WELCOME

Throughout history, the arts have helped humanity translate experiences when words alone do not suffice.

The arts have been, and continue to be, present when we need them the most. Orchestral music and Opera hold a moment in time and tell rich and moving stories that resonate with new and long-time listeners alike. Music is in our collective past, present, and future.

Steven Brosvik President & CEO

During this unique time in our history, Utah Symphony | Utah Opera has found creative ways to continue connecting our community through great music.

Your support helped us initiate safely distanced live performances from September through November, pivot to streamed performances when our venues were closed to live audiences in December, and create new online music education offerings distributed throughout our state via the Utah Education Network. This moment will reaffirm that, even (perhaps especially) in times of turmoil, we all recognize the importance of preserving our access to the arts. This season would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of the community leaders and donors recognized in the donor pages of this program.

Another important pillar of our community has stepped forward to help us deepen and broaden our support to ensure that USUO can continue to create great music well into the future. All new and increased contributions received through May 1, 2021, will be matched 1:1 by the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Foundation. With this announcement, the Foundation Trustees express optimism for a bright future filled with uplifting musical experiences, and encourage the community at large to participate with them in supporting Utah Symphony | Utah Opera. Please visit usuo.org/donate to learn more.

While our world has changed, the power of music and its vital place in our lives has not. Thank you for joining us today to demonstrate the importance of USUO in your life.

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

By Micheal Clive

Joseph Haydn (1732–1809)

Symphony No. 30 in C major, “Alleluia” When it comes to symphonies, music scholars love numerology. Is a symphony “early,” “middle” or “late”? And what about “enneaphobia,” the symphonists’ jinx associated with the number nine?

Well, that’s an affliction of post-Beethoven symphonists. But even for earlier composers, the preoccupation with numbers can be misleading. In the case of Haydn, who wrote one hundred and four symphonies in his long and productive career, it’s tempting to estimate a given symphony’s place in his oeuvre based on number. But usually, it’s best not to try it.

Unlike his contemporary Mozart, Haydn did not start composing symphonies until he was a fully mature artist, so his first symphonies can’t accurately be called “early” works. Once he started, they became an important form for him—an ideally creative way to showcase his patrons’ court orchestras and his own talents. Considering their artistic merit and their degree of innovation, he produced them at an astonishing rate. He wrote the Symphony No. 30 at age 33, when he was employed by the prestigious Esterházy court, one year before he became music director there. The symphony may well have been written for performance on Easter Sunday of 1765. Its nickname comes from the inclusion of a plainchant

UTAHSYMPHONY.ORG

(801) 533-NOTE

alleluia, which would have been familiar to listeners in Haydn’s day.

It’s more interesting to speculate about the home key of this symphony, C major, though here, too, the musicologist’s eternal hunt for significance can be misleading. We frequently read of certain keys being bright, dark, tragic, cheerful, lively, portentous and the like. But these designations are no longer audible in the modern era, now that the evolution of the well-tempered tuning system has brought aural equality to every key we hear. In his indispensable book This Is Your Brain on Music, the neuroscientist and music scholar Daniel J. Levitin demonstrates why keys no longer have inherent “meaning.” But they did have meaning in Haydn’s day, when tuning was more highly variable and blown instruments were less technically advanced. Certain keys were better suited to certain artistic ends and instrumental ranges, and Haydn often reserved C major for profound religious statements in works such as his late, great oratorio The Creation—and in the Symphony No. 30.

Do you hear an Easter-worthy statement of faith in this symphony? The alleluia chant is less recognizable to us today; it is introduced early (and in C) by the voice of the oboe joined by violins and horns, then continues in a simple upward modulation to G. A second melodic subject is a variation of this chant. In the final movement, marked tempo di menuet (a triple rhythm), Haydn treats us to

19

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

delightfully crafted instrumental passages that take us through F major and A minor.

Like C major, these are elementally simple keys that suggested spiritual profundity in his era. To bring this beautiful symphony to a close, he returns us to that original key of religious affirmation, C major.

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958)

The Lark Ascending, Romance for Violin and Orchestra Instrumentation: 2 flutes, oboe, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons; 2 horns; strings; percussion; solo violin.

It may seem shocking to compare Ralph Vaughan Williams’ sylvan tone poem The Lark Ascending to the erotically sensual Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun by Claude Debussy. But before calling for your intrepid annotator’s resignation, consider how much we can learn from the similarities between these two works.

Composed two decades apart—the Debussy in 1894, the Vaughan Williams in 1914—each captures a distinctively national style at a time when English and French composers were searching for paths of escape from the harmonic experiments of Viennese and German composers. In two brief orchestral works evoking wordless creatures in nature, Debussy and Vaughan Williams capture the essence of French and English cultural

20

traditions, showing a way forward for the composers of their respective countries.

What sounds sublimely simple and inevitable in The Lark Ascending is a melodic voice that is like England’s green and pleasant countryside distilled in music.

The style is informed by the traditions of English folk songs, which Vaughan Williams studied throughout his long career, and English lyric poetry, which the Cambridgeeducated composer read with an expert eye. If a Hollywood scriptwriter had to invent a musician for Vaughan Williams’s chosen task, the result would surely have been the resolute Ralph, whose terribly English family had many eminent jurists on one side and the Wedgwood pottery dynasty on the other.

Though the artistic Wedgwoods encouraged young Ralph’s interest in music with early instruction in theory, violin and piano, he was far from a prodigy; he struggled with his musical development, and in his Cambridge years described his own technical abilities as mediocre. But writing in the authoritative Grove, musicologist Hugh Ottaway ascribes Vaughan Williams’ difficulties mainly to his struggle to find a distinctive voice for himself and for British music.

Ottaway dates the turning point to 1910, when Vaughan Williams stunned his colleagues with the Fantasia on a Theme

by Thomas Tallis. The equally epochal The Lark Ascending came four years later.

The Lark Ascending is based on an important poem of that title by George

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

Meredith dating from 1881. No less an eminence than the great World War I poet Siegfried Sassoon found “supreme” merits in the 122-line Meredith work, which invests allegorical meaning in the soaring, egoless flight of the lark over increasingly mechanized English farmland. But where Meredith’s rhyming couplets are often freighted with heavyweight poetic description, Vaughan Williams accomplishes something quite different. His music does not describe the flight of the lark; it is the flight of the lark. In the century since the premiere of Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending in the Bristol town of Shirehampton, it has far surpassed its source in renown.

Arnold Schoenberg (1874–1951)

Chamber Symphony No. 1 Born in 1874, Schoenberg composed in the intellectual hothouse that was turn-of-the-century Vienna. Early in his career he explored ways of extending the romantic styles of Wagner and Brahms, who were considered antagonists by their contemporaries. But in fin-de-siècle Vienna there was a sense that more than just the century was ending; to many thinkers, traditional ideas about art and music seemed headed for a dead end.

What more did traditional harmony and melody have to offer a world about to begin the 20th century?

UTAHSYMPHONY.ORG

/

(801) 533-NOTE

As the acknowledged leader of the Second Viennese School, Schoenberg would become famous for a controversial new compositional method in the 1920s that came to be known as “twelvetone technique”—replacing traditional scales with the entire chromatic scale, unanchored by any particular “home” tone, and not reliant upon familiar intervals or harmonies. His groundbreaking ideas, which inspired passionate advocacy and opposition, still strike fear into some listeners…at least by reputation.

To some listeners, Schoenberg’s later compositions represent something frightening: the onset of a modern style of music that eclipses the familiar rules of melody and harmony. (It is often described as “atonal,” a term Schoenberg rejected.) The fact is, we all take more extreme musical styles in stride when we hear them in today’s movies and television shows. The turning point for Schoenberg came in 1899, with the introduction of his shimmeringly beautiful string sextet Verklärte Nacht, with the new century approaching and the Habsburg empire collapsing. It was Schoenberg’s first major composition, but one of the last that would locate him in the late romantic tradition of Brahms, Wagner, Richard Strauss, and his teacher, Alexander Zemlinsky.

Composed in 1906, Schoenberg’s first chamber symphony is catalogued as Op. 6, making it an early work, but one step further along the road in his development;

21

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM

in fact, it was part of the famous “Skandalkonzert” of 1913, conducted by Schoenberg and programmed entirely of works by the Second Viennese School.

That concert nickname tells us something about how his contemporary listeners reacted, though modern listeners hear the musical vocabulary of Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler in this work and his others of its period. In fact, the symphony is built around recognizable melodies, or on what might be termed “motivic gestures” depending on how you listen; and though its tonality wanders adventurously, tonality is there to be heard, with a “home key” of E major.

themes return in a more reflective form.

The melancholy fourth section that follows has been described as “Mahlerian,” but its introspection contrasts dramatically with an effervescent finale.

Now, then. Who’s afraid of Arnold Schoenberg? We aren’t!

More daring than the symphony’s harmonic adventurism, perhaps, is Schoenberg’s incredible economy of means. With scoring of brilliant deftness and compactness of structure, this chamber symphony, with its single movement and relatively small ensemble, achieves a hugely expressive sound and a sense of completeness that much largerscaled symphonies often don’t. Modern critics hear it as a reaction against the monumentality of Mahler’s symphonies and Strauss’s immensely complex orchestrations; in fact, Schoenberg has been hailed as one of the greatest orchestrators of all time.

The symphony’s single movement leads us through five sections. A slow introduction opens onto to a brisk march, and then a fast-paced scherzo takes us to a slower third section in which the original

PLANNED GIVING

SUPPORT GREAT LIVE MUSIC IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH A GIFT TO THE ANNUAL FUND Please join our wonderful Utah Symphony | Utah Opera family of donors who sustain great live music in our community. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, USUO is thankful for your generosity that supports our musicians, singers, artisans, crew and staff. Your gift now will make an impact as we plan for the future.

The CARES Act has enacted new rules around charitable giving. The bill makes a new charitable deduction available for up to $300 per taxpayer, regardless of whether you itemize your deductions. Furthermore, if you do itemize, you may elect to deduct qualified contributions of up to 100% of your adjusted gross income in 2020. Please consult your tax advisor or financial planner to determine the impact of CARES Act changes on your personal tax situation.

CONSIDER USUO IN YOUR ESTATE PLANNING We never know what the future holds, but our eyes have been opened to how crucial planning ahead is. The pandemic has caused many of us to contemplate our legacy, assess our priorities, and plan for the future. Perhaps now more than ever, we recognize how important and meaningful it is to have a place where we can gather as a community to be uplifted and inspired by great music. If you want to ensure the future legacy of Utah Symphony | Utah Opera for future audiences to enjoy, please include USUO in your estate planning.

UTAH SYMPHONY GUILD OUR MISSION

Because we believe great music can elevate the human spirit, the purpose of the Guild is to foster, promote, and facilitate the operation of the Utah Symphony Orchestra financially, socially, and educatonally.

It is our honor to maintain a gift shop throughout the year which raises funds for our orchestra. We have added all our available items to the “online store” and all proceeds go to USUO. We will continue adding events as social distancing requirements allow to aid in rasing funds for our great orchestra.

We will sponsor the Youth Guild and outreach violin lessons again this season, and we appreciate your ongoing support of these important community programs.

To join or renew your membership in the guild you may go to our web page and fill out the new members information. www.utahsymphonyguild.org Carolyn Abravanel Eva-Maria Adolphi Wendy Ajax Fran & Tom Akimoto Georgia L.
