Jacob Shay b. 2000

Fabian Schneider CONDUCTOR Jacob Shay is a young composer from Minnesota. He holds a bachelor’s degree in music theory and composition from Concordia College (Moorhead, Minnesota). While Jacob is a huge fan of romantic composers such as Satie and Samuel Barber, he is also an adamant fan of soundtracks: as a result, Jacob’s musical style is often melodic, and epically cinematic. Jacob has written for a wide range of ensembles, media, and purposes, including commercial music for companies, and has also been a finalist in composition contests. In the winter of 2022, Dr. Kevin Sütterlin commissioned Shay to write a piece for the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra. This gave way to the creation of Spark! The piece is fast

SATURDAY, JULY 22 and bursting with life across all ends of the orchestra. Despite the swift nature of the piece, Jacob’s sense of harmony and orchestration allows for a thorough and cohesive sound world for melodies to develop. Along with the use of both quartal and quintal harmonies, Jacob’s influence of cinematic music has found its way into the piece.

Andante Festivo

Jean Sibelius 1865–1957

Elizabeth Ames CONDUCTOR Originally scored for string quartet in 1922, Andante Festivo was later re-scored for string orchestra and optional timpani in 1938. The piece was premiered on New Year’s Day in 1939 as part of a live worldwide broadcast for the New York World Exhibition. Sibelius, often recognized as Finland’s greatest composer, conducted that premiere performance with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra as a greeting to the world from Finland. The recording now serves as the only existing record of the composer interpreting his own work.

Concerto for Bassoon in F Major Op. 75

Carl Maria von Weber 1786–1826

I. Allegro ma non troppo Alison Pollock BASSOON Carl Maria von Weber’s ever-popular bassoon concerto was composed in 1811 and later revised in 1822. Whilst visiting Munich in 1811, Weber was asked to put on a concert for the Queen. After impressing the court with his Concertino for Clarinet and Orchestra, Weber sought to write a new concerto. Weber took interest in German bassoonist Georg Friedrich Brandt and composed this concerto in just four days: it premiered on December 28, 1811.

The 1822 revisions took place four years before Weber’s death after the composer entered into an agreement with Schlesinger (a music publisher) to publish some of his older works including the bassoon concerto. The revised version includes expansion of some orchestral sections and re-scoring of some of the parts.

Adagietto from L’Arlésienne

Georges Bizet 1838–1875

Georges Bizet was a nineteenth-century French composer and is perhaps best known for his opera Carmen. In 1872, prior to writing Carmen, he wrote incidental music to a play called L’Arlésienne (The Girl from Arles). He received many negative reviews with critics saying there were too many overture-like sections, and his music began to overshadow the play itself. He was able to 3

FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA CONCERT salvage some of the music, creating two suites. The Adagietto is from the first suite and is played by only strings, which use mutes to create a unique, darker, and more mysterious sound.

Scheherazade Op. 35

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov 1844–1908

I. The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship A youthful yearning for the sea and an increasing fascination with the “exoticism” of the Near East perhaps led Rimsky-Korsakov to compose his most renowned orchestral work, a tour-de-force of orchestral color, virtuosity, and lush melody and harmony. The young composer grew up with an older brother who was a sailor, and he himself enrolled in the College of Naval Cadets at age 17 while simultaneously continuing his musical studies. It was his encounter with Mussorgsky, Cui, Balakirev and ultimately Alexander Borodin— the other members of what would become known in the Russian music world as “The Mighty Handful” —that led him to a career as a composer, teacher of students such as Igor Stravinsky, and author of one of the best-known treatises on orchestration in Western music history. Rimsky-Korsakov encountered a book of Arab melodies transcribed by his friend Borodin and incorporated them in his Antar Symphony. In 1874, he and his family visited the town of Bakhchisaryon on the Black Sea, and the profusion of sounds, colors, and atmosphere—from the musicians playing in every café, the muezzin’s call to prayer from the minaret, and the lively bustle of street markets—made a considerable impression. He would return there seven years later and also visit Constantinople.

While Rimsky-Korsakov would ultimately give descriptive titles to each of the four movements (The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship, The Tale of the Kalendar Prince, The Young Prince and The Young Princess, The Festival at Baghdad), he did not intend a programmatic description of each tale. Rather, the overall structure of the suite is based on the antagonist and protagonist of the Arabian Nights: the murderous Sultan Shariar, who is convinced of the perfidy and faithlessness of all women to such a degree that he slays each of his wives on their wedding night, and the wise, resourceful Sultana Sharzad (or Scheherazade) who spares her life as well as those of her fellow wives by nightly regaling the sultan with stories so irresistible that he agrees to spare her life for 1,001 nights until he finally agrees to abandon his bloodthirsty practice. The sultan is depicted by a stern, baleful theme dominated by the low brass, whereas the sultana is voiced by solo violin and harp. The rhapsodic beauty of her theme is by turns beguiling, pleading, playful, bold, and passionate. Both themes are featured in each movement and intertwine with and even become a part of the other melodic material in the suite. Thus, after introducing both characters, the first movement is an interplay between Shariar’s and Scheherazade’s themes while undulating and swirling arpeggios represent the motion of the sea.

SATURDAY, JULY 22

Intermission Symphony No. 3 Op. 36

Louise Farrenc 1804–1875

II. Adagio Fabian Schneider CONDUCTOR Composer, concert pianist, and entrepreneur Louise Farrenc is belatedly receiving her due as a remarkable figure in the musical world of nineteenthcentury Paris. Born to an artistic family (her father and brother were sculptors), Farrenc studied with such renowned pianists as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel, and at age 15 was accepted as a student of Anton Reicha, professor of composition at the Paris Conservatory. Farrenc had a brilliant career as a touring artist and composer during the 1830s. She composed for her own instrument as well as for orchestra and chamber ensembles—often performing with her husband, flutist Aristide Farrenc. She was appointed as professor of piano at the Paris Conservatory in 1842, and after her husband retired as a performing artist, the couple founded Editions Farrenc, a music publishing house that was one of the most distinguished in Paris for several decades.

The last of her symphonic works, Farrenc’s third symphony in G minor was composed in 1847 and premiered at a performance organized by the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in 1849. Farrenc had the misfortune of not only being a woman in a male-dominated music culture, but also a very serious artist who was interested in symphonic works and chamber music; however, French audiences flocked to opulent opera productions and often favored orchestral music by German composers (Farrenc’s third symphony, in fact, shared a program with Beethoven’s fifth symphony). For all these reasons, Farrenc’s symphonies fell into neglect; the joy of this work is that it both is firmly grounded in musical traditions we already know and yet possesses of a singular and independent voice.

The second movement opens with pastoral drones (static long tones) in the two horns, over which a solo clarinet intones an extraordinarily tender and heartfelt melody. The violins take up this melody and continue to echo the clarinet as the melody unfolds and develops. However, the tranquil atmosphere dissipates as a second theme builds to rhythmically intense heights.

FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA CONCERT

Abertura em Ré [Overture in D]

José Maurício Nunes Garcia 1767–1830

Elizabeth Ames CONDUCTOR Padre José Maurício Nunes Garcia was an Afro-Brazilian composer, musician, Catholic priest, and music teacher. Most of his compositions are sacred works, but he also wrote secular pieces, including an opera and the Tempest Symphony, as well as the Overture in D performed today. A slow introduction is followed by a lively Allegro. Garcia sang and played the harpsichord, performing his compositions as well as those of other composers; Garcia is also believed to have conducted the first performance of Mozart’s Requiem in Brazil.

The departure of the Portuguese court, financial and personal difficulties, and health problems made Nunes Garcia’s life challenging especially at its end.

After his death, he was remembered and appreciated for his contributions to classical composition, but most of his work was presumed lost. Over the past decades, more research and discovery about his life and work has been published. He was honored on a Brazilian postage stamp in 1973.

Ballade Op. 33

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

1875–1912

Matthew Clarke CONDUCTOR Samuel Coleridge-Taylor is best known for his triptych of cantatas based on The Song of Hiawatha which was well received on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Ballade in A minor was written less than a year before the first Hiawatha work, and the warm reception it received at its premiere brought new attention to the 23-year-old composer. Born in London in 1875 to a father from Sierra Leone and a white British mother, the young Coleridge-Taylor studied violin and was accepted at the age of 15 into the Royal College of Music. He soon switched to composition. While bearing the brunt of racist attitudes of his time, Coleridge-Taylor did have the good fortune to have a stalwart champion in his composition professor, Charles Villiers Stanford, who both encouraged and challenged his pupil. Coleridge-Taylor’s talent also attracted the attention of Edward Elgar. When Herbert Brewer, organist and director of the Three Choirs Festival, asked Elgar to write a short work for the 1898 festival, he declined and instead wrote to Brewer, “I am sorry I am too busy to do so. I wish, wish, wish you would ask Coleridge-Taylor to do it. He still wants recognition, and he is far and away the cleverest fellow.” Brewer approached Coleridge-Taylor and the Ballade in A Minor for orchestra was premiered at the Three Choirs Festival on September 12.

The Ballade shows the young composer’s precocious confidence. The work opens with brilliant trilling and features two themes in 6/8 meter, the first sprightly and mercurial, the second introduced by horns, winds, and cellos. The frequent cross rhythms and folk-like melodies as well as the colorful orchestration evoke a Bohemian spirit. A new theme introduced by muted 6

SATURDAY, JULY 22 strings is songful and warm, and it builds to glowing heights in the full orchestra. The first and second themes return, developed and presented in new keys, and the brief yet tumultuous coda ends on a blazing A-minor chord.

Soul of Remembrance from Five Movements in Color

Mary D. Watkins b. 1939

Matthew Clarke CONDUCTOR Hailing from Denver, Colorado, composer Mary D. Watkins began piano lessons at the age of four, and then pursued a career in music as she transferred from Pueblo Community College to the prestigious HBCU Howard University.

She later moved to Los Angeles and worked for the Olivia Records Collective, a lesbian and feminist record label founded in 1973. She founded a jazz ensemble there and Olivia Records released her album Something Moving in 1978. She has gone on to compose within the genres of orchestral music, jazz, and music for film and theater. Soul of Remembrance is one movement of Five Movements in Color, a suite composed in. The whole work is richly eclectic and encompasses music of West Africa as well as many different musical styles and genres from the African diaspora. Watkins describes the piece as an “epochal painting or poem about our journey as Black people in the United States.” Of the second movement, she writes: “I saw my own people in their long march to fully express themselves as fully human in a society when we were always boxed in.”

The movement’s main melody suggests (but doesn’t directly quote) the African American praise song “Remember Me.” Of this movement, Watkins writes: “the second movement is the collective moan of a profound grief felt by the newly arrived Africans, who found themselves in a strange land, dealing with the loss of the only life they had known and leaving behind the comforts of family and friends. Soul of Remembrance is my tribute to the way my ancestors found calm in the eye of the storm and held on to hope by remembering ancestral wisdom and a spiritual knowledge deep within their souls.”

Finlandia

Jean Sibelius

Op. 26 Finlandia is the ultimate expression of the Finnish people’s desire for independence at a time when the country was still under the control of Czarist Russia. In 1899, Sibelius composed incidental music for a pageant based on Finnish history for a benefit event that, on the surface, was a fundraiser for the newspapermen’s pension. In reality, however, the event was a call for freedom of the press and Finnish independence. Originally titled Finland Awakes!, Sibelius reworked it as an orchestral tone poem under its now well-known name, Finlandia.

Following acknowledgement of the performers, we conclude with song and prayer 7

FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA CONCERT

EVENING PRAYER This liturgy uses the cranberry-colored worship book Evangelical Lutheran Worship, abbreviated as ELW in this bulletin. References to “page” numbers are found in the front of the book (look for the smaller numbers at the bottom of each page) while references to “Hymn” numbers are found in the main section (look for larger numbers at the top of each page next to the hymn title).

On July 22 the church commemorates Mary Magdalene. The gospels report that Mary Magdalene was one of the women of Galilee who followed Jesus.

She was present at Jesus’ crucifixion and his burial. When she went to the tomb on the first day of the week to anoint Jesus’ body, she was the first person to whom the risen Lord appeared. She returned to the disciples with the news and has been called “the apostle to the apostles” for her proclamation of the resurrection.

I thank you, heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.

You kept me safely through the day, now keep me safe this night, I pray.

Forgive my sins where I have erred in wrongful deed or thought or word. Be with me through the dark night hours lest I succumb to Satan’s powers.

Into your hands, O Father, I offer all I am and have.

Your holy angel in the night keep watch o’er me till morning light.

O Christ, my Savior, be my song each morning, evening, all day long, who with the Father we give praise, and Holy Spirit, all our days.

Amen.

Together with his best friend, Dr. Mathias O. Elmer, he is Music Co-Director of Sinfonietta Memphis, an ensemble that provides free concerts and educational experiences for the Greater Memphis communities. Celebrating the orchestra’s tenth season, and perhaps the only orchestra in the U.S. with a co-directorship model, Sinfonietta Memphis’s conductors Elmer and Sütterlin proudly represent the orchestra’s credo: friendship through music. They also co-direct The Sinfonietta Academy for Historically Informed Performance Practice which has recently been recognized as one of the country’s leading period performance practice institutes. In 2019, Sütterlin was named Principal Guest Conductor of the Qingdao Concert Hall Symphony in China, and in 2021 Honorary Conductor of K-Classic Orchestras, a Korean organization dedicated to contributing to world peace through musical and cultural exchange. Sütterlin furthermore serves as Principal Guest Conductor of Fargo-Moorhead Opera, where he recently directed productions of Rossini’s La Cenerentola and Humperdinck’s Hänsel and Gretel to great acclaim, and where he will return this upcoming season.

With a great love and passion for teaching, Sütterlin is also Artistic Director of the Northern Valley Youth Orchestras, and holds The Phyllis and Richard Duesenberg Endowed Orchestra Chair of the Lutheran Summer Music Academy and Festival, directing the organization’s orchestral and conducting programs. He has been recognized as one of the country’s leading conducting pedagogues, being praised for his keen analytical eye and deep understanding of conducting technique and physique, paired with a kind and caring approach that has empowered over 150 conductors and conducting students across the globe so far. He is a much sought-after clinician for regional, state-wide, national, and international music festivals and workshops.

Championing the music of living as well as historically under-represented composers, Sütterlin commits to broad and diverse programming on every single concert with all of his ensembles. Using his own funds, Sütterlin commissions between three to six new works every single year. He has commissioned and recorded works of numerous living composers, including Stella Sung, Theresa Martin, Christopher Ducasse, Evan Williams, René Clausen, 14

To honor this partnership, funds contributed by an organization will be matched at 50% by Lutheran Summer Music, up to a match of $500.
