W E LCO M E A Change in Tempo Do you remember the first time you came to Boettcher Concert Hall for a Colorado Symphony performance?
LOCK+LAND.COM
Mine was June 2008, as I watched from my seat up in Mezzanine 8 as then-music director Jeffrey Kahane led the orchestra. Eight years later, I was on the podium myself, making my debut in a concert that previewed the orchestra’s 2016/17 Season. So much instantly felt right that evening, especially the world-class music-making with our outstanding musicians and having genuine fun with the audience as I introduced each new piece. A year later, I led the orchestra once again in our Season Preview concert…this time as Music Director. The hall was packed, the energy electrifying—and for good reason. This season is filled with amazing works in so many different musical genres. Renée Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, The Rite of Spring, a tribute to Ella Fitgerald—it’s a fantastic season, and one I’m truly proud to present for the first time as your Music Director. Over the past year, much has changed as I’ve prepared to assume this role: leaving my former job with The Cleveland Orchestra, moving across the country, and taking the podium here for our first season together—all while adjusting to the altitude! But one thing has not changed: the Colorado Symphony’s perennial commitment to presenting a wide variety of exquisite music for our audiences. It’s one of the many reasons I joined this extraordinary orchestra, and I hope you’ll join us here at Boettcher Concert Hall, again and again. Here’s to a new era of making wonderful music together! Warmly,
Brett Mitchell Music Director

BE OUR GUESTS: THE COMMUNITY TICKETING INITIATIVE The Colorado Symphony launched the Community Ticketing Initiative (CTI) in October 2014 with the goal of making Symphony concerts available to everyone who wishes to attend, regardless of cost barriers. Through the CTI, the Colorado Symphony offers complimentary tickets to low-income and underserved individuals, children, and families for a wide array of concerts each season. Whether guests prefer classical music, holiday programs, or family concerts, the CTI brings patrons of all musical tastes to Boettcher Concert Hall.
In less than four years, the Symphony has partnered with more than 40 local groups.
In less than four years, the Symphony has partnered with more than 40 local groups including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Colorado, Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado, Hope Kids Colorado, Center for African American Health, and Veteran Tickets Foundation (VetTix). Since its inception, the number of people served by the Community Ticketing Initiative has nearly doubled, from 3,607 served in the Symphony’s 2014/15 Season to 5,653 served by the end of the 2016/17 Season. As the CTI grows, so does our patrons’ joy in attending Colorado Symphony concerts. Here is a letter (one of the many we are thrilled to receive) from one of the organizations we partner with to provide tickets to those they serve. 20 SOUNDINGS 2017/18 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
OUT OF MANY, ONE: MILITARY DISCOUNTS
For the exceptional individuals who serve in the United States military, the Colorado Symphony is honored to provide discounted tickets to all active military personnel and veterans. The Colorado Symphony commences our annual gala and Opening Weekend with the national anthem because we believe in the song that captures the spirit and values of our country. And we perform concerts on the Fourth of July because we want to celebrate our nation’s founding the best way we can: with beautiful music. Last season, more than 1,400 of America’s servicemen and women came to Boettcher Concert Hall through our military discount program. Our musicians, board, and staff are thankful for the opportunity to express our gratitude for their service through the expressive power of performing music.

CLASSICAL IS IN SESSION STUDENT MEMBERSHIPS
Student memberships are a recent addition to the offering of Colorado Symphony discounts, and the program has seen rapid growth as more and more students flock to Boettcher Concert Hall. Established in the fall of 2016, over 80 students have already taken advantage of the Symphony's new, discounted membership program, with members in the inaugural year attending over 500 total concerts. Data is currently unavailable regarding the increase of selfies taken in the hall, but those numbers are equally promising. While over 8,000 students and teachers received discounted tickets to Colorado Symphony performances during the 2016/17 Season, the Musicurious Membership for high school and college-aged students provides an even deeper discount for students through a one-time fee that provides access to most concerts through a season. The more concerts a student attends, the greater the value of the discount. Musicurious Membership is both a great deal for students on a budget and an excellent supplement to Economics 101. Students have the choice of selecting a Solo Student Membership for $60, or a Harmony Student Membership for $99, which allows them to bring a fellow student as their guest to each concert at no additional charge. #friendsnightout Did you know you can also donate your tickets back to the Colorado Symphony if you can’t attend a concert? Simply give them back before the start of the concert as a tax-deductible contribution by calling the Box Office at 303.623.7876, or visiting coloradosymphony.org

In 2015, Mr. Mitchell completed a highly successful five-year appointment as Music Director of the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra, where an increased focus on locally relevant programming and community collaborations resulted in record attendance throughout his tenure.

SPECIAL BIOGRAPHIES he led eight productions from 2010 to 2013.

SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTES PETER BOYER (B. 1970): New Beginnings Peter Boyer was born February 10, 1970, in Providence, Rhode Island. New Beginnings was composed in 2000 and premiered on September 22, 2000, by the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Raymond Harvey. The score calls for three flutes (2nd and 3rd doubling piccolo), three oboes (3rd doubling English horn), three clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), three bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, celesta, piano, and strings. Duration is about 12 minutes. This is the first performance by the Colorado Symphony. American composer, conductor, and teacher Peter Boyer received his undergraduate training at Rhode Island College and his master’s and doctoral degrees from the Hartt School of the University of Hartford (at age 25, in 1995, he became the youngest recipient of a doctoral degree recipient in the history of that institution). He also studied privately with John Corigliano in New York, and completed the Film Scoring Program at the USC School of Music, working with the late Oscar-winning composer Elmer Bernstein. Since 1996, Boyer has been on the faculty of Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California, where he holds the Helen H. Smith Chair in Music. Among his many distinctions are the First Music Carnegie Hall Commission, Lancaster Symphony Composer’s Award, Heckscher Prize from Ithaca College, and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Classical Contemporary Composition for the 2005 Naxos recording of Ellis Island. In addition to his work for the concert hall, Peter Boyer is also active in film and television as a composer and orchestrator, with credits including the Oscar-winning Up. Boyer wrote that New Beginnings, commissioned in 2000 by the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra, “is in one movement in four sections. The first section, in fast tempo, is dominated by a fanfare that begins immediately in the trumpets and horns. The energy of the first section subsides to usher in the second section, which is dominated by a melody played by the oboe. The flute introduces a rhythmic idea that accelerates into the third section. The horns introduce a new melody here, while the rest of the orchestra provides a busy accompaniment. The energy of this third section gradually dissipates, and flute and a few violins lead to the fourth section of the piece, which is characterized by mixed meters.”
RICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949): Four Last Songs for Soprano and Orchestra Richard Strauss was born June 11, 1864, in Munich and died September 8, 1949, in GarmischPartenkirchen. He composed the Four Last Songs in 1948. They were premiered on May 22, 1950, in London, conducted by Wilhelm Furtwängler with Kirsten Flagstad as soloist. The score calls for piccolo, three flutes (all 3 doubling piccolo), two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, three bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, harp, celesta, and strings. Duration is about 24 minutes. The last performance was on November 20 & 21, 2009, with soprano Christine Brewer and Jeffrey Kahane conducting the orchestra.
SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTES Strauss largely withdrew from public life after 1935 to his villa at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the lovely Bavarian Alps. He lived there throughout World War II, spared the physical ravages of the conflict, but deeply wounded by the loss of many friends and by the bombing of Dresden, Munich, and Vienna. In October 1945, under the threat of being called before the Denazification Board, he moved to Switzerland, where he lived for the next four years. He was cleared by the Board in June 1948, but chose to stay in Switzerland for medical treatment that winter, returning to Garmisch in May 1949. At the end of 1946, Strauss read Eichendorff’s poem “Im Abendrot”, in which an aged couple, having moved together through the world for a lifetime, look at the setting sun and ask, “Is that perhaps death?” The words matched precisely Strauss’ feelings of those years, and he determined to set the poem for soprano and orchestra. The first sketches for the song appeared early in 1947, and the piece was completed by May 1948. During that time, a friend sent Strauss a volume of poems by Hermann Hesse, and from that collection he chose four verses to form a five-song cycle with the Eichendorff setting. The Hesse pieces were composed between July and September 1948, making them the final works that Strauss completed. (He never finished the last of the Hesse songs.) He died quietly at his Garmisch home exactly one year later. Each of the magnificent Four Last Songs treats metaphorically the approach of death — through images of rebirth in spring, autumn, rest, and sunset — by returning one final time to the soprano voice, for which Strauss had written so much glorious music throughout his career. In these moving compositions, Strauss left what British musicologist Neville Cardus described as “the most consciously and most beautifully delivered ‘Abschied’ [‘farewell’] in all music.”
LEONARD BERNSTEIN (1918-1990): Selections from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein was born August 25, 1918, in Lawrence, Massachusetts and died October 14, 1990, in New York City. West Side Story was composed in 1957 and opened on Broadway on September 26, 1957. Duration of these selections is about 10 minutes. West Side Story was one of the first musicals to explore a serious subject with wide social implications. In the story, Riff, leader of the Jets, an American street gang, determines to challenge Bernardo, head of the rival Sharks, a group of young Puerto Ricans, to a rumble. Riff asks Tony, his best friend and a co-founder of the Jets, to help. Tony has been growing away from the gang, and senses better things in his future, but agrees. The Jets and the Sharks meet that night at a dance in the gym, where Tony falls in love at first sight with Maria, Bernardo’s sister. Tony promises Maria he will try to stop the rumble, but he is unsuccessful, and becomes involved in the fighting. He kills Bernardo. Maria learns that Tony has slain her brother. He nevertheless comes to her apartment, but she cannot send him away. Tony leaves and hides in Doc’s drugstore. Maria convinces Anita, Bernardo’s girl, of her love for Tony, and Anita agrees to tell Tony that the Sharks intend to hunt him down. She is so fiercely taunted by the Jets at the drugstore, however, that she spitefully tells Tony that Maria has been killed. Tony numbly wanders the streets and meets Maria. At the moment they embrace, he is shot dead. The Jets and the Sharks appear from the shadows,

As the plot unfolds, Tony and Maria sing of their longing for a place free from prejudice in a dance performed while a woman’s voice is off-stage heard singing “Somewhere”. When Maria is still unaware of the unfolding tragedy, she excitedly sings “I Feel Pretty”.
LEONARD BERNSTEIN: “Take Care of This House” from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, with book and lyrics by Broadway veteran Alan Jay Lerner (Paint Your Wagon, Brigadoon, My Fair Lady, Camelot, On a Clear Day, Gigi), was Bernstein’s contribution to the United States Bicentennial Celebration in 1976. The musical opened on May 4, 1976, at Broadway’s Mark Hellinger Theater after try-outs in Philadelphia and Washington but ran for just seven performances (“Well, you remember the Titanic …” was Lerner’s wry summation), and it has remained among the least accessible of Bernstein’s works. 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, subtitled “A Musical About the Problems of Housekeeping,” traces a series of presidencies in the White House as seen through the eyes of the domestic staff. Take Care of This House is sung by Abigail Adams, the wife of President John Adams. Bernstein performed the song (with Frederica von Stade) on the Inaugural Concert at Kennedy Center in January 1977 in honor of President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter.
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK (1841-1904): Carnival Overture, Op. 92 Antonín Dvořák was born September 8, 1841, in Nelahozeves, Bohemia (now Czech Republic), and died May 1, 1904, in Prague. He composed the Carnival Overture in 1891, and conducted its premiere on April 28, 1892, in Prague. The score calls for woodwinds in pairs plus piccolo and English horn, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, and strings. Duration is about 9 minutes. The Overture was last performed on October 3 & 3, 2015, with James Feddeck on the podium. Like almost every musician of the late 19th century, Dvořák had to come to grips with the astounding phenomenon of Richard Wagner and his music dramas. Around 1890, he undertook a study of this grandiloquent music, as well as that of Wagner’s stylistic ally (and father-in-law) Franz Liszt, and he was rewarded with a heightened awareness of the expressive possibilities of orchestral program music. Several important scores from Dvořák’s last years seem to bear the influence of his study of this so-called “Music of the Future”: the five tone poems of 1896-1897 (The Water Goblin, The Noon Witch, The Golden Spinning Wheel, The Wild Dove, and Heroic Song); Silent Woods for Cello and Orchestra; Poetic Tone Pictures for Solo Piano; and the 1892 cycle of three concert overtures: In Nature’s Realm, Carnival, and Othello.
PROGRAM 6 SOUNDINGS 2017/18 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTES In his study of the composer, John Clapham indicated that Dvořák intended the triptych of overtures to represent “three aspects of the life-force’s manifestations, a force which the composer designated ‘Nature,’ and which not only served to create and sustain life, but also, in its negative phase, could destroy it.” More specifically, Otakar Šourek noted that they depicted “the solemn silence of a summer night, a gay whirl of life and living, and the passion of great love.” Dvořák himself said that the Carnival Overture was meant to depict “a lonely, contemplative wanderer reaching at twilight a city where a festival is in full swing. On every side is heard the clangor of instruments, mingled with shouts of joy and the unrestrained hilarity of the people giving vent to their feelings in songs and dances.” Dvořák evoked this scene with brilliant music given in the most rousing sonorities of the orchestra. Into the basic sonata plan of the piece, he inserted, at the beginning of the development section, a haunting and wistful paragraph led by the English horn and flute to portray, he said, “a pair of straying lovers,” the wanderer apparently having found a companion. Following this tender, contrasting episode, the festive music returns and mounts to a spirited coda to conclude this joyous, evergreen Overture.
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: Za štíhlou gazelou (“In pursuit of the slender gazelle”) from Armida, Op. 115 Armida (1903), Dvořák’s last opera, is based on Gerusalemme liberata (1581), Torquato Tasso’s epic tale of the First Crusade to liberate Jerusalem (1096-1099), which also served as the basis for works by Monteverdi, Handel, Haydn, Lully, Salieri, Rossini, Gluck, Brahms, and dozens of others. Dvořák’s version of the story, set to a libretto by the Czech lyric poet and eight-time Nobel Prize-nominee Jaroslav Vrchlický, opens at the royal palace in Damascus, where King Hydraot is convinced by the magician Ismen that the Christian forces are using the campaign to free Jerusalem only as an excuse to dominate the East. Hydraot sends his daughter, the enchantress Armida, to distract the advancing army by bewitching their leader and sowing dissent among the troops. She refuses until Ismen conjures a magic vision in which she sees the Christian knight Rinaldo, with whom she fell in love when he appeared in her earlier dreams, in pursuit of a gazelle. Armida’s ardor is stirred when she imagines herself pursued, like the gazelle, by Rinaldo and agrees to undertake her difficult task to the enemy encampment to find him.
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: “Songs My Mother Taught Me” from Gypsy Songs, Op. 55 Dvořák wrote the set of Gypsy Songs in January 1880 for Prague-born Gustav Walter, the leading tenor of the Vienna Opera for the three decades after 1856 and a renowned specialist in lieder recitals and the operas of Mozart and Wagner; Walter premiered the Gypsy Songs, in German, at his recital in Vienna on February 4, 1881. The words and spirit of these pieces came from the collection of original poems titled Gypsy Melodies that Adolf Heyduk (1835-
SOUNDINGS 2017/18 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 7
SPECIAL PROGRAM NOTES 1923), a professor at Písek, fifty miles south of Prague, had published in 1859. Heyduk’s poems were inspired by the traditional verses of the Gypsies of Slovakia, a mountainous land then considered by the more westernized Bohemians to be wilder and more exotic than their own, and they drew from Dvořák settings in which, wrote Alec Robertson in his study of the composer, “He reached his highest pinnacle as a song-writer. Everything is in place here.” The fourth number of the set, widely known as Songs My Mother Taught Me, became one of Dvořák’s most famous and best-loved melodies.
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: “Song to the Moon” from Rusalka Rusalka (1900) tells the story of the water sprite Rusalka who falls in love with a Prince and enlists the aid of a witch to transform herself into a beautiful woman. The Prince returns Rusalka’s affection but he soon finds her cold, and instead marries a young Princess. Rusalka changes back into a sprite. When the Princess betrays her husband, however, the Prince returns to Rusalka in her lake, kisses her, and dies in her arms. In her lovely “Song to the Moon” from Act I, Rusalka appeals to the moon to carry her love to the Prince on its silvery beams.

Dvořák: “Za štíhlou gazelou” from Armida Text by Jaroslav Vrchlicky (1853-1912)
As I merrily pursued a gazelle
Za štíhlou gazelou v houštinu setmĕlou ráno jsem s veselou [chvátala] myslí; náhle ve háje tmách divný mne schvátil strach, napjatý luk můj v prach sklonil se svislý!
In pursuit of the slender gazelle into the darkened thicket I hastened at dawn in cheerful spirits; Suddenly in the darkness of the grove a strange fear seized me, and my taut bow drooped to the ground!
Jak zářný archandĕl v zlaté se zbroji skvĕl, v duši mou tisíc střel sypaje zrakem, jak jsem ho ve snĕní vídala v tušení, k nĕmu jsem v mlčení zřela jak mrakem.
Like a radiant archangel he stood there in splendid golden armor, in my soul a thousand arrows dazzled my vision just as I used to see him in my dreams of anticipation, and in silence I gazed at him as if through clouds.
Nežli jsem vztáhla dlaň, šípem sbod’ moji laň, schvátil ji a s ní v pláň pustil se dále, na mĕ se neohlíd’, a přece z duše klid vyrval mi, že cit můj ztápí se v žale.
Before I could move, his arrow struck my doe, he seized her and carried her off into the plain, he did not look back at me, and yet he robbed my heart of all its peace, so that my feelings have turned to grief.
Odešel, jen se mih’, jak paprsk ve vĕtvích, gazelou chtĕla bych ranĕnou býti! S hrdostí jeho šíp nesla bych jistĕ líp, sotva by krok můj shýb’ u cesty kvítí!
He vanished in a flash, like a sunbeam through branches, and I longed to be that wounded gazelle! With pride by his arrow I would gladly be pierced, as easily as my foot tramples the flowers by the roadside!
