noteS on the program

Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868) overture to Semiramide one of the most prolific opera composers of all time, gioachino rossini wrote nearly 40 operas, both serious and comic, by the time he was 37—then quit. For the rest of his long life he composed only sporadically and, except for church music, mostly small works he tossed off for the entertainment of his friends. he published more than 150 musical miniatures in a collection that he called Péchés de vieillesse (Sins of old age).

Semiramide was one of rossini’s ventures into opera seria. written on commission for Venice’s famed teatro la Fenice, it was his last opera for the italian stage before moving to France. Based on Voltaire’s play Semiramis, it is an oedipal tale about the Babylonian queen who connives with her lover to kill her husband but in turn falls in love with a young general, arsace, who, unknown to Semiramide or himself, is actually her son prince nina. it ends with arsace killing the guilty queen, condemning her lover to death and ascending the throne. according to his contract, rossini had 40 days to write the opera, but it took him only 33. the overture took him just a few hours—perhaps why it sounds so spontaneous and fresh. it is one of the few overtures rossini wrote that actually “belongs” to the opera it precedes, not borrowed from another one. in the long, slow introduction, four French horns intone a hymn-like passage from act i, while the main body of the overture begins with a theme from the introduction to the opera’s final scene.

Johann sebastian Bach (1685–1750) Brandenburg concerto no. 3 in g major, BwV 1048 the six Brandenburg concertos stand at the crossroads in musical history where chamber music and orchestral music went their separate ways. titled Concerts à plusieurs instruments (concertos for various instruments), the set was dedicated to christian ludwig, margrave of Brandenburg, who employed a modest orchestra that was in all probability too small and inexpert to play them. the Dedication Score, including Bach’s obsequious cover letter, has survived and now resides in the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek in Berlin. the mint condition of the manuscript indicates that the margrave’s orchestra seldom, if ever, performed them. these same concertos, however, were probably common fare at the court of leopold, prince of anhalt-köthen, Bach’s employer. letters and records indicate that the personnel in the köthen orchestra corresponded closely to the instrumental requirements of the concertos. Four of them, nos. 1, 2, 4 and 5, are true concerti grossi, requiring a solo instrument or group of instruments, requirements that correspond closely to better players in the prince’s orchestra.

Bach assembled the concertos between 1718 and 1721, although parts may have been written as early as 1708, borrowed from various orchestral works that Bach had already written over the years as courtly entertainment music on the highest level. Such recycling was standard practice for overworked composers of the 17th and 18th centuries. the concerto no. 3 is a true ensemble work, as if composed for a group of friends spending a musical evening together. in its original form it interweaves three groups of strings, each one consisting of a violin, a viola, and a cello, playing

28792 PAPI BH 13 1_4_2018 noteS on the program in turn the concertino (small group of instruments), and coming together to play the ripieno (all together). in other words, all nine musicians share in the solo parts equally. a harpsichord and a violone (a large viola da gamba), or double bass, fill out the continuo. in the last movement the violone joins the three cellos in unison throughout. the most unusual aspect of this concerto is the absence of a slow central movement. in its place Bach wrote a one-bar time signature plus two eighth-note chords.

Some scholars speculate that the composer intended for one or two of the soloists to improvise the slow movement, ending with a cadence on the chords he specifically notated. the dedication score in the Deutsche Staatsbibliothek in Berlin gives no clue as to Bach’s intentions. the outer movements are essentially the spinning out and free variations on a single theme. the first movement roughly follows an a-B-a form with an excursion into the minor mode but no really new music for the “B” section. the third movement is literally a grand chase, full of Bach’s characteristic canons, involving all the instruments. it certainly puts the lie to the stereotype that canons are stuffy. igor stravinsky (1882 –1971) Violin concerto in D major late in 1930, willy Strecker, head of the prestigious german publishing house, Schott & Sons and igor Stravinsky’s new publisher, suggested that he write a violin concerto for Samuel Dushkin (1891–1976). the whole enterprise was to be financed by Dushkin’s patron, Blair Fairchild, himself a composer and pianist from a well-to-do family.

Stravinsky, suspicious of virtuosi and disliking empty showmanship, demurred, especially when Strecker suggested that Dushkin help him with the technical aspects of violin playing. But eventually he relented

v

The AusTin symphony

and agreed to meet Dushkin, with the result that the two became close friends. the concerto became a cooperative enterprise, composer and violinist conferring closely on the fine points of technique and expression. as Dushkin wrote: “my function was to advise Stravinsky how his ideas could best be adapted to the exigencies of the violin as a concert display instrument.”

Stravinsky finished the concerto in September 1931, and Dushkin premiered it a month later with the composer conducting the rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (Berlin radio Symphony orchestra). at the head of the score, Stravinsky thanked the violinist profusely for his help.

During the same period, he composed several more pieces for Dushkin, including an arrangement for violin and piano of selections from the ballet, Pulcinella, entitled Suite italienne, and the Duo for Violin and piano. then, the two went on tour throughout germany where they received enthusiastic reviews—ironically, on the eve of hitler’s election as chancellor and the subsequent demise of musical modernism in germany until after the war.

Stravinsky always insisted that, “rhythm and motion, not the elements of feeling, are the foundations of musical art.” this philosophy is readily apparent in the Violin concerto. the composer maintained that the concerto was composed in homage to J.S. Bach, especially to the concerto for two Violins in D minor, BwV 1043.

Stravinsky’s debt to Bach is reflected in the last movement, where he inserted a duet between the soloist and a violinist from the orchestra. opposed to violin virtuosity for its own sake, Stravinsky wrote no cadenza. the Violin belongs Download the concerto app: Connect: to Stravinsky’s neoclassical period, which followed upon world war i and the long, fruitful early “russian” period of the Download the app: Connect: great ballets, Firebird, The Rite of Spring, and Petrushka.

angular melodic and rhythmic signature. the concerto opens with a widely spaced triple-stopped chord that Dushkin initially told the composer was “impossible to play.” Stravinsky called it “a passport to the music” and obviously prevailed; it is repeated throughout the work, most notably at the beginning of each subsequent movement. the first movement, toccata, is in classic sonata-allegro form with a wide array of diverse themes and textures.

Stravinsky gives the two middle movements the title “aria,” recalling their Baroque antecedents in the da capo (a-B-a) arias that were de rigueur in both opera and Bach’s cantatas. in the first aria, a reference to Bach is apparent in its canonic counterpoint; in the second one, a poignant adagio theme and sinuous contrapuntal lines in the violin, take a backward look at Bach’s most emotive writing. likewise, the Finale, Capriccio, contains the spiky Stravinsky lines along with contrapuntal duets between the violin and orchestral soloists. the frequent changes in texture, melodic line and meter illustrate the aptness of the title of the movement.

Alan hovhaness (1911–2000) Celestial Fantasy, op. 44 a prolific american composer of armenian descent, alan hovhaness chakmakjian studied music at the new england conservatory. he is best known for his orchestral composition, And God Created Great Whales, op. 229, no. 1, in which a tape recording of the voices of humpback whales is used as a solo with the orchestra. the popularity of the work did much to curtail the hunting of these giant mammals. in most of his works, hovhaness made extensive use of indigenous armenian melodies and modal scales. his style is described as “transcendental” or “religious.” after his explorations of

armenian folk music in the 1940s and ’50s, he studied indian ragas and Japanese and korean music, incorporating these styles into his compositions as well. he viewed his own work in a spiritual light, writing: “armenian music belongs to the ancient world when ragas, melody lines, and talas, rhythmic lines, were main pillars of universal music. when music was melody and rhythm, when each melodic combination was a gift of the gods, each rhythmic combination was a mantram to unlock a key of power in nature, then music was one of the mysteries of the elements, of the planetary systems, of the worlds, visible and invisible.” hovhaness composed the Celestial Fantasy for string orchestra in 1944, based on earlier work from 1935. he dedicated it to the poet and Saint nerses Shnorhali, who led the armenian church early in the 12th century. the work resembles a Bach prelude and fugue, beginning with a free-flowing melody in the low strings which leads into a four-voice fugue, related modally to the initial melody.

Franz Joseph haydn (1732–1809) Symphony no. 94 in g major, Surprise on new year’s Day 1791, Franz Joseph haydn made the first of two extended trips to london at the invitation of the impresario Johann peter Salomon and actually considered settling there for good. Salomon, violinist, conductor and concertmaster of his own orchestra, had been writing to haydn for some time in an attempt to get him to come to london, but to no avail. when haydn’s lifelong patron, nikolaus i, prince esterházy, died and the family disbanded the orchestra, the composer was suddenly a free agent. capitalizing on the situation, Salomon personally went to Vienna to “fetch” haydn with a princely lure of £1200, and haydn bit. he composed numerous

28792 PAPI BH 15 1_4_2018 noteS on the program works for performance at Salomon’s concerts, primarily his last 12 symphonies (nos. 93–104, known today as the “london” or “Salomon” symphonies). these concerts, like most concerts of the time, went on for hours and were a mixed bag, including vocal, chamber, and orchestral pieces. For the decade of the 1790s, their star attraction was haydn’s music. the Salomon concerts were so successful that a rival organization, the “professional concerts,” tried to seduce haydn away from Salomon with even higher fees. always a man of principle, haydn refused, and the professional concerts hired his former student ignace Joseph pleyel to provide a new work for every concert, now openly suggesting that haydn was past his prime anyway. But by 1793, the professional concerts had gone under, and the old man reigned supreme. haydn arrived for his first season in london armed with a number of new works, but his huge popularity demanded more and more from his pen. in the summer of 1791 he retreated to the countryside to compose; the Symphony no. 94 was actually the fourth of the 12 to be finished. premiered in march, 1792, it was a tremendous success, with one newspaper stating: “the second movement was the happiest of this great master’s conceptions. the surprise might not be unaptly [sic] likened to the situation of a beautiful shepherdess who, lulled to slumber by the murmur of a distant waterfall, starts alarmed by the unexpected firing of a fowling-piece. the flute obbligato was delicious.” the reference was to the second movement, andante, a theme and four variations in which an unexpected fortissimo accompanied by the timpani interrupts the gentle reverie. the rumor, now legend, that haydn had written in the famous chord to “wake up” the english audience—or one member thereof—who fell asleep at his concert became immediately so widespread that haydn himself had to refute it. instead, he claimed that he had wanted to make a

v

The AusTin symphony

grand statement to ensure that his concerts would outshine those of his student pleyel, whose rival series had opened the previous week. it is clear, however, that haydn was speaking tongue-in-cheek, as he maintained a close friendship with pleyel while the two were ostensibly slugging it out. the Symphony opens with haydn’s customary slow introduction. the movement is written in sonata form but with only one true theme. although in most hands, the result would have been monotonous indeed, haydn spins out every fragment of the melody, using surprising key changes and transitions. the andante theme and variations packs more than one surprise. while the first variation goes without a hitch, the second goes off on a musical tangent, beginning in the minor and suddenly changing key. For 21st-century listeners, this kind of diversion seems trivial, but if we listen with the ears of haydn’s audience, we understand their delight at having their expectations thwarted. haydn’s minuets were always the least bit clunky—more like the peasant ländler than a court dance. with the help of the timpani, no. 94’s is particularly so. the Finale is another sonata form, a flexible structure that haydn was partial to. the surprise in this movement is the long coda, which, with its unusual key changes, is more like another development section. program notes by: Joseph & elizabeth kahn wordpros@mindspring.com www.wordprosmusic.com

A World Apart, A Moment Together One World & TRIAD funds of the San Antonio Area Foundation Connecting Central Texas Military Families One World’s innovative performing arts summer camp program provided scholarships through TRIAD funds of the San Antonio Area Foundation to give kids the opportunity to be a part of the musical production of “Wizard of Oz.” When the campers took the stage every parent, no matter where they were located, including Iraq was able to see their child perform.

Using amazing video technology generously provided by a partnership with LifeSize Communications, seven military bases were connected to One World Theatre, so that parent and child could see, talk and interact with each other as if they were in the same room. After the performance, each child and their family was given the opportunity to talk privately with their loved one, keeping the bond of family alive across the miles.
