ABOUT THE ARTISTS As original cast members of Broadway’s Jersey Boys, they took the world by storm in one of the biggest hits of all time. Now they are together again, becoming rock stars in their own right as The Midtown Men. Tony Award winner Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard and Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer are taking their sensational sound on the road, bringing to life their favorite hits from The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Motown, The Four Seasons and more. Formed in 2007, The Midtown Men reunites four stars from the original cast of Broadway’s Jersey Boys. Following their storied run on Broadway — where these four magnetic artists shared the stage for more than a thousand performances and appeared on The Today Show, The Late Show with David Letterman and Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve — they have been

selling out venues coast to coast, living the dream they once portrayed onstage. The Midtown Men is the next chapter for these accomplished entertainers, making them the first vocal group ever formed by the principal cast of a high-profile Broadway show. The past few years have been a whirlwind for The Midtown Men. Not only have they continued to win over audiences of all ages, but their self-titled debut album, The Midtown Men: Sixties Hits, was met with critical acclaim and garnered five-star reviews across iTunes. The album features the group performing such iconic ’60s hits as “Can’t Buy Me Love,” “Up on the Roof,” “Time of the Season,” “Candy Girl” and more. It is a testament to what The Midtown Men do best: helping to keep alive iconic music from the ’60s while giving it a new twist.
Sure, we’ve long been known for our undergraduate academic success. But there’s another group of students, already in the workplace, looking for a next step in their career. Many of them have found it with a master’s degree from Lipscomb. Last year, close to 1,700 professionals chose Lipscomb for an advanced degree— whether an entrepreneurial-driven MBA, a unique biomolecular science master’s that has already attracted students from
around the country, an informatics and analytics master’s helping IT specialists meet head-on real-world data trends and challenges, or one of more than 25 others offered on nights, weekends and online. In fact, our master’s programs have been so successful they’ve grown by 685% since 2005. A large number, indeed. But not all that surprising from a university whose growth has always been measured by how well it’s mastered its future.
We’ve mastered our growth in ways you may not expect.

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
P I P E R CHI L D R E N' S S E R I ES
DIRECTOR’S NOTE We believe that music like theater has the power to illuminate and transform. Our collaborations with symphony orchestras are inspired by a shared vision that by bringing together the magic of music and theater greater possibilities are born. Enchantment Theatre’s stories are myths, fables or authored fairy tales often drawn from older legends. We choose these stories because they are usually tales of startling transformation. The Firebird is the essence of such a story. Coupled with the brilliant Stravinsky score, this tale of physical and spiritual transformation is rich and finely textured. The journey of the Prince is a voyage of true self-discovery. Through the magic of live performance, actors, musicians and audience create a world of new possibilities for love and friendship. Let your imagination work as you join us on this journey. — Leslie Reidel, Resident Director
P I E D

HECTOR BERLIOZ CL A SS I C A L S E R I ES
Born on December 11, 1803, in La Côte-SaintAndré, France; died on March 8, 1869, in Paris Le Corsaire Overture Composed: 1844, subsequently revised First performance: The original version was premiered on January 19, 1845, at the Cirque Olympique in Paris, with the composer conducting. The revised version was first performed on April 8, 1854, in Braunschweig, Germany. First Nashville Symphony performance: Oct 25-26, 1976, with interim music advisor John Nelson Estimated length: 9 minutes
H
ector Berlioz owed some of his most significant inspirations to literature and the theater, but the overture known as Le Corsair is neither attached to an opera nor directly connected to a particular literary work, at least as far as can be known. Pesky program annotators have fostered a good deal of confusion, since the title seems so obviously to allude to a very popular narrative poem of the time by one of the composer’s literary idols: The Corsair, published by Lord Byron in 1814. But the genesis of the piece is a good deal more convoluted. Certainly Berlioz was intimately familiar with Byron’s bestseller. He fondly records 26
A PR I L 2 0 1 4
how he used to slip away during his student days in Rome to read about the adventures of Byron’s disaffected anti-hero (the pirate of the title), and he had drawn directly on another Byronic source for his large-scale Harold in Italy. But the overture’s title was an afterthought, appearing near the end of the process. In fact, Berlioz had already introduced an earlier version of this music as a concert overture called The Tower of Nice. He composed it while vacationing in that city, where he’d gone to forestall a nervous breakdown after his “Sisyphean labors” in Paris. From his perch in a tower room, he enjoyed the peaceful view of the Mediterranean, and no doubt he did think back to another troubled time in 1831, when he had recuperated in Nice after stopping there in a state of suicidal despair. In yet another stage of this work-in-progress, Berlioz applied the title Le Corsaire rouge, the French translation of the title of James Fenimore Cooper’s sea novel, The Red Rover. Berlioz, whose musical activities also included producing hugely ambitious concert events, surely realized that evoking Byron by association wasn’t a bad marketing ploy. Byron was still popular enough to inspire Verdi’s operatic take on The Corsair in the late 1840s.
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R Listeners are free to imagine any program they choose to accompany this extraordinary score, whether of splashing sea spray or ardent desire for adventure. Le Corsair, Berlioz’s last orchestral piece for the concert hall, makes incredible ensemble demands to exert its thrilling effect. A pair of gut-punch chords sets off an unbridled flurry in the strings, followed by offkilter woodwinds. Berlioz then steps back, slows the tempo, shifts away from the home key of C major, and presents one of his signature drawnout lyrical effusions. Delighted to catch us off guard, he revs up the excitement and returns to the fast music, now elaborating it with a proudly striding theme. Listen to the many variants to which this brilliant orchestrator subjects his theme throughout the piece, culminating in a triumphal brass outpouring. The seemingly unconnected slow, daydreaming music is also woven back in as a contrast to the forward thrust of the main
theme. In a rip-roaring coda, Berlioz attempts to intensify the sort of electrifying finale he found so stupendous in Beethoven’s music.
Le Corsair is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani and strings. CL A SS I C A L

s far back as his teenage years in Bonn, we can find evidence of Beethoven’s preoccupation with the concerto genre. He tried his hand at composing a piano concerto that, technically speaking, is the chronological No. 1, but only a piano score of this piece survives. The work that officially became known as the Piano Concerto No. 2 (Op. 17) has its origins in the Bonn years as well. At this very time, Mozart was producing his famous series of piano concertos in Vienna. For Mozart, keyboard concertos provided much-needed income to support his freelance career after he cut ties with his Salzburg patron, and they also kept his name before the public. When Beethoven resettled in 1792 in the “land of the clavier,” as his predecessor once described Vienna, he would repeat that pattern, relying on his talents as a keyboard performer to build a reputation. Contemporary diarists recorded the spellbinding effect of Beethoven’s performances in intimate recital-improvisations. These performances often resulted in snapped strings and splintered hammers, thanks to the more
delicate nature of the instruments available at the time. Beethoven was continually in search of a more expressive, more robust keyboard. Carl Czerny, a freakishly young prodigy when Beethoven took him on as a pupil, later recalled the charismatic impact made by his teacher’s improvisations: “There was something wonderful in his expression, in addition to the beauty and originality of his ideas and his spirited style of playing them.” Czerny added that Beethoven “would burst into loud laughter and banter his hearers” after seeing how his playing had brought many of them to tears. His fans became eager bystanders during the keyboard duels in which Beethoven challenged his rivals. As had been the case with Mozart, the concerto format proved useful to Beethoven because it showcased his art as both a composer and a performer, before his deafness reached the point when he could no longer function as a concert pianist. He was the soloist for four of his five piano concertos. The first three of these incorporate many of the tricks of the trade Beethoven had learned from Mozart, along with InConcert

several strategies by way of Haydn. It’s tempting to accuse Beethoven (and, some decades later, Chopin) of deliberately setting out to confuse posterity, since in each case their “First Piano Concerto” was chronologically the second to be composed. Though he had completed his Concerto in B-flat (No. 2) prior to this one, Beethoven made a savvy choice to hold off on publishing it, so that the more overtly brilliant Concerto in C major would be his first publication in the genre — thus making it clear that here was the real heir to Mozart, the dazzling new talent to whom attention must be paid.
W HAT TO LISTE LIST E N F OR Beethoven makes sure to evoke the poised grandeur of Mozart’s C major concertos in a lengthy Allegro con brio, but he teases us with a deceptively quiet initial statement of the first theme. The militaristic pomp and marchlike character of the first and third themes, emphasized by assertive trumpets and drums, make them close cousins. A lyrical second theme intervenes, but Beethoven has another trick in store: He makes us wait until the solo piano partners with the orchestra before allowing us to hear this melody unfold to completion. In other words, nothing will be rote or predictable here. At the same time, it’s a good way of indicating how Beethoven is thinking big in this first movement, creating architecture on the grand scale. The soloist’s entrance, by the way, is strangely oblique. In his fascinating study of all the Beethoven concertos, the musicologist Leon Plantinga points out that, throughout this entire movement, the piano comments and elaborates on the first theme but never actually quite plays the theme itself. Characterizing the rapport Beethoven sets up between the soloist and orchestra, he writes: “It is as if the mass of the orchestra is easily roused to overt, forceful action, while its leader favors a more nuanced, artful approach.” Beethoven takes the section in which these themes are developed as an occasion for an unusual harmonic odyssey, a fantasy of hushed suspense that continually reveals new angles on what had seemed such obvious and

straightforward material — even the long-shortshort pattern of the main theme’s rhythm. This culminates in a notoriously tricky right-hand octave sweep down the keyboard to launch the reprise. Here, as well as in an enormous alternative cadenza for the first movement cadenza that Beethoven later penned, we can obtain a good impression of what one of his wildly ranging improvisations must have sounded like. The Largo settles in a reposeful A-flat major far afield from the busy C major of the outer movements. It showcases Beethoven’s undeniable gift for serene melody, while its delivery and ornamentation are also important components of the virtuoso’s toolkit. Though he lightens the orchestral texture (no flutes or oboes, let alone trumpets and drums), Beethoven actually generates a new sound world, thanks in part to the solo clarinet’s role as a soulful partner for the piano’s rhapsodic meditations. This movement demands the utmost in what Czerny described as Beethoven’s “cantabile expression” and “refined tone and elegant delivery.” If Beethoven puts his own stamp on Mozart’s archetypal concerto in the first two movements, the finale represents an extremist take on Haydn’s vigorous, earthy humor. Listen for the contrasting central episode, a very scenic detour in A minor full of interesting new flavors. As for the main rondo tune itself — a catchy earworm — Beethoven restates its three reappearances with a delightfully engaging theatricality that is most notable before his final orchestral statement of the tune. Here the soloist strays into nearby but dangerously dissonant B major, as if trying to get everybody in trouble before the flute gingerly leads everyone back to the sure path of C major. In the coda, Beethoven unexpectedly introduces a brief spell of wistful nostalgia, only to pull the carpet out from underneath such indulgence with a final orchestral flourish. In addition to solo piano, the Concerto is scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.

ichard Strauss’ tone poems established his early reputation as a cutting-edge composer and — as far as his most vociferous critics were concerned — a dangerously avant-garde figure. The narrative power of his tone poems is hardly limited to feats of mimicry or illustrative wizardry. At a critical moment in music history — when, much as with the science of physics at the time, it seemed that all the great work had already been accomplished — Strauss stretched the ambitions of program music far beyond the usual literary points of reference exemplified by Macbeth and Don Juan, the first two in his series of tone poems. He also tackled abstract philosophical topics, taking on the moment when consciousness passes from life to death in Tod und Verklärung (Death

and Transfiguration) and the extreme self-reliance preached by Nietzsche in Also Sprach Zarathustra. Strauss approached each tone poem as a new challenge in terms of subject matter and formal design alike. Despite its prevalent use of quotations from the composer’s entire career to date, Ein Heldenleben stands apart in several respects. It represents Strauss’ most ambitious take on the tone poem in the decade since he had achieved his first genuine breakthrough in the format with Don Juan in 1888. And while Strauss had projected facets of his personality through the guise of the various characters and situations depicted in his preceding tone poems, Ein Heldenleben (“A Hero’s Life”) takes a turn toward the audaciously autobiographical. The notion that the hero of the title is to be equated with Strauss himself, though, is not so transparent as it might seem. By casting himself as the protagonist out to do battle against the world — his original working title for the piece was Held und Welt, “Hero and World” — Strauss fashions a self-conscious myth of the modern, post-Wagnerian artist that is full of humor and ambiguity amid all the posturing. Ein Heldenleben belongs to an era that also saw Gustav Mahler, Strauss’ contemporary, experimenting with the symphony as spiritual autobiography. Biographer Michael Kennedy aptly characterizes the work as allegorical in nature, where the battlefield “is of the spirit, of inner conflicts” — though even today some castigate the composer on the basis of their own unimaginative literalism. By anchoring this massive score in E-flat major, Strauss clearly invoked that touchstone for heroic symphonizing, Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony in E-flat — “admittedly, without a funeral march,” as he wryly noted. In a sense, though, Strauss had already covered the issue of the hero’s death in his third tone poem, Death and Transfiguration, for which he devised a scenario of the artist-protagonist in the final stages of a fatal illness.
CL A SS I C A L S E R I ES
his compositional art, undergirded by the basic outline of sonata form. There’s also a nod to Franz Liszt, the granddaddy of the tone poem, in Strauss’ implicit outline of a four-movement work — opening movement, scherzo (two actually), Adagio and grand conclusion — all within the single expanded sonata form, much like Liszt’s B-minor Piano Sonata. The protagonist steps into the spotlight immediately in the first section (“The Hero” — to cite the subtitles that were used in early performances of the work, though Strauss himself suppressed these from the published score). His emblem is a long unaccompanied theme whose wide span (several octaves spread over eight bars) suggests restless striving. This complex Hero theme is also easily fragmented and recombined with smaller units. Once the Hero is loosed upon the world, the sense of expectation becomes intensified by the stagey pause written into the score before the next section, “The Hero’s Adversaries.” Starting with querulously chromatic woodwinds, Strauss at first characterizes the Hero’s critics — and, by extension, the philistine rejection of art and innovation — as more of a nuisance than a serious threat. Eventually, the seductive voice of a solo violin comes into the foreground, segueing into the single longest section, “The Hero’s Companion.” Strauss sometimes uses his massive orchestral forces (including “lots of horns, which are the yardstick of heroism,” as he put it) like thick daubs of paint, but he also treats individual instruments with great precision to delineate particular roles. Here the first violin plays the part of the woman who is indispensable for the Hero’s quest. A cipher for Strauss’ wife, Pauline, she receives an astonishingly multifaceted portrayal in what amounts to a miniature concerto. It ranges from teasing flirtation, with promiscuous changes of key, to ardent passion as the music culminates in a swooning love scene. Signaled by fanfares from offstage trumpets, “The Hero’s Battlefield” builds tremendous storm and stress through heavy percussion and pugnacious dissonances that seem to come from all directions at once. This was considered the most “avant-garde” section by Strauss’
30
A PR I L 2 0 1 4
original critics — who, in this very passage, emerge as formidable opponents. The composer reconfigures his storehouse of themes in a quasidevelopment section that finds its way to an exultant recapitulation of the Hero theme, its opening glory recaptured. Already, Strauss had introduced several quotes from his own works. Now, in a section titled “The Hero’s Works of Peace,” he takes a survey of all the artist has accomplished, stitching together almost three dozen citations from his previous tone poems and other compositions into an imaginative montage. References to the tradition in which Strauss claims lineage, such as the world-weary harmonies of Wagner’s Tristan and a particularly striking brief snatch from the Eroica’s finale, find a place in Ein Heldenleben’s tapestry as well. The Eroica reference (an expectantly ascending scalar figure) occurs during the final section, which is titled “The Hero’s Retreat from the World and Fulfillment.” Strauss introduces this with transition music of magical beauty featuring a pastoral solo for English horn. The threat of the adversaries briefly intrudes yet again — a fit of paranoia even in the Hero’s retirement? — but it is swept away by consoling strains from the solo violin. The atmosphere of the final pages combines pathos with above-the-battle serenity, as the Hero, turning his gaze inward, retreats with his beloved. Ein Heldenleben ends in a spirit closer to elegy, though Strauss appends a sequence of proudly swelling chords to give a fully heroic closure. Ein Heldenleben is scored for piccolo, 3 flutes, 4 oboes (4th doubling English horn), 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 8 horns, 2 piccolo trumpets, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 2 tubas, timpani, percussion, 2 harps and strings. — Thomas May, the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator, is a writer and translator who covers classical and contemporary music.

Carlile helps fund the Foundation by donating $1 from each concert ticket she sells, as well as performing at several benefit concerts annually. Carlile’s most recent recording, Bear Creek, is named for the converted turn-of-the-century barn in Woodinville, Washington, where the album was recorded. In March 2011, she brought co-producer Trina Shoemaker and members of her “road family” — including multi-instrumentalists/songwriters Phil and Tim Hanseroth, cellist Josh Neumann and drummer Allison Miller — to Bear Creek, and together they spent the next month recording. They veered off into new musical territory, fusing classic rock ’n’ roll, folk, bluegrass and “pure soul” to create their own distinctive sound. “When I was growing up, I didn’t think for a second that Bob Dylan wasn’t a country singer or that Johnny Cash wasn’t a rock ’n’ roll singer,” Carlile says. “What mattered was what they were saying and what the instruments sounded like behind them. They weren’t following any trends, they just sounded great.”

he tension between art as pleasure and art as challenge is timeless. Certainly, Mozart was no stranger to the pressure of writing music that obliged the taste and expectations of his audience. But he developed a reputation among contemporaries as a “difficult” composer through his provocative innovations within the musical language and forms he inherited. All three works we hear on this program exemplify this forwardthinking, ambitious side of Mozart’s genius. The Symphony in G minor, the earliest of these works, is the product of Mozart’s years in Salzburg. Tours away from home would have opened his eyes and ears to tantalizing possibilities. Just before writing this music, the 17-year-old had returned from a visit to Vienna, and a longer sojourn in Italy had preceded that trip. How frustrating it must have been to return to what seemed the shackles of his court job in provincial Salzburg. One of several major drawbacks about Salzburg, as far as Mozart was concerned, was the lack of an opera house. Opera was the medium toward which his greatest ambitions tended. It’s worth noting that the “stormy” rhetoric heard in the Symphony in G minor recalls the tempestuous brand of symphonies the older Haydn was writing at this time, which in turn evoked the dramatic orchestral writing that had been pioneered by opera composers. This is the earliest of Mozart’s

symphonies to give us a sustained taste of the mature composer and his highly individual style.
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R Much ink has been spilled about this being one of only two in Mozart’s entire catalogue of 40plus symphonies to be anchored in a minor key. G minor was also Mozart’s choice for the symphonic masterpiece immediately preceding the “Jupiter” Symphony. This is a significant fact, since we know that Mozart associated particular keys with certain general types of emotions. He connected G minor with a kind of tragic pathos (as opposed to the volatility and even demonic violence of D minor). Yet attempts to psychologize the actual musical expression here — as we find in the film Amadeus, which makes the opening moments into a sonic emblem for the troubled composer — will always be merely speculative at best. Those moments do, however, represent one of the boldest opening gestures to be found in Mozart. He begins red-hot, with a harmonically restless theme shaped by throbbing, syncopated rhythms. This Allegro con brio (the precise tempo Beethoven would designate for the first movement of his Fifth) is high drama, made all the more intense by Mozart’s effective contrast of long notes sustained by the oboe against the strings’ churning figures. Mozart expert Neal Zaslaw points out the unusual feature of the

scoring for four horns, which gives an extra “solidity” to the sound world of the two outer movements. The score asks for repeats of the exposition and of the development and reprise, with an especially grim-sounding return of the second theme in the home minor key. For the sonata-form Andante, Mozart resorts to the veiled texture of muted violins, and he re-imagines the stock conventional gesture of the falling “sigh” in surprising ways. The Minuet recalls the driving pathos of the first movement with another dramatic use of stern octaves; the strings step to the side for a “winds only” Trio, a temporary respite from the tragic mood. Rounding off this remarkable early work is a surging finale. Once again, the main theme is announced first in commanding octaves, and Mozart exploits its dotted rhythm to underscore a sense of unity throughout the movement. Unlike the later “victory” symphonies beloved of the Romantics, there is no escape at the end from the minor key, which presses on with relentless, harried determination. The Symphony in G minor is scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 4 horns and strings.

ozart’s abrupt break in 1781 from the suffocating security provided by his Salzburg employer opened the door to a bold new phase of his career. From now on, he would try to make it as a freelance artist in Vienna. Those first few years in what was the epicenter for musical life in Central Europe were flush with a sense of hope and possibility for the composer. Mozart worked his way through the complexities of Viennese social and musical politics to carve

out a niche, combining private lessons with public concert appearances that featured himself as keyboard soloist. His virtuosity captured the attention of the fickle Viennese audience, and these concerts also served as vehicles to introduce his latest work as a composer. Earlier, in Salzburg, Mozart had composed a handful of piano concertos. But his situation in Vienna during the early 1780s inspired him to formulate an ideal synthesis of elements in his concertos. In many ways, what Mozart did for the concerto was parallel to what Haydn had accomplished for the symphony. He turned a medium known for its entertainment value into a playground of invention and intricate architectural thinking, while further defining parameters of the High Classical style. As for his actual style of performing at the keyboard, we lack the kinds of descriptions by contemporaries that have been handed down for Mozart’s successor as Vienna’s great virtuosocomposer, Beethoven. One of Mozart’s own early letters refers to a performance that “went like oil. Everybody praised my beautiful, pure tone.” In his book Great Pianists, Harold C. Schonberg surmises that “Mozart’s playing illustrated the classic ideal. It did not have extreme dynamics. Rather, it was temperate, regulated, and had a legato that ‘flowed like oil.’ He prided himself on his tone and his technical accuracy… He could play fast when he wanted to. Above all, he had flawless rhythm.” Mozart delighted in the innovations he knew would be appreciated by connoisseurs. At the same time, he had to make a living, and he expressed his pride in the commercial appeal of these works. As the biographer Robert Gutman has remarked, the piano concerto “became the symbol of his ascending popularity, the very core of his extraordinary success in Vienna.” We know that the special concert at which he introduced this C major Concerto, in March 1785, turned out to be quite lucrative. Within a short time, though, the economy soured, and the public’s taste for these kinds of works diminished. Mozart, who had already had an operatic hit the year after he settled in Vienna with The Abduction from the Seraglio, would have an

Miracles that Mozart’s masterpieces are, the contexts in which they appeared make them all the more miraculous. He crafted the Piano Concerto No. 21 hot on the heels of one of his greatest works, the Piano Concerto in D minor, K. 466. (As with the symphonies, there exist only two minor-key piano concertos by Mozart.) I’ve always liked to think of these as counterparts, something like the twin tragic and comic masks representing ancient Greek theater. But if No. 21 is a comedy, this is comedy with a Shakespearean abundance of ideas, playfulness tinged (in the middle movement) with poignancy and pathos. There’s also a symphonic sensibility at work in the impressive architectural scale and expanse of the first movement. Mozart begins with one of his characteristic march themes but then extends this into a lovely, more lyrical thought, adding complexity and setting a pattern of generosity

with ideas in this movement. He loves to play with expectations, and the “set up” for the soloist’s entry is always a moment that demands keen attention and then surprises us. Much as he created a specific soundscape through his measured use of orchestral forces in the G minor Symphony, here Mozart deploys trumpets and drums — a well-known convention to elicit a certain festive sensibility. But the very scope of this movement places its more extroverted moments in relief against the piano’s musings and its tender dialogue with the woodwinds. The analogy with opera to which I’ve reverted a couple times is most apt in the Andante, an aria of profound beauty and emotional nuance. This music represents an example par excellence of Mozart marrying entertainment with audacious compositional maneuvers. The boldness here resides in both the extreme length of the melody as it unspools and the shifting, unpredictable harmonic field in which Mozart sets it. Even the excellent biographer Solomon gets carried away by the impossible task of conveying the essence of this Andante: “Mozart essays an entire movement of unrelieved, time-stopping beauty, blending chromatic pathos and measured tranquility, sustaining a line of overarching beauty until the distant double-bar, which is to say, for something just short of eternity.” Like a Shakespeare comedy, a concerto of such richness requires more than a pro forma resolution to bring it to a satisfying close. Mozart obliges with a scintillating rondo finale built around a smile-inducing theme complete with a rhythmic “kick” to push it forward. The genial interplay between orchestra and piano reenacts before us today the spell Mozart knew how to cast as a celebrity in Vienna.

Along with their practical benefits, for many listeners the mature piano concertos evoke both the wit and lyrical depth that Mozart would perfect in his later operas, even suggesting a kind of voiceless opera, with the solo piano, of course, as protagonist. The handbill advertising the concert on which “Kapellmeister Mozart” presented the “just finished forte piano concerto” (No. 21) drew attention to a special enhancement mechanism: “an especial large forte piano pedale will be used by him for improvising.” Zaslaw explains that this refers to a custom-built “legless fortepiano which lay on the floor underneath his regular piano. It was played by means of a pedalboard with the feet, as an organ is played (and Mozart was a skilled organist). Mozart used it to reinforce the low notes in improvising fantasias and playing piano concertos.”

ozart’s symphonies span a quarter century, from 1764 to 1788 — a good portion of the composer’s life. The distance traveled between the first of these (K. 16), written in London when Mozart was 8, and the last, the “Jupiter,” is more striking than that covered between Beethoven’s First and Ninth. Here is nothing less than a paradigm shift in the concept of the symphony, a shift from disposable, lightweight entertainment to the kind of enduring artistic statement we associate with Beethoven and more recent masters of the genre. It’s a little odd to speak of the “Jupiter” in isolated terms, since it really belongs to a trilogy of works that Mozart created within the space of about six weeks in the summer of 1788. He had just suffered a crushing blow when his opera Don Giovanni (a hit at its Prague premiere) failed to impress the Viennese. The magnificent piano concertos that had been a mainstay for him were going out of fashion, and the economy was by now in a bad state. Yet, somehow, Mozart rallied to write not just one but three symphonic masterpieces back to back, and each of them is utterly distinctive. A year before violent revolution in France would topple generations of comforting certainties, these acts of pure music, unattached to church or stage, resonate with the dignity of the 18th-century Enlightenment’s quest for an ordered world. The fact that these last three symphonies do not appear to have been commissioned has added to their legendary quality, so that for a long time they were believed to be a rare instance of “art for art’s sake.” They seemed to represent what Mozart scholar Alfred Einstein liked to think of as “an appeal to eternity.” But recent scholarship has disputed the notion that Mozart had no practical use for these symphonies in mind, as well as

the frequent claim that he never heard them performed. There is even arguable evidence for a performance of the Symphony No. 40 in G minor in Mozart’s time. As for No. 41, the nickname “Jupiter” does postdate the composer. This epithet was conferred posthumously, and it reinforces the aura of immortality. But it’s also hard to argue with. This C major symphony consummates a Classical perfection of form so convincingly that it seems decidedly worthy of being likened to the ancient Roman king of the gods (if not, perhaps, the fifth planet in our solar system).
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The powerful chords that set the first movement in motion may have suggested the stunning thunderbolts associated with the Jovian nickname. But this opening, so grand yet graceful, also brings to mind Goethe’s famous observation that music is “frozen architecture.” The repeated chords and the pauses between are indeed analogous to a line of majestic columns giving us entrée into a beautifully ordered structure. Even more, they are crucial to the movement’s framework, binding together Mozart’s abundance of invention. The inclusion of trumpet and emphatic use of timpani add weight to the sonority. Throughout the movement, Mozart plays with the pauses he introduced at the opening so as to heighten suspense. Even at its most abstract, his musical thought crackles with dramatic energy. The contrasting theme, starting with a rising chromatic figure in the strings and erupting into mirth-filled trills, almost seems to wander in from the world of Figaro. Like the corresponding movement of the Piano Concerto No. 21, with which it shares certain features, the Andante is in F major. Mozart’s delicate orchestration calls for muted strings. Their veiled texture interlaces to magical effect with contributions from the woodwinds. A dreamy, at times bittersweet atmosphere is the result, while a beautifully ornamented coda to the chief melody flutters with quasi-vocal turns. Once more, Mozart subtly contrasts pauses with tutti orchestral chords as a structural feature. The Minuet’s opening gesture, a rushing

Sought-after as a guest conductor throughout the world, Seaman has appeared with orchestras in North America, Israel, Eastern Europe, the Far East, Australia and New Zealand, as well as in his native Great Britain, where he has served as principal conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony and the Northern Sinfonia. Seaman’s recent and upcoming guestconducting engagements in North America include the symphony orchestras of Milwaukee, Vancouver, Seattle, Columbus and Utah, as well returns to the Naples Philharmonic, Pacific Symphony, and the Aspen and Chautauqua Music festivals. Abroad, he makes his debut this season with the Hangzhou Philharmonic Orchestra, and he returns to Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia and the Orquestra Nacional do Porto. Seaman’s recordings include performances with the Royal Philharmonic, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the National Youth Orchestra of Britain. Most recently, he has released an all-Vaughan Williams recording on Harmonia Mundi, an album of works by Tchaikovsky with pianist Olga Kern, and a recording of works by Rachmaninov with Jon Nakamatsu, all with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Seaman makes a point of encouraging young talent and has held the post of course director of the Symphony Australia Conductor Development program for many years, devoting a number of weeks each season to teaching and directing training programs for young conductors. He has put his wealth of experience as a conductor and a teacher into his first book, Inside Conducting, which was published in July 2013.

chromatic descent, is neatly tucked into the expected triple meter — a harmonic touch that spices the sense of home key ahead of the full apotheosis Mozart reserves for C major in his finale. This extraordinary conclusion is the cornerstone of the “Jupiter.” It’s a perfect marriage of Mozart’s most mature Classical sensibility and impeccable dramatic instincts with all the musical knowledge he had gained through his recent studies of Bach and Handel — the glories of the Baroque. In these last symphonies, the finale functions as a full-scale counterweight to what has come before, nowhere more so than in this final summation. Mozart makes the finale a structurally solid gravitational center — indeed, the key to the whole work. How? By fusing the clarity of Classical sonata form with complex, yet miraculously effortless-seeming counterpoint. The first part of the finale presents several relatively brief thematic ideas, the most predominant of which is the four-note motto (CDFE, a formula familiar from its liturgical use and also found in music by Haydn). This is the motto we hear at the outset. After an already extensive development of these ideas, Mozart leads us into one of the most incandescent passages in the symphonic literature, weaving a massive, grandly contrapuntal coda in which all of his themes share the spotlight and yet fuse into something larger: music of sovereign assurance and life-affirming energy.
technique with romantic sensitivity” (Birmingham News), he has gained worldwide recognition. Lupo’s 2013/14 season includes North American appearances with the Domaine Forget International Festival, St. Louis Symphony, Columbus Symphony and Louisiana Philharmonic; recital performances in Vancouver and Cincinnati; international appearances with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana, Orchestre Philharmonique des Pays de Loire and Malaysian Philharmonic. After winning the bronze medal in the 1989 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, Lupo made acclaimed debuts with several major American orchestras, as well as chamber appearances with the Tokyo String Quartet. His New York City recital debut at Alice Tully Hall followed in 1992, the same year he won the Terence Judd International Award, which led to his debut at London’s Wigmore Hall.
In Europe, Lupo has appeared in his native Italy with the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana, Santa Cecilia Symphony, Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, Orchestra Sinfonica Abruzzese, the National RAI Orchestra (Torino) and the festivals of Brescia and Bergamo. His recordings include Nino Rota’s Concerto Soirée with the Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana on the Nuova Era label, and a new recording of the same work on Harmonia Mundi for which he received the prestigious Diapason d’Or award. Lupo teaches at the Nino Rota Conservatory in Italy, gives master classes around the world, and has served on the jury of both the Cleveland International Competition and the Gina Bachauer Competition in Salt Lake City, from which he previously won second and third prize, respectively. He is featured in the Emmy-award winning documentary Here to Make Music: The Eighth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

The Nashville Symphony is committed to serving Nashville with worldclass music and education programs not just for today, but for generations to come. If you share the same vision for your orchestra and your community, please consider making a planned gift to the Nashville Symphony. Your gift will leave a lasting impact on Middle Tennessee and beyond! You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — it’s true! By making the Nashville Symphony the beneficiary of your will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy or other estate planning vehicle, you’ll help guarantee our financial strength tomorrow without affecting your cash flow or your family’s financial stability today. The Legacy Society honors those who include a gift to the Nashville Symphony in their estate plans. Accepting our offer of membership allows us to honor your future gift and to say “thank you” now. Be “instrumental” in our success by sharing your passion for music with future generations. For more information on the many creative ways to make a planned gift, please visit www.nashvillesymphony.org/plannedgiving or call

The Joy of Recognition: Be Anonymous No More Any planned gift you create helps the Nashville Symphony build a secure future. You can multiply the result of your gift if you take just one more step: Do not remain anonymous. Please allow us to publicly acknowledge the fact that you have made a bequest or created another type of planned gift to the Nashville Symphony. You can share as much or as little information as you want: just your name, or your whole life story. Whatever you do will be helpful to our organization in several important ways. Plus, sharing your story can be an affirming experience for you. Letting others know about your personal commitment to the Nashville Symphony inspires people who may be considering such a gift. You help dispel the myth that planned giving is too complex. It makes other donors feel more comfortable giving if they know you have already done so. You can feel good about setting an example that encourages philanthropy and strengthens our future.
