Overture

Nashville Symphony Vice President Mark Blakeman and President & CEO Alan Valentine at the 53rd Annual GRAMMY® Awards.

T

he Nashville Symphony’s GRAMMY® Awards belong to you as well.

We have achieved incredible success thanks to your enthusiasm and support.

We received some fantastic news last month when we learned that the Nashville Symphony’s recording of Michael Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony and Deus Ex Machina received three GRAMMY® Awards! Most exciting of all, the album — Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero’s first with the orchestra — won in the category of Best Orchestral Performance, in addition to Best Classical Contemporary Composition and Best Engineered Album, Classical.

Our recordings have now earned a total of six GRAMMY® Awards since 2008. These latest honors affirm that we have found exactly the right conductor in Giancarlo, whose extraordinary leadership brings out the best in the Nashville Symphony and whose charismatic musicianship turns every concert into a thrilling event. These awards also underscore the remarkable recording facility we have here in Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and they are a reflection of the incredible dedication and hard work of our musicians.

It says a lot about our city when, in a single year, Nashville can claim GRAMMY® winners in a wide array of categories, from Record of the Year (which went to Lady Antebellum) to Best Alternative Music Album (which went to recent Nashville transplants The Black Keys) to Best Contemporary World Music Album (which went to Béla Fleck, our good friend and periodic collaborator). We feel honored to be among the many artists who have brought such positive attention to our wonderfully creative community.

Over the past decade, the Nashville Symphony has established a distinctive profile in the classical music world by commissioning, premiering and recording works by this country’s leading composers. As his own GRAMMY® Award attests, Michael Daugherty is among those composers, with a unique sound that makes intriguing connections between classical music and American popular culture. We look forward to continuing our exploration of new American music in the years to come.

It has been a fascinating and rewarding journey so far, thanks in large part to you, our patrons.

For this reason, the Nashville Symphony’s GRAMMY® Awards belong to you as well. We have achieved incredible success thanks to your enthusiasm and support, which continue to push us to even greater heights of achievement. Thank you for all that you do, and I hope that you enjoy your experience at the Schermerhorn this month!

New and Noteworthy at the Schermerhorn Spring is well on the way, and we invite you to enjoy the longer days and warmer weather at one of several newly announced events in the next few months! For more information about these and other upcoming events — including our full 2011/12 season — visit NashvilleSymphony.org or call the Schermerhorn Box Office at 615.687.6400.

Cameron Carpenter, May 15: A prodigiously gifted musician, organist Carpenter is also one amazing showman, with a vivacious, engaging stage persona that seeks to break down the barrier between audience and performer. His solo recital will be the first to feature the Martin Foundation Concert Organ since the flood last May. Alex Ross, music critic for The New Yorker, has called Carpenter “a madly original organist” and “a force of nature,” commending him for his encyclopedic grasp of musical history and popular culture.

Regions FREE Day of Music, May 22: The perfect way to celebrate a warm spring day!

Previously held in the fall, this hugely popular event invites the entire community to Schermerhorn Symphony Center to enjoy free musical performances all day long and into the night. Part of the Nashville Symphony’s mission to make our concert hall accessible to everyone, the FREE Day of Music will feature some 30 local ensembles performing in various spaces throughout the building. The music will range from classical to jazz to pop, with an evening concert by the Nashville Symphony in Laura Turner Concert Hall.

Summer Festival, June 17-18, 24-25 & July 8-9: Nashville Symphony welcomes the summer with three weekend concerts of music designed to inspire, entertain and delight. Come early and enjoy a casual supper in the Schermerhorn’s inviting courtyard! During its run, the Summer Festival will present several top-rank guest artists, including cellist Alban Gerhardt (July 8-9), who will showcase his mastery of Saint-Saëns’ First Cello Concerto, a piece that places incredible demands on the soloist. We’ll also welcome the International Trombone Festival to town on June 24-25 with a special evening showcasing this bold, brassy instrument. Full programs for all three concerts are listed at NashvilleSymphony.org.

NEWLY ANNOUNCED FOR 2011/12!

Sonny Rollins, October 14: Your chance to see a living legend in his first Nashville appearance in nearly two decades. The man known as the “Saxophone Colossus” has performed with such iconic artists as Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis and Max Roach.

During the 1950s and ’60s, he helped transform the sound of jazz on his groundbreaking recordings Freedom Suite and The Bridge. Now in his 80s, Sonny Rollins remains a spellbinding performer and one of the music’s most accomplished, most exacting practitioners. This is one concert you will not want to miss! Please note that tickets to this concert are only available to 2011/12 subscribers.

Education&Community Engagement

enriching lives through music In addition to sharing the thrill of live music with concertgoers at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Nashville Symphony is dedicated to making sure that all people in Middle Tennessee have barrier-free access to music and to music education. Our goal is to become a vital resource for families, schools and at-risk populations throughout the region.

Each year, we serve 170,000 students, teachers and adults through a wide variety of education and community engagement programs. Already this season, Nashville Symphony musicians have contributed a cumulative total of more than 7,000 hours performing, speaking or teaching at local schools and other venues. These activities include classroom instruction, music lessons, free concerts for people of all ages, programs for adults and families, and much, much more. Here’s a look at some of our current education and community engagement offerings:

One Note, One Neighborhood

Classical Conversations

These free, casual talks take place in the Balcony Lobby one hour before all SunTrust Classical Series concerts, offering concertgoers an opportunity engage in insightful discussions with composers, guest artists, conductors and Nashville Symphony musicians.

OnStage at the Schermerhorn

Listen, learn and engage in lively dialogue with musicians and fellow music lovers at this free monthly event, which takes place on the stage of Laura Turner Concert Hall. An ensemble of orchestra musicians performs an informal concert, after which attendees are invited to ask questions and enjoy light refreshments. It’s a wonderful way to get to know your Nashville Symphony musicians. Our next program will take place 5:30-7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 13. Reservations are required, and registration opens on March 30.

For more information, call 615.687.6561 or email education@nashvillesymphony.org.

Curb Concerto Competition

On March 11 and 12, gifted high school music students from across the state will converge on the Schermerhorn to take part in this annual performance competition, which awards prizes to finalists, first runner-up and a grand prize winner.

In addition, the grand prize winner will be featured as soloist at the Nashville Symphony’s free Side-by-Side Concert, taking place 7 p.m. May 19 at Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

Since 2007, Nashville Symphony has partnered with W.O. Smith/Nashville Community Music School and Metro Nashville Public Schools to provide comprehensive music education services to underserved populations in our community.

This forward-thinking initiative originated in East Nashville’s Stratford cluster and has since expanded to the Pearl-Cohn cluster. Services offered include Young People’s Concerts, in which students attend a live performance at the Schermerhorn; Ensembles in the Schools, in which musicians work with students in the classroom; and professional development training, which provides teachers tools for incorporating music into classroom instruction. Dedicated students at these schools are offered the opportunity to take music lessons at W.O. Smith School, with instruments and transportation provided free of charge. One Note, One Neighborhood would not be possible without the support of Nissan North America, Inc., The Martin Foundation, Bank of America and Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County.

Kelly CorneLL Associate Principal/3rd Horn Hometown: Youngstown, Ohio Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 2010 This is your first season with the Nashville Symphony. How has it been, especially coming in right after the flood? Performing at various venues around town has certainly helped me to get to know Nashville and its neighborhoods a lot better! I spent 11 years in the Kansas City Symphony, where we had a similar pattern — although not quite to this extent! The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts is being built in Kansas City right now — it’s set to open this fall. It always felt like a dangling carrot, so being in Schermerhorn Symphony Center now is almost like instant gratification for me; it’s a very rewarding experience. Laura Turner Concert Hall is an amazing place to play, and the area backstage for the musicians is really great.

What’s it like to audition for a position in the orchestra? Preparing for an audition is an emotional roller coaster! You think you sound great one day and the next feel like a beginner. Even just a few weeks before my audition here, I was having doubts about my ability to represent my playing to the audition committee. It can be a real blow to your self-esteem to practice and prepare for so long and then crash and burn in the few minutes you are given to play. Luckily, I had a good day!

What made you want to play music for a living, and what made you decide to play the horn? I decided to play the horn so I could sit next to my best friend in fifth grade band. Seriously! When I went to college, I was a music education major, but at some point in my freshman year I realized that I really loved performing, so I switched my major to performance.

What’s the significance of being 3rd Horn — could you explain how a horn section works? Horn players generally get categorized into one of two types — high and low. We play in pairs — 1st (high) and 2nd (low), 3rd (high) and 4th (low). The principal player usually gets all the good solos, but the 3rd horn does her fair share, too — especially in Brahms. In the section here, I’m also associate principal, so I get to play principal sometimes. As assistant principal horn, Radu Rusu has to be the jack of all trades and has to be flexible enough to play high and low. Lucky for us, he is great at it!

Which composers write the best parts for French horn? Johannes Brahms and Richard Strauss are my top two picks!

We’ve just announced the Nashville Symphony’s 2011/12 season. What pieces are you most looking forward to performing? I’m really looking forward to playing Béla Fleck’s Concerto for Banjo — it should be interesting! Also, good old standbys (for me at least!) are Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloé, Brahms’ First Symphony and First Piano Concerto, and Stravinsky’s Petrushka. I haven’t yet played John Adams’ Doctor Atomic Symphony or Shostakovich’s Seventh Symphony — can’t wait! I’m also looking forward to working with some of my favorite soloists — Yo-Yo Ma, Manny Ax and Jon Kimura Parker. But most of all, I’m excited about playing in Carnegie Hall! march

Support the Arts: Bolt Them to Your Car!

You’ve seen them around town — those eye-catching license plates decorated with a saxophone-playing cat, a grinning fish and a colorful rainbow. But did you know they help a worthy cause? Sales of these specialty license plates provide more than twothirds of the funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grants programs.

So if you love the arts, invest in one of these license plates. Arts organizations that receive Tennessee Arts Commission grants are much better equipped to serve their communities and improve the quality of life for people of all ages and backgrounds.

When you purchase one of these specialty license plates, you are:

• Providing the primary source of funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grant programs • Funding projects in communities both large and small, urban and rural • Enhancing education and appreciation of the arts

• Building Tennessee’s next generation of artists and art students • Generating tax dollars for the state • Helping to train a qualified workforce • Leveraging private dollars for local arts activities

If you’d like to order a specialty license plate, you can visit your local County Clerk’s Office, or you can order one online at www.tennessee.gov/revenue/vehicle/ licenseplates/specialty.htm.

The Nashville Symphony thanks you for your support of the arts! Arts organizations can’t succeed in their missions without funds from local, state and national government agencies.

Look around the room...

We have a captivated audience that is totally engaged in tonight’s “Playbill” publication.

In today’s new economy it is more important than ever that your advertising message reaches your target audience!

ABOUT DENVER SHERRY Longtime Nashville Symphony Chorus member Denver Sherry was born July 1, 1937, in Boston, Massachusetts. On May 3, 2010, his beautiful tenor voice was silenced by a drunk driver.

Sherry received bachelor’s and master’s degrees vfrom the University of Florida and taught high school English for several years. He decided later in life to pursue his passion for music and enrolled in George Peabody College for Teachers to obtain an advanced degree. There he met and married Sandra (Sandy) Lee Lake. Sandy and Denver were married for almost 32 years and had one daughter, Tiffany Colleen, who is a registered nurse in the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Over the years, Sherry sang in the Blair Chorale, Belle Voce and many church choirs. He was a valued member of the Nashville Symphony Chorus for over 30 years, and he was the tenor section leader at Belle Meade United Methodist Church at the time of his death. In addition to singing, he helped the Nashville Symphony Chorus with pronunciations and translations of foreign languages, and he transliterated several Russian pieces in their entirety. He stepped in as choral director before the Chorus’s trip to Russia in 1997, when the director at the time was unable to attend at the last minute.

Sherry enjoyed collecting old movie papers, comics and baseball cards, and he accumulated so many items that he started a business buying and selling them. When he sold his collection of midget window cards (rare small movie posters) several years ago, he was dubbed “King of the Midget Cards” by the prestigious Heritage Auction Galleries.

He was a loving and beloved husband and father. His untimely loss has left a huge void, not only in the lives of his family and friends, but in the musical community of which he was such a vital part.

Hailed for performances that “brim with musicality,” Camerata Ireland brings together musicians from all over the world to celebrate the wealth of Irish musical talent that abounds in Ireland and beyond. The 40-piece chamber orchestra is under the artistic and musical direction of acclaimed pianist Barry Douglas and is comprised of exceptionally talented musicians, many of whom also play in other premier orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Hallé Orchestra and the Ulster Orchestra. The ensemble gave its inaugural concerts in April 1999 at Stormont Parliament Buildings in Belfast and in Dublin Castle. Both concerts were presented in association with Co-operation Ireland, the leading charity working to bring a lasting peace to the island of Ireland.

Camerata Ireland enjoys an active touring schedule and has performed on four continents. Their concerts in Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina marked the first visit by an Irish classical music ensemble to those countries. The ensemble made its second tour of the United States in the 2005/06 season, with concerts in New York, California, Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. Highlights of their domestic tour included concerts at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, the Waterfront Hall in Belfast and a gala performance to celebrate the new Cultural Centre in Armagh. The 2006/07 season saw the launch of the Camerata Ireland International Concert Series, with concerts at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris and at London’s Cadogan Hall. U.S. appearances included a concert for the Smithsonian Festival at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. In the 2007/08 season, the ensemble returned for concerts at the Kravis Center in Florida, the University of Notre Dame, Seattle’s Benaroya Hall and elsewhere. Camerata Ireland continues to perform around the world and returns to the U.S. in March 2011.

About the program Gioachino ROSSINI

GIOACHINO ROSSINI Born on February 29, 1792, in Pesaro, Italy; died on November 13, 1868, in the Passy district of Paris Overture to La gazza ladra Rossini composed La gazza ladra [The Thieving Magpie] in 1817. The Overture ranks among his finest and is particularly well-suited to stand-alone performances in the concert hall, thanks to Rossini’s imaginative orchestration, including a double shot of the crescendo technique that became synonymous with his name.

First performance: The complete opera was premiered on May 31, 1817, at La Scala Opera in Milan, with Alessandro Rolla conducting.

First Nashville Symphony performance: September 21, 1972, at War Memorial Auditorium with Music Director Thor Johnson.

Estimated length: 10 minutes Recommended listening: Riccardo Chailly conveys true Rossini style in his recording with the National Philharmonic Orchestra on Decca. The selections also include the magnificent overtures to William Tell, The Barber of Seville and a host of other delights.

When La gazza ladra [The Thieving Magpie] made a triumphant debut in 1817 — the year after Il barbiere di Siviglia — it was just one of four new Rossini operas to be introduced throughout Italy that year. The young Italian composer, only 25, already dominated the world of opera, and his fame was increasing with each new hit. But the constant demand for fresh material did not deter Rossini, who was based in Naples at the time, from challenging familiar conventions. He pressed for higher musical standards and even became known as “il Tedesco” (“the German”) because of the prominent role he allotted to the orchestra in his scores. Similarly, detractors called Rossini “Signor Crescendo,” attempting to caricature his musical experiments as little more than uncouth, overdone effects.

Despite the light comic touch its title might suggest, La gazza ladra is actually a mix of the comic and the serious: a melodramma that stops just short of turning tragic. The story, adapted from a popular French play, concerns a servant girl, Ninetta, who is charged with stealing a silver spoon from her mistress and is then condemned to death for the theft. Just in time to save her from execution, the true avian culprit is discovered. Earlier in the same year, Rossini had composed another opera about a downtrodden servant, his beloved La Cenerentola.

What to listen for

Rossini composed the opera quickly, as per custom (and necessity), but he crafted this Overture with special care. Instead of recycling material from unrelated scores as he did for Il barbiere’s famous overture, he wrote music specifically setting the tone for the opera to come. He begins by issuing a summons to attention with an antiphonal pair of snare drums. Innovative at the time, the device continues to command audiences, making this an especially effective concert opener. The drums frame a majestic introductory military march and also foreshadow the hangman’s summons. The regimental sounds of the march evoke a key element in the opera’s plot. Ninetta, who has been waiting for her beloved to return from the war, discovers that her father has been charged with desertion from the army. Her attempts to rescue him implicate her in the presumed theft, sending her to prison rather than into the arms of her handsome soldier.

The Overture’s Allegro section, which draws on music from Ninetta’s prison scene, features an unforgettable oboe theme and scintillating orchestration, while artfully working in references to the military context from the introduction. As a parade of instruments trades the waltz-like theme back and forth, Rossini intensifies the sense of anticipation with one of his signature long-range crescendos.

It involves not merely an increase in volume, but a methodical intensification through the layering of textures. The crescendo then starts over, building one more time until the entire ensemble makes a final ebullient sprint in the coda.

The Overture is scored for piccolo, flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, triangle and strings.

PHILIP GLASS Born on January 31, 1937, in Baltimore, Maryland; currently resides in New York City Concerto for Violin No. 2 “American Four Seasons” Glass composed his Violin Concerto No. 2 in the summer and autumn of 2009 on a joint commission from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Aspen Music Festival and School, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at University of philip glass Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and the Carlsen Center at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas. The Concerto represents another instance of the artistic collaboration that has characterized Glass’s creative outlook. He composed this substantial score in response to violin virtuoso Robert McDuffie’s request for a companion work to Vivaldi’s iconic Four Seasons concertos.

First performance: December 9, 2009, with Robert McDuffie as soloist and Peter Oundjian conducting the Toronto Symphony.

First Nashville Symphony performance: These concerts are the orchestra’s first performance.

Estimated length: 40 minutes Recommended listening: Robert McDuffie, for whom Glass wrote this work, recently released the premiere recording on the composer’s own label (Orange Mountain), with Marin Alsop conducting the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Also highly recommended for those interested in the multifaceted world of Philip Glass: the 2007 documentary by Scott Hicks titled Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts, which is readily available on Netflix.

“My work, generally speaking, is collaborative,” Philip Glass has remarked, “so I’m working with other artists all the time.” His collaborations with cutting-edge figures from literature, theater, film, ballet, the visual arts and even scientists has been a key stimulus in his evolution as an artist.

Far from allowing his own vision to become diluted in the mix, Glass finds inspiration and clarity through his creative partnerships. In the case of his Violin Concerto No. 2, the collaborative impetus originated with violin virtuoso Robert McDuffie, who suggested the idea of an “American Four Seasons” — hence the work’s subtitle.

McDuffie recalls that he fell in love with Glass’s music after hearing Gidon Kremer’s recording of the challenging Violin Concerto No. 1 from 1987. (Glass had written a much earlier Violin Concerto, in 1960, which he later withdrew from his catalogue.) McDuffie himself recorded the First Concerto more than a decade ago and has given it a prominent place in his repertoire. Close involvement with the composer’s stylistic traits and expressive qualities led McDuffie to think of parallels he admires march

from music history. He came to see Glass as “America’s Vivaldi” and envisioned a companion piece to the Four Seasons cycle of violin concertos.

Thanks to McDuffie’s persuasion, Glass became intrigued by the idea and agreed to write a four-movement violin concerto. Otherwise, he had no predetermined framework for a correspondence with the cycle of four violin concertos that are Vivaldi’s most familiar works. Actual composition of the Concerto No. 2 extended over just two seasons — summer and fall 2009 — though seven years transpired between the initial conversations and the final score.

McDuffie explains that he wanted to inspire Glass to write “a new work that would have a long shelf life.” Initially, the idea was to present the Concerto as part of a double bill with the Vivaldi cycle, and even to introduce an added theatrical dimension with a special lighting installation.

There was also discussion of emulating the Vivaldi model of providing accompanying texts. Vivaldi supplied his own series of programmatic sonnets for each of the seasons when he published his concertos. Glass toyed with excerpting some poems

by Allen Ginsberg for this purpose, but he had in the meantime set parts of Ginsberg’s Plutonian Ode for his Symphony No. 6 (2002) and decided to forgo the device of literary “clues” altogether. McDuffie endorsed that decision, remarking that Glass’s score “doesn’t need the Vivaldi magnet and stands perfectly well on its own.”

Glass also decided on an innovative approach to the traditional placement of cadenzas within the concerto’s movements. In their place, he composed four solo pieces that frame each of the movements: a brief introductory “Prologue” and three “Songs” between each of the movements.

These can be played as a separate solo suite.

What to listen for

The orchestration roughly corresponds to the baroque concerto grosso prototype, except Glass, on McDuffie’s suggestion, substitutes a synthesizer for the traditional harpsichord of the basso continuo. Otherwise, the violin is accompanied by string orchestra alone. “The First Concerto is much more thickly orchestrated in comparison,” notes McDuffie. “This slimmer orchestration

40

InConcert

ma rc h

2011

makes for a much quieter piece. There’s a dignity to it that gives me a wonderful canvas to explore.”

The Concerto reworks Glass’s trademark arpeggios and insistently repeated figurations into this context. Along with the solo prelude/ interludes, the four movements feature a range of challenges McDuffie finds stimulating. The first movement in particular is highly virtuosic, he points out, calling for double stops that have to be integrated into the lyrical line. The second, slow movement constitutes the work’s emotional core.

It is, says MacDuffie, “the concerto’s signature movement, for which Philip wrote achingly beautiful music.” A sense of “subtle rhythmic seduction” builds in the third and fourth movements.

The work culminates with driving energy in the final movement, which McDuffie characterizes as music of particularly vivid immediacy. “It builds into waves of rhythm and harmony to a kick-ass ending.” He refers to the synthesizer-heavy, amplified sound of the Philip Glass Ensemble that became famous in the 1970s and ’80s and attracted such musicians as Paul Simon and David Bowie. “I think I was able to catch Philip in the middle of a perfect storm in his career. This is music that is so personal and not derivative of anyone — including himself!”

In addition to solo violin, the Concerto is scored for synthesizer and string ensemble.

A Concerto for all seasons As Glass wrote Amervican Four Seasons, both violinist and composer discovered that they differed on which particular season each of the four movements seemed to evoke. The piece might be seen as a peculiarly openended version of program music, whereby one listener’s “Spring” is another’s “Winter.”

“Therefore,” wrote Glass, “there will be no instructions for the audience, no clues as to where spring, summer, winter and fall might appear in the new concerto — an interesting, though not worrisome, problem for the listener.

After all, if Bobby and I are not in complete agreement, an independent interpretation can be tolerated and even welcomed.”

PYOTR ILYCH TCHAIKOVSKY Born on May 7, 1840, in Votkinsk, Russia; died on November 6, 1893, in St. Petersburg, Russia Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17

PYOTR ILYCH TCHAIKOVSKY

Tchaikovsky composed the Symphony No. 2 (also known by the nickname “Little Russian”) in 1872, but he made substantial revisions in the winter of 1879-80, particularly to the first movement, before publishing the definitive version. Although the earlier score has been reconstructed and occasionally revived, the latter has become the standard performing version. The Second represents one of Tchaikovsky’s early attempts to come to terms with larger symphonic form. At the same time, he makes inventive use of Russian folk tunes for his thematic material in this exuberant and energetic score.

First performance: Nikolai Rubinstein conducted the premiere of the first version of the Symphony No. 2 in Moscow on February 7, 1873; Karl Zike led the first performance of the revised version on February 12, 1881, in St. Petersburg.

First Nashville Symphony performance: October 2 & 3, 1998, with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn at Tennessee Performing Arts Center.

Estimated length: 35 minutes Recommended listening: Carl Maria Giulini leads the Philharmonia Orchestra in an exciting account of the “Little Russian” Symphony, part of a two-CD set on EMI that also includes the Sixth Symphony, Francesca da Rimini and the Romeo and Juliet Overture. Another disc worth seeking out is Sir Georg Solti’s performance with L’Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire de Paris, released by Decca on a disc titled Romantic Russia. It pairs the Tchaikovsky with several pieces from members of Russia’s “The Five” for an interesting comparison.

The enormous popularity of the last three of Tchaikovsky’s six numbered symphonies tends to eclipse what he achieved in his earlier works in the genre. (The later unnumbered Manfred Symphony similarly suffers from unjust neglect.) Many music lovers who believe they know their Tchaikovsky fairly well are thus delighted to (re)discover a less-touted aspect of his personality in the Second Symphony. “Of all his major works,” writes biographer David Brown, “it is the most joyous and extroverted,” adding that it’s a pity the composer “never again attempted something of the same sort” as the Second’s boisterously inventive finale.

Tchaikovsky was still in the process of working out for himself what direction a Russian composer should take when he composed the Second Symphony. It represents his first major effort for the concert hall since his early breakthrough with the first version of the Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy of 1869. Russia’s rapidly expanding music scene was polarized at the time between two camps. On one side were those who pursued traditional conservatory-based training (as Tchaikovsky himself had done) and who looked to famous composers from the West as models — not only for such genres as the symphony, but also for techniques of developing musical ideas. On the other side stood the group known as “The Five” or “The Mighty Handful” (Kuchka — literally, “batch” — in Russian), who banded together in St. Petersburg with the aim of cultivating a self-reliant Russian art. (See sidebar on p. 43.)

Their dream of anchoring an art music tradition in authentically Russian sources and sensibilities led to a focus on the folk and liturgical music that were part of the everyday life of Russians. (American composers would face a somewhat similar situation as the desire for artistic independence from the domination of European music began to assert itself.)

Tchaikovsky followed a path of his own that reflected both his cosmopolitan outlook and his genuine affection for Russian tradition.

Though he remained largely unaligned with The Five, he borrowed what he needed from their approach to develop his unique synthesis of Western and Russian elements. The Second Symphony, as Brown observes, “embodied Tchaikovsky’s most wholehearted identification so far with some of the most fundamental musical attitudes” of the Russian nationalist composers.

The latter immediately recognized the kinship and responded with great enthusiasm when Tchaikovsky, in a visit to St. Petersburg over Christmas, played the finale of his new score on the piano at a party hosted by Rimsky-Korsakov.

“The whole company almost tore me to pieces with rapture,” the composer proudly reported.

The Symphony’s public premiere that season likewise proved a triumph. One critic gave it the nickname that has stuck: “Little Russian.” This tag wasn’t intended to suggest anything miniature about the piece, but refers to the composer’s patent use of folk tunes familiar from Ukraine, which was part of the Russian Empire at the time and was often given the now archaic epithet “Little Russia.” Tchaikovsky began work on the score during a contented summer spent with his sister’s family at their Ukrainian estate, where, as he later recalled, the household butler continually hummed a variant of the folk tune on which the finale is based while the composer toiled at the keyboard.

Despite the work’s huge success, Tchaikovsky decided several years later that he was unpleased with the Symphony’s length and some of its structural elements. His revisions most radically affected the first movement, compressing its span and making it hew more obviously to Western sonata form. There were also abridgements to the third and fourth movements and general rescoring to make the texture more transparent.

What to listen for

A single, slashing orchestral chord immediately yields to a plaintive tune from a solo horn. This melody, taken from the folk song “Down Along Mother Volga” (a “robber ballad” that tells of

42

InConcert

ma rc h

2011

a stormy trip along the Volga River), provides the basis for a rather lengthy, slow introduction — with perhaps a hint of the opening Schubert wrote for his “Great” C major Symphony.

The music speeds up for the first movement proper, which is launched with a brisk, rhythmically emphatic theme. Despite the C minor home key — the key of Beethovenian storm and stress — the tone here is more one of excited spirits than existential brooding. A yearning, lyrical second theme echoes elements of the opening folk tune, which Tchaikovsky then reintroduces at the start of the development. After a tidy recapitulation, the haunting Volga melody comes to the fore again in the coda, bringing this eventful movement to a surprisingly subdued close.

For his slow movement (here a quicker-paced Andantino), Tchaikovsky recycles a charming wedding march from an opera score he never completed and had destroyed (Undine, which he worked on in 1869). The march itself, with its catchy harmonic underpinning, frames the movement. Tchaikovsky introduces an ingratiating, lyrical counter-theme, while another folk tune (first entrusted to clarinet) claims our attention as the basis for the extensive and more dramatic middle section before the march and counter-theme return.

One characteristic of Tchaikovsky’s orchestration in the Second is his almost painterly attention to shifting textures, particularly in his use of woodwinds. You can hear this trait most obviously in the wonderful Scherzo, whose kaleidoscopic flickerings seem to look back to Berlioz and to Tchaikovsky’s Russian peers. The Scherzo proper, with its Midsummer Night’s Dream-like colors, shape-shifts from triple to duple meter for the faux-peasant revelry of the middle Trio section.

The finale, which made such an impression on the composer’s Russo-centric colleagues (and of which the self-critical Tchaikovsky was himself quite proud) is marvelously inventive.

The chorale-like call to attention at the start turns out to be a humorously pompous disguise for the lightweight Ukrainian folk tune known as “The Crane,” which immediately takes over.

Tchaikovsky gets a dazzling amount of mileage

out of this humble material and exploits the rhythmic kick inherent in the tune.

Set in C major, the finale gives the impression of a set of variations, which happen not so much in the tune as in the continually changing orchestral background, a technique favored by The Five. The movement proceeds in basic sonata form. A second subject plays off another kind of dance-like rhythm, which becomes intriguingly entangled with “The Crane” as the development sets out on unexpected harmonic excursions.

The crash of a gong marks the end of the recapitulation, its hint of temperamental drama amiably dissipated by the head-spinning frolic of the coda.

The Symphony is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam and strings.

The Five Tchaikovsky had a markedly ambivalent relationship with “The Five,” an influential, St. Petersburg-based group who espoused Russian nationalism as the proper direction for composers to follow. Taking their inspiration from Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857), The Five included Mily Balakirev (1837-1910), Modest Mussorgsky (1839-81), Alexander Borodin (1833-87), César Cui (1835-1918) and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) as the young pup of the group. Despite the mutual criticism they sometimes leveled at each other, Tchaikovsky came closest to The Five’s objectives of using “authentic” Russian material in his Second Symphony.

About the artists ROBERT McDUFFIE, violin

GRAMMY®-nominated artist Robert McDuffie has appeared as soloist with most of the major orchestras of the world. In 2009, he gave the world premiere of Philip Glass’s American Four Seasons — a work written for him — with the Toronto Symphony.

During the 2010/11 season, McDuffie will embark on a 30-city U.S. tour with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, pairing Glass’s concerto with Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. He will also perform American Four Seasons as soloist with the Düsseldorf Symphony, with the Prague Philharmonia at the Prague Spring Festival, with the National Symphony of Mexico, the Poznan Philharmonic of Poland, and the Louisiana and San Antonio symphonies. He will play the Barber Violin Concerto with the Utah and Madison symphonies.

Additional engagements this season include performances with the Zürich Chamber Orchestra at the Zürich Tonhale and a U.S. tour with the McDuffie-Dutton-Kirshbaum Trio.

McDuffie recorded American Four Seasons with the London Philharmonic and Marin Alsop on the Orange Mountain Music label. His acclaimed Telarc and EMI recordings include the violin concertos of Mendelssohn, Bruch, Adams, Glass, Barber, Rózsa, Bernstein and William Schuman, along with a collection of Viennese violin favorites. He has been profiled on NBC’s Today, CBS Sunday Morning, PBS’s Charlie Rose, A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts and in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Future plans include a U.S. tour in 2012 with the Düsseldorf Symphony and Andrey Boreyko, performing the Mendelssohn and Bruch violin concertos. Future tours of American Four Seasons, paired with the Vivaldi Four Seasons, have been planned in Europe for the fall of 2011, and in Asia for the fall of 2012.

About the Artists LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO

For more than 40 years, Ladysmith Black Mambazo have married the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music. The result is a musical and spiritual alchemy that has touched audiences representing every corner of the religious, cultural and ethnic landscape.

Assembled in the early 1960s by Joseph Shabalala — then a young farm boy turned factory worker — the group borrows heavily from a traditional music called isicathamiya (is-cot-a-ME-Ya), which developed in the mines of South Africa, where black workers were taken by rail to work far away from their homes and their families. Poorly housed and paid, the mine workers would entertain themselves after a six-day week by singing songs into the wee hours on Sunday morning. When the miners returned to the homelands, this musical tradition returned with them.

Shabalala says his conversion to Christianity in the 1960s helped define the group’s musical identity, but he’s quick to point out that the message is not specific to any one religious orientation. “This music gets into the blood, because it comes from the blood,” he says. “It evokes enthusiasm and excitement, regardless of what you follow spiritually.” In the mid-1980s, Paul Simon visited South Africa and incorporated Black Mambazo’s rich harmonies into his Graceland album — a landmark recording that won the 1986 GRAMMY® Award for Best Album.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo have recorded with numerous artists from around the world, including Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Sarah McLaughlin, Mavis Staples and Ben Harper.

About the artist

AL DI MEOLA

A guitar virtuoso of the highest order, Al Di Meola has also been recognized over the past 30 years as a prolific composer and respected artist with more than 20 recordings. A pioneer of blending world music and jazz, Di Meola continues to reflect the rich influence of flamenco, tango, Middle Eastern, Brazilian and African music in his work. Throughout his celebrated career, his fascination with complex rhythmic syncopation, lyrical melodies and sophisticated harmony has been at the heart of his music, earning him critical accolades, three gold albums and more than 6 million in record sales worldwide.

His creative collaborations to date include his current New World Sinfonia band; his electric Tour de Force group with Jan Hammer, Anthony Jackson, Steve Gadd and Mingo Lewis; the internationally acclaimed Trio with fellow guitar superstars John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia; the Rite of Strings trio with Stanley Clarke and Jean-Luc Ponty; and the ’70s fusion supergroup Return To Forever with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White.

Di Meola began rehearsing new music with his New World Sinfonia band in preparation for a coast-to-coast tour of the States in early 2009, followed by tours of Europe and the Middle East. Di Meola calls his bandmates in the New World Sinfonia “the best group of musicians so far in my career.”

A native of New Jersey who still resides in the Garden State, Di Meola grew up with the music of Elvis Presley, The Ventures and The Beatles. He naturally gravitated to guitar as a youngster and by his early teens was already an accomplished player. His earliest role models in jazz included guitarists Tal Farlow and Kenny Burrell, as well as fusion innovator Larry Coryell. In 1971, he enrolled at the Berklee BlairPAM10-11_ad:Layout College of Music 1in6/30/10 Boston.1:14 PM Page 1

Di Meola has recorded with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti, Paul Simon and Dave Matthews, classical guitarist Manuel Barrueco and Japanese jazz pianist Yutaka Kobayashi. Di Meola has also worked and recorded with Carlos Santana, Steve Winwood, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Milton Nascimento, Egberto Gismonti, Stevie Wonder, Les Paul and many more.

He has been particularly enamored over the past 20 years by the tango music of the late Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla, whose compositions he has interpreted over time. “Piazzolla had a profound effect on my development as a musician and as a person,” he says. “We became close friends, often communicating by mail.

And during the course of this friendship my admiration and desire to learn more about this great man intensified.”

The prolific Di Meola plans to document his latest compositions with both live and studio recordings with the New World Sinfonia. Clearly, there are many chapters yet to come in the story of Al Di Meola, but in his 35 years as a professional musician, he’s established a rich legacy that has secured a place for him in the gallery of guitar greats.

joan tower

Joan Tower composed Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman in 1986 on a commission from the Houston Symphony and dedicated the score to conductor Marin Alsop. This is the first in what became a series of five fanfares sharing that title. It ranks among the most frequently performed works by a living American composer. Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man served as inspiration for Tower to write her powerful celebration of adventurous women.

First performance: January 10, 1987, with Hans Vonk leading the Houston Symphony.

First Nashville Symphony performance: September 9, 1997, at the Grand Ole Opry House with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn.

Estimated length: 4 minutes Recommended listening: Marin Alsop leads the Colorado Symphony in all five of Tower’s series of fanfares (Koch). The Nashville Symphony has had great success with its 2008 recording, conducted

by Leonard Slatkin, of Tower’s Made in America (an imaginative reinvention of the tune “America the Beautiful”), Tambor and Concerto for Orchestra (Naxos). The disc won three GRAMMY® Awards: Best Classical Album, Best Orchestral Performance and Best Classical Contemporary Composition.

C

omposer Joan Tower has enjoyed uncommon success, not just as a woman in the male-dominated classical canon, but as a contemporary composer whose work has won favor with a widespread audience. Tower spent part of her youth in Bolivia, where her father was engaged in projects as a mining engineer. Her exposure to South American music enhanced the feeling for vibrant color and percussion that became one characteristic of her work. Back in the United States, she studied piano and composition and cofounded the Da Capo Chamber Players, a new-music group, in 1969, performing with them as pianist until the mid-1980s.

Tower’s own compositions were initially oriented toward the postwar avant-garde and focused on chamber ensemble. Her debut orchestral work, Sequoia (1981), opened up a new path, and in 1990 Tower was the first woman to win the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for Silver Ladders. She wrote the latter as composer-in-residence for the St. Louis Symphony, where Leonard Slatkin became one of her foremost champions.

Among her major influences, Tower points to Beethoven, Stravinsky, Debussy and jazz. She is passionately committed to reestablishing lines of communication between contemporary composers and audiences. Copland, who addressed the same issue following an earlier phase of modernist experimentalism in his own work, serves as the point of departure for Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman, which Tower dedicates “to women who take risks and who are adventurous.” Between 1986 and 1993, she produced a total of five fanfares with this title, calling for various configurations of brass alone or brass and percussion.

What to listen for

Tower notes that the first theme of the Fanfare No. 1 suggests a likeness with the beginning theme of Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man. Her scoring for brass and percussion is modeled on Copland’s instrumentation, but she adds her own signature by expanding the percussion considerably. With its mix of tuned and untuned instruments, this section even resembles a miniature orchestra. Moreover, Tower packs a greater variety of thematic material and textural contrast

into her fanfare. Each of the themes is characterized by a contrasting rhythmic profile, from hints of Renaissance grandeur in the trumpets’ opening flourishes to the steely muscularity of the lower brass.

Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman is scored for 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani and 2 percussion players (snare drum, large and medium bass drum, cymbals, high and medium gongs, large tam-tam, tom-toms, medium temple blocks and triangle) aaron copland

AARON COPLAND Born on November 14, 1900, in Brooklyn, New York; died on December 2, 1990, in North Tarrytown, New York Fanfare for the Common Man Copland composed his brass-and-percussion Fanfare for the Common Man in 1942, completing the manuscript score on November 6. Commissioned as one of a series of fanfares to support the Allied struggle in World War II, the piece has endured as an icon of Copland’s “American sound.”

First performance: March 12, 1943, with Eugene Goossens leading the Cincinnati Symphony.

First Nashville Symphony performance: May 1, 1977, at the Grand Ole Opry House with Music Director Michael Charry.

Estimated length: 4 minutes Recommended listening: Leonard Bernstein’s classic account with the New York Philharmonic on Sony/BMG is coupled with other Copland favorites, including Appalachian Spring and El Salón México.

A

aron Copland’s best-known compositions have become sonic national monuments that seem to embody the authentic “American spirit.” In fact, Copland arrived at what is nowadays often labeled his “populist style” only after a searching period of experimentation. His earlier years were spent investigating a spectrum of possibilities, from European modernism to the vernacular of jazz.

Copland’s desire to communicate with a wider audience was naturally heightened by the collective experience of the Depression, and in the 1930s his name gained greater prominence through the music he wrote for ballet, theater and film.

World War II likewise had a powerful impact on composers at the time (including, on a much grander scale, Sergei Prokofiev in his Symphony No. 5, the work that concludes this program). Soon after the U.S. entry into the war, Copland wrote his public occasional piece Lincoln Portrait. The same year, 1942, brought an invitation from Eugene Goossens, then music director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, to contribute to a project of fanfares for brass and percussion intended to serve as “stirring and significant contributions to the war effort.”

Goossens, a former protégé of Sir Thomas Beecham in England, had become a prominent newmusic champion during his tenure with the Cincinnati Symphony (1931-46) and commissioned a total of 18 fanfares from a who’s who of contemporary composers, including Henry Cowell, Virgil Thomson and Howard Hanson. While the titles of the other fanfares alluded directly to the U.S. Allies or branches of the military, Copland opted for his unexpected title since, as he later recalled, “It was the common man, after all, who was doing all the dirty work in the war and the army. He deserved a fanfare.”

What to listen for

Copland develops an austere sound picture that nonetheless conveys majesty and strength. The percussion takes the spotlight at the opening, mixing a sense of ceremony with the theatrical. Marked “very deliberate,” the tempo is stately and dignified rather than martial. The trumpets first play the main motif in unison. As the rest of the brass join in, Copland adds harmonies and echo effects, increasing march

the impression of spaciousness. A surprise turn of harmony, from the opening B-flat to D major, introduces a note of expectant aspiration in the final measures.

JAMES MACMILLAN Born on July 16, 1959, in Kilwinning, Scotland; currently resides in Glasgow Veni, Veni, Emmanuel

MacMillan composed Veni, Veni, Emmanuel [O Come, O Come, Emmanuel] on a commission from Christian Salvesen PLC for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra between late 1991 and Easter 1992; he dedicates the score to his parents. This vividly colorful percussion concerto is MacMillan’s most popular work to date, having received several hundred performances around the world. Based on Advent plainchant, Veni, Veni, Emmanuel blends elements of programmatic storytelling with the composer’s passionate Catholic faith and fuses a wide range of stylistic sources into a uniquely personal voice.

First performance: August 10, 1992, at Royal Albert Hall in London, with Evelyn Glennie as soloist and Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducting the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

First Nashville Symphony performance: These concerts are the Nashville Symphony’s first to feature this piece.

Estimated length: 28 minutes Recommended listening: Evelyn Glennie has recorded Veni, Veni, Emmanuel with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Jukka-Pekka Saraste (BMG), while Colin Currie’s account is with the Ulster Orchestra led by Takuo Yuasa (Naxos).

“In an age when populism and modernism seem like irreconcilable poles,” writes the BBC’s Stephen Johnson, “James MacMillan’s music continues to hold out the hope of integration, the healing of painful divisions, of transcendence.” The key to this accomplishment can perhaps be found, as Johnson suggests, in the Scottish composer’s natural gift for storytelling through the vehicle of music.

He has established himself as a master not only of orchestral composition; MacMillan’s extensive catalogue also encompasses large-scale sacred music, choral pieces, chamber works, two operas and music theater pieces. Many of these narratives — as is the case with the percussion concerto Veni, Veni, Emmanuel — draw on MacMillan’s faith as a devout Catholic.

MacMillan became interested in composing during his childhood in western Scotland, inspired by the pleasure his coal miner grandfather found in music. As a student at Edinburgh University, MacMillan began to nurture an enthusiasm for Scottish folk music while also absorbing an eclectic array of influences that would leave their mark on his maturing voice. These range from plainchant and Stravinsky to Krzysztof Penderecki’s richly textured scores to Olivier Messiaen’s visionary soundscapes.

It was in 1990 that MacMillan first came to international notice with the premiere of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie at the BBC Proms. Retelling the story of a woman who was burned as a witch in Scotland, this orchestral work helped pave the way for what remains the most successful composition of his career so far, Veni, Veni, Emmanuel. He composed the latter for fellow Scot and percussion virtuoso Evelyn Glennie, whose premiere at the 1992 Proms ushered in a new wave of percussioncentered music.

What to listen for

MacMillan structures Veni, Veni, Emmanuel as a single movement, though the work can be parsed as an uninterrupted sequence of five sections. The composer points out that the period of its composition

2011

— from Advent in 1991 to Easter Sunday the following year — is significant: “On one level, it is a purely abstract work in which all the musical material is drawn from the 15th-century French Advent plainchant. On another level, it is a musical exploration of the theology behind the Advent message.”

Following is an excerpt from MacMillan’s own description: “It begins with a bold, fanfare-like ‘overture’ in which the soloist presents all the instrument types used throughout. When the soloist moves to gongs and unpitched metal and wood, the music melts into the main meat of the first section — music of a more brittle, knottier quality, propelled forward by various pulse rates evoking an ever-changing heartbeat.

“Advancing to drums and carried through a metrical modulation, the music is thrown forward into the second section, characterized by fast ‘chugging’ quavers, irregular rhythmic shifts, and the ‘hocketing’ [i.e., splaying out among different voices] of chords between one side of the orchestra and the other. Eventually, the music winds down to a slow central section that pits cadenza-like expressivity on the marimba against a floating tranquillity in the orchestra which hardly ever rises above ppp. Over and over again, the orchestra repeats the four chords which accompany the words ‘Gaude, Gaude’ from the refrain of the plainsong [on which the piece is based]. They are layered in different instrumental combinations and in different speeds, evoking a huge distant congregation murmuring a calm prayer in many voices.

“A huge pedal crescendo on E-flat provides a transition to section four, which reintroduces material from the ‘hocket’ section under a virtuoso vibraphone solo. Gradually, one becomes aware of the original tune floating slowly behind all the surface activity. The climax of the work presents the plainsong as a chorale followed by the opening fanfares, providing a backdrop for an energetic drum cadenza. In the final coda, the all-pervasive heartbeats are emphatically pounded out on drums and timpani as the music reaches an unexpected conclusion.

“The heartbeats which permeate the whole piece offer a clue to the wider spiritual priorities behind the work, representing the human presence of Christ.”

Veni, Veni, Emmanuel is scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets (2nd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons (2nd doubling contrabassoon), 2 horns, trumpets, 2 trombones, timpani and strings. The solo percussionist plays the following: 2 tam-tams, 2 snare drums, 2 congas, 6 tom-toms, 2 timbales, pedal bass drum, 6 Chinese gongs, 6 temple blocks, log drum, 2 woodblocks, 2 cowbells, marimba, mark tree, large cymbal, sizzle cymbal and tubular bells. (The orchestral musicians are to play bells or two pieces of loud clanging metal at end of the work.)

“His rediscovery of his native land only made him lean more strongly on music of utter simplicity and directness,” Aaron Copland wrote about Prokofiev, a few years before the Russian composer’s Fifth Symphony received its triumphant premiere. Prokofiev had come of age as an avantgarde wunderkind, forsaking Russia during the Revolution for almost two decades of exile in the West. Eventually homesickness got the better of him, and he decided in the mid-1930s to resettle in his homeland for good.

Back in the USSR, he landed — in Shostakovich’s memorable phrase — “like a chicken in the soup.” Prokofiev would indeed soon discover the challenge of navigating his way through official cultural policy in his musical choices. (See the sidebar on facing page.) During his final years, the composer came under vicious attack in a humiliating show trial and was accused of running afoul of Stalinist ideology. His alleged crime was the catch-all charge of “formalism,” i.e., writing too individualistically and flirting with “decadent” modernism.

But with the Symphony No. 5, which the composer said marked “the culmination of an entire period in my work,” Prokofiev enjoyed the high point of his public success. He received the sort of acclaim usually reserved for a military hero. When he lifted his baton to conduct the world premiere in January 1945, the distant sound of salvos celebrating the Red Army’s latest victory against the Germans as they crossed the Vistula River reverberated in the concert hall. Pianist Sviatoslav Richter, a famous Prokofiev performer, recalled the dramatic moment as the composer waited for the cannons to stop firing: “There was something very significant, very symbolic in this. It was as if all of us — including Prokofiev — had reached some kind of shared turning point.”

The enthusiasm proved, moreover, to be international. In November 1945, shortly after Serge Koussevitzky led the Boston Symphony in

the American premiere, Prokofiev appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

The summer of 1944, when Prokofiev wrote the Fifth, was an idyllic period for him, despite the privations of the war. The state-sponsored Composers’ Union had invited a number of leading figures to gather at a former aristocratic country estate-turned-collective farm, to the north of Moscow, which bore the Orwellian name “House of Rest and Creativity.” Yet this retreat did in fact supply just what the methodical Prokofiev needed to sustain his muse as he turned to ideas he’d gathered over the preceding years for use in his new symphony.

What to listen for

The Fifth follows the traditional four-movement plan, but its architecture is based on an interesting large-scale symmetry. The first and third movements, similar in proportion, are relatively slow and contain the weightiest music, while aspects of the fast-paced second and fourth movements mirror each other. The Symphony opens with an unadorned melody, shared by flute and bassoon, which covers a wide span and announces the inherently lyrical character of Prokofiev’s material.

It sounds unassuming at first, yet as the theme becomes fleshed out with varied instrumental colors and unexpected harmonic turns, its suitability for epic treatment is revealed. The meter shifts for a meandering second theme, also given first by the woodwinds, while subsidiary ideas are added to the mix before a development section rich in Prokofiev’s trademark swerves of key. A darker note of violence enters with the dissonantly climactic restatement of the main theme, as if tempered by the experience of war.

Prokofiev offers a dramatic contrast in the snaking clarinet tune that opens his second movement. (Notice the prominent role this instrument plays throughout Prokofiev’s score.) The air is mischievous and scherzo-like, with touches of syncopated music hall entertainment, and echoes

the composer’s famously cheeky earlier style. Some of the material used here originated with Prokofiev’s sketches for the Romeo and Juliet score. An elaborate middle section shifts the meter and works in colors from the percussion. Prokofiev stages his return to the first section with a newly orchestrated version of the movement’s opening material, this time remarkably menacing in effect.

In the Adagio, a sense of looming tragedy and grief underlies the serene, lyrical poise of the expansive main theme, enhanced by the restlessness of the triplet accompaniment. The violins’ soaring line is reminiscent of the passionate love music from Romeo and Juliet. Another theme, whose dotted rhythm recalls the Socialist realism in music main theme of the first movement, According to the doctrine officially prescribed for comes to the fore in the middle secartists during Stalin’s rule of the Soviet Union, the tion.

As the Symphony approaches its conclusion, the music makes an astonishing detour, with the main theme given a shrieking, frenetic workout. The rhythm becomes alarmingly mechanistic, even diabolical, not unlike the “forced joy” some listeners detect at the end of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony. Whether or not the intention is an ironic subversion of the symphony-as-victory model, Prokofiev whips the ensemble into a state of manic excitement to bring down the curtain.

Prokofiev’s score calls for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, tambourine, snare drum, woodblock, bass drum, tam-tam, piano, harp and strings.

LegacySociety

Nashville Symphony Legacy Society l e av i n g a l e g a c y, b u i l d i n g a f u t u r e The Nashville Symphony Legacy Society honors those patrons who have included the Symphony in their estate planning

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.
