PROGRAM NOTES
Beethoven's Legacy Expect the Unexpected: That’s our slogan for the year, and we continue to mix things up and break habits. This afternoon closes out our six-concert celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827). But instead of doing so with one of his beloved blockbusters (like the Seventh Symphony, which opened our season), we’ve chosen a piece you may not know: the so-called Triple Concerto, composed around 1804. Like so many of Beethoven’s works, it defies conventions. But it does so in a genial way—surprisingly genial, given that it was composed shortly after he learned that he was going deaf. No earth-shattering gestures here—nothing like the vast span and dramatic outbursts of the Eroica Symphony, which was written at about the same time. Rather, what’s experimental here is the choice of a piano trio (piano, violin, and cello) as the “solo” instrument. The result is not a modernized version of the baroque concerto grosso nor even a reboot of the “sinfonia concertante” tradition (represented by Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola, and Orchestra, performed at our last in-person Casual before the Covid shutdown). Rather, the Triple is a work that straddles the border between chamber music and concerto in a way that wasn’t seriously taken up again until the twentieth century. The result is less a heroic striving of soloist against orchestra (as we find, say, in Rachmaninoff) than a conversational interchange on two levels: within the group and between the group and the orchestra. Something else is unusual here. Given Beethoven’s skills as a pianist, you’d expect that the piano would take the lead, as it does in so many of his trios. In fact, the keyboard part is relatively simple. Was it written for Archduke Rudolph—who became a long-time student and supporter of the composer, but was still a teenager at the time? Perhaps; but in any case, as principal cellist Heidi Hoffman puts it, “The piano is accompanimental almost all the time.” Instead, the lead is taken by the cello. And that role is difficult: “It’s one of the hardest things written for the instrument,” with much of it placed in a “super-high register. It’s not like anything he’d written for cello before.” In fact, it’s harder than any of the Cello Sonatas.
familiar symphony by Franz Schubert, the Symphony No. 8 in B Minor (“Unfinished”). New Covid restrictions made a work of that size impossible, so instead, we’ll be offering the St. Paul’s Suite by Gustav Holst (1874–1934). It was composed in 1913, just a year before Holst’s most popular work, The Planets— and on first glance, it would be hard to imagine anything more different. Written for the string orchestra at St. Paul’s School where Holst taught, it’s as intimate in scale as The Planets is vast, as compressed as The Planets is effusive; and because of its folk-music roots (both in its general spirit and its quotation of specific songs) and its grounding in dance, it’s as earthy as The Planets is extra-terrestrial. And yet there are connections as well. If you have an aural image in your mind when you think of The Planets, chances are that you’re thinking of the brutal rhythmic pattern incessantly repeated in the first movement (“Mars”). Although there’s nothing brutal in the sunny St. Paul’s Suite, you’ll find similar kinds of repeated patterns—called ostinatos—throughout. You’ll hear the technique most obviously in the second movement (appropriately called “Ostinato”), where the second violins play the same figure over and over, with imaginative metrical displacements—only ceasing for a brief eight bars when the first violins try, unsuccessfully, to wrest it from them. Obsession is found in the last movement, adapted from the finale of Holst’s Second Suite for Band. This movement is based on a sixteenth-century folk tune “The Dargason”— what’s known as a circular tune, since it doesn’t really end, leading back instead to its beginning. With elaborations and musical commentary, it underpins the entire movement. But here, too, you should Expect the Unexpected: “underpins” turns out to be a key term, for about a minute into the movement, almost out of nowhere, “Greensleeves” emerges in the cellos. In a brilliant mirror trick, “The Dargason” turns from main material into accompaniment.
To put it more bluntly, it’s a terrifying piece for any cellist. So how did Heidi assuage her fears? The answer goes back to the strange hybrid form of piece. This is a work for trio, and she’s playing it with two colleagues with whom she’s been giving trio concerts, as the Finger Lakes Trio, for years. This helps in several ways. First, as violinist Sonya Stith Williams says, “you’re not the only one up there doing it. And we’ve played enough together so that we trust each other.” Intonation is easier with a group, too—and if it’s a group you’re familiar with, interpretation is easier as well, because, as pianist Rob Auler says, you don’t have to verbalize every decision: “We communicate with our ears more than our mouths.” Add to this the pleasures of playing with their own orchestra (they know what to expect from their orchestral colleagues) and those terrors have been replaced by an opportunity not to be missed—either by the performers or by the audience.
There’s more here, too. “Greensleeves” is in a different meter, and superimposing it on “The Dargason” is the musical equivalent, according to this afternoon’s conductor Sean O’Loughlin, of “patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time.” Sean O’Loughlin? Like so much about this season, Sean’s presence this afternoon might be unexpected, too. He’s familiar, of course, as Symphoria’s principal pops conductor—but this is his first appearance on a “classical” concert, and he shows up with surprising repertoire. You might imagine him leading a concert of film music or of composers like Gershwin and Kurt Weill who danced along the fine line between classical and more popular music—but Beethoven and Holst? In fact, though, Sean is solidly trained in the classical tradition, too. He studied at the New England Conservatory after he graduated from Syracuse University, and the canonical classic standards were part of the “fabric” of his education. Then, too, he points out, Holst was a tremendous influence on film music (where would Star Wars be without The Planets?); and, on a more personal level, he says, “The Dargason” in the finale “works well with the apostrophe in my last name.”

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF MUSIC? Symphoria Spotlight In memory of Cissie Fairchilds Cissie Fairchilds loved our orchestra. A retired history professor at Syracuse University, Cissy attended faithfully and donated modest gifts loyally for many years. In Spring 2020, Symphoria learned that we would benefit from an incredible gift from Cissy’s estate. The timing and the amount of her gift has made it possible for Symphoria to keep planning and dreaming during the many obstacles our community has faced since March. We are grateful to Cissie and to everyone who has remembered Symphoria in their estate planning. Our one regret is that we didn’t know of Cissie’s plans! If we had, we could have all celebrated her incredible contribution while Cissie was in the audience, sharing the magic with all of her Symphoria family. If Symphoria is in your plans, please let us know so that we can thank you today for the music you bring to life tomorrow.
