there with my bow-and-arrow, and shot out—as I said—shot a transom out of a window, out of sheer mischief.
But then I found a couple of abandoned books—late 19th century or middle 19th century—and as I recall they were books of poetry or something like that, that somebody hadn’t felt strongly enough about preserving. They had been left behind, and I cadged them and took them home. I was still a poor kid at that time!

That was a mirror over the window. And I did not know it. I didn't know the window was behind 
the mirror. So after we moved in I had decided that I hated them here because it was a very poor 
condition and we decided to take it off. And we're going to get it off, somebody had taken, cut 
the plaster out of this mirror right against the last, so the whole thing had to be rebuilt. A small 
problem turned into a big one. But at the same time this piece of glass was missing, the little 
white diamond shape. So we decided well we'd find something for later because it was Spring. 
We wasn't worried about cold weather or anything. So later on in the summer we were outside 
digging to build, plant a tree, or something, or a bush and this popped out of the ground. And I 
when I saw it, I said of course it was all dirty. And when I saw it I said that looks like the glass 
that would fit in that the window inside so I brought it in and long behold it fit. So that's how that 
got restored. And I often think of it how lucky can one be to find something like that so far away 
from the original spot.

THE ARTIST 
 
Originally from Windsor, Ontario, Adam Iannetta is currently in the fourth year of his 
Doctorate of Musical Arts at Western University, and is gaining notoriety as a versatile, up-
and-coming performer. 
 
Having started his musical career at the University of Windsor, Adam continues to be a 
featured soloist with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, having performed the role of Riff as 
part of the ensemble’s production of West Side Story in Concert earlier this September. In 
addition, Adam has been a recurring member of Western University’s Opera Workshop, 
performances including L’heure Espagnole, Ravel; La Bohème, Puccini; Hansel and Gretel, 
Humperdinck; The Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert & Sullivan. 
 
Although classically trained, Adam is no stranger to contemporary and popular music. From 
opera and oratorio to musical theatre and jazz, Adam has never been one to turn down an 
opportunity to learn new music. Just as well, his versatility and charming sense of humour are 
easily apparent both on and off the stage. During his time at Western, Adam has worked 
alongside directors including Tom Diamond, Michael Cavanagh, and Allison Grant as head of 
administration and stage management for the school’s Opera Workshop program. 
 
Through his doctoral studies, Adam hopes to cultivate his performance practice and 
musicianship to advocate all genres of music (classical and contemporary) as being more 
accessible to all groups and communities.

Program Notes
James Clifton Williams Jr. was born in Traskwood, Arkansas, in 
1923. Despite the financial difficulties of the depression of the early 
1930’s, Williams fared well in school, learning the piano, mellophone, 
and french horn. In his senior class of 600, he was voted the most 
outstanding in artistry, talent, and versatility. In 1942, he joined 
the Army Air Corps as a bandsman, serving as drum major and 
composing works at every opportunity. After the war, he attended 
Louisiana State University and went on to earn his M. M. degree at 
the Eastman School of Music in 1949. He taught at the University 
of Texas at Austin for seventeen years. In the ten years before 
his death in 1976, he served as chairman of the department of 
theory and composition at the University of Miami, where he was 
influenced by and became close friends with Frederick Fennell.

Dedicatory Overture was commissioned by Epsilon Upsilon Chapter 
of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia (National Honorary Music Fraternity) 
at Evansville College, Indiana. The piece was written for the 
dedication services of a brand-new music building at Evansville 
College and was first performed in the spring of 1963 by the 
College’s Concert Band under the direction of Wesley Shepard. In 
Dedicatory Overture Williams makes use of the Evansville College 
alma mater hymn contrasted with his own original material.

Composer Clifton Taylor is the Associate Director of Bands at 
Mississippi State University, where he co-directs the Famous 
Maroon Band, conducts the Symphonic Band and Jazz 
Ensembles, and teaches courses in the Department of Music. 
A native of Mississippi, he holds two music education degrees 
from the University of Southern Mississippi, and a DMA in wind 
conducting from the University of South Carolina. A veteran 
teacher, Dr. Taylor has taught instrumental music at every level, 
from the elementary school to the community college, and 
currently directs a band program for home-schooled students 
in his community. He is regularly engaged in composing and 
arranging for concert band, marching band, and other media, 
and maintains a steady schedule as a performing trombonist.
This setting of The Lark in the Clear Air was written for the 
Mississippi State University Wind Ensemble and their conductor Elva 
Kaye Lance, for their May 2008 concert tour of Ireland and England. 
The melody is the traditional Irish folk tune “Caisleán U, Néill.” It 
was collected by Lady Ferguson in the west of Ireland and appears 
in the book A Song for Ireland by Mary O’Hara. The associated 
lyrics are attributed to Sir Samuel Ferguson of Belfast, circa 1850.
Dear thoughts are in my mind
And my soul soars enchanted,
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day.
For a tender beaming smile
To my hope has been granted,
And tomorrow she shall hear
All my fond heart would say.

Children’s Folksong Suite is based on five Hungarian folk melodies 
with a simple, child-like character that have been culled from 
sources published between 1813 and 1896. The five melodies 
are also found in a collection of Hungarian and Slovakian folk 
songs in Béla Bartók’s piano collection entitled For Children. 
As with Bartók’s Mikrokosmos and his Forty-Four Violin Duets, 
For Children is an expression of Bartók’s interest in composing 
accessible works for young musicians that introduces them to 
contemporary harmonic resources rarely encountered at the 
beginning level. Similarly, the five folk melodies set in Children’s 
Folksong Suite have been completely re-harmonized and, in 
some instances, expanded. Although not bound by common-
practice theoretical expectations, the suite preserves each 
piece’s unique, child-like character. Children’s Folksong Suite is 
dedicated to Dr. Danh Pham, who commissioned the work.

José Padilla received his musical training at the Madrid 
Conservatory and in Italy. He became immersed in Madrid theatre 
life and produced the first of his many zarzuelas, La Mala hembra, 
in 1906. He produced several one-act reviews and an opera 
(La Faraona). Spending time in Paris, he wrote two operettas 
and many of his songs were incorporated into reviews at the 
Moulin Rouge, including El Relicario, La Violetera, and Valencia. 
His song, My Spanish Rose, was incorporated into Jerome 
Kern’s score for “The Night Boat” produced on Broadway.
El Relicario is a paso doble, a Spanish dance popular in the 
1920s that translates to “two-step.” A paso doble was typically 
played at bullfights at the entrance of the matadors. El Relicario 
was written in 1918 and made popular by Rudolph Valentino. 
The title denotes a reliquary or shrine. In this case, it is a locket 
worn by an acclaimed matador in Madrid. Inside that locket is a 
small piece of his cape that he placed on the ground to protect 
the path of a beautiful, dark-haired maiden. The lyrics relate 
the fateful day that she attends a bullfight where the Matador 
if mortally gored. As she rushes to his side, he takes the locket 
from his chest and repeats his devotion as his final words.

Chinese composer, Li Chan, was born in 1981. She graduated 
from the composition department of the Central Conservatory 
of Music in 2006 and now performs with the Military Band of 
the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Recent works by Chan 
include Moon at the Fortified Pass (for Brass Quintet and 
Symphonic Band), Little Hands Turn Cold (based on the Nanking 
Massacre), and Folksong of Midu, which was one of three prize 
winners’ in the 2017 WASBE composition competition.
Based on a traditional folk song that evokes the beauty of Southwest 
China, Folksong of Midu, transforms the original material through 
several variations before an exciting and energetic climax.

Va, pensiero
Go, thought, on wings of gold,
Go rest yourself on slopes, on hills,
These perfumed ones,  
warm and soft,
The sweet breezes  
of the native land.
 
Greet the banks of the Jordan river,
And Zion’s toppled towers.
O my homeland, so lovely and lost,
O memory so dear and fatal!
 
Harp of gold of fateful seers,
Why do you hang silent 
on the willow tree?
The memories in the  
breast rekindle,
The To us speak of the  
time that was!
 
Or, like the fateful Solomon
Bring forth a sound of  
cruel lamentation,
Or may the Lord  
inspire in you a harmony
Which instills virtue  
in your suffering.

Thou art beautiful, O my love,
sweet and comely as Jerusalem,
terrible as an army set in array.
Turn away thy eyes from me,
for they have made me flee away. 
Wie lieblich sind  
deine Wohnungen
How lovely is your dwelling place,  
O Lord Almighty!
My soul yearns, even faints,  
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart exults in the living God.
Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow shelter  
from the storm.
I find a place near your altar, O Lord 
Almighty, my King and my God.
Blessed are those who dwell in your 
house; they are ever praising you.
The Lord loves mercy and truth,
and to those who walk blameless,
he gives grace and splendour.
Vivos Voco
I call the living!
I cry for the dying,
I wail for the dead,
I console the living.
I disperse the winds,
I drive away the overcast of the sky.
All shall be well, and all manner of 
thing shall be well.
Un Canadien errant
A Canadian banished  
from his homeland
Wandered in tears  
through foreign lands.
 
One day, sad and reflective,  
sitting beside the river,
He watched the stream rush by  
and said these words:
 
“If you see my homeland,  
my sad homeland,
Say to my friends that  
I will remember them.
 
O days full of happiness you are gone,
And my homeland,  
alas I will never see again.
 
No, while dying, O my dear Canada,
My fading thought will be of you.”
Salmo 150
Praise the Lord in his sacred places,
praise him in the firmament  
of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts,
praise him according to  
his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound  
of the trumpet,
praise him with the psaltery  
and the harp.
Praise him with the timbrel  
and the dance,
praise him with strings and pipes.
Praise him with high-sounding  
cymbals,
praise him with cymbals of joy.
Let everything that has breath  
praise the Lord!
Lux Aeterna
Let eternal light shine on them, Lord,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because You are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because you are merciful.
Spasenie sodelal
Salvation is created in the midst of 
the earth, O God. Alleluia, alleluia, 
alleluia.
Dulaman
“O gentle daughter,  
here come the wooing men”.
“O gentle mother,  
put the wheels in motion for me”.
Seaweed of the yellow peaks,  
Gaelic seaweed.
Seaweed of the ocean,  
Gaelic seaweed
I would go to the tailor  
with the Gaelic seaweed
“I would buy expensive shoes,”  
said the Gaelic seaweed.
The Gaelic seaweed  
has beautiful black shoes
The Gaelic seaweed  
has a beret and trousers.
“O gentle daughter, 
here come the wooing men”.
“O gentle mother,  
put the wheels in motion for me”.
There is a yellow gold head on  
the Gaelic seaweed.
There are two blunt ears  
on the stately seaweed.
The Conversion of Saul
Murder, harass,  
bind into chains! Saul!
Chain, prosecute and harass!
