Karl Hirzer Associate Conductor

Hélène Brunet Soprano

Karl Hirzer, a conductor and pianist from New Westminster, British Columbia, has been Resident/ Associate Conductor with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra since 2016. Active internationally, Hirzer has led performances with ensembles such as the Sczcecin Philharmonic, Symphony Nova Scotia, Regina Symphony Orchestra, Gstaad Festival Orchestra, Orchestra Senzaspine, and the Orchestra Giovanile Italiana. He works regularly with new music titans Land’s End Ensemble, most recently in collaboration with American composer John Corigliano, who said: “Mr. Hirzer brought a combination of detailed accuracy and intense musical feeling to the work [Mr. Tambourine Man], resulting in an absolutely marvelous performance.” Hirzer previously acted as Assistant Conductor for the National Academy Orchestra of Canada, and the McGill Contemporary Music Ensemble.

He was a faculty member at the 22nd Morningside Music Bridge program in Warsaw. Hirzer has performed with renowned soloists including Evelyn Glennie, Chris Botti, Agata Szymczewska, Jonathan Crow, and Owen Pallett. A trained pianist, he holds bachelor’s (University of Victoria) and master’s (McGill University) degrees in performance, as well as an Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto diploma.

Soprano Hélène Brunet is hailed by the critics as “a singer of tremendous quality.” Recognized for her interpretations of the works of Bach, Handel, and Mozart, her repertoire extends from Baroque to the 21st century. In concert, she has performed with reputed orchestras and ensembles, notably at the Tage Alter Musik Regensburg, American Bach Soloists in San Francisco, American Classical Orchestra at the Lincoln Center in New York City, the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal under the baton of Yannick NézetSéguin, Seattle Baroque Orchestra, Eugene Symphony, Pacific Baroque Festival, Calgary Philharmonic, Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Nova Scotia, Toronto’s Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, Ensemble Caprice, Arion Baroque Orchestra, and I Musici de Montréal.

In opera, Brunel was recently featured in the world premiere of Sleeping Rough by Roddy Ellias and Sandra Nicholls, at the Music and Beyond festival in Ottawa. Her debut solo album Solfeggio (ATMA Classique) recorded in collaboration with ensemble L’Harmonie des saisons, has been selected by the CBC as one of the top 20 classical albums of 2020. Other recordings include a Bach cantata album as well as the Juno Award-winning Las Ciudades de Oro. Brunet’s new album, Solfeggio, is nominated for a Juno Award at this year’s ceremony in the Classical Album of the Year (Large ensemble) category.

about the pieces The Blood Alchemist Wateraga: Matriakii of Magic Sonny-Ray Day Rider (b. 1987) The Blood Alchemist Wateraga: Matriakii of Magic is a musical work where I explore the reification and source of magic, which I think encapsulates a whole range of human, natural, and super-natural phenomenon.

It has become part of my current practice to carefully title my works with narratives that deify and anthropomorphize human emotions and relationship with spirituality and the natural world.

I used the word Blood in the title (and other works) to allude to my Blackfoot Indigenous background, as I am from the Kainai “Blood” tribe, which is one of the 4 tribes that make up the Blackfoot confederacy. I also use the word Blood in the title to refer to a life force which connects us all.

Wateraga is the name of a magic spell from a videogame series I grew up with and I use the Narrative connector Alchemist in the title to signify our complex bio-connection with water. Matriakii is a compound word derived from both the English word “matriarchy” and the Blackfoot word “akii”, which means woman.

Rückert-Lieder (Rückert Songs) Gustav Mahler (1860 to 1911) In 1901 and 1902, Mahler composed 10 songs on poems by the German author, Friedrich Rückert (1788 to 1866). Five of them make up the cycle Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) and the other five form the miscellaneous collection you will hear at this concert. This was a time of transition in his composing style. He was moving away from the warm, gentle nostalgia of the fourth symphony — a quality generally maintained in these separate Rückert songs — towards the harsher tone and leaner sounds of the fifth. He didn’t conceive them as a cycle, but when heard together their strongly contrasted natures present a satisfying variety of mood, from poignant to playful. The orchestration, which is different for each song, convincingly demonstrates Mahler’s insight into matching words with tone colours. Many scholars consider the heart-breaking Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (I have withdrawn from the world) the greatest of all his songs.

Requiem, K. 626 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 to 1791) Completion by Robert D. Levin A great deal of romantic fiction has grown up regarding the creation of this work, including a dramatically compelling but almost totally fabricated episode in Peter Shaffer’s play and film, Amadeus. In 1964, a first-hand account of its creation came to light, after years of suppression. The publication of this document, written in 1839 by Anton Herzog, Director of the Information Centre in Neustadt, a town outside Vienna, swept away the speculation and mythology that had surrounded Mozart’s Requiem. In July 1791, a stranger offered Mozart a commission for a Requiem Mass. He stated that his employer wanted the piece to console himself for the death of his wife. Mozart was to have total freedom in writing it, but he was to keep the commission a secret and not retain a copy of the music. He set to work at once. The patron in question was Count Franz von Walsegg, a wealthy aristocrat with a taste for music. His dealings with Mozart followed a pattern he had previously established with other composers: he gave them commissions for new music, then attached his own name to the results.

Mozart died on 5 December, before being able to complete the Requiem. His widow, Constanze, approached several composers to finish the score. Mozart’s assistant, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, did most of the work. Admirable as his efforts were (and his completion was the standard edition of the score for 200 years), his version contains numerous, often substantial elements that do not conform to the style that Mozart was practising at that time. The distinguished Harvard University Professor Robert D. Levin prepared the performing version (one of several that have appeared in recent decades) that you will hear at this concert. His intention, in his words, was “to observe the character, texture, voice leading, continuity, and structure of Mozart’s music. I have retained the traditional (Süssmayr) version insofar as it agrees with idiomatic Mozartean practice.”

One of his major revisions was a thinning out of the orchestration, to bring it in line with Mozart’s other religious scores and to permit the vocal soloists and chorus to be heard clearly. He reduced some of the score’s louder dynamics, and added a fugal section, on the word Amen, to form a new conclusion of the Sequenz. He also substantially rewrote the Sanctus, and restructured the Benedictus that follows it.
