I’M BETTER WITH BLUE

When Randy Tabita wanted something more

Real Member Randy Tabita

than the regional health plan his work provided, he searched for one that offered affordability, a broader network, and a history of reliable care.

And found just what he needed at a nearby Highmark Direct Store. That’s why members like Randy, and generations of members across Pennsylvania, are better with Blue.

Just as Jacques Offenbach, the great innovator of French comic opera, was an immigrant from Germany, so one of the seminal figures in the development of Viennese operetta came from what is now Croatia.

Francesco Suppé Demelli was born in 1819 on a ship off the Adriatic coast city of Spalato, Dalmatia (now Split, Croatia) to Austrian parents, sent to Italy to study law, and moved with his mother after his father’s death in 1835 to Vienna, where he became Franz von Suppé and took up music in earnest as a student of Ignaz Seyfried. Seyfried helped him get a job — initially unpaid — as Third Kapellmeister at the Josefstadt Theater, where his first stage work appeared in 1841. More than twenty theater scores followed in the next five years. He moved on to other, more lucrative, positions in Vienna’s light-opera theaters, and continued to conduct until 1883, all the while turning out a steady stream of wellreceived musical farces. Das Pensionat of 1860, the first successful Viennese response to the growing local popularity of Offenbach’s Parisian operettas, established the form with which Johann Strauss, Franz Lehár and others were to charm the world in later decades. Suppé’s Poet and Peasant Overture, composed in 1846 as part of the incidental music for Karl Elmar’s forgotten comedy Dichter und Bauer, may be Suppé’s most familiar music — one catalog lists some 59 transcriptions for virtually every conceivable ensemble.

program notes by Dr. Richard E. Rodda

The Napoleonic juggernaut twice overran the city of Vienna. The first occupation began on November 13, 1805, less than a month after the Austrian armies had been soundly trounced by the French legions at the Battle of Ulm on October 20th. Though the entry into Vienna was peaceful, the Viennese had to pay dearly for the earlier defeat in punishing taxes, restricted freedoms and inadequate food supplies. On December 28, following Napoleon’s fearsome victory at Austerlitz that forced the Austrian government into capitulation, the Little General left Vienna. He returned in May 1809, this time with cannon and cavalry sufficient to subdue the city by force, creating conditions that were worse than those during the previous occupation. As part of his booty and in an attempt to ally the royal houses of France and Austria, Napoleon married Marie Louise, the eighteen-year-old daughter of Austrian Emperor Franz.

She became the successor to his first wife, Josephine, whom he divorced because she was unable to bear a child. It was to be five years — 1814 — before the Corsican was finally defeated and Emperor Franz returned to Vienna, riding triumphantly through the streets of the city on a huge, white Lipizzaner.

Such soul-troubling times would seem to be antithetical to the production of great art, yet for Beethoven, that ferocious libertarian, those years were the most productive of his life. Hardly had he begun one work before another appeared on his desk, and his friends recalled that he labored on several scores simultaneously during this period. Sketches for many of the works appear intertwined in his notebooks, and an exact chronology for most of the works from 1805 to 1810 is impossible. So close were the dates of completion of the Fifth and Sixth Symphonies, for example, that their numbers were reversed when they were given their premieres on the same giant concert as the Fourth Concerto. Between Fidelio, which was in its last week of rehearsal when Napoleon entered Vienna in 1805, and the music for Egmont, finished shortly after the second invasion, Beethoven composed the following major works: “Appassionata” Sonata, Op. 57; Violin Concerto; Fourth and Fifth Piano Concertos; three Quartets of Op. 59; Leonore Overture No. 3; Coriolan Overture; Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Symphonies; two Piano Trios (Op. 70); “Les Adieux” Sonata, Op. 81a; and many smaller songs, chamber works and piano compositions.

It is a stunning record of accomplishment virtually unmatched in the history of music.

Of the nature of the Fourth Concerto, Milton Cross wrote, “[Here] the piano concerto once and for all shakes itself loose from the 18th century.

Virtuosity no longer concerns Beethoven at all; his artistic aim here, as in his symphonies and quartets, is the expression of deeply poetic and introspective thoughts.” The mood is established immediately at the outset of the work by a hushed, prefatory phrase for the soloist. The form of the movement, vast yet intimate, begins to unfold with the ensuing orchestral introduction, which presents the rich thematic material: the program notes 2013-2014 season

13

pregnant main theme, with its small intervals and repeated notes; the secondary themes — a melancholy strain with an arch shape and a grand melody with wide leaps; and a closing theme of descending scales. The soloist re-enters to enrich the themes with elaborate figurations.

The central development section is haunted by the rhythmic figuration of the main theme (three short notes and an accented note). The recapitulation returns the themes, and allows an opportunity for a cadenza (Beethoven composed two for this movement) before a glistening coda closes the movement.

The second movement starkly opposes two musical forces — the stern, unison summons of the strings and the gentle, touching replies of the piano. Franz Liszt compared this music to Orpheus taming the Furies, and the simile is warranted, since both Liszt and Beethoven traced their visions to the magnificent scene in Gluck’s Orfeo where Orpheus’ music charms the very fiends of Hell. In the Concerto, the strings are eventually subdued by the entreaties of the piano, which then gives forth a wistful little song filled with quivering trills. After only the briefest pause, a high-spirited and long-limbed rondo-finale is launched by the strings to bring the Concerto to a stirring close.

Selections by Johann Strauss Jr. and Josef Strauss

JOHANN STRAUSS JR. about the composer

Born 25 October 1825 in Vienna; died there 3 June 1899

josef STRAUSS. about the composer

Born 22 August 1827 in Vienna; died there 21 July 1870

In September 1894, as Vienna was eagerly preparing to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of his debut as composer and conductor the following month, Johann Strauss began sketching a new operetta to a libretto by the successful comedic playwright Gustav Davis. Waldmeister invoked the tested devices of mistaken identities, untoward amorous advances and mismatched couples in a plot lubricated by the timely imbibing of a potent alcoholic potion made with the flowering forest plant known in English as sweet woodruff (Waldmeister in German). The premiere, at the Theater-an-der-Wien on December 4, 1895, proved to be one of Strauss’ greatest theatrical successes since Die Fledermaus, and it ran for 88 performances that season and drew enthusiastic praise from the venerable Johannes Brahms, especially for its handling of the orchestra. (“How magnificently Strauss orchestrates,” Brahms told his friend the influential critic Eduard Hanslick.) Strauss conducted the concert premiere of the operetta’s overture at the Musikverein four days later, though he had to delay starting the performance for some time because of the audience’s overwhelming acclamation when he stepped onto the podium.

The delightful Waldmeister Overture is built around several themes from the operetta, including an infectious waltz that ingeniously inverts the opening phrase of his ever-popular On the Beautiful Blue Danube and a song that he wrote when he was a teenager.

When Strauss made his only visit to England, in 1867, he stayed at a mansion on the outskirts of London with his wife, Jetty. He grew so fond of the halcyon countryside that on his return to Vienna he immediately purchased a villa in the suburb Hietzing, near Schönbrunn Palace. Jetty wrote to a friend, “Johann has bought a small house here, so nice and comfortable that we imagine we are living in dear England again.” (Strauss sold the house in 1878, soon after Jetty’s death, but there he wrote many dance pieces and his first six operettas, including Die Fledermaus.)

Under the bucolic influences of his new residence and his memories of London, he composed Stadt und Land (“Town and Country”), which he premiered on January 12, 1868 in the spacious garden room of the Vienna Horticultural Society at a concert to aid the city’s nursery schools. Stadt und Land is in the hybrid style of the polka-mazurka, which adapts the dance movements of the quick, duple-meter polka to the moderate tempo and triple-meter music of the Polish mazurka.

The “fast polka” Auf der Jagd (“At the Hunt”) is based on themes from Cagliostro in Wien (“Cagliostro in Vienna”) of 1875, Strauss’ fourth operetta, in which the infamous 18th-century Italian adventurer, physician, magician and alchemist descends upon the imperial city to work his wiles and charms upon the gullible Viennese aristocracy, not least the Empress herself. In its concert setting, Auf der Jagd is a miniature tone poem that evokes forest scenes with its gun shots, hunting horns and galloping rhythms.

on October 1, 1880; after opening the Casino Theatre in New York on October 21, 1882, it was his most popular stage work with American audiences for many years. For a Sunday afternoon concert at the Musikverein directed by his brother Eduard on November 7th, Strauss assembled a sequence of waltz melodies from the operetta under the title Rosen aus dem Süden — Roses from the South.

The explosive growth of the middle class and the concomitant availability of leisure time in the late 19th century allowed for an unprecedentedly wide enjoyment of sports and entertainment.

The Strausses, as adept at marketing as they were at music, seldom let an opportunity pass to capitalize on the social life of Vienna in their performances or their compositions, and in 1868 Josef wrote the Sport Polka to evoke the speed and delight of athletic pastimes. He did not indicate exactly which sport he intended his piece to represent, but the cover of the first edition shows a jockey in a whirlwind dance with a female partner, probably suggesting his own favorite, horse racing.

The steam trains that revolutionized travel during Johann Strauss’ lifetime were in no small part responsible for bringing his music and his orchestra to audiences across Europe. For the Association of Industrial Societies’ Ball in Vienna on January 19, 1864, Strauss composed the fast polka Vergnügungszug, a lively and descriptive number whose title referred to the popular “pleasure trains” that offered excursions to mystery locations.

Carmen Fantasie Brilliante for Flute and Orchestra (1872-1875; arr. 1900)

woodwinds in pairs, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, percussion and strings duration

Carmen continues to excite and intrigue as do few other musical works.

The fascination of the opera is not just in the glorious music but also in the characterization and dramatic power that electrify the score: Carmen herself is an unfathomable mixture of dark sensuality and steely scorn; Don José is an all-too-human Everyman, drawn like a moth into the searing flame of Carmen’s temptations; Micaëla is sweet and good and pitiable and defeated by events beyond her control; Escamillo, the Toreador, parades his machismo as a mask for his lack of feeling and tenderness.

The Carmen Fantasie Brilliante for Flute and Orchestra is by François Borne (1862-1929), who taught the instrument at the Toulouse Conservatory in the decades surrounding the turn of the 20th century. In addition to this virtuosic repertory item, Borne is also remembered by flutists for developing the “split E device” with the flute manufacturer Djalma Julliot to aid in the production of that high note on the instrument. The Fantasie Brilliante is a virtuoso gloss on some of the best-known moments from Bizet’s beloved opera: the dramatic music that accompanies Carmen’s entrance in Act I; the ominous “fate” theme that forms the second half of the opera’s prelude; the cigarette girls’ anxious chorus as they await the arrival of Carmen; the Habanera (with two elaborate variations), in which Carmen sings of the fickleness of her love (whose melody Bizet borrowed from a popular song by the Spanish composer Sebastián de Yradier); the Danse Bohême in Act II marking Carmen’s return to her Gypsy band after fleeing from Seville; and a dazzling treatment of the swaggering Song of the Toreador sung by the bullfighter Escamillo.

TILL FELLNER Pianist Till Fellner plays with scrupulous musicianship, purity of style and sparkling keyboard command—qualities that have earned him acclaim throughout Europe, the United States and Japan. His readings of the works of Bach and Beethoven in particular have placed him among the elect in this repertoire, and the inspired ingenuity of his performances of such 20th century masters as György Kurtág and Elliott Carter have earned him many accolades.

This season in North America, he debuts with the San Francisco Symphony and Semyon Bychkov performing Mozart, and the Pittsburgh Symphony with Manfred Honeck for Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4. Recent appearances include the Boston Symphony with Bernard Haitink, Chicago Symphony with Manfred Honceck, many appearances with the Montreal Symphony and Kent Nagano, and recitals at Carnegie Hall, San Francisco Performances, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and the Washington Performing Arts Society.

This past summer, Fellner stepped in for an indisposed Evgeny Kissin at the Salzburg Festival receiving a standing ovation and great critical acclaim. In the 2013-14 season Mr. Fellner, as artist-in-residence at the Bamberg Symphony, will appear numerous times with this ensemble.

Other highlights include concerts with the Munich Philharmonic under Kent Nagano and the NHK Symphony Orchestra under Sir Neville Marriner, as well as recitals and chamber music in Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Russia, Japan, and Malaysia.

20

In recent seasons, Fellner completed his critically acclaimed complete Beethoven piano sonata cycle, which he performed throughout the United States, and at Konzerthaus in Vienna, Wigmore Hall in London, the Salle Gaveau in Paris and Toppan Hall in Tokyo. In addition to performing Schubert’s Winterreise on tour with Mark Padmore, he appeared at the Orford Festival International de Musique with Kent Nagano and the Montréal Symphony, the Orchestre National de France with Kurt Masur, the Philharmonia Orchestra of London under Sir Charles Mackerras, and the Munich Philharmonic with Lothar Zagrosek.

In 1993, Fellner came to world attention by winning First Prize at the important Clara Haskil International Piano Competition at Vevey, Switzerland. Since that time, Fellner has appeared as guest soloist with many of the world’s foremost orchestras, working with conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Christoph von Dohnányi, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Kurt Masur, Leonard Slatkin and Franz Welser-Möst, among many others. He also has performed as partner to cellist Heinrich Schiff and violinist Viviane Hagner, as well as Padmore, Batiashvili and Adrian Brendel.

He has collaborated with numerous conductors, including Claudio Abbado, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Christoph von Dohnányi, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Heinz Holliger, Marek Janowski, Sir Charles Mackerras, Sir Neville Marriner, Kurt Masur, Kent Nagano, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Leonard Slatkin, Claudius Traunfellner, Franz Welser-Möst and Hans Zender.

Fellner has an impressive discography to his credit on the EMI, Claves, Erato, Philips and ECM labels. His 2010 ECM recording of the Beethoven Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5, with Nagano and the Montreal Symphony, was lauded for its clarity and impeccable beauty.

He appears on an ECM album of new works

by Thomas Larcher, and his recording of Bach’s Two- and Three-Part Inventions and French Suite No. V, has received widespread critical praise, in keeping with his acclaimed ECM recording of the first book of Bach’s monumental WellTempered Clavier. Fellner also has recorded Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 19, 22 and 25; Beethoven’s Concertos Nos. 2 & 3; a selection of Beethoven piano sonatas; Beethoven’s works for cello and piano (with Heinrich Schiff); Schubert’s Sonata in A minor D. 784 plus 6 Moments musicaux, 4 Impromptus and 12 waltzes; Schumann’s “Kreisleriana,” Op. 16; and Schönberg’s Suite for Piano, Op. 25.

Fellner was a student of Helene Sedo-Stadler and has studied privately with Alfred Brendel, Meira Farkas, Oleg Maisenberg and ClausChristian Schuster.

These perfomances mark Mr. Fellner’s debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

TOMÁS LUIS DE VICTORIA

Three Motets for Chorus

about the composer

Born 1548 in Avila, Spain died 20 August 1611 in Madrid

Tomás Luis de Victoria, the greatest composer of the Spanish Renaissance, was born in Avila and trained in the rudiments of music as a choirboy at the local cathedral. When his voice broke in 1565, he was sent to study at the Jesuit Collegio Germanico in Rome, where his teachers may have included Palestrina. Four years later he became organist and choirmaster at Santa Maria da Monserrato, a Spanish church in Rome. In 1571, he returned to the Collegio Germanico to teach, and later became choirmaster there. His first publications date from 1572, when he completed his training for the priesthood; he took holy orders in 1575. In 1578, perhaps influenced by the religious teachings of San Filippo Neri, Victoria joined the Oratory of the church of San Girolamo della Carità.

In the dedication addressed to Philip II in his second book of Masses, published in 1583, he confessed a desire to return to Spain and lead a quiet priestly life. The Spanish king named him chaplain to his sister, the Dowager Empress Maria, who lived in retirement at a convent in Madrid.

Victoria acted as the convent’s choirmaster and served the Empress until her death in 1603; he then held the less arduous post of organist until his own death in 1611. Victoria’s music comprises exclusively sacred vocal compositions — Masses, motets, hymns, Magnificats and offices — which are noted above all for their fervent, mystical expression.

Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes (“And When the Day of Pentecost Was Fully Come”), published in Venice in 1572 in Victoria’s first book of motets, sets the responsory text based on Acts 2:1-2 for the Matins service of Pentecost, the seventh Sunday after Easter, which celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus’ Apostles and other followers.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all with one accord in one place saying: Alleluia.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven. Alleluia.

As of a mighty rushing wind and it filled all the house. Alleluia.

When therefore the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jewish people suddenly a sound came upon them from heaven.

Alleluia.

As of a mighty rushing wind and it Tamquam spiritus vehementis et replevit totam domum. Alleluia. filled all the house. Alleluia.

Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes erant omnes pariter dicentes: Alleluia.

Et subito factus est sonus de caelo Alleluia.

Tamquam spiritus vehementis et replevit totam domum. Alleluia.

Dum ergo essent in unum discipuli congregati propter metum Judaeorum sonus repente de caelo venit super eos. Alleluia.

program notes by Dr. Richard E. Rodda

Victoria used his grand eight-voice setting of Ave Maria (“Hail Mary”), the traditional hymn asking for the intercession of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to close his first published book of motets, issued in Venice in 1572. He valued the work highly enough to include it in an anthology of his works published in Madrid in 1600, to which he added a part for organ.

Ave Maria, gratia plena: Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace: The Lord is with you, you are blessed among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Victoria added his moving funeral motet Versa est in luctum cithara mea (“My Harp Is Tuned for Lamentation”), based on verses from the book of Job, to the traditional liturgy of the Requiem Mass that he composed in April 1603 in memory of his long-time patron, the Dowager Empress Maria, who had died on February 26th. The music for the entire service was issued as the Officium Defunctorum in 1605; it was his final publication.

Versa est in luctum cithara mea, et organum meum in vocem flentium.

Parce mihi Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei.

My harp is tuned for lamentation, and my flute to the voice of those who weep.

Spare me, O Lord, for my days are as nothing.

ANTON BRUCKNER

Two Motets for Chorus

about the composer

Born 4 September 1824 in Ansfelden, Upper Austria died 11 October 1896 in Vienna

In 1856, just before he started taking counterpoint lessons from Simon Sechter (to whom Schubert had applied for instruction just before his premature death in 1828), Bruckner composed a setting of the Ave Maria, the supplication to the Virgin derived from the annunciation, for solo voices, four-part chorus and organ. He then refrained almost completely from creative work during the five-year course of tuition with Sechter, which he carried on by mail and occasional visits to Vienna from his post as organist in Linz. Bruckner marked the end of his study in 1861 with another version of the Ave Maria text, this one for unaccompanied seven-part chorus. (His third Ave Maria, for contralto and organ, dates from 1882.) The 1861 Ave Maria is generally regarded as the first masterwork among his motets, and its premiere at Linz on May 15, 1861, in which he debuted in the joint roles of conductor and composer, marked the beginning of his artistic maturity.

Ave Maria gratia plena Dominus tecum.

Benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.

Sancta Maria, mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Hail, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Bruckner composed Locus iste for the dedication of the votive chapel in the new Linz Cathedral in 1869, and premiered it at the Cathedral on September 25th as a pendant to a performance of the E minor Mass. He revived Locus iste eleven years later, when he included it as the gradual in his D minor Mass on June 6, 1880, the first work of his to be heard in Vienna after the calamitous premiere of the Third Symphony in 1877.

Locus iste a Deo factus est inaestimabile sacramentum irreprehensibilis est.

GREGORIO ALLEGRI

Miserere mei, Deus (“Have Mercy Upon Me”) for Double Chorus (1638)

about the composer

Born in 1582 in Rome died there 7 February 1652

Gregorio Allegri is remembered almost entirely for a single composition, but that work became the stuff of legend and mystery. Allegri was born in Rome in 1582 and became a chorister at the age of nine at the city’s San Luigi dei Francesi, where he was committed to the priesthood and studied music with the church’s respected choirmaster, Giovanni Maria Nanino, with such efficacy that he was appointed a singer and composer at the cathedral in Fermo in 1607. After serving tenures in Tivoli and as maestro di cappella at Santo Spirito in Sassia in Rome, he was appointed to the Papal Choir as an alto in December 1629; he became its maestro di cappella in 1650. He died in Rome on February 7, 1652. Allegri, as required by his employment at the Vatican, composed his Masses and many motets in a conservative idiom still under the sway of Palestrina, but he also wrote several pieces for string ensemble that are among the earliest works of their kind.

Tenebrae — “darkness” — encompasses the most solemn moments of the Christian year. The name is applied to the combined Roman Catholic services of Matins and Lauds, which bracket daybreak, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of Holy Week, during which fifteen candles signifying the ebbing life of Christ are extinguished one-by-one after the singing of the obligatory Psalms. The service closes “in tenebris.” For a Matins service of Tenebrae in the Sistine Chapel around 1638, Allegri made a setting of Psalm 51 — Miserere mei, Deus (“Have Mercy Upon Me, O God”) — for double choir (four and five voices) that alternates verses of plainchant and polyphony. Felix Mendelssohn recorded his impressions of the experience when he heard the work performed during his stay in Rome in 1831: “At each verse, a candle is extinguished.… The whole choir intones, fortissimo, a new psalm melody.... Then the last candles are put out, the Pope leaves his throne and prostrates himself on his knees before the altar; everyone kneels with him, and says what is called a Pater noster sub silentio.... Immediately afterwards, the Miserere be­gins, pianissimo.

For me, this is the most beautiful moment of the whole ceremony. You can easily imagine what follows, but you could never form any idea of that open­ing…. During this Pater noster, deathly silence reigns through­out the chapel, after which the Miserere begins with the singing of a quiet chord of voices, and then the music unfolds in the two choirs. It was this opening, and in particular the very first sound, that made the greatest impression on me. After an hour and a half in which one has heard nothing but unison singing, and almost without modulation, the silence is suddenly broken by a magnificent chord: it is strik­ing, and one feels a deep sense of the power of music.”

program notes by Dr. Richard E. Rodda

So profound was the impression of the Miserere (and so great the draw of this unique Roman experience for tourists) that Pope Urban VIII issued an edict forbidding the score to be copied or performed elsewhere upon pain of excommunication. The decree remained in force until the fourteenyear-old Wolfgang Mozart made a pilgrimage to Rome in 1770 to be made program notes 2013-2014 season

a Knight of the Golden Spur by Pope Clement XIV, and there heard Allegri’s Miserere and wrote it down from memory. Papa Leopold Mozart informed his wife, in Salzburg, “Wolfgang has copied it down and we would have sent it in this letter, if it were not necessary for us to be there to perform it because the manner of performance contributes more to its effect than the composition itself. Moreover, as it is one of the secrets of Rome, we do not wish to let it fall into the wrong hands.” The “manner of performance” Leopold mentioned concerns the elaborate ornamentation traditionally applied to the Miserere that was passed on by rote by the Papal Choir. Mozart’s manuscript is lost so it is unknown if he transcribed the ornamentation, but a copy of his score came into the possession of the English music historian Sir Charles Burney, possibly when they met in Bologna on the Mozarts’ return to Salzburg, and Burney published it in an undecorated version in London the following year. No record of the ornamentation from an authoritative source appeared until a Roman priest named Pietro Alfieri published an edition that included it in 1840. Allegri’s soaring Miserere soon entered the canon of Renaissance choral music and remains one of the most frequently performed and recorded items in that repertory. (chorus) Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuma.

Have mercy upon me, O God, after Thy great goodness.

Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.

According to the multitude of Thy mercies do away mine offences.

Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.

(chant) (chorus)

Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.

Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.

For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me.

Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged.

(chant) (chorus)

Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.

Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.

Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me.

But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.

(chant) (chorus)

Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.

Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.

Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.

(chant) (chorus)

Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.

Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds.

Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.

(chant) (chorus)

Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.

Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me.

Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.

O give me the comfort of Thy help again: and establish me with Thy free Spirit.

(chant) Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur. (chorus) Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea

justitiam tuam.

Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health: and

my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness. (chant) Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam. (chorus) Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis.

Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew Thy praise.

For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. (chant)

(chorus)

Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.

The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise.

O be favorable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.

(chorus)

Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: xtunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burntofferings and oblations: then shall they offer young calves upon Thine altar.

ANTON BRUCKNER

Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, “Romantic” (1874, 1878-1881, 1887-1888) 1878/1880 version, edited by Leopold Nowak Thoughts on Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4

On learning that the famous Tallis Scholars, who I greatly revere, were going to embark on a U.S. tour, I was immediately enthusiastic about the idea to invite them to Pittsburgh. By including them on this weekend’s program, we are certainly offering a unique and unusual experience to our audience as the orchestra appears onstage only after the intermission.

However, Bruckner, who loved the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire, really cannot be imagined without choral music. I am convinced that this exceptional combination will be a wonderful enrichment for you. The human voice and the Baroque a cappella sound of this fabulous choir will help to immerse you into the musical world of Anton Bruckner‘s symphonies.

Today, the music of Anton Bruckner is frequently associated with church music, incense, solemnity and its sacred origins. Indeed, Bruckner was regarded as one of the world‘s most outstanding organists of his time and in principle, the influence of religion on his body of work cannot be denied.

This is, however, hardly the case in his Fourth Symphony. Here, the other face of Bruckner emerges: his love of nature and his romantic heart. This symphony is not only called the “Romantic“ because it is based on a particular program, but the music also tells stories and conveys gripping images that will give us, if we listen closely, some indication of Bruckner‘s personality and attachment to nature.

Bruckner himself commented on the progam and described the beginning of the symphony as follows: Medieval city – dawn – morning calls sound from the city towers – the gates open – knights set out into the open on proud horses – the magic of the forest envelops them – whispering of the woods – bird song … etc. What a beautiful image! The forest murmurs in the tremolo of the strings and the famous wake-up call from a distance is performed by the French horn. It is interesting to know that this horn solo is asked for in practically every horn audition, as here the musician has to demonstrate his full prowess. With our own Principal Horn, William Caballero, we have one of the world‘s best players, and I am certain that he will immediately create the particular mood that this symphony requires.

The cantering horses can be perceived when the brass join and the birdsong is equally distinctive (Bruckner amiably dubbed the bird Zizibe). For me, it is tremendously important here to see Bruckner from a wordly, merry side and not merely consider his music as thick with incense. Bruckner continues “… and so the romantic picture develops further.“ It is now up to the conductor to discover these Romantic images—and doing so brings great joy as Bruckner displays a wealth of ideas coming directly from his own real life, wandering from one scene to the next. Here, Bruckner

34

generously draws on the Old Austrian traditions and its abundant folk music. It is interesting in this context that many composers of the time devoted themselves to nature and folklore, though giving their music a symphonic structure. Gustav Mahler in his Symphony No. 1 and Anton Dvorak in his Symphony No. 8, which otherwise could not be more dissimilar, both wrote all but tone poems, albeit in a symphonic guise.

In addition to Bruckner‘s own descriptions, I want to also mention some moments in the first movement that are important to me. Shortly before the development, following a depiction of the dark of night, there is a very beautiful extended transition telling of dreams, as if imagined by a sleepwalker. Therefore, it is vital that the clarinet and flute play completely without tempo. Shortly thereafter, the brass intones a choral-like episode of a certain heroic character.

The recapitulation can hardly be referred to as daybreak; rather, it resembles nightfall. For this reason, I have the timpani imitate the theme gloomily, like a shadow. The movement has a very powerful, heroic ending.

Bruckner himself commented on the second movement: “A boy in love wants to climb through his loved one‘s window – but is not let in.“ I have the suspicion that Bruckner portrayed himself here, or at least included his secret feelings of love. The violas play two extensive melodic lines referred to by Bruckner as “Serenade,“ a token of love, a courtship. This is one of the very few symphonic solos for the entire viola section. At the end of the movement, following a prominent interval of the fourth played by the timpani (something Gustav Mahler used to a similar effect nine years later at the beginning of the third movement of his First Symphony) there appears a resigned phrase which sounds like a musical quotation of his own name: “Anton Bru-ckner“ after a failed courtship. One might almost sing along with the violas.

Bruckner revised most of his symphonies several times and this is no different with the Fourth Symphony. Bruckner actually wrote four versions of the last movement, whereas he completely rewrote the third movement, Scherzo. The first part of this movement depicts a hunt, whereas the plain Austrian Trio is, in Bruckner‘s own words, a “dance tune played for the hunters during their meal“ — a very simple, ordinary Ländler which in its serenity presents a graceful contrast to the lively hunting scene.

The Finale, after the aforementioned four revisions, contains everything Bruckner has to offer — a folk fair, an approaching thunderstorm, brass with powerful themes whose pillars of sound are reminiscent of the later symphonies, Austrian dances, Hungarian-style melodies and Baroque sound patterns. I find the structure of the coda with its gradual ascent to the return of the main theme of the first movement simply magnificent. It is quite obvious that Bruckner was already working on his Seventh and Eighth Symphonies during the time of revision of the Fourth. For me, this Fourth Symphony, though, is an Austrian expression of nature. Popular Austrian tunes are assimilated into symphonic art, a way of composing that Gustav Mahler (whose teacher incidentally was Anton Bruckner) would later absorb.

I am happy to relay that this weekend’s performances of Bruckner‘s Fourth Symphony will be recorded for CD, thus making the performances of our Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra available for a wider public.

Please enjoy the concert!

the tallis scholars The Tallis Scholars were founded in 1973 by their director, Peter Phillips. Through their recordings and concert performances, they have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Peter Phillips has worked with the ensemble to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound which he feels best serve the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars have become so widely renowned.

The Tallis Scholars perform in both sacred and secular venues, usually giving around 70 concerts each year across the globe. In 2013 the group celebrates their 40th anniversary with commissions from Gabriel Jackson and Eric Whitacre, extensive touring and special CD releases. They kicked off the year with a spectacular performance in St Paul’s Cathedral, London to an audience of over 2,000 people.

During the 13-14 season the group will tour the United States twice, Australia, and will make their debut in New Zealand – as well as

36 36

visiting festivals and venues across the UK and Europe. They will continue their association with the Choral at Cadogan series, of which Peter Phillips is artistic director, giving two performances in the Hall.

The Tallis Scholars’ career highlights have included a tour of China in 1999, including two concerts in Beijing; and the privilege of performing in the Sistine Chapel in April 1994 to mark the final stage of the complete restoration of the Michelangelo frescoes, broadcast on Italian and Japanese television.

The ensemble have commissioned many contemporary composers during their history: in 1998 they celebrated their 25th anniversary with a special concert in London’s National Gallery, premiering a Sir John Tavener work written for the group and narrated by Sting. A further performance was given with Sir Paul McCartney in New York in 2000. The Tallis Scholars are broadcast regularly on radio (including performances from the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in 2007, 2008 and 2011) and have also been featured on the acclaimed ITV programme The Southbank Show.

Much of The Tallis Scholars reputation for their pioneering work has come from their association with Gimell Records, set up

by Peter Phillips and Steve Smith in 1980 solely to record the group. In February 1994, Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars performed on the 400th anniversary of the death of Palestrina in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, where Palestrina had trained as a choirboy and later worked as Maestro di Cappella. The concerts were recorded by Gimell and are available on both CD and DVD. Recordings by The Tallis Scholars have attracted many awards throughout the world.

In 1987, their recording of Josquin’s Missa La sol fa re mi and Missa Pange lingua received Gramophone magazines Record of the Year award, the first recording of early music ever to win this coveted award. In 1989, the French magazine Diapason gave two of its critical Diapason d’Or de l’Année awards for the recordings of a mass and motets by Lassus and for Josquin’s two masses based on the chanson L’Homme armé. Their recording of Palestrina’s Missa Assumpta est Maria and Missa Sicut lilium was awarded

Gramophone’s Early Music Award in 1991; they received the 1994 Early Music Award for their recording of music by Cipriano de Rore; and the same distinction again in 2005 for their disc of music by John Browne. Released on the 30th anniversary of Gimell Records in March 2010, The Tallis Scholars’ recording of Victoria’s Lamentations of Jeremiah received critical acclaim, and to further celebrate the anniversary, the group released three four-CD box sets of “The Best of The Tallis Scholars,” one for each decade. In November 2012, their recording of Josquin’s Missa De beata virgine and Missa Ave maris stella received a Diapason d’Or de l’Année and in their 40th anniversary year they are welcomed into the Gramophone ‘Hall of Fame’ by public vote.

These accolades and achievements are continuing evidence of the exceptionally high standard maintained by The Tallis Scholars, and of their dedication to one of the great repertoires in Western classical music.

peter phillips Peter Phillips has made an impressive if unusual reputation for himself in dedicating his life’s work to the research and performance of Renaissance polyphony. Having won a scholarship to Oxford in 1972, Phillips studied Renaissance music with David Wulstan and Denis Arnold, and gained experience in conducting small vocal ensembles, already experimenting with the rarer parts of the repertoire. He founded the Tallis Scholars in 1973, with whom he has now appeared in almost 2,000 concerts and made nearly 60 discs, encouraging interest in polyphony all over the world. As a result of his work, through concerts, recordings, magazine awards and publishing editions of the music and writing articles, Renaissance music has come to be accepted for the first time as part of the mainstream classical repertoire.

Apart from the Tallis Scholars, Phillips continues to work with other specialist ensembles. He has appeared with the Collegium Vocale of Ghent and the Netherlands Chamber Choir, and is currently working with the Choeur de Chambre de Namur, Intrada of Moscow, Musica Reservata of Barcelona and the Tudor Choir of Seattle. Phillips also works extensively with the BBC Singers with whom he gave a Promenade concert, in collaboration with the Tallis Scholars, from the Royal Albert Hall in July 2007. He gives numerous master-classes and choral workshops every year around the world — amongst other places in Rimini (Italy), Evora (Portugal) and Barcelona (Spain) — and is also artistic director of the Tallis Scholars Summer Schools: annual choral courses based in Uppingham (UK), Seattle (USA) and Sydney (Australia) dedicated to exploring the heritage of renaissance choral music, and developing a performance style appropriate to it as pioneered

by The Tallis Scholars.

In addition to conducting, Phillips is wellknown as a writer. For more than 30 years

38

he has contributed a regular music column (as well as one, more briefly, on cricket) to The Spectator. In 1995 he became the owner and publisher of The Musical Times, the oldest continuously published music journal in the world. His first book, English Sacred Music 1549–1649, was published by Gimell in 1991, while his second, What We Really Do, a personalised account of what touring is like, alongside insights about the makeup and performance of polyphony, was published in 2003 and a revised edition has just been released.

Phillips has made numerous television and radio broadcasts. Besides those featuring The Tallis Scholars (which include live broadcasts from the 2001, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013 Proms, the 2007 Edinburgh Festival, the Aldeburgh Festival and the Bath Festival), he has appeared several times on the BBC’s Music Weekly and on the BBC World Service, on Kaleidoscope (BBC Radio 4), on Today (BBC Radio 4), National Public Radio in the US and on German, French and Canadian radio, where he has enjoyed deploying his love of languages.

In 1990, ITV’s The South Bank Show featured Phillips’ “personal odyssey” with the Tallis Scholars; while in 2002 a special television documentary was made for the BBC about the life and times of William Byrd.

Phillips has recently been appointed a Reed Rubin Director of Music and Bodley Fellow at Merton College, Oxford, where the new choral foundation he helped to establish began singing services in October 2008. They gave their first live broadcast on BBC Radio Three’s Choral Evensong in October 2011. In 2005, Phillips was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Minister of Culture, a decoration intended to honour individuals who have contributed to the understanding of French culture in the world.

legacy of excellence legacy of excellence

In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the PSO’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed naming opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for 10 years, 20 years or in perpetuity.
