Chabrier composed España in 1883 following a tour of Spain. An instant hit, the score percolates with cheerful energy and represents one of the best-loved examples of French musical impressions of Spain.

First performance: November 4, 1883, in Paris, with Charles Lamoureux conducting First Nashville Symphony performance: May 15 & 16, 1970, with Music Director Thor Johnson Estimated length: 7 minutes

I

n an era of easy travel and instant access to any imaginable style of music, it can be difficult to imagine the perspective of a 19th-century composer like Emmanuel Chabrier, whose trips to Germany and to Spain left such a deep stamp on his musical personality. Although he spent years chained to a bureaucratic post in France’s Ministry of the Interior, Chabrier squirreled away time in his free hours to compose, and he even enjoyed some success with an Offenbach-flavored comic operetta. His forays into music were encouraged by a close circle of artistic friends that included leading painters of the day — Chabrier was an

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R Judging by the uninhibited reactions Chabrier recorded in his letters, his fascination was hardly confined to the music he encountered in cafes and plazas. These rhythms and tunes were for him an expression of the sexiness of Spanish dancers as well. In España the vogue for evoking “exotic” and sultry Spanish atmospheres previously found in Édouard Lalo and Bizet takes the form of an irrepressibly joyful fantasia of rhythms and orchestral colors. Initially Chabrier repeats the familiar trope of the ensemble as a giant guitar, as we imagine the dancers lining up. Since his harmony is so static, the shifting rhythmic and instrumental patterns become the focus of interest. The festive score seems to anticipate the montage-like buildup and arrangement of images of the cinematic era still to come.

España is scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 4 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, 2 harps and strings.

important early collector of the work of his Impressionist colleagues — as well as major literary figures like Mallarmé and Verlaine, who wrote librettos for him.

After traveling to attend a life-changing performance of Tristan und Isolde, Chabrier decided to cast the day job aside — a choice made easier by a family legacy — and plunge into an existence devoted entirely to music.

Subsequent travels throughout Spain in 1882 inspired him to write the work that first brought him real notice as a serious composer.

Impressed by the colorful variety of the Iberian Peninsula, he gathered impressions of Spanish dances and folk music, making detailed note of local color and the many different dance idioms. Though Chabrier originally conceived España as a piano piece, he decided to amplify this material into a “rhapsody for orchestra.” It had to be encored at its first performance and remains a concert staple.

Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (“The Red Violin”) Born on February 16, 1938, in New York City, where he currently resides John Corigliano’s Violin Concerto, which he composed in 2003, is one of a series of works drawing on ideas from his score for the 1998 film The Red Violin. With its blend of innovative design, emotional intensity and highly skillful orchestration, the Concerto ranks among the best-loved achievements of this eminent living composer.

L

ast month marked the 75th birthday of John Corigliano, an American master who has earned critical and popular praise for a far-ranging and substantial oeuvre, and who continues to play a vital role in today’s music scene. Born into a musical family — his father was the New York Philharmonic’s concertmaster and his mother a pianist — Corigliano came of

age during a period when audiences had grown used to feeling alienated from contemporary composers, and there was consequently a deep uncertainty about the future of classical music.

Nevertheless, he developed a fresh and powerful voice that speaks to present-day listeners while revisiting genres of the concert music tradition.

As an influential teacher on the Juilliard faculty (with such prominent students as Eric Whitacre, Mason Bates and Nico Muhly), Corigliano has also inspired a new generation of composers.

In the first of his three symphonies to date, composed in 1988, Corigliano’s music of rage and lamentation created a counterpart in sound to the AIDS quilt. That score won the composer a Grawemeyer, one of the classical world’s most prestigious awards, while Leonard Slatkin’s recording with the National Symphony won a Best Classical GRAMMY® in 1996. These honors sit alongside a Pulitzer (for the Second Symphony, from 2000), multiple additional GRAMMY® Awards, and an Oscar for the score to the 1998 film The Red Violin. His catalog of more than 100 works reveals his mastery of the modern orchestra, and also includes chamber music and compositions for voice. His only opera, The Ghosts of Versailles (1991), riffs on the characters of Beaumarchais’s Figaro trilogy and was commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera.

A richly theatrical imagination permeates Corigliano’s instrumental works as well. This is particularly true of the “Red Violin” Concerto, which is an offshoot of the dramatically compelling music he wrote for the film by French-Canadian director François Girard. As a multipart narrative traversing three centuries and three continents, and involving unrelated sets of characters, the film The Red Violin relies to an unusual degree on music as the story’s binding element. Corigliano devised musical terms to characterize the eponymous violin as the one constant thread linking these stories together. Dating from the golden age of Italian instrument builders, the violin is the masterwork of its grieving designer. He paints it with a mixture of varnish and the blood of his wife after she suddenly dies in childbirth. Corigliano had to compose much of the music before filming

The previously composed Chaconne serves as the first and the longest of the concerto’s four movements. A chaconne refers to the Baroque device of an easily recognizable chord sequence that continually repeats and forms a harmonic foundation. After a haze of indeterminate orchestral swirl around the solo violin, low brass and winds spell out the chaconne theme as a grim procession of seven chords. Meanwhile the soloist traces out a haunting melody — the music associated with the ill-fated Anna, the instrument maker’s wife — against these chords. Together the two elements suggest a musical image for both the relentless power of fate and the tragic memory of Anna that, in a sense, possesses the violin. They also provide the movement’s essential material. Alternately brooding and fiery, the music incorporates virtuosic etude-like passages, riveting climaxes and a remarkable solo cadenza voicing the different facets of the instrument’s personality that surface throughout the film.

Three movements follow and form a

counterweight to the Chaconne’s imposing architecture. As the Red Violin is transported from Italy to Vienna, Oxford, Shanghai and modern-day Montreal, it is subjected to the varying temperaments and styles of those who come into possession of it. Corigliano notes that the brisk Pianissimo Scherzo, a “wild and colorful” movement, is meant to “break the Romantic mood of the first movement with sonoric and timbral effects” — and indeed his much-admired flair for orchestral texture and color comes very much to the fore. Anna’s theme makes a spectral appearance here and takes on deeply melancholy hues in the third movement.

But the flute-like (flautando) playing prescribed

by Corigliano for the soloist in the third pits grace against gravity, and provides a lyricism reminiscent of Samuel Barber.

This segues into the troubadour/gypsy style of the finale, all passion and fire, which recalls the traditional Romantic concerto’s face-off between soloist and orchestra as each proceeds at contrasting tempos. Corigliano calls for special effects to enhance the sense of a “rollicking race,” while a gripping new theme introduces an air of introspection. The chaconne theme itself rounds out the concerto, symbolizing the survival of the violin, and of music itself, through the eras.

— the reverse of the normal practice — so that the many shots featuring actors playing the instrument could realistically synchronize with the soundtrack. From this he fashioned an independent concert piece, Chaconne for Violin and Orchestra, which premiered before the film opened.

Corigliano recalls that the experience of scoring the film and collaborating with Joshua Bell, who played the solos on the soundtrack, “galvanized” him to take up the challenge of writing his first concerto for this instrument.

This in turn became a loving tribute to his concertmaster father, to whose memory the score is dedicated. “It is an ‘in the great tradition’ kind of concerto,” the composer remarks, because with it he attempted “to write the piece my father would love to play.” While the concerto draws on material from the film score associated with its characters, this isn’t program music per se but a reimagining and celebration of that tradition for today.

A towering example of orchestral variations, the work gave Elgar his first important breakthrough as a composer and can be “read” on several different levels: as a tribute to his close circle, as a study in musical development of a core idea, and as a mystical key to a larger, “unheard” meaning.

he formal concept of a theme and variations offers another way to represent the simultaneous persistence of a musical idea and its susceptibility to change over time. One of the most glorious examples of this concept can be found in Variations on an Original Theme, written by a composer still struggling to make his name before knighthood and international recognition singled him out. This work supplied Edward Elgar with his international breakthrough on the eve of a new century.

Like Stephen Sondheim in our own time, Elgar was a passionate devotee of puzzles. There are, in fact, several enigmas associated with the piece, though the composer originally applied that term to the issue of the main theme alone.

In a note for the premiere, Elgar hinted that this larger (still unexplained) enigma involves the identity and presence of the real principal theme, which is actually never played but only outlined indirectly by what we do hear — “even as in some late dramas the chief character is never onstage,” according to Elgar. The theme and variations that are written down would thus form a kind of accompaniment or countermelody implicitly pointing to the theme that isn’t heard and whose “dark saying,” as Elgar put it, can only be “left unguessed.”

Not surprisingly, leaving the enigma of Elgar’s Variations unguessed is the last thing armies of scholars and puzzle-lovers have been willing to do. Proposed solutions to the unheard theme’s identity range from “Auld Lang Syne” and “God Save the Queen” (both of which Elgar categorically denied) to ideas that are outside the realm of music, including a code for pi and a phrase from the New Testament about divine love.

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The theme that we do hear is stated outright in a songlike form (A-B-A) and contrasts minor with a final turn to the major. Pauses between each phrase enhance its expressive nature, and Elgar reverses the rhythmic pattern in each succeeding phrase: short-short-longlong followed by long-long-short-short, and so on. Each of the 14 variations then gives a

Elgar’s score calls for 2 flutes (1 doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, organ and strings.

namesake). Jaeger was the composer’s closest friend and continually encouraged his efforts.

His “portrait” recalls a deep conversation the two engaged in while walking one night, as Jaeger described the nobility of Beethoven’s slow movements.

X: A delicate intermezzo depicts Dorabella Penny (who was related to the subjects of Variations III and IV), including her stutter.

XI: This variation incorporates not only the subject, organist George R. Sinclair, but also his pet bulldog Dan. Elgar recalls a picnic afternoon during which Dan fell into the River Wye and barked emphatically as soon as he could wriggle out.

XII: In this variation of touching melancholy, the cello takes the spotlight in homage to the cellist Basil G. Nevinson.

XIII: Another enigma within the “Enigma” comes from the asterisks Elgar writes in the score for this “romanza” to conceal the subject’s identity. A quotation from Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage (clarinet) refers to the subject undertaking a sea voyage. Some speculate she may be an old flame, Elgar’s former fiancée Helen Weaver.

XIV: A depiction of Elgar’s wife began the set; now the composer complements it with a self-portrait and a magnificent summing up of the whole work. (“E.D.U.” or “Edoo” was a pet name Elgar’s wife used for him.) He draws on the full resources of the orchestra for this energetic and most comprehensive expansion of the theme. In its opulent and stately guises, Elgar suggests how deeply his personality is entwined with those of his wife and his friend Jaeger.

musical portrayal of friends and loved ones from Elgar’s relaxed inner circle in provincial central England. In the score, he cryptically identifies the corresponding personalities by initials, but the composer’s commentary and observations have made most of these easy to figure out. Personal interrelationships between some of the subjects also figure in.

The Variations unfold in the following order: I: Elgar’s beloved wife, Caroline Alice Elgar, appears as a fuller, romanticized, harmonically richer development of the theme.

II: Chromatic elaborations of the theme are said to refer to exercises with which Hew David Steuart-Powell, a pianist, would warm up at the keyboard.

III: Registral extremes of high and low woodwinds are contrasted to etch a portrait of amateur actor Richard Baxter Townshend, who could vary the pitch of his voice to extreme contrasts.

IV: A blustery change of tempo suggests a musical counterpart to the confident country gentleman William Meath Baker.

V: This moody variation captures the mutability of poet Matthew Arnold’s son, Richard Penrose Arnold.

VI: Isabel Fitton studied viola with Elgar and hence is depicted by the melodic dominance of a luminously beautiful viola.

VII: Another music student, the architect Arthur Troyte Griffth, is the target of Elgar’s characteristic humor as he battles valiantly for command of the keyboard — and then just gives up.

VIII: The graceful world of the elderly music patroness Winifrid Norbury — punctuated by her signature laugh — comes to life in this delicately proportioned variation.

IX: A sustained line from the previous variation segues directly into what is the bestknown variation of the set — and its emotional core. This piece is often extracted for use at funerals and serious ceremonial occasions and has become the epitome for the grand rhetorical expression of the end of an era, before war and modernism swept it all away. “Nimrod” is one of Elgar’s puns for A.

P ROGRAM NOT ES For nearly 2,000 years (ending in the 14th century), the historical Silk Road, a series of land and sea trade routes, crisscrossed Eurasia, enabling the exchange of goods from Japan to the Mediterranean Sea. Over the centuries, many important technological innovations migrated to the West along the Silk Road, including the magnetic compass, the printing press and gunpowder. Interactions among cultural groups spread knowledge, religious beliefs, artistic techniques and musical traditions. Long after its decline, the Silk Road remains a powerful metaphor for cultural exchange, and it is an apt namesake for the Silk Road Project’s vision of connecting artists and audiences around the world.

The repertoire of the Silk Road Ensemble includes traditional music as well as newly commissioned works, many of which combine non-Western and Western instruments, creating a unique genre that transcends customary musical classification. Tonight’s concert opens with a Silk Road Suite, in which the audience is greeted

by Wandering Winds, an improvisation among wind instruments that explores the concept of

connecting the world’s neighborhoods. This conversation between such instruments as Chinese bawu and pipa and Japanese shakuhachi gives way to La Camera Bianca (The White Room), a string sextet by the young Sicilian composer Giovanni Sollima. The title refers to a laboratory exploration of a grave in the Cathedral of Palermo that unexpectedly revealed that the Emperor Frederic II was not buried alone, but in the arms of a woman. This element of surprise is evident in the playful melodic and rhythmic structure of the short piece.

Percussionist and composer Shane Shanahan wrote the next piece in the Suite, Saidi Swing, inspired by the traditional Arabic rhythm known as Saidi, believed to have originated in Upper Egypt. Saidi Swing offers variations on the Saidi basic rhythm featuring the riq, an Egyptian tambourine; darbuka, a goblet-shaped drum used throughout the Middle East; tabla, a pair of drums played extensively in India, Pakistan and Afghanistan; and the frame drum, the oldest and most widely used drum in the world. The Suite concludes with Turceasca (Turkish Song), the signature piece of the Romanian gypsy

band Taraf de Haïdouks, who were featured in the documentary Latcho Drom. Composer Osvaldo Golijov worked with the band to arrange Turceasca for the Kronos Quartet. The Silk Road Ensemble, further bolstered with an arrangement

by Ljova, provides additional embellishments to the work with the inclusion of instruments from other traditions, including the cajón, a Peruvian drum.

The Prospect of Colored Desert is a product of the Silk Road Project’s first round of commissions in 2000. Following eight years of study as a painter at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, composer Jia Daqun abandoned his career when his vision became impaired. He turned his attention to composition, a passion he had been developing while in art school. As a composer of contemporary music, he has imported the principles of form, line and color from Chinese calligraphy and painting into his compositions and teachings. In The Prospect of Colored Desert, the composer imagines a black ink brush painting of a desert. Listeners might also detect the influence of Chinese opera with the instruments acting out their operatic assignments.

Playlist for an Extreme Occasion was written for the Silk Road Ensemble in 2012 by the acclaimed New York-based jazz pianist and composer Vijay Iyer. The title, according to Iyer, is meant to evoke the ways we listen to music today: “The piece’s structure is indeed a playlist, a kind of modular form that most of us have in our lives already (usually in our pockets). The literary theorist Edward Said, himself an amateur classical pianist, described recitals, operas and other classical performances as ‘extreme occasions’ because of their ritual quality, their now requisite displays of superhuman prowess and their careful prescriptions of the behavior of performers and audience alike.” Iyer adds, “I have great admiration for the Silk Road Ensemble for their ability to transcend the traditional confines of these settings, to connect authentically as people, and to communicate a real joy for creating music together. I dedicate this piece to them, and I thank them for the opportunity to collaborate with them.”

In contrast to the previous piece, with its

32

contemporary jazz influences, the inspiration for the next work is rooted in ancient Persian tradition. The title of Beloved, do not let me be discouraged… comes from a line of 16th century verse by Turkic poet Fuzûlî and is taken from his version of the legendary tale of Layla and Majnun, a story about ill-fated lovers that has many parallels to Romeo and Juliet. In working with the Ensemble and Alim Qasimov, the great Azeri mugham singer, on a chamber version of Hajibeyov’s 1908 opera Layla and Majnun, a melodic fragment caught Colin Jacobsen’s ear and developed into the rhythmic piece that forms the second half of Beloved. The musical voice of kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor is a natural fit for this piece, in part because Persian music often expresses a deep desire to lose oneself in love.

The next piece was born out of another Ensemble member’s sense of connection to an event that played a part in shaping a culture — in this case, of the people of Japan. Kojiro Umezaki wrote seasons continue, as if none of this ever happened after the tsunami of 2011. Umezaki notes that nearly a century earlier, deeply affected by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, Nakao Tozan composed the work Kogarashi in response to the devastation, which was triggered by nature but amplified by human systems. Years later, a quote by a calligraphy teacher who lost her home in the 2011 tsunami caught Umezaki’s attention in its echo of the past: “It’s strange how the seasons continue, as if none of this ever happened,” Nagasawa said, glancing up at the blue sky. “Spring comes back, but [some] never will.” (New York Times, April 10, 2011) Umezaki asks, “Can we say that all communities grapple with the fragile relationship between advances in the human condition and their unknown consequences?” He explains that “this work honors Tozan, adding a fractured, rhythmic accompaniment as if the shakuhachi were, quite impossibly, a multi-stringed instrument.”

To close the program, the Ensemble performs Suite from Book of Angels, made up of short pieces by the prolific and often avant-garde American composer John Zorn. Zorn’s Book of Angels is the second in a series of collections that

YO-YO MA The many-faceted career of cellist Yo-Yo Ma is testament to his continual search for new ways to communicate with audiences and to his personal desire for artistic growth and renewal.

THE SILK ROAD ENSEMBLE The Silk Road Ensemble draws together distinguished performers and composers from more than 20 countries in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Since the Ensemble formed under the artistic direction of Yo-Yo Ma in 2000, the group’s innovative artists have eagerly explored contemporary musical crossroads. The Seattle Times praised the result as “a cornucopia of music ideas…featuring instrumental and vocal artists of almost unimaginable virtuosity.”

The Ensemble’s approach is experimental and democratic, founded on collaboration and risk taking, on continual learning and sharing among a kaleidoscope of cultures and art forms.

Members explore one another’s traditions, celebrating the multiplicity of approaches to music from around the world. They also develop new repertoire that responds to the multicultural reality of our global society. As the Los Angeles Times has said, “The Silk Road Ensemble vision of international cooperation is not what we read in our daily news reports. Theirs is the better world available if we, like these extraordinary musicians, agree to make it one.”

The Silk Road Ensemble has performed to critical acclaim throughout Asia, Europe and North America and has recorded five albums. The Ensemble’s most recent recording, Off the Map, was nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Crossover Album in 2011.

The restriction spurred him to create a concerto of enigmatic theatricality that casts a sometimes-ironic eye on the Romantic concerto tradition.

aurice Ravel was one of the great innovators in the early 20th century, both in his orchestration and in the new sonorities he coaxed from the piano. He mingles both traits in the pair of piano concertos he wrote during his final decade. These works are likewise marked by the composer’s distinctly theatrical sensibility.

imposingly over many of the French artist’s peers, Ravel accomplished his own innovations without resorting to grand, all-encompassing theories. Roger Nichols points out in his recent biography that Ravel was able to “compartmentalize” a powerful emotional reaction to Wagner’s music “from his own composing process” and thus managed “to spare himself the agonizing struggles between Wagnerphilia and Wagnerphobia that racked” other French composers such as Debussy.

Ravel developed much of the musical personality of his formative years through writing for the keyboard, so it makes sense that he wished to use the format of the piano concerto to stage his brand of musical theater.

He came to the endeavor late in his career due in part to his relentless perfectionism (he abandoned several earlier attempts), but also because of the traumatic interruption of World War I. By the late 1920s, Ravel was at the height of his popularity, and he could exploit what he had learned about writing for the stage in his remarkable ballet scores and his two one-act operas. Ravel began with a normal concerto for both hands, which he intended to use as a vehicle for his own comeback as a concert pianist on an ambitious upcoming tour. This would become the Piano Concerto in G, a masterpiece permeated by the influences of Mozart and jazz. However, the aging composer eventually realized his technique was no longer up to the demands of what he was writing, and he ceded the soloist role to his friend Marguerite Long.

While writing that work, Ravel received another commission from pianist Paul Wittgenstein. It came with the unusual request for the solo part to use only the left hand.

Wittgenstein belonged to an enormously wealthy arts-loving family in Vienna (their father was a steel tycoon). His many siblings included Ludwig Wittgenstein, the highly influential philosopher of language. Very early in the Great War, Paul was seriously injured in combat — Ravel himself became involved on the opposing side, driving trucks behind French lines — and had to have his right arm amputated, but he was determined

W H AT TO LIST E N F OR Cast in a single movement without breaks but with sections of fluctuating tempos, the Concerto begins with a slow, mysterious introduction. Ravel stages the emergence of the basic material of the piece from the lower depths of the orchestra, as an extended solo for contrabassoon seems to flicker against the shadows. The overall character of this work, relative to the translucent, more classically oriented Concerto in G, is dark — though by no means exclusively so — and is punctuated by surprising touches of drama.

A slow, steady crescendo intensifies the suspense. It reaches a peak as the soloist makes a monumental entry and immediately creates a sonic illusion of two-handed virtuosity with a cadenza that covers the whole range of the keyboard. It’s interesting to note that Ravel’s

score for the solo part calls for more notes in toto than does the two-handed Concerto in G. The composer’s detached, enigmatic theatricality underlies the chain of events which ensues. As you would expect from a concerto, the musical argument develops as an exchange between soloist and orchestra, yet the atmosphere shifts cinematically, jump-cutting from one scene to another. The keyboard’s ruminations suggest the lyric, reflective grace of a slow movement, but shortly before the midpoint, the music accelerates into an allegro.

Suddenly the opening theme that had been the focus of the first part is set aside for a scherzolike march. Its insistent triplets and whiffs of jazz have a more sinister flavor than the corresponding moments of the Concerto in G. The mechanistic, martial pulse seems disturbingly at odds with the relaxed and cheerful implications of the jazz elements. A hint of war memories? Ravel’s orchestral wizardry is especially imaginative and unpredictable in this section.

After a reprise of the opening theme, the orchestra subsides for the piano’s lengthy, restless cadenza. Ravel subtly weaves the ensemble back in and reworks the suspenseful drama of the opening crescendo — now it is the orchestra following the piano’s lead — to build a sense of overwhelming excitement once again. The grand first theme seems to have won out, but the scherzo-march music flashes threateningly in the final measures, effecting what Ravel described as “a brutal conclusion.”

In addition to solo piano, Ravel’s score calls for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp and strings.

to revive his career as a concert pianist when he returned to civilian life. He immediately set about to remedy the lack of left-handed repertoire by commissioning a slew of new works from leading composers, including Prokofiev, Richard Strauss and Britten, as well as Ravel.

To Ravel’s chagrin, Wittgenstein was initially hesitant about the value of what he had produced: “Only much later, after I’d studied the concerto for months,” recalled the pianist, “did I become fascinated by it and realize what a great work it was.” Much as Ravel’s imagination had been sparked by adapting a simpler, childlike point of view in his piano music inspired by the tales from Mother Goose, the technical limitations necessitated by writing the Concerto for the Left Hand led him to a fresh evaluation of the genre.

According to musicologist Michael Russ, in this work Ravel “is not so much participating in the 19th-century tradition as viewing it from a distance.”

ong before Freud, Jung, J.R.R. Tolkien or George Lucas, Richard Wagner grasped the terrific potential of fantastic mythological narratives and the emotional truths they can convey. As the music world celebrates Wagner’s bicentennial this year, his insights about myth and his capacity to express them in sound remain inexhaustibly fascinating. Wagner mined a mountain of sources, including actual Nordic myths and sagas, fairy-tales and recent scholarship, to gather what he needed to construct a myth of his own: the four-part Der Ring des Nibelungen (“The Ring of the Nibelung”), usually simply called The Ring. The composer actually thought of The Ring as a trilogy, in analogy to the great three-part cycles of ancient Greek tragedy.

The Ring is not a “retelling” of a famous myth but an original, intricate synthesis of narrative threads comprising a cast of nearly 30 individual characters, each with a backstory, along with numerous “extras.” The “cycle” spanned by The Ring’s four operas entails nothing less than a history of the world, from the dawn of time to the collapse of civilization — and the promise of a new start with its rebirth.

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The opening is a potent realization in sound of a world coming into being, starting with a sustained bass E-flat. Eight horns emerge from the depths and overlap with the cycle’s very first leitmotif, a rising sequence associated with innocent nature, water, even evolution itself.

The whole prelude, a foretaste of Minimalism, suggests a vast time-lapse unfolding. The rest of Das Rheingold introduces the epic range of The Ring’s world, from the lofty heights of Valhalla (the splendid new castle Wotan has contracted to be built for the gods) to the depths of the mines where the Nibelungs are forced into slave labor.

Nature appears in Wagner’s orchestration as an ever-present backdrop, sometimes serene and sometimes violent.

Maazel arranges Wagner’s storm music to bridge Das Rheingold with Die Walküre, where we encounter mortals for the first time. “The Ride of the Valkyries” is the prelude to the storm of Wotan’s rage against his daughter Brünnhilde for her disobedience. His music of farewell intensifies into one of the cycle’s most moving climaxes, symphonic and elegiac at the same time, interlaced with the hypnotic, lullaby-like motif signifying Brünnhilde’s sleep.

an active participant in the failed revolution in Dresden in 1849, escaping arrest and a possible death sentence by fleeing German territory for exile in Switzerland.

There was now no turning back. The heady thinking of these years provided the initial impetus for The Ring as a reflection, through myth, on a society that has become hopelessly corrupted and that must be redeemed. Layered on top of this was Wagner’s increasingly pessimistic philosophy, as he came to see suffering as the inevitable result of existence itself, which no revolution or utopian society could ameliorate.

Through the quarter century that elapsed between his initial concept and the orchestration of the cycle’s final bars, The Ring absorbed all these contradictions, along with the advancement of Wagner’s art and technique as a composer. The Ring became “the poem of my life and of all that I am and feel,” as he wrote to his friend Franz Liszt.

and humans, with the two intersecting at its tragic center. The plot itself is complex and spans multiple generations. It’s this complexity that led Wagner to expand from one to four operas in the first place, to make the motivations more compelling. Essentially, though, The Ring revolves around the conflict generated by the opposing drives of power and love.

The ring of the title was forged from the primal Rhinegold when the Nibelung dwarf Alberich renounced love itself. A talisman that confers limitless power, the ring also carries a deadly curse. Wotan, the head of the gods, devises an elaborate scheme to win control of the ring but is thwarted by the conditions that give him power, which he would otherwise have to forfeit. The hero Siegfried is Wotan’s human grandson and freely comes into possession of the ring. For him it symbolizes his loving union with the ex-Valkyrie Brünnhilde. But Siegfried, too, falls victim to its curse and to those who covet the ring’s power. Finally his widow Brünnhilde restores the ring to the Rhinemaidens from whom its gold was stolen and the old, corrupt order is destroyed by fire and flood.

As Wagner plotted his epic narrative, he discovered he needed to rethink the very basis of the relation between the music and the drama. As a result, he came to redefine the orchestra’s role and function in a radical way. The orchestra itself becomes a central character, in effect playing the role of a master narrator or bard and reinforcing an underlying unity through the composer’s system of leitmotifs. From these, Wagner spins a web of commentary on the inner lives of his characters and their relationships. At the same time, his score possesses an emotional directness that requires no specific knowledge of what particular themes “signify.”

Why did this material attract Wagner in the first place? In the spring of 1848, the revolution spreading through Europe was gathering steam.

With a day job as music director at one of the leading establishment opera houses of the time, in Dresden, Wagner had lost faith in his hopes for reform of institutions from within. There seemed to be little point in continuing to churn out new works for the old system. He meanwhile became

CL A SS I C A L S E R I ES

but intensely beautiful excerpt from the “Forest Murmurs” scene in Siegfried, Nature again returns to the foreground in music of chamber-like delicacy and exquisite tone painting.

Next, the cosmic worry of the Norns (a version of the Fates) gives way to the hopefilled, human joy of new lovers in music from the last of The Ring’s operas, as the newly human Brünnhilde is transformed by the power of her love for Siegfried. But the world of Götterdämmerung contains the Ring’s darkest and most violent passages, as in the motifs evoking Siegfried’s nemesis, who has him murdered. The hero’s Funeral March concentrates what has come before in the tragedy into a miniature tone poem, and it is famous in its own right as a concert hall extract. Wagner gives the final word in The Ring to his orchestra, following the magnificent final monologue delivered by Brünnhilde as she prepares for her self-sacrifice. The final minutes weave all of the key leitmotifs from The Ring

together into a finale of overwhelming force and eloquence marked by dramatic harmonic modulations.

But this epilogue is much more than a straightforward parade of themes or a grand summary: as Wagner himself once confessed, listeners must follow their own “intuition” to decide where the music has taken them by the end of this journey.

The Ring Without Words is scored for a very large orchestra of 2 piccolos, 3 flutes, 3 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, 8 horns (4 doubling Wagner tubas), 3 trumpets, 2 bass trumpets, 4 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, 2 harps and strings, along with such unusual instruments as anvils and a “stierhorn.”

— Thomas May is the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator.

LORI N M A A Z E L A N D ‘ TH E RI NG’ When conductor and composer Lorin Maazel was asked to prepare and record a “symphonic synthesis” of The Ring for the record label Telarc in the 1980s, he recalled a pivotal encounter with Wieland Wagner, the composer’s grandson. Maazel had been the first American to conduct at Bayreuth, where Wieland had introduced a revolutionary new postwar approach to the operas as stage director. “The Orchestra — that’s where it all is — the text behind the text,” he remembered Wieland remarking.

This view proved especially fitting for The Ring. “Its orchestral score,”

40

M A RC H 2 0 1 3

Maazel writes, “is The Ring itself, coded in sound. Decoded, it becomes story, legend, song, philosophy in countless cosmic overtones and human undertones.” Using only Wagner’s own notes, The Ring Without Words gathers several of the score’s “coded” orchestral highlights into a continuous suite.

Hearing Maazel’s arrangement is not, of course, a substitute for experiencing the entire Ring in live performance. Still, follow along on this orchestral journey and you will come away with a hint of the scope and gripping power of Wagner’s vision.

He is also establishing an increasingly visible profile in Europe, where his upcoming engagements will include a debut appearance with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Last season, he led a five-city European tour with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic.

Early in his career, Guerrero worked regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera, and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La Bohème and Rigoletto. Future plans include productions at the Houston Grand Opera and Marseille Opera. 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 honored with the Helen M. Thompson Award by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide.

Guerrero holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was previously the Music Director of the Eugene Symphony in Oregon.

From 1999 to 2004, he 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.

As a regular guest conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Schram in 2002 opened the orchestra’s new permanent summer home, Symphony Park. From 1990 to 1996, he served as resident conductor of the Louisville Orchestra. The former Florida Philharmonic Orchestra appointed Schram as resident conductor beginning with the 2002/03 season.

In 2008 Schram was invited to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Bolivia 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 returned to his native Holland to conduct the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Netherlands Broadcast Orchestra.

In the U.S., his recent and coming guest conducting appearances include the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Tucson Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, Dayton Philharmonic, Shreveport Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Allentown Symphony and the Mansfield Symphony.

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 his initial training at the Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands, then later moved to Canada to undertake studies at the universities of Calgary and Victoria. His training was completed at the University of Washington.

he 2012/13 season marks Associate Conductor Kelly Corcoran’s sixth season with the Nashville Symphony. During this time, she has conducted a variety of programs, including the Classical and Pops Series, and has served as the primary conductor for the orchestra’s education and community engagement concerts. She made her Carnegie Hall conducting debut in May 2012 with the Nashville Symphony during the Spring For Music Festival. This season she is also the Acting Director for the Nashville Symphony Chorus.

Corcoran appears this season with The Cleveland Orchestra, Naples Philharmonic, Louisville Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony and as a Music Director candidate with the Topeka Symphony and FargoMoorhead Symphony. She has conducted major orchestras throughout the country, including the Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee and National Symphonies, often with return engagements. In 2009, she made her South American debut as a guest conductor with the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina, returning for multiple subscription programs in 2011.

Named as Honorable Mention for the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship, Corcoran studied with Marin Alsop and shared performances with her and the Bournemouth (UK) Symphony and Colorado Symphony. Prior to 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. Corcoran attended the Lucerne Festival’s master class in conducting with Pierre Boulez.

In 2004, Corcoran participated in the National Conducting Institute, where she studied with Leonard Slatkin. Her past posts include assistant music director of the 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 and her Master of Music in instrumental conducting from Indiana University.

Mark Tedder, MD Saint Thomas Heart Cardiac Surgeon

A lifesAving AdvAncement is giving heArt pAtients

a new lease on life Thanks to new surgical techniques, patients with previously inoperable and high-risk valvular heart issues are going on to potentially live full, healthy lives. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive alternative to open heart surgery that has a significantly shorter recovery time. Saint Thomas Heart is the first FDA approved program in the state to perform this procedure through

the rib cage for patients with arteries that are too small for the transfemoral approach. With TAVR, we are able to help more patients who previously had little hope.

For more informations, visit www.SaintThomasHeart.com/TAVR. To schedule an appointment with a Saint Thomas Heart physician, please call 800.345.5016.

LEGACY SOCIETY LEAVING A LEGACY, BUILDING A 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 visit NashvilleSymphony.org/plannedgiving, or contact Hayden Pruett, Major Gifts Officer, at 615.687.6615
