Snider’s ‘Something
for the Dark’ at DSO
By DAYTON HARE
Daily Arts Writer
If you look at any genre of
music, you are almost certain to
find that it has been informed
and
influ-
enced
by
at
least one other
genre.
When
musicians find
a sound which
is
attractive
to them, they
imitate
and
adapt it into
their
own
work, a natu-
ral step in the
creative
pro-
cess.
Classi-
cal music is
no
exception
to this trend,
and
compos-
ers have been
pulling
from
outside genres
for
genera-
tions,
from
Bartók’s
use
of folk song
to Gershwin’s
synthesis
of
jazz to Piazzolla’s jazzy tango
infusion.
In the present day, bor-
ders between genres seem to
be breaking down ever more
quickly. One of the most excit-
ing genre-blending composi-
tional voices at work today is
that of Sarah Kirkland Snider,
whose piece, “Something for
the Dark,” premiered Thursday
night with the Detroit Sympho-
ny Orchestra, and will again be
performed on Friday and Satur-
day.
“As a kid, I was very inter-
ested in music,” Snider said in
an interview with The Michi-
gan Daily. “I came from a non-
musical family — we didn’t have
any instruments at home or
anything, so I would go around
the neighborhood in Princeton,
which is where I grew up, and
knock on the doors of neighbors
and play their pianos by ear.”
Eventually Snider’s grand-
parents provided her family
with a piano, and she began to
study piano, cello, voice and a
little bit of classical guitar. A
few years later, around the age
of ten, she also began to com-
pose, a path which has led her
to become a prominent com-
poser in what some have termed
indie-classical music.
“I had always made stuff
up, but I had never written it
down,” Snider said. “But I didn’t
show the music to anyone until
my senior year of high school,
when my guidance counselor
said I needed to do that for col-
lege applications.”
Though she used her music as
part of her college application
process — which ultimately led
to her receiving an undergradu-
ate degree from Wesleyan Uni-
versity — Snider didn’t formally
study composition until much
later.
“I didn’t actually receive my
first composition lesson until I
was 25,” Snider said. “It took me
a few years after college to real-
ize that I needed to do composi-
tion full time in order to really
be happy.”
Snider further pursued her
musical studies at Yale Uni-
versity, where she received her
master’s degree and an artist’s
diploma. “Something for the
Dark” originates from a com-
petition hosted by the Detroit
Symphony
Orchestra,
the
Elaine
Lebenbom
Memorial
Award for Female Composers.
“I kind of applied for it on
a whim. It was, like, the day
before the deadline,” Snider
said. “I didn’t think that any-
thing would come of it, so it was
a wonderful surprise to have
this opportunity.”
Snider began writing the
piece with a specific emotional
idea in mind, though the work
ultimately changed direction
during the compositional pro-
cess.
“I decided early on, when I
was thinking about writing this
piece, that I would try to have
it somehow loosely musing on
the idea of hope,” Snider said. “I
usually need to start with some
sort of emotional impetus when
I’m thinking about writing a
piece.”
Snider also wanted “Some-
thing for the Dark” to pertain in
some way to the city of Detroit,
because the commision was for
the city’s resident orchestra.
“It sounds sort of cliché when
you’re talking about Detroit, but
it’s hard not to think about all
the struggle,” she said. “A good
friend of mine, Shara Worden —
the singer who I’d worked with
on ‘Penelope,’ the song cycle I
wrote — had moved to Detroit
a few years prior, and had told
me a lot about it … and so I was
thinking about hope, and I had
this motific idea that felt very
optimistic, and I was trying to
figure out what to do with it.”
The hopeful conception of
the piece gradually began to
take a darker turn, however,
and Snider explored several
areas into which she had not
anticipated venturing.
“As I started to write the
piece, it started to go in a dark-
er direction than I intended,”
Snider said. “I realized that this
was just the way the piece need-
ed to go, and that perhaps a nar-
rative that begins with this idea
of optimism but then explores
some darker areas is not nec-
essarily a hopeless narrative.
Maybe it’s actually a good nar-
rative, because it’s more realis-
tic and embodies the realities of
existence.”
For Snider, composition is
often based on narrative, she
said.
“I think of myself as a narra-
tive composer, and I try not to
think in terms of aesthetics,”
Snider said. “I feel like when
I catch myself thinking about
aesthetics that gets me into
trouble because it gets me into
conversations that have more
to do with dogmatic ideologi-
cal points I was taught in school
that have more to do with the
teachers who taught them to me
… I try to concentrate on telling
the most compelling musical
story I can tell.”
She noted that the creation of
this narrative, however, doesn’t
come without challenges
“Composition, for me, always
involves a lot of hair-pulling
and anxiety, and sweat and
blood and staying up all night
fretting,”
Snider
said.
“But
that’s just the way I think it will
always be for me. It’s just my
personality type.”
When asked if there was any-
thing she would like her listen-
ers to know about “Something
for the Dark,” Snider offered a
word of caution about adhering
to a composer’s extra-musical
ideas for a piece.
“Music is so abstract … I feel
like if I’ve done my job well, it
will mean something differ-
ent to every person who hears
it,” Snider said. “So I’m always
resistant to projecting too much
on to either a program note or
the description of the piece
… I get nervous about reveal-
ing that, because I don’t want
to guide a listener too much in
what to think or feel.”
She later noted in an e-mail
that a listener might find it
helpful to know of the origin of
the piece’s title, a poem called
“For Fran,” by Detroit-based
poet Philip Levine, which can
be read online at the Poetry
Foundation.

Michigan dance
groups help Flint
Performance aims
to bring long-term
awareness and aid to
city
By ALLIE SCHOLTEN
Daily Arts Writer
As efforts to aid Flint resi-
dents after the city’s water
crisis
continue
statewide,
University
of
Michigan stu-
dents are band-
ing
together
to raise funds
by
showcas-
ing the work of
dance
groups
within
the
Southeastern
Michigan com-
munity
while
also
drawing
attention
to
Flint. The event, a show called
“Tap Water for Flint,” on Sat-
urday will also host various
yoga, zumba and fitness classes
leading up to the dance perfor-
mance.
“After hearing about every-
thing that was going on with the
Flint water crisis, I was kind of
shocked to hear that there was
nothing that was really being
done throughout Michigan, let
alone on Michigan’s campus,”
said University alum Meredith
Njus, one of the organizers
of the event, said. Performers
include groups from Ann Arbor,
Detroit and Flint, including
Flint’s Tapology Youth Ensem-
ble, as well as the University’s
own RhythM Tap Ensemble,
Groove and UM Slam Poetry.
“We want to kind of build an
alliance, a relationship between
our communities and a sense
that we belong to each other,”
said Christine Convery, School
of Public Health graduate stu-
dent. “And hopefully … support
the efforts there to treat the
effects of the Flint water cri-
sis, but also the causes of it, the
underlying poverty that’s really
endemic to that area.”
The event intends to unite
Southeastern Michigan com-
munities, as well as students on
campus, in efforts to continue
aiding the Flint community
beyond initial relief efforts of
sending water, and to uplift the
image of Flint in the media, Dan
Bator said.
“There’s a lot of bad imagery
associated with the Flint water
crisis now, and so the reputa-
tion of Flint is kind of up to be
decided by people looking in
on the state,” Bator said. “We
wanted to shine more light on
the resiliency and the joy that is
going on and the passion people
have for their town and for their
region.”
By
highlighting
perform-
ers within the Flint region,
“Tap Water for Flint” intends
to bring the community to the
stage by allowing them to rep-
resent themselves, to uplift the
outlook for the city and to unite
the efforts of various groups.
“I think it’s a reminder to
both our campus community
and to the local communi-
ties just saying, ‘we’re all still
here for Flint,’” Njus said. “It’s
important to know that we keep
supporting Flint.”
“Tap Water for Flint” orga-
nizers said they have received
great support from the per-
formers as well as from local
Ann Arbor businesses that are
volunteering their efforts for
the event. Proceeds will go
to the Flint Child Health and
Development Fund, in efforts
to aid neurological and devel-
opmental issues that may occur
down the line in Flint children.
“All these Michigan groups
are showing their love for move-
ment and their passion for the
community of Flint,” Bator said.
“The crisis will come and go,
but the love and support for the
community is something that
we hope to continue to share.”
