Programme Notes

KURT WEILL (arr. ROBERT RUSSELL BENNETT)

Symphonic Nocturne from Lady in the Dark (1940) Liza Elliot, a successful magazine editor, walks into a psychologist’s office seeking help.

Each day, she is plagued by vivid, unsettling dreams. Worse, she is haunted by a persistent earworm — a tune playing in her head, whose source she cannot remember.

only have spoken dialogue. Each dream sequence paints a great dramatic arc with a vast range of music: atmospheric ambiences, rowdy choruses, bluesy ballads, tender songs, and more. Weill himself described them as “one-act operas”.

So begins the play-musical Lady in the Dark. As the story unfolds, we move between Liza’s waking life and dreams, until she finally recalls the origin of the tune: “My Ship”, a song from her childhood. In the process, she confronts long-repressed childhood memories, allowing her to reclaim her sense of self-worth.

The Symphonic Nocturne performed today is an orchestral medley arranged by Robert Russell Bennett. The medley skilfully weaves Weill’s music into a continuous dreamscape. Even without words, the arrangement preserves the play-musical’s structure, allowing us to follow Liza’s journey of self-discovery.

The Symphonic Nocturne opens with flutes and bassoons gently humming the earworm stuck in Liza’s mind. The earworm drifts in and out of focus, before a soaring, yearning melody takes over. This starts the first dream sequence, the Glamour Dream, featuring the upbeat show-tune “Girl of the Moment”. But these fantasies of fame evaporate as the earworm returns.

First staged in 1941, Lady in the Dark was a three-way collaboration, with script by Moss Hart, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and music by Kurt Weill. Weill, German by birth, had been a successful composer for the stage in his native country. But in 1933, he had to flee Nazi Germany, and began rebuilding his career in America.

This musical was his first Broadway hit, re-establishing his reputation.

Next, we slide into the hazy harmonies of the Marriage Dream. A bolero emerges, with its incessant tambourine rhythm in the background, before morphing into a bittersweet song, “This is New”. Amidst shimmering orchestral wash, the horns triumphantly announce the earworm — this is Liza’s imaginary marriage. But subconsciously, Liza rejects this union, and the moment is shattered by the militaristic return of the bolero.

For its time, Lady in the Dark was startlingly modern with its fashionable subject matter, psychoanalysis.

Unfortunately, those theories are somewhat discredited today, and a shrewd viewer might notice outdated ideas of psychology and gender in the play-musical.

But another (still relevant) innovation was the use of music to signal the fantastical realm. The only scenes accompanied by music are three extended dream sequences; the remaining scenes in the waking-world

Amidst this indecisiveness, we are pulled into the Circus Dream, a carnival scene with bright brass fanfares and off-kilter 8

dances. Abruptly, it shifts gears into a bluesy, big band swing. This is Liza’s song, “The Saga of Jenny”, where she tries to explain her indecisiveness to the circus ringmaster. Although there are no lyrics in Bennett’s arrangement, he retains the narrative drive and contrasting stanzas.

At its climax, “The Saga of Jenny” abruptly fizzles away. The flutes begin humming the earworm again, but this time, Liza remembers its source — it blossoms into the full song “My Ship”, bringing the Symphonic Nocturne to a luminous close.

Programme Notes

SAMUEL BARBER

Violin Concerto (1939) The origin of Barber’s Violin Concerto has become quite the infamous tale.

Commissioned by wealthy businessman Samuel Simeon Fels, the concerto was to be premiered by Iso Briselli, a friend of Barber’s from the Curtis Institute. Delayed by the onset of the Second World War, Barber delivered the first two movements slightly late in October 1939, but Briselli seemed disappointed that they were “a bit too easy”. Troubles only worsened after Barber sent in the third movement.

Accounts differ, but Briselli is said to have found it either too technically difficult, or musically unsatisfying. Whatever his reasons were, he disavowed the work, and it was premiered in 1941 by a different violinist, Albert Spalding.

orchestra collapses in agitation. The violin plays a brief cadenza, and the movement fades away with a thudding timpani in the background.

The second movement begins with just the orchestra, developing a gentle melody, first sung by the oboe in its delicate upper register, then passed around the orchestra. Out of this, the solo violin emerges as though stirring from sleep. But this seems to awaken a painful memory, as the violin introduces a descending melody, punctuated by interjections from the brass. As the two melodies are woven together, the mood shifts imperceptibly from optimistic to mourning and back, sometimes even within the same phrase.

This is complemented by a wide palette of tone colours — the rich, lower register of the solo violin, its tender upper register, and the full variety of instruments in the orchestra.

Briselli was not entirely wrong regarding the first two movements: they certainly are not filled with virtuosic pyrotechnics as some other concertos are. However, the solo violinist is still very much frontand-centre, singing melodies over lush orchestral backing, and sometimes stepping forward for recitative-like soliloquies.

One might even be inclined to draw a connection between Barber’s vocal training at Curtis and his effortlessly flowing melodies and lyrical style.

If Briselli said the first two movements were “too easy”, the third movement must have been Barber’s retort. After a brief timpani roll, the soloist launches into quicksilver running triplets. From start to finish, they will play these fleet-footed figurations almost non-stop. Around this, the orchestra sparkles and dances with angular melodic shapes and bouncing rhythmic accompaniment. Quite aptly, Barber described this as a perpetuum mobile (literally, “perpetual motion”) — even when the soloist gets the occasional (wellearned) break, the orchestra takes over the running triplets instead. In the final moments, solo violin and trumpet echo and overlap phrases, creating a Doppler-like effect. Then, like a sprinter rounding the final bend, the solo violinist switches gears into semiquavers, bursting to the end of the concerto.

The first movement begins with exactly one of these lyrical themes, introduced by the solo violin. Later, the clarinets introduce a lighter, dance-like second theme. Throughout, violin and orchestra are intertwined in dialogue, the orchestra often responding like gentle ripples in the soloist’s wake. At the movement’s climax, the dance-like theme is transformed into a brass fanfare, before broadening and returning us to the first theme, now clothed in grandeur of the full orchestra.

After a recapitulation of the themes, the 10

Symphony No. 5 (1944) Sergei Prokofiev, no stranger to the trials of war, composed his Fifth Symphony in the summer of 1944, amidst the ongoing Second World War. While the world was engulfed in conflict, he opted not to reflect the destruction of war but instead expressed “the greatness of the human spirit”. Thus, the Fifth Symphony is filled with moments of warmth and measured optimism. But ultimately it has the same wartime origins as other works by contemporaries like Shostakovich and Khachaturian; Prokofiev does not shy away from using militaristic rhythms, bold brass writing, and generous use of the percussion battery as reminders of the war.

sets a tone of seriousness and grandeur, almost like a public statement of sorts.

This theme serves as the backbone of the entire movement, growing in size and breadth, and passed around different sections of the orchestra. Midway through this movement, the music becomes agitated, with energetic rhythmic figures and a bold brass figure moving it forward.

Nevertheless, amid all this intensity, the music nevertheless maintains a sense of poise. As the movement closes, the music slowly unwinds in a twisted but ultimately triumphant ending.

The second movement contrasts the nobility of the first movement with an energetic and spiky Allegro marcato, underpinned by an incessant, motoric rhythm. Prokofiev employs the wind and brass sections to throw in playful jabs and animated syncopations, giving the music a cheeky, sarcastic tone, similar to his Romeo and Juliet ballet, which was written around the same period. The trio section in comparison is more reminiscent of a dance, with fluttering woodwinds. Eventually, the motoric first section returns, haltingly at first, but then building in intensity, like a machine spinning back up into action. This all ends abruptly, as if Prokofiev is telling the audience“that’s enough”.

The premiere, conducted by Prokofiev himself on 13 January 1945 in Moscow, was famously interrupted by celebratory cannon fire, marking the Soviet advance into Nazi Germany. This moment was both historic and symbolic, showing the resilience and renewal that the music inside brought as contrasted with the conflict outside. Tragically, this would be the last time Prokofiev conducted one of his own works. A fall shortly after the premiere left him with a concussion that he never fully recovered from, and his creative output was further constricted when the Soviet authorities denounced his music for “formalist” tendencies, branding it ideologically inappropriate. Although this time period was the beginning of a long decline in Prokofiev’s health and freedom, the Fifth Symphony remains a towering affirmation of the human spirit.

The third movement switches things up with an elegiac Adagio. Opening with a dark and mysterious musical line, it salvages musical material from Prokofiev’s score for a short film “The Queen of Spades”, which was unfortunately never released due to Soviet censorship. An intense lament appears in the middle section, before being taken over by a funeral march. Driven by dotted rhythms, the music crashes into a massive, almost

The symphony opens with a lush and languid Andante. A broad and noble melody from the flute and bassoon (incidentally, the same pair of instruments that starts Weill’s Symphonic Nocturne) 11

horrific, climax. But the original melody returns intact, as if ignorant of what just occurred, before gradually fading into silence.

The fourth movement seemingly returns us to the stately mood of the first movement; in fact, the opening theme reappears in the cellos. However, the true character of the movement quickly emerges with an impish clarinet solo akin to a folk dance. As the movement continues, the music becomes more complex and increasingly ambiguous. What started out as a joyful finale begins to feel unstable, with wild scales, sudden tempo changes and unexpected harmonies. This culminates in a discordant coda, resembling a raucous ‘jamboree’, with wild, mechanical laughter. The effect is ambiguous: is this a true celebration, or merely a satire of one?
