WELCOME Dear friends – For our Lilly Classical Series concerts this month, the ISO is going on a musical tour through three very different regions. We begin the journey in Russia (with concerts on March 4-5), then we pass through Spain (with concerts March 10-12) and end the tour in Scandinavia (on March 18). There is nothing like the experience of a full symphony orchestra performing live, especially when we can explore the greatest music from all corners of the globe. Concerts in March also include special recognition of the young talent in our community. On March 11-12, the prestigious Honor Orchestra of America, led by Larry Livingston, performs on our stage (see page 29 for information), and the ISO’s annual Side-by-Side concert features 50 talented high school musicians on stage with their professional counterparts for a spectacular evening of music on March 16. Tickets to Side by Side are only $10 – come out and show your support of the ISO and our young musicians. For those of you who subscribe to ISO concerts, I hope you’ve renewed your subscription to our recently-announced 2016-2017 season! If you are not a subscriber yet, please consider joining us on a regular basis and take advantage of the great benefits, including pre-sale opportunities to IPL Yuletide Celebration and special events. For our Lilly Classical Series next year, Maestro Urbański has programmed another exciting mid-winter festival, “Music of the Earth”, masterworks by Stravinsky, Beethoven and Mahler, and a celebratory conclusion to the season with Carmina Burana. Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly and his team have filled the 2016-2017 Printing Partners Pops Series with the world premiere of “Classical Harmonies: The ISO and the Doo Wop Project,” and a special presentation of Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark: Film + Orchestra.

ISO PROFILE

Under the leadership of Krzysztof Urbański, one of the most acclaimed young conductors in the world, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to performing concerts of the highest artistic quality, offering accessible musical experiences for all ages, working collaboratively to create powerful, enriching arts events, and serving its community like never before—inside and outside the concert hall. A Brief History Under the baton of Ferdinand Schaefer, 60 men and women made their official debut as the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, November 2, 1930, in Caleb Mills Hall in the newly built Shortridge High School. In the decades since this debut concert, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has emerged as one of America’s top orchestras that attracts the finest musicians, guest conductors and artists from all over the world and presents quality classical, pops, family and holiday programming to hundreds of thousands of people each year. The ISO has received national and international acclaim with its radio broadcasts, tours and recordings and became the first major orchestra with a resident ensemble (Time for Three). The ISO’s home—the Hilbert Circle Theatre Built in 1916, the Circle Theatre in downtown Indianapolis was the first motion picture palace west of New York built especially for the purpose of showing feature-length photoplays. From 1916-1981, the Circle Theatre’s repertoire ranged from world premiere movie features, classical concerts and live stage shows to low-budget motion pictures and short films. The facility was transformed into an orchestra hall on October 12, 1984, when the ISO made its move from Clowes Memorial Hall to downtown Indianapolis. With a significant gift from Steve and Tomisue Hilbert in 1996, the hall was renamed the Hilbert Circle Theatre. In 2013, new seats were installed to create more accessibility and comfort for patrons, courtesy of Lilly Endowment Inc. Leadership within the ISO Maestro Krzysztof Urbański was appointed as the ISO’s seventh Music Director on October 19, 2010, and has now become a preferred and highly respected conductor among top orchestras in Europe, Asia and the United States. Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly’s approach to innovative pops programming has garnered acclaim throughout North America, where he continues to serve as the Principal Pops Conductor for four major orchestras, including Indianapolis. Concertmaster Zach De Pue is in his ninth season with the ISO and alongside his trio, Time for Three, leads the orchestra in performances and new audience development initiatives. Conductor Laureate Raymond Leppard, who successfully led the ISO for 14 years as Music Director, continues his involvement through appearances on the podium each season. The ISO in 2015-2016 In his fifth season with the ISO, Krzysztof Urbański focuses on major works by Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich and is collaborating with renowned soloists Joshua Bell, Emanuel Ax, Dejan Lazić and Garrick Ohlsson. Maestro Urbański also presents the Cosmos Music Festival, with musical themes inspired by space, and a semi-staged version of Georges Bizet’s Carmen at the close of the Hilbert Circle Theatre season. In the Printing Partners Pops Series, Maestro Jack Everly is proud to share the stage with music legend and American icon, Kenny Rogers, and the eclectic 12-piece ensemble, Pink Martini. Returning this season is the ISO’s Duke Energy 317 Series, a collection of classical concerts and programs presented in the communities of Hendricks County and Greater Greenwood. The ISO is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its youth and family development program, the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra.

MUSIC IN MY LIFE Patrick Dalton-Holmes is a native of Syracuse, New York. He began his study of the violin at age three. Dalton-Holmes earned a Bachelor of Music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied with William Preucil, and a Master of Music degree from the University of Michigan, where he was a student of Paul Kantor. He previously played in Florida with the New World Symphony Orchestra and as a substitute musician with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Away from music, Patrick enjoys golf, rooting for the Boston Red Sox and “if I feel like using my brain, anything including math, science and philosophy.” Patrick joined the ISO in 2006. Patrick Dalton-Holmes, ISO Violinist

Who inspired you to play violin? I attended many classical music concerts growing up, which I quickly showed interest in. My mother’s family, especially my grandfather, was very passionate about classical music and insisted I begin lessons at a very young age. What is your favorite memory from practicing at a young age? I remember going to Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony. My mother made me practice every day, so I had to bring my violin. I was the youngest person ever to practice at Tanglewood, and I remember it being so monumental. I even had some musicians wave to me, which was exciting at such a young age. Who is your favorite composer? This always seems to change. Ultimately, I always come back to Mozart and Beethoven. Lately, I’ve also been getting into Schumann and Ravel. There are so many good pieces and they are all so different, so it truly depends on my mood and what else is happening in my life. You’ve traveled a lot in your career. Which places stand out to you? Internationally, I was able to travel to Spain, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Spain was by far my favorite because of the food and culture. The Spanish really know how to live, enjoy life, and relax. What do you enjoy most about living in Indianapolis? I’ve lived downtown for most of my time here, which has given me the opportunity to watch the city transform. There certainly has been a lot of development, some of it is unrecognizable. Indianapolis is making a strong effort to present itself on a bigger stage. That, and the delicious food, are what I enjoy most. As long as there is delicious food, I’m happy! How is your life better with live music? Live music provides a new element of excitement and connection that is incomparable. It is a huge collaboration with many people involved, all working towards a similar goal. As musicians, we feed off of the audience; their excitment, reactions and energy. Each performance is different every single time—that’s truly how it’s meant to be experienced.

KRZYSZTOF URBAŃSKI, Conductor Provence with Thomas Hampson. He also continues as Principal Guest Conductor of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra.

“That he is no mere flashy wunderkind of the baton was shown by the freshly invigorated playing he drew from the CSO …his keen musical instincts and vigorous way of translating his ideas into orchestral sound that has both shape and meaning” (Chicago Tribune), Krzysztof Urbański enters the fifth season of his highly acclaimed tenure as Music Director of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. As Chief Conductor and Artistic Leader of Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, highlights of his five years with the orchestra include two tours (first with concerts in Germany, Austria and Poland and second at the International Chopin Music Festival), and a fully staged production of Carmen as his first foray into opera, which this season he conducts with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. In September 2015, Urbański formally became Principal Guest Conductor of NDR Sinfonieorchester Hamburg and this season he takes them to the Beethoven Easter Festival in Warsaw, Wroclaw, Katowice and Aix-en-

Following a hugely successful debut with the Münchner Philharmoniker in July 2015, when he conducted Carmina Burana before a capacity crowd of 8,000, Urbański returns to the orchestra in 2015/16 for Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra. His 2014 -15 season culminated with him receiving the prestigious Leonard Bernstein Award when he returned to conduct the Schleswig-Holstein Akademie at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival. Notably, he is the first conductor to have ever received the award. In 2015-16 Urbański will conduct the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich. Other recent debuts include Berliner Philharmoniker and Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. Engagements further ahead include Netherlands Radio Orchestra, returning to the London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra and Wiener Symphoniker for the annual Beethoven Symphony No. 9 New Year’s concerts. In North America, Urbański debuts with the San Francisco Symphony and The Cleveland Orchestra as well as returning to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic and Washington’s National Symphony Orchestra. Other recent U.S. debuts have included the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony orchestras.

PHILIPPE BIANCONI, Piano French pianist Philippe Bianconi has been described as an artist whose playing is “always close to the soul of the music, filling the space with poetry and life” (Washington Post), “an extraordinary exhibition of musicianship, technical control and good taste which lent the music a freshness, immediacy and conviction one all too seldom encounters” (The London Times). After winning the Silver Medal in the Seventh Van Cliburn International Competition, Bianconi made an acclaimed recital debut at Carnegie Hall in 1987 and, since then, has enthralled audiences and critics throughout the world. Philippe Bianconi has appeared with North America’s finest orchestras, including those of Cleveland, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Saint-Louis, Atlanta, Dallas, Minnesota, Buffalo, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec City, and at the Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony under James Conlon. He has collaborated with such distinguished conductors as Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Kurt Masur, David Zinman, JoAnn Falletta, Marek Janowski, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Edo de Waart, and Yoav Talmi. In Europe, Bianconi has appeared with many orchestras, including his special performance of Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto with James Conlon and the Orchestre de l’Opéra de Paris, and with the Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de Paris, Berlin Radio Symphony, Netherlands Philharmonic, Warsaw Philharmonic, Prague Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo, Orchester der Beethovenhalle in

Bonn, Orchestre du Capitole de Toulouse, and Strasbourg Philharmonic. He has performed a number of times in Australia, performing with the Melbourne Symphony, West Australian Symphony in Perth. Philippe Bianconi has recorded the complete solo works of Ravel, and solo albums of Schumann and Schubert on the Lyrinx label. His new album of Debussy piano music was recently released on Lyrinx. His other recordings include the Brahms Violin Sonatas with Tedi Papavrami on Aeon label, works of Shostakovitch and Prokofiev with cellist Gary Hoffman on Le Chant du Monde label, and the three Schubert lieder cycles with Hermann Prey on Denon. Philippe Bianconi attended the Conservatory in Nice where he studied with Simone Delbert-Fevrier. In Paris, he studied with Gaby Casadesus and in Freiburg-in-Breisgau with Vitalij Margulis. He was the first prize winner of both the Casadesus International Competition in Cleveland and the “Jeunesse Musicales” International Competition in Belgrade, as well as the Silver Medal of the Seventh Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in Fort Worth. Philippe Bianconi is the new director of the American Conservatory, located in the Palais de Fontainebleau. Founded in 1921 to introduce the best American music students to the French musical tradition of teaching, composing and performing, it has included on its faculty the most prestigious names: Maurice Ravel, Marcel Dupré, Robert, Gaby and Jean Casadesus, Jean Francaix, Henri Dutilleux, Betsy Jolas, Leonard Bernstein... From the first, Nadia Boulanger devoted her talent, energy, knowledge, and influence to the American Conservatory of which she was Director from 1949 to 1979.

NOTES

By Marianne Williams Tobias The Marianne Williams Tobias Program Note Annotator Chair Concerto No. 2 in C Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 18 Sergei Rachmaninoff Born April 1, 1873 in Oneg, Russia Died March 28, 1943 in Beverly Hills, California “Melody is music and the foundation of all music. I do not appreciate composers who abandon melody and harmony for an orgy of noises and dissonances,” Rachmaninoff asserted. Fulfilling this credo, the composer stuffed his Second Piano Concerto with an abundance of emotional, unforgettable tunes. Audiences around the world were delighted. During one of his tours in the United States, Rachmaninoff said, “These Americans cannot get enough of it.” Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra was a personal as well as a musical triumph for the composer. During his lifetime Rachmaninoff was prone to depression, and Stravinsky used to speak of his “everlasting six and a half foot scowl.” Once again, for three years, between 1897 and 1900, Rachmaninoff had been in one of his deep depressions, unstable and unable to compose. It was said that Rachmaninoff could not even look at a blank piece of manuscript paper for two years. The trigger for all of this was he combined failure of a love affair and the critical disaster of his First Symphony, which had stopped him in his tracks. In his Memoirs, the composer explained, “A paralyzing apathy possessed me. I did nothing at all and found no pleasure in anything. Half my days were spent on a couch. I had given up in great despair.” Even the consoling words from the great novelist Tolstoy failed to help him. Finally, under the hypnosis treatment of Dr. Nikolai Dahl (who had recently treated his aunt, Varvara Arkadyevna Satina) he recovered sufficiently to quit excessive drinking, to regain his will and ability to write. After the treatment, Rachmaninoff recorded; “I heard

20

the same hypnotic formula repeated day after day while I lay half asleep in an armchair in Dahl’s study. ‘You will begin to write your concerto… You will work with great facility… The concerto will be of an excellent quality.’ It was always the same without interruption. Although it may sound incredible, this cure really helped me.” Appropriately, Rachmaninoff dedicated the work to his physician. On October 14, 1901, he premiered his complete Second Piano Concerto in C minor with the Moscow Philharmonic conducted by Alexander Siloti. The outcome was wild, unfettered acclaim. (A partial Moscow premiere had taken place in December of 1900, with the second and third movements.). The first movement, Moderato, opens with nine chords, stated with growing intensity from piano solo. Violins bounce from this springboard to immediately produce the first theme with collaborating piano embellishment. The soloist is brought to the forefront to introduce a yearning second theme (marked moderato, piano). Both ideas are developed in lyrical fashion, with a dapper march digression from the pianist. The recapitulation focuses largely on the second theme (sung by French horn) before a bright coda brings the movement to a close. The second movement, Adagio sostenuto, begins with muted strings. A gentle mood is evoked first by flute, followed by clarinet, and eventually in the piano singing a nocturne-like theme. A middle section offers scherzo-like drama from high woodwinds and bassoon and violas with cadenza-like participation from the soloist. The movement closes with a return to the tranquil material of the beginning.

NOTES His third movement, Allegro scherzando, offers a brilliant finale, opening with crisp, martial style writing for the piano providing a peppy refrain. This dashing mood yields to one of the most famous melodies of the entire concerto, first sung by violas and solo oboe. The melody grows to gigantic proportions; the pianist leads into a passionate development, sweeping the listener into a sensual embrace. Asafiev’s biography summarizes “[Rachmaninoff’s] music tenderly glorifies the beauty in life…the listener experiences the presence of human breathing, a vital flow of living speech, which goes from heart to heart.” And, one might add, from age to age. A calming interlude cools the development before the exciting presto. The lush viola tune re-appears, now cast in the brilliance of violins. A brief cadenza for piano moves the tonality to C major. Then, the orchestra joins in a re-affirmation of the melody in the highest instruments of the ensemble; and the concerto roars into a dazzling finish. Themes from the concerto have been extracted to become long-time favorites and the music was heard in several film scores such as Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter. Explanation for the concerto’s popularity is really quite simple. It brims with unforgettable themes and rhapsodic emotion. Emotional excess was the social norm in turn of the century Russia; melancholy was a favorite. Rachmaninoff sampled and endured many emotional states, and these were reflected in his work. “I write that which is in my heart at the time I am composing…these moods become part of my music,” he explained. The last ISO performance of Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra was in January 2012, conducted by Rossen Milanov with pianist Khatia Buniatishvili.

Symphony No. 10 in E Minor, Op. 93 Dmitri Shostakovich Born September 25, 1906 in St. Petersburg, Russia Died August 9, 1975 in Moscow, Russia “A work of pessimistic optimism.” - Statement from The Soviet Composer’s Union After the rough, oppressive hand of Stalin had cracked down on Shostakovich twice (the first in 1936, which condemned him for writing “muddle instead of music, ”and most severely in 1948) the composer stayed relatively quiet. He feared for his life, for very good reasons. His Ninth Symphony had been censured. When the juggernaut Zhdanov Purge was unleashed, the composer dutifully and wisely produced little bonbons, which would not be inoffensive to the doctrines of Soviet Realism. Thanks to this controlling artistic influence, Russia was flooded with mediocre scores “camouflaged by pompous patriotic programs and with the persistent meddling of incompetent bureaucrats in the creative process.” (Shostakovich: A Life) Andre Zhdanov was a party leader known for his brutality and commitment to “proper Soviet music” which would only be understandable and uplifting to the Soviet people. Shostakovich, speaking of the Ninth had noted, “ It is a merry little piece. Musicians will love to play it, and critics will delight in blasting it.” He was right. Stalin was furious and offended. Shostakovich explained, “I couldn’t write an apotheosis to Stalin, I simply couldn’t. But I did depict Stalin in my next symphony.” (Shostakovich: Testimony) In 1953, after hearing that Josef Stalin died on March 5, Shostakovich was elated. He had not composed in the symphonic genre since the 1948 denunciation. Renewed by the thaw and freedom, he immediately began to continue his work on his next symphony, Number Ten at his dacha at Komorovo, near Leningrad.

thought could not be totally contained in that structure. The eventual structure is more similar to a huge arch marked by the most massive climax imaginable—a true orchestral panic. The inverted motto accented by the tam-tam suspended cymbals lead a massive crescendo and clarinets scream in their high register. A recap and coda complete the movement with a single piccolo having the last word.

Now flaunting individualism, Shostakovich had a field day with his personal musical monogram, which appears at several points in this work. This monogram refers to the letters DSCH, which are represented musically as the notes D, E-flat, C and B. DSCH, is derived directly from the composer’s name in German. He had also fitted this motto into other works as a defiant voice.

NOTES it.” Six weeks later on September 17 he mentioned to her that the horn theme was the musical transcription of her name. It was based on a song from Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, titled “Das Trinklied vom Jammer der Erde” and the composer suggested, ”this might constitute an interesting topic for musicological research.” Musicologist Paul Serotsky put his mind to that idea, and concluded, “The five tones are E-A-E-D-A. Shostakovich’s code cunningly uses the C major tonic sol-fa (now using a combination of French and German note names) for the middle three letters. Making that further substitution gives you E-La-Moi-Re-A, which spells Elmira!” Strings softly tiptoe into the third movement. Two major ideas are featured: one from the composer’s name DSCH first proclaimed by the flutes, and the other theme based on the tones signifying Elmira. The two ideas converse with each other. Like lovers, the themes draw together closer and closer throughout the movement. A soft horn call summons flute and piccolo to declaim, rather hesitantly, the DSCH motto at the close. The fourth movement returns to the more public side of the composer. Its orchestration was completed on October 25, 1953. Previous to that, Shostakovish went to Leningrad and played a four-hand arrangement. “It would be great if they (the orchestra) could play it as well as we do!” the composer commented. The music begins Andante with unison strings and a quizzical, wandering oboe solo, with commentary from flute and bassoon. A riproaring Allegro follows. Woodwinds introduce a rough Russian dance (a Gopak, referencing Stalin’s Georgian homeland) appears in the strings.

MARCH 4-6

The recap recalls the introduction; a bassoon pumps out the opening theme of the allegro; and we find ourselves in a summation of previously heard ideas before the DSCH motive triumphantly seals Opus 93 in an optimistic conclusion. At first, public and critical reactions were mixed to Number Ten. “The symphony was characterized as gloomy and pessimistic; the tragedy of a lonely personality …a sensation of pain and suffering verging on hysteria.” (Orlov: Symphonies of Shostakovich, quoted in A History of Russian-Soviet Music by James Bakst) Aram Khachaturian, however, had a ringing endorsement; “This was a new step toward the affirmation of the high principles of realism in Soviet symphonic work. “ For his part, Shostakovich explained to the Union of Composers in March and April of 1954 when asked if Opus 93 had a program. “I wanted to convey human feelings and passions. Let them listen and decide for themselves,” Shostakovich said. Within a year the symphony had successful foreign premieres in New York and London. Symphony No. 10 was unstoppable. The last ISO performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10 was in May 2012, conducted by Krzysztof Urbański.

This section is stuffed with quotes from earlier material, starting with the opening six-note idea from the first movement. As its centerpiece there is a blast of the DSCH acronym from trumpet and trombone, smashing cymbals and a “huge whack on bass drum and tam-tam”(David Hurwitz Shostakovich Symphonies and Concertos).

MARCH 10-12 By Marianne Williams Tobias The Marianne Williams Tobias Program Note Annotator Chair Don Quixote: Fantastic Variations on a Theme of Knightly Character, Op. 35 Richard Strauss Born June 11, 1864 in Munich, Germany Died September 8, 1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany The great Spanish writer, Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) has sometimes been credited with writing the first modern novel when he wrote Don Quixote, Knight of the Rueful Countenance, which was published in Madrid in January 1605.

movement tone poem. At first, Strauss insisted that no explanatory notes were needed. When asked to provide a guide, the composer snapped, “Get out! You don’t need any.” Later he relented and in conjunction with Herwearth Walden wrote an analysis of Don Quixote citing no less than 53 operative motifs (themes).

The story of an old gentleman considering himself a “knight errant” leaving his home, in La Mancha, to correct the wrongs of the world captured the imagination not only of Spain but the Western world. The episodes are dramatic, fantastic, sometimes comical, and deeply symbolic. Although early readers considered the story purely comic, later readings revealed a much deeper substance in its description of sanity and insanity and the powerful role of nature in human experience. The question of what is real and what is not is a fundamental issue with humanity, and Cervantes’ work became a powerful and timeless consideration of those issues. Francis Carr suggests that Don Quixote was authored by Francis Bacon; others believe it was Cid Hamet Benengeli (an Arab historian), or Thomas Shelton, the first English translator. However, such curious theories have not withstood the litmus test of serious historical research. The genre of magical realism, seen in the works of the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Jorge Luis Borges, are examples of this concept. Most simply put; “what is real is magical, and what seems magical is real.” The tracing of realism woven with fantastic and dreamlike elements come from this tradition.

This tone poem remained dear to his heart. When the composer visited New York in October of 1921 he was asked, “What is your favorite symphonic poem?” He answered “These that show me and my opinions most clearly: Zarathustra, Quixote, and Domestica.” Many would second this special place. Ernest Newman notes the exceptional nature of the Quixote, commenting that the tone poem not only described the story but the music illustrated the psychological changes in the mind of the characters by changing the original character of the representative theme to reflect a changed mental condition. (Muted instruments denote mental confusion, for example.) “Nowhere outside the work of glorious old Bach is there such a combination in music of inexhaustible fertility of imagination,” Newman concluded.

In 1897, Richard Strauss was drawn to the literary masterpiece and wrote a tone poem, which chronicled selected experiences of the chivalric knight in a stunning single-

36

However, your enjoyment does not depend on recognizing all these states of mind or the 53 themes. You will do just fine if you are basically acquainted with three themes: Don Quixote, represented thematically by a cello and sometimes solo violin, a clarinet and tenor tuba thematically representing his loyal servant Sancho Panza, and the beautiful but imagined Dulcinea, thematically represented by an oboe. These themes are basically consistent throughout the work, easily recognizable although sometimes transformed to collaborate with the narrative. Strauss’ Don Quixote, subtitled by the

MARCH 10-12 composer, “Fantastic Variations on a Theme of Knightly Character” unfolds without pause or separation of the knight’s adventures. An early mention of Quixote’s idea emerges on April 16, 1897, when Strauss wrote in his diary “Symphonic poem, Held und Welt begins to take shape; as a satyr—opera to accompany it Don Quichotte.” Later in 1898 he wrote “Don Quixote and Heldenleben are conceived so much as immediate pendants that in particular Don Quixote is only fully and entirely comprehensible at the side of Heldenleben.” The exact datings from Strauss are that he officially began Don Quixote on October 10, 1896 and completed the score at 11:42 a.m. on December 29, 1897. It was first performed in Cologne on March 8, 1898 under Franz Wüllner. In its final form, the tone poem consists of an introduction, ten variations (selected from the knights wanderings), and an epilogue. At the time of the composition, Strauss was witnessing his mother’s mental delirium, and this painful experience was deeply significant in his comprehension and depiction of insanity. Strauss was without peer as a musical narrator, a master of orchestration and orchestral/acoustical effects. Don Quixote inspired his highest creativity and testifies both to his genius, his passion, and collaboration of those talents. The tone poem begins with an Introduction. The music presents three distinct themes revealing three sides of Don Quixote’s person. The first “in a knightly and gallant manner,” (cello) the second, his courteous style (second violins), and lastly his innocence (solo clarinet). An oboe enters depicting Dulcinea. The music continues depicting the hero’s daydreams and fantasies. Tuba and bassoon enter depicting Sancho Panza, his faithful servant. After the Introduction, the variations begin depicting the adventures. Variation I: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza begin their journeys. The three principal themes are stated. Don Quixote sees a

windmill and mistakes it for an evil giant, attacking at full force, and falling in a heap (long run in harp and solo cello). Variation II: Don Quixote confronts the bleating sheep, which are seen as a hostile army. He attacks amid chattering string tremolos and trills; shrieks from the winds brass with rapid flutter-tonguing, representing the screaming animals. The effect is an acoustic onomatopoetic marvel. Variation III: A solo viola (the servant) and solo violin converse. Finally Don Quixote prevails and the cello comes forth again as the knight envisions his world of chivalry. Variation IV: Don Quixote rushes into a religious procession of penitent pilgrims, “rescuing a maiden,” who turns out to be a statue of the Virgin Mary. He is knocked off his horse and lays senseless on the ground (low sustained note in the lower strings) and is revived by his servant. Variation V: Don Quixote reflects on his journey and his future conquests, and he dreams of a maiden to love and dramatic feats to win her, while the night, depicted by the violins, harp, and woodwinds swirl about him. A solo cello meditates on the Dulcinea theme tenderly. Variation VI: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza set off in search of the lady, Dulcinea. The servant tries to convince Don Quixote that a ratty stable girl is really the lovely Dulcinea (jocular oboe theme), but he remains only confused, convinced that an evil magician has cast a spell, and she runs away. Variation VII: This variation incorporates the now-famous wind machine off-stage as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are convinced that they must ride through the air on a flying horse. Blindfolded, each rides a toy horse for a magical flight depicted by rushing orchestral figuration, soaring with the gusts of the wind machine. A low pedalpoint D (sustained tone) anchors them to the ground.

NOTES

Variation VIII: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza are now on a boat trip, which moves along steadily and quite peacefully in a gentle barcarole until the boat capsizes. Arriving on land they beat their clothes on a rock to dry them (pizzicato chords in the strings) and they say a prayer of thanksgiving (woodwind chorale). Variation IX: Don Quixote is convinced that two monks in sight are the evil ones who are keeping Dulcinea from him. They try to explain they are doing nothing of the sort, but Don Quixote insists. He roars loudly and scares them away.

origin of the purely musical development of my feelings…nevertheless, in order that music should not lose itself in pure willfulness and wallow out of its depth, it needs certain formal restrictions, and these are provided by a program.”

Variation X: A fight ensues between a neighbor of Don Quixote disguised as the Knight of the White Moon, who tries to intercede in the madness and bring him back to his home. A fight ensues and Don Quixote is defeated. The neighbor insists that they return to their home and that he stay home for one year. In defeat, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza march slowly homeward (drum beats). On the march, Don Quixote momentarily considers the idea of becoming a shepherd.

The last ISO performance of Don Quixote was in September 2008, conducted by Mario Venzago, with cello solos by Arkady Orlovsky.

Epilogue: Don Quixote arrives home, exhausted from his journey and his theme emerges again from the cello in a pitiful cry. He is weakened and near death. Before his death he recalls his life (re-cap of the initial opening themes depicting the central character) and then dies as the solo cello descends into its lowest register playing a final sigh and gasp at the final cadence. The music of Don Quixote is realistic in its portrayals but also exists on a higher artistic level as well. “Do you know what absolute music is? I don’t! I want to be able to depict in music a glass of beer so accurately that every listener can tell whether it is a Pilsner or Kulmbacher!” Strauss once declared. But then he continued, “I am a musician first and last, for whom every program is merely the stimulus to the creation of new forms and nothing more. To me the poetic program is no more than the basis of form and the

38

Strauss’s Don Quixote is indeed representative of these viewpoints as well as a masterpiece of musical invention and narrative. From the vivid pictorial episodes to the inner mental landscapes, Strauss takes us on an incredible journey unlike any other. There are many who would concur that this was his supreme masterpiece in the tone poem genre.

El Amor Brujo Manuel de Falla Born November 23, 1876 in Cádiz, Spain Died November 14, 1946 in Alta Gracia, Argentina Manuel De Falla was one of Spain’s most influential and defining composers. He truly fulfilled Ralph Vaughn Williams’ dictum that “The composer must love the tunes of his country and they must become an integral part of him.” De Falla stuffed his works with the sounds, rhythms, folksongs, and folk-like melodies of Spain. But, he cautioned that in this process “You must go really deep so as not to make any caricature. You must go to the natural living sources, study the sounds, the rhythms, use their essence, not their externals.” He was determined that the Spanish musical voice needed a broad forum, and that his music could and would provide that. He stated, “It has been occasionally asserted that we have no traditions. But in our dance and our rhythm we possess the strongest traditions that none can obliterate. We have the ancient modes which, by virtue of their extraordinary inherent freedom, we can use as inspiration dictates.” What he said indicated not only national pride, but conviction in musical authenticity and potential.

NOTES An opportunity to do just that came when the gypsy dancer and singer, Pastora Imperio asked him to collaborate with the poet Gregorio Sierra to create a song and dance for her. The composer was engaged. He listened carefully to the songs sung by the dancer’s mother, Rosario de la Mejorana, and Sierra, who provided a story from old gypsy tales. The outcome at first was a rather small “song and dance” which grew into a chamber ballet. The ballet premiered at the Teatro Lara of Madrid on April 15, 1915. Acclaim came mainly from gypsies in the audience, not from the Spanish constituency in general. An expanded version emerging in 1927 was a far greater success, saving the music from a languishing destiny. El Amor Brujo (Love, the Sorcerer) is a balletpantomime in one act based on a story concerned with love, death, exorcism, and release. The story concerns two gypsies, the sensual Candela and the handsome Carmelo. The ghost of Candela’s first husband haunts their love affair. Candela, knowing her husband’s infidelities, entices her friend, Lucia to flirt with the ghost and distract him from her new love affair. Lucia is successful, and Candela and Carmelo proceed to have a fulfilled relationship. In the original setting El Amor Brujo has twelve parts, three using a contralto voice. Different conductors often use a horn rather than a singer, though these performances will feature Ms. Rearick. The parts are as follows: Introduction and Scene: wild, furious beginning symbolizes the rage of the jealous ghost.

MARCH 10-12

Dance of Terror: Candela recalls the terror of living with a man she did not love, who was quite cruel to her, and fears that he may return because she is not sure he is securely dead. The Magic Circle (The Fisherman’s Story): a calming interlude Ritual Fire Dance: The most famous section of the ballet. Candela dances an exorcism to rid herself of the ghost and its powers. Scene: a brief interlude with the ghost flitting about. Song of the Will-o’-the-Wisp: a song about the vanishing nature of love. Pantomime: features a marvelous cello solo, representing the gentle new lover, Carmelo. Dance of the Game of Love: the contrived flirtation scene of Candela’s former husband and Lucia. Final (The Bells of Daybreak): a celebratory conclusion. Carmelo and Candela are now free to enjoy the bliss and happiness their love has promised. El Amor Brujo and the suite derived from the ballet were stunning ambassadors to the world for the best of Spanish musical expression, freed from the grafting of extensive European influences. Its DNA is precisely Spanish. At times fiery, at times soulful, and at all times passionate, this music speaks perfectly to its home country and its identity.

At the Gypsies (The Evening): colorful music from the gypsy world, featuring an oboe solo forecasting Candela’s forthcoming song. This tune will appear throughout the ballet, emerging finally in a strong and optimistic setting. Songs of Love’s Sorrow: a sensual love song.

The last ISO performance of El Amor Brujo was in February 2005, conducted by Maximiano Valdes.

The Ghost: a muted horn represents the arrival of the dead husband.

NOTES

and incorporation of native Argentinian folk music within his works. Opus 8, written only three years after he graduated from the conservatory, was a ballet, commissioned by Lincoln Kirsten, Director of the American Ballet Caravan. Its focus was on the life of the gauchos (tough cowboys) on one of the estancias (cattle ranches) in the pampa. Ginastera mused, “Whenever I have crossed the pampa or lived in it for a time, my spirit felt itself inundated by changing impressions, now joyful now melancholy, some full of euphoria and others replete with a profound tranquility, produced by its limitless immensity and by the transformation that the countryside undergoes in the course of the day.” The ballet was not performed until 1952, but the Estancia Suite, Opus 8a (four dances extracted from the ballet score) premiered in 1943 at the Teaotro Coloacuten in Buenos Aires. It was an immediate success, and quickly gained popularity on the world stage. The four dances are: Los Trabajadores agricolas (Agricultural workers) comes from the “morning section” of the ballet, which traces the life of a gaucho through an average day. The music, inspired by the folkdance, malamba, begins with driving brass, propelling heavily accented, fast rhythms accompanied by timpani and violins. Toward the close, woodwinds dance insistently in a small episode before the malambo closes. Danza del trigo (Wheat Dance) presents a gentle interlude, featuring an opening melody performed by flute. In the central section, INDIANAPOLIS

violins soar in rhapsodic song before the opening is recalled, this time with the lush melody sung by solo violin until a soft conclusion. Los Peones de hacienda (the Cattlemen): Ginastera takes us back to the brash first dance. Again brass and timpani hold the spotlight in a syncopated dance, which maintains its aggressive nature until the close. Meters change continuously, lending ragged propulsion and excitement. Danza final (Final Dance) finds us back to the malambo now featured in a ferocious dance contest between the gauchos. As the contest develops the music becomes increasingly complex in a series of episodes, which not only gain momentum, but also become louder as the constant eighth note demands roar to a brilliant climactic ending. Should you go to Buenos Aires or other parts of Argentina, many of the great estancias have been turned into tourist ranches along with being a working ranch. You can ride across the grassy pampa (vast plains of 800,000 square miles stretching across the country), have the gauchos prepare an asado (a roast), sip traditional mate, and possibly hear gauchos singing folksongs. One of the very best is El Ombu. The last ISO performance of Four Dances from Estancia was in December 1966, conducted by Renato Pacini at Clowes Memorial Hall.

NOTES

By Marianne Williams Tobias The Marianne Williams Tobias Program Note Annotator Chair Cataclysm Daniel Temkin Born August 26, 1986 in Houston, Texas Daniel Temkin is one the most promising new American composers. His musical training has been outstanding: Rutgers University, New England Conservatory, the Curtis Institute of Music, Le Conservatoire Americain de Fontainebleau, and he is currently completing his doctorate at the University of Southern California. His main interest as a performer has been as a percussionist. He credits this experience with his love of musical color and rhythmic inflections, which began at a young age. He played percussion in school bands starting at age 11; by age 12, he was playing in rock bands. However, when he played in a Youth Orchestra performing the Finale of Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony as a percussionist, he was overwhelmed with “a moment of excitement… I discovered on that day that sound, ringing out with kinetic energy could be alive.” He was especially intrigued with resonance: the experience of a sound continuing after it has been played. “ My hunger for orchestral music grew as I began regularly attending the Philadelphia Orchestra concerts and spending my summers performing at the Aspen Music Festival. “ As a composer, he has been fascinated about the concept of resonance, and how this can be maximized and influential in his orchestration. As years have passed, he has reflected that for him resonance was a principal driving factor in music. “My musical life has always centered on resonance and on the specific goal of making sound come alive with a palpable ‘ring to it’.. no matter which stylistic turns my own music may take in the coming years, resonance will always reign supreme.” Mr. Temkin has graciously submitted the following notes for this concert: “Cataclysm was written in 2013-14 for the St.

54

Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic, and it was premiered in Glinka Hall, St. Petersburg. Although designed to work as a stand alone piece, it is also the final movement of my larger suite From Distant Dreams (201314), which received its premiere with the USC Thornton Symphony in October 2014. Both Cataclysm and the larger suite try to engage ideas of dream states and surrealism. I can’t speak for everyone else, but when I dream, disparate elements from real life and fantasy often show up side by side, and somehow I go along for the ride no matter how surprising and bizarre things get. I was interested in composing a piece which would capture this sense of juxtaposition, surprise, and murkiness (that foggy, jet-laggy, dream sense) in Cataclysm. Music, being a temporal medium, seemed an especially good way to capture the sort of ‘suspended reality’ of a dream. As for the music, I imagined the opening chords as a kind of fog that hover over the piece, both at the beginning and in the middle; meanwhile, the faster music with the murmuring strings is meant to lull us into an edgy but somewhat predictable mood, so that when the brass and percussion jump into the textures, they really shock and surprise. I didn’t have any specific models from outside disciplines, but the closest analogy I can think of is Salvador Dali paintings: his use of juxtaposition, distortion, and contrast in subject material (e.g. a giant clock in the middle of a desert) creates a bizarre and compelling melding of the familiar and the distorted/unexpected. The climax of Cataclysm happens at the end (with the bell tree ringing violently like a fire alarm bell). Here, I imagined the sort wild and spooky energy of a nightmare being channeled and harnessed into something more exciting and positive—a transformation, leading to a final, triumphant, ending.”

NOTES This is the first ISO performance of Cataclysm. Daniel Tempkin has been selected as the 2016 Marilyn K. Glick Young Composer Award Winner. Clarinet Concerto Kimmo Hakola Born July 27, 1958 in Jyväskylä, Finland Kimmo Hakola is one of Finland’s major composers, and his Clarinet Concerto is responsible for part of his worldwide acclaim. It was dedicated to his friend, the remarkable Finnish clarinetist Kari Kriikku. This concert marks the U.S. premiere of the concerto. The American journalist and music critic, Allan Kozinn noted; “his music scampers about mischievously, mixing together shapely lyricism, atonality, quirky folkishness, and an almost hedonistic approach to timbre and rhythm. And when he proves titles or character indications, he willfully subverts them… he appears to have sidestepped the centurylong debate about the merits of tonality and refused to join any philosophical or stylistic camp.” He is not iconoclastic, nor an enfant terrible, he is simply himself, loving folk music, zippy and complex rhythmic patterns, virtuosity, and Asian inflections.” This musical fingerprint can be experienced throughout his Clarinet Concerto, written in 2001. The concerto is written in four movements. The Introduzione opens with fast rhythmic pulses, and the clarinet leaps fearlessly into the tumult. Hakola’s music sounds jazzy, cool, and impudent. There is no main theme, but rather an acrobatic display of virtuosity at the highest level. The soloist plays almost nonstop throughout the movement, moving seamlessly in all registers, sometimes singing lyrically, chirping, and sometimes producing, out of the blue, “twisted wrong notes.” Orchestral accompaniment is fast, as if goading the clarinet into more and more activity. At the close, the music moves into a winsome little tune in a cadenza maintained for the most part in soft dynamics. The tempi herein change frequently and there are small pauses. Before long, however, timpani and

MARCH 18

brass enter the scene, coaxing the clarinet into a snappy conclusion. Hidden Songs opens quietly, with none of the hustle and bustle from the Introduction. At first, the soloist maintains a lyrical line over discreet accompaniment and then moves into a meditative solo. The tempo is relaxed, and rhythms are gentle. Gradually, the orchestra supports the solo line with soft pulses, but never moves to the forefront. Midway, the orchestra does gain a stronger presence in a richly orchestrated section colored by timpani and brass. In contrast, clarinet resumes its starring cantabile roll, this time supported by the harp. From time to time timpani interrupt the serenity, but never overwhelming the grace and poise of the lyricism. At the close, notice the strange notes permeating the songlike atmosphere. Allegro favara opens in a playful mood, with unexpected turns and twists in the major idea. As the soloist jostles with the tune, low parts and percussion of the orchestra respond with rhythmic infusions and deep, contrasting coloration. There are oriental inflections in the melodic line ( Mongolian effects) which add exotic spice to the solo part. Toward the conclusion, the orchestra takes the limelight with an infectious, jazzy section, responded to by the clarinet in lighthearted partnership, zipping quickly between the low and high registers. Finally, the scene ignites into fast gestures, bumped along by sustained tones in the low brass. Gradually, the music becomes increasingly chaotic, tumultuous, ragged, syncopated, and aggressive. The last movement Khasense (Yiddish for wedding) opens with a shout, and then immediately presents a rapid percussive rhythm while a sinuous line, decorated by occasional swirls, is assigned to the clarinet. A percussive element suddenly emerges in the background and the soloist gains momentum, which is echoed by violins. A set of thick chords in 6/8 stops the acceleration, and the tempo changes swiftly as the clarinet slinks slowly above the steadily reiterated chords. After a second bit of vocal noise, the

The movement grows into dramatic intensity, with occasional “silly sounds” from the soloist. At the close, we move to a final tune, which is similar to a rough version of snake charmer style, which coils into a massive frenzy until the abrupt, thumping conclusion. This is the first ISO performance of Hakola’s Clarinet Concerto. Symphony No. 4, Op. 29 (“The Inextinguishable”) Carl Nielsen Born June 9, 1865 in Norre-Lyndelse, near Odense on the Island of Fyn, Denmark Died October 3, 1931 in Copenhagen, Denmark “Music is Life, and like it, it is inextinguishable.” (Written at the top of the score by the composer) Carl Nielsen was one of Denmark’s finest twentieth century conductors and composers, notable most of all for his six symphonies. The standouts have been the Fourth and Fifth Symphonies, written against the backdrop and conclusion of World War I. The Fourth Symphony premiered in Copenhagen on February 1, 1916. The composer grew up in humble circumstances, the son of a painter and village musician on the island of Funen. Though the family had little, the children did have music. Carl was clearly talented. With the help of village sponsors (Sortelung) he was able, as a teenager, to enter the royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen, studying violin piano, and theory. He was diligent and became a violinist in the Royal Chapel, where he became acquainted with Wagner, leading to further study in Germany. It was there and then, in 1892, he began to write the first of his symphonies. Geoffrey Kuenning summarized their place in history: “Old enough to have met and been influenced by Brahms, and

58

young enough to have an influence on Dmitri Shostakovich, his music spans the boundary between Romanticism and Modernism, wearing its heart on its sleeve while pushing the boundaries of tonality and form.” Symphony Number Four gestated for two years. In 1914, he wrote to his estranged wife, Ann Marie. (Estranged because he had an affair with the nanny; they reconciled eight years later.) “I have an idea for a new composition, which has no program but will express what we understand by the spirit of life or manifestations of life, that is: everything that moves, that wants to live ... just life and motion, though varied—very varied—yet connected, and as if constantly on the move, in one big movement or stream. I must have a word or a short title to express this; that will be enough. I cannot quite explain what I want, but what I want is good.” By 1916, when he finished Opus 29, he found just the word: Inextinguishable, signifying “the elemental will to live. The composer explained “It is not a program, but only a suggestion about the right approach to the music.” Nielsen explained; “Music is Life. As soon as even a single note sounds in the air or through space, it is result of life and movement; that is why music (and the dance) is the more immediate expressions of the will to life.” The symphony evokes the most primal sources of life and the wellspring of the life-feeling; that is, what lies behind all human, animal and plant life, as we perceive or live it. It is not a musical, program-like account of the development of a life within a limited stretch of time and space, but an un-program-like dip right down to the layers of the emotional life that are still half-chaotic and wholly elementary. The symphony is not something with a thought-content, except insofar as the structuring of the various sections and the ordering of the musical material are the fruit of deliberation by the composer in the same way as when an engineer sets up dykes and

NOTES sluices for the water during a flood. It is in a way a completely thoughtless expression of what make the birds cry, the animals roar, bleat, run and fight, and humans moan, groan exult and shout without any explanation. The symphony does not describe all this, but the basic emotion that lies beneath all this. Music can do just this, it is its most profound quality, its true domain … because, by simply being itself, it has performed its task. For it is life, whereas the other arts only represent and paraphrase life. Life is indomitable and inextinguishable; the struggle, the wrestling, the generation and the wasting away go on today as yesterday, tomorrow as today, and everything returns. Once more: music is life, and like it inextinguishable. The music begins with a roar (marked attacca) from timpani and winds, joined afterwards by the strings. Two tonalities (D and E) are sounded simultaneously, adding to the distress. A three note motif introduced at the beginning becomes central to the first movement. Flutes and clarinet calm the uproar, and melt into a gentle second theme (sung by two clarinets in thirds), which will reappear in the third and finale movement. This has frequently been identified as the “will to life” theme. The stage is now set for the emotional flux which will continue throughout the work: sudden gentleness and sudden rage. “Nielsen’s sudden stylistic swings are shown through dynamics, instrumentation, tempo and tonality. Such abrupt switches can be dizzying and can pose many challenges of pacing and momentum for the conductor.” (Joan Ollsen) This lyric idea changes character: at times dance like, and also exploding into a massive climax. A turbulent development shatters the second theme into small pieces, which are ruffled and tossed about by extensive participation and commentary from violas. The storm continues into a high octane coda before quiet strings and solo timpani merge smoothly into the second movement.

MARCH 18

Quite suddenly, (marked poco adagio quasi andante) the strings change character and force, moving directly into the third section. His music remains unsettled and, timpani again appear adding somber thumps until the strings move into a soft, slowly moving hymn structure with coloration from the winds. Nielsen instructs them to play like “an eagle riding the wind.” Gradually, the mood shifts with the entrance of low brass, and the texture coils into an extensive contrapuntal development. Intensity and heaviness grow steadily, expanding to a huge climax before the movement runs out of steam, exhausted, closing over trilling violins (marked ppp) and oboe repeating notes. There is a large pause before the last section. The fourth movement, con anima, is dramatic and aggressive, featuring military style participation from dueling timpanists, placed at opposite sides of the orchestra, who are instructed by Nielsen to play “ from here to the end, maintaining a certain threatening character even when they play quietly .” Part of the terror comes from timpani playing tritones, a dissonant interval sometimes identified as “ the devil in music.” The music begins in a frenzy, continues in exuberance and brilliance which is finally de-railed by horns and winds quoting from the “life force” theme from the first movement. Surging passages swirl into the atmosphere, alternating with quiet reflections. Just as all seems serene, the timpani re-ignite into their dueling contest. As if alarmed, the orchestra re-enters into a furious passage: strings race, brass intone grand ideas over the entire orchestral force, re-iterating the life force idea. And the inextinguishable force of life and the living of it triumphs in an enormous affirmation. The last ISO performance of Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 was in April 2005, conducted by Mario Venzago.

This short allegretto is scored almost totally for winds, with light commentary from strings.
