So as I reflect on these programs and the many others that we have enjoyed during the past six years, I am grateful for the support of everyone who makes these concerts possible. At the top of the list are our phenomenal musicians and staff, who consistently produce concert excellence every time. It has been a tremendous honor to serve this orchestra as both a musician and as its CEO. To our donors and patrons, we cannot thank you enough. My parting request is that you will continue to treasure and nurture this very special ensemble. While we have made great progress, there is much more that can be accomplished and your support can make it possible. I will carry many fond memories with me and I hope you will continue to make more with every performance. n

I am so pleased that my final concerts as Executive Director of the HSO will include three sold-out performances of the fourth installment in the Harry Potter™ film series and a Halekulani Masterworks that features one of our own amazing musicians and my longtime colleague, Principal Oboist J. Scott Janusch. Scott performs the debut of a work for oboe and orchestra on his new oboe made of 300-year-old kauila wood. The piece was written by my friend, Jon Magnussen, inspired by the history and culture of the place that I have called home for 21 years.

SYMPHONY NO. 1 IN D, OP.25 “CLASSICAL” SYMPHONY Serge Prokofiev In February 1917, Russian peasantry revolted against the Tsarist regime, overthrowing a centuries-old monarchy in favor of a provisional government. Eight months later the Bolsheviks replaced the provisional government, establishing Soviet rule in Russia and changing the face of world politics. During this tumultuous period, Serge Prokofiev composed his First Symphony, a work miraculously free of any reference to the chaotic events transpiring at the time.

b. Sontzovka, Ukraine 23 April, 1891 d. Moscow, USSR 5 March, 1953 First performed by the HSO

The “Classical” Symphony is justifiably associated with Haydn; Prokofiev himself acknowledged his idea of writing a symphony such as Haydn might have composed had he lived until the twentieth century. But the real challenge for him in this work was to write without the piano. He

5 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT SERGE PROKOFIEV 1. A Child Prodigy Prokofiev’s musical ambitions were fueled by hearing his mother playing Chopin and Beethoven on the piano in the evenings. He composed his first piano piece at five and his first opera aged nine. 2. Family Man After the Russian Revolution, Prokofiev left his homeland with the Soviet Union’s official blessing. He lived in the USA, then Germany and Paris, during which time he married Spanish singer, Carolina Codina, with whom he had two sons. 3. Prokofiev and Stravinsky Prokofiev and his compatriot Stravinsky were friends, although Prokofiev did not enjoy Stravinsky’s later works. Stravinsky modestly described Prokofiev as the greatest Russian composer of his day, after himself. 4. Chess master Prokofiev was a passionate chess player who became friends with world chess champions José Raúl Capablanca, whom he beat in 1914, and Mikhail Botvinnik. 5. Overshadowed by Stalin Prokofiev died at the age of 61 on 5 March 1953, the day Stalin’s death was announced. For three days as the throngs gathered to mourn Stalin, it was impossible to carry Prokofiev’s body out of his home for burial.

intentionally removed himself from the piano, believing that melodies conceived without its aid were simply better melodies. Prokofiev also harbored the hope that, in dubbing the work “Classical,” he might encourage it actually becoming a classic. In fact, that is exactly what happened, and with good reason. The work is a masterful achievement in economy of means. With small performing forces, miniature scale of movements, and effective understatement, Prokofiev did indeed create a timeless masterpiece. His transparent clarity pays homage to the elegant eighteenth-century style of Haydn and Mozart; his ironic sense of humor and inventive modulations tie the work to the present century. The “Classical” Symphony is scored for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, trumpets and horns in pairs; timpani and strings. n —Laurie Shulman © 2019


SYMPHONY NO.5 IN B-FLAT MAJOR, D.485 Franz Schubert Schubert’s early symphonies are far less well known than his later ones, the “Unfinished” in B minor and the “Great” C major Symphony. Some remarkable music rewards the curious listener who seeks out these youthful instrumental works. It is a truism to observe that Schubert could not have written the magnificent symphonic works of his maturity without having undergone the learning process inherent in the earlier pieces. Although Mozart and Haydn were his presumed symphonic models, the distinctive and individual signs of Schubert’s own musical personality are already manifest.

b. Liechtenthal, Vienna, Austria 31 January, 1797 d. Vienna, Austria 19 November, 1828 First performed by the HSO

The Symphony No. 5 in B-flat is the best of the early symphonies, perhaps because of its modesty. It is a chamber symphony, lacking clarinets, trumpets, or timpani. (The scoring matches that of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K.550.) Schubert’s biographer John Reed describes it as:

Approximate Duration

[T]he sunniest and most lyrical of all the symphonies. . . . a work which bears in every bar the stamp of his own lyrical genius, while the spirit of Mozart seems to brood benignly over it. Schubert composed it in September 1816, completing the score on 3 October. A burst of productivity that had carried through from the previous year. During calendar 1816, Schubert composed more than 100 songs, two acts of an opera, another symphony, more than a dozen sacred and secular choral pieces, three violin sonatinas and several other chamber works – all on top of his full time job as a schoolmaster. The completion of this symphony coincided with his decision to abandon the teaching position he detested in favor of the riskier career of a freelance composer. He left his family’s house in order to move into Vienna, which remained his home for the rest of his life. Like most of Schubert’s early symphonies, this one remained unpublished until the 1880s, when the German house of Breitkopf & Härtel made a first attempt at a Schubert collected works edition. Only then did the FRANZ SCHUBERT GOT HIS OWN MEMORIAL IN THE STADTPARK, VIENNA, IN 1872. DESIGNED BY SCULPTOR CARL KUNDMANN, THE SCULPTURE SHOWS SCHUBERT SITTING PENSIVELY, POISED TO PUT DOWN NOTES ON PAPER. THE BASE OF THE STATUE HAS THREE RELIEFS DEDICATED TO THE THEMES MUSICAL IMAGINATION, INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC, AND VOCAL MUSIC. THE STATUE WAS FINANCED BY THE VIENNESE MALE VOICE CHOIR – AN INSTITUTION THAT CONTINUES TODAY.

Symphony No.5 enter the popular symphonic repertoire. Schubert did hear a performance shortly after he composed it; in fact, he likely played viola in the performance. By 1816 the Schubert family string quartet had expanded into a quasi-professional chamber orchestra that met at the home of its conductor, Otto Hatwig. The limited resources of that select group probably accounts for the intimate character of the music. Schubert’s music is cheerful and bouncy, particularly in the outer two movements. The sentimental Andante has some unusual modulations and imaginative scoring for woodwinds. But the most singular movement is unquestionably the Minuet, whose G minor tonality and unexpected severity make its Mozartean ancestry apparent. The score calls for one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings. n

HAWA I‘ I SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

NĀ KAU ‘ELUA | THE TWO SEASONS CONCERTO FOR OBOE AND ORCHESTRA WITH WESTERN AND HAWAI‘IAN PERCUSSION AND NATURAL SOUNDS Jon Magnussen Nā Kau ‘Elua | The Two Seasons has two stories. Actually, it has multiple tales, but in the big picture, the oboe that J. Scott Janusch plays is an independent saga from Jon Magnussen’s new work. Both the instrument and the music are intimately linked to Hawai‘i’s rich culture and heritage. Mr. Janusch’s legacy oboe is crafted from wood from a kauila tree [alphitonia ponderosa] native to Kōkeʻe, Kauaʻi. The tree from which the oboe is made is believed to have been – based on the width of its trunk – approximately three hundred years old. After being damaged in a 1980s hurricane, the tree was reclaimed by Ed Kaʻiwi of Anahola. He passed a large piece of it on to luthier Mickey Sussman, who makes guitars and ukuleles from kauila, koa, and other native Hawaiian woods. Sussman was aware that, for years, oboist J. Scott Janusch had thought about commissioning a new oboe crafted from Hawaiian wood, with the thought that the instrument would be a legacy gift to the people of Hawai‘i. Accordingly, he gave some of it to Janusch. Kauila wood is noted for its hardness and density; it will sink in water. Janusch wasn’t certain about the suitability of the kauila wood for a woodwind instrument, but there was one way to find out. He commissioned Howarth of London, an internationally known maker of oboes, English horns, oboes d’amore, clarinets, and bassoons, to craft the new oboe. Howarth’s director, Jeremy Walsworth, was unfamiliar with kauila (most oboes are made from African grenadilla wood).

b. Masanga, Sierra Leone 28 December 1967 These performances are an HSO premiere. This is the world premiere of the orchestral version Approximate Duration 42 minutes

Understandably, Walsworth hesitated to take on the project. In the event, the process took two years, much of which was spent curing the wood until it was stable. Janusch was pleased with the result, particularly the instrument’s accuracy of pitch and overall tonal consistency. “This can serve as a unique bridge between ancient culture and today’s culture,” he said last spring at the time of the chamber version premiere. “The resource is so old, and so special, that it can serve a role as an ambassador, raising awareness about the need to preserve the ’āina, the importance of the resource and its significance. With support from the Hawaiian Oboe Legacy Project and Live Music Awareness, Janusch then commissioned University of Hawai‘i– West Oʻahu Associate Professor Jon Magnussen to write a piece for oboe that would also be a legacy gift to the Hawaiian people. He requested that the work exist in two versions: one for chamber ensemble, and the other with full orchestra. The oboe part is substantially the same in both versions. Magnussen’s chamber version was first performed last May in conjunction with the season finale

of Chamber Music Hawai‘i. November 9 and 10, we hear the premiere performances of the full orchestra version. Both versions employ Western instruments along with Hawaiian percussion instruments made of bamboo and kauila wood. Magnussen also recorded the sounds of the Kōkeʻe forest to be played at strategic points in the score. And that leads us to the second chapter of this story. Magnussen organized Nā Kau ‘Elua | The Two Seasons in two principal parts corresponding to Hawai‘i’s wet and dry seasons. Each half comprises six individual movements inspired by an aspect of Hawaiian culture or a Hawaiian legend. All twelve segments feature a concept or object historically crafted from kauila wood. Dr. Magnussen’s composer’s note elaborates. The po’e kahiko [people of old Hawai‘i] were well known to use their natural resources in sustainable ways. Nā Kau ʻElua | The Two Seasons celebrates the slow-growing kauila wood, a resource used year-round by the po’e kahiko. The 12-movement design reflects the 12 lunar months of the Hawaiian year, which is divided into two seasons. The words ‘rare’ and ‘endangered’ are often used in connection with kauila wood, but in a not-too-distant past, kauila wood was an everyday companion to the po’e

kahiko, well known for its excellent durability and heft, and for making a wide variety of durable and useful objects, from kapa beaters [iʻe kuku] and war clubs [lā’au pālau] to netting needles [hi’a kā ‘upena] and bowl repairing pegs [kui lā’auI]. To honor this relationship between the po’e kahiko and kauila wood, each of the 12 movements of Nā Kau ʻElua | The Two Seasons is inspired by a mo’olelo [story] featuring a concept or object traditionally made of kauila wood. In recognition of the significant age of the wood [in Janusch’s kailua oboe], Nā Kau ʻElua | The Two Seasons was composed using ‘reclaimed’ musical materials from Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons (1721), a group of four concertos from roughly the same time as when the Kōke’e kauila seedling began to grow. While the Hawai‘an Oboe Legacy Project extends the life and voice of a beautiful old kauila tree, it also reminds us of the fragility of our planet. Change is a constant, and changes to our world are inevitable. But to many of our native species like the kauila, devastating change is occurring now in the form of losses of habitat from the invasive presence of non-native, habitat-modifying plants, animals, and diseases. When a species disappears, our planet’s biodiversity weakens, negatively affecting our planet’s health as well as our own. The po‘e kahiko practiced aloha ’āina – literally ‘love of the land’ – a practice that recognized the reciprocal relationship between the land and its people and required sustainable stewardship of the āina, land and sea. We in the 21st century have much to learn from the po‘e kahiko as we navigate our present and our future.

The twelve movements of Magnussen’s Nā Kau ‘Elua | The Two Seasons richly evoke the sounds of nature: wind and water, birds and tree foliage in the breeze, the rhythms of life and movement in our islands. Textures are spare and transparent, allowing the unusual timbre of the kailua oboe to favor its lyrical, bucolic tone color. Each of the vignettes is relatively short, but they share a commonality of atmosphere that unify the whole of Nā Kau ‘Elua | The Two Seasons, giving the music a compelling and natural flow. Jon Magnussen earned both his master’s and doctoral degrees at New York’s Juilliard School, studying composition with Robert Beaser. He participated in seminars with John Corigliano, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich, and William Bolcom. He also holds degrees from the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied with Jean-Paul Holstein, and Cornell University, where he studied composition with Steven Stucky and conducting with Karel Husa. Magnussen was Artist-in-Residence at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton from 2000-2007. He has served on the faculty of University of Hawai‘i West O’ahu since 2011. Magnussen’s score calls for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets (2nd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons (2nd doubling contrabassoon), 3 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones,

tuba, timpani, a large percussion complement requiring 3 players and 3 kapa cultural practitioners [Western percussion: marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, crotales, triangle, suspended cymbal, and 4 woodblocks; Hawaiian percussion: 2 pū’ili (split bamboo), 2 kāla’au (kauila wood sticks for dancing), 4 i’e kuku (kapa beaters), played by cultural practitioners; bass drum, and 4 tom toms], harp, piano, taped nature sounds, solo oboe, and strings. n
