Welcome Dear Friends: Welcome to OSBA’s 2015–2016 season in the newly remodeled Browning Center! There’s nothing better than seeing one of these concerts or ballets LIVE. For 65 years we have presented these concerts in Ogden for northern Utah audiences. Thank you, thank you to the hundreds of people who have been instrumental in that longevity: the visionaries who saw the need beginning back in 1950; the faithful patrons; the donors who have contributed large and small amounts every year; and the volunteers who have given countless hours of service to OSBA. Look at all that is scheduled for this year: ♫ Utah Symphony Masterworks Series - four inspiring concerts ♫ Utah Symphony Entertainment Series - four diverse concerts sure to entertain ♫ Utah Symphony Family Series - entertainment for the entire family times three ♫ Ballet West - “The Nutcracker” with the entire troupe and “Beauty and the Beast” with Ballet West II dancers ♫ BYU Ballroom Dance Company is back by popular demand ♫ “5 Carols for Christmas and Jingle Jacks” written by Jim Christian and Ken Plain Just a reminder about OSBA: • We are a non-profit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax designation.

• We contract with Utah Symphony | Utah Opera, Ballet West, and other groups and pay for their Ogden performances held at Weber State’s Browning Center. We do not receive proceeds of fund raising efforts held by any of those organizations.

• Ticket revenue pays about 45% of the cost of the concerts. The balance comes from donations made by individuals, businesses, foundations, and city, state, and local governments, including the RAMP tax initiative.

• Besides the concerts, OSBA also supports: Educational and community outreach programs Youth Guild for the Performing Arts “The Ride” for seniors living in Weber County Informal “Conversations” prior to the Classical Series concerts

BACKGROUND

Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet is the most popular, enduring and influential of all love stories—a sweeping claim and difficult to prove, but also irrefutable common sense. This tragic romance gives us the world’s paradigmatic “star-crossed lovers”—a phrase that originates in Shakespeare’s prologue to the play. Musicologists tell us that there are about 75 versions of Romeo and Juliet’s story in the opera literature alone (with only those by Bellini and Gounod in the standard repertory). In ballet, Prokofiev’s setting stands apart as the great musical narrative of the story, but Tchaikovsky’s tone poem, condensed and moody, is also effective when danced. These quintessential young lovers have invaded every form and style of art. No genre is exempt—not even rock, which gave us Bob Hamilton and Freddie Gorman’s song “Just Like Romeo and Juliet,” a hit single for The Reflections in 1964.

Like those of his compatriots Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky, Prokofiev’s great ballet scores, Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella, work as abstract music in the concert hall without the benefit of dance or text. But just a glance at the names of the

18

dances is enough to remind us of Prokofiev’s greatness as a storyteller; the music compels us with the ebbs and flows of the unseen story as well as its sheer beauty. Prokofiev’s narrative powers can come as a bit of a shock to some American listeners, because the quirks of history have tended to fragment our view of his talents, especially during the Cold War. Prokofiev and Igor Stravinsky were the two giants of Russian classical music born in the last quarter of the 19th century; to their names we can add Sergei Rachmaninoff, born in 1873, perhaps the last of the late Romantics; and Dmitri Shostakovich, born in 1906. All were virtuoso pianists; all survived Russia’s Bolshevik revolution and faced state mediation of their artistic lives in the USSR, where artistic expression—like pretty much everything else— was considered an instrumentality of the state.

Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky lived and died as expatriates; Prokofiev, though he traveled extensively outside Russia, returned there.

For Shostakovich, who was denounced by the Kremlin after the success of his satirical opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, the attempt to leave Russia might well have meant death for the composer and his family.

In the decades after their deaths, their respective reputations in the West seemed to have settled into a consistent hierarchy, like the finish of a musical horserace—with the aristocratic Stravinsky, authoritative and statesmanlike, ahead of the rest. He is followed by Prokofiev and Shostakovich in second and third places, and with the melancholy Rachmaninoff in a luxurious but uncomfortable niche of his own.

(He died in his adopted state of California after a disappointing piano tour of the U.S.) Looking beyond the pointlessness of viewing music as

801.399.9214 [ symphonyballet.org ]

Notes on the Program a competition, it’s no coincidence that their stature corresponded to the amount of time they spent away from the homeland. According to prevailing wisdom, the cosmopolitan Stravinsky bestrode the various styles of 20th-century music and all that came before it; Prokofiev’s music, brash and avant-garde in his youth, settled into a more dignified maturity; and Shostakovich, with his own and his family’s survival at stake in the Stalinist regime, was forced by the USSR’s cultural bureaucracy to compromise his art. But that way of thinking unexpectedly changed in the late 1970s, and has been unsettled since.

The music of Prokofiev and Shostakovich and their relationship with the Soviet cultural apparatus had to be reconsidered when Shostakovich’s shocking memoir, Testimony, was spirited into the West and published in translation by a colleague of Shostakovich’s, the musicologist Solomon Volkov in 1979. The controversy surrounding this volume not only forced us to reevaluate Shostakovich’s most important compositions, but also revealed that even Prokofiev’s admirers tend to know only a part of his musical output, as if there were three Prokofievs: the master of the piano who wrote some of the most important piano concertos and sonatas of the 20th century; the sophisticated, lapidary symphonist; and the theatrical composer whose riveting narrative compositions—such as the ballets Romeo and Juliet and Cinderella and the operas War and Peace, The Gambler, The Love for Three Oranges—are acknowledged for their greatness but rarely seen on American stages. Since its premiere in 1936, Prokofiev’s charming Peter and the Wolf has been presented in the U.S. far more often than any of his other works.

The prodigiously gifted Prokofiev earned a reputation as something of a musical firebrand

801.399.9214 [ symphonyballet.org ]

early in life. Just a year after beginning his formal music training at age 11 with the eminent Ukrainian-born composer Reinhold Glière, he entered the Moscow Conservatory; his written recollections of this period, as well as his early compositions, suggest that Prokofiev was not a troublemaker, but possessed a musical mind that was questing and eager to experiment with new trends in tonality, harmony and rhythm. In his “Classical” Symphony, written when he was 25, we hear both his mastery of the past (it is considered an homage to Haydn) and his eagerness for the future. By then, Prokofiev had already earned a reputation as a rising young composer. He had signed a contract with the music publisher Boris P. Jurgenson five years earlier, and at age 22 had traveled to London and Paris.

Nine years younger than Stravinsky, he met Stravinsky’s patron Diaghilev in London and composed several short ballet scores for him; the following year, Stravinsky’s association with Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes would catapult the older composer to international notoriety after the Paris premiere of The Rite of Spring.

Musicologists are puzzled as to why Prokofiev was allowed to travel so freely, and why he chose to return. And while there is plenty of background commentary to analyze, most of it fails to consider the depth of the attachment that Russian artists seem to feel for their homeland; all too often, if they cannot be happy there, neither can they be happy anywhere else. For us, in listening to Romeo and Juliet, Prokofiev’s travels in the early 1920s crucially gave him experience to draw upon in composing this ballet score more than a decade later.

He completed most of it in 1935. The ballet was composed based on a synopsis by Adrian Piotrovsky and Sergey Radlov.

Notes on the Program WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

One reason for the stunning effectiveness of the Romeo and Juliet score is Prokofiev’s superb mastery in balancing lyricism and tension.

The melodic appeal, the romanticism, and the sensuality of young love never flag throughout the ballet. Yet there is a sense of foreboding and darkness, too.

It might have wound up a bit less dark, but things did not go exactly as planned for the composer. As work proceeded on Romeo and Juliet, the Soviet government’s tyrannical mediation of staged musical events could not have been more ominous to its creators. Their original scenario included a happy ending—a departure from Shakespeare’s original storyline that may have been invented on the tenuous assumption that love’s triumph would be deemed more beneficial to the Soviet people than tragedy and death. The atmosphere was tense in anticipation of the ballet’s eventual staging, and led to Radlov’s departure from the Kirov Ballet in 1934. When a new agreement was reached for a production at the Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre, the closest thing to a state concert hall, even the scenario’s happy ending provoked controversy among government’s artistic watchdogs.

In 1936, when the famous Pravda editorials condemning Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District were published, the tensions rose still further. The eminent music historian Joseph Horowitz has reconstructed concert programs that include the original score, with Romeo and Juliet joyfully reunited. Whether this approach is as convincing as the more familiar tragic ending is up to the individual listener. In his autobiography, Prokofiev notes: “There was quite a fuss at the time about our attempts to give Romeo and Juliet a happy

20

ending…the reasons for this bit of barbarism were purely choreographic: living people can dance, the dying cannot. But what really caused me to change my mind about the whole thing was a remark someone made to me about the ballet: ‘Strictly speaking, your music does not express any real joy at the end.’ That was quite true. After several conferences with the choreographers, it was found that the tragic ending could be expressed in the dance and in due time the music for that ending was written.”

Not until 1938 was the ballet finally premiered in Brno, Czechoslovakia—without fanfare, but now recomposed with a tragic ending that conforms more closely to Shakespeare’s. The Russian premiere was held at the Kirov Theater in 1940.

Listeners will recognize Prokofiev’s now-familiar rhythmic pliancy and the vivid, almost visceral physicality of this music, along with a plangent sound that makes it sound antique, modern and timeless all at once. His inclusion of unexpected instruments, combining the old and the new—tenor saxophone, cornet, viola d’amore, mandolin—creates an aural curtain that hangs like a palace tapestry.

The magnificent Russian prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, who created the role of Juliet, commented in her own memoirs that at the time they were learning the choreography, the love music in Romeo and Juliet did not seem romantic to the dancers. To modern listeners, there is no more compelling representation of love’s realities, its physical ardor and emotional torment, than this ballet. The balcony scene is one of the most romantic moments in music— Prokofiev’s uncanny musical rendition of the line “It is the East, and Juliet is the sun.”

A Tribute to Sharon Macfarlane

Thank You for 15 Years!

After fifteen years of devoted service, Sharon Macfarlane is retiring from her position as Executive Director of the Ogden Symphony Ballet Association. Her dedication to the community and her love for the arts has been remarkable, and she will be greatly missed.

Under Sharon’s careful direction, the OSBA has thrived, presenting 184 Utah Symphony performances, 70 Ballet West shows, 10 performances by BYU groups, 7 Jim Christian productions and 4 Utah Opera productions. She secured crucial grants, sponsorships and individual donations to ensure the viability of the organization during the recession. She also oversaw numerous summer garden parties, golf tournaments, galas, fundraising drives, and committee meetings.

Through it all, Sharon exemplified grace and professionalism. Her colleagues describe her as “kind,” “attentive,” “community-minded,” and someone who consistently goes above and beyond. As a recent feature in Focus magazine relayed, Sharon “embodies personal humility while tenaciously holding on to her professional will for the OSBA. She understands and values her teammates, the board of directors, the sponsors and the donors.”

In addition to her work at OSBA, Sharon has volunteered for the McKay-Dee Foundation and the American Red Cross. She has also been active in the Ogden chapter of the Rotary Club.

In 2007, she received the Spirit of the American Woman Award

by Your Community Connection; in 2011, she was awarded the Mayor’s Award in Arts for the Humanities, and in 2015, she was honored by the Friends of Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts and Humanities with the Arts and Humanities Association Award.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Sharon is loved by all who know her: in fact, her young granddaughter once asked if she was famous because she had noticed that everyone recognized and spoke to Sharon wherever they went in Ogden.

Sharon, thank you for your committed service. We love you. We will miss you at OSBA. And we wish you all the best for your future!
