MEET OUR

MUSIC DIRECTOR & CONDUCTOR Matthew Kraemer Recognized for his “musical sensitivity” and “energized sense of interpretation”, Matthew Kraemer is making his mark among young American conductors for his inspired performances and versatility. The Buffalo News notes, “He presents a tall, dignified and stately podium presence with a quite clear beat, a good sense of shaping melodic lines, and an all-business attitude that focuses on the music without any histrionics.” Kraemer was appointed Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra in 2015 and recently extended his commitment through 2023. He also serves as Music Director of the Butler County (PA) Symphony and the Marion (IN) Philharmonic. His active guest conducting schedule includes appearances with many of the nation’s finest orchestras, including the Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbus, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Nashville, North Carolina, Saint Louis, Spokane, Syracuse, and Toledo symphony orchestras, as well as Canada’s Mississauga Symphony, Niagara Symphony, and Hamilton Philharmonic and in Europe with the Vidin Philharmonic and the Orquesta de Cadaqués. Upcoming highlights include performances with Amy Porter, Orion Weiss, and the PRISM Quartet, in addition to engagements with the Arkansas, Toledo, and Virginia Symphonies, Louisiana Philharmonic, and Rochester Philharmonic.

Kraemer served as associate conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic from 2009 to 2014, where he regularly led the orchestra on each of its concert series. The BPO’s award-winning education concerts grew exponentially under his leadership, expanding to reach over 40,000 students throughout western New York. A passionate advocate for new music, he has performed the works of many living composers during his career. Kraemer served as Music Director of the Erie Chamber Orchestra (2012-2017) and associate conductor of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra (2007-2010). His performances are broadcast regularly on NPR’s Performance Today.

Recipient of the distinguished Herbert von Karajan Conducting Fellowship and the Bruno Walter Career Development Grant, Kraemer served a residency with the Vienna Philharmonic at the 2006 Salzburg Music Festival. Equally at home in the opera pit, his credits include fully-staged productions of The Magic Flute, The Barber of Seville, Madame Butterfly, La Traviata, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Happy Birthday Wanda June (world premiere), Trouble in Tahiti, and Mansfield Park (American professional premiere). He has collaborated with many leading artists, including Lang Lang, Elmar Oliveira, Awadagin Pratt, Richard Stolzman, Wu Man, Bela Fleck, Ben Folds, and Chris Botti. As a frequent collaborator with Broadway superstar Idina Menzel, he served as conductor for many of her symphony engagements nationwide.

An Indiana native, Kraemer studied conducting in Vienna, Austria with Salvador Mas Conde and was twice a fellowship conductor at the American Academy of Conducting at Aspen.

His conducting teachers include David Zinman, Robert Spano, and Jorma Panula. Kraemer is a graduate of both Butler University and the University of Nevada, where he assisted former Cincinnati Symphony concertmaster Phillip Ruder. An accomplished violinist, he was a member of the Nightingale String Quartet. When he is not performing, Kraemer enjoys

PROGRAM NOTES Overture in D Major TWV 55:D21 Georg Philipp Telemann Born 14 March 1681 in Magdeburg Died 25 June 1767 in Hamburg Composer Georg Philipp Telemann is the lesser known of the big three German composers of the late Baroque, the others being Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frederick Handel.

Telemann was older than the others by four years. He and Bach were close friends for most of Bach’s life, and he was the godfather to Bach’s second son (and noteworthy composer as well) Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach. Telemann spent most of his career in the city of Hamburg and is one of the most prolific composers in history, mostly due to the fact that he was for many years the music supervisor for the five largest churches in the city. He wrote seven operas and hundreds of cantatas, as well as a large output of instrumental works for orchestra, keyboard and soloists. One often hears complaints that his works were not always as carefully planned as they might have been due to the time constraints in which he was writing, but that was the nature of his environment. There is a famous story concerning JS Bach’s final posting at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where he worked from 1723 until his death in 1750. The cantor of the church was retiring and a selection committee was formed to choose a replacement. They picked three finalists to interview and their first choice was Telemann. When he was offered the position, he went to his employers in Hamburg and told them the news – they then offered him a large salary increase, which could well have been his goal all along. The second choice also turned them down and they deliberated quite a while before offering the position to their third choice – Bach!

The Overture in D Major was one of Telemann’s last works, composed in 1765 and dedicated to the Landgrave Louis VIII of Hessen-Darmstadt. The work’s instrumentation is 2 oboes, 1 bassoon, 2 trumpets, strings and harpsichord (or other keyboard instrument). Its duration is about twenty-one minutes.

In the news in 1765: The American colonies are burdened by the Stamp Act, which imposes taxes on many products that carry the “stamp,” and the Quartering Act, which required colonists to allow British soldiers to live in their family homes when requested. A portion of Montreal is destroyed in a fire and the first colonial chocolate factory is established in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Inventors Robert Fulton and Eli Whitney are born, and Catherine the Great issues a decree to allow a new method of producing vodka. A nine-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart writes some of his earliest works that are still performed and Christoph Gluck’s opera Il Parnasso Confuso has its premiere.

Concerto Grosso, opus 6 number 8 in g minor “Christmas Concerto” (1690?)

Arcangelo Corelli Born 17 February 1653 in Fusignano, Italy Died 8 January 1713 in Rome Archangelo Corelli is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the violin. He was a master performer, teacher and composer for the instrument. JS Bach studied

his works carefully. Tonight’s work dates from 1712, and it is one of a set of twelve pieces entitled Concerto grosso, which refers to alternation between a small group of soloists (in this case two violins and a cello) and the full ensemble. Corelli inscribed on the title page “Fatto per la notte di natale” – composed for Christmas Eve. It was commissioned by his friend and famed patron of the arts Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, who was the grand-nephew of Pope Alexander VIII. When the composer died it was Ottoboni who arranged for his burial in a grand tomb in the Pantheon, and who took financial care of his family. The Christmas Concerto was performed at Corelli’s funeral. This work is one of Corelli’s most famous pieces, and certainly the concluding Pastorale is one of his most beloved melodies. The work has been quoted in film and television, notably in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, which stars Russell Crowe as a violin playing ship’s captain.

This composition is scored for 2 solo violins, solo cello, strings and continuo. Continuo in the Baroque Era consisted of a keyboard instrument (harpsichord in this performance) and a bass instrument such as bassoon, string bass or cello. The duration is about fourteen minutes.

In the news in 1690: The Massachusetts Bay Colony issues the first paper money in North America and the clarinet is believed to have been invented in Nuremberg. Henry Purcell composes Dioclesian and The Tempest and Lully’s opera Orphee premieres in Paris. The Barclay’s is founded in London, the planet Uranus is first sighted by John Flamsteed and the last French raids on England took place.

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring from Cantata #147 (1723) Johann Sebastian Bach

Born 21 March 1685 in Eisenach

Died 28 July 1950 in Leipzig Bach accepted his final post in 1723 at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where he served as a composer, organist and Latin teacher for the students. His primary duty as a composer was for the church services, and he wrote some of his most eloquent and memorable music in these utilitarian pieces. Tonight’s selection was one of the sections of the cantata now known as #147 – its original title was Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, which translates to Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life. The cantata was first performed on 2 July 1723 on a Sunday that celebrated the Biblical visit of Mary to Elizabeth. Part of the credit to the modern popularity of this wonderful hymn tune goes to Dame Myra Hess (1890-1965), an English pianist and piano teacher, who published it in one of her books of teaching pieces. She was responsible for organizing nearly 2000 concerts in London that were performed at lunchtime, as the German bombing forced the concert halls to stay darkened at night. The piece found rejuvenated popularity in the 1960s and 1970s in the early performances by synthesizers, most notably in Walter Carlos’ landmark 1968 album Switched On Bach.

The work is scored for oboe, trumpet, strings and continuo.

In the news in 1723: Antonio Vivaldi completes his Le Quattro Stagioni (known to American audiences as The Four Seasons) in Mantua; Architect and mathematician Christopher Wren is born, as are composer Carl Friedrich Abel and Economist Adam Smith.

PROGRAM NOTES CONTINUED Winter from “The Four Seasons” opus 4 #4 (1723) Antonio Vivaldi

Born 4 March 1678 in Venice

Died 27 July 1741 in Vienna Antonio Vivaldi is the undisputed champion in terms of writing concertos. He is credited with as many as 600 for a wide variety of instruments, including mandolin, harpsichord, lute, recorder and ottavino (piccolo). The majority of his concertos featured violin, cello, oboe or bassoon. Most of Vivaldi’s career was spent in Venice. His nickname was “The Red Priest,” as he was ordained and had red hair. Interestingly, there is an ensemble today known by that name that specializes in performances of baroque music mixed with modern sounds. He was charged with music for the Ospedale della Pieta for many years.

This was an orphanage and school for girls for which he wrote some of his greatest choral works. Vivaldi was also a composer of operas. His life ended in a most tragic way, as he travelled to Vienna because he knew it was becoming an important musical center. He never really made significant connections and lived in poverty. Vivaldi died in Vienna and was buried in a poorly marked grave in a churchyard. The church was torn down and the cemetery was not relocated, so the exact spot of grave is unknown. His circumstance is similar to that of Mozart, although Mozart has two significant memorials in different Vienna cemeteries. Tonight we will hear the final of the four violin concertos in the set known as the Four Seasons – Winter. It features several sonic effects that remind us of the ice and snow.

The concerto is scored for strings and solo violin, and the duration is about seven minutes.

In the news in 1723: Johann Sebastian Bach begins the final position of his career with the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig; Crispus Attucks, an African-American patriot who was one of the first casualties of the Revolutionary War, is believed to have been born. A famous Indianapolis high school is named in his honor.

Noels pour les instruments H. 531 & 534 (1689) Marc-Antione Charpentier

Born 1643 in Paris

Died 24 February 1704 in Paris Marc-Antione Charpentier was a prolific composer in a wide variety of music. He wrote a vast amount of sacred vocal music, including motets, hymns, psalms and mass settings. He traveled to Rome as a young man for about three years to study with composer Giacomo Carissimi, and became well versed in Catholic sacred music. His most important patron in Paris was Marie de Lorraine, the Duchesse de Guise, who lived in a modern Parisian estate known as the Hotel de Guise. Carpentier was well suited for this position as the Duchesse frequently entertained guests from Italy. He wrote musical scores for several of Moliere’s plays and also wrote music for the son of Louis XIV, the Dauphin prince. Follow-

ing the death of the Duchesse, he worked as a Jesuit musician and composer. Late in his life he became the Music Director for the Sainte-Chapelle. Joshua Kosman, music critic for the San Francisco Examiner described tonight’s work: “Noels are marvels of musical invention – soulful, expressive, rich in melodic design. The Nativity is sketched in lightly, with emphasis on shepherds and angels, but the fluency and vividness of Charpentier’s writing is the main selling point here.”

Noels is scored for 2 flutes, bassoon, strings and continuo and its duration is about seventeen minutes.

In the news in 1689: William and Mary are proclaimed co-rulers of England, Scotland and Ireland; there is a war between English and French colonists in America – both sides have support from Native American tribes. Alexander VIII becomes the 241st Pope.
