From our Music Director, Sarah Ioannides, to you ...

The Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra is back, and in full bloom!

This season promises to be one of the most exciting yet. Each performance will celebrate ties with our community – Ballet Spartanburg, Converse College, Spartanburg Choirs, and young musicians of the area – as well as the young rising stars of the classical music world.

Next, we reach out to Spartanburg’s finest young string players from all regions in an invitation to join the Philharmonic on stage with an exciting rendition of Beethoven Symphony No.5.

page 15

Hailed “expressive, brilliant and elegant,” Tim Fain joins SPO in Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto within a gripping American program of Bernstein and Barber. A strong start to the season, for sure!

| Patrice Jackson – who has soloed with the Philadelphia Orchestra – joins us in Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations for the first concert of 2011. During that same performance we continue our longstanding collaboration with Converse College by featuring a work from one of their very own: David Berry, Professor of Composition.

In March we bring back academy award-winning composer Dario Marianelli for a rescheduled performance of The Atonement Suite, and the U.S. premier of The Pride & Prejudice Suite. We’ll also feature French works by Debussy & Ravel – inspiring music from the past that has heavily influenced the evening’s composers and musicians.

With only five very special occasions to celebrate, we hope that you’ll be there for each one. Thank you for all of your support in making this season possible, and for keeping Spartanburg Alive with Music from the SPO!

Sarah Ioannides

2010-2011 season

Our Christmas spectacular is a great way to kick off your holiday festivities! Traditional favorites will have a special American flavor with jazzy features, contributions from the Pure-N-Heart Children’s Choir, a carol sing-along led by the Spartanburg First Presbyterian Church Chancel Choir, and other special guest artists.

Sarah Ioannides, Music Director Hailed by the New York Times as a conductor with “unquestionable strength and authority,” Sarah Ioannides’ dynamic presence on the podium has won praise from audiences and critics alike for bringing fresh ideas, original programs and exciting performances to the Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra since becoming its sixth Music Director in 2005.

During her tenure with the SPO, Ioannides has presented world premieres and enriched the orchestra’s repertoire with numerous first time performances.

Her dedication to develop and sustain an enthusiastic audience for classical music has attracted new generations of music lovers bearing a positive impact on the city’s cultural life.

Guest conducting engagements span five continents and include the Orchestra Nationale de Lyon, Flemish Radio Orchestra at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Bachakademie in Stuttgart, Nordic Chamber Orchestra, Swedish Wind Ensemble, Orquesta Sinfonica Municipal de Caracas, Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra in Korea, Wurttembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn, Cyprus State Orchestra, Chattanooga Symphony, Annapolis Symphony and the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra. She has also appeared in special engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the New World Symphony and the London Symphony Orchestra.

Upcoming debuts for the 2010–2011 season include the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Louisville Orchestra, and Västerås Sinfonietta, Sweden.

A native of Australia, Ioannides was raised in England. She entered Oxford University on an instrumental scholarship earning a Bachelor of Arts and Masters of Music degree. Ioannides was awarded an Advanced Certificate in Conducting from the Guildhall School of Music in London, a Diploma in Conducting from the Curtis Institute of Music where she studied as a Fulbright scholar, and a Masters in Orchestral Conducting from the Juilliard School of Music.

Ioannides was appointed as Assistant Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra from 2002 through 2004 under Music Director Paavo Jarvi, and served as the Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra. Prior to that appointment Ioannides was Assistant Conductor to Academy Award winning composer Tan Dun touring Japan, China, Hong Kong, Russia, France, Germany, Sweden, the USA and the UK. As such, she conducted the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Flemish Radio Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Sinfonietta and the Oregon Bach Festival.

In the field of opera, Ioannides led the European premiere of Stephen Paulus’ The Woodlanders, garnering acclaim from the Times, The Guardian, and The Telegraph in the UK. Additional production highlights include the works of Mozart, Britten and Offenbach, as well as numerous collaborations with opera companies and festivals worldwide. Opera-Opera depicted Ioannides lyrical conducting technique as one “with the most persuasive of gentle textures, she coaxed from the performers an extraordinary array of sounds. She was grace personified.”

2008 marked the release of Ioannides’ debut recording with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and violinist Lara St. John. The recording features the Suite from the Red Violin by John Corigliano and two world premiers.

| 2010-2011 season

Sarah Ioannides and her husband Scott Hartman are parents to daughter Audrey and twins Elsa and Karl.

page 17

In 2009 Ioannides was featured in the Los Angeles Times as one of six female conductors breaking the glass podium. Recognized by the New York Times as part of “a new wave of female conductors,” Ioannides is the recipient of numerous prizes and scholarships. Highlights include: the JoAnn Falletta award for the most promising female conductor, the Bruno Walter Assistant Conductor Chair, The Kenneth Tyghe Memorial Prize from the Leeds Conducting Competition, the Presser Award from the Curtis Institute and the Janet Watson Prize from Oxford University.

As much as we love chatting, sometimes we’d rather just sit back and give our brains a rest; and so the idea for pre-concert entertainment was born. Join us for duos, trios, or other small ensembles sure to please with a variety of musical talents. All pre-concert entertainment takes place in Twichell Auditorium.

W. David Eddins, D.V.M Stefaine Gagliardi, D.V.M.

Music for a Scene from Shelley, op. 7 Samuel Barber (1910-1981) American composer, Samuel Barber II, was born to create music. His mother was a pianist, Aunt Louise Homer a leading contralto at the Metropolitan Opera, and Uncle Sidney Homer a composer of American art songs. Barber wrote a note to his mother at age nine:

Shelley is a tone poem in an A-B form with a coda — a tone painting through orchestral color. Beginning with muted strings, horns and trumpets the music then shifts to jubilant, triple-forte strings. Intensity and speed and brilliant high brass music brings this work to a “fortissimo climax.” Then a concluding coda resumes the spirit of the opening, as it ends with softly muted brasses.

After winning the Prix de Rome in 1935 Barber traveled to Italy where, in 1935, he composed the Music for a Scene from Shelley. Barber explained, “In the summer of 1933 I was reading Prometheus Unbound. The lines in Act II Scene V, where Shelley indicates music ... suggested the composition. It is really incidental music for this scene, and has nothing at all to do with the figure of Prometheus ...”

|

He began composing at age seven; entered the Curtis Institute at age 14 as a member of the institute’s first class in 1924. Here he was noted as a triple prodigy in composition, voice and piano. In those early years he wrote numerous classical works which were performed and conducted by leading artists of the day.

Dear Mother: I have written to tell you my worrying secret. Now don’t cry when you read it because it is neither your nor my fault. To begin with I was not meant to be an athelete. I was meant to be a composer, and will be I’m sure. I’ll ask you one more thing. Don’t ask me to try to forget this unpleasant thing and go play football. Please. Sometimes I’ve been worrying about this so much that it makes me mad.

Violin Concerto in E minor, op. 64 Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)

2010-2011 season

page 34

Few of the great musicians of the past have led the happy successful life of Felix Mendelssohn who was born in Germany to wealthy, educated parents. His musical genius was realized at an early age and he was well educated, not only in music, but in the arts and philosophy. He was a child prodigy, playing the piano in public at age nine and composing prolifically by age eleven. Well-mannered and elegant in his style, Mendelssohn was very popular during his lifetime. In fact it is often stated that the only thing he lacked was the stress, turmoil, or tragedy to give him an urgency in communicating his deepest feelings through his music.

As conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Mendelssohn appointed his good friend, violin virtuoso Ferdinand David, as concertmaster in 1836. Mendelssohn was himself an excellent violinist. In 1838 he wrote to David, “I should like to write a concerto for you next winter. One in E minor keeps running in my head and the beginning will not leave me in peace.”

The E minor Violin Concerto was written over a six year period. The premier performance occurred at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on March 13, 1845 with Ferdinand David as the soloist and with Niels W. Gade conducting. Mendelssohn missed the first performance because of illness. The concerto was an instant hit.

The three movements are played without interruption. Mendelssohn makes the orchestra a full partner with the soloist. The incomparable nineteenth century violinist, Joseph Joachim, who was Mendelssohn’s own pupil, probably played the concerto more than anyone. He said at a party given on his seventy-fifth birthday in 1906, “The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest, the one that makes fewest concessions, is Beethoven’s. The one by Brahms comes close to Beethoven’s in its seriousness. Max Bruch wrote the richest and most enchanting of the four. But the dearest of them all, the heart’s jewel, is Mendelssohn’s.”

Program Notes by Joella Utley

On the Waterfront: Symphonic Suite Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) American-born Leonard Bernstein was one of the 20th century’s most celebrated musicians, renowned as a conductor, composer and pianist. His was a presence on Broadway, in Hollywood, at Carnegie Hall, and with the New York Philharmonic as well as on radio and early television. Bernstein was the first classical music conductor to make numerous television appearances between 1954 and 1989.

page 35

The son of first-generation Jewish immigrants from Russia, he began the study of piano at age ten and wanted to become a concert pianist. His parents, however, hoped that Lenny would seek a more practical profession. He was sent to the Boston Latin School and then to Harvard where he obtained a degree in law. But after graduation he became a student at the Curtis Institute of Music and began to study orchestration. Summers at Tanglewood brought him into contact with conductor Serge Koussevitzky. His unique style and musical abilities were noted by Arthur Rodizinzki, who appointed him assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, a group he would come to lead for many seasons.

| Bernstein was not prepared for the way his music was handled in the film. He was not used to having his music cut, changed into a different order and having the volume turned down when the theme reached its emotional heights. Thus he never agreed to do another film project.

The composer later brought the music together as a six-movement suite which portrays the atmosphere, the emotion, the tenderness and the pathos of that savage episode. As Bernstein described the suite: “The main materials of the suite undergo numerous metamorphoses, following as much as possible the chronological flow of the film itself.” A misty dawn over the New York skyline and dockyards is interrupted by the Presto barbaro when the mob gets vicious; the tender and haunting Andante largamente that represents Eva Marie Saint (“one of the most beautiful that Bernstein penned...”) yield to the tragic dirge-like finale.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

2010-2011 season

In 1954 Bernstein was asked to write the film score for Elia Kazon’s film, On the Waterfront. The story of Waterfront was based on a true-life account of union corruption on the docks of New York City. A series of 24 articles in the New York Sun, written by reporter Malcolm Johnson, brought this situation to light. Johnson received a Pulitzer Prize for his work. On the Waterfront, featuring Marlon Brando and Eva Marie Saint, was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won eight. However Leonard Bernstein, who received a nomination, was not one of the recipients.

West Side Story: Selections (arr. Mason) Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990)

2010-2011 season

|

page 36

It took almost a decade for Bernstein to mold his thoughts for the musical, West Side Story. The idea came from choreographer Jerome Robbins in 1949. He proposed to set Romeo and Juliet in the slums of New York at the time of EasterPassover celebrations. The original title was “East Side Story” and the conflict was to be between Jews and Catholics. The idea was set aside for several years. Bernstein felt a surge of interest in the “Romeo-Juliet” idea as he worked on the music for On the Waterfront in 1954.

In that year Bernstein chose Stephen Sondheim to write the lyrics for the musical.

Sondheim was trained as a musician. Bernstein did not want to give up all the writing of the lyrics. They both shared an intense interest in words, word games, word puzzles and anagrams.

The work languished for a year or so. In December 1956, after the opening of Candide and acceptance of the position as Joint Principal Conductor of the New York Philharmonic, Bernstein took a few days in Nassau. There he realized that he had to work very earnestly on West Side Story to meet the deadlines. Through the spring and summer of 1957 Bernstein, Sondheim, Robbins and Arthur Laurents tugged away at the project. Sondheim wrote that his task was “to bring the language down to the level of real simplicity. The whole piece trembles on the brink of selfconscious pretentiousness anyway ... and Lenny’s idea of poetry was much more purple than mine.”

The original cast included Carol Lawrence and Chita Rivera. The premiere on September 26, 1967 was not a total triumph. “The show is, in general, not well sung,” wrote Walter Kerr of the Herald Tribune, “It is rushingly acted... and it is... almost never emotionally affecting.” But he also added, “The radioactive fallout from West Side Story must still be descending on Broadway this morning.... the most savage, restless, electrifying dance patterns we’ve been exposed to in a dozen seasons.”

Others described “... Romeo and Juliet with songs, dances and New York street gangs battling for turf ... the pulse-pounding Bernstein music.” “A venturesome forward step ... a bold new kind of musical theatre - a juke-box Manhattan opera,” says John Chapman of the Daily News. “...An exciting new form ... there is ballet and jive ... It is the most exciting thing that has come to town ...” according to John McCain of the Journal American. “It moves with the speed of a switchblade knife thrust,” proclaimed John Coleman of the Daily Mirror.

page 40

Praised for her unique personality and extraordinary musical sensitivity, American pianist Katie Mahan is quickly establishing herself as an artist of rare appeal. Her passionate performances have attracted audiences throughout the United States, Germany, France, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Canada, Austria, Russia and Japan.

A native of Colorado, Katie began her piano studies at the age of four with her mother, Bobette Mahan, and gave her first solo recital at the age of six. She has appeared as recitalist, soloist with orchestra, or chamber musician across the world.

Katie made her orchestral debut in the summer of 1999 with the Breckenridge Symphony performing Gershwin’s Concerto in F, and was soon invited for performances of Ravel’s Concerto in G major and Brahms’ Concerto in D minor. She has subsequently appeared with many orchestras in the United States and Canada.

Concerto highlights have included Clara Schumann’s Concertino in F minor with Maestra Marin Alsop and the Colorado Symphony in which Katie was lauded by Maestra Alsop as “a young protégée in the style of Clara Schumann” and a world premier performance of Canadian composer Michael Conway Baker’s Concerto Festiva with the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra. Further concerto appearances have included performances of Chopin’s Concerto in F minor, Rachmaninov’s Third Concerto, Mozart’s Concerto K414, and Mendelssohn’s Concerto for two pianos in E major.

Katie was recently awarded the prestigious 2008 Classical Superstar Award by the Berliner Salon, a Berlin-based foundation dedicated to discovering and furthering the careers of young and gifted individuals in the arts and sciences both in Germany and abroad, and is a prize winner in many national and international competitions.

Katie received her Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance Degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder where she was a student of Robert Spillman, graduating with highest honors. Katie was a protégé of the late Howard Waltz, himself a pupil of the legendary French pianist, Robert Casadesus, and has participated in masterclasses by such musicians as Stanislav Ioudenitch, Lang Lang, Lori Simms, and Nancy Roldan.

Katie is a Steinway Artist and has been featured on radio in Colorado and on TV in Canada, France, Czech Republic and Slovakia. Recent CD recordings include a recital program of Brahms, Rachmaninov, and Prokofiev, “Fantasy” containing works of Schumann and Schubert, and a program of Debussy.

Overture to “Don Giovanni” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

The overture begins solemnly with strains that accompany the later appearance of the stone guest in the last scene of the opera. These thirty measures in a minor key suddenly break into a sunny major key and continue briskly leading directly, without a break, into the opening scene.

Don Giovanni has been in the repertoire of established opera-houses for almost two hundred years, its only rival being Mozart’s Figaro. It’s safe to say that these two operas are being sung at least every month of the year somewhere in the world.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

2010-2011 season

The orchestra took their places shortly before seven and the hushed crowd waited for the conductor. Twenty or so minutes passed before a side door opened, not to admit Mozart, but a young boy bringing the freshly copied manuscripts, ink still wet, distributing them to the players who saw the music for the first time. The house was moved with enthusiasm as the overture subsided, but applause waited as the overture proceeded abruptly into the first act. Wolfgang is said to have winked at the Konzertmeister and whisper from the side of his mouth, “A good many notes fell under the desks, to be sure, but it went off damn well, just the same.”

|

The evening of the premier saw a great gathering of people including ladies in their jewels and flowers, their white hair piled high, and their escorts in velvet and jewelled swords. Also filling the galleries were the good towns people, and even the evilsmelling hoards of poor but true Bohemians who came to hear their own new opera.

page 41

The opera Don Giovanni has been described by great composers such as Rossini, Gounod, and Wagner as the greatest opera ever composed. This two act opera was first performed in Prague, October 29, 1787. The day before the premier was a day of celebration in anticipation of the opening with much partying and music playing. However a portion of the opera had yet to be written! The overture was in Mozart’s head but was not yet on paper and had not yet been rehearsed by the musicians. Mozart partied as much as anyone that day but at the insistence of his friends he finally went to his room to begin transcribing the overture. A little sleepy from “punch” he had Constanze, his wife, sat beside him talking to him to keep him awake. Mozart had the ability to write music quickly and as Constanze chattered on he wrote until three o’clock in the morning. At this point he could go no further, falling asleep until five o’clock. He then scribbled furiously finishing by seven and sent the manuscript to the copyist.

Piano Concerto in A minor, op. 7 Clara Schumann (1819-1896)

2010-2011 season

|

page 42

Born in Leipzig, Clara Wieck Schumann was raised primarily by her father, Friedrich Wieck. Her parents divorced when Clara was four years old and Friedrich was given custody. He became her one and only piano teacher. Clara was a musical prodigy who began playing public concerts by age nine. At eleven she toured Paris playing solo recitals. She rightfully earned a reputation throughout Europe as a musical child genius and a pianist of unbelievable virtuosity and musicianship.

At age 14 Clara began composing her one and only piano concerto, op. 7. Robert Schumann orchestrated the work for her. At that time Robert—Clara’s future husband—was also a piano pupil of Friedrich Weick. (The story of the romance of Robert and Clara and the opposition by Friedrich to their marriage is another story in itself!) Clara first performed her concerto on November 9, 1835 at the Leipzig Gewandhaus with Felix Mendelssohn conducting.

The Piano Concerto is an incredible composition for a 14 year old. The opening movement, Allegro maestoso, demands considerable virtuosity from the pianist, something Clara could readily do. Following the dramatic orchestral opening the piano enters quite early. Lyrical themes play above a supportive orchestra. Intensity rises and then falls before the ending of this movement.

In the slow, second movement, a beautiful and lyrical Romanze reminiscent of a nocturne, the piano solo is joined by a cello in a duet. As this comes to an end a soft tympani roll ushers in the final Allegro non troppo.

The final movement begins with a short trumpet announcement preceding the piano entry. A triple-time dance style, a polonaise, is played by the piano over the ever supportive orchestra. The virtuosic ending brought thrilled audiences to their feet. The three movements are performed essentially without breaks.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

Symphony No. 5 in C minor, op. 67 Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) Although Beethoven is said to have chosen his Third Symphony, the “Eroica,” as his favorite, (the Ninth was not yet in existence) the Fifth Symphony in C minor is unquestionably his most popular. The music may have started fermenting in his mind as early as 1800. However he was composing several other major works during that time and the Fifth came to completion in 1808. It was first performed on December 22, 1808 at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien with the composer conducting.

In 1801, at age 30, Beethoven revealed for the first time the fact of his increasing deafness. He stated in a letter that he would “... seize Fate by the throat; it shall not bend or crush me completely.” Thus by the time audiences heard his intense and dramatic Fifth Symphony in 1808 the composer seemed to have accomplished that very thing. His music has the power to uplift and ennoble the human spirit—this gift, given to us by a man struggling against his own great adversities.

|

This four-movement work goes from the opening Sonata, to a lyrical Andante, followed by a fast Scherzo and it ends with a fiery Finale. The third and fourth movements are played with pause.

page 43

Perhaps the famous four-note passage —“short-short-short-long”— which opens the symphony is the most quoted theme in musical history. Beethoven himself said of these opening notes, “Thus Fate knocks at the door,” and at a later time in history (World War II) it was known as the V-for-Victory motif. Beethoven used this Fate motif as an opening, with the pattern appearing no less than forty-five times.

The theme is heard first in the horns and later it is passed between the strings and woodwinds. It clearly helps to unify the entire Symphony.

Sharon Decker “I hope I can guide a few more women down the path of recognizing it’s a tapestry we weave, not a perfect piece of cloth.” Born and raised in small towns near Charlotte, N.C., Sharon Decker’s history offers inspiration for women everywhere. She is a highly successful business executive who has effectively balanced her professional life with responsibilities of the home, service to the community and devotion to her faith. As the daughter of a minister, she learned early the value of spirituality as the grounding for other facets of life. She successfully applied that lesson as an adult business executive and in her latest venture, The Tapestry Group, where she seeks to share it with others. In addition to her work with Tapestry, Sharon is a mother of four and a commissioned lay pastor, graduating from the Presbytery of Western N.C. School for the Laity. She is also a board member for several non-profit organizations and Fortune 500 companies including Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated Inc., Family Dollar Stores Inc., SCANA, Herschend Family Entertainment Group and the Institute at Biltmore.

Pam Stone Springing from the womb of an English mother and sired by a German father, Pam Stone, inheriting the freakish height of European ancestry, and being raised in the rural south, had no option in life except to become a stand-up comic. “Plus,” she laments, “I have no marketable skills.”

In 1985, after beginning a career at The Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, Pam, “blissfully ignorant,” drove across country to make her move to Los Angeles, CA. Things began to happen quickly: in one year, she was writing for a game show and performing studio audience warm-up for sitcoms, and three years later found herself cast in the role of basketball coach “Judy Watkins” in the hit ABC series “Coach,” starring Craig T Nelson and Jerry Van Dyke. It was too many earthquakes, fires, and riots that lead Pam and Paul to make the bold move back to the Southeast in 2000 to a farm Pam had purchased in 1993. “It was everything I’d dreamed of as a kid,” she explains.”Rural, modest, and sprawling. You can walk around the place naked — which explains why UPS refuses to deliver here, anymore.”

Fayssoux McLean

Brandon’s interest in music can be traced back to the very beginning: “From the time I was born some of my first memories are of having a house full of folks playing music. My Dad played drums, so a drumset stayed set up in the living room of my house. People would be coming in and out and stoping by to play a few songs. I remember trying to play guitar at about 4 or 5 years old. I got my first electric guitar when I was 9 and from there I guess the story goes ...”

2010-2011 season

Brandon Turner, an acoustic/electric guitarist in demand for studio work as well as performance, is in several bands and has worked with Fayssoux for 10 years. Most recently he played on the floor of the State House with his bandmate Freddie Vanderford who was there to receive the 2010 SC Folk Heritage Award. Brandon has been called a “guitar wizard,” and Fayssoux refers to him as “the heavy artillery.” An intuitive musician who can interpret songs as well as embellish them with scorching guitar leads, he is always in extreme demand.

You’ve heard Fayssoux McLean, even if you haven’t heard of her. Fayssoux’s beguiling voice was an integral element in some of the finest country music recordings of our time. Fayssoux sang harmonies all over Emmylou Harris’ legendary early recordings, “Luxury Liner,” “Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town,” “Elite Hotel,” and “Pieces of the Sky,” and she sang duets with Emmylou on “Spanish is a Loving Tongue” and Green Rolling Hills.” Given that Emmylou Harris is herself the single greatest and most consequential harmony vocalist in country music history, Fayssoux’s role as Emmylou’s harmony singer of choice should tell you nearly all you need to know. Fayssoux finally lets the world hear her stunning lead voice on her debut recording, “Early.” She called old friends Emmylou Harris and the Whites to sing harmony with her, as well as Ricky Skaggs to play mandolin. She asked Spartanburg native David Ball to play Walter Hyatt’s bass, and sing harmony as well. She brought heavy duty Spartanburg guitarist Brandon Turner with her who plays on nearly every track and holds his own with the most seasoned Nashville veterans.

American Rhapsody, Final Movement Ernest Bloch (1880-1959)

2010-2011 season

page 50

Ernest Bloch was born in Geneva and studied violin and composition in several important cultural centers in Europe before coming to America in 1916. Europe at that time was in the midst of WWI and Bloch was so pleased to be in this country that he described it as “like being in another planet.” While here Bloch held several teaching positions including Musical Director of the newly formed Cleveland Institute of Music and Director of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where the composer, Roger Sessions, was among his outstanding students.

In 1924 Bloch received his American citizenship and wrote a symphony to honor the country. His desire was to fill the composition with popular songs, “Indian songs, southern songs, The Old Folks at Home, Hail Columbia” ... ” The work is in three parts covering the history of this country from 1620 to 1926— the date of the music’s creation. The first section entitled “1620” includes depictions of The Soil, The Indians, England, The Mayflower, and Landing of the Pilgrims.

The middle section, “1861-1865”, comprises Hours of Joy - Hours of Sorrow. And the final section, entitled “1926” has two sections, The Present and The Future.

This final movement, which includes elements of blues and ragtime and concludes with an Anthem which breaks into Pop Goes the Weasel or Yankee Doodle. The Anthem is written for four-part mixed choir and audience participation.

Bloch wrote on the title page, “This Symphony has been written in love for this country — in reverence to its past —in faith to its Future. It is dedicated to the memory of Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman whose vision has upheld its inspiration.” The American Symphony won the Musical America Prize in 1926 and was performed by five major orchestras in the US in December 1928.

Cuban Overture George Gershwin (1898-1937) In May of 1932 Geroge Gershwin’s father, Morris Gershwin, died and because of his sadness George cancelled a planned trip to Europe. Instead he took a brief vacation to Havana, Cuba. When word spread of the famous visitor in their country a rhumba band appeared under his window to serenade him with Cuban music.

Gershwin was fascinated by the rhythms and native percussion instruments and decided to compose with these elements in his own music. He completed this new work in just three weeks, calling it Rumba.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

2010-2011 season

As Gershwin writes his in own program notes for this composition, “I have endeavored to combine the Cuban rhythms with my own thematic material. The result is a symphonic ouverture which embodies the essence of the Cuban dance.”

Through this overture audiences can gain an impression of the big bustling world of Pre-Castro Cuba.

|

Gershwin worried that the first performance was not heard to its best advantage, fearing the open-air stadium lost some of the percussive effects and tone colors.

However the work was greeted favorably by critics.

page 51

It was introduced in New York, August 16 1932, at an all-Gershwin concert at Lewisohn Stadium where Albert Coates conducted the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. Gershwin brought some of the native instruments to New York and placed them in a row in front of the conductors stand: the Cuban stick, the bongo, the gourd and the maracas. The concert was a huge success. As Gershwin wrote: “It was, I really believe, the most exciting night I have ever had ... 17,845 people paid to get in and just about 5,000 were at the closed gates trying to fight their way in, unsuccessfully.”

The Search for Stephanie Thayn, Overture David Berry

2010-2011 season

|

page 56

Converse professor, Dr. David Berry, started his musical life at a young age playing French horn in junior high school. His career as a musician took him into the world of rock, computerized music, musical aesthetics and the field of fine art music. As well as a composer he is a conductor, recording engineer, and a BMI-affiliated publisher. He has spent 14 years touring professionally and recording with the band, Anthem.

Dr. Berry received his Bachelor of Music in horn performance from the University of Maryland, a Master of Music in composition from Converse College, and a Doctor of Musical Arts in composition from the University of South Carolina. He is currently a Professor of Music History, Theory and Composition at Converse College.

At age nine, young David “fell in love” with Stephanie Thayn, a girl aged ten.

Chances are she didn’t even know of his feelings for her. But when a chance came to return to his old home city, Cheverly, MD, in 1989 David decided to see if he could find Stephanie or learn of her whereabouts.

His old house and that of Stephanie’s looked about the same. The city blocks hadn’t changed much. A knock on Stephanie’s door and a conversation with the present owner led to further searching. Some of these thoughts, subsequent events, and daydreams led to Act Three of Berry’s trilogy: 3 American Yarns (three one-act theater pieces) with music by David Berry and lyrics by Gary Poole.

Tonight’s program brings the premiere of Berry’s Overture to Stephanie Thayn. It pays homage to opera overtures by Rossini and Berlioz. Composed in a Modern Romantic style, “it is unabashedly tuneful and tonal.” Like Rossini, it has a slow introduction and a fast sonata form without a development section.

Four primary themes are heard: The first, an introduction by pizzicato strings and a fast string melody, are derived from an old original rock song melody. This is followed by theme two, a new theme in the horn. The third theme in the strings is taken from the middle section of an aria within the opera. The closing theme, introduced by solo brasses, is derived from another old original rock song. This final theme brings the work to a dramatic conclusion with a “Rossini Crescendo”—an instrumental build up of sound as more and more instruments are added to the mix.

Rococo Variations, op. 33 Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)

2010-2011 season

|

page 58

Tchaikovsky is most noted for his works of melodic richness and orchestrations as heard in his classical ballet music, symphonies, suites and serenades. The Rococo Variations was his only full concerto for cello and orchestra. Written between December 1876 and March 1877 with the help of German cellist and fellow professor at the Moscow Conservatory, Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, this work is composed of a theme and seven variations. (Tchaikovsky’s original version contained eight variations.)

The underlying theme contains Tchaikovsky’s gracious melodic style. Then the challenge of altering the theme in each variation is met with great craftsmanship.

Tchaikovsky admired Mozart greatly. His intention is this music was to echo the style of the late Baroque/early Classical period, and its association with highly decorative elements.

Tchaikovsky asked Fitzenhagen to go through the Variations and make suggestions.

The cellist apparently was very energetic in doing that very thing. He enhanced the cello role greatly, rearranged the order of the variations, and even deleted the composer’s eighth variation. In some sections he did this to “cello-ize” the music and bring a “stormy applause” from audiences.

Following the introductory theme, which is repeated six times in the opening, we hear a lively, graceful variation I. This is followed by a conversation between orchestra and soloist in Var. II. A change of key and tempo in Var. III bring us to a return to the original key in Var. IV. The fifth variation ends with a first and second cadenza. Number six is melancholy and then after a brief pause, the soloist flies into the most difficult, Var. VII. It is said that in one of his occasional fits of insecurity about his work Tchaikovsky allowed the changes to stand. When asked by one of Fitzenhagen’s students if he would restore his original idea to the piece Tchaikovsky replied, “Oh the hell with it! Let it stay the way it is.”

The original manuscript has since been subjected to X-ray experiments, revealing that Tchaikovsky’s hand-written text was inked over. Since then the original version was finally published and has since been recorded. However, even today the Fitzenhagen version is what audiences hear.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

Symphony No. 2 in C major, op. 61 Robert Schumann (1810-1856) In 1845 Robert Schumann wrote to his friend and colleague, Felix Mendelssohn: “For several days, there has been much trumpeting and drumming within me. I don’t know what will come of it.” Indeed—what came of it was his Symphony in C Major, published as his Second Symphony in 1846.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

2010-2011 season

We hear echoes of Bach in the introduction where a slow brass chorale serves as a prelude. Then the first movement becomes dramatic and turbulent. The vivacious Scherzo is followed by a passionate, melancholy Adagio while the Finale brings back themes from the preceding movements. It contains a vigorous hymn of triumph. Schumann wrote, “In the Finale I first began to feel like myself again; and indeed, I was much better after I had completed the work.”

|

Despite the composer’s worries that audiences would notice some elements of what he called the “black period,” during which he wrote this symphony, there is very little sense of melancholy in the music. Critics soon began to make comparisons of Schumann’s Second to Mozart’s Jupiter and Beethoven’s Fifth.

page 59

This work had a difficult birth. Schumann was not well, either physically or mentally.

Today it’s felt he had bipolar disease consisting of spells of depression, during which he wrote little, alternating with happy, productive times. In a letter to D. G. Otten, founder of the Hamburg Musical Association, the composer said, “I wrote the C major Symphony in December l845 while I was still half sick, and it seems to me that one can hear this in the music. ...” However, with much encouragement from Felix Mendelssohn the composition was completed and Mendelssohn led the premiere with the Liepzig Gewandhaus Orchestra on November 5, 1846. A few revisions were added by Schumann and the second performance was give two weeks later.

Atonement Suite Dario Marianelli (1963-)

2010-2011 season

|

page 64

Sometimes a story seems to dictate its own music. That would be the sentiment of Dario Marianelli when speaking of his film music for the movie Atonement. This film, an adaptation of the novel of Ian McEwan, is based on a screenplay by Christopher Hampton. As the composer stated, “I knew that Atonement needed two distinct musical themes: the restlessness of Briony, who just can’t stop until she’s wrecked everyone’s lives, and the intense love story between Cecilia and Robbie.” ... “The fictitious and the real — war, love, aspiration and destruction — all meet and affect the other in this beautiful tragedy, almost as musical themes would in a classical symphony. The story itself was so musical that it allowed the score a chance to appear only where necessary, and join its voice to the others in telling of this sad tale.”

Italian-born, London-based composer and pianist Marianelli has received numerous awards for his orchestral and film music. His music featured in Atonement won Best Original Score at the 80th Academy Awards on January 22, 2008 as well as a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Drama, Best Original Score. Other awardwinning music by Marianelli is heard in the films The Soloist and Pride & Prejudice.

Throughout the music of Atonement Marianelli shows great creativity by use of the percussive sound of a 1930s typewriter on which Briony hammers away. Beautiful love themes produced through the rich and romantic music of strings and piano, give the mood of the wartime period and of the ill-fated lovers. Individual pieces from the film score used in the suite include: “Briony”: The opening typewriter percussion is followed by rushing strings and the lonely piano theme, which represent the teenage girl who accuses her sister’s lover of a crime he didn’t commit. ”Robbie’s Note”: romantic sounds come from the clarinet playing over flowing strings and piano.

“Half Killed”: a slow somber tone of strings is supported by drums and brasses.

“Elegy for Dunkirk”: atmospheric, with the lush low tones of the cello and strings.

A background hymn, “Dear Lord and Master of Mankind,” sung by a male chorus swells and diminishes, before the music returns to the haunting, slow theme.

“Cottage on the Beach”: slow, romantic music, played by the keyboard and strings.

And finally, “Atonement” concludes the suite in a sad, pensive mood.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

Clair de Lune Claude Debussy (1862-1918) Claude Debussy was a rule breaker. As a student in the Paris Conservatory—which he entered at age eleven—he exasperated his teachers by breaking all of the rules of musical harmony: unresolved ninths and seventh chords, parallel fifths and counterpoint in parallel motion. None the less, he won the Prix de Rome while at the Conservatory. If the established rules of music didn’t influence Debussy, the work of Symbolist poets, impressionistic painters and some avant garde musicians of his day did. His strong interest in literature and the visual arts helped shape his musical style.

Program Notes by Joella Utley

2010-2011 season

Along with Ravel, Debussy became one of the most significant generative forces in twentieth-century impressionistic music. His music was influential to such major composers as Stravinsky, Messiaen, Bartok, Boulez, Steve Reich and Philip Glass.

He also influenced many prominent jazz artist including George Gershwin, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and others. As well, he had a profound impact on contemporary film music composers such as John Williams.

|

In 1890 Debussy composed a suite of four pieces for piano, Suite bergamasque, which contains the movement Clair de Lune, (Moonlight). He revised the score just before its publication in 1905. Guido M. Gatti said of this piece; “What an airy flowering of arpeggios ... leap up again like a fountain jet which scatters its waters on the air then relapses into calm again ... undulations on which the theme spreads out, ample, sonorous, expressive.”

page 65

Although he did not like the term “impressionistic” applied to his music, it’s quite understandable that works given the titles of “Clouds,” “Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,” and “Footsteps in the Snow,” would lead a listener to gain an impression of these subjects. His music evokes images, moods, color, shadows and sensations.

Pride & Prejudice Suite Dario Marianelli (1963-) Jane Austen’s second novel, Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, presents the story’s main character, Elizabeth Bennet, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, moral rightness, education and marriage in her aristocratic society of early 19th century England. Over the two centuries since its publication the story continues to fascinate readers and is on top lists of ‘most loved books.’ This historic English melodrama has been adapted to film, television, and stage performances.

2010-2011 season

Program Notes by Joella Utley

|

Marianelli received several awards for his film music for Pride and Prejudice, including nomination for an Oscar in the category of Best Original Score in 2006.

This breakthrough work cast the composer into international renown.

page 67

Dario Marianelli’s film music for Pride and Prejudice is elegant and passionate.

Listen for the beautiful main theme as well as the secondary theme, which is first introduced the piece “Georgiana.” This entire work brings to mind scenes of rolling English hills and hedgerows. There is drama, tragedy, longing, and a return to happier times as the last piece sums up.

Le tombeau de Couperin Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) While Claude Debussy may have turned his back on many composers of the past, Maurice Ravel embraced musical styles of earlier periods, albeit in an impressionistic/neoclassical manner.

2010-2011 season

|

page 68

In 1914 Ravel began work on a programmatic piano suite describing how it may have felt to visit the tomb of Francois Couperin (1668-1733), the famed French composer, harpsichordist and organist. Tombeau is actually a musical term popular in the 17th century meaning “a piece written as a memorial.” Ravel initially intended this as a way to pay homage to Baroque French keyboard music.

With the outbreak of World War I the composer felt great patriotism and wanted to enlist in the military. He had previously been exempted from service when he was 20 because of his general physical weakness. Now, in 1915, at age 39 he managed to enlist in an artillery unit as a truck and ambulance driver where he served on the front line under extremely dangerous conditions. During the war years he lost several personal friends on the battle field.

Upon returning to his home he took up the unfinished suite, Le tombeau de Couperin, and completed the six movements, inscribing each dance arrangement to the memory of one of his lost friends. Tombeau has been described as one of Ravel’s most personal creations, as well as the nearest he came to producing a “nationalist” or patriotic statement in his music. The four orchestrated movements are: Prelude. “To the memory of Lieutenant Jacques Charlot” (who transcribed Ravel’s four-hand piece Ma Mere l’Oye for solo piano).

Forlane. “To the memory of Lieutenant Gabriel Deluc” (a Basque painter from Saint-Jean-de-Luz).

Menuet. “To the memory of Jean Dreyfus” (at whose home Ravel recuperated after he was demobilized).

Rigaudon. “To the memory of Pierre and Pascal Gaudin” (brothers killed by the same shell).

The Jerrie Lucktenberg Concertmaster Chair Endowment Dr. Jerrie Lucktenberg, Concertmaster of The Greater Spartanburg Philharmonic, artist, pedagogue & author retired from her position during The Music Foundation’s 2002-2003 season.

To help ensure the presentation of Spartanburg’s professional orchestra in our community, Dr. Lucktenberg made a generous gift of $50,000 towards the endowment of the concertmaster chair. With your help, The Music Foundation’s goal is to match this gift to fully endow the chair as the Jerrie Lucktenberg Concertmaster Chair.

Members of The Henry Janiec Society have established permanently endowed chairs in The Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra with a gift of $25,000 or more. These chairs & funds help guarantee the future of the Philharmonic.

|

The Henry Janiec Society was established in 2001 to honor the distinguished Dr. Henry Janiec. A conductor, educator & pianist, Dr. Janiec conducted the Spartanburg Symphony Orchestra from 1952 to 1995 & served as Dean of the Converse College School of Music from 1967 to 1994. He also served as Director of the Brevard Music Center from 1964 to 1996.

page 83

Dr. Lucktenberg gave her musical talents to our community for 29 years & served over 23 years as the concertmaster for the Spartanburg Symphony Orchestra, the predecessor to the Greater Spartanburg Philharmonic. With the generous contribution of Dr. Lucktenberg & her commitment to our musical community, we hope you will be inspired to join her lead. We ask you to consider making your contribution to the permanent endowment of the concertmaster chair in Dr. Lucktenberg’s name.

The Joe Roy Utley Legacy Society THE JOE ROY UTLEY LEGACY SOCIETY Recently, a number of our benefactors asked how they could support the future financial well being of our organization. We have created the Joe Roy Utley Legacy Society to provide a fund through which friends can make bequests. Your participation in the Society will provide support of live performance music into the future, beyond our lifetimes.

A bequest may be made in a number of different ways. The easiest method is an instruction in your will to leave a specific dollar amount to The Music Foundation of Spartanburg. If you have an existing will, it is a simple matter to add a codicil giving the direction to make a gift from your estate to the Society.

In addition to a bequest through your will, gifts may also be made by giving appreciated securities or other assets, by way of charitable trusts, through gifts of life insurance, or by gifts of retirement account assets. If you would like more information, please call The Music Foundation of Spartanburg office at 948-9020. Should you have a specific question regarding which alternative would best fit your personal situation, feel free to call our board member, Beau Shuler, who is a Certified Financial Planner. He may be reached by calling Wealth Management Associates, at 591-1099.

My wife and I feel very fortunate to have been able to enjoy the professional performances of our Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra.

Our participation in the Legacy Program will enable the Spartanburg Philharmonic WILL Orchestra to continue contributing to the strengths of the Spartanburg community long after our demise. We hope many of you will consider joining us in this endeavor, which we feel will enrich the lives of others.

Jack and Libby Steinberg

Joe Utley, who played the trumpet expertly in the Spartanburg Philharmonic while simultaneously heading the cardiovascular surgery department at Spartanburg Regional, excitedly pulled me aside one day: “Jim,” he said, “I think we’re going to be able to make the orchestra a professional one!” He was then president of the Music Foundation and, in 1994, it came to pass under his tenure and direction.

Music Foundation

Joe was a gifted cardiovascular surgeon, a fine musician, and a man with a vision. I am certain that he would be mightily pleased to know that the Music Foundation Legacy Society is being named in his honor.
