MAHLER: reimagined MASTERWORKS 1 BROADCAST ON

SEPTEMBER 26 and 27, 2020

HELP US KEEP

THE MUSIC PLAYING.

At this challenging time people are turning to art -for inspiration, relief, and hope.

The Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, an anchor in the cultural landscape of the metro area for over 90 years, needs your support now more than ever. Your gift helps us share extraordinary symphonic and chamber music and one-of-a-kind music education experiences with our community today, and for many years to come.

TO MAKE A GIFT:

text FMSO to 44321 or visit our website at

www.fmsymphony.org THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Joel Revzen served as Music Director of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra from 1991-2002. The Board chose Maestro Revzen for the post even though he did not live in the area—a first for the FMSO. It was not long before Maestro Revzen proved he was the right person for the job. Attendance at FMSO concerts increased significantly, and educational outreach grew tremendously. Maestro Revzen died in New York City of COVID-19. The FMSO remembers Joel Revzen with everlasting gratitude and admiration.

Perspectives from the Chairman of the Board of Trustees Welcome to the 2020-2021 season of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra! It is our 89th year serving this community, and it will be a year like no other. During the first half of 2020, the FMSO and the rest of the world have had to face the far-reaching effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I would like to thank the entire FMSO staff, orchestra, and Board of Trustees for being proactive in their efforts to protect the health and wellbeing of each other by practicing social distancing, transitioning to online meetings, and making necessary accommodations for the musicians on and off the stage.

Our mission is “Enriching our community through the power of live music that educates, entertains, and inspires.” This year, we will look to achieve the “power of live music” portion leveraging the “power of technology” in ways we have not done so before, creating what we hope will be a unique concert experience for all of you. I am excited to get the most of out of our Reimagined season, and we hope you will enjoy the new format. As always, we welcome and encourage your feedback as we learn and navigate these uncharted waters.

I would also like to thank all of you, our patrons, volunteers, donors, and sponsors, who help keep arts organizations like the FMSO alive in this community, especially during these challenging times. In my tenure on the Board I have heard many, many stories of how the FMSO and music in general have impacted or even changed people’s lives. Music truly is inspiring, and it is a gift we hope to continue offering to this community for many years to come.

Please enjoy this year’s Masterworks season, and stay safe, stay healthy!

Perspectives from the Music Director The last time “life as we know it” was so abruptly altered due to a pandemic was over a hundred years ago; so, for most of us this is pretty new territory to navigate.

In the performing arts—where physical communication in real time is part of our raison d’etre—have we been dealt a death blow? I maintain, emphatically, no.

For the foreseeable future during this season we will use the parameters of physical distancing, coupled with today’s technology, to provide you with some marvelous music, including beautiful and powerful distillations of great orchestral masterpieces, as well as presenting works that both highlight the various sections of our orchestra or simply use a smaller one. There are many, many works—from the classics to the present—that fall into these categories.

On our first Masterworks concert, we will present Mahler’s 4th Symphony in a stunning arrangement for 15 players by Klaus Simon. This Mahler symphony is already a gem of clarity in its sound-world and emotional communication, traits to which Mr. Simon attends beautifully and sensitively. The symphony ends with, in Mahler’s words, a song of “life in heaven,” and Adrienne Danrich, the incandescent soprano who sang with us some years back in Mahler’s mighty 2nd symphony, returns to take us to that place.

Along with slightly larger ensembles playing some of the great classics (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven), the remaining programs will include some spectacular works for more unusual instrumental combinations, as well as music by under-represented composers. This is not just a nod to diversity but high time to embrace it, as the quality of the music itself will reveal.

This season we have an authentic opportunity to explore the myriad of works that lie outside those suited to the “standard-sized symphony orchestra.” Despite the relatively small number of FSO musicians on the stage at any one time, I am confident that you will not feel cheated.

In many ways, these are exciting times!

Perspectives from the Executive Director The FMSO is proud to dedicate this concert to the memory of Joel Revzen, who served as Music Director of the ensemble for 12 years, from 1990-2002. Mr. Revzen died at the age of 74 in May of this year; the cause was COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

Joel Revzen was a risky choice for the FMSO because he was the first Music Director who did not live in the area. Hiring him was a bold step by the Board of Trustees, but it brought with it an awareness that this was an ensemble that had a bigger geographical impact than just in this small corner of the world. Under Maestro Revzen’s artistic leadership, attendance at concerts grew; what we know today as the Masterworks series went from one performance per cycle to two performances. In addition, the FMSO added educational outreach events, including the Young People’s Concerts and what was then called a “Pizza and Pop Series.”

Joel Revzen’s impact is still felt today.

The global pandemic has taken a huge toll on the performing arts. Musicians want very much to perform for live audiences, and patrons enjoy hearing live music. Because of the pandemic, of course, live concerts simply are not possible these days. And yet, the importance of music in our lives has never felt more present. The arts are inextricably intertwined with everything we do in life, and I would say that music is at the top of the list of the arts we miss the most. People sang when the Berlin Wall fell. What is the most famous piece of art in the world? Is it Michelangelo’s David? The Mona Lisa? Or maybe the opening refrain of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony? I know what my answer is.

Thank you for recognizing the importance of music in your own life, and in the fabric of the F-M area. We are proud to make this area a better place to live and work, and we are delighted to be making music again. At the beginning of this year, no one thought of a reimagined Masterworks concert, with an orchestra of only 15, performed before no audience, with the “concert” being sent to your computer, tablet, or smart TV, but the creativity of Music Director Christopher Zimmerman and the commitment of our talented musicians have overcome the obstacles thrown at us.

Thank you for your support of the FMSO, and for your concern both for your own safety and for the safety of our musicians. We hope you enjoy this first reimagined Masterworks concert of the 2020-21 season. We have been making music in this area for 89 years, and we plan on being here for a long time to come. I think Joel Revzen would be proud of us, and I’m grateful we can build on his legacy.

With warmest wishes,

Paul R. Hegland Executive Director

CHRISTOPHER ZIMMERMAN M USIC D IRECTOR Christopher Zimmerman has served as Music Director of the Fargo Moorhead Symphony Orchestra since 2013.

Reviewer John Lamb wrote, “Christopher Zimmerman gave the… orchestra a workout Saturday night and gave the audience something to stand and cheer about.” He also serves as Music Director of the Fairfax (Virginia) Symphony Orchestra.

Mr. Zimmerman was recognized as the winner of the American Conducting Prize in 2011, a new award given for nationwide performances by orchestral conductors, choral conductors, and a host of other categories.

His debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was followed by engagements with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. He has since conducted orchestras all over the world, including the Prague Symphony, the Slovak Philharmonic, the Seoul Philharmonic, the Mexico City Philharmonic, the Caracas Philharmonic, National Orchestra of Rio de Janeiro, and the Shenzhen Symphony, to name a few. In opera he has worked as the assistant conductor for Carmen at the Nimes Festival and as assistant conductor for Salome at the Mexico City Opera where he was re-invited to conduct a full production of Gianni Schicchi the following season. His U.S. operatic debut conducting Carlisle Floyd’s Susannah won the National Opera Association’s First Prize as did Bright Sheng’s Song of Majnun, which he also led.

Zimmerman’s career has embraced teaching and working with student orchestras and conductors. In 1993 he joined the conducting faculty at the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati where he was Music Director of their concert orchestra, and in 1999 he was appointed as Fuller Professor of Orchestral Studies at the Hartt School as well as Music Director of the Hartt Symphony. A much soughtafter clinician and pedagogue, Mr. Zimmerman continues to teach at workshops and festivals around the world.

Mr. Zimmerman graduated from Yale with a B.A. in Music, and received his Master’s from the University of Michigan.

He also studied with Seiji Ozawa and Gunther Schuller at Tanglewood, and at the Pierre Monteux School in Maine with Charles Bruck. Zimmerman served as an apprentice to Andrew Davis and the Toronto Symphony and in Prague, as assistant conductor to Vaclav Neumann and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra.

ADRIENNE DANRICH S OPRANO The voice of Midwest Emmy Award®-winning Soprano Adrienne Danrich has been described as “fresh liquid-silver” and “meltingly tender in its high, floating vulnerability” by Opera News. La Cronaca del Wanderer describes her as “…soprano lirico spinto autentico,” “an authentic lyric spinto soprano.”

Ms. Danrich has sung with the San Francisco Opera, Kentucky Opera, Sarasota Opera, Opera Pacific, Dayton Opera, and Fort Worth Opera. On the concert stage, she has sung with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Cape Cod Symphony, Bryan Symphony and the St. George’s Choral Society, the Dayton Philharmonic, the Northern Kentucky Symphony, the Fort Wayne Philharmonic, The Orchestra of St. Luke’s Outreach, the Louisville Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony, the Laredo Philharmonic, Hartt Symphony and the Hamilton Fairfield Symphony.

In 2006, Ms. Danrich received a commission from Cincinnati Opera to write and perform a one-woman show: This Little Light of Mine: The Stories of Marian Anderson and Leontyne Price. This production, which is a self-described live documentary, has been presented over fifty times in various venues nationwide. PBS Milwaukee (MPTV) filmed and televised This Little Light of Mine in February 2011 and Ms. Danrich won a Midwest Emmy® for Outstanding Achievement for On Camera Talent as a Performer and Narrator.

Ms. Danrich received her second commission from Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Lively Arts Concert Series in 2010. The new show, An Evening in the Harlem Renaissance, had its debut in February 2011 and was extraordinarily well received.

Ms. Danrich has a broad vocal range, garnering success in many genres including opera, jazz, blues, R&B, folk, and classical.

Ms. Danrich is a native of St. Louis, MO and is an alumna of Eastman School of Music and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. This marks Ms. Danrich’s third appearance with the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra.

Program Notes Langston Hughes and Drew Hemenger: "Genius Child" Adrienne Danrich and Drew Hemenger: "Breathe” Adrienne Danrich and Dave Hall: "I Am Not Alone"

Langston Hughes, an American poet and central figure in the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, is known for portraying the injustices of racial issues in America. Using powerful emotions and dreams, he told the stories of his people in ways that not only reflected their culture but that could be understood on many levels, irrespective of the age or background of the reader. Text from his poem “Genius Child” serves as the lyrics to this meditative yet powerful spiritual for solo voice and piano.

Drew Hemenger, the composer of both “Genius Child” and “Breathe,” is based in New York but originally from Ohio. He earned a bachelor’s degree in trumpet performance from Ohio Wesleyan University, followed by studies at Juilliard and master’s and doctoral degrees from the Manhattan School of Music. “Breathe” was premiered in New York on September 12.

According to Ms. Danrich, the text and melody came to her in the middle of the night “as if it were coming out of my soul.” The song is dedicated to all people of color who have lost their lives because of systemic racism.

“I Am Not Alone” is from the modern song cycle Love and Trouble by Adrienne Danrich and composer Dave Hall. The cycle conveys the trials and triumphs of life and love through the eyes of five women: the lover of people, the lover of self, the lover of small things, the lover of justice, and the lover of God. “I Am Not Alone” is told through Lydia, the lover of God. Ms. Danrich describes Lydia as a traveling deacon who teaches that we must be quick to forgive, always be grateful, and do our part to bring light into the world…no matter the circumstances.

Gustav Mahler: Symphony no. 4 Mahler's Fourth Symphony reflects the completion of the thoughts, images, and music presented in his first three symphonies. All four were inspired by the songs and poems of Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Magic Horn), an early 19th century collection which Mahler had set to music between 1887 and 1893. Though the symphonies are different in character, they all draw on the unifying poetry of the Germanic Romantic folk traditions.

Mahler reduced the scoring for this symphony, using horns, trumpets, woodwinds, and fewer strings, although he did opt for extensive percussion. Further, this performance uses a modern (2007) edition by Klaus Simon, further reducing the orchestra to chamber proportions that include only single woodwinds (some of which double), piano, harmonium, strings, percussion, and a soprano soloist for the fourth movement.

The symphony did not receive enthusiastic reviews from audiences when it was first performed in Munich on November 25, 1901, conducted by Mahler himself. Its light-hearted and childlike melodies were not expected from the composer whose previous symphonies had been dark and quite heavy in character. Some have offered that this work can even be seen as chaotic, with melodies often juxtaposed and interrupted. Others suggest that the work perfectly presents a sophisticated yet simple and childlike innocence.

The first movement is in classic sonata-allegro form, marked "moderately, not rushed." The violins and cello trade simple melodies, and the sleighbell characterization which opens the piece is heard throughout. The melodies are simple and folk-like. The second movement is a scherzo with trio, marked "leisurely moving without haste." The third movement is a theme and variations marked "peacefully, somewhat slowly." The fourth and final movement is a setting of one of the Wunderhorn songs, “Das himmlische Leben.” It is strophic and features a soprano soloist, interpreting a child’s vision of Heaven—predictably simpler and more perfect than conditions on Earth.

Genius Child Langston Hughes

Breathe Adrienne Danrich and Drew Hemenger

This is a song for the genius child.

Sing it softly, for the song is wild.

Sing it softly as ever you can Lest the song get out of hand.

I can’t breathe I’m being smothered by your hatred.

I can’t breathe, deprived of oxygen by your fear.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Why do you try to justify Step up and look me in the eyes and tell me what is in your heart.

Can you love an eagle, Tame or wild?

Can you love an eagle, Wild or tame?

Can you love a monster Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child.

Kill him - and let his soul run wild.

Because time and time and time again Oh time and time and time again you’ve shown me I don’t matter. ah But can’t you see I can’t breathe?

You’re killing me.

I can’t breathe.

I’m being smothered.

Why do you hate me so?

Don’t understand, I just want to know How I am so reviled by you How I, how I am so reviled by you.

Was it Cause someone told you to?

Try empathy, . . . try compassion, . . .

Try loving your neighbor.

And please take your foot off the necks of my brothers and sisters.

Remember, the greatest of these is LOVE. I can’t breathe I’m being smothered by your hatred.

I can’t breathe, deprived of oxygen by your fear.

I’m Not Alone Adrienne Danrich and Dave Hall Oh, how I want to give up!

I want to burrow into my cave of heartache and crumble from the pain.

I weep and cry out!

But in my darkest hour when the storms rage with the ferocity of demons I search within and find my power!

When the wreckage of the past has all but crushed my dreams I look within myself and silence the screams!

For I know, yes, I know I am not alone.

I know, yes, I know, I AM truly blessed.

The sorrows of the world are all put to rest.

Through forgiveness and grace, in gratitude I tread.

I run toward the light of happiness instead.

I keep my shoulder to the wheel of life . . .

I am not alone!

It can be hard this life of mine, but I know I’m not the only one.

But, each day I strive to be a better me And I allow myself to shine!

To bring joy and hope to this world in which we live.

I run to that beacon of happiness For I know that I have plenty of love to give.

For I know, yes I know I am not alone.

For I know, yes I know, I AM truly blessed.

The sorrows of the world are all put to rest.

Through forgiveness and grace, in gratitude I tread.

I run toward the light of happiness instead.

I keep my shoulder to the wheel of life . . .

I am not alone!

I keep my shoulder to the wheel of life . . .

I am not alone!

THE FARGO-MOORHEAD SYMPHONY ENDOWMENT FUND The Cadenza Fund was established in 1981 to provide for the future stability of the Symphony. Since that time, many people have contributed generously to the fund.

Annual proceeds from this fund support the general operations of the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra. All three funds are ND Certified Endowment Funds, which qualify donors for a state income tax credit under current state law.

The Cadenza Fund

This is the major fund within the Endowment, which supports the general operations of the symphony.

Our Endowment Policy states that 3.55 of a 3-year rolling value of the fund will be the automatic annual draw, with an additional 1.5% available through majority vote of the Board. No further draws on the principal or earnings may be made.
