Maestro Bay has appeared with 80 different orchestras including the National, Chicago, St. Louis, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, San Antonio, Syracuse, Tucson, Virginia, West Virginia, Colorado, Hawaii, Jacksonville, Richmond, Sarasota, Alabama, Arkansas, Canton, Eugene, Fort Worth, Springfield, Chattanooga, Bochum (Germany), Carinthian (Austria), Lithuanian National, and Ecuador National Symphonies, the Minnesota and Algarve (Portugal) Orchestras, the Louisiana, Buffalo, Rhode Island, Tulsa, Fort Wayne, Reno , Las Vegas, and Boca del Rio (Mexico) Philharmonics, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Eastman (Argento’s Postcard from Morocco) and Aspen (Moore’s The Ballad of Baby Doe) Opera Theaters, and the Theater Chamber Players of the Kennedy Center.

Bay and the Austin Symphony Orchestra with pianist Anton Nel have released a critically acclaimed CD of Edward Burlingame Hill’s music on the Bridge label.

Voices, featuring the percussion ensemble NEXUS and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, is available on the Nexus label.

In July 2012 he appeared in Solo Symphony, a choreographic work created for him by Allison Orr of Forklift Danceworks. Peter can be seen conducting the Barton Strings in the “Christopher Cross and Friends” PBS broadcast and DVD recorded at the Moody Theater. He conducted the Hanan Townshend score for the 2016 film “The Vessel.”

The Austin Symphony

v Notes

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)/ Anton Bruckner (1824–1896)

Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13, Pathétique, First movement, orchestrated by Anton Bruckner Published in 1799, but probably written the year before, the Piano Sonata Op. 13 rapidly became one of Beethoven’s most popular compositions. Its somber mood and the title “Grande Sonate pathétique” gave it an air of mystery that had an immediate appeal for the public. The title appears in the original edition and was probably inserted by the publisher with Beethoven’s approval. Its early popularity is indicated by the many ensemble arrangements that appeared, including versions for wind nonet, string quartet, string quintet and piano four-hands.

The Sonata had its detractors as well as fans. Its extreme contrasts and violent energy puzzled and shocked Vienna’s more conservative listeners. The young pianist and composer Ignaz Moscheles, who later became Beethoven’s student, was warned by his teacher in 1804 to stay away from such eccentric music, as if it were a disreputable acquaintance.

A child of brilliant precocity, Anton Bruckner was born in the small Austrian town of Ansfelden, the eldest of 11 children.

After the death of his father in 1836, he was sent to the abbey school of St. Florian, where he received excellent musical training and continued as a teacher until he was 32.

Bruckner was the true image of the country bumpkin, awkward, graceless, with a thick small-town Bavarian accent. A provincial organist by profession, he felt most secure sitting at an organ bench. His social gracelessness was legendary and his clothes a source of jokes and cartoons;

on the program it was said that his trousers looked as if built by a carpenter. He was given to bouts of severe depression and was extremely deferential to intellectual and professional authority. His naïve adoration of Richard Wagner—he called him “Meister aller Meister” (master of all masters) and fell to his knees before him at their first meeting— made him the pawn of a musical maelstrom: he became entangled in the great battle between Wagner and his followers, on the one hand, and Brahms and Vienna’s musical establishment—spearheaded by the influential music critic Eduard Hanslick—on the other.

Originally trained as an organist, Bruckner continually strove to improve his compositional skills. In 1862, when he was 38, he was still taking orchestration lessons, and was assigned by his teacher, Otto Kitzler, to orchestrate the first movement of Beethoven’s sonata. The orchestration, together with many other exercises, survived in an exercise book known as the Kitzler Study Book. Being in private hands, it was not published until bought in 2014 by the Austrian National Library. One suspects that Bruckner would not have been happy to see his early effort possibly exposed to the kind of ad hominem ridicule his mature works received.

Like all orchestration students, Bruckner must have been encouraged to make each section of the orchestra control a particular function within the whole. A lifelong lover of brass, he uses this section plus timpani for Beethoven’s menacing opening chords. The strings offer up the sighs, and woodwind solos imitate the contrasting second theme and softer figurative passages.

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872–1958) Flos Campi, Suite for Viola, Chorus and Orchestra

In his long and productive life—his last symphony was premiered just four months before his death at age 85—Ralph

Notes on the program Vaughan Williams practiced what he preached. He wrote music for every kind of combination and level of sophistication in the belief, considered radical in his young days, that music was the birthright of every individual.

Flos Campi (Flower of the Field) is one of Vaughan Williams’s most unusual and exotic works. Composed in 1925, it surprised the public and his colleagues for its sensuality and eroticism. Inspired by the biblical love poems, the Songs of Solomon, each of the six sections, which flow into the next without pause, is prefaced in the score by a quotation from the book. Originally, the composer gave the quotations only in Latin, but later added the English translation. The chorus sings wordlessly, much in the style of Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloë, while the viola is the voice of the lover. Vaughan Williams achieves the haunting eroticism especially through elegantly juxtaposed instrumental sonorities repeating and elaborating on simple melodies.

“As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters… Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples; for I am sick of love.” The movement begins with the voice of the languishing lover, a bitonal duet of oboe and viola. Their melody, the “Flos Campi” motive, recurs throughout the work. They are answered with an orientalsounding melody, before the viola returns with the opening theme.

“For, lo the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.”

The opening is a song of thanks to beautiful nature by the orchestra and wordless chorus. The viola, followed by the oboe, elaborates and embellishes the song.

“I sought him whom my soul loveth, but I found him not… I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him that I am sick of love… Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.” A plaintive reprise of the “Flos Campi” motive

v The

Austin Symphony

by the viola alone speaks of the desolation of loss. In response, the chorus and orchestra answer, growing increasingly agitated, but the sad solo viola prevails and is not to be consoled.

“Behold his bed (a palanquin) which is Solomon’s, three score valiant men are about it… they all hold swords, being expert in war.” This is a march in faux oriental style, including the jangling sonorities of a Turkish Janissary band.

“Return, return, O Shulamit, Return, return that we may look upon thee… How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O Prince’s daughter.” The viola plays a joyous and passionate song to the beauty of Shulamit, accompanied by drums, ending with a bassoon solo that foreshadows the viola song of the final section.

“Set me as a seal upon thine heart.” This movement opens with a canon for the viola with the oboe and finally the orchestra. A second canon includes the chorus and glockenspiel. The piece concludes in a tranquil mood, with the oboe and viola closing with the “Flos Campi” motive and the viola’s repeat of the canon melody.

v Notes

composed it during the summers of 1895 and 1896, writing the huge opening movement last. He initially produced a literary outline for the symphony, but as it gradually grew to a size that astonished even the composer himself, he was forced to continually revise the outline in an attempt to keep the work under control. The Symphony was introduced to the public piecemeal, the premiere in its entirety coming only in 1902 during a music festival, with the composer conducting.

Mahler originally gave titles to the individual movements, but he worried that his words would be misinterpreted, finally omitting them for the 1902 premiere.

Nevertheless they still serve as useful markers, giving a clearer picture of the composer’s thoughts and inspiration.

The second movement, originally entitled “What the Wild Flowers Tell Me,” is a delicate minuet, whose carefree mood is a respite from the earlier turmoil. The scoring is light and has the effect of pastoral chamber music, although two short episodes in the middle have a more ominous tone. The movement ends with an unearthly chord of high string harmonics.

In 1941, Mahler’s symphonies were essentially unknown to the general public, and Britten’s publisher suggested he arrange this movement for more conventional orchestral forces to facilitate its performance. Britten had a special affinity to Mahler and made an arrangement that preserved Mahler’s spirit with a chamber orchestra.

on the program Anton Bruckner Te Deum A devoutly religious man, Bruckner composed throughout his life many religious choral works, including numerous Masses, a Magnificat, two settings of the Requiem, and the Te Deum, composed between 1881 and 1884. He had suffered both physical and mental illness and dedicated the Te Deum “To God in gratitude for having safely brought me through so much anguish in Vienna.” By then, with the aid of conductor Hans Richter, his star had risen in the Austrian capital, and the publisher Theodore Rättig paid Bruckner 50 gulden for the Te Deum, the only money he ever earned as a composer.

Bruckner taught music and played the organ for many years at the abbey of St. Florian, the largest Baroque monastery in Austria. He was, of course, intimately familiar with the medieval chant that was still an integral part of the Catholic liturgy. The Te Deum is a hymn dating from the fourth century and is sung daily during most seasons of the year as part of the Divine Office. The opening of his setting of the Te Deum is loosely based on the chant melody, a technique that in the Renaissance was called “paraphrase.”

Bruckner’s version is in five sections, the first of which, “Te Deum laudamus,” contains the bulk of the text.

The Annual Fund

v The

Austin Symphony

T

he Austin Symphony Orchestra Society invites you to join our family of supporters. The following categories of gifts to the ASO Annual Fund Drive reflect a cross section of our community.

These donors are a special group of music lovers who know that the ASO is to be commended for its prudent financial management as well as for the outstanding performances offered but, also, that ticket sales cover less than one-half the cost of these performances. A gift to our Development Fund generously supports the gift of music to others. Join this special family now: Call (512) 476-6064.

Business Partners (as of September 18, 2017) Very special thanks to the Women’s Symphony League for its outstanding support.
