Der Stürm (The Storm), Hob 24a:8

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN

Austrian composer Joseph Haydn, born in 1732 began his musical training at age eight as a chorister at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Vienna, where he also studied violin and keyboard. When his voice changed and necessitated leaving the choir, he lived humbly, teaching and playing violin, all the while rigorously studying counterpoint and harmony in his spare time.

In 1761, after a number of lean years, he landed his career position when appointed Kapellmeister (music director) for the Esterházy Palace. Given the remoteness of the Esterházy estate, he was artistically isolated, but the position offered stability and resources. Haydn felt free to experiment with his music resulting in a prolific and original body of work. He gained an international reputation as perhaps the greatest living composer with works in most genres of the time, and balanced wit, seriousness, and innovation while keeping with traditional norms. So revered was he by fellow musicians, he was addressed as “Papa Haydn.”

As a primary influencer of the Classical style, he inspired his friend Mozart, as well as his student Beethoven and countless others. When his employer, Prince Nicholas, who was a music lover, died in September 1790 his successor, Prince Anton, promptly dismissed the entire court orchestra at Esterházy except for a few church musicians. This hastened the end of Haydn’s services there, and even though the new prince theoretically held the right to Haydn’s services, Haydn saw no need to remain at the castle, so he took his pension and moved to Vienna.

Once it was known Haydn was a “free-agent,” impresario Johann Salomon visited him in Vienna announcing, “My name is Salomon,” and “I have come from London to fetch you: we will settle terms tomorrow.” Salomon sent notices of the engagement and arrival of his “distinguished guest” to the Morning Chronicle on December 30, 1791. This was the first of two successful trips to London where he was revered and received “rock star” treatment, both financially and personally.

The music scene in London was predominantly social and the series of “Professional Concerts” arranged by Salomon were hugely successful. Haydn’s time in London is best remembered for his works referred to as his “London Symphonies,” but in February and March of 1792 he debuted two different and unique works in London. Two references can be found describing one of these works, The Storm

“…The new Chorus and Quartetto of Haydn is the first attempt of that great master on English words, and he has succeeded admirably in representative harmony – his storm and calm being wonderfully expressed in the composition he has adapted…”

(The Morning Herald)

“… a new piece entitled The Storm, composed also by Haydn. This piece is an exquisite specimen of imitative harmony, adapted to English words; the horrors of a tempest, contrasted with the gradual serenity of a calm, were finely represented, and highly admired…”

(Woodfall Diary)

Haydn himself described The Storm as a madrigal, and the compositional form consisting of slow anthem-like sections of calm – storm – calm – storm, fulfilled the 18th century English idea of a madrigal. This wonderful composition for 4-part chorus and orchestra was instantly taken to heart by Londoners. This work is now rather obscure to modern-day concert attenders and we take pride in introducing you to this short musical masterpiece.

Hiob (Job): Kantate für Soli, Chor und Orchestra

FANNY MENDELSSOHN HENSEL

Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, the older sister of Felix Mendelssohn, is described in biographies of her brother as a very enthusiastic and gifted musician, and an especially virtuosic pianist.

“The first notice about her is a letter, written by Abraham {her father}, to his mother-in-law the day after Fanny’s birth, reporting … her daughter’s maternal observation … their daughter had ‘Bach fugal fingers’.”

Dr. Larry Todd

Fanny’s compositional work, encouraged by her brother and father, centered on lieder and piano music. Sadly, it was not considered appropriate for a woman of her social class to pursue a musical career. She was expected to “devote herself to domesticity and childrearing, pursuing creative work as a strictly limited hobby, if at all.”

Over the course of her life, Fanny composed about 450 works, many of which are presumed to be lost. Felix and Fanny had a wonderfully close sibling relationship even though there was a bit of healthy rivalry. He felt so strongly about the quality of her music that he published many of her songs under his name since social conventions prevented them from being attributed to her. It was not until a later visit to London that Felix revealed them to be the work of Fanny.

At age 26, Fanny began composing larger works for chorus and orchestra. While there is an abundance of commentary about her songs and piano pieces, little has been written about her choral orchestral work. The cantata Hiob (Job), a work of considerable difficulty based on a text from the Old Testament book of Job, demonstrates her substantial compositional skill and ability to use chromaticism as harmonic expression. Two elaborate choruses are surrounded by a recitative-like second movement. In a subtle display of freedom and independence, Fanny masterfully scored this work for wind and string instruments that were considered unacceptable for women to play. The score and other performance materials became available only recently, which makes this and other works by Fanny Hensel essentially unknown to the musical world.

At the time of this composition, all of Europe was in the grip of a deadly cholera epidemic. Given the difficult times our society has faced in recent years, it seemed only appropriate to select this work by Fanny Hensel as it was written under similar circumstances. We hope you enjoy this introduction to the “other Mendelssohn.”

Mass No. 1 in B-flat Major, Opus 77

JOHANN NEPOMUK HUMMEL

Johann Nepomuk Hummel became Konzertmeister (director of music) to the Esterházys in 1804 on the recommendation of Joseph Haydn, who was still the official Kappellmeister at the palace though now living in Vienna. Hummel, only 26, already had a substantial career behind him. His family had moved to Vienna from Pressburg when he was a boy and was soon studying with Mozart. At 10 years of age, on the advice of Mozart, Johann and his father began a grand concert tour of Europe and during the 4-year journey Johann earned a reputation as a phenomenal prodigy. Upon returning to Vienna, Hummel retired from a heavy performance schedule to focus on his compositional studies with Albrechtsberger (Beethoven’s teacher) and Salieri. Even though Hummel and Beethoven were friends, their respective devotees encouraged competition due to their different pianistic styles resulting in an on and off friendship. Eventually Beethoven’s daunting talent overwhelmed Hummel who decided to trade independence for the security of the Esterházy palace. Their friendship was obviously reconciled as Hummel rushed to be with Beethoven on his deathbed and served as a pallbearer at his funeral.

The Kapellmeister position demanded enormous energy requiring Hummel to compose operas, instrumental and sacred works in addition to conducting, playing, and teaching. After Prince Nikolaus released him, Hummel returned to Vienna where he began one of Europe’s most storied musical careers earning a reputation at that time as one of the world’s greatest pianist and prominent composer. Even though a living legend by 1817 he was concerned about supporting his family and took positions as Kapellmeister to the King of Württemburg and then with the Grand Duke of Weimar. Even with a respected career the public began to prefer the new virtuosity represented by Schumann, Chopin, and Liszt instead of Hummel’s “classical” elegance. But at his death in 1837 at Weimar, he was extolled as the last great “Viennese.”

The momentum of Romanticism quickly obscured Hummel’s piano music, but his sacred choral works were well regarded and became core repertoire for the growing choral movement. The Mass in B-flat, displaying Hummel’s mastery of evolving polyphony with appealing tunefulness, was performed in 1810 after a year of chaos due to the invasion of Austria by Napolean’s army and marked the end of the traditional musical life at the Esterházy Court as Hummel’s position was not filled when he left and musical life there went into rapid decline. At a performance in the Esterházy Eisenstadt chapel of both Beethoven’s Mass in C, characterized by unpredictability and striking drama, and Hummel’s Mass in B-flat displaying elegant melody, Prince Nikolaus said “My dear Beethoven, what is it you have done now?” Beethoven perceived this comment as an insult and along with Hummel laughing loudly the furious Beethoven left the palace resulting in another brief rift in their friendship.

“The relative modesty of Hummel’s Mass in B-flat does not belie its superb power and quality. Although unpretentious in its sentiments, the Mass embodies with great force and variety the shadings of the sacred texts within a melodious idiom better known to us through Schubert. In setting the Credo and Gloria, whose very length was the downfall of many composers, Hummel differentiates the sections with a wealth of inflections, giving it a large shape through his fine sense of pacing. Melodic material is varied with fascinating resources of harmony and voicing; episodes of masterful counterpoint give the Mass both variety of textures and nobility of tone, while never detracting from its song-like clarity.”

Joel Sachs

While Beethoven is the composer most credited with taking classicism to romanticism, it bears mentioning that Hummel was also a significant contributor to this musical evolution.

Selections from The Creation J. HAYDN

While The Storm was written during Haydn’s first visit to London, during his second visit he was given a text on The Creation prepared by Thomas Liney, from the Bible’s Book of Genesis and Milton’s Paradise Lost. Haydn began work on it immediately and upon his return to Vienna, he turned the text over to Baron Gottfried van Sweiden who collaborated with Haydn as the librettist.

This evening’s program features three of the most revered movements from what many people believe is Haydn’s most important work. The soprano aria “Nun beaut die Fleur das Frische Grün” ornately celebrates the creation of plants while the bass recitative “Gleich öffnet sich der Erde Schoß” demonstrates Haydn’s sense of humor as he tonepaints the creation of various animals and is followed by the aria “Nun scheidt in vollem glanze der Himmel” which extols the creation of man as heaven’s greatest glory.

Tonight’s final chorus alludes to Haydn’s curiosity about astronomy along with Sir Isaac Newton’s theories of an orderly universe which Haydn believed testified to God’s divine wisdom.

Der Stürm (The Storm), Hob 24a:8 FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN

Hört!

Die Winde furchtbar heulen! Tief im finstern Abgrund tobt der Höllen Geist, Der Donner rollt und kracht und mehrt die Angst.

Yon Wolke flieht zu Wolk’ erschreckt der Mond, Jetzt verlischend und dann blitzend, und dann blitzend durch die Luft.

Weh’las!

O sanfte Ruh’, o komm doch wieder

From The Creation J. HAYDN

s oprano aria :

Hark! The wild uproar of the winds!

Hell’s genius roams the regions of the dark, And thund’ring swells the horrors of the main.

From cloud to cloud the moon the moon affrighted flies, no darken’d and now flashing, And now flashing through the skies.

Alas!

Bless’d calm, return again!

“Nun beut die Fleur das Frische Grün” (With verdure clad the fields appear)

Nun beut die Flur das frische Grün Dem Auge zur Ergötzung dar.

Den anmutsvollen Blick Erhöht der Blumen sanfter Schmuck. Hier duften Kräuter Balsam aus, Hier sproßt den Wunden Heil.

Die Zweige krümmt der goldnen Früchte Last; hier wölbt der Hain zum kühlen Schirme sich, die steilen Berg bekrönt ein dichter Wald.

B ass recit and aria :

With verdure clad the fields appear, delightful to the ravish’d sense; by flowers sweet and gay enhanced is the charming sight. Here vent their fumes the fragrant herbs; here shoots the healing plant.

By loads of fruit th’ expanded boughs are press’d; to shady vaults are bent the tufty groves; the mountain’s brow is crown’d with closed wood.

“Gleich öffnet sich der Erde Schoß” (Straight opening her fertile womb)

“Nun scheidt in vollem glanze der Himmel” (Now heav’n in fullest glory shown)

Das zackig’ Haupt erhebt der schnelle Hirsch.

Mit fliegender Mähne springt und wich’rt voll Mut und Kraft das edle Roß.

Auf grünen Matten weidet schon das Rind, in Herden abgeteilt.

Die Triften deckt, als wie gesät, Das wollenreiche, sanfte Schaf.

Wie Staub verbreitet sich in Schwarm und Wirbel das Heerder Insekten.

In langen Zügen kriecht am Boden das Gewürm.

Aria:

Nun scheidt in vollem Glanze der Himmel Nun prangt in ihrem Schmucke die Erde.

Die Luft erfüllt das leichte Gefieder, Das Wasser schwellt der Fische Gewimmel, Den Boden drückt der Tiere Last.

Doch war noch alles nicht vollbracht. Dem ganzen fehlte das Geschöpf, Das Gottes Werke dankbar sehn, Des Herren Güte preisen soll.

The nimble stag bears up his branching head.

With flying mane and fiery look, impatient neighs the sprightly steed. The cattle in herds already seeks his food on fields and meadows green. And o’er the ground, as plants, are spread the fleecy, meek and bleating flock.

Unnumber’d as the sands in whirl arose the hosts of insects.

In long dimension creeps with sinuous trace the worm.

Now heav’n in fullest glory shone; earth smiles in all her rich attire.

The room of air with fowl is fill’d; the water swell’d by shoals of fish; By heavy beasts the ground is trod. But all the work was not complete.

There wanted yet that wond’rous being, that grateful should God’s pow’r admire, With heart and voice his goodness praise.

Recit.

Gleicht öffnet sich der Erde Schoß und sie gebiert au Gottes Wort Geschöpfe jeder Art, in vollem Wuchs und obue Zahl.

Vor Freude büllend steht der Löwe da.

Hier schießt der gelenkige Tiger empor.

Strait opening her fertile womb, the earth obey’d the word, and teem’d creatures numberless, in perfect forms and fully grown.

Cheerful, roarig, stands the tawny lion. In sudden leaps the flexible tiger appears.

Warum verbirgest du dein Antlitz? Wilst du wider ein fliegent Blatt so eifrig sein? Und einen dürren Halm verfolgen, verfolgen. Warum verbirgest du dein Antlitz?

1. Chorus

What is a man, that Thou dost makes so much of him? And try it every hour? What is a man? You visit him daily and tempt Him every hour. What is a man?

2. Arioso

Why do you hide your face? Do you want to be a fly leaf so eager again? And pursue, pursue, a dry stalk. Why do you hide your face?

3. Chor

Leben und Wohltat hast du an mirgetan, Und dein Aufsehn bewahrt meinen Odem, und wiewohl du solches in Deinem Heren verbirgest, so weiß ich Doch, daß du desgedenkest.

TEXT AND TRANSLATION

Der Erlkönig , D. 328

Der Erlkönig

War reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?

Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind

Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm Er fasst ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht? Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?

O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, my King and my God: for unto thee will I make my prayer.

Den Erlenkönig mit Kron' und Schweif?

Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif

Du liebes Kind, komm geh mit mir Gar schöne Spiele spiel ich mit dir Manch bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand

Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand Mein Vater, mein Vater und hörest du nicht Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?

Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind

In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind Willst feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?

Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reim Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort Erlkönigs Töchter am düsteren Ort?

Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh es genau Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch ich Gewalt

Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt fasst er mich an Erlkönig hat mir ein Leid getan Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind Er hält in den Armen das ächzende Kind Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

The Erlking

Who rides so late through night and wind?

It is the father with his child

He probably has the boy in his arms He grips him securely, he keeps him warm My son, why are you hiding your face so anxious? Father, do not you see the Erlking?

The alder king with crown and tail?

My son, it's a streak of mist Dear child, come with me

I play nice games with you

There are some colorful flowers on the beach

My mother has many a golden robe My father, my father and don't you hear What Erlking quietly promises me?

Be quiet, stay calm, my child

The wind whispers in dry leaves

Fine boy, do you want to go with me?

My daughters shall wait for you beautifully My daughters lead the nightly rhyme And rock and dance and sing you in And rock and dance and sing you in My father, my father, and don't you see there

Erlking's daughters in the gloomy place?

My son, my son, I see it clearly The old willows seem so grey

I love you, your beautiful figure appeals to me And if you are not willing, I will use force

My father, my father, now he's touching me

Erlking has done me a pity

The father is horrified, he rides quickly He holds the groaning child in his arms Reaches the farm with difficulty

In his arms the child was dead.

Applauded by the Calgary Herald as “…talented, sensitive…brilliant,” JIJI is an adventurous artist known for her virtuosic performances that feature a diverse selection of music ranging from traditional and contemporary classical music to free improvisation, played on both acoustic and electric guitar. Her impeccable musicianship combined with compelling stage presence and fascinating repertoire earned the Korean guitarist First Prize at the 2016 Concert Artists Guild International Competition. Named by the Washington Post in its list of “composers and performers who sound like tomorrow,” JIJI performs her own compositions which incorporate electronic media and acoustic music. Her music is influenced by her regular activities as a DJ, where she highlights the electronic dance styles of happy hardcore and Berlin experimental electronica.

JIJI began her guitar studies at 9 years of age and has earned bachelor’s degrees from the Korea National University of Arts, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and the Curtis Institute of Music. After receiving her Master of Music degree from Yale School of Music, JIJI joined the faculty at the Arizona State University School of Music in 2018 and that same year presented a pre-concert recital before the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center.

A passionate advocate of new music, JIJI premiered the duo piece Talking Guitars by renowned composer, Paul Lansky, along with premiering works by numerous emerging composers. As a chamber musician, she performed with members of Eighth Blackbird, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Wild Up, and the Aizuri Quartet.

The Young at Heart Chorale is a volunteer singing group for those 55+ years young performing at local community centers.

The Bach to the Future initiative provides programs for students from pre-K to high school, including the FreshStARTS program which brings unique musical learning experiences into the classroom featuring the Bach Vocal Artists. The High School Honors Choral Festival invites local groups for workshops with collegiate choral directors from across the country, culminating in the annual selection of the Choir of Distinction.

Master Classes led by world-renowned visiting artists give students and patrons a unique insider’s perspective on the process of fine-tuning classical musical excellence.
