a note from the chair and the president

DEAR VALUED PATRONS, We are delighted to welcome you back to Symphony Center. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association has been anticipating this happy reunion for many, many months. Thank you for being among the first to rejoin us for live concerts since March of 2020. It is our great pleasure to again be able to share the magical performances of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra within these walls. The continuous artistic guidance of Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, the dedication of the Orchestra members, collaboration across the organization, and discussions with city and public health officials have made these concerts possible. A thoughtful and thorough planning process led to the creation of “Safe and Sound” measures adopted to welcome listeners back to Symphony Center this spring. Thank you for adhering to these guidelines designed to ensure that your cultural experience is also a healthy one. For the opening concert on May 27, we welcome healthcare workers from Rush University System for Health, whose partnership during the pandemic has allowed CSO musicians to safely rehearse and perform a wide variety of digital programs created for CSOtv during the 2020–21 season. We also thank leading epidemiologist Dr. Emily Landon for her invaluable expertise throughout the planning process. We all have missed that electricity that exists in Orchestra Hall when it is filled with eager listeners and the extraordinary music-making of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On behalf of the entire CSOA, please know how deeply moved we are by your presence for these auspicious concerts, and let us look forward to more in person musical experiences to come.

Fanfare for the Common Man composed 1942 f ir st performa nce March 12, 1943; Cincinnati, Ohio; Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Eugene Goossens conducting i nstr u mentatio n four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, percussion ap proximate perfo rman ce t i m e 3 minutes

In the first volume of his autobiography (Copland, 1900 through 1942, St. Martin’s/ Marek, 1984), the composer recounted the genesis of his popular Fanfare for the Common Man:

E

ugene Goossens, conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, had written to me at the end of August [1942] about an idea he wanted to put into action for the 1942–43 concert season. During World War I, he had asked British composers for a fanfare to begin each orchestral concert. It had been so successful that he thought to repeat the procedure in World War II with American composers. [Goossens’s additional requests inspired a total of ten fanfares from such other notable musicians as Creston, Cowell, Piston, Thomson, Milhaud, and Gould.] Goossens wrote: “It is my idea to make these fanfares stirring and significant contributions to the war effort, so that I suggest you give your fanfare a title, as for instance, ‘A Fanfare for Soldiers, or for Airmen or Sailors.’ I am asking this favor in a spirit of friendly comradeship, and I ask you to do it for the cause we all have at heart . . . .” As with Lincoln Portrait, I was gratified to participate in a patriotic activity. Goossens, a composer himself, suggested the instrumentation of brass and percussion and a length of about two minutes. He intended to open the concert season in October with my fanfare, so I had no time to lose. The challenge was to compose a traditional fanfare, direct and powerful, yet with a contemporary sound. . . . The music was not terribly difficult to compose, but working slowly as was my custom, I did not have the fanfare ready to send to Goossens until November. The piece has been Fanfare for the Common Man for so long that it is surprising to see on my sketches that other titles were considered: Fanfare for a Solemn Ceremony, for the Day of Victory, for Our Heroes, for the Rebirth of Lidice, for the Spirit of Democracy, for the Paratroops, for Four Freedoms. After I decided on Fanfare for the Common Man and sent the score to Goossens, I think he was rather puzzled by the title. He wrote, “Its title is as original as its music, and I think it is so telling that it deserves a special occasion for its performance. If it is agreeable to you, we will premiere it 14 March [sic] 1943 at income left to r i gh t: Aaron Copland. Music Division, Library of Congress tax time. . . .” [The income tax Gunther Schuller deadline was changed to April

after the war.] I was all for honoring the common man at income tax time. Since that occasion, Fanfare has been played by many and varied ensembles, ranging from the U.S. Air Force Band to the popular Emerson, Lake, and Palmer group. . . . I confess that I prefer Fanfare in the original version, and I later used it in the final movement of my Third Symphony.

Symphony for Brass and Percussion, Op. 16 composed 1949–50 f i rst p e rf o rm a n c e February 1950; Cincinnati, Ohio; Group A Brass Ensemble, Ernest Glover conducting (movements 1–3) 1951; New York City; Leon Barzin conducting (complete work) i n st ru m e n tat i o n four horns, six trumpets, three trombones, euphonium, two tubas, timpani, and percussion a p p roxi m at e p e rf o rm a n c e t i m e 18 minutes

Gunther Schuller led a musical career of almost dizzying diversity. The son of a German-born violinist in the New York Philharmonic, he studied theory, flute, and horn privately while attending the Saint Thomas Choir School in New York City. He proved to be a prodigy on the horn, and at the age of eighteen, he joined the New York City Ballet Orchestra. A year later, he was appointed principal horn of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. During his tenure in Cincinnati, he discovered the music of Duke Ellington and thereafter devoted much of his career to jazz; he performed and recorded with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and John Lewis, and became a leading authority on the subject. Schuller’s Early Jazz: Its Roots and Musical Development is one of the most important contributions to the field of historical jazz research; his monumental study titled The Swing Era: The Development of Jazz, 1930–1945 was published in 1989. From 1945 to 1959, Schuller was principal horn of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra. Though he had no conservatory training, he began composing around 1940. Among his first works was Concerto for Horn, which he premiered in Cincinnati in 1945. By the time he gave up performing in 1962, Schuller had completed some forty compositions. From 1950 to 1963, Schuller taught at the Manhattan School of Music and spent the following three years on the faculty of Yale University. He then moved to the New England Conservatory of Music, for which he served as president from 1967 to 1977. As a conductor and recording artist, he championed the works of underappreciated American composers such as Scott Joplin and John Knowles Paine and, in 1975, he founded the Margun Press to

issue previously unpublished American scores. He also prepared important editions of works by Ives, Joplin, Weill, and Hartmann. Schuller also was a broadcaster and produced a series of weekly radio programs on twentieth-century music for New York’s WBAI-FM. In 1973, he wrote and introduced six programs on contemporary music for PBS. A collection of his writings, Musings: The Musical Worlds of Gunther Schuller, was published in 1986. In 1997, Schuller published The Compleat Conductor, a survey of the history, philosophy, and art of conducting (as well as a frank commentary on the rise of celebrity conductors). In 2011, he saw the publication of the first volume of his autobiography, Gunther Schuller, A Life in Pursuit of Music and Beauty. Among Schuller’s many honors are eleven honorary degrees, membership in the National Institute of Arts and Letters and American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the William Schuman Prize of Columbia University, a MacArthur Foundation grant, a BMI Lifetime Achievement Award, the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Music (for his Of Reminiscences and Reflections), and the Gold Medal for Music from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. In 1970, he received the Ditson Conducting Award for “his unselfish championship of fellow composers.” He remained active as a conductor and composer until his death in June 2015. The Symphony for Brass and Percussion was completed in February 1950, with the first three movements written in late 1949. The premiere occurred in 1951 at a concert of the International Society of Contemporary Music in New York under the direction of Léon Barzin. The work received subsequent performances conducted by Dimitri Mitropoulos and Pierre Monteux, the former performing the work with the New York Philharmonic as well as at the Salzburg Festival. It also has served as the basis for a dance treatment by José Limon under the title The Traitor. The composer provided the following information as a preface to the score, published in 1959: The concept of the symphony is of four contrasting movements, each representing one aspect of brass characteristics. Unity is maintained by a line of increasing inner intensity (not loudness) that reaches its peak in the last movement. The introductory first movement is followed by a scherzo with passages requiring great agility and technical dexterity. The third movement, scored almost entirely for six muted trumpets, brings about a further intensification of expression. The precipitous outburst at the beginning of the last movement introduces a kind of cadenza in which a solo trumpet dominates. A short timpani roll provides a bridge to the finale proper, which is a kind of perpetuum mobile. Running through the entire movement are sixteenth-note figures passing from one instrument to another in an unbroken chain. Out of this chattering pattern emerges the climax of the movement, in which a chord consisting of all twelve notes of the chromatic scale is broken up in a sort of rhythmic atomization, each pitch being sounded on a different sixteenth of the measure.  to p to bot to m : Samuel Barber, 1938.

Barber’s Mutations from Bach of 1968 is an arrangement for brass of three settings of the somber old German chorale “Christe, du Lamm Gottes” (Christ, Thou Lamb of God). The work opens with a simple harmonization of the melody by Joachim Decker (ca. 1575– 1611), organist at the Nikolaikirche in Hamburg from 1593 until his death. Following this austere setting are two more elaborate realizations by Johann Sebastian Bach of the hymn tune: the closing chorale of the Cantata no. 23 (Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn) and the canonic rendition from the Orgelbüchlein (BWV 619). The harmonic skeleton of the cantata chorale returns, draped with an arching obbligato line in the horn. Decker’s setting is heard again to end this thoughtful miniature.

Michael Tilson Thomas—conductor, composer, pianist, educator, and orchestra founder—is one of America’s most gifted musicians. Born Michael Tomashevsky in Los Angeles in 1944 into an artistic family (his paternal grandparents, Boris and Bessie, founded the Yiddish Theater in New York City), Tilson Thomas studied composition and conducting with Ingolf Dahl, piano with John Crown, and harpsichord with Alice Ehlers at the University of Southern California. He shot to international prominence on October 22, 1969, when he substituted mid-concert for the ailing William Steinberg, music director of the BSO, at a performance in New York’s Philharmonic Hall; he was promoted to associate

conductor the following year. Important positions accumulated quickly thereafter: music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic (1971–79), conductor of the New York Philharmonic’s Young People’s Concerts (1971–74), principal guest conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic (1981–85), music director of the Great Woods Performing Arts Center (1986–89), principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra (1988–95). In 1988, Tilson Thomas founded the Miami-based New World Symphony Orchestra to train young professional musicians; he continues to serve as its artistic director. In 1990, he established the Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan, with Leonard Bernstein, and was its artistic director for the next ten years. In 1995, he became music director of the San Francisco Symphony, where he has balanced the tradition orchestral repertory with a vast range of works from current and earlier generations of American composers. He was named the orchestra’s music director laureate in June 2020. Michael Tilson Thomas is also a talented composer whose works include From the Diary of Anne Frank for Narrator and Orchestra (1990, commissioned by UNICEF and premiered in Philadelphia by the late Audrey Hepburn and the New World Symphony); Shówa/Shoáh (1995, commissioned by the city of Hiroshima in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of that city’s bombing); Three Poems by Walt Whitman for Baritone and Orchestra (1999); Urban Legend for Contrabassoon and Percussion (2002); and Poems of Emily Dickinson for soprano Renée Fleming (2002). His most recent work, Four Preludes on Playthings of the Wind, received its premiere in Miami in April 2016 with the New World Symphony and soprano Measha Brueggergosman.

S

treet Song was composed in 1988 for the Empire Brass, “some of my earliest musical friends,” according to the composer.

Our meeting dates back to student days at Tanglewood when we all discovered that we had knowledge and reverence for good notes, good tunes, and good licks, whether from organum, gamelan, serialism, or latter-day be-bop. Street Song is a simple, nostalgic, street-corner sort of piece. It is the riffs of five guys from a neighborhood somewhere between Bali and Bulgaria. It has no special effects; it has only notes that are the souvenirs of real places and real people. Street Song is in three continuous parts—an interweaving of three songs. The first song opens with a jagged downward scale suspending in the air a sweetly dissonant harmony that very slowly resolves. This moment of resolution is followed by responses of various kinds. The harmonies move between the world of the Middle Ages and the present, between East and West, and always, of course, from the perspective of twentieth-century America. Overall, the movement is about starting and stopping, the moments of suspension always leading somewhere else. The second song is introduced by a yodel-like horn solo. It is followed by a simple trumpet duet, which was first written around 1972. It is folk-like in character and also cadences with suspended moments of slowly resolving dissonance. The third song is really more of a dance. It begins when the trombone slides a step higher, bringing the work into the key of F-sharp and into a jazzier swing. The harmonies here are

the stacked-up moments of suspension from the first two parts of the piece. By now I hope these “dissonant” sounds actually begin to sound “consonant.” There is a resolution, but it is in the world of a musician who after many after-hours gigs greets the dawn. Finally, the three songs are brought together and the work moves toward a quiet close.

By early 1954, when Hollywood producer Sam Spiegel first approached Leonard Bernstein about writing the score for a new film, the maestro had firmly established himself on the American musical scene as a conductor and composer. He had served as assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, music director of the New York City Symphony, and musical advisor to the Israel Philharmonic. As a composer, he had won the New York Music Critics Circle Award for his Jeremiah Symphony and completed his Second Symphony (The Age of Anxiety) and the ballets Fancy Free and Facsimile, as well as the scores for two Broadway shows (On the Town and Wonderful Town). During the middle 1950s, he was much in demand as a guest conductor in Europe and America, having created a sensation in December 1953 as the first American to conduct at La Scala. Initially, Bernstein turned down Spiegel’s offer to supply the music for On the Waterfront, the film based on gritty articles about corruption on the docks, but after seeing a work print in February 1954, he agreed to undertake the project. On the Waterfront, starring Marlon Brando as a longshoreman who defies the racketeers, enjoyed enormous success when it was released, earning eight Academy awards. (Bernstein’s nominated score lost to Dimitri Tiomkin’s The High and the Mighty.) Bernstein, however, was not content to have his music (which he insisted “had been planned as a composition with a beginning, middle, and end”) remain in the background. In 1955, he extracted a “symphonic suite” based on the half-dozen thematic ideas from which he wove the tightly integrated movie score. In the film, the powerful Presto barbaro anticipates or heightens scenes of violence.  Richard E. Rodda, a former faculty member at Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music, provides program notes for many American orchestras, concert series, and festivals.

profiles Michael Mulcahy Conductor Chicago Symphony Orchestra trombonist Michael Mulcahy has appeared as a soloist, conductor, and teacher worldwide. Some of his solo appearances include Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto with the CSO and Riccardo Muti; the music of Elliott Carter with the CSO and Pierre Boulez; Leopold Mozart’s Concerto for Alto Trombone with Daniel Barenboim; and the world premiere of Carl Vine’s Five Hallucinations for Trombone and Orchestra, a solo concerto co-commissioned by the CSO and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Mulcahy is the winner of several international competitions, among them the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Instrumental Competition, the ARD International Music Competition in Munich, the Viotti International Music

Competition in Italy, and the International Instrumental Competition Markneukirchen. Sir Georg Solti appointed Mulcahy to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1989. In addition, he is principal trombonist of Chicago’s Music of the Baroque and the Grand Teton Music Festival. Mulcahy is former principal trombonist of the Tasmanian and Melbourne symphony orchestras and the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne. He also is principal trombonist of the Australian World Orchestra under Briger, Mehta, Rattle, and Muti. Mulcahy’s interest in conducting was sparked by an invitation from West German Radio (WDR). He serves as director of the CSO Brass, conducts regularly for the Grand Teton Music Festival, and makes guest appearances with numerous orchestras. Michael Mulcahy became a senior lecturer at the Canberra School of Music at the Australian National University in 1987. He has led the trombone studio at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music since 1999, and is visiting artist at the Australian National Academy of Music in Melbourne.

chicago symphony orchestra Now celebrating its 130th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distinguished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham. Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942— the longest of the Orchestra’s music directors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, organized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts. Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director. Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several P H OTO BY TO DD RO S E NB E RG

weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings. Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised operatic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director. From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO history. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. In this role, he partnered with Riccardo Muti, staff, and musicians to provide development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO. Jessie Montgomery is the Mead Composer-in-Residence designate and will begin her term in July 2021. She follows ten highlyregarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran, winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music, and Missy Mazzoli, who will complete her three-year tenure this June. In addition to composing works for the CSO, the holder of the position curates the contemporary MusicNOW series. Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s independent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-three Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
