The Madison Symphony Orchestra Thanks its Season Partners

John DeMain

MUSIC DIRECTOR

In his 30th season as music director of the Madison Symphony Orchestra (MSO), Grammy and Tony Award-winning conductor John DeMain is noted for his dynamic performances on concert and opera stages throughout the world. American composer Jake Heggie assessed the conductor’s broad appeal, saying, “There’s no one like John DeMain. In my opinion, he’s one of

the top

conductors in the world.” In January 2023 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Opera Association, the NOA’s highest award.

During his three decades in Madison as the MSO music director, DeMain has consistently raised the quality of the orchestra by introducing blind auditions and continuously expanding the repertoire to encompass ever more ch allenging and virtuosic works, including the highly-acclaimed performances of the complete symphonies of Gustav Mahler. DeMain also oversaw the move into the world-class Overture Hall and expanded the subscription season to triple performances.

His active conducting schedule has taken him to the stages of the National Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the symphonies of Seattle,

St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus, Houston, San Antonio, Long Beach, and Jacksonville, along with the Pacific Symphony, Boston Pops, Aspen Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of Seville, the Leipzig MDR Sinfonieorchester, and Mexico’s Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional.

Prior engagements include visiting San Francisco Opera as guest conductor for General Director David Gockley’s farewell gala, Northwestern University to conduct Carlisle Floyd’s Susannah, and the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center in D.C. to conduct Kurt Weill’s Lost in the Stars. In 2019, he conducted the world premiere of Tazewell Thompson’s Blue at the Glimmerglass Festival to critical acclaim — he “drew a vibrant performance from an orchestra of nearly 50 players; the cast was superb.” (The New York Times) He was also planning to conduct the premiere of Blue at the Washington National Opera in March 2020.

DeMain also serves as artistic director for Madison Opera and in their 2023–2024 season conducts Tosca, The Anonymous Lovers, and Candide. He has been a regular guest conductor with Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center and has made appearances at the Teatre Liceu in Barcelona, New York City Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Los Angeles

Opera, Seattle Opera, San Francisco Opera, Virginia Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Aspen Music Festival, Portland Opera, and Mexico’s National Opera.

During his distinguished 17-year tenure with Houston Grand Opera, DeMain led a history-making production of Porgy and Bess, winning a Grammy Award, Tony Award, and France’s Grand Prix du Disque for the RCA recording. In spring 2014, the San Francisco Opera released an HD DVD of their most recent production of Porgy and Bess, conducted by John DeMain.

DeMain began his career as a pianist and conductor in his native Youngstown, Ohio. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at The Juilliard School and made a highly acclaimed debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. DeMain was the second recipient of the Julius Rudel Award at New York City Opera and one of the first six conductors to receive the Exxon/National Endowment for the Arts Conductor Fellowship for his work with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.

DeMain holds honorary degrees from the University of Nebraska and Edgewood College and he is a Fellow of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters. He resides in Madison and his daughter, Jennifer, is a UW–Madison graduate.

Mariachi Los Camperos

The Grammy award winning ensemble, Mariachi Los Camperos was founded in 1961 by Jose Natividad “Nati” Cano Ruiz. Mr. Cano played a fundamental role in the development of mariachi music in the United States by training and mentoring new generations of mariachi musicians. The Mariachi “Giant” was a visionary leader that wanted to take the mariachi performance out of customary locations such as Cantinas and into concert halls where celebrities performed. Nati Cano fulfilled his dream by presenting Los

Camperos and performing at casinos in Las Vegas, Reno, Sparks, Lake Tahoe and other places where mariachis had never previously performed. Los Camperos became well known and in 1964, they were the first Mariachi to perform in New York’s Carnegie Hall. In 1969, Mr. Cano opened the first ever Mariachi Dine and Show at “La Fonda Casa de Los Camperos” now known as a Landmark in the city of Los Angeles, California. Today, mariachi restaurants all over the world are modeled after La Fonda.

Mariachi Los Camperos, one of the most popular mariachi ensembles in the world, is noted for innovative shows and distinction as a concert ensemble. The group has performed for over 60 years on stage and television, including

various PBS specials, “In Performance at the White House”, “The Spirit of Mexico”, “Viva La Tradicion” and others. Motion pictures such as: “Sex in the City 2”, “The Lost World: Jurassic Park,” “Jerry Maguire” and many more. The Grammy Award-winning ensemble has recorded and performed with many artist including Pedro Fernandez, Pepe Aguilar, Angeles Ochoa, Eugenia Leon, Lila Downs, Alejandro Fernandez, Luis Miguel and many more, including the collaboration on Linda Ronstadt’s 1987 milestone album, “Canciones de Mi Padre” and Ronstadt’s sequel album, “Mas Canciones” (released in 1992), they toured with the singer nationwide.

On October 3rd, 2014 Los Camperos mourned the death of Nati Cano. His passing was greatly felt by followers, students and performers worldwide. Mr. Cano left the group to the musical director, Jesus "Chuy" Guzman who has served as the musical director since 1992.

Chuy Guzman is known for his musical arrangements that highlight the skills and voices of the group. He is widely recognized as arranger, director, instructor, and musician in the genre of Mariachi music. Mr. Guzman has served as head instructor for numerous international mariachi festivals in the United States and Mexico. He is the Musical Director for the Mariachi Master Apprentice Program (MMAP) in San Fernando and continues as the instructor for Music of Mexico, at the University of

California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Under Guzman’s Direction, in 2006 Mariachi Los Camperos received a Grammy nomination for their Album “Llegaron Los Camperos”, In 2008 Mariachi Los Camperos took home a Grammy Award for Best Regional Mexican Music Album with “Amor, Dolor y Lagrimas". They later released a 2015 Grammy-nominated musical tribute to Nati Cano called: Tradición, Arte, y Pasión, this album gave Mariachi Los Camperos a Grammy nomination. Determined for a Grammy Award, In January 2020 at the 62nd Grammy award celebration, Mariachi Los Camperos took home another Grammy Award with their album release “De Ayer Para Siempre” for Best Regional Mexican Music Album.

Inspire MUSIC CAN

We at the Madison Symphony Orchestra believe that music is for everyone. Music enriches our lives with beauty, inspiration and comfort. It is an especially precious resource for those in need — the child who has a difficult time in school or at home — the elderly woman living in a nursing home who cannot care for herself or remember where she is. We bring music into people’s lives where they are touched deeply or even transformed.

From very young children and families, to students, to the elderly and those with health challenges, we share music with our diverse community through 17 Education and Community Engagement Programs, 5 of which are highlighted here. While over 25,000 individuals are reached annually, there are still more people who can benefit from experiencing live music. It is our goal to continue to expand the impact of our programs and connect with even more people each year. With your help, we can realize this goal. We invite you to learn more about our free and lowcost programs and how you can support this powerful work. Join us on our journey to enrich, engage, and inspire our community through music. Thank you!

Program Notes

MAY 3-4-5, 2024

Program Notes by J. Michael Allsen

We close this season with the Madison Symphony Orchestra’s first-ever all-Mexican program, beginning with José Pablo Moncayo’s Huapango, a joyful take on a folk dance from the state of Veracruz. Making his debut with the orchestra, the distinguished Mexican-born pianist Jorge Federico Osorio performs the lush, romantic Piano Concerto No.1, an early work by the Mexican master Manuel Ponce. We then perform the colorful—and sometimes savage— Night of the Mayas by Silvestre Revueltas. This work will be coordinated with projected images assembled by the MSO’s Peter Rodgers. And as the gran finale of this fiesta, we welcome the famed Mariachi de los Camperos for an exuberant set of mariachi music!

This lively work, Moncayo’s most popular piece, is based upon the folk music of Veracruz.

José Pablo Moncayo

Born: June 29, 1912, Guadalajara, Mexico.

Died: June 16, 1958, Mexico City, Mexico. Huapango

Composed: 1941.

Premiere: August 15, 1941 in Mexico City, by the Orquestra Sinfónica de Mexico, under the direction of Carlos Chávez.

Previous MSO Performance: This is our first performance of the work.

Duration: 9:00.

Background

Though he had a lamentably short career, composer José Pablo Moncayo became one of Mexico’s leading musical figures.

Moncayo trained in Mexico City, and became a protégé of the great Mexican composer Carlos Chávez, but was closely associated with the more radical Silvestre Revueltas as well. Moncayo also studied briefly with Aaron Copland in the United States. While still a student in Mexico City, he started his career as a percussionist in Orquestra Sinfónica de Mexico (Symphony Orchestra of Mexico), and he would eventually succeed Chávez as conductor, leading the orchestra from 1949-1954. In the 1930s, Moncayo was part of the “Group of Four”—an influential group of like-minded young nationalist composers whose stated aim was to forward the cause of classical works based on Mexican musical material. By far his most popular work is the Huapango, composed in 1941 for a commission by Chávez. Moncayo completed the work that summer while attending the Tanglewood Festival near Boston,

at the invitation of Copland and conductor

Serge Koussevitsky.

What You’ll Hear

The fast-paced opening and closing sections are based upon a pair of songs from Veracruz, and the more relaxed middle section adapts a third. The title Huapango refers to a folk dance associated with the son huasteca—the lively folk music of the Mexican coastal state of Veracruz. The huapango is traditionally danced on a low wooden platform, so that the dancers’ footwork can provide a percussive counterpoint to the son There is a large repertoire of traditional sones, but good singers— huasteceros—will seldom sing a son huasteca the same way twice: changing melodies at will and inserting topical references and joking asides to their audience. In 1940, Moncayo and his friend Blas Galindo took a folk song collecting trip to the coastal city of Alvarado in Veracruz, and Mocayo transcribed versions of three songs that he later adapted in his Huapango. The bold opening section is based on two songs, El siquisiri and El balajú, with the lively alternation between duple and triple meters that characterizes much of Mexican folk music. A slightly slower, more stately contrasting section adapts El gavilán, but the tempo soon ratchets up for a wild reprise of the opening music.

This early work by Mexican composer Manuel Ponce helped to establish him as a leading figure in his homeland.

Manuel Ponce

Born: December 8, 1882, Fresnillo, Mexico.

Died: April 24, 1948, Mexico City, Mexico.

Piano Concerto No. 1 (Romántico)

Composed: Ponce completed the work in September 1910.

Premiere: July 7, 1912 in Mexico City, with Ponce as soloist, conducted by Julián Carillo.

Previous MSO Performance:

This is our first performance of the work.

Duration: 23:00.

Background

Written shortly after he returned from studying in Europe, this concerto is largely European in style, reflecting in particular the influence of Franz Liszt.

Born in the north central state of Zacatecas, Ponce studied music initially with his sister, before moving to Mexico City as a teenager to enter the National Conservatory. While there, his harmony teacher, Eduardo Gabrielli, strongly encouraged Ponce to continue his studies in Europe. He traveled to Europe in about 1904, studying in Milan and later in Berlin, where one of his primary influences was the pianist Martin Krause (who had been a disciple of Franz Liszt). Out of money, Ponce returned to Mexico in 1907, and immediately threw himself into the musical life of Mexico City, taking a teaching post at the National Conservatory. In the early 20th century, classical composers across Latin America were beginning to look towards their own national styles for inspiration. In Mexico, Ponce was quickly recognized as a leading

figure, particularly after a July 1912 concert in Mexico City that featured his Piano Concerto No. 1, as well as several smaller pieces that were based upon Mexican folk styles. He followed this up with an influential lecture on Mexican music in 1913. From his post at the National Conservatory (He became its director in 1933.), and his work as a composer, performer, musicologist, and music critic, Ponce exerted a tremendous influence on Mexican music for decades.

Ponce’s Piano Concerto No. 1, his first large-scale composition and only the third piano concerto written by a Mexican composer, was quickly nicknamed the “Concierto Romántico.” In comparison to the more distinctly “Mexicanist” music that dominated his career as a composer, this is largely a romantic, German-style concerto influenced by Franz Liszt (by way of Ponce’s teacher Krause), Franck, and Chopin. However, many later Mexican writers have pointed out subtle traces of folk styles from his homeland.

In this work, the traditional three movements of a romantic concerto are brought together into a single, unbroken span:

• a stormy opening section in sonata form,

• a lyrical interlude ending with a long cadenza, and

• a lively conclusion.

The concerto is laid out in three interconnected movements, beginning with a section marked Allegro appassionato. Written in a looselyconstructed sonata form, it begins with a tragic main idea from the orchestra. When the piano enters, it is with a dramatic solo passage and a long trill before it turns to the main theme. Piano and solo woodwinds introduce a lighter second idea before a stormy development that

focuses primarily on the main theme. A short recapitulation of this idea ends with a short transition from the woodwinds leading into the second movement (Andantino amoroso). This section, the longest of the concerto, begins with a lush introduction, which the piano picks up in a passionate solo. The middle section is a sentimental pair of conversations where the piano is answered first by strings and then by English horn. (This passage is often described as a reference to a Mexican-style love duet.) A long solo cadenza, referring to all of the main ideas heard so far, leads into the final section (Finale: Allegro). This serves as an extended coda, ending with a dramatic piano flourish.

This work is an adaptation of a film score by Revueltas, assembled 20 years after his death.

Silvestre Revueltas

Born: December 31, 1899, Santiago Papasquiaro, Mexico.

Died: October 5, 1940, Mexico City, Mexico.

La noche de las Mayas (The Night of the Mayas), arr. José Ives Limantour Composed: 1939.

Premiere: This music was originally written for a 1939 film. The suite heard here was prepared

by José Ives Limantour in 1960. Limantour also directed the first performance on January 30, 1961, by the Orquestra Sinfónica de Guadalajara.

Previous MSO Performance: This is our first performance of the work.

Duration: 26:00.

Background

Revueltas was a radical—musically and politically—and created a style that was influenced by both Mexican music and European modernism. This is clearly heard in his score to La noche de las Mayas, which was among his final works.

Born into an artistic family in the Mexican state of Durango, Silvestre Revueltas trained as a violinist, composer, and conductor in Mexico and the United States. In the late 1920s he became a protégé of Mexico’s leading musical figure, Carlos Chávez. When Revueltas was not yet 30, Chávez invited him to become assistant conductor of Orquestra Sinfónica de Mexico. After a promising start, the end of his career was much darker. He broke with Chavez in 1936, and briefly directed a rival national orchestra. In 1937, Revueltas left for Spain to lend his support to anti-fascist forces in the Spanish Civil War. He eventually fled back to Mexico when Francisco Franco’s fascists seized total power in Spain. Though he continued to compose, his last few years were marked by increasing depression, poverty, and alcoholism. He died of pneumonia at age 40. Though relatively little known for many years after his death, Revueltas’s unique music has enjoyed a resurgence in the past few decades.

As a composer, Revueltas was much more interested in contemporary European styles than most of his Mexican contemporaries. His orchestral and chamber music was often a blend of modernist techniques with a huge array of Mexican musical influences. He brought this same approach to several film scores written between 1935 and 1939. The last of these was for

the 1939 film La noche de las Mayas, directed by Chano Uruete. This was a drama centering on an isolated community of Maya Indians in Mexico’s Yucatán jungle, and the disastrous result of their encounter with modern culture, in the guise of a white explorer who finds the tribe. Revueltas’s score uses a variety of indigenous melodies, and a range of percussion instruments from the region. Revueltas died before he could create a concert version of this music. German composer Paul Hindemith created a concert suite from selections from Revueltas’s score in 1946. However, the 1960 version by conductor José Ives Limantour is how the score is usually heard today. Limantour took a very free hand in arranging over 30 of Revueltas’s brief musical cues for the film into a large fourmovement suite. The suite uses a fairly standard orchestra but an enormous percussion battery in the final movement, requiring twelve players. It calls for several indigenous instruments, including caracol (conch shell), sonajas (metal rattles), teponaxtles (large hollow wooden “slit drums”), and huehuetl (a large bass drum).

What You’ll Hear

This concert suite, arranged by José Ives Limantour, is in four movements:

• Noche de los Mayas begins and ends with a calmer episode in the middle of the movement.

• Noche de los Jarana is more lighthearted, set above a dance rhythm.

• Noce de Yucatán is a calm piece of “night music” with hints of darkness.

• Noche de encantamiento is where Limantour unleashes the full percussion battery. Most of the movement is a series of variations on a theme heard at the opening.

The opening movement, Noche de los Mayas, begins with a threatening fanfare—1930s “movie music” of the most dramatic kind. This is followed by a more relaxed episode and quietly repetitive music from the woodwinds that evokes indigenous melodies. The movement ends with a reprise of the opening music. Noche de los Jarana is a much lighter scherzo. (Jarana is slang for a drunken party.) The frantic forward motion never stops, as music flits between various meters. The strings act as timekeepers, as brass and woodwinds interject contrasting ideas: a mournful conch-shell call from the tuba, a brief attempt to upset the strings’ rhythm, and a slightly tipsy but quick-footed dance from the brass. Noce de Yucatán begins with lyrical and sometimes tense music, evoking the surrounding jungle. This is interrupted briefly by a short interlude for solo flute and drums: an indigenous melody borrowed by Revueltas. The opening mood returns at the bend, but is shattered by a sudden percussive crack that begins the last movement, Noche de encantamiento (Night of enchantment). The oboe lays out a theme used throughout the movement, followed by an angry response from the strings and brass. The rest of the movement is a set of four increasingly ferocious variations on the opening theme, dominated entirely by the percussion. These percussion parts, meant to sound improvised, were added by Limantour, and are not part of Revueltas’s film score. The movement ends with a savage coda.

Sobre el programa

3-4-5 MAYO, 2024

Escrito por J. Michael Allsen

Cerramos esta temporada con el primer programa totalmente mexicano de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Madison, comenzando con Huapango de José Pablo Moncayo, una versión alegre de un baile folclórico del estado de Veracruz. En su debut con la orquesta, el distinguido pianista mexicano Jorge Federico Osorio interpreta el exuberante y romántico Concierto para piano n.º 1, una obra temprana del maestro mexicano Manuel Ponce. Luego realizamos el colorido—y a veces salvaje—noche de los mayas de Silvestre Revueltas. Este trabajo se coordinará con imágenes proyectadas reunidas por Peter Rodgers de MSO. Y como el gran final de esta fiesta, le damos la bienvenida al famoso Mariachi de los Camperos para un exuberante conjunto de música de mariachi!

Esta animada obra, la pieza más popular de Moncayo, está basada en la música folclórica de Veracruz.

José Pablo Moncayo

Nacido: 29 de junio de 1912, Guadalajara, México.

Fallecido: 16 de junio de 1958, Ciudad de México, México.

Huapango

Compuesto: 1941.

Estreno: 15 de agosto de 1941 en la Ciudad de México, por la Orquesta Sinfónica de México, dirigida por Carlos Chávez.

Actuaciones anteriores de MSO: Esta es nuestra primera representación de la obra.

Duración: 9:00.

Contexto

Aunque lamentablemente tuvo una carrera corta, el compositor José Pablo Moncayo se convirtió en una de las principales figuras musicales de México.

Moncayo se formó en la Ciudad de México, donde estudió con el gran compositor mexicano Carlos Chávez, pero también estuvo estrechamente asociado con el más radical Silvestre Revueltas. Moncayo también estudió brevemente con Aaron Copland en Estados Unidos. Siendo aún estudiante en la Ciudad de México, inició su carrera como percusionista en la Orquesta Sinfónica de México, de la cual eventualmente sería el sucesor de Chávez como director de 1949 a 1954. En la década de 1930, Moncayo formó parte del “Grupo de los Cuatro”, un influyente grupo de jóvenes compositores nacionalistas con ideas similares cuyo objetivo era promover las obras clásicas basadas en material musical mexicano. Su obra más popular es el Huapango, compuesto en 1941 por encargo de Chávez. Moncayo completó la obra ese verano mientras asistía al Festival Tanglewood cerca de Boston, por invitación de Copland y el director Serge Koussevitsky.

Lo que escucharás

Las trepidantes secciones de apertura y cierre se basan en un par de canciones de Veracruz, y la sección central, más relajada, adapta una tercera canción.

El título Huapango se refiere a una danza folclórica asociada con el son huasteca—la animada música folclórica del estado costeño mexicano de Veracruz. El huapango Se baila tradicionalmente sobre una plataforma baja de madera, de modo que el juego de pies de los bailarines pueda proporcionar un contrapunto percusivo para el son. Existe un amplio repertorio de música tradicional de sones, pero buenos cantantes—huasteceros—rara vez cantan un son huasteca de la misma manera dos veces: cambiando melodías e insertando referencias de la actualidad y bromas para su audiencia. En 1940, Moncayo y su amigo Blas Galindo hicieron un viaje a la ciudad costera de Alvarado en Veracruz para recolectar canciones populares. Moncayo transcribió versiones de tres canciones que luego adaptó en su Huapango. La imponente sección inicial se basa en dos canciones, El sequisiri y El balajú, con la animada alternancia entre metros dobles y triples que caracteriza gran parte de la música folclórica mexicana. Una sección de contraste ligeramente más lenta y majestuosa adapta El gavilán, pero el tempo pronto acelera para una salvaje repetición de la música de apertura.

Este trabajo temprano del compositor mexicano Manuel Ponce ayudó a establecerlo como una figura de stacada en su tierra natal.

Manuel Ponce

Nacido: 8 de diciembre de 1882, Fresnillo, México.

Fallecido: 24 de abril de 1948, Ciudad de México, México.

CONCIERTO PARA PIANO N.º 1 (ROMÁNTICO)

Compuesto: Ponce finalizó la obra en septiembre de 1910.

Estreno: 7 de julio de 1912 en la Ciudad de México, con Ponce como solista, dirigida por Julián Carillo.

Actuaciones anteriores de MSO: Esta es nuestra primera representación de la obra.

Duración: 23:00.

Contexto

Escrito poco después de regresar de estudiar en Europa, ningún concierto tiene un estilo mayoritariamente europeo, lo que refleja en particular la influencia de Franz Liszt.

Nacido en el estado central norte de Zacatecas, Ponce estudió música inicialmente con su hermana, antes de mudarse a la Ciudad de México cuando era adolescente para ingresar al Conservatorio Nacional. Mientras estuvo allí, su maestro de armonía, Eduardo Gabrielli, lo animó fuertemente a continuar sus estudios en Europa. Viajó a Europa alrededor de 1904, estudiando en Milán y más tarde en Berlín, donde una de sus principales influencias fue

el pianista Martin Krause (que había sido discípulo de Franz Liszt). Sin dinero, Ponce regresó a México en 1907 e inmediatamente se lanzó a la vida musical de la Ciudad de México, ocupando un puesto docente en el Conservatorio Nacional. A principios del siglo XX, los compositores clásicos de América Latina comenzaban a buscar inspiración en sus propios estilos nacionales. En México, Ponce fue rápidamente reconocido como una figura destacada, particularmente después de un concierto en julio de 1912 en la Ciudad de México en el que presentó su Concierto para piano n.º 1, así como varias piezas más pequeñas basadas en estilos populares mexicanos. Siguió esto con una influyente conferencia sobre la música mexicana en 1913. Desde su puesto en el Conservatorio Nacional (se convirtió en su director en 1933) y su trabajo como compositor, intérprete, musicólogo y crítico musical, Ponce ejerció una enorme influencia en la música mexicana durante décadas. Concierto para piano n.º 1 de Ponce, su primera composición a gran escala y sólo el tercer concierto para piano escrito por un compositor mexicano, rápidamente fue apodado el “Concierto Romántico”. En comparación con la música más claramente “mexicanista” que dominó su carrera como compositor, este es en gran medida un concierto romántico de estilo alemán influenciado por Franz Liszt (a través del maestro de Ponce, Krause), Franck y Chopin. Sin embargo, muchos escritores mexicanos posteriores han señalado rastros sutiles de estilos populares de su tierra natal.

Lo que escucharás

En esta obra, los tres movimientos tradicionales de un concierto romántico se reúnen en un solo lapso ininterrumpido:

• una tormentosa sección de apertura en forma de sonata,

• un interludio lírico que termina con una larga cadencia, y

• una conclusión animada

El concierto se presenta en tres movimientos interconectados, comenzando con una sección marcada alegre y apasionada. Escrita en forma de sonata de construcción libre, comienza con un tema trágico de la orquesta. Cuando entra el piano, lo hace con un dramático pasaje solista y un largo trino antes de pasar al tema principal. El piano y los instrumentos de viento introducen una segunda idea más ligera antes de un desarrollo tormentoso que se centra mayormente en el tema principal. Una breve recapitulación de esta idea termina con una breve transición de los instrumentos de viento de madera que conducen al segundo movimiento (andantino enamorado). Esta sección, la más larga del concierto, comienza con una exuberante introducción, que el piano retoma en un apasionado solo. La sección central intercambia conversaciones sentimentales con las cuerdas y el corno inglés. (Este pasaje se describe a menudo como una referencia a un dúo de amor al estilo mexicano). Una larga cadencia solista, que hace referencia a todas las ideas principales escuchadas hasta ahora, conduce a la sección final (Final: Allegro). Esto sirve como una coda extendida, que termina con un toque dramático de piano.

Esta obra es una adaptación de la banda sonora de una película de Revueltas, montada 20 años después de su muerte.

Silvestre Revueltas

Nacido: 31 de diciembre de 1899, Santiago Papasquiaro, México.

Fallecido: 5 de octubre de 1940, Ciudad de México, México.

LA NOCHE DE LAS MAYAS, ARR. JOSÉ

IVES LIMANTOUR

Compuesto: 1939.

Estreno: Esta música fue escrita originalmente para una película de 1939. La suite que se escucha aquí fue preparada por José Ives Limantour en 1960. Limantour también dirigió la primera presentación el 30 de enero de 1961, a cargo de la Orquestra Sinfónica de Guadalajara.

Actuaciones anteriores de MSO: Esta es nuestra primera representación de la obra.

Duración: 26:00.

Contexto

Revueltas era un radical —musical

y políticamente— y creó un estilo influenciado tanto por la música mexicana como por el modernismo europeo. Esto se escucha claramente en su partitura La noche de las Mayas, que fue uno de sus últimos trabajos.

Nacido en el seno de una familia de artistas en el estado mexicano de Durango, Silvestre Revueltas se formó como violinista, compositor y director de orquesta en México y Estados Unidos.

A finales de la década de 1920 se convirtió en protegido de la principal figura musical de México, Carlos Chávez. Cuando Revueltas aún no tenía 30 años, Chávez lo invitó a ser director asistente de la Orquesta Sinfónica de México. Tras un comienzo prometedor, el final de su carrera fue mucho más oscuro. Rompió con Chávez en 1936 y dirigió brevemente una orquesta nacional rival. En 1937, Revueltas partió hacia España para prestar su apoyo a las fuerzas antifascistas en la Guerra Civil Española. Finalmente huyó a México cuando los fascistas de Francisco Franco tomaron el poder total en España. Aunque continuó componiendo, sus últimos años estuvieron marcados por una creciente depresión, pobreza y alcoholismo. Murió de neumonía a los 40 años. Aunque relativamente poco conocida durante muchos años después de su muerte, la música muy característica de Revueltas ha resurgido en las últimas décadas. Como compositor, Revueltas estaba mucho más interesado en los estilos europeos contemporáneos que la mayoría de sus contemporáneos mexicanos. Su música orquestal y de cámara era a menudo una mezcla de técnicas modernistas con una gran variedad de influencias musicales mexicanas. Aportó este mismo enfoque a varias partituras para películas escritas entre 1935 y 1939. La última de ellas fue para la película La noche de las Mayas en 1939, dirigida por Chano Uruete. Este era un drama centrado en una comunidad de indios mayas aislados en la selva de Yucatán en México, y el desastroso resultado de su encuentro con la cultura moderna, tras ser encontrados por un explorador blanco. La partitura de Revueltas utiliza una variedad de melodías indígenas y una variedad de instrumentos de percusión de la región. Revueltas murió antes de poder crear una versión de concierto de esta música. El compositor alemán Paul Hindemith creó una suite de concierto a partir de selecciones de la partitura de Revueltas en 1946. Sin embargo, la versión de 1960 del director José Ives Limantour es como se suele escuchar la partitura hoy en día. Limantour tuvo mucha

Gavin Lawrence

libertad para organizar más de 30 de las breves pistas musicales de Revueltas para la película en una gran suite de cuatro movimientos. La suite utiliza una orquestación estándar pero un enorme conjunto de doce percusionistas en el movimiento final. Requiere varios instrumentos indígenas, entre ellos caracol (caracola), sonajas (sonajeros de metal), teponaxtles (grandes “tambores con hendiduras” de madera hueca), yhuehuetl (un bombo grande).

Lo que escucharás

Esta suite de concierto, arreglada por José Ives Limantour, está en cuatro movimientos:

•Noche de los Mayas Comienza y termina un episodio más tranquilo en medio del movimiento.

•Noche de los Jarana es más alegre, ambientado sobre un ritmo de baile.

•Noche de Yucatán es una pieza tranquila de “música nocturna” con toques de oscuridad.

•Noche de encantamiento Es donde Limantour libera todo el conjunto de percusión. La mayor parte del movimiento es una serie de variaciones sobre un tema escuchado en la apertura.

El movimiento de apertura, Noche de los Mayas, comienza con una fanfarria amenazadora: la “música de película” de los años 30 del tipo más dramático. A esto le sigue un episodio más relajado y una música tranquilamente repetitiva de instrumentos de viento que evoca melodías indígenas. El movimiento termina con una repetición de la música de apertura. Noche de los Jarana es un scherzo mucho más ligero. (Jarana

es jerga para una fiesta de borrachos.) El frenético movimiento hacia adelante nunca se detiene, mientras la música revolotea entre varios metros. Las cuerdas actúan como cronometradores, mientras los metales y los instrumentos de viento madera intercalan ideas contrastantes: un lúgubre llamado de caracola de la tuba, un breve intento de alterar el ritmo de las cuerdas y un baile ligeramente borracho pero rápido de los metales. Noche de Yucatán comienza con música lírica y a veces tensa, que evoca la jungla circundante. Esto es interrumpido brevemente por un corto interludio para flauta solista y tambores: una melodía indígena tomada prestada por Revueltas. El estado de ánimo inicial regresa, pero se hace añicos por un repentino crujido de percusión que inicia el último movimiento, Noche de encantamiento El oboe presenta un tema utilizado a lo largo del movimiento, seguido de una respuesta airada de las cuerdas y los metales. El resto del movimiento es un conjunto de cuatro variaciones cada vez más feroces del tema inicial, dominadas enteramente por la percusión. Estas partes de percusión, destinadas a sonar improvisadas, fueron agregadas por Limantour y no forman parte de la partitura original de la película de Revueltas. El movimiento termina con una coda salvaje.
