GABRIELLA SMITH

Gabriella Smith is a composer and environmentalist. She grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area playing and writing music, hiking, backpacking, and volunteering on a songbird research project. Whether for orchestras, chamber 34 | ALBANY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

GABRIELLA SMITH

ensembles, voices, or electronics, Smith’s music comes from a love of play, exploring new sounds on instruments, building compelling musical arcs, and connecting listeners with the natural world. Recent highlights include the premiere of her organ concerto, Breathing Forests, written for James McVinnie and LA Phil, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen; and the release of her first full-length album, Lost Coast, with cellist Gabriel Cabezas, which was named one of NPR Music’s “26 Favorite Albums Of 2021 (So Far)” and a “Classical Album to Hear Right Now” by The New York Times. Currently she is working on a version of Lost Coast for cello and orchestra, which will premiere by Gabriel Cabezas and The Los Angeles Philharmonic and conducted by Gustavo Dudamel in May 2023. FROM THE COMPOSER Gabriella Smith - Field Guide Orchestra In the past few years, I have become obsessed with making field recordings everywhere I go. It began with my desire to record the unfolding and trajectory of the

dawn choruses I remember hearing every early Sunday morning as a teenager on the drive out to Point Reyes Bird Observatory where, I would volunteer as a bird bander. It would always start just as we drove past Lagunitas Creek, about 30 minutes before sunrise, and we’d turn off the music and roll down the windows and let in the glorious cacophony and cold morning air. Since then I have recorded dawn choruses and many other natural and human-produced soundscapes around the world while backpacking in the Sierras, Cascades, and Andes, in temperate and tropical rainforest, in desert, in coastal scrub, and in oceans, tide pools, bays, lakes, and glacial streams, recording underwater sounds with my hydrophone, and in the streets and parks and subways of the cities I have spent time in. I envisioned Field Guide as a collage inspired by these various recordings and my improvisations with them on violin and voice, and experiments processing them electronically.

JOHN CORIGLIANO

John Corigliano continues to add to one of the richest, most unusual, and most widely celebrated bodies of work any composer has created over the last 40 years. Corigliano’s numerous scores— including three symphonies and eight concerti among more than 100 chamber, vocal, choral, and orchestral works—have been performed and recorded by many of the most prominent orchestras, soloists, and chamber musicians in the world. Recent scores include Conjurer (2008), for percussion and string orchestra, commissioned for and introduced by Dame Evelyn Glennie; Concerto for Violin

JOHN CORIGLIANO

and Orchestra: The Red Violin (2005), developed from the themes of the score to the François Girard’s film of the same name, which won Corigliano the Oscar in 1999; Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan (2000) for orchestra and amplified soprano, the recording that won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Composition in 2008; Symphony No. 3: Circus Maximus (2004), scored simultaneously for wind orchestra and a multitude of wind ensembles; and Symphony No. 2 (2001: Pulitzer Prize in Music.) One of the few living composers to have a string quartet named for him, Corigliano serves on the composition faculty at the Juilliard School of Music and holds the position of Distinguished Professor of Music at Lehman College, City University of New York, which has established a scholarship in his name; for the past 14 years he and his partner, the composer-librettist Mark Adamo, have divided their time between Manhattan and Kent Cliffs, NY.

FROM THE COMPOSER John Corigliano – “Triathlon” for Saxophone and Orchestra The virtuosic possibilities of the soprano sax—rivaling those of the clarinet— inspired a first movement entitled “Leaps” that is buoyant, acrobatic, and optimistic. An orchestral introduction of jumping woodwinds and a long-lined melody leads to the entrance of the soloist who, after a few virtuosic turns, sings the melody introduced by the orchestra. This melody utilizes the entire lyrical range of the soprano saxophone, and leads to a slower section that extends and develops the melody. But the joyous opening returns and the movement ends as it began—with a leap. The second movement features the alto saxophone and is entitled “Lines.” Lines, in music describe the horizontal motion of notes, or, as we know it, melody. And, indeed, this entire movement is totally melodic and serene. The only dynamic climax in it is one of intensity, but it, too, is composed of purely melodic material. I have always loved the sassy, gravelly sound of the baritone sax, so it had to lead the last movement of my concerto. “Licks” is a jazz term, and means small improvisational moments in a piece. While this is not a jazz movement, the idea of small ornamental turns appealed to me, and provided me with the inspiration for the solo writing. The movement starts with an unaccompanied cadenza. In it, the soloist explores many of the remarkably unusual sounds that the saxophone family can produce. At the beginning, we hear soft key clicks, which are done without breathing into the instrument. This soon develops into a technique called “slap tonguing,” in which the performer literally slaps his 36 | ALBANY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

tongue against the reed. It is a totally delightful and rude sound, and both these devices alternate in the body of the cadenza. After the saxophone plays a giant harmonic glissando, the orchestra enters with a soaring dramatic theme totally at odds with the soloist’s strange sounds. The soloist then enters, playing material with slap-tongue technique, which the orchestra constantly interrupts. Finally, the soloist joins the orchestra in some highly ornamented licks, and the movement barrels forward. The soloist, playing in perpetual motion and in extreme registers, leads us to a central dialogue between him and the woodwinds. The dramatic material returns, building to a climax at which the soloist retrieves his soprano saxophone, and leads the orchestra to its spirited conclusion. I could not have written this work without the support of a couple whose help in commissioning composers is legendary. This concerto is dedicated to Michèle and Larry Corash, with love and admiration, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

STEVEN STUCKY

Steven Stucky (1949-2016), whose Second Concerto for Orchestra earned him the 2005 Pulitzer Prize in Music, has received commissions from countless orchestras, performing groups, individuals, and foundations both at home and abroad. For more than 20 years, Stucky enjoyed the longest relationship on record between a composer and an American orchestra: In 1988 André Previn appointed him Composer-in-Residence of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; later, as the ensemble’s Consulting Composer for New Music, he worked closely with Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen on contemporary

FROM THE COMPOSER Steven Stucky - Radical Light According to Lao-tse, “Nothing that can be said in words is worth saying.” And according to Goethe, “Music begins where words end.” If they are right, then to say what my orchestral work is “about” is doubly impossible. Still, man is not only the animal that sings, but also the animal that speaks, the animal that cannot resist the urge to explain himself.

STEVEN STUCKY

programming, the awarding of commissions, and programming for nontraditional audiences. After several earlier teaching and conducting visits, in 2013 Stucky became artist-faculty composer-in-residence at the Aspen Music Festival and School. He was appointed as the first Barr Institute Composer Laureate at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. Stucky taught at Cornell University from 1980 to 2014, chairing the Music Department from 1992 to 1997, and then serving as Cornell’s Given Foundation Professor of Composition, Emeritus. He was Visiting Professor of Composition at the Eastman School of Music and Temple University, and Ernest Bloch Professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Stucky was a member of the faculty of the Juilliard School from 2014 to 2016. Born on November 7, 1949, in Hutchinson, KS, Stucky was raised in Kansas and Texas. He studied at Baylor and Cornell universities with Richard Willis, Robert Palmer, Karel Husa, and Burrill Phillips. Stucky passed away on February 14, 2016, in Ithaca, NY.

I could say, then, that Radical Light was influenced by its role as a companion to two Sibelius symphonies in a festival of that composer’s music. It was daunting to play the role of the upstart who dares to stand between two monuments like the Sibelius Seventh and Fourth, but there was nothing for it but to meet the assignment head-on. Sibelius has been a strong influence on me for many years, and I especially admire his Seventh Symphony as an architectural marvel. Having long wanted to attempt something like that myself, in Radical Light I tried to emulate something about the architecture of that peerless masterpiece: a single span embracing many different tempi and musical characters, but nevertheless letting everything flow seamlessly from one moment to the next – no section breaks or disruptions, no sharp turns or border crossings. The idea of music that unfolds in a gradual, seamless evolution is a lesson I have also been learning lately from two other Finns, Magnus Lindberg and Esa-Pekka Salonen, and from my Swedish colleague Anders Hillborg. (I hasten to add that the actual sound of the music has nothing to do with Sibelius or the other composers just mentioned, at least not intentionally.) Radical Light is a fundamentally slow piece, but it is infiltrated more than once by livelier music. ALBANY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA | 37

And the title? That came after the fact, and not easily. From my favorite poet, A.R. Ammons, I found these striking lines:

and friend Elinor Frey, who helped me not only in choosing the title but also through a great deal else in the making of the piece.

He held radical light in his skull: music turned, as over ridges immanences of evening light rise, turned back over furrows of his brain into the dark, shuddered, shot out again in long swaying furls of sound.

What I hope for this music is, I think, what Ammons hopes for poetry: that it “leads us to the unstructured sources of our beings, to the unknown, and returns us to our rational, structured selves refreshed. Having once experienced the mystery, plenitude, contradiction, and composure of a work of art, we afterward have a builtin resistance to the slogans and propaganda of oversimplification that have often contributed to the destruction of human life. . . . Nothing that can be said about it in words is worth saying.”

This poetry seemed—even if accidentally—to capture something about the role of the artist in general, about the personality of Sibelius in particular, and even about the very architecture and physicality I had attempted in my own new piece. So I adopted Ammons’s title, and at the same time I dedicated the piece to my colleague

Radical Light was commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic with the generous support of Lenore and Bernard Greenberg.

ALBANY SYMPHONY HITS THE ROAD WITH SEVEN SUMMER PERFORMANCES This summer, the Albany Symphony is hitting the trail! Led by Music Director David Alan Miller, the Capital District’s Grammy Award-winning orchestra and an array of special guest artists are heading out across the region to share free outdoor concerts and daylong festivals with activities for all ages with a project called TrailBlaze NY. The events celebrate the completion of the Empire State Trail—the 750-mile corridor for hikers and cyclists that connects New York City all the way to Canada, and Albany all the way west to Buffalo—with a seven-stop tour highlighting communities in our region. “There is just so much to celebrate here, from the natural wonders of the Catskills to the rich history of innovation rooted in the Erie Canal,” says Miller, who is celebrating his 30th Season as the Albany Symphony’s director. “When we saw how these places were being brought together by the Empire State Trail, we jumped at the chance to help blaze it with music.” The TrailBlaze NY tour will start with the Symphony’s annual American Music Festival Week in Troy and Cohoes (June 2-5) and then proceed on to free outdoor concert stops in Schuylerville (June 11), Kingston (June 19), Hudson (June 24), Schenectady (July 1), Albany (July 2), and Amsterdam (July 3). In addition to a concert of favorites such as Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring”, John Philip Sousa marches and selections from John Williams movie scores, each day will include health and wellness activities that include hiking, cycling, and water sports, as well as art, craft food and beverages, performances from local musicians, and events for kids and families. Many stops will also include post-concert fireworks. “For tourists getting back to adventuring and exploring, this is a perfect way to come experience the beauty, history and diverse offerings of these great cities, towns, and villages,” says Miler. “And for our neighbors, it’s a chance to gather again safety after the challenges we’ve all faced in recent years.” The events, artists, activities, and food and drink offerings will vary at each location to feature local creators and businesses. Every stop will include a KidsZone and a 7:30pm orchestra concert. Schuylerville events will take place at Hudson Crossing Park. Kingston’s will be at Hutton Brickyards. Hudson events will be at Basilica Hudson—and as a special added event, an Albany Symphony wind quintet will present a free sunset concert the following night, June 25, at the Olana State Historic Site. July brings the Symphony back to three more favorite past venues for outdoor concerts: Schenectady’s Mohawk Harbor on the 1st, Albany’s Jennings Landing on the 2nd, and Amsterdam’s Riverlink Park on the 3rd. TrailBlaze NY is funded in part by New York State through Market NY / Capital Region’s Regional Economic Development Council and the New York State Council on the Arts, with vital additional support from corporate and individual donors from across the region.

MUSICIAN HOUSING PROGRAM

55555555555

id you know that many of the musicians of the Albany Symphony do not live in the Capital Region? Musicians travel from New York, Boston, Montreal, Nashville, Ft. Lauderdale, and even as far as Texas to perform with the Albany Symphony. Typically, our musicians are here from Thursday through Sunday of a concert week. Through the generosity of local host families, the Albany Symphony Musician Housing Program was created. Without the support of our host families, we would not be able to maintain the high caliber of musicians who perform with our orchestra. Many of our hosts have created strong bonds with the musicians that stay with them, creating friendships that last a lifetime. Right now, due to the pandemic, musicians are not staying with our generous host families. Instead, the Albany Symphony is providing hotel rooms for our musicians. The Albany Symphony Orchestra extends a very special thank you to patrons who generously provided housing for musicians during the 2019-20 season, and we look forward to reuniting our musicians with our hosts when it is once again safe to do so.
