e constructed this world-class concert hall to serve the people of Middle Tennessee for the next 300 years. It’s my goal to ensure that it lasts at least that long.

It’s been more than a month since Schermerhorn Symphony Center re-opened, and every day I feel incredibly grateful to be back in our beautiful building. The concert hall is once again buzzing with activity, thanks to your support and encouragement, thanks to the tireless work of our musicians and staff, and thanks to the remarkable professionalism and dedication of our rebuilding team led by American Constructors, Inc. As any of you who were affected by the May flood know, it’s a devastating experience to have your home damaged or destroyed by water.

So we’ve gone to great lengths to prevent a disaster of this scale from ever happening again at the Schermerhorn. During the reconstruction process, we consulted with a team of hydrologists, civil engineers and structural engineers to make a number of improvements to the building. These include redesigning our sump pump system, which now has 10 times its previous pumping capacity. We’ve also added critical equipment to our emergency power system, added and widened doorways in the basement, and placed major pieces of kitchen equipment on casters — all of which will make it much easier to evacuate the basement in the event of a flood.

In addition, our experience of the past few months has given us an opportunity to rethink our flood emergency plan. From now on, we’ll be able to use a groundwater monitoring system and an automated alarm system, along with weather and geological data, to anticipate the possibility of flooding before a drop of water ever trickles into the building.

We feel remarkably lucky that the Schermerhorn didn’t experience any structural damage during the flood, and these improvements will go a long way toward keeping the building sturdy and sound. We constructed this world-class concert hall to serve the people of Middle Tennessee for the next 300 years. It’s my goal to ensure that it lasts at least that long.

It takes a world-class orchestra to perform in a world-class concert hall, and this month we’re especially proud of Giancarlo Guerrero and our musicians, whose recording of Michael Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony has been nominated for five GRAMMY® Awards — more than any other classical disc this year. We’ll find out if we’re winners on February 13, when President and CEO Alan Valentine and I will be in Los Angeles for the awards ceremony.

Thank you for attending tonight’s concert, and thank you for being such an important part of the Nashville Symphony. Without your support, we wouldn’t have made it through the flood, and we wouldn’t have achieved our many successes!

ladySMith blaCk MaMbazo briNG their Spirited SouNdS to the SCherMerhorN We’re pleased to announce that legendary South African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo will return to Schermerhorn Symphony Center for a special appearance on Monday, March 14.

Known for melding the harmonies and rhythms of their native land with the spirit of gospel music, the group has been an active force for more than four decades. In addition to being featured on their own recordings and on Paul Simon’s 1986 album Graceland, they’ve been heard on releases by Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder and Emmylou Harris, and on the soundtrack of such films as Disney’s The Lion King and Cry the Beloved Country.

When they perform at the Schermerhorn next month, Ladysmith will highlight songs from their newly released Songs From a Zulu Farm, the first volume in a trilogy of recordings that share their life experiences. This concert will be presented without orchestra. Tickets are available now at NashvilleSymphony.org, by calling 615.687.6400 or by visiting the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Box Office.

ChoruS MeMberS lift their voiCeS for ‘live iN Studio C’ Audiences across the nation heard the Nashville Symphony over the airwaves last month, when NPR featured the orchestra’s January 6 performance at the Schermerhorn as part of its “Classics in Concert” series. Now this month, local audiences have a chance to hear the Nashville Symphony Chamber Chorus performing on WPLN-FM’s popular Live in Studio C program.

To be broadcast live at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, February 23, via WPLN’s HD2 channel, the NSCC’s on-air performance will offer listeners a preview of the Voices of Spring choral concert, taking place March 6 at the Schermerhorn. Chorus Director George Mabry will lead the singers in performances of Vaughan Williams’ Antiphon, the folk song “Black Sheep,” and Mabry’s own settings of O Magnum Mysterium and Emily Dickinson’s “Heart, we will forget him.”

For listeners without HD radio, WPLN will repeat the program the following Sunday at 3 p.m. and Tuesday at 8 p.m. on its broadcast signal at 90.3 FM. For more information, visit WPLN.org.

Jeff Faust Something Comes

On your visit to the Schermerhorn, be sure to stop by the building’s East Lobby, site of our fine-dining restaurant Arpeggio — and an eye-catching art exhibit courtesy of Nashville’s Gallery One. For more than a year, the gallery has been providing a dynamic visual complement to the Schermerhorn’s musical and culinary offerings, notably in the form of vibrant drawings by Lori-Gene that capture the energy of live musical performance. In addition to her work, viewers can take in art by California-based painter Jeff Faust, whose surrealistic tableaux incorporate images of birds and feathers into mysterious still lifes and landscapes, and Kentucky-based Patrick Adams, whose oil paintings transform landscape scenes into vivid abstract studies.

According to gallery owner Shelley McBurney, the idea for exhibiting artworks at the Schermerhorn originated from a conversation with Nashville Symphony President and CEO Alan Valentine. In their respective endeavors, both were struck by the fact that patrons of the performing and visual arts tend to share similar interests. “[The exhibit] is a nice collaboration and a mutual recognition that art — be it visual, performance, or otherwise — is important to the cultural life of the city,” McBurney recently told The Tennessean.

Works by other Gallery One artists will be on view at the Schermerhorn in the future, as the gallery switches out the exhibit periodically. Many thanks to Gallery One for loaning these works, and for adding an extra bit of flair to our building! For more information about the gallery, call 615.352.3006 or visit GalleryOne.biz.

Cassandra Lee Clarinet Hometown: Knoxville, Tennessee Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 1979 Everyone knows about what happened to the Schermerhorn in the flood last May, but you were also affected personally. What happened? It’s still very surreal to me — it seems like it happened years ago, and it seems like it happened yesterday. I was in my home when the water started coming in, and I was so stunned that I couldn’t move for about 15 minutes. I just watched my rugs start to float. One of my clarinets was sitting on the floor completely submerged, and that’s what got me out of my stupor. I had less than a foot of water in my house, but I still had to do a total interior renovation. All of the floors came up, and most of the walls came down. I was out of my house for six-and-a-half months.

How do you feel now that you’ve emerged from the experience of being flooded at home and at the Schermerhorn? It’s life-changing to have this double whammy, and I’ve learned how much I appreciate what we have here, in every way — the hall, the backstage, everything. I appreciate my colleagues in the Symphony more. Quite a few of them came and did every kind of thing in the world to help me. I appreciate my own home and my own neighborhood more, and I feel very lucky because I have flood insurance. I read in the paper about all the people who didn’t have insurance, who didn’t get much FEMA help and who were already struggling, and I just feel so lucky.

Do you have a favorite composer? Mozart.

Is there a piece of music you’ve always wanted to perform? Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto — it’s the piece. When I was 13 years old, my brother brought home a recording of the Clarinet Concerto. I heard it, and I decided right then that I was going to be a clarinet player.

You also teach at Blair School of Music. What influence has that had on your work as a musician?

I’ve been teaching for 30 years. When you’re going through the literature with students and you’re talking to them about the intricacies of how to approach their instrument and the music, you’re all the time asking yourself, “Do I do all these things I’m telling the student to do?” Teaching makes me a better player, and playing makes me a better teacher.

What do you like to do when you’re not working? I love to read, and I love yard work.

Who’s your favorite author? James A. Michener.

What would you be doing if you weren’t a professional musician and a teacher? I would be in some kind of science — maybe archaeology — or I would be a basketball coach.

about the artists KURT ELLING Kurt Elling is among the world’s foremost jazz vocalists. He has been named Male Singer of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association on half a dozen occasions in the past 10 years, and during the same interval he has been the perennial winner of the DownBeat Critics Poll. He is also a GRAMMY® winner, and every record he has made has been GRAMMY® nominated.

In 2010, Elling staged Passion World, a commissioned event for Jazz at Lincoln Center with French accordion virtuoso Richard Galliano, in which he sang songs of love and loss in four languages. He also completed an extensive tour with the Monterey Jazz Festival All-Stars. The Gate, Elling’s new studio recording for Concord Records with renowned producer Don Was, will be released in February 2011.

Elling’s rich baritone spans four octaves and features both astonishing technical mastery and emotional depth. His command of rhythm, texture, phrasing and dynamics is more like a virtuoso jazz instrumentalist than a lling takes us vocalist. His repertoire includes original compositions and modern into a world of interpretations of standards, all of which are springboards for inspired improvisation, scatting, spoken word and poetry. sacred particulars.

The New York Times called Elling “the standout male vocalist His words are of our time,” and The Washington Post declared that no singer in jazz informed by since the mid-1990s has been “as daring, dynamic or interesting as Kurt Elling. With his soaring vocal flights, his edgy lyrics and sense of being a powerful on a musical mission, he has come to embody the creative spirit in jazz.” poetic spirit.

Elling has been featured in profiles for CBS Sunday Morning and CNN, as well as on Ramsey Lewis’s Legends of Jazz and in hundreds of publications.

Elling has recorded and performed with an array of artists including Terence Blanchard, Dave Brubeck, Jon Hendricks, Charlie Hunter, Al Jarreau, Christian McBride and Kurt Rosenwinkel. He served as artist-in-residence for the Singapore Music and Monterey Jazz festivals. He has also written multi-disciplinary works for Steppenwolf Theatre Company and the City of Chicago. The Obama Administration’s first state dinner featured Elling in a command performance.

Elling is a renowned artist of vocalese — the writing and performing of words over recorded improvised jazz solos. The natural heir to jazz pioneers Eddie Jefferson, King Pleasure and Jon Hendricks, Elling has set his own lyrics to the improvised solos of Wayne Shorter, Keith Jarrett and Pat Metheny. He often incorporates images and references from writers such as Rilke, Rumi, Neruda and Proust into his work. The distinguished poet Robert Creeley wrote that Elling “takes us into a world of sacred particulars. His words are informed by a powerful poetic spirit.”

including Al Jarreau, Boz Scaggs and Sergio Mendes.

Born to parents of Polynesian descent, Catingub is the son of the great jazz vocalist Mavis Rivers. As a young man, he played a variety of instruments, from piano to clarinet, but he began a lifetime love affair with the alto saxophone at the age of 16. He joined the Louie Bellson Big Band in 1979, and just a few months later his composition “Explosion!” was recorded on Bellson’s album Dynamite for Concord Jazz, thus launching Catingub’s reputation as an innovative big band arranger/ composer and alto sax soloist.

Beginning in 1983, he recorded several critically acclaimed jazz albums for the SeaBreeze label, including My Mommy and Me, heralded as “one of the best big band records in years!” For High Tech Big Band, Catingub played every instrument himself and created a big band sound using the latest in technology — a feat still recognized as a technical hallmark in recorded music.

During this same period, Catingub was asked to lead the jazz ensembles program at the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles. He also accepted the position of director of the New Zealand Youth Jazz Orchestra, holding this post from 198590. As part of his expanding involvement with music education, Catingub became a clinician for Yamaha, for whom he still regularly performs in concert and conducts clinics.

he program begins with the Overture to Orpheus in the Underworld (Orphée aux Enfers) by Jacques Offenbach. Though inspired by the tragic story of Orpheus and his lost love, Eurydice, Offenbach’s two-act operetta is a comedy that spoofs the cultural trends and public figures of 1850s Paris. The lighthearted spirit of the work can be heard in the deliberately overheated Overture, which features timpani with feverish strings, a fanciful woodwind interlude and a rather syrupy violin solo. The rambunctious “infernal galop” from the operetta’s second act makes a featured appearance in the Overture — audiences will recognize it as the familiar music of the cancan. The Symphony offers a more sentimental take on love with Richard Rodgers’s “My Funny Valentine.” Like so many jazz standards, the song was born in the musical theater: It was composed for Babes in Arms, a 1937 musical with a score by Rodgers and Lorenz Hart.

Recordings by Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra and Miles Davis established its status as a classic.

Tributes to two legendary composers round out the Symphony’s portion of the program. “Duke Ellington Fantasy” is composer/arranger Ralph Hermann’s homage to the premier master of jazz. Ellington may be treasured for his swing, but his oeuvre is rich with romance in songs like “Mood Indigo,” “Sophisticated Lady” and “In a Sentimental Mood.” In a very different vein, “Viva Puccini,” an arrangement

by Robert Wendel, celebrates the immortal works of 19th-century Italian composer Giacomo Puccini.

Puccini’s Tosca, Madama Butterfly, La bohème and Turandot are among the most frequently performed operas, and their signature arias are known and loved around the world. “Viva Puccini” features some of the composer’s best-loved melodies, including “O mio babbino caro,” “Musetta’s Waltz” and “Nessun dorma.”

Gladys Knight will bring an artistry all her own to the second half of the program. In a career that stretches back to the 1960s, when she was just a teenager, Knight has enjoyed a reputation as a performer of exceptional warmth and extraordinary talent. With a body of work — both as a solo performer and with her early backup group, The Pips — that consists of numerous hit albums and singles, Knight is major figure in American pop music. Though it would be impossible for her to survey her long career in a single evening, she’s sure to perform wonderful songs like “If I Were Your Woman,” “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me” and “Midnight Train to Georgia” — romantic favorites that will make the evening a perfect celebration of Valentine’s Day. — Maria Browning is pops program annotator for the Nashville Symphony.

about the artists GLADYS KNIGHT The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last 50 years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time GRAMMY® winner has enjoyed No. 1 hits on the pop, R&B and Adult Contemporary charts, and has triumphed in film, television and live performance.

Georgia-born, Knight began performing gospel music at age 4 in the Mount Mariah Baptist Church and sang as a guest soloist with the Morris Brown College Choir. Three years later, she won the grand prize on Ted Mack’s The Original Amateur Hour. The following year, Knight, her brother Bubba, her sister Brenda, and her cousins William and Elenor Guest formed The Pips. In 1959, Brenda and Elenor left the group and were replaced by cousin Edward Patten and friend Langston George.

The group was renamed Gladys Knight & The Pips, and following George’s departure in 1962, the classic lineup was in place. f ebruary

Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years, including four solo albums during the past decade. Her involvement in other creative undertakings, business ventures and humanitarian activities has been extensive, and has brought her honors from industry and community alike.

In 1995, Knight earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and 1996, Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. Knight published an autobiography, Between Each Line of Pain and Glory (a line taken from her million-selling recording “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me”), in 1997. She and The Pips were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 1998.

A humanitarian and philanthropist, Knight has devoted herself to various worthy causes, including the American Diabetes Association, the American Cancer Society, the Minority AIDS Project, amFAR and Crisis Intervention. She has been honored by numerous organizations, including the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and B’Nai Brith. She is a recent recipient of BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Today, Knight helps oversee her busy career from the Las Vegas headquarters of Shakeji, Inc., her personal entertainment corporation. She is a mother, great-grandmother, performer and a businesswoman with a spiritual outlook on her life. Her faith in God has been the driving force behind all of her endeavors, guiding Knight through her many successes.

abOuT THe PrOGraM wolfGaNG aMadeuS Mozart born on January 27, 1756, in Salzburg, austria; died on December 5, 1791, in Vienna Overture to The Abduction from the Seraglio, K. 384 Mozart composed Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) between July 1781 and May 1782. Abduction was his first great success as an independent composer in Vienna and was the forerunner of a string of operatic masterpieces he would create in his final decade. The overture makes zestful use of “local color” to paint the Turkish setting in which the work unfolds.

WOlFgang aMadeus MOzart

first performance: The complete opera was first performed on July 16, 1782, at the Burgtheater in Vienna, with the composer conducting. first Nashville Symphony performance: March 30 & 31, 1964, at War Memorial auditorium with Music Director Willis Page. estimated length: 6 minutes recommended listening: Sir Colin Davis conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden in a delightful collection of Mozart overtures on Sony bMG. Mozart had made a risky bid for independence from his native Salzburg when he relocated, as a freelance artist, to the bustling capital city Vienna in 1781. His gamble paid off when he landed his first major project, a commission for the newly established National Singspiel. This company, founded in 1778 by the Habsburg Emperor Joseph II, was intended to encourage the development of Germanlanguage opera in the midst of the fashionable Italian style of the era.

Mozart was befriended by the company’s director, the fast-talking impresario Johann Gottlieb Stephanie, who arranged for him to set a preexisting libretto that Stephanie had retailored and expanded into Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio). The opera’s plot is a typical instance of 18th-century Europe’s ambivalent fascination with the exotic culture of the Near East. It involves the efforts of a European nobleman and his servant to liberate his betrothed, who has been captured by pirates and given over to the harem of the Pasha Selim. The latter, in a flattering depiction of an enlightened autocrat, ends up proving his benevolence and releases his captives.

In the Singspiel (literally, “sing-play”), which might be compared to an old-fashioned Broadway musical comedy, the action unfolds as a spoken play, with periodic pauses for musical numbers.

Mozart had relatively little previous experience in this genre but adopted an innovative approach, spinning what was meant as a lightweight entertainment into a score of richly varied emotions — and foreshadowing his Singspiel masterpiece of a decade later, The Magic Flute. With Abduction, Mozart enjoyed the greatest stage success of his life.

what to listen for The Overture revolves around a musical device that recurs throughout the opera to connote the Turkish environment. This is the so-called “janissary” orchestration we hear at the outset — the bright, piquant, martial sounds of piccolo, cymbals, triangles and bass drum — which, for Mozart’s contemporaries, suggested an Ottoman military band. In one of the regular reports on Abduction’s

progress Mozart sent to his father in Salzburg, he describes how the Turkish music shifts between loud and soft and major and minor: “Each forte produces some Turkish music and keeps modulating in this manner throughout — I venture to say you cannot fall asleep while it plays, even if you haven’t slept all night.”

The tempo slows for a central minor-key interlude, a lyrical lament suggesting the plight of the lovesick European separated from his fiancée. The high-spirited C major presto of the Turkish music returns to frame the Overture. In the opera, this subsides and segues directly into the first scene, but here the music is furnished with decisive final cadences.

The Overture is scored for piccolo, flute, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, cymbals, triangle, bass drum and strings.

JoSeph SChwaNtNer born on March 22, 1943, in Chicago; currently resides in Spofford, New Hampshire Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra Schwantner composed his Percussion Concerto in 1994 for Christopher Lamb, on a commission from the New york Philharmonic to celebrate its 150th anniversary. The Concerto sets up a dramatic relationship between the JOseph schWantner soloist and the orchestra, with the soloist presiding over a veritable miniorchestra of percussion instruments. Thanks to Schwantner’s vivid sense of timbre and texture, as well as the dazzling role played by the soloist, the Concerto has already become a repertory staple. first performance: January 6, 1995, with Christopher Lamb as soloist and Leonard Slatkin conducting the New york Philharmonic. first Nashville Symphony performance: November 22 & 23, 1996, at Tennessee Performing arts Center with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn and soloist Lamb. estimated length: 30 minutes recommended recording: This weekend’s performances are being recorded for a future release on Naxos. until then, we have Sony bMG’s 1997 recording with Leonard Slatkin conducting the National Symphony and soloist evelyn Glennie.

“Percussion music is revolution,” declared John Cage back in 1939. “Sound and rhythm have too long been submissive to the restrictions of 19th-century music.” While Schoenberg spoke of the “emancipation of the dissonance,” a significant strand of contemporary music arises from the emancipation of rhythm, timbre and sheer sonority. Joseph Schwantner began his career in the wake of Schoenberg’s ideas about harmonic structure, which by the postwar era had evolved into what is now known as “serialism.” Schwantner, however, soon turned toward a more personal style preoccupied with poetic textures and resonance.

A gift for orchestral color and unusual combinations of timbre permeates Schwantner’s music.

He uses these traits to articulate musical ideas rather than for mere effect. Schwantner’s work has something in common with the sensibility of contemporary American maverick George Crumb, while also evoking the radiance of Messiaen and the nuance and detail of both Debussy and Ravel. His work, which gravitates toward instrumental composition, has garnered a litany of awards, including the 1979 Pulitzer Prize for Music for the orchestral composition Aftertones of Infinity.

laStiNG iMpreSSioNS froM Childhood

The Percussion Concerto has enjoyed a particularly enthusiastic reception from audiences, and is one of the most frequently performed concert Joseph Schwantner likes to trace the overall works by a living American composer. Alternate character of his musical imagination back versions of the score for wind ensemble and for to all-important early impressions. for him, two pianos have also been published. The Concerto these were specifically connected with can be seen as part of a new wave of percussionhis first serious instrument, classical guitar, centered orchestral works over the past two decades which he took up at age 8. He points to his from a wide range of contemporary composers, “preoccupation with color” as well as his including Jennifer Higdon, Tan Dun, Chen Yi and preference for “sharply articulated ideas” James MacMillan (whose Veni, Veni, Emmanuel, as characteristics which playing the guitar a percussion concerto from 1992, is scheduled for reinforced and which later shaped his next month’s concerts). musical thinking in mature pieces such Schwantner has remarked that he wants the as the Concerto for Percussion. percussion section to be considered equal in Schwantner says his musical world often importance to the string or woodwind sections, calls for “lots of percussion, where everything which have historically dominated the orchestral is sharply etched.” Moreover, “those sharply ensemble in the conventional classical hierarchy. He articulated ideas often hang in the air, which believes he has “just begun to scratch the surface of is exactly what happens when you play an e what’s possible” in exploring the expressive potential major chord on the guitar. There are these of percussion in this Concerto. In contrast to the sharp articulations, and then this kind of usual concerto format, in which a soloist performs sustained resonance that you can easily do in on one instrument, the soloist here employs a quasipercussion—a favorite trick of mine! I think it orchestra of over 20 diverse percussion instruments, is right in my bone marrow.” He is convinced both tuned and untuned. Schwantner’s score directs that his music would sound different had he these instruments to be ranged around the stage, started with another instrument. practically engulfing the orchestra proper. The work gains a special advantage in live performance from the visual drama of the soloist dashing around the instrumental battery. Meanwhile, three other percussionists from the ensemble (including harp and amplified piano) join in a “collaborative relationship” with the soloist.

what to listen for Schwantner frames the work according to the traditional concerto format of three movements, in the order fast-slow-fast. The middle movement, the longest, is the emotional center; material shared in the outer movements makes for an overall symmetry or arch design. The relationship between the soloist and orchestra can be thunderously confrontational or — particularly in the middle movement — darkly intimate. With a forceful presence from the outset, the soloist lays out the basic motivic ideas of the piece in the first movement (“Con forza”). Rippling patterns on marimba alternate with violent outbursts from the drums. “The soloist, forcefully and propulsively, articulates the primary musical materials,” notes Schwantner, “with a battery of instruments that include: three tom-toms, a pair of timbaletas, a pair of bongos, amplified marimba, xylophone and a two-octave set of crotales.”

Schwantner dedicated the Concerto to fellow composer Stephen Albert, who died in a car crash in 1992, and he refers to the second movement (Misterioso) as “a slow, dark-hued elegy.” The other percussionists are entirely absent from this movement, and the soloist moves to center stage.

Schwanter’s instrumentation is hauntingly resonant, calling for “a vibraphone (played both with mallets and with a contrabass bow), a rack of nine Almglocken (pitched Alpine herd bells), a high-octave set of crotales (played with beaters and with bow), two triangles, two cymbals, a water gong (a tam-tam lowered into a large kettledrum filled with water), a concert bass drum and a tenor drum.” The opening

chords recur as a kind of refrain, while the bass drum articulates a motif that the composer likens to “an insistent ‘heartbeat.’ ” The strings’ poignant threnody at the movement’s center conveys an ominous, nocturnal intensity reminiscent of Bartók.

The final movement — Ritmico con brio (rhythmical, with energy) — follows without pause, beginning with an improvisational passage for the soloist, who plays on a shekere (beaded gourd) while a brass theme lurks in the background. The amplified marimba once again is given a dominant role — but this time, writes the composer, “the soloist plays angular and strongly accented gestures in fourmallet block voicings.” Motivic material from the opening movement returns, culminating in a thrilling solo cadenza that is punctuated by a final surge from the orchestra.

In addition to the array of instruments played by the solo percussionist, the score calls for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, marimba, glockenspiel, tom-toms, timbales, triangles, mark tree, small and medium suspended cymbals, claves, brake drums, vibraphone, bell tree, tubular bells, xylophone, Japanese wind chimes, woodblocks, anvil, amplified piano, harp and strings.

gustav hOlst

Holst composed The Planets between 1914 and 1916 and finished orchestrating the score in 1917. The Planets is one of the great showcases for orchestra. Holst’s vibrant, intensely colorful writing synthesizes elements of late Romanticism with the modernist influences of Debussy, Stravinsky and Schoenberg to suggest a metaphorical inner journey.

first performance: September 29, 1918, in a private performance limited to a small invited audience, with Adrian Boult conducting the Queen’s Hall Orchestra in London. The first public performance was on November 15, 1920, in London, with albert Coates conducting the London Symphony. first Nashville Symphony performance: february 9 & 10, 1970, at War Memorial auditorium with the Peabody College Women’s Chorus estimated length: 52 minutes recommended listening: Charles Dutoit leads the Montréal Symphony in a vivid account on Decca. another famous interpretation, by Zubin Mehta and the Los angeles Philharmonic, pairs Holst with music by John Williams obviously inspired by The Planets.

Since its first performance almost a century ago, The Planets has escaped the orbit of the classical music world to become part of the popular cultural imagination. Gustav Holst drew on a spectrum of influences from Romanticism to early Modernism for this work, but he integrated them into a unique sound that is unmistakably his own. The planetary portraits that Holst imagines here have left their imprint on generations of Hollywood composers. Indeed, even if you haven’t encountered The Planets in concert before, chances are that parts of it already have a familiar ring thanks to latter-day echoes in countless film scores.

Musical and extra-musical inspirations converge in The Planets. At the time of its composition, Holst had recently been impressed by Stravinsky’s colorful ballet scores and by Schoenberg’s revolutionary Five Pieces for Orchestra. Holst’s original working title was in fact “Seven Pieces for Orchestra.” In 1913, an acquaintance sparked the composer’s interest in astrology, which provided a general framework to contain the score’s immense variety and give it coherence. Holst writes that “these pieces were suggested by the astrological significance of the planets” — in other words, each of f ebruary

the seven movements takes its cue from the particular character and astrological symbolism associated with the planet in question.

The Planets, however, takes liberties with traditional astrology so as to make the musical argument as compelling as possible. Thus the sequence of movements, which has puzzled many a listener, seems “out of order” for the first three, while the following four movements are in the correct order of distance from the sun. In his in-depth study of the work, musicologist Robert Greene points out that Holst originally sketched out a plan with Mercury in the expected order as the first movement, but he came to realize that the musical material for Mars would make for a “more dramatic” opening to the work, setting up The Planets’ journey from the human to the infinite most effectively. Mercury, as it happened, was the last part of the score he composed.

Earth itself is omitted, since it represents the vantage point from which the other planets are observed. There is also no movement for Pluto, which was not discovered until 1930, a few years before Holst’s death, and which in any case has been demoted from its planetary status in recent years. (The sun and the moon are also sometimes deemed “planets” in conventional astrology but do not figure in Holst’s scheme.)

Although Holst characterized The Planets as a “suite for large orchestra,” Greene argues that the work involves far more than a sequence of highly contrasting movements and is in fact carefully unified by the composer’s vision, in both musical and philosophical terms. In his view, The Planets also incorporates some of the abiding preoccupations Holst explores in other compositions, particularly his fascination with Eastern mysticism (apparent in his settings of Sanskrit texts in such works as the Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda). Elements of conventional form and program music coexist, yet Holst goes beyond these to organize his material according to a symbolic “plot.” This makes Mars all the more effective as the starting point for an outward journey that implies an inner one as well.

what to listen for On one level, you can enjoy this score simply for the virtuoso use Holst makes of his enormous orchestra. This is immediately apparent in the sonic canvas he paints at the beginning of “Mars, the Bringer of War,” with its mixture of aggressive brass, augmented woodwinds, low harp, and strings playing with the wood of the bow (an especially eerie effect). The repetitive background rhythm hammered out in an uneven 5/4 meter suggests an inhuman, mechanizing force that intensifies the menace of the looming three-note motif. Even the fanfares here seem to do battle with each other. At the end, Holst carefully maps out a crescendo to a devastatingly dissonant climax — one of the loudest eruptions in the orchestral literature.

“Venus, the Bringer of Peace” replaces the harshness of the brass in Mars with a calm, almost pastoral horn solo against the gentle serenity of woodwinds and strings. Holst seems to pay homage here to the dying aura of Romanticism, yet he brings a distinct modernism into play at the same time.

Along with the obvious orchestral contrast to the opening movement, the rocking chords of “Venus” suggest an Impressionist, Debussy-like harmonic stasis that is the opposite of the forward thrust of “Mars.” It’s interesting to note that the vision of Venus here is peaceful rather than erotic. Holst notes that The Planets should not be seen to show a direct “connection with the deities of classical mythology bearing the same names.”

Following the symphonic analogy of “Mars” as an extroverted opening and “Venus” as the slow movement, “Mercury, the Winged Messenger,” the briefest of The Planets, implies a lighthearted scherzo movement for many. The virtuosity Holst demands of the orchestra here extends not only to the music’s gossamer textures but also to its extraordinarily tricky cross-rhythms, which put varying pulses against each other; e.g., two versus three beats per bar. At the same time, Holst remarks that “Mercury is the symbol of mind.” (The composer himself was a Virgo, the sign which according to astrology is ruled by the planet Mercury.)

The first three planets introduce a series of musical ideas and transformations — motivic, harmonic, rhythmic and textural — that recur in subtle ways within the highly varied content of the remaining movements. “Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity” lies at the center of The Planets and, fittingly, seems to display a dual aspect, touching on the playful and the serious. On the one hand, Holst employs complex rhythmic figuration behind the syncopated horn theme, while the orchestra seems to dance with joy. Yet at the center of the movement there emerges a majestic, hymn-like tune that unfolds with gravitas and dignity, as if Elgar had just made a surprise visit. Holst, in fact, later retooled the tune for a popular patriotic hymn titled “I Vow to Thee, My Country.” The main key of the movement, incidentally, is C major — the tonality of Mozart’s final symphony, which became known ‘the plaNetS’ to posterity as “The Jupiter.” aS proGraM MuSiC “Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age” — Like a number of composers writing at the which the composer singled out as his favorite turning point of early Modernism, Holst movement — recalls the oscillating harmonies expressed anxiety about “program music”— we heard in “Venus,” but now morphed into that is, a composition that was understood to something far more tantalizing and mysterious. “illustrate” and, by extension, be dependent Holst conveys a palpable sense of iciness and on something outside the realm of music, growing distance through his orchestration. The whether by conjuring a narrative or by movement proceeds as a slow, funereal march depicting a particular object. a notorious toward a frightening climax of clanging, ticking example of the sort of misunderstanding bells, but the specter of “physical decay,” notes the this might encourage can be found in “Mars,” composer, yields to “a vision of fulfillment” in the which launches the work. The first audiences final minutes. inevitably associated the symbolism of In “Uranus, the Magician,” the enigmatic war here with the reality of the World War four-note motif heard at the beginning recurs as england had just experienced. In fact, Holst an incantation. The music conjures elements of a composed “Mars” in the summer of 1914, sinister scherzo in the form of a march and builds when talk of war was certainly in the air, but to a full-scale climax supported by the organ. The well before the full brutality of this conflict volume quickly drops off, rises to another climax, had been revealed. and falls again in a remarkable postlude that

dissipates into fragments.

“Neptune, the Mystic” seems almost completely liberated from the emotional energy and affect of the first movements. Texture, rather than thematic development, here emerges as the real musical substance, evoking both Debussy and the “sound-color-melody” Schoenberg had explored in Five Pieces for Orchestra. Holst asks for pianissimo throughout the piece, but we soon realize that the shades of quiet fluctuate according to instrumental textures. “Neptune” circles back to reference the beginning by using the same time signature (5/4) as “Mars.” In a great stroke of final irony, this most-distant and disembodied of The Planets at last introduces the human voice, in the form of a wordless female double choir (three parts each), which Holst instructs to remain invisible to the audience. The final bar — a pair of chords that echoes the oscillating motion from “Venus” and is sung by the women alone — implies an infinitely repeating loop that diminishes toward absolute silence.

The Planets is scored for a very large orchestra consisting of 4 flutes (3rd and 4th doubling piccolo, 4th also doubling bass flute), 3 oboes (3rd doubling bass oboe), English horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, double bassoon, 6 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tenor and bass tuba, 6 timpani, triangle, snare drum, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum, gong, tubular bells, glockenspiel, xylophone, celesta, organ, 2 harps, strings and 6-part women’s choir (for “Neptune” alone).

roadway show tunes and rock songs share a common musical mission: They both aim to move the listener, body and soul — to grab hold of their audiences and never let go. When the two come together, the result can be irresistible. Broadway Rocks! celebrates the marriage of these two quintessentially American musical genres with a high-energy program of pop, rock and soul songs that have done a turn in the footlights, with performances by some of the finest voices of Broadway and the local choral group Nashville in Harmony.

It was inevitable that as rock and soul gained ascendancy in popular music, their infectious rhythms would find their way into original music composed for the stage.

From Jesus Christ Superstar (which was subtitled “A Rock Opera”) to The Wiz, with its R&B-rich score, Broadway started making great use of the sounds of the musical mainstream in the early 1970s. It’s no surprise that songs from both shows became Top 40 singles. Broadway Rocks! features a pair of songs that were especially loved by theater audiences — the rollicking “Everybody Rejoice” from The Wiz, the cast number that celebrates Dorothy’s defeat of the wicked witch Evilene; and “Gethsemane,” Jesus’s moving lament on the eve of Crucifixion. Other Broadway originals in the program include “Seasons of Love” from Rent (1996), a rock opera inspired by La bohème, with the 19th–century Parisian setting updated to New York’s Lower East Side in the early years of the AIDS epidemic. “For Good” is a gentle paean to friendship from the 2003 musical Wicked, which, like The Wiz, offers a fresh take on The Wizard of Oz. The relationship between pop music and Broadway has become a kind of crosspollination over the years, with songs and stories jumping from one to the other. The 1981 musical Dreamgirls, source of the powerful torch song “And I Am Telling You,” is inspired by the stories of real-life R&B stars such as The Shirelles, The Supremes and James Brown.

Jersey Boys (2005) recounts the story of pop vocal group Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, and features their many hits, including “Sherry” and “Walk Like a Man.” Tommy, created by British rock group The Who, began life as a concept album in 1969, became a film in 1975 and finally landed on Broadway in 1993. “Total Eclipse” is a romantic ballad featured in Dance of the Vampires, originally a German production that opened on Broadway in 2002, but the song first surfaced in 1983 as a worldwide pop hit for U.K. singer Bonnie Tyler. Mama Mia, which came to Broadway in 2001, uses the hits of Swedish supergroup ABBA to underpin an original romantic comedy. Hairspray and The Lion King, two Broadway productions derived from films, both feature lively pop scores, with the latter boasting the work of bona fide rock star Elton John.

Broadway Rocks! will round out the evening with some pop classics such as Gloria Gaynor’s disco hit “I Will Survive,” along with favorites from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera.

NaShville iN harMoNy Nashville in Harmony, a chorus for GLBT people and friends, brings Nashvillians together to provide a unique voice to the city’s music scene.

The chorus performs all styles of music, from classical (with a twist) to pop, utilizing a variety of accompanying instruments, or none at all. NIH’s repertoire includes songs that align with the group’s mission, those that are purely fun and everything in between “Nashville in Harmony is the most rewarding adventure I have ever experienced,” says director Don Schlosser. “After a career in the music ministry and the music publishing industry, I am so grateful to have the opportunity to partner with this passionate group of singers as they embrace the challenge to excel musically and to make a dynamic difference in the community in which they live. They often hear me say, ‘Let’s stand; let’s sing; let’s change the world.’ I believe those three challenges embody who we are: to stand together, shoulderto-shoulder, modeling the colorful diversity of our community; to sing out a cry for justice with the highest degree of artistry we can attain; and to partner with those who share our mission to make an impact on our community.”

Nashville in Harmony uses music to build community and create social change, and is open to all adults who support the advancement of rights for GLBT people, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender expression, sexual orientation or religious belief. Singers with basic musical skills are welcome.

The chorus rehearses weekly on Sunday afternoons. For more information, visit NashvilleinHarmony.org.

A Leader Among Leaders In 1981, Thomas F. Frist, Jr., and a charter group of Nashville leaders started the Alexis de Tocqueville Society as a way for leaders to publicly demonstrate their commitment to making Nashville a better community. Since that time, the Society has been adopted by major cities across the country and around the world. It has claimed as members such names as Gates, Dell, Lilly, Trump, and Hunt. We would like to recognize the members of the Alexis de Tocqueville Society, Alpha Chapter.

Thank you for your leadership.

giancarlo guerrero, music director

N

ow entering his second season with the Nashville Symphony, Giancarlo Guerrero continues to flourish as the orchestra’s music director. A fervent advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Guerrero has collaborated with and championed the works of several of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Michael Daugherty and Roberto Sierra. In the fall of 2009, Naxos released a recording of Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony performing works by Michael Daugherty, which has been nominated for five GRAMMY® Awards. This coming season, Guerrero and the orchestra have two more recordings planned for release on Naxos, the first featuring the music of Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla and the second featuring American composer Joseph Schwantner. photo by alan pOizner During the 2010/11 season, Guerrero will travel to five continents to guest-conduct a wide array of repertoire. In North America, he conducts the Cleveland Orchestra during one of its Miami residency weeks, marking his fourth appearance with the orchestra in as many years. He also returns to the Kansas City Symphony for a second consecutive year. In South and Central America, he makes his Brazilian debut with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra in a two-week residency with concerts in both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. He now returns annually to Caracas, Venezuela, to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar and to work with young musicians in the country’s much-lauded El Sistema music education program. In addition, he will make a special appearance in his native Costa Rica to conduct the 70th anniversary gala concert of the Costa Rican National Orchestra. Guerrero appears for the first time in Asia conducting the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in Kuala Lumpur, again with a twoweek residency. He returns to Australia for a re-engagement with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, which he conducted at the 2008 Adelaide Festival, coupled with a debut visit to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in Perth. In Europe he will make his debut with the Brussels Philharmonic.

Last season, Guerrero made his Boston Symphony Orchestra debut at Tanglewood and returned to the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Mann Center. His European engagements included return appearances with Lisbon’s Gulbenkian Orchestra and his U.K. debut with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. In recent seasons he has appeared with many of the major North American orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Houston, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, San Diego, Toronto, Vancouver and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. He has also appeared at several major summer festivals, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Festival, and Indiana University’s summer orchestra festival.

Also in demand in Central and South America, Guerrero made his debut at the Casals Festival with Yo-Yo Ma and the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra in 2005, which was followed by return engagements in 2006 and 2007. He recently conducted the Filarmónica de Buenos Aires in one of its first concerts in the newly refurbished Teatro Colón, where he first appeared with the orchestra in 2005.

Equally at home with opera, Guerrero works regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème, and Rigoletto. In February 2008, he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival, to great acclaim.

In June 2004, Guerrero was awarded the Helen M. Thompson Award by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide. He holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was most recently the music director of the Eugene Symphony. From 1999 to 2004, Guerrero served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, where he made his subscription debut in March 2000 leading the world premiere of John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria on the Ghosts of Versailles. Prior to his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra, he served as music director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela.

He also holds regular guest-conducting photo by aMy dicKersOn positions with the Tucson Symphony and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.

When the Nashville Symphony opened Schermerhorn Symphony Center in 2006, Schram was invited to become the orchestra’s resident conductor. While he has conducted on all series the orchestra offers, Schram is primarily responsible for its Bank of America Pops Series.

Maestro Schram’s longest tenure has been with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, where he has worked in a variety of capacities since 1979 and is an audience favorite for all series he conducts, including Pops and the CSO’s summer season. As a regular guest conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Schram in 2002 opened the orchestra’s new permanent summer home, Symphony Park. He has regularly conducted the Charlotte Symphony for nine consecutive years.

In 2008 Maestro Schram was invited to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Bolivia in La Paz and the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. His other foreign conducting engagements have included the KBS Symphony Orchestra and the Taegu Symphony Orchestra in Korea, and the Orchester der Allgemeinen Musikgesellschaft Luzern in Switzerland. He has made return appearances to his native Holland to conduct the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Netherlands Broadcast Orchestra.

Schram’s studies have been largely in the European tradition under the tutelage of Franco Ferrara, Rafael Kubelik, Abraham Kaplan and Neeme Järvi. He received the majority of his initial training at the Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands. His training was completed at the University of Washington.

The 2010/11 season marks Associate Conductor Kelly Corcoran’s fourth season with the Nashville Symphony. During this time, she has conducted a variety of programs, including the Symphony’s SunTrust Classical Series and Bank of America Pops Series, and has served as the primary conductor for the orchestra’s education and community engagement concerts. She also conducted the Nashville Symphony’s CD with Riders In The Sky, ‘Lassoed Live’ at the Schermerhorn.

Corcoran debuts this season with the Houston Symphony, Louisville Orchestra, Colorado Symphony and Springfield (Mo.) Symphony. She has conducted orchestras throughout the country, including performances with the Milwaukee, Detroit and National symphonies, as well as the Naples (Fla.) Philharmonic. In 2009, she made her successful South American debut as a guest conductor with the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. She has developed a reputation for exciting, energized performances. The Tennessean hailed her work on the podium as “lively” and “fresh.”

Named as Honorable Mention for the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship, Corcoran conducted the Bournemouth (U.K.) Symphony in January 2008 and studied with Marin Alsop. Prior to her position in Nashville, she completed three seasons as assistant conductor for the Canton Symphony Orchestra in Ohio and music director of the Canton Youth Symphony and the Cleveland-area Heights Chamber Orchestra.

In 2004, Corcoran participated in the selective National Conducting Institute, where she studied with her mentor, Leonard Slatkin. She has held additional posts as assistant music director of Nashville Opera, founder/music director of the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra and fellow with the New World Symphony.

Originally from Massachusetts and a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus for more than 10 years, Corcoran received her Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from The Boston Conservatory. She received her Master of Music in instrumental conducting from Indiana University. Corcoran currently serves on the conducting faculty at Tennessee State University. f ebruary

Grand Re-Opening

Schermerhorn Symphony Center

On December 31, following eight months of round-the-clock rebuilding, Schermerhorn

Symphony Center re-opened to the public with a festive sold-out concert. The evening got off to a grand start when the audience burst into applause and leapt to its feet before a note had even been played. The orchestra performed favorites by Bernstein and Leroy Anderson, and then the great violinist Itzhak Perlman took the stage to perform works by Dvořák and Fritz Kreisler, along with John Williams’s Theme from Schindler’s List. Waltzes by Strauss rounded out the musical selections, and following the concert guests enjoyed free dessert, along with free champagne courtesy of Lipman Brothers. A few minutes before midnight, Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero and President & CEO Alan Valentine gathered on the balcony overlooking the main lobby to count down to the New Year. It was the perfect way to usher in a new era for the Nashville Symphony!

Help the nashville symphony plan for the Future When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support.

You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family.

Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists.

To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please contact Holly Noble, Special Campaigns Coordinator, at 615.687.6529 or hnoble@nashvillesymphony.org.

Nashville Symphony Legacy Society The Legacy Society honors those patrons who have included the Symphony in their estate planning.

When they come to Nashville next month, Douglas and Camerata Ireland will perform piano concertos by Mozart and Liszt, along with a recent work celebrating Ireland and its rich history of music-making. Concert sponsor: Lipman Brothers & Dan McGuiness Pub SlatkiN CoNduCtS GlaSS, March 10, 11 & 12 SunTrust Classical Series We welcome back Leonard Slatkin to conduct an exciting new work

by Philip Glass! Written especially for soloist Robert McDuffie, the American Four Seasons Concerto draws plentiful inspiration from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons while exploring fresh ideas and directions, all stamped with Glass’ unmistakable sound. Expect passages of extraordinary beauty and a finale full of fireworks for world-class violinist McDuffie. Concert sponsor: Vanderbilt University Medical Center prokofiev’S fifth, March 24, 25 & 26 SunTrust Classical Series One of the greatest pieces of the 20th century, Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 shows the composer at the height of his powers, with an electrifying final movement that ends on a note of joyous exuberance. The concert opens on an equally rousing note, with the pairing of Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and GRAMMY®-winning composer Joan Tower’s response, Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman. The evening’s soloist, Colin Currie, will play an astounding array of percussion on James MacMillan’s Veni, Veni, Emmanuel. Concert sponsor: BDO
