Greetings JULIE SORENSEN, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR/CONDUCTOR Good evening! And welcome to the first virtual concert of our 2020-2021 season, Metamorphosis! What better way to describe the changes we all have had to endure in these past few months. Though the challenges we face with COVID-19 have been many, we at the symphony are working tirelessly to find new opportunities to continue to bring music to our wonderful community. Change is often difficult, and yet it is also necessary, and I am proud that we have risen to the challenge. Classical music, as well as the orchestra itself, has changed throughout history and this season we will take the opportunity perform works from these eras of great change. Tonight we begin with the Baroque era, which is typically defined as the years spanning 1600–1750. This era of such giants like Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi brought with it music of elegance and contrast. You can listen for this contrast in the dynamics of loud and soft, soloists versus the full group, and moments of musical simplicity and complexity. I hope you enjoy this evening’s performance. I miss seeing you and connecting with you in our magnificent concert hall and it is my sincere hope that we will be able to gather together once again soon. Until that time however, I am grateful that we have found a way to bring live music back into our community and now directly into your homes. I am excited to open the doors to our virtual concert hall and invite everyone to attend! I am thankful for our donors and sponsors who recognize the importance of the symphony and continue to support us through these uncertain times. I thank the board for their trust in me and their work to bring this new vision to life. And I am not only grateful but humbled by our wonderful musicians who have been so willing to work in conditions that are new and difficult. And I thank you, our symphony friends, for joining us for this historic evening. I invite you to join us for our next virtual concert as we all come together to keep the symphony spirit alive! Sincerely, Julie Sorensen – Artistic Director/Conductor ISCS
RON R. BOLINGER, BOARD PRESIDENT May I take this opportunity to welcome all of you, our dedicated and loyal patrons of the Idaho State-Civic Symphony, to the 2020-2021 season. As we all know, the Covid-19 environment has altered so many aspects of our lives and bringing music to all of you is no exception. The safety of our audience, musicians, and symphony staff is always our primary consideration. As a Board of Directors, we determined that we are going to do everything possible to bring you the rich tradition of music from the talented musicians of the ISCS, even in these unusual circumstances. Therefore, through the efforts and combined talents of our dedicated musicians, our wonderful Maestra/Conductor, Dr. Julie Sorenson, our Executive Director Heather Clarke, John Young from ISU’s Department of Communication, Media, and Persuasion, Bill Stanton and his staff at the Stephens Performing Arts Center, and the Idaho State-Civic Symphony Board of Directors, we are proud to continue this tradition. We would like to thank all of you for joining us in this effort. We appreciate all of the well wishes and especially offer our thanks to our season and concert sponsors for their continuing support to this, your Symphony. Because we are not able to present in-person concerts, your donations and sponsorships have been our life blood that enables us to keep the music alive. We feel especially grateful and proud to be a part of this amazing community, because whereas many symphonies throughout other parts of the country have had to close their doors, your donations, sponsorships, and encouragement will enable us to continue to offer beautiful music that brings enjoyment and connects us for as long as we can. As you can see, Dr. Sorenson has prepared an excellent program for this first half of the season through virtual concerts. We will keep you informed what the second half of the season will be at a later time. We look forward to the time when we can once again greet you in person and gather together in the Jensen Hall. Sincerely, Dr. Ron Bolinger, Ed.D. – President of the Board, Idaho State-Civic Symphony —

Program Notes BRANDENBURG CONCERTO NO. 5 IN D MAJOR Johann Sebastian Bach Born March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Germany; Died July 28, 1750, in Leipzig, Germany The premiere date for this work is unknown. It is scored for a solo group of flute, harpsichord, and violin, and an ensemble of violin, viola, violone (usually performed on cello), along with basso continuo. In 1717 Johann Sebastian Bach accepted the position of court music director in Cöthen. It was here that his wife, Maria Barbara, died unexpectedly in July of 1720, while Bach was out of town on business. He married again sometime before the summer of 1722, this time to the daughter of the court trumpeter of the town of Zeiss. His new wife, Anna Magdalena Wilke, was a gifted singer whose voice Bach must have known. During his years in Cöthen, Bach composed many instrumental works, often showing the influence of various Italian composers in whom he had taken interest – among them Vivaldi, Corelli, and Albinoni. Dedicated to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg, to whom they were sent in hopes of a possible position in Berlin, the six Brandenburg Concertos date from between 1718 and 1721 when Bach was working in Cöthen. The term concerto refers here to the concerto grosso – a work for a small group of soloists (called the concertino) pitted against a larger ensemble of instruments (called the ripieno or tutti) – as opposed to the solo concerto. Concerti grossi usually have a clear-cut division between the groups, as in Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 1, 2, and 4. However, the other three have two more evenly-matched groups. The fifth of these works is especially unique in that Bach scored it for a solo group of flute, violin, and harpsichord – the last likely with his own abilities in mind. Bach’s writing provides clear textures, and each instrument is given lines that are as much a delight to play as they are to hear. Interestingly, the harpsichord in the concertino group is the lead instrument during a time when orchestral use of keyboard instruments was usually in a supporting role. Bach’s first movement (Allegro) relies on a tried and true technique called ritornello form. Similar to the Classical rondo some fifty years later, this form uses a returning section (simply called the ritornello) to separate entrances of the solo group. In this way, Bach clearly punctuates the stunning solos from the ensemble sections, providing formal clarity in the absence of the usual larger orchestral group. The most important aspect of the first movement is the extended harpsichord cadenza. This showpiece reveals Bach’s astounding expertise at every virtuoso device known during his day. It was probably composed in celebration of the city of Cöthen’s purchase of a new harpsichord in 1719. The second movement (Affettuoso) is written for just the concertino group. Built upon a theme by French organist Louis Marchand, this short movement is a peaceful valley between the two mountainous outer movements. The final Allegro is in the lively Italian guise of a gigue, filled with scales and runs, while using the solo group to full advantage.
FROM HOLBERG’S TIME: SUITE IN THE OLDEN STYLE Edvard Grieg Born June 15, 1843, in Bergen, Norway; Died September 4, 1907, in Bergen, Norway This work was premiered in December of 1884. It is scored for string orchestra. Edvard Grieg was a student of the great Germanic tradition of composition and studied in Leipzig. The Norwegian nationalist received the best training possible, basing even his student works on Norwegian folk music and national tales. After graduation, he returned home and founded the Norwegian Academy of Music in 1867 at the age of twenty-four. His government, as a token of appreciation, bestowed upon him an annual stipend seven years later, removing his financial woes and allowing him to compose full-time. —

Grieg preferred composing in smaller forms – art song, piano pieces, and chamber music – but his efforts also produced large choral works. There was also an opera, Olav Trygvason, but Grieg abandoned the project. Grieg’s first major success was in 1869 with his Piano Concerto. The work became internationallyrecognizable, and the Norwegian composer’s popularity was universal. In 1884 the city of Bergen planned to celebrate the bicentennial of the birth of Ludvig Holberg, a great Norwegian writer who was born there. Grieg was asked to compose the music for the festival and, bolstered by his love of all things Norwegian, he accepted the offer. In short order, a cantata and a piano suite were presented to the city. The suite, entitled “From Holberg’s Time,” was composed using rhythms and musical textures from the early seventeenth century and is subtitled “Suite in the Olden Style.” Grieg’s music was very well-received by audiences and critics. Not long afterward, he created a version for string orchestra. A lively Praeludium opens the work and gives way to a stately Sarabande. A wellmannered Gavotte leads to a tuneful Air. A festive Rigaudon brings the piece to an appropriate conclusion.
CONCERTO IN G MINOR FOR TWO CELLOS Antonio Vivaldi Born March 4, 1678, in Venice, Italy; Died July 28, 1741, in Vienna, Austria Although the exact date of this work’s premiere is unknown, most scholars assume that it was first performed by the young ladies of Venice’s Pio Ospedale Della Pietà sometime during Vivaldi’s tenure there. It is scored for two solo cellos, strings and basso continuo (consisting of harpsichord and a bass instrument, usually bassoon, cello, or bass). Today it is nearly impossible to imagine that, just over fifty years ago, the name of Antonio Vivaldi would not have been recognized – even among music scholars. It was largely through scholars studying the music of J. S. Bach that Vivaldi’s works came to light. Bach admired the Venetian composer’s work, especially his concerti, and copied several of them for study. Reproducing a musical score in the early eighteenth century was a painstaking process involving weeks of hand-copying every staff, note, and other music symbols. The fact that Bach exerted the effort to do so speaks highly of the German master’s esteem for the elder Vivaldi’s craftsmanship. It also speaks volumes as to Vivaldi’s fame outside of his home city of Venice. It was the partnership between the Venetian orphanage, Pio Ospedale della Pietà, and Vivaldi that brought the most attention to his music. This pairing also provided the composer with a captive orchestra and an institution loaded with able soloists, for which he could compose without technical restrictions. As is often quoted, the French traveler Charles de Brosses, who visited the Pieta in 1739, was completely taken with the orchestra. He wrote, “I avow that there is no sight like that of a young and fair nun in a white habit, with pomegranate blossoms over her ear, leading the orchestra and beating time with all the grace and precision one can imagine.” Over five hundred concerti by Vivaldi have been unearthed, most of them for violin, although a surprising number (over thirty) are for bassoon. Musicologists discover new Vivaldi works in libraries and monasteries nearly every year, adding to the already-impressive total. By the 1720s, Vivaldi was well known across Europe, his music having been available in print for a decade. His technique of illustrating musical contrasts suited the concerto format perfectly. Vivaldi streamlined the concerto form, codifying it into the fast-slow-fast genre still used today. He likewise managed to popularize the idea of alternating virtuosic solo sections with a recurring orchestral ritornello. Although the date of composition is uncertain for the Double Cello Concerto, it was likely written for the students at the Ospedale. Although Vivaldi wrote for unusual combinations of instruments, this work is the only one he penned for two cellos. The work begins with the typical Vivaldi allegro with much arpeggiation and ample technical passages for the soloists. Somewhat surprising is the dark minor key that imparts a sense of gravitas to the work. Vivaldi’s largo second movement is introspective and features intertwining parts for the soloists. There is a pensive quality rarely found in this composer’s music outside of his operas. The finale is a lively allegro with sweeping cello lines and heightened duties for the basso continuo. —
