Austin Symphony Orchestra NOT E S ON THE PROGRAM Giovanni Gabrieli (1558–1613) Sonata pian’ e forte (approx. 5 minutes)

Although not a household name among classical music lovers whose experience covers the time period from 1700 to the present, Giovanni Gabrieli was an important contributor to the classical tradition.

He was a pioneer in the development of instrumental music and the first composer to use the term “sonata,”— although his works do not fall within the mainstream development of the sonata form.

Born in Venice, Giovanni was the disciple of his uncle, Andrea Gabrieli, one of the most important Venetian composers of his time and heir to a unique tradition in which a city and its musicians were inextricably linked.

Music was needed for every aspect of the city’s resplendent life, especially for religious services and festivals at Venice’s principal cathedral of San Marco.

Andrea Gabrieli, and later his nephew, had done a professional stint at the Bavarian court in Munich, one of the most lavish and sophisticated in Europe. Upon his return to Venice, Andrea had the chapel of San Marco enlarged so that it could accommodate separate choirs of singers and instrumentalists. From this new internal architecture arose a musical style involving two to four separate choirs, cori spezzati (literally,”broken choirs”), singing antiphonally from different locations in the cathedral.

Giovanni Gabrieli was a proficient composer in all of the musical styles of his time, composing madrigals, motets, keyboard music and even music to accompany pastoral plays.

He not only expanded the style of the cori spezzati, but also developed its

instrumental counterpart involving two or more choirs of instruments. He was one of the first composers to specify instrumentation for a given piece and, more importantly, was one of the first composers to develop a distinct style for instrumental ensembles as distinguished from dance and military music.

The Sonata pian’e forte was one of the first pieces to designate the dynamics, a feature that was particularly striking in San Marco. Gabrieli’s goal in this piece was to work with balancing phrases, one half (ending in the dominant) loud, the other (cadencing in the tonic) soft.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 19 (approx. 28 minutes) When Ludwig van Beethoven left Bonn to move permanently to Vienna in November 1792, he brought with him a large quantity of his music, some finished, mostly not. His initial and rapid success in Vienna was as a pianist, especially as an improviser, rather than as a composer. His performances took place in large private homes, since regular year-round concerts in public venues, such as those popular in London and Paris, were unknown in Vienna at the time. Only the occasional charity concert or subscription concert (Akademie) by a virtuoso or composer were open to the general public.

Austin Symphony Orchestra N OTE S O N T H E P RO G R A M publication because in the days before copyright laws he wanted to retain it for his personal use as a performer for numerous concerts in Vienna and Prague. As a result, despite its listing as Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto, it was certainly composed, although not published, before the Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 15.

In the years 1794 to 1809, the piano underwent a rapid development, not in small part as a result of Beethoven’s demands and specifications. While the Concerto was written for a piano of five octaves, like Mozart’s, by the time Beethoven wrote a cadenza in 1809 for his pupil and friend, the Archduke Rudolph, it was for a piano of five‑and‑a-half octaves with commensurate increase in power and sound. Consequently, a piano corresponding to Beethoven’s instrument for which the Concerto was written would not be able to accommodate the 1809 cadenzas he later added to it.

The Concerto itself still reflects the styles of Mozart and Haydn—Beethoven was still a young man learning his trade. Following a practice started in some of Mozart’s piano concerti, the orchestra begins in the first movement with a conventional exposition of the two main themes, but then the piano enters with a new theme of its own and immediately proceeds to vary and develop the first orchestral theme until the orchestra returns in a duet with piano on the second theme. The development begins with the piano’s theme but veers off into an exploration of all of the preceding musical material.

The long cadenza is unusual as well, beginning with a fugal treatment of the main theme in inversion—in line with Beethoven’s habit at the time he composed it.

The second movement, which also owes a great deal to Mozart, is based on a single gentle theme consisting of

two distinct motives in its two parts.

Both soloist and orchestra spin out the melodies with embellishments in a style that foreshadows many of the composer’s masterful slow movements still to come. Carl Czerny, Beethoven’s pupil, compared it to a dramatic operatic scene. Czerny’s point is well taken since this movement particularly involves a musical dialogue between soloist and orchestra.

The high-spirited Rondo finale, a later addition to the Concerto, shows a more self-confident approach as well as the humor associated with the music of Franz Joseph Haydn, with whom Beethoven had studied in the 1790s. It contains an unusual rhythmic relationship between the first and second themes: the first theme is based on a trochaic poetic foot (or “short-long”) while the second is based on an iamb (“long-short”). This creates a bouncy uncertain rhythm, full of surprises, reflecting Beethoven’s fondness for offbeat accents.

Gustav Mahler (1860–1911) Symphony No. 4 in G Major (arranged for chamber orchestra by Erwin Stein; approx.

54 minutes) Gustav Mahler, one of the last great figures of the late Romantic movement, was at the same time one of the harbingers of 20th-century music. Growing up Jewish but a convert to Catholicism, he faced culturally-ingrained anti-Semitism, and his volatile, eccentric, hypochondriacal personality made him a social outcast.

Most of Mahler’s music expresses his battle against fate and the uncertainty of existence—which may explain how he could have written two of the Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) immediately following the birth of his second daughter. In spite

Austin Symphony Orchestra NOT E S ON THE PROGRAM of his difficult personality, his brilliant conducting outweighed his negative qualities and his star rose quickly in the opera world.

Born in a small town in what is now the Czech Republic, Mahler showed early musical gifts. He entered the Vienna Conservatory at age 15 and in the summer of 1880, at 20, he landed the first of a series of minor conducting jobs in a summer theater in Austria, an apprenticeship which was essential for advancement in the world of opera.

From 1891 to 1897, he was conductor at the Hamburg Opera and from 1894, of the subscription concerts there as well.

By 1897 he was named Kapellmeister and then Director of the most prestigious musical organization of the time, the Wiener Hofoper (Vienna Court Opera). He left the post in acrimony in 1907, the result of Vienna’s virulent anti-Semitism and Mahler’s abrasive personality.

Such a meteoric rise and hectic schedule left little time for composing, usually only during the summer recess.

Mahler nevertheless completed nine massive symphonies and numerous songs and song cycles. These works, especially the symphonies, were innovative and challenging; for nearly 50 years they were only occasionally performed. Only in the 1960s did they finally become standard fare in orchestra programs, championed by Leonard Bernstein. As late as 1972, however, Bernstein had to cajole and browbeat the Vienna Philharmonic to take Mahler’s music seriously.

Mahler’s huge orchestras posed a challenge even to large music organizations and have limited the performance of his music. In 1918 Arnold Schoenberg organized the Society for Private Musical Performances, a sort of “book club” to examine in depth the latest trends in Classical music. In order make the performances affordable, he made

numerous arrangements of orchestral works for small ensembles. One of his first was an arrangement of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde for chamber orchestra. The arrangement made the work more intimate and “user-friendly” but attenuated much of the music’s high drama.

In 1921, Austrian musician and writer Erwin Stein (1885–1958), a pupil of Arnold Schoenberg, emulated his teacher’s approach to similarly rescore the Symphony No. 4 for 15 musicians.

The arrangement was reintroduced by the Berlin Philharmonic in 2020 as a result of the pandemic.

The symphony is of mixed vintage.

Mahler composed the first three movements during the summers of 1899–1900, but he had already composed the fourth movement in 1882 as a song for soprano solo and piano, which he immediately orchestrated.

He used a fragment of the song in the Third Symphony and finally in its entirety in the Fourth. The soprano represents a child’s joy in the culinary delights and the ethereal music of Saint Cecilia (the patron saint of music) and her heavenly musicians.

The central idea of the Fourth Symphony expresses a child’s view of heaven, with its promise of eternal peace and happiness set against the terror of death. The first movement, with its opening sleigh bell motive, creates a warm, cheerful atmosphere.

By contrast, the second movement Scherzo sets our teeth on edge—as it was intended to do. It includes a solo violin tuned a whole tone sharper to be played, as Mahler put it, “Wie eine Fiedel,” (like a fiddle).

Austin Symphony Orchestra NOT E S ON THE PROGRAM

n

TEXT AN D TRAN SLAT I O N

set of free variations, is one of Mahler’s most beautiful, serene creations. Only towards the end, does its ethereal mood take on a slightly darker resonance in the concluding mysterious sound of pianissimo violin harmonics and flute.

The movement is marked Sehr behaglich (very cozy or comfortable), reflected in the musical themes as well as the text. In sharp contrast to the massive endings of most of Mahler’s other symphonies, this symphony ends with a slow, peaceful fade. While seemingly incongruous with the rest of the Symphony, the soprano’s song— which, like many of Mahler’s songs, comes from the anthology of folk poetry Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth’s Magic Horn). It elucidates some of the programmatic elements in the rest of the work, including the opening sleigh bell motive and the dance of death in the scherzo. One critic, in fact, stated the work should actually be played

backwards, like the Hebrew Scriptures.

Only the fact that the critic was himself Jewish saves this remark from being one of the innumerable anti-Semitic slights aimed at Mahler throughout his career in Germany and Vienna.

The Munich premiere took place in November 1901. Yet despite the relative accessibility of the music itself, it was a critical disaster. Both the critics and the public found the work confusing, neither a symphony nor program music—some even suggesting that it was a sick musical joke. Likewise, even admirers of the Symphony have seen it as a hybrid form combining program music using traditional symphonic sonata-allegro, scherzo and variation structures.

Fourth movement text and translation Das himmlische Leben Wir genießen die himmlischen Freuden, D’rum tun wir das irdische meiden.

Kein weltlich’ Getümmel Hört man nicht im Himmel!

Lebt Alles in sanftester Ruh’!

The Heavenly Life We relish the joys of heaven Therefore everything earthly, we shun.

No worldly commotion Is heard here in heaven!

All live in the sweetest repose!

Wir führen ein englisches Leben!

Sind dennoch ganz lustig daneben!

Wir tanzen und springen, Wir hüpfen und singen!

Sank Peter im Himmel sieht zu!

We live an angelic life!

And are merry as well!

We dance and we jump We hop and we sing!

In heaven, Saint Peter is watching!

Johannes das Lämmlein auslasset, Der Metzger Herodes drauf passet!

Wie führen ein geduldig’s, Unschuldig’s, geduldig’s, Ein liebliches Lämmlein zu Tod!

Saint John spares the little lamb.

The butcher Herod is watching!

As we lead a patient Innocent and patient And meek little lamb to its death!

Sankt Lukas den Ochsen tät schlachten Ohn’ einig’s Bedenken und Achten; Der Wein kost’t kein Heller Im himmlischen Keller; Die Englein, die backen das Brot.

Saint Luke the oxen did slaughter Without any scruple or heed; The wine costs no farthing In the heavenly cellar, And the cherubs, they bake all the bread.

Austin Symphony Orchestra TEXT A N D T R A N S L AT I O N Gut’ Kräuter von allerhand Arten, Die wachsen im himmlischen Garten!

Gut’ Spargel, Fisolen, Und was wir nun wollen, Ganze Schüsseln voll sind uns bereit!

Tasty greens of every kind Grow in the heavenly garden!

Fine asparagus and beans All we could wish for Great bowlfuls for us are ready!

Gut’ Äpfel, gut’ Birn’ und gut Trauben!

Die Gärtner, die alles erlauben!

Willst Rehbock, willst Hasen?

Auf offener Strassen Sie laufen herbei!

Good apples, good pears and good grapes, The gardeners will allow us all!

You want deer, you want hare?

In open roads They run hither!

Sollt’ ein Festtag etwa kommen, Alle Fische gleich mit Freuden angeschwommen!

Dort läuft schon Sankt Peter Mit Netz und mit Köder, Zum himmlischen Weiher hinein.

Sankt Martha die Köchin muß sein!

Kein Musik ist ja nicht auf Erden, Die unsrer verglichen kann werden.

Elftausend Jungfrauen Zu tanzen sich trauen!

Sankt Ursula selbst dazu lacht!

Cäcilia mit ihren Verwandten Sind treffliche Hofmusikanten!

Die englischen Stimmen Ermuntern die Sinnen!

Das Alles für Freuden erwacht.

Whenever a feast day arrives All fish swim up happily!

Saint Peter pursues them With net and with bait, Right into the heaven’s fishpond.

Saint Martha must be the cook!

There is surely no music on earth That compares with ours here.

Eleven thousand young maidens Dance with such confidence!

Saint Ursula laughs at the sight!

Cecilia with all of her kinfolk Are marvelous court musicians!

The angelic voices Enliven all the senses So that all will awaken with joy!

COVID-19 Emergency Fund

D ONat e NOW! INt e r NatIONaL Ly, W e are FaCI N G one of the greatest historical challenges with COViD-19. For the Austin Symphony Orchestra, this is no different, since opening our doors in 1911.

As individuals, we are all doing what we can to help by sheltering in place, ensuring that our loved ones and neighbors remain healthy. the Austin Symphony Orchestra survived the Spanish Flu of 1918. We survived two World Wars. yet, COViD-19 is the most significant threat we have seen due to its potential to impact our budget with the cancellation of concerts. Congress recognized the difficulties that nonprofits face and included changes to charitable contributions through the CArES Act. We will survive this adversity knowing that the greatest way to show love right now is to keep the hall empty.

Donate now to the ASO COViD-19 Emergency Fund and show your love for our talented musicians. Help ASO keep performing.

All of us here at ASO are thinking of you and yours,
