As many in the Kamloops community are aware, we recently lost a pivotal and motivating figure in our local music scene. Don Bennett was a beloved music educator and performer, who touched the lives of many. No stranger to us here at the Kamloops Symphony, he served as our Principal Trombone for 26 years, but his community involvement went much beyond our concerts.

Don was also a very active music educator, which he did full time in addition to his symphony involvement. For 35 years, he taught in the school system here in Kamloops, and he was also vital to many other community-led ensembles, including the Thompson Valley Orchestra and the Kamloops Community Band. Don leaves an incredible legacy of former students and colleagues, many who work now as musicians and educators in Kamloops and beyond.

Each member of the music community has their own personal story as to what Don meant to them. As a newcomer, mine is quite recent: I had the privilege of playing in a few very informal driveway concerts over the summer. Little did I know at the time that I was one of the last musicians who was lucky enough to perform with him. In each rehearsal and performance, Don had such a positive outlook, and was so generous with his affirmations. I couldn’t help but feel gratified after spending a rehearsal with him. Although my interactions with him may have been brief, there are so many other musicians who share similar if not more profound recollections of him, and with great respect, we wish to honour those memories here.

In contemplation of all of Don’s contributions to music communities close and far, the Kamloops Symphony would like to dedicate this concert to his memory.

May his generous spirit and passion for music education live on.

Solemn Contemplation Welcome to an evening of music for a time of sorrow—music for a time of Solemn Contemplation. Dina Gilbert, the Kamloops Symphony’s Music Director, is firm in her belief in the healing power of music, in its ability to help us express our griefs, especially when words fail us. The Kamloops Symphony Wellness Lab, which she established this fall, is designed to help spread the healing power of music throughout the community as a response to the dislocation and disorientation of this time of pandemic. Likewise, her choices for this evening’s concert were made with this thought of healing in mind, and as a gateway to the annual act of remembrance in which we acknowledge and celebrate the sacrifice made by those who served and fell in many wars. In this year of COVID-19, those who have succumbed to the virus as well as those who have worked tirelessly to protect them are also central to our thoughts. In this evening’s programme Dina’s choices range from the beauty and simplicity of works by two contemporary Canadian composers, Julie Thériault and Larysa Kuzmenko, to a “classic” of western church music, the Stabat Mater by Giovanni Pergolesi.

Julie Thériault (19--)

Four Selections from “Projections”: Mirage, Fleur de peau, Mutation plutonique, Isthme de l’être (15min) (2019) To usher in this evening of Solemn Contemplation Dina has chosen a collection of four pieces from the recent work, Projections, by Montreal composer Julie Thériault. The choices clearly reflect Dina’s belief that out of music of fundamental beauty and simplicity— music of simple harmony, delicate contrasts and changes of tone—quiet introspection can occur, emotional release can emerge and consolation can be gained.

Julie Thériault is a Montreal musician, a composer, a pianist, and also a painter.

She has won prizes for her film music as well as her orchestral compositions. Her work as a painter is important: Thériault credits painting with helping her unlock aspects of her musical creativity. For her, the visual imagery of the painter and the aural imagery of the musician are interchangeable: colours can be related to music and likewise vibrations to painting. The pieces in Projection

Solemn Contemplation, are for combinations of piano, string orchestra and solo violin. Each one is a small and introspective emotional world into which we enter, to emerge reshaped by each piece’s distinct arrangement of elements. “Mirage” is for violin solo and the string orchestra, with the strings providing a steady and calming orchestral base allowing the solo violin to float contemplatively above. In “Fleur de peau,” it is the piano, in subtle contrast to the strings, that provides the delicate rhythmic pulse that liberates the

continued

solo violin and then the lower strings.

“Mutation plutonique,” as the title suggests, is a little more dramatic. The low strings sound slightly ominous and uneasy, but above them the solo violin soars with passion and tenderness. In “Isthme de l’être” the piano and solo violin together start us quietly, gently but purposefully, on a journey that quickly becomes more urgent, only to resolve itself, suffused with resignation, with just the violin and piano to close.

Larysa Kuzmenko (1956) A Prayer for String Orchestra (1993) (7min) Larysa Kuzmenko is a Toronto-based composer and pianist. She is currently on staff at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music, where she teaches piano, harmony, and composition. Across a long composing career she has written concertos for piano, cello, organ and accordion, chamber music and music for solo piano and organ, and much choral music including songs and an oratorio.

Next in this evening of Solemn Contemplation Dina has fittingly chosen a musical “prayer,” Kuzmenko’s A Prayer for String Orchestra. It was inspired by the memory of the composer’s father and premiered by the Mississauga Sinfonia Chamber Orchestra in February 1993. Kuzmenko herself describes its “melodic and liturgical quality” and its

“lyrical one-movement form.” Prayer is an attempt at intimate dialogue with the Creator that often moves through a variety of emotional phases. So, this one-movement Prayer develops in several sections in which the alternation of moods and speeds and the contrasts between high and lower strings helps frame the evolving feelings. It begins with a slow, plaintive, occasionally dissonant melody that evolves into a faster section more fervent and urgent (it is a prayer after all) that subsides into a mood of pensive and quiet intensity before building to an anguished climax. Then silence—and the gentle return of the opening melody brings the prayer to a resigned but peaceful end.

Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-1736) Stabat Mater (1736) (42min) [Latin text and translation on the following pages] The Italian composer Pergolesi was born at Jesi near Naples and educated at the Conservatorio in Naples. He was a delicate child and seems to have suffered from tubercular problems throughout

his life. However, he was precociously talented receiving his first commission (for an opera) when only 21. At age 22 he was appointed maestro di cappella to the Viceroy of Naples and from that

point on was always busy, composing operas (both serious and comic) as well as church music. He was unable, though, to overcome the illnesses that plagued him and he died at age 26—a career of only five years. His Stabat Mater was a commissioned work which he barely completed only in the last weeks of his life. The tragedy of his early death made him something of a romantic figure in the following years and increased the popularity of his works, both secular and religious. At the same time the distinctive skill and artistry of Pergolesi’s style led unscrupulous music printers to publish works by less talented composers under his name. One element of Pergolesi’s skill is his development of a more emotional musical language than that of other composers who continued to employ the more formal, prescribed forms that had evolved in earlier decades in both opera and church music. This greater emotional expressiveness can be heard in many places in Stabat Mater, along with passages in more traditional style.

In seeking music in aid of remembrance and emotional healing Dina has gone to the centre of the tradition of classical church music, choosing this setting of the Stabat Mater by Pergolesi.

Contemplation is at the heart of the Christian tradition especially in relation to an understanding of Christ’s passion.

Most church music across the centuries has been written for the liturgy of the church (services like the Mass, Matins, Evensong, the Requiem) or from biblical texts (the Te Deum, Magnificat, or the Psalms). The text of Stabat Mater, however, is distinct in being a poem in rhyming Latin stanzas, written in the 13th

Century, reputedly by Jacopone da Todi, an Italian Franciscan monk. It quickly became so popular that it was adopted into the liturgy of the Catholic Church.

It is also distinct in being a text frequently chosen by composers over the centuries from the time of its composition up to the present day—over 200 different settings exist, including ones by Palestrina in the late Renaissance through Schubert, Rossini and Dvorak, to Welsh composer Karl Jenkins in our own time.

Throughout the poem, the speaker watches Mary the mother of Jesus keeping vigil as her son dies on the cross.

It is the power of music to embody this experience of Mary suffering while her son suffers, a mother and a dying son, that epitomizes Dina’s trust in the emotionally liberating qualities of music. As the poem proceeds, however, the poem’s speaker (male or female) shifts from merely describing Mary’s intense grief to actually experiencing that same grief, and through that empathic experience coming to understand the Passion of Jesus himself and its purpose for humankind. Just as Mary’s experience becomes the source for the speaker’s emotional awakening, so for us as readers and listeners the speaker’s experience provides our epiphany. We too are invited to share in the message of human salvation. Such emotional release and understanding are the goals of contemplation. By putting the words into the voices of two soloists rather than just one, a soprano and an alto (in this performance a countertenor), Pergolesi not only enriches his musical resources but also broadens the symbolic relevance of the poem’s experience.
