THE MATCHUP THAT’S NO MATCHUP.
When comparing the BMW 528i Sedan to rivals like the Mercedes E350, some stark differences quickly come to light. To start, the 528i is faster than the E350, and more fuel-efficient, with 34 mpg hwy vs. 30 with the Mercedes.* The 528i widens its lead with a comprehensive maintenance plan (that costs you nothing), and a lower MSRP than the E-Class. Looks like it’s time for a test drive of the 528i today.

About the artists P OPS s e r i es
PINK MARTINI In 1994, Thomas Lauderdale was working in politics in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, thinking that one day he would run for mayor. Like other eager politicians-in-training, he went to every political fundraiser under the sun, but he was dismayed to find the music at these events lackluster, loud and un-neighborly. Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world and in every genre from classical to old-fashioned pop, he founded Pink Martini in 1994. This “little orchestra” provided more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers supporting a broad range of causes. One year later, Lauderdale called China Forbes, a Harvard classmate who was living in New York City, and asked her to join Pink Martini. They began to write songs together. Their first song, “Sympathique,” became an overnight sensation in France and was nominated for Song of the Year at France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards. Says Lauderdale, “We’re very much an American band, but we spend a lot of time abroad and therefore have the incredible diplomatic opportunity to represent a broader, more inclusive America…the America which remains the most heterogeneously populated country in the world.” Featuring 10 to 12 musicians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America. Pink Martini made its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998. Since then, the band has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around the world, including multiple engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Pops and the National Symphony. Pink Martini released Hang on Little Tomato in 2004, Hey Eugene! in 2007 and Splendor in the Grass in 2009. These albums, along with two others, have gone gold in France, Canada, Greece and Turkey, and have sold well over 2.5 million copies worldwide. The band has collaborated

and performed with numerous artists, including Jimmy Scott, Carol Channing, Rufus Wainwright, Michael Feinstein, filmmaker Gus Van Sant, Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols, Mamie Van Doren and the original cast of Sesame Street. Singer Storm Large began performing with Pink Martini in March 2011, when China Forbes took a leave of absence to undergo surgery on her vocal cords. Forbes made full recovery, and now both she and Large continue performing with Pink Martini. Pink Martini has an illustrious roster of regular guest artists, including NPR White House correspondent Ari Shapiro. Most recently, the four great-grandchildren of Maria and Georg Von Trapp appeared with Pink Martini, and they are currently working on a joint album project with the band. In January 2012 Thomas Lauderdale recorded the Charlie Chaplin song “Smile” with Phyllis Diller. This song, along with many others you will hear tonight, will be released on Pink Martini’s next album. THE VON TRAPPS
There is probably not another last name as universally beloved as Von Trapp. The story of the family who escaped Austria, moved to the United States and toured the world singing for two decades continues to inspire people of all ages since the film The Sound of Music was released in 1964.

Although the Trapp Family Singers performed their farewell concert in 1957, 40 years later the great-grandchildren of the Captain and Maria von Trapp — sisters Sofia, Melanie, Amanda and brother Justin von Trapp — began singing together to comfort their ailing grandfather, who was portrayed as Kurt, the youngest boy of the seven von Trapp children. Now known as the Von Trapps, they have performed around the world to packed houses. The Von Trapps have toured North America extensively and have appeared with numerous symphony orchestras, including the Boston Pops, as well as the orchestras of Atlanta, Detroit, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Toronto. They have appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, The View, Fox and Friends, Good Morning America, the Grand Ole Opry and numerous television shows abroad.

About the artists J A ZZ S E RI E S
WAYNE SHORTER, saxophone One of the most influential saxophonists and composers in the pantheon of modern music, let alone jazz, Wayne Shorter will celebrate his 80th terrestrial year in 2013. “At a time when most musicians are content to collect the lifetime-achievement awards and honorary degrees,” one critic recently wrote, “Shorter is creating not just some of the most intense music of his career, but some of the most intense improvised music available.” Regarded as a pioneer since his emergence in the 1950s, Shorter has restlessly embodied continual exploration and unencumbered momentum. He recently re-signed to Blue Note Records and released his first album for the iconic label in 43 years; he recorded the searing Without a Net with his long-running quartet featuring pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Brian Blade. Reviews of his recent live performances are exercises in superlative overload. Calling it “the most skillful, mutually attuned and fearlessly adventurous small jazz group on the planet,” the Guardian (UK) said that the quartet “celebrates humanity’s hope for harmony.” DANILO PÉREZ, piano GRAMMY® winner Danilo Pérez is among the most influential and dynamic musicians of our time. In just over a decade, his distinctive pan-American jazz (covering the music of the Americas, folkloric and world music) has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. Pérez’s abundant talents and joyous enthusiasm make his concerts both memorable and inspiring. Whether leading his own ensembles or touring with renowned jazz masters, he is making a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music, guided, as always, by his love for jazz.

JOHN PATITUCCI, bass John Patitucci has been at the forefront of the jazz world for the last 30 years and is active in all styles of music. He is a three-time GRAMMY® winner, has been nominated more than 14 times and has played on many other GRAMMY®winning recordings. He is an active composer, with 13 solo recordings of his own, and has been commissioned to write for various chamber music groups. Patitucci is currently an artist-inresidence at Berklee College of Music’s Global Jazz Institute and recently launched an interactive online bass school through ArtistWorks. BRIAN BLADE, drums Multitalented young veteran Brian Blade is widely respected in the jazz world as drummer, composer and leader of Brian Blade and The Fellowship Band, with whom he has released three albums. He is also known as the drummer for many heroes of the music world, including Daniel Lanois, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Wayne Shorter, Seal, Bill Frisell and Emmylou Harris. Blade is always searching for the balance that gives a song a personal story with an outward-reaching resonance. He has been part of the Wayne Shorter Quartet since 2000. ESPERANZA SPALDING, vocals In one of the most startling achievements in jazz history, bassist Esperanza Spalding captured the world’s attention upon earning the title of Best New Artist at the 2011 GRAMMY® Awards. A gifted composer with a hypnotic voice, she stretches the boundaries of jazz and continues her evolution as a musician with the 2012 release of Radio Music Society. Spalding has graced the stages of the finest concert halls and festivals around the world; performed at the White House, the Nobel Peace

About the artist
CAMERON CARPENTER, organ Cameron Carpenter has been hailed by Los Angeles Times as “one of the rare musicians who changes the game of his instrument” and “a smasher of cultural and classical music taboos.” A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Carpenter has challenged the stereotypes of organ music, and he has generated a level of acclaim, exposure and controversy unprecedented for an organist. His repertoire is perhaps the largest and most diverse of any organist, ranging from the complete works of J. S. Bach and Cesar Franck to transcriptions of
28

non-organ works, original compositions, and collaborations with jazz and pop artists. He is the first organist ever nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for a solo album. A keyboard prodigy, he performed Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier at age 11 before joining the American Boychoir School in 1992 as a boy soprano. During his four years of high school studies at The North Carolina School of the Arts, he made his first studies in orchestration and orchestral composition, and he transcribed for the organ more than 100 major works, including Gustav Mahler’s complete Symphony No. 5.

works with Aria, Op. 1 (2010). His first major work for organ and orchestra, The Scandal, Op. 3, was commissioned by the Cologne Philharmonie (KölnMusic GmbH). The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie premiered this work on New Year’s Day 2011, led by Alexander Shelley. Die Welt’s Manuel Brug writes that Carpenter the composer “is proving himself to be a clever eclecticist, who understands to entertain with much finesse, and admits with a wink that he is ‘annoyed by intellectual music.’ ” Carpenter is one of the only performing artists to make a practice of meeting his audience in person before his performances, often spending over an hour before each concert shaking hands and signing autographs on the floor of a concert venue. With combined millions of hits on YouTube and numerous television, radio and press features including CBS Sunday Morning, BBC Radio 3, ARD, ZDF, NDR Kultur, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal and many others, he is the world’s most visible organist.

Carpenter continued composing after moving to New York City in 2000 to attend The Juilliard School. While at Juilliard, his compositions included art songs and the symphonic poem Child of Baghdad (2003) for orchestra, chorus and Ondes Martenot. He also wrote his first substantial works for solo organ, and he created numerous organ arrangements of piano works by Chopin, Godowsky, Grainger, Ives, Liszt, Medtner, Rachmaninoff, Schumann and others. Carpenter received his master’s degree from The Juilliard School in New York in 2006. The same year, he began his worldwide organ concert tours, giving numerous debuts at venues including Royal Albert Hall, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Melbourne Town Hall, Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Davies Hall in San Francisco and many others. His first album for Telarc®, the GRAMMY®-nominated Revolutionary (2008), was followed in 2010 by the critically acclaimed full length DVD and CD Cameron Live!

S E R I ES
In 1926 Kodály had a triumph with his folk opera Háry János, and the following year he introduced a concert suite drawn from its score. One of his best-loved works, the Suite from Háry János filters Kodály’s fascination with Hungarian folk music through a highly polished, sparkling orchestral technique. First performance: March 24, 1927, with Antal Fleischer conducting the Pablo Casals Orchestra in Barcelona. First Nashville Symphony performance: March 3 & 4, 1975, with guest conductor Arpad Joó Estimated length: 25 minutes

olk music has provided a plentiful source of inspiration to composers ever since they started writing more complex, abstract forms that could be listened to for their own sake. But new attitudes about the inherent value of folk music began to take root in the 19th century, strengthened by the discoveries in ethnomusicology pioneered by such composers and researchers as the Hungarian Zoltán Kodály. Along with a breakthrough concerto by the young Mozart, our program features engaging works by three composers working in both the Old and New Worlds in the last century, each of which was shaped by the resurgent interest in folk music. “The most beautiful seven years” of his childhood, Kodály once recalled, were spent in Galánta. The family moved several times in his youth, including a stint in this small Hungarian town (nowadays in Slovakia), where his father worked as the stationmaster for the main railway line between Budapest and Vienna. Those idyllic years were not only commemorated in Dances of
32

Galánta — which, together with the Háry János Suite, ranks among Kodály’s best-known concert works — but instilled a lifelong fascination with folk music and culture. While still a student at the conservatory in Budapest, Kodály insisted on thinking outside the box by concentrating on his homeland’s indigenous music. Previous composers had often trivialized the folk music of the ethnic Magyars by using it merely for “local color” or to spice up a score. Kodály joined with fellow student Béla Bartók to travel about remote parts of the countryside, gathering and recording an enormous trove of musical material that had been passed along for generations but never written down. A period spent in Paris brought further enlightenment, but the composer’s international breakthrough came relatively late, in 1923, through the Psalmus Hungaricus, a work celebrating the 50th anniversary of the unification of Budapest as the Hungarian capital. Given his
The score is permeated by folk elements. In fact, the orchestra’s very first gesture, at the start of “Prelude: The Fairy-Tale Begins,” delightfully but impressively mimics the sound of a massive sneeze. In addition to their medical significance, sneezes carry a variety of folkloric associations and, in the Hungarian tradition alluded to here, are supposed to vouch for the truth of what’s just been said — a motif János Garay uses in his source poem (see sidebar below). Kodály, however, frames his musical tale by placing it at the beginning, with a wink. The music then builds on the soulful melody first heard in the low strings, which hints at nostalgia for vanished times and draws us into the fantasy world of our hero.

The Suite alternates high Romanticism with scenes from János’ actual exploits amid grand settings. In No. 2 (“Viennese Musical Clock”) it’s the court of the Austrian Emperor himself, to which his charms have won him entrance. The composer’s discovery in his formative years of contemporary music by Debussy and Ravel is evident in the “striking” orchestration (plentiful percussion and winds, no strings) as the hero admires the intricate palace clock. The intensely beautiful “Song” (No. 3) presents another emotional snapshot. A solo viola introduces the folk melody associated with the feelings János still has for his beloved from the village. This music is elaborated into a rhapsodic vision with the aid of sensitive clarinet scoring and the folk-archaic sound of the cimbalom, Hungary’s version of the hammered dulcimer. János’ delusions of grandeur are at their most spectacular in No. 4, “The Battle and Defeat of Napoleon,” in which he prevails and personally forces the French invader to surrender. Kodály recalls some of the techniques of Richard Strauss’ tone poems, but all in his own style. With a parody of the Marseillaise and plaintive alto saxophone, the arrogantly advancing French are struck down, leading to a dirge in the last section. Celebration is now in order for the proud János
CL A SS I C A L
obsession with folklore, it seemed inevitable that Kodály would want to translate it into a stage work. Following an earlier theatrical piece written for a cabaret setting, he had major success with his comic opera Háry János. Its use of spoken dialogue to further the action is similar to the format found in The Magic Flute. The concert suite, which Kodály arranged as a stand-alone work in six movements, has become far better known in the international repertory than the opera.
Th e Fi gur e of Há ry J ános The story Kodály retells in both his opera and concert suite comes from a mock-epic poem by János Garay (1812-1853) about a peasant war veteran who suggests a combination of Don Quixote, Peer Gynt, and Falstaff in his braggart mode. Háry János (or, as we might say, János — “John” — Háry, since traditional Hungarian name order places the surname first) entertains his companions at the local tavern with blustery tales of adventure from his days long ago. We learn how the brave young man attracted the attentions of the Emperor’s
daughter and the enmity of his rival, ultimately joining the Austrian army and defeating Napoleon himself — no matter that, without the accompanying alcohol, these tall tales that rewrite history might strain credulity just a bit. In the end he renounces the pomp of court to return home with his steadfast beloved. In his “folk opera” Kodály actually perceived János not as a figure to be mocked but as “a natural visionary and poet,” as well as an allegory for his country, “whose strivings and ambitions can be fulfilled only in dreams.”

and his fellow soldiers. The “Intermezzo” (No. 5) that immediately follows fittingly shifts gears to a version of the verbunkos, a folk Hungarian dance that became associated with the recruitment of soldiers by Austrian officials. Naturally, the cimbalom again becomes a major component in Kodály’s palette here. The full orchestra, brightly colored, joins for the imperial ceremonies honoring the heroic János in the final movement (“Entrance of the Emperor and His Court”). Raucously shrill high spirits in the final moments
leaven the pompous brass proclamations as János happily winds up his well-embroidered tales. The Háry János Suite is scored for 3 flutes (all on doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets (1 doubling on E-flat clarinet), 2 bassoons, alto saxophone, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 cornets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, snare drum, chimes, tubular bells, glockenspiel, cymbals, tamtam, tambourine, triangle, xylophone, piano, celesta, cimbalom and strings.

The concerto fuses Ginastera’s use of Latin American folk idioms with modernist techniques, all the while calling for thrilling virtuosity from the soloist.

s with Kodály, Alberto Ginastera first gained fame with folk-inspired works. He was still a conservatory student when he composed his ballet Panambí, which explored Native American musical heritage. A few years later, in 1941, came a commission for another ballet, Estancia, which set out to capture the atmosphere of “Argentine country life” in a sort of parallel to Aaron Copland’s recent Billy the Kid. Unforeseen circumstances prevented the ballet’s premiere, but when Ginastera introduced a concert suite of dances from the score in 1943, he clinched his
34
A PR I L 2 0 1 3
reputation as the most promising voice among the new generation of composers coming of age in Argentina. Before Ginastera’s time the norm had been for young talent to study in the prestigious conservatories of Europe. These musicians would then use their training when they returned to promote the growing wave of musical nationalism and discovery. In contrast, after being educated in his native Buenos Aires, Ginastera spent an influential period abroad after World War II studying in the United States. Later in his career
he began incorporating some of the innovations and procedures of the European avant-garde into his music. The political situation in Argentina caused him to go into exile a few years after he completed the Harp Concerto. Ginastera returned to the U.S. but then decided to settle in Switzerland, where he lived for the rest of his life. Ginastera’s friendship with Copland helped further his reputation among North American ensembles. One of several significant commissions that came from abroad was for a concerto to showcase the artistry of Edna Phillips, the Philadelphia Orchestra’s harpist and the orchestra’s first female player. She and her husband were responsible for commissioning numerous works for the instrument. Ginastera later composed concertos for piano, as well as violin and cello, but he found the assignment to craft one for the harp unexpectedly difficult and missed the originally agreed on deadline by years. Phillips had already retired from the orchestra by the time the score was ready, so the highly demanding role of soloist went to the Spanish harpist Nicanor Zabaleta. The concerto nevertheless retains Ginastera’s dedication to Edna Phillips, and she liked it best of all the works commissioned on her behalf.
W h at to l i sten fo r In the concerto’s outer movements, Ginastera ingeniously marries the vibrant, earthy rhythms of a uniquely Argentine dance, the malambo, with his colorful and complex harmonic language. The malambo originated as a ritual display of machismo by gauchos (“cowboys”) during the long days out on the vast pampas. It figures prominently in the composer’s earlier ballet Estancia. Its association with all-male dance contests (which were also a chance to show off some fancy footwork) generates an interesting counterpoint to the common perception of the harp as a “feminine” instrument. Indeed, much of the fascination of this work derives from the many different personalities Ginastera creates for the soloist. Dispensing with a formal orchestral introduction, he brings the harpist immediately into the foreground with a propulsive theme of aggressively syncopated chords. This in turn
gives way to a gentler, more “bardic” mode veiled in lyrical mystery. The rest of the movement proceeds to contrast these two kinds of music. Lower strings begin the introverted melody that dominates the meditative second movement. Piquant harmonies also feature in its soundscape, as Ginastera mixes and matches orchestral colors with the harp, alternating between shadow and light with great imagination. The music’s dreaminess crosses over into a lengthy cadenza for the harp (“liberamente capriccioso”). Serving as a prelude to the final movement, the cadenza calls for improvisatory gestures amid its silky glissandos, far-spanning arpeggios and dramatic chords, even imitating a guitar tuning up at the very start. Ginastera once contrasted the different kinds of “nationalism” he explored in his earlier music (“objective” and “subjective”) with a tendency toward a more abstract “neo-expressionism,” yet the Harp Concerto integrates these facets in intriguing ways. The harpist sets the stage for the return of the malambo rhythmic momentum in the orchestra, which initiates the rousing last movement. Using a main theme whose catchy, straightforward simplicity is quintessentially folklike, Ginastera creates surprise with a dazzling, ever-changing whirlwind of textures, featuring special attention to his full range of percussive sonorities. Enormously challenging for the soloist, the music hurtles forward, impetuous and determined, until a final burst of energy concludes the concerto with a fierce exclamation point. In addition to solo harp, the Harp Concerto is scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, crotales, bongos, tom-toms, cowbells, cymbals, tam-tam, triangle, claves, güiro, maracas, woodblock, whip, bass drum, snare drum, tenor drum, tambourine, glockenspiel, xylophone, celesta and strings.

f Mozart had grown up in present-day Nashville, he would have just reached the legal drinking age when he composed this concerto. Since we’re talking about Mozart, one of the most famous prodigies in music history, this might not necessarily seem impressive at first glance. To be sure, he had been performing and composing since early childhood and by this point even had several operas to his credit. Yet the Piano Concerto No. 9 holds a special place in Mozart’s catalogue. All of the Mozart piano concertos that remain in the regular repertory — works considered among his finest masterpieces — date from his final decade in Vienna; all except this one, which was written in January 1777, four-and-a-half years before the composer was able to break away from his hated Salzburg for good to resettle in the capital. The sudden appearance of this music during Mozart’s Salzburg years is part of its mystique. In his classic study of the composer, Alfred Einstein may have seemed to exaggerate a bit when he famously compared K. 271 to the quantum leap we find in Beethoven’s Eroica. Still, Einstein’s entirely justifiable enthusiasm has been echoed by many other experts, including Charles Rosen, an authority on Viennese classicism, who admired the concerto as “perhaps the first unequivocal masterpiece in a classical style purified of all mannerist traces.” Simply put, a brilliantly innovative and self-assured voice emerges in this music. Mozart had written keyboard concertos before this, ranging from pieces that recycled and transcribed music by other composers to the forward-looking Concerto in D major of 1773 (K. 175), but No. 9 represents an unprecedented achievement in terms of ambition, scope and originality. In fact, it’s longer than the rest of Mozart’s piano concertos and, if we didn’t know the date, it might easily be mistaken for a product of the Viennese Mozart of the 1780s. The composer himself evidently remained proud of what he had accomplished, since he returned to it several years later in Vienna to

Solv in g a Moz artean Myste ry Musicological research probably sounds like one of the drier topics to the general reader — right next to reading a cell phone owner’s manual — but it can actually be pretty exciting and even change our perception of a familiar work. About a decade ago, through remarkable detective work, the Austrian musicologist Michael Lorenz found the answer to the mystery of how this concerto came about. Before then the concerto had gone by the posthumous nickname “Jeunehomme” (as it often does to this day). This was assumed to be the correct spelling of the surname of the female pianist for whom Mozart had written the
piece, though, inexplicably, he himself referred to her in a letter as “Madame Jenomè” (he did after all love spelling games and jokes). All sorts of speculations arose — still frequently encountered in program notes — about the mysterious “Jeunehomme” woman who lacked a first name but somehow inspired Mozart to write such wonderful music for her to perform. Lorenz was able to verify her identity as Victoire Jenamy, daughter of a friend of Mozart, Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810). Her father was an important figure in ballet for whom Mozart also wrote music.

Mozart’s boldness begins within seconds of the opening. Convention called for a formal statement of the themes by the ensemble as a way of properly introducing the soloist, who is then expected to have her say. But here, with no clearing of the throat, we hear immediately from the pianist — or harpsichordist, since the work may have been performed on that instrument during these years of transition to the newer fortepiano. The soloist not only steps right into the fray, but remains interventionist, challenging convention by joining in for the closing passage instead of bowing out per usual at the end of the cadenza. Another notable feature of this movement is its generosity of ideas, themes and melodies: Mozart presents one after another yet keeps them all lucid and clear for the listener. And despite the reduced orchestration (strings with only oboes and horns), the sound is rich and full. What follows is an unexpected turn toward the minor key and a movement of real emotional pathos. The Andantino reminds us that for Mozart, piano concertos provided a “stage” for the operas he longed to write. Here
CL A SS I C A L
write out new cadenza-like passages. Typically Mozart improvised his own cadenzas, but since he originally intended this work for another performer, the cadenzas he wrote out for all three movements have survived. Another reason for the concerto’s mystique involves the occasion for which Mozart wrote it. The Viennese concertos became so significant in part because he conceived and composed them for himself to perform: they were essential tools as he set about establishing a freelance career and they helped build his audience base. Yet Mozart initially wrote K. 271 for someone else. Victoire Jenamy, daughter of a major figure in ballet, had become a renowned pianist in Vienna and commissioned a new concerto from Mozart, her father’s friend. There was no mysterious “Mlle./Madame Jeunehomme,” despite continued mistaken assertions to the contrary. “Jeunehomme” was a posthumous invention for what should therefore really be called the “Jenamy” Concerto — though, as the former simply means “young man” and wasn’t a misspelling, it applies in its own way to this stunning creation by the young Mozart.
CL A SS I C A L s e r i es
the mode is the old-fashioned opera seria but, as always with this composer, rendered urgently up to date, a despairing meditation of powerful accents and harmonies. The soloist becomes the singer, finding solace in a turn to the major but returning to the plaintive C minor that frames the movement. All sorrow is instantly swept away by the stirring Presto theme, which fuels the finale and exhibits the pianist in an extroverted, uninhibited light. Mozart isn’t satisfied with churning out
yet another standard-issue rondo, however. In the center, like a Russian Easter egg opening up, comes a slower minuet theme complete with its own set of variations (perhaps a sly homage to père Noverre, the dance master). We can count on the soloist to whisk us out of this dream-withina-dream and back into the unbridled Presto for a brilliant finish to this landmark concerto. In addition to solo piano, Mozart scores his concerto for 2 oboes, 2 horns and strings.

s Kodály and Ginastera did for their respective countries, Carlos Chávez played a key role in staking out the musical identity of Mexico in the wake of the epochal Revolution of 1921. He developed a powerful presence as a composer, conductor, teacher, journalist, music critic, orchestra builder and musical citizen overall. His deep, ongoing friendship with Aaron Copland led to a mutually beneficial influence between the two. Both men explored the heritage of folk music as a rich resource that could be

tapped to supply fresh energy for the modernist rethinking of the basic principles of composition. The highly prolific Chávez regarded folk idioms, rhythms and tunes as far more than abstract artifacts to be used at will. “The indigenous music of Mexico,” he observed, “is a reality of contemporary life. It is not, as might be thought, a relic to satisfy mere curiosity on the part of intellectuals, or to supply more or less important data for ethnography.” He also notes that “the essential characteristics of this
Sinfonía India comprises just one highly condensed movement, but Chávez packs so much activity and so many contrasting sonorities into its span that it feels like a large-scale, multimovement work. It’s not necessary to recognize the outlines of European sonata form Chávez references to enjoy the sense of event he creates. A more newfangled sensibility can also be sensed in the quasi-cinematic jump-cutting of material, which recalls Stravinsky’s revolutionary ballets. What is characteristic of Chávez above all is the brilliant orchestration, the way his ideas take on a particular personality through his specific use of instruments. He notably calls for a marvelous extended percussion contingent that makes ample use of Native American instruments. Yaqui drum, clay rattle, water gourd, a string of deer hooves and even a “string of butterfly cocoons” are all employed, though the composer suggests more easily obtainable Western substitutes as needed. “The music of America’s immediate ancestors is the strong music of a man who constantly struggles and tries to dominate his surroundings,” writes Chávez, who also admires its “simplicity and purity.” This musical strength gathers force in the brilliantly animated section that brings the Sinfonía India to its breathtaking close.

indigenous music have been able to resist four centuries of contact with European musical expressions.” The enduring vitality of that indigenous music is the driving subtext of the Second Symphony, which Chávez chose to introduce via radio broadcast when William Paley invited him to appear with the CBS Radio Orchestra in the mid-1930s, just around the time his friendship with Copland was beginning to flourish. The title Sinfonía India refers to the indigenous Mexican culture — specifically, that of the Yacqui, Seri and Huichol peoples — that finds expression here. Rather than create a program “about” the native, pre-Columbian peoples of Mexico, Chávez uses the rhythms, melodies and instrumentation of their music as his basic building blocks.

Mark Tedder, MD Saint Thomas Heart Cardiac Surgeon
A lifesAving AdvAncement is giving heArt pAtients
a new lease on life Thanks to new surgical techniques, patients with previously inoperable and high-risk valvular heart issues are going on to potentially live full, healthy lives. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive alternative to open heart surgery that has a significantly shorter recovery time. Saint Thomas Heart is the first FDA approved program in the state to perform this procedure through
the rib cage for patients with arteries that are too small for the transfemoral approach. With TAVR, we are able to help more patients who previously had little hope. For more informations, visit www.SaintThomasHeart.com/TAVR. To schedule an appointment with a Saint Thomas Heart physician, please call 800.345.5016.

Legacy Society leaving a legacy, building a future When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support. You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family. Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists. To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please visit NashvilleSymphony.org/plannedgiving, or contact Hayden Pruett, Major Gifts Officer, at 615.687.6615
