BACKSTAGE
MEET OUR MUSICIANS BACK STAGE
LOUISE MORRISON, Second Violin Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 2007 Hometown: Dublin, Ireland
How would you explain the role of the second violin section? The seconds' role varies a lot with each piece. Sometimes we play the melody alongside the first violins, but more often we provide harmonic interest and sometimes counterpoint to the firsts. We also collaborate more often with our lowervoiced colleagues, especially the violas and cello. It's a really interesting role in the orchestra.
What are you most looking forward to performing this season? I’m really looking forward to playing with Renée Fleming, whom I consider to be the finest singer living today and with whom I've never gotten the chance to work. I'm also excited every time violinist James Ehnes comes to Nashville. Not only is James an incredible soloist, but he's also one of my family's best friends.
Which composers write the best music for the second violins? The second violin parts in Haydn’s symphonies work really well — they’re full of surprising and interesting moments. It’s always fun playing Mahler, where the second violins play a very important role in the music.
What makes the Nashville Symphony audience special? I think Nashville presents a unique variety of concerts, which appeal to nearly everyone in our community. Because of this, I see many new faces in the hall almost every night. There are also the core fans, without whose support none of this would be possible. It was almost overwhelming to see the huge number of Nashvillians who made the trip to New York last year for our Carnegie Hall performance. I don't know many other orchestras that have that level of audience dedication.
What did you do this summer while you were on break from performing with the orchestra? In July, I performed at the Crested Butte Music Festival in Colorado, where we performed The Barber of Seville with conductor David Stern, who is the son of the famous violinist Isaac Stern. In August, I participated in the Grand Teton Music Festival in Wyoming, where I had the opportunity to lead Piazzolla’s string quartet Four for Tango with members of the Pittsburgh, Alabama and Minnesota orchestras. Another highlight of Grand Teton was an all-Tchaikovsky program conducted by Donald Runnicles. What do you enjoy about being a member of the Nashville Symphony? There's nothing better than making a living playing concerts with great musicians. My colleagues in the orchestra make work fun. We're a tight-knit group who enjoy spending time with one another, even off the clock.
What do you most want people in our community to know about the Nashville Symphony? That they should try it! I have talked to countless people around town who tell me that they've been meaning to come to the Schermerhorn since it opened, but haven't quite gotten around to it. I think some people have the perception that if they come to a classical concert, they might feel out of place. Of course, everyone reading this right now knows that's not true! Newcomers should know that the Schermerhorn is not an intimidating place to experience live music. In fact, it's one of the city's most friendly and welcoming venues.

Composed: 1867; revised arrangement by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1886 First performance: October 15, 1886, in St. Petersburg in the arrangement for orchestra by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov First Nashville Symphony performance: January 17 & 18, 1966, with Music Director Willis Page Estimated length: 11 minutes
A
long with a small group of fellow maverick composers based in St. Petersburg, Modest Mussorgsky was determined to establish an authentic brand of Russian art music. As a key criterion of that authenticity, they called for independence from conventional Western models, as well as from the academicism they associated with professional conservatory training. But even among his pioneering colleagues, Modest Mussorgsky (an exact contemporary of Tchaikovsky) stands out as a remarkably innovative figure. In opposition to the idealized posturing of earlier Romanticism, which had come to seem inadequate and old-fashioned, Mussorgsky aimed for a kind of realism akin to that cultivated by such contemporaries in Russian literature as Ivan Turgenev and Fyodor Dostoevsky — a realism unafraid to shy away from the darker, uglier aspects of life. The mostly self-taught Mussorgsky developed a rough-hewn, idiosyncratic musical language capable of evoking the macabre and the grandiose alike. Night on Bald Mountain was a pivotal work in his evolution, though it remained unperformed in his lifetime. Mussorgsky completed his first version of the piece as an orchestral tone poem on St. John’s Eve (Midsummer’s Eve) in 1867 — the symbolically significant time of year evoked in the

work’s actual scenario. (The full title is sometimes given as St. John’s Night on the Bare [i.e., “treeless”] Mountain.) Mussorgsky’s colleague and one-time roommate Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov had started out as the youngest of the St. Petersburg-based circle of composers, but he went on to become an influential conservatory professor. After Mussorgsky’s premature death from alcoholism in 1881, Rimsky-Korsakov devoted himself to editing his friend’s chaos of manuscripts. In preparing the instrumentation for what has become the best-known version of Night on Bald Mountain — the version we hear on this program — Rimsky-Korsakov drew on what he called “the author’s best and coherent material” from the various projects for which this music had been recycled (including several operas, though all of them remained unperformed). One source was an unorchestrated opera score in which its demonic sounds were repurposed to depict a young peasant having a nightmare of a Witches’ Sabbath.
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R While Mussorgsky found multiple uses for this powerful music, its program remained essentially the same, centering around the legend of a Witches’ Sabbath said to take place every

ergei Prokofiev started out as a dazzling, precocious musical force. It’s not hard to imagine the resentment and envy he must have stirred up among his fellow students (not to mention professors (at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, since he was only 13 when he began his program there. He would later recall his irritating habit of keeping tabs on his classmates’ mistakes. By the time he was 20, Prokofiev was already composing with confidence, turning initially to the piano concerto format, which also displayed his formidable skills as a performer. He used his First Piano Concerto to win an esteemed competition from the Petersburg Conservatory. Though the Moscow critics panned the work —
one pronounced it “primitive and cacophonous” — Prokofiev deemed the First Concerto to be “my first more or less mature composition.” A second concerto soon followed, but its score was destroyed in the chaos of the Russian Revolution, from which Prokofiev fled in 1918, eventually landing in San Francisco. This departure from his homeland was to be a temporary “leave,” though nearly two decades would pass before the composer decided to return, a prodigal son who settled for good in Stalinist Russia — just in time to land, in Shostakovich’s colorful phrase, “like a chicken in the soup.” Prokofiev reconstructed and reintroduced the

contrasted his score’s depiction of “wicked pranks” and native Russian vitality with the reigning Western model of concert music (“Germanic profundity and routine”). As the orgy reaches a savage climax, church bells begin to toll in the distance. The arrival of dawn restores order and drives the dark spirits back into hiding. Mussorgsky added this peaceful music (which was not part of his original tone poem of 1867) to conclude the dream sequence from his operatic reworking.

Midsummer Eve on a mountaintop shorn of trees. The misbehavior includes a guest appearance by Satan himself and climaxes in an orgiastic Black Mass. Mussorgsky described the scenario as a “folk fantasy,” detailing this order of events: “(1) assembly of the witches, their chatter and gossip; (2) procession of Satan; (3) vile glorification of Satan; and (4) the Sabbath.” He depicts his music as “hot and disorderly.” Night is immediately enjoyable as a hurlyburly of spine-tingling effects.

Second Concerto in a revised form in the 1920s. In the meantime, he wrote the Third Concerto to have fresh material for his portfolio as a touring concert pianist. This piece would become the most popular of his five completed concertos for piano, and the composer himself regarded it with special fondness. During these early years abroad, Prokofiev was discovering that enhancing his image as an enfant terrible could make for good publicity, though several of his projects would be beset by ill fortune and misunderstanding from the public and critics. He initially made his way by playing gigs in the concert hall, and he even secured a major opera commission in Chicago for The Love of Three Oranges, a surreal and modernist adaptation of commedia dell’arte. But the largely hostile reactions he faced in the New World drove him in 1920 to relocate to the more experimentfriendly Paris. He returned to Chicago in late 1921 to introduce the Third Concerto, as well as to rehearse and premiere the new opera.
WHAT TO LIST E N F OR The Third Piano Concerto teems with ideas that seem spontaneous, but Prokofiev actually tailored the work from thematic material he had carefully gathered over nearly a decade, much of it while still living in Russia. He settled down to complete the score in the summer of 1921, while enjoying a highly productive period in a quiet village on the Brittany coast in France. In both its elegant formal design and its crisp articulation of details, this concerto taps into the composer’s unique slant on the “neoclassical” current of the times. Prokofiev had already begun to mine this vein in such works as his deliciously compact and tuneful First Symphony, in which he imagined the approach a “modern Haydn” would take to the genre.

The first movement opens with a slow melody that is passed from solo clarinet to orchestra. Its nostalgic flavor is effectively set up to clash with the impatiently modernist energy of the piano’s entrance — itself but a speeded-up version of the opening tune. Another theme, introduced by oboe and clarinet and accompanied by castanets, injects an ironic tone to contrast with the earlier open-hearted lyricism. Amid all the virtuoso figurations for the soloist, Prokofiev maintains an active and engaged role for the orchestra through his brilliant use of instrumental color and register. Note, for example, his use of piquant treble against the piano’s sparkling passages, which gives the concerto a signature flavor. The second movement presents a sneaky marching theme in the minor. This was one of Prokofiev’s earliest ideas for the work, and it’s characteristically mock poignant in attitude, with a touch of funhouse neoclassicism. What follows is a sequence of five variations. Rich in character, these include a brassy, jazz-inflected turn, an ethereal mediation, and a variation exuding athletic bravado before Prokofiev closes the movement with a simultaneous interplay of theme and decoration. The finale also proceeds according to the principle of well-timed contrast. The opening march tune in triple time is followed by a yearning melody that anticipates the “populist” Prokofiev of the later Soviet years. The soloist attempts to hijack the argument with a notably different idea, similar in its quizzical mockery to the first movement’s second theme, but she at last gives in to the Romantic spell, supplying her own extravagant filigree. In especially effective contrast, Prokofiev reasserts control over this emotional high pitch, reprising the first march tune with fresh gestures and bringing the concerto to a dazzling close.

O
n January 28, 1936, the official Communist newspaper Pravda carried a harshly negative “review” of the young Dmitri Shostakovich’s wildly successful new opera, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. In reality, the article was a thinly veiled attack and warning. Stalin had decided personally to attend the long-running production but left before the final act began. For reasons that remain open to interpretation, the dictator took offense at the story of a wife who commits murder, or perhaps at the expressionist edge and erotic intensity of Shostakovich’s musical setting. Whatever the case, the review-editorial, ominously headed “Chaos Instead of Music,” signaled an immediate fall from grace for the composer. At least Shostakovich was spared the fate of many other artists who were “disappeared” or sent off to the gulag. Still, it was a catastrophe that must have made the pressure of deciding what to compose to vindicate himself all but unbearable. The stakes could not have been higher when Shostakovich introduced the Fifth Symphony, which he began writing in April 1937 and completed in just three months. Perhaps the single most extraordinary aspect of the Fifth is how true to its composer’s original voice the music remains, while at the same time deliberately veering in a more

obviously “accessible” direction and making use of recognizably traditional forms. In the wake of the attack against him, Shostakovich might easily have submerged his identity in the faceless sort of pseudo-cheerful, pseudo-folk music that was favored by the Communist Party (under the catchphrase “Socialist Realism”). But what we encounter is a soundscape that is emotionally complex, alternating between the darkly lyrical and the sarcastic. These characteristics had already been present in Shostakovich’s breakthrough First Symphony from the mid1920s.
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The Fifth’s two longest movements, the first and third, paint large-scale canvases of intensely felt emotion. Epic in range, the opening movement nevertheless unfolds using an economy of material; i.e., variants on just two main ideas. The first of these is the strings’ calland-response statement of a jagged theme that hints at Baroque formality. Immediately following this is a plaintive, long-arching melody sung by the violins. Shostakovich deploys his large orchestra with the confidence of a master film director, spotlighting isolated, rueful soliloquies and cresting in Mahlerian marches. The composer also gives us touchingly fragile moments to savor,

such as the haunting dialog of flute and horn in the coda, which the Russian conductor Vladimir Spivakov once identified as a quote of Carmen’s phrase “l’Amour” from her signature Habañera in Bizet’s opera — as if, Spivakov pointed out, to ask “what love means in a Communist society, where people are supposed to love each other.” Shostakovich’s biting sarcasm spews out from the brief Scherzo. The music emerges from the lower depths, echoing the equivalent movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. This brevity introduces a note of comic relief as well, though Shostakovich’s manic writing whips the orchestra into a frenzy, teetering ever closer to a mad waltz on the brink of sanity and providing a foretaste of what is to come in the finale. The expansive Largo that follows restricts the orchestral palette — Shostakovich omits the brass — but contains the Fifth’s most radiant passages as the string choir alternates with scoring for woodwinds and harp. Shostakovich sustains an arresting long-term effect through his structural contrast of thin-asair textures with the ensemble climax toward which the Largo relentlessly builds. The finale is the Fifth Symphony’s puzzle movement. On the surface, it seems to confirm a long tradition, established by Beethoven’s Fifth, of the “serious” symphony as enacting a journey from darkness to triumph. To be sure, the first movement’s tragic minor mode and scope here give way to brassy assertions of D major victory, punctuated by tub-thumping timpani and bass drum. Wasn’t this, after all, the ending mandated by the forced joy of Socialist Realist doctrine? But all is not as it seems here. First, the proportions of the Fifth as a whole, with its long first and third movements full of pain, hardly seem to gravitate toward an “optimistic” ending. And several prominent sources close to Shostakovich — notably the cellist and conductor Mstislav Rostropovich — argued that the final pages are intentionally unconvincing. It was above all Rostropovich who caused listeners to question the standard interpretation of the finale as a victory cheer and to pay closer attention to the brutal insistence with which this “triumph” is celebrated. After its enormously successful premiere, the Fifth was smugly praised by an
24
S EPTEM B ER 2 0 1 3
apparatchik as “a Soviet artist’s creative response to just criticism” (a phrase Shostakovich was compelled to accept as the work’s subtitle). This time the critic was at least right — though with unknowing irony — about the “creative response” part. The real victory, in the end, belongs to Shostakovich. — Thomas May, the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator, is a writer and translator who covers classical and contemporary music.

ABOUT THE ARTIST CHICAGO Chicago is the first American rock band to chart Top 40 albums across six decades, and the band has been hailed as one of the “most important bands in music since the dawn of the rock and roll era” by former President Bill Clinton. Hits like “Saturday in the Park,” “If You Leave Me Now” and “25 or 6 to 4” helped define the pop music landscape of the 1970s and ’80s. Lifetime achievements for Chicago include a GRAMMY® Award, multiple American Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a Chicago street dedicated in the band’s honor, and keys to and proclamations from an impressive list of US cities. Chicago’s current lineup includes original band members Robert Lamm on keyboards
and vocals, Lee Loughnane on trumpet, James Pankow on trombone and Walt Parazaider on woodwinds, as well as Jason Scheff on bass and vocals, Tris Imboden on drums, Keith Howland on guitar, Lou Pardini on keyboards and vocals, and Wally Reyes on percussion. With the signature sound of the Chicago horns, their iconic vocalists and a few dozen classic songs, this band’s concerts are celebrations. They’re now in their 46th consecutive year of touring without missing a single concert date! Chicago is currently recording new songs. The band plans on releasing two songs at a time digitally throughout this year, eventually compiling them into a CD or some other format. Fans can see clips of works in progress on the band’s website, chicagotheband.com.

Launching the program’s second half is Franz von Suppé’s Light Cavalry Overture (1866). While the Viennese operettas in which this composer specialized have largely been forgotten, this curtain raiser has taken on a separate life in the concert hall thanks to its rousing fanfares and instrumental depiction of battle and victory. The versatility of Fleming’s interests as a singer can be gleaned from the selections that follow. “Danny Boy,” a setting of the traditional “Londonderry Air” to lyrics that were published only a century ago (timeless as they seem), is here sung in a custom arrangement made by Antonio DeFeo. Houston composer J. Todd Frazier wrote We Hold These Truths (2005) — his setting of the Declaration of Independence — to explore the role of music as “a handmaiden to the creation of this extraordinary document,” as the composer puts it. Later this became the opening moment of Frazier’s full-scale oratorio based on the life and writings of Thomas Jefferson. After the instrumental Intermezzo from Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana (a landmark of the raw, hot-blooded style that took root in Italian opera post-Verdi, to which Fleming has paid tribute in her 2010 CD Verismo) the focus remains on Italy with “Ombra di Nube” (“Shadow of Cloud”). The composer and priest Licinio Refice wrote this unforgettable standalone song in 1935, a year after his sacred opera Saint Cecilia triumphed, for the golden age soprano Claudia Muzio. Here Fleming tips her hat to the seamless continuity of singers and tradition. “My voice carries in it the generations before me, ” she writes, “generations of my family, of brilliant singers I have admired, of dear friends.” Though it’s hard to guess the context from the aria’s transcendently simple purity of line, Giacomo Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro” (“O My Beloved Father”) actually comes from a comic opera, Gianni Schicchi (1918), one of the three one-act pieces Puccini devised as part of a full-length trilogy, Il Trittico. Variations on a Shaker Melody, the bestknown section of Aaron Copland’s iconic ballet score Appalachian Spring, provides our segue into the program’s final set. Along with her spectrum of operatic roles, Fleming has also ventured outside classical music in various projects. In
SP E CI A L
hile it’s a fact that a voice begins with natural talent,” writes Renée Fleming in her engaging memoir, The Inner Voice, “any talent must be nurtured, cajoled, wrestled with, pampered, challenged, and, at every turn, examined.” Indeed, it’s through unwavering dedication to the art of singing in all its facets that Fleming, a four-time GRAMMY® winner, has developed her innate gift into one of the most remarkable musical careers on the international stage today. She has performed at such global events as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee at Buckingham Palace in 2012 and the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Also in 2008, Fleming was the first woman in the history of the Metropolitan Opera (where she made her debut in 1991 in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro) to open the company’s season with a solo showcase gala. Just two months ago, Fleming received the ultra-prestigious National Medal of the Arts from President Obama, a fitting tribute to a singer known as “the people’s diva.” The core of her artistic personality, which is evident across the range of styles and pieces she has selected for this evening’s program, is a voice whose radiance and warmth are immediately recognizable. Following Antonín Dvořák’s Carnival Overture — a concert appetizer from 1891 in which the Czech composer depicts an onlooker arriving in a new city and observing, with almost cinematic vividness, a scene of unrestrained festivity — Fleming begins with one of the bestloved works of Richard Strauss. Her own sound is intimately associated with the work of this composer. The Four Last Songs, created in 1948 (shortly before Strauss’s death), distill the serene and wistful wisdom of Strauss’s final years. They also require ultimate interpretive skills from the soloist. It’s not enough to float the long, silken, ecstatic threads of Straussian melody; the singer’s phrasing, too, must be attuned to the shadings of the words. Fleming also points to the importance of the pacing and “the quality of the orchestral playing” in shaping an audience’s experience of this cycle of songs.
SP E CI A L
fact, at an early stage she had to decide whether to devote her career to opera or jazz, and at President Obama’s 2009 Inaugural celebration she sang “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Carousel, the early Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. Fleming concludes our program with two other numbers by that quintessentially American musical partnership.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Soprano Renée Fleming captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice and compelling stage presence. Her busy concert calendar in the past year has included galas at the San Diego Opera, Providence Performing Arts Center and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, as well as appearances with the Seattle, Vancouver, San Antonio, Baltimore and Cincinnati Symphony orchestras. Her recital schedule took her to Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Geneva, London, Vienna, Hong Kong, Beijing and Taipei. Fleming began the 2012-2013 season as
Desdemona in Otello at the Metropolitan Opera, conducted by Semyon Bychkov and broadcast around the world via the Met Opera Live in HD. 2013 has taken her to Carnegie Hall and Lyric Opera of Chicago in André Previn’s A Streetcar Named Desire, playing Blanche DuBois, and in June she returned to Vienna as the Countess in Strauss’s Capriccio, conducted by Christoph Eschenbach. Fleming won her fourth GRAMMY® this year, a Best Classical Vocal Solo award for a collection of 20th-Century French music, Poèmes (Decca, 2012). Other recent DVD releases include Handel’s Rodelinda, Massenet’s Thaïs and Rossini’s Armida. In February 2012, she received the Victoire d’Honneur, the highest award conveyed by the French Victoires de la Musique. Among her numerous awards are the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, France’s Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, and honorary doctorates from Carnegie Mellon University, the Eastman School of Music and The Juilliard School. In 2010, she was named the first Creative Consultant at Lyric Opera of Chicago.

Arrangements by Gil Goldstein and Larry Baird Selections to be announced from the stage.
ABOUT THE ARTIST When Al Jarreau stands in front of a microphone and lets the music flow, he doesn’t just sing a song; he inhabits it. But it’s not only the ability to make a song his own that brings Jarreau to the heights of musical artistry. He possesses a charisma that embraces an audience within his intimate communicative orbit. These qualities require a delivery system, of course, and the attribute that joins Jarreau with greats like Crosby, Robeson, Sinatra and Cole is his extraordinary voice. One could make a case, in fact, for his vocal instrument as a combination of many legendary musical artists. I’ve heard him sing with the dark baritone timbre of Sinatra, the snappy rhythmic articulation of Cole, the cool
34
S EPTEM B ER 2 0 1 3
balladry of Crosby and the dramatic bravura of Robeson. He can also pop out percussion sounds that rival a full drum kit and simulate the sounds of horns. He can scat sing through complex chord changes and tricky rhythmic meters. All these attributes coalesce into one of the music world’s most eclectic voices, and make Al Jarreau one of the globe’s most universally popular artists. Jarreau has been honored for his rare capacity to perform in the recording studio with the same dynamic electricity he brings to his live appearances. He is only the second artist (Michael Jackson was the first) to win GRAMMY® Awards in the jazz, pop and R&B categories. Even more impressively, the awards have taken place over four decades — from the 1970s to the 2000s — a rare and impressive display of career continuity. . —Don Heckman

LEGACY SOCIETY LEAVING A LEGACY, BUILDING A FUTURE When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support. You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family. Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists. To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please visit NashvilleSymphony.org/plannedgiving, or call 615.687.6532
