Program Notes Lori Newman

Igor Stravinsky

Born 1882, Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg, Russia Died 1971, New York City, USA

Petrushka Suite (1910–11, rev. 1947)

Petrushka is the second of Igor Stravinsky’s groundbreaking 20th century ballets, sitting between the first, The Firebird of 1910, and the third, The Rite of Spring from 1913.

Petrushka marks a compositional departure for the composer; it is less in the vein of The Firebird, which held onto Stravinsky’s late 19th century influences of Rimsky-Korsakov (his teacher) and Tchaikovsky. In Petrushka, the composer begins to experiment and use blocks of sound over melodic development, bitonality, extreme rhythmic complexities, and orchestral colors which were previously unheard of.

All three of the ballets were written for the Ballet Russes, with the famed Sergei Diaghilev at the helm. After the success of The Firebird, Stravinsky and Diaghilev already had a general idea of what their next collaboration would entail. It would eventually become The Rite of Spring; however, before Stravinsky was willing to delve into its composition, he decided he needed a bit of a compositional palate cleanser and decided to begin work on what he referred to as a “Konzertstücke” for piano and orchestra. His inspiration: “I had in my mind a distinct picture of a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra with diabolical cascades of arpeggi. The orchestra, in turn, retaliates with menacing trumpet-blasts … and it ends in the sorrowful and querulous collapse of the poor puppet.”

“[Pétrouchka] is such a work of genius that I cannot contemplate anything beyond it.”

— Sergei Diaghilev

Diaghilev traveled to Switzerland to visit the composer, expecting to hear progress on The Rite. Instead, Stravinsky played him part of what he was composing at the time–the Konzertstücke with a programmatic puppet theme. Stravinsky writes of this exchange: “Soon afterwards Diaghilev came to visit me. … He was much astonished when, instead of the sketches of The Rite, I played him the piece I had just composed and which later became the second scene of Pétrouchka. He was so much pleased with it that he would not leave it alone and began persuading me to develop the theme of the puppet’s sufferings and make it into a whole ballet.”

Stravinsky and Diaghilev collaborated with Alexandre Benois, an expert in Puppet Theater, and came up with the story of the puppet Petrushka.

The work premiered on June 13, 1911, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. The choreography was by Mikhail Fokine, Alexandre Benois designed the sets and costumes, Pierre Monteux conducted, and Vaslav Nijinsky performed the title role.

Petrushka was an immediate success and emboldened Stravinsky to compose The Rite of Spring, arguably the most groundbreaking work of the 20th century. Stravinsky writes: “The success was good for me, in that it gave me the absolute conviction of my ear just as I was about to begin Le Sacre du printemps [The Rite of Spring].”

For the main character, Stravinsky chose Petrushka (also known as Punch or Pulcinella in other renderings)—a stock character

“I had in my mind a distinct picture of a puppet, suddenly endowed with life, exasperating the patience of the orchestra …”

— Igor Stravinsky

of Neapolitan puppetry from the Italian commedia dell’arte of the 16th century. The other main characters in the ballet are the Charlatan and two other puppets: a ballerina and a Moor; the setting is St. Petersburg’s Admiralty Square during the Shrovetide fair.

(The Shrovetide fair is a Russian pre-Lent celebration the likes of Carnival or Mardi Gras.) The ballet is broken into four scenes or tableaux: The Shrovetide Fair, Petrushka’s Cell, The Moor’s Room, and The Shrovetide Fair (Evening).

The first tableau opens at the Shrovetide fair, and the orchestral colors and complex rhythms represent the bustling crowd.

While much of Stravinsky’s works contain Russian influences, never are they more apparent than in Petrushka, where Russian folksongs are prevalent. One such folk song occurs when a boy and a girl begin to dance to a melody played by a hurdy-gurdy at the fair (flute and clarinet melody). A drumroll announces the arrival of the Charlatan, who presents three puppets: Petrushka, a rather hapless sort; a beautiful ballerina; and a brutish Moor. The Charlatan casts a magic spell with his flute, and the puppets come to life (flute cadenza). The crowd is shocked when the Charlatan makes the trio dance to a lively Russian melody, and then they jump off the stage and dance unassisted. Not only have the puppets been brought to physical life by the flute’s spell, but they have also been ascribed human emotions.

The second tableau begins with the Charlatan kicking Petrushka into a small, dark cell that contains a portrait of the Charlatan, a constant reminder of Petrushka’s pathetic circumstance. Petrushka is overcome with anger toward the Charlatan and frustration for his lot in “life.” It is here where the “Petrushka chord” first makes an appearance. The chord is a conflation of two major chords: C and F#, which are the dissonant interval of a tritone apart.

Petrushka tries to escape, but his efforts are useless. Suddenly, the Ballerina enters the cell. Petrushka proclaims his love for her, but she rejects him. continued on 8

Program Notes . continued from 7 The third tableau shows us that the Moor is “living” in far superior quarters to those of Petrushka, his room decorated lavishly with bright colors. The Moor is not terribly bright, as he tries to cut, and then prays to, a coconut. The Charlatan delivers the Ballerina to the Moor’s room, where she realizes she is drawn to his rawness. She plays a tune for him on the trumpet (one of the most feared excerpts for orchestral trumpeters). They then begin to dance an uneven waltz (flutes, trumpet, harp [and undulating English horn]). Petrushka interrupts the seduction (muted trombone), the three argue, and Petrushka is chased out by the Moor.

The final tableau returns the audience to the Shrovetide fair, but it is now evening.

There are several dances from members of the crowd, once again employing Russian folksongs. The celebration is interrupted when Petrushka runs across the stage, with the Moor chasing him, and the Ballerina chasing the Moor. The Moor catches up to Petrushka and kills him with one stroke of his scimitar. The police are summoned, but the Charlatan picks up the lifeless straw puppet to show that no crime was committed.

Petrushka’s ghost then appears on top of the theater, and the Charlatan flees in terror.

The fairly unsatisfying, for lack of a better word, ending caused Diaghilev some consternation. Stravinsky writes: I wanted the dialogue for trumpets in two keys at the end to show that [Pétrouchka’s] ghost is still insulting the public. I was, and am, more proud of these last pages than of anything else in the score. Diaghilev wished to have me change the last four pizzicato notes in favor of ‘a tonal ending,’ as he so quaintly put it, though two months later, when Pétrouchka was one of the Ballets [Russes’s] greatest successes, he denied he had ever been guilty of his original criticism.

Diaghilev clearly got over his misgivings, as he was later quoted as saying, “[Pétrouchka] is such a work of genius that I cannot contemplate anything beyond it.”

Years later, Stravinsky revised the original ballet score for better use on the concert stage. Of the revision he states his reasoning: “[The revision was done] with the dual purpose of copyrighting it and of adapting it to the resources of medium-sized orchestras.

Ever since the first performance of the score, I had wanted to balance the orchestral sound more clearly in a few places, and to effect other improvements in the instrumentation.

The orchestration of the 1947 version is, I think, much more skillful.” ●

2014/15 Season

“The Concerto is meant to sound like the hidden breeze that stirs the treetops in the parks; it should only be as strong as a butterfly and as delicate as a veronica [a pass with the cape at a bullfight].”

— Joaquín Rodrigo

Joaquín Rodrigo

Born 1901, Sagunto, Valencia, Spain Died 1999, Madrid, Spain

Concierto de Aranjuez (1939) Joaquín Rodrigo lost his eyesight at the age of three due to diptheria. This, however, did not stop him from traveling the world in pursuit of his musical studies. He studied with the famous composer Paul Dukas at the École Normale de Musique in Paris, with further studies at the Paris Conservatory and the Sorbonne. He also traveled extensively throughout Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. He returned to his native Spain in 1939 after the Spanish Civil War had ended, and he soon became one of Spain’s leading musicians. In 1947, the Manuel de Falla chair was created for Rodrigo at Madrid University, a position he held for the rest of his life.

Rodrigo’s compositional style is very conventional and tonal, emulating Spain’s history and culture and often employing Spanish folk tunes. The Concierto de Aranjuez is Rodrigo’s most famous work, and the concerto embodies the composer’s Spanish heritage and musical style. It was written in 1939 for the guitarist Regino Sainz de la Maza. Rodrigo said his concerto “… seems to bring to life the essence of eighteenthcentury court life, where aristocratic distinction blends with popular culture …

The Concerto is meant to sound like the hidden breeze that stirs the treetops in the parks; it should only be as strong as a butterfly and as delicate as a veronica [a pass with the cape at a bullfight].”

The first movement opens with the guitar strumming and toying with a six pattern

that is sometimes in two and sometimes in three—cross rhythms that suggest flamenco influences. This continues for quite some time, and finally, the strings take up the pattern. It is over a minute before any melodic or thematic material is introduced.

The opening rhythm is found throughout the movement and acts as a unifying element.

The second movement is one of the most famous concerto movements in the classical music repertoire. Its haunting minor mode, dialog between the soloist and English horn, and extended guitar cadenza produce a melancholy ambience that keeps audiences captivated. The finale is a set of variations based on a courtly 16th century folk tune.

Like the first movement, it dallies with the rhythmic interplay of two and three.

The Concierto de Aranjuez instantly became a success in Spain, but it took a while for the rest of the world to catch on. Not until 1950 when Narciso Yepes performed the work in Paris, did it become the popular favorite it is today. In 1960, Miles Davis and composer Gil Evans released the album Sketches of Spain, which features an arrangement of the second movement for flugelhorn and trumpet with accompaniment. This album helped to bring the concerto to the fore of musical and critical awareness, although Rodrigo was dubious of the arrangement. ●

Arturo Márquez

Born 1950, Álamos, Sonora, Mexico

Danzón No. 2 (1994) Arturo Márquez follows in the footsteps of the venerated Mexican composers Carlos Chávez, Silvestre Revueltas, and José Pablo Moncayo. Márquez was born into a musical family in Álamos, Sonora, Mexico and

Program Notes . completed studies in Mexico, Paris, and the United States. He has composed chamber and orchestral music, with his most popular works being the eight Danzónes written for various instrumentations.

The danzón is a dance of Cuban origin, evolving from the 19th century contredanse and Cuban habanera. It is still quite popular in Mexico, especially in Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Mexico City; Marquez states that in places like Mexico City, there are dance halls where only the danzón is allowed. The danzón is a couple’s salon dance in the form of a rondo (A-B- A-C-A, etc). Marquez spent time traveling to Veracruz and other locales to “learn the danzón’s rhythms, its form, its melodic outline” and “to understand that the apparent lightness of the danzón is only like a visiting card for a type of music full of sensuality and qualitative seriousness … which old Mexican people continue to dance with a touch of nostalgia and a jubilant escape toward their own emotional world.”

The Danzón No. 2 was written on a commission from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and premiered on March 5, 1994, performed by the University’s orchestra. The piece begins simply enough– just a clarinet with a small accompanying faction of claves, piano, and pizzicato strings.

The oboe then takes up the melody, and the clarinet and oboe share a dialog of the melodic material. The melody is restated again, bringing us to a faster section where rhythm becomes the driving force. A new, less relaxed melody is introduced in the flute and clarinet, which then gives way to the brass. The opening melody returns, this time played by a small complement of strings. More iterations of the melody follow, with varying instruments taking the lead. The rhythmic motive returns, and the solo trumpet leads the ensemble toward the rousing finish. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Meet the Musicians Lori Lovato clarinet Lori Lovato is a proud native New Mexican of several generations, stretching back to some of the earliest settlers in Albuquerque and Belen. Her family includes a cast of characters that lived on a ranch in the Manzano Mountains and others that were part of the original Atrisco Land Grant before New Mexico gained statehood. Her heritage has always been at the heart of her continuing commitment to New Mexico.

Across time and circumstances, Lori’s parents have been enthusiastic and constant supporters of her commitment to music. With their assistance, she attended Northwestern University to study with one of the world’s greatest clarinet teachers at that time, Robert Marcellus. After graduating, she returned to New Mexico and taught high school orchestra, jazz, symphonic, and marching band for ten years.

During the last year of her career directing and teaching high school students, Lori won a clarinet position in the New Mexico Symphony. At the same time, she was also accepted into a Master’s program at the

University of New Mexico to study with Keith Lemmons, Professor of Clarinet at UNM. Two years later, she graduated with a Master’s of Music, while also pursuing her interest in jazz with the legendary Eddie Daniels in Santa Fe. Her destiny and devotion to music came early in life. Lori recalls being inspired by several New Mexico Symphony musicians at her elementary school and exclaiming at that time, “I’m going to do that someday!” She became a member of the Albuquerque Youth Symphony and eventually performed the Mozart Clarinet Concerto her senior year of high school. She believes in the importance of music education and continues to be supportive of musical outreach programs with local organizations in hopes that it will inspire others, as she was inspired.

Lori is now clarinetist for the Santa Fe Symphony, New Mexico Philharmonic, Sphinx Symphony in Detroit, Performance Santa Fe Orchestra, San Juan Symphony, Opera SW Orchestra, Artist-Clinician for Backun Musical Services in Canada, and founding member of the New Mexico Woodwind Quintet.

She has appeared with the Albuquerque Chamber Soloists, Music at Angel Fire, Chamber Music Albuquerque, Chatter New Music, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Santa Fe Opera Orchestra, Santa Fe New Music, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Monterrey (Mexico), and toured with the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players.

This past summer, Lori performed at the California Napa Valley Festival del Sole along with other members of the Sphinx Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Pinchas Zukerman and Carlo Ponti Jr. While not performing or helping care for her parents, Lori enjoys brief getaways with her husband, Tom, to their 200-year-old adobe (a story in itself) in his hometown of El Rito, New Mexico. ●
