2024 粤港澳大湾区(广东) 国际青年音乐周

音乐总监的信

由广东省文化和旅游厅主办、广州交响乐团和星海音乐厅共同承办、著名指挥家

2024 年,我初次担任粤港澳大湾区(广东)国际青年音乐周(YMCG)的音乐总监。我深感荣幸,受到余隆大师

余隆先生担任艺术委员会主席、著名大提琴家马友友担任艺术总监、已连续举办

的邀请,将跟随前任艺术总监马友友先生的足印,承继前人的积淀,带领来自亚洲并超越亚洲范围的青年音乐家们,

六届的广东国际青年音乐周(简称“YMCG”),在 2023 年迎来了新的发展机遇,

共同为高水平的管弦乐演奏而努力。

升格成为粤港澳大湾区(广东)国际青年音乐周(简称仍为“YMCG”)。YMCG 是原广东国际青年音乐周的英文标识和简称,由青年(Youth)、音乐(Music)、

此次,我将与 YMCG 乐团携手演绎莫扎特的《降 E 大调小提琴与中提琴交响协奏曲》以及德沃夏克的《E 小调第

文化(Culture )、广东(Guangdong )这四个核心关键词的英文首字母组成。

九交响曲(自新大陆)》。我们有幸邀请到两位世界级的独奏家薇尔德·弗朗与阿米哈·格罗斯兹同台演奏莫扎特的经

现在,G 则是大湾区(the Greater Bay Area,简称 GBA )的第一个字母。从

典之作。德沃夏克的交响曲备受听众喜爱,音乐家们将借此机会展开热烈讨论,反复锤炼演奏细节,并在演出中展现

广东到粤港澳大湾区概念提升的背后,是不忘本来、吸收外来、面向未来,建设

风采。一切美好由此开启,未来五年的音乐之旅即将展开。让人心潮澎湃的是,在首场 YMCG 广州音乐会上,我将指

中华民族现代文明,深化拓展对外传播,让中国故事、湾区声音传遍四面八方的

挥作曲家梁皓一先生创作的《天穹之志:大湾华章》全球首演,对此我感到非常激动。

初心。 届时,来自柏林爱乐乐团、维也纳爱乐乐团、圣切契利亚国立音乐学院管弦乐团、伦敦交响乐团等顶级乐团的优 从 2024 年起,YMCG 将由大湾区内五大国际知名音乐机构:来自广东的广州交

秀管弦乐演奏家将共聚一堂。我们的音乐导师团队将以小组形式与青年音乐学子密切互动,并与 YMCG 乐团一同参与

响乐团、星海音乐厅、深圳交响乐团,来自香港特别行政区的香港管弦乐团和来

音乐会的排练和正式演出。能够与众多来自国际顶级交响乐团、拥有不同文化背景的卓越音乐家们一同演奏,是一次

自澳门特别行政区的澳门乐团共同承办。新的 YMCG 仍由著名指挥家、YMCG

千载难逢的机会。

项目发起人余隆先生担任艺委会主席,著名指挥家丹尼尔·哈丁则将担任 20242028 五届 YMCG 的音乐总监。

在 2024 年的 YMCG 活动中,我们将深入探寻在管弦乐团中演奏的内涵,探索组建世界一流交响乐团的关键要素。 为此,我们制定了一个方案,让青年音乐学员有机会参与到完整的交响乐团演奏排练,以及分声部排练和室内乐小组

YMCG 项目在 2017 年首次举办时,中国权威专业媒体《音乐周报》曾以“翻开中

演奏中。在此期间,学员均会获得全明星阵容的导师们的指导。除了演奏交响乐曲目之外,我非常期待学员们组成各

国交响乐崭新的一页”为题做了深度报道。多年来,YMCG 项目还获得国际业界

种小型重奏组,共同演绎莫扎特、德沃夏克、施特劳斯以及卢托斯拉夫斯基、伊贝尔以及马尔科姆·阿诺德的作品。

广泛关注,包括美国 Strings ,Violin Channel , 英国 The Strad , Gramophone ,

BBC Music Magazine , 澳洲 Limelight 等专业媒体都曾派代表在广州驻场作专题

我非常期待在音乐周期间为大家举行公开活动,让学员们和公众可以向一众导师提出问题。这将会是非常有趣的 交流,我们将聆听并比较不同导师的回答,与大家分享各位导师的独特见解。此外,我将与我敬重的余隆大师一起,

报道。2023 年 7 月,YMCG 项目获得“中国音乐艺术推动力量”奖。

共同举行一场关于指挥生涯的对话,分享我自己从职业生涯初期到同时作为指挥家和飞行员的“斜杠”人生! 在 YMCG,我们拥抱好奇心,追求卓越,不懈演奏,珍视这条由音乐连接起来的特殊纽带。我很高兴能与如此优 秀的青年音乐学子和同事一起参与这个项目,热切期待在广州与大家相会!

曲目介绍

该曲题献给首演担任独奏的约阿希姆,尽管事前的练习并不足够,但首演仍相当成功,颇获佳评,莱比锡的乐评人阿尔弗 雷德·多费尔(Alfred Dorffel)在《莱比锡新闻报》上撰文报道:“第一乐章未能让听众注意到作品中新颖之处,但第二 乐章则予人留下非常真实的印象,终乐章则充满了欢乐。”首演便能赢得好评的原因在于作品的交响性,独奏小提琴在曲

“南越千年事,兴怀一旦来。歌钟非旧俗,烟月有层台…” ——《广州试越台怀古》

谑的乐句并行出现,最明显的是在第二乐章中。整体而言,该曲如同勃拉姆斯前一年夏天所写的第二交响曲,充满了

作品从黄滔的诗中有感而发,力图用五音繁会的交响音乐语言来展现一个千年都会的调性:繁华与市井并存,古旧与 现代交织;它既有热闹、喧嚣的一面,也有轻盈、恬静的一面。当我们听到乐曲里中国民族音调与现代和声、爵士节 拍的结合时,我们是否也听到了一个千年都会的声音?

有如“阳光灿烂”般,无忧无虑的欢愉喜悦。 全曲由三个乐章构成,乐思富于变化,有深度,明快、沉着而有份量,规模比较大,结构严密,音乐充实,富有交响性。 第一乐章:采用严格的古典奏鸣曲形式结构,按照两个呈示部的古老写法。乐曲开门见山呈示出宽广悠长的主部主题,

《都会》由广州交响乐团委约,为其建团 65 周年创作。

运用了三个不同性格的小主题,使整个乐章更为丰富动人。进入第二呈示部,独奏小提琴先奏出一段快速华彩性的导奏, 情深意长地“唱”出了宽广的主部主题,渐渐形成独奏与乐队竞逐的氛围,才和第一小提琴交替奏出副部主题,旋律富于 歌唱性、抒情性和戏剧性,像是唱给恋人的一首真挚情歌。展开部将两个主题发挥,最后独奏小提琴的上行音阶,突然 将情绪拉紧,乐队全奏,情绪变得奔放华丽,形成高潮,独奏小提琴炫技性华彩主导着发展,带入再现部。再现部的音乐 几乎是顺序再现呈示部中的所有素材,只是在调性、和声与配器等方面有所变化。独奏小提琴演奏一段技巧性的华彩乐 段,最后独奏小提琴以激动的双音、八度音,奏出主部主题音调,豪迈地结束第一乐章。 (勃拉姆斯在总谱中并没有为华 彩乐段写下任何音符,至今留传下来的即兴性华彩乐段达十六、七种之多,用得最多的是约阿希姆的版本,不少著名小提 琴家也留下自己作的华彩乐段。) 第二乐章:三部曲式。这是北国孤寂幽香的乐章,音乐贯穿着深挚而静观的情绪,优美柔和的慢板,安逸恬静的气氛使 人联想到勃拉姆斯创作这首协奏曲的环境——凉爽怡人的避暑胜地珀特沙赫。结构精确,旋律细腻,加上并不复杂调 技巧,洋溢着典雅的醇香。主题开始时由悦耳柔美的双簧管奏出,富于歌唱性,色彩温和淡雅,朴素的牧歌风味突出动 人,是勃拉姆斯著名的抒情曲调,独奏小提琴装饰主题,或加以变奏,或与乐队竞逐演奏,中段由明朗的 F 大调转到 f 小

那要复兴捷克民族音乐文化的事业,将之发扬;另一方面他身处欧洲民族观念思潮高涨的年代,形成德沃夏克对国家无 比热爱的精神,并成为他作品中的灵魂所在!而他的音乐能赢得世人的无限钟爱,亦正是他这种对国家无比热爱的精神 转化成音乐时,将波希米亚的田园浪漫色彩深深地感染到不同的民族,引发大家的共鸣。他的《G 大调第八交响曲》第

二小节的节奏型为基础构成急速的进行曲步调。抒情性的第二主题,由木管以最弱的力度奏出四小节的主动机,带有不 第二主题接续再现,展开部简短几乎全被省略。由于引子的主题被安排在发展部和再现部开始时再三出现,田园诗意的 画面同英雄性因素结合,也就成为此一乐章的最大特点。

八交响曲是写于 1889 年的成熟期作品,乐曲基调满含着波希米亚的乡土田园浪漫色彩,这种动人的力量尤为明显。

第二乐章:柔板,降 E 大调,2/4 拍

孕育于波希米亚原野

治下的悲剧情怀。第二乐章开始更仿如听到贝多芬的《英雄》交响曲中的葬礼进行曲般的回声一样。为此,这一乐章便

波希米亚(Bohemia)原是古中欧地名,包括现时连同布拉格在内的捷克共和国中西部地区,但广义上也常指包括捷克 摩拉维亚(Moravia),和西里西亚在内的整个捷克地区。波希米亚亦是古中欧国家,曾为神圣罗马帝国中的一个王国, 随后成为奥地利哈布斯堡王朝的一个省。波希米亚地区的统治和宗教都曾引发不少战争,亦产生不少英雄传奇故事, 十五世纪便曾出现罗马教廷以火刑处死直言进谏的布拉格大学教授胡斯,导致波希米亚乡民愤而皈依胡斯教派的传奇 故事。德沃夏克生于布拉格附近的拉霍奇夫斯镇,卒于布拉格,他的血液中全是波希米亚的山川田园、文化风情,这部作 品中散发的波希米亚乡土田园浪漫色彩,便融入了英雄的气质和个人的浓情。 德沃夏克的交响曲共有九部,在世时其中五部以出版时间先后为序编号,现今改按创作时间先后编号。 《G 大调第 八 交响曲》第八 交响曲 1889 年 写出,1890 年 2 月 2 日由作曲家 亲自指 挥国家 剧院 管 弦 乐团(The Orchestra of the National Theater)在布拉格首演。1892 年出版时列为第四交响曲,由于 在英国出版,故有“英格兰交响曲”之称。 英国人相当喜爱他的作品,对他的音乐,均给予很高评价,他为了答谢剑桥大学赠予名誉博士荣衔,便安排指挥他自己的

这部交响曲尽管情绪明朗乐观,第二乐章仍带有一些伤感片段,仿如是笼罩在作曲家祖国的黑夜和在哈布斯堡王朝统 兼有史诗般雄伟和抒情性的画面。 本乐章用单一主题构成,由庄严、虔敬,带有沉思与悼念意味,却有如夜曲般温馨的抒情主题开始。主题的呈现很像作 曲家早些时候创作的钢琴曲集《诗意的画面》中的《在古老的城堡》 ,这与最后乐章有如胡斯战歌的引子主题存在着联系。 这段音乐增添了史诗性内容。接着乐章的主题衍化成进行曲式的英雄赞歌,由木管乐器(长笛和双簧管)和独奏小提琴 相继奏出,快速的下行音列在旋律进行的长音中屡次插入,鼓声号声不绝,音乐情绪显得更加活跃,主题中一个动机交 错发展,掀起高潮,展现英勇威武;继后英雄的自由之歌改由小提琴接奏,再现先前温婉可亲的气氛,以情调优美温馨 的画面结束。 第三乐章:优雅的小快板,G 小调 -G 大调,3/8 拍 此一乐章并无戏剧性内容,是让人感到亲切的抒情音乐,仿如是笼罩着诗意的轻纱,但整个乐章的节奏感却有如一首斯

《安魂弥撒曲》和这首交响曲,作为象征性的学位论文。

拉夫舞曲一样。

1889 年夏天,四十八岁的德沃夏克在波希米亚的维索卡的别墅(Vysoká u Příbramě),一气呵成完成这首交响曲的

第一段音乐的基本主题采用德沃夏克典型的抒情诗音调写成,有如民谣般可爱的主题,旋律进行典雅如歌,圆舞曲式的

钢琴谱,回到布拉格后编配管弦乐,由 8 月 26 日动笔到 11 月 8 日全曲完成,只用了两个半月!

节奏,将此带着冥想般的主题添加上活力。中段出现 G 大调牧歌般的木管新主题,同样典雅和深具民间气质,近似纯朴

这首交响曲可说是德沃夏克陶醉于大自然的音响、明媚的风光与生命脉动的节奏中,很自然地孕育出来的作品,是把他

主题有着音调上的关联,又和第一乐章的第一主题相呼应,并借此强调本乐章的民间场面特色。乐章的尾声取材自中段

热爱的波希米亚乡土色彩及感情,投放到音乐中的乐曲。 为此,这部交响曲在德沃夏克所有交响曲中,内容同他个人牵 涉最多,也最独特。曲中反映的完全是平静的心境以及欢乐与自傲的感觉。分享他在大自然中所获得的新鲜明朗而愉悦 的感受,还有哺育他的捷克民间音乐,整部作品包含着他对祖国大地及人民和艺术的热爱之情,像是从波希米亚的原野

无华的民歌,是作曲家自十五年前创作的独幕歌剧《老顽固》中优美的托尼克咏叹调借用过来,这段旋律和终章的第一 主题,节拍和速度更换变得十分决断有力。 第四乐章:不太快的快板,G 大调,3/8 拍

和捷克民间直接产生出来。

最后乐章的结构是奏鸣曲形式与变奏曲的独特结合,长大且自由,情调爽朗欢乐。由小号像战斗性号召的响亮光辉信号

交响曲巧妙地音诗化

很多相似之处,再一次强调音乐形象具有的勇武一面。第一主题呈示时进行四次变奏,在乐队全奏时,更掀起一阵阵欢

曲引子开始。第一主题的旋律,在音调和气质上都接近第一乐章的第一主题,带有明显舞蹈性,同胡斯战歌在音调上有

乐曲采用四个乐章的传统结构,却有某些不同一般的特点,用不同的方式来表达其意念。各个乐章采用常见的奏鸣曲 形式、三段体曲式,和回旋曲形式为基础,然而细节上却有很重要而有趣的偏离。乐曲的编制中亦采用了较少使用的短 笛和英国管。可以说,德沃夏克独创的、才华横溢的作曲技巧在此显露无遗,是将交响曲巧妙地音诗化的作品。

乐的狂潮。第二主题是戏谑性的小曲,在不同的乐器上不断传递,逐渐积蓄力量和威势,获得短暂的戏剧性发展,这既 是第二主题的变奏,亦类似奏鸣曲形式的发展部。再现部开始前,再听到引子主题的召唤,然后第一主题及其四次变奏 又依序重现,但色彩比前更加柔和、更加明朗,第二主题则全被省略掉,最后结束全曲的民间节日欢乐画面来自第一主 题的一个变形。

这首交响曲四个乐章都散发着浓厚的民族气息,将波希米亚人的性格率直地表现出来。其中的第三乐章,是迷人的斯 拉夫舞曲,不时会抽出来在音乐会中单独演奏。欣赏这部描写祖国的大自然,纯朴的民族性,荣光映照的史迹的交响曲,

可将之视为由四幅音画构成的音诗。 第一乐章:充满活力的快板,G 小调 -G 大调,4/4 拍 引子是一个独立主题,分别于呈示部、发展部和再现部之前按次出现,丰富了乐章所采用的奏鸣曲形式;引子风格是哀 伤的小调,但主题具有史诗般宏伟的气质,又接近庄严的圣咏;同时,最后乐章的引子亦使原来像田园诗般的音乐带有 英勇的戏剧性,为此,有人亦将之喻为是德沃夏克的“英雄”交响曲。 引子后的第一主题,长笛奏出快活的曲调,有如农村少女晨光时在田野劳动所唱的歌曲,在摩拉维亚和斯洛伐克十分流 38

曲目介绍 梁皓一

是优美而令人难忘的音乐。但一如莫扎特很多优美动人的音乐,在音乐里总会带着一点儿感伤,这个乐章同样可以感受 得到,那可是他当时现实生活的悲情境遇的自然流露呀。

《天穹之志:大湾华章》(广州交响乐团委约)

《天穹之志:大湾华章》是一部充满活力的音乐作品,展现了大湾区内丰富的文化传统所带来的美丽、深度和凝聚力。 作曲家梁皓一旨在唤起大湾区的壮丽的景象,将细致与大胆融合在音符间。作品中的抒情主题和节奏变化颂扬着大湾 区的多样性,却深深扎根于中国传统。音乐随着富有感染力的节奏跃动,勾勒出一幅生动的音乐画卷,展现了该地区文

第三乐章:急板,回旋曲式 全曲最简短的终章,以轻快舞曲表达莫扎特独特的回旋曲风格,开头的回旋曲主题重现两次。独奏小提琴与中提琴以快 速节奏推进,成就此一连绵不断,令人精神振奋的回旋曲乐章。曲中旋律明快,圆号和双簧管都有表演机会。乐队齐奏 轻快活泼,两件独奏乐器,你追我逐,活力充沛,在音色上的强烈对比,明确诉说他们担任主角。在独奏部分出现后,简 短的管弦乐齐奏,富有光彩、明亮地将全曲终结。

化的多彩活力。作曲家梁皓一经常将中国传统元素与其他音乐传统相融合,创造出和谐交融的音乐,象征着不断演变的 新时代精神。 梁皓一 提供

德沃夏克

E 小调第九交响曲,作品 95(自新大陆 )

德沃夏克《E 小调第九交响曲(自新大陆)》所展示的,基本上是一个壮丽的世界,那却是从伯恩斯坦当年所处的五十年

莫扎特

降 E 大调小提琴与中提琴交响协奏曲,K.364

莫扎特 1777-1778 年间,前赴巴黎旅游,这次曼海姆、巴黎的旅程令他获益良多,也启发他对曲体的重新认识,这首小 提琴与中提琴交响协奏曲,可说是莫扎特“独一无二”的作品,就是旅程归来后,约经过半年时间,于 1779 年夏天写成, 是他担任萨尔茨堡宫廷乐团乐正时的作品,显然受了当时欧洲最负盛名的高水平曼海姆乐团和乐风影响,第一乐章主 题便具有曼海姆乐派作曲家卡尔·斯塔米茨(Karl Stamitz, 1745-1801)的影子。

晚年德沃夏克名利双收,德国、捷克、奥地利、英国各学术机构争相授予荣耀头衔,美国纽约音乐学院也慕名邀他去担 任院长。德沃夏克于 1892 年赴任,成为继柴可夫斯基后,第二个来到美国的欧洲重要作曲家。德沃夏克在美国逗留到 1895 年返回故乡,担任捷克布拉格音乐学院的院长,并专注民族音乐研究工作。1903 年德沃夏克完成歌剧《亚美达》 (Armida)后,1904 年 5 月,积劳成疾,因脑溢血突然去世,享年六十三岁。 德沃夏克能成为捷克音乐史上的伟大作曲家,一方面是他对斯美塔那的作品作过深入研究,并能不断在波希米亚的民

对中提琴的迷醉 莫扎特这首交响协奏曲,从形式到内容的设计,都可说是匠心独运,将小提琴和中提琴这两件提琴乐器的特性充分发挥, 展现出莫扎特音乐于优美中隐含着感伤阴影的艺术特性,亦让他这部作品成为同类作品中的伟大经典。 莫扎特擅奏键盘乐器,对小提琴造诣亦深,写作这首作品时,对演奏中提琴更是迷醉,在莫扎特的作品中虽没有中提琴 独奏曲,但除了这首交响协奏曲,他还有两首小提琴与中提琴二重奏(K.423,和 K.424)。他创作这首交响协奏曲时,亦 很有创意地让中、小提琴以音乐对话的方式来表现,大大增加两件独奏乐器的互动效果,加深了音乐的整体深度。 深明中提琴和小提琴一齐合作时,按乐器本身性能,只能退居第二位。为此,为了音响、音色上的需要,莫扎特便特意将 中提琴独奏的分谱以 D 大调写成,让独奏的中提琴先将定弦全部调高半音,再以 D 大调之记谱演奏,乐队以降 E 大调 演奏时,中提琴不仅能与其他乐器的音色融合,加以中提琴之琴弦张力增加,乐器发出较明亮音色,近于小提琴,亦增强 了中提琴的表现力。这是一种特别的尝试,但是现在的演奏者多不再采用这种方式演奏,而是直接拉奏降 E 大调。此外, 在这首协奏曲中莫扎特还亲自写下了华彩部分,使得音乐的呈现更为完整。 莫扎特以 D 大调写成中提琴分谱,有意让中提琴在运指上较易发出更丰盈的音质,还有一重考虑,是让音色较朴厚的中 提琴,得以与小提琴分庭抗礼,利用华丽开扬的小提琴音色,与深沉平稳的中提琴色彩,将两种不同色调的乐器声音,巧 妙地表现出华丽当中总带一点阴影的莫扎特的艺术特性,这正是莫扎特追求纯净音乐之美的特色所在。

间音乐中汲取创作养份,得以继承斯美塔那要复兴捷克民族音乐文化的事业,将之发扬。另一方面是他身处的大时代, 正是欧洲民族观念思潮高涨的年代,他一生经历的,亦正是捷克长时间对抗奥地利哈布斯堡王朝,争取民族自决,谋求 独立,复兴波希米亚文化的岁月。由此也就形成德沃夏克对国家无比热爱的精神,并成为他作品中的灵魂所在! 德沃夏克一生写下大量各种音乐体裁、 形式的作品, 这些作品的基本特色大都保持着民间音乐的特点和典型的民族色彩。 风格纯朴生动,散发着鲜明的爱国精神,“旋律美”堪称是德沃夏克作品中至为引人入胜的元素,但亦有人认为他的作品 较缺乏思想深度。但不容否认的是,他的作品早已形成独特的音乐风格,影响力广及整个欧陆,对后来的作曲家带来很 大冲击。 《自新大陆》背景 德沃夏克在美国的四年间(1892 年至 1895 年春),创作了不少民族色彩鲜明的重要作品,除《新大陆》交响曲外,还有 弦乐四重奏《美国》、以及大提琴协奏曲等。其中当以 1893 年完成的《自新大陆》交响曲最为轰动。 他的第九《自新大陆》交响曲,打破民族界限,成为全球各个民族在心灵上均能感应得到共鸣的作品,是今日在世界各 地音乐舞台上演出次数最多的交响曲之一,亦是备受不同年龄阶层的爱乐者欢迎,能列入百听不厌的世界名曲中。 当年《自新大陆》交响曲以黑人灵歌与印第安民谣为素材,实时便赢得美国人的心,报纸上的评论亦实时喝彩:“平静的 美国人一下子都疯狂了,像世界上最易激动的意大利人那样喝彩。”

第一乐章:庄严的快板,奏鸣曲式 风格雄伟,乐曲开始有如交响曲同样的形式,响亮的和弦很能实时将人的主意力吸引着。无论独奏还是乐队部分都写 得很丰富,兼具交响曲与协奏曲的特性及风格,开始一大段合奏后,独奏小提琴与中提琴在管弦乐的声响中,以齐奏 形式进入,亮丽的开头以八度音展开,然后展开充实对话,既有沉思,亦有较富戏剧性部分。在圆号与双簧管出现后, 乐曲推向一个典型的曼海姆式渐强高潮,乐章终结前,两件独奏乐器的华彩乐段,很是吸引。 第二乐章:行板,奏鸣曲式 音色情调灰暗、伤感、抒情的慢板音乐。两件独奏乐器以集乐章开始时的主题对答地将乐曲扩充发展,美丽动人心弦,

对于这部交响曲,德沃夏克曾很自豪的说:“任何人只要有鼻子,必可以嗅到美国味!”(Everyone who has a nose must smell America.)。他在接受纽约先导报(New York Herald)访问时也强调:“我深信未来美国的音乐是建立在 黑人旋律的基础之上”。德沃夏克有此“预言”,是因为当时美国音乐院校的作品多是欧洲曲风的延续,德沃夏克主张必 须开创出美国人自己的音乐道路,于是身体力行,将黑人灵歌与印第安民谣的音乐,融入其作品内,创作了《自新大陆》 交响曲。

《自新大陆》特色 德沃夏克在《自新大陆》交响曲中,将美国新大陆的黑人民谣和他在欧洲的故乡波希米亚的民族音乐特色相互交融,手 法奇特,效果撼人心弦,感人力量之深,至今超过百年,丝毫没有减退。这可以说是德沃夏克来到美国后,大量接触到 美国的多元文化,在他的作品中融入美国原住民及黑人灵歌(Soul Music)的节奏与旋律的成果。可以说是十九世纪跨 文化音乐创作取得成果的先驱例子。据说创作此曲时,德沃夏克刚好待在一个波希米亚人聚居的美国小镇,就勾起他的

乡愁,因此在这首作品中加入了波希米亚民谣狂放潇洒的元素。由于波希米亚与巴尔干的民歌,与中国传统音律具有共 通之处,为此,中国听众听来便会有中国五声音阶的熟悉感。

《自新大陆》交响曲全曲分四个乐章。四个乐章既构成前后对比效果,又有内在联系统一。 第一乐章:柔板,很快的快板,e 小调,2/4 拍 奏鸣曲式 以大提琴及圆号的缓慢导奏,带着微弱叹息,在乐队全奏,定音鼓擂动下,小提琴颤音进入共有三个主题的呈示部。圆 号奏出第一主题(琶音动机),有如展现美国拓荒时代大自然的壮丽景貌。长笛及双簧管奏出舞曲音调的第二主题, 欧陆农村舞曲风格,虽有感伤味,但节奏强烈。长笛奏出第三主题,这段“灵歌主题”,作曲家表示“只是想模仿美国风 格创作曲调”,但黑人音乐味道明显,有人认为一是源自黑人著名灵歌《轻轻的摇,可爱的马车》(Swing Low,Sweet Chariot),另一说法则是源自一首黑人世俗歌曲。呈示部反复后,进入以琶音动机及灵歌动机发展的展开部,再现部将 呈示部三个主题顺次做出压缩重现,最后加上灵歌动机及琶音动机写成的尾声结束这个乐章。

第二乐章广板最为著名,据说这是作曲家读了美国十九世纪著名诗人朗费罗的叙事诗《海华沙之歌》后,对美国内陆的 大自然景象的幻想,深有所感而创作。曲中以英国管独奏的五声音阶主题,富有歌唱性的旋律,优美深情,情调上融和了 黑人音乐及作曲家故国波希米亚风情。后来美国学者费舍尔(William Fisher)将这段旋律填上歌词,改编为合唱曲, 成为家喻户晓的歌曲《归故乡》 (Goin' Home)。这段慢板音乐悲伤缓慢,将作曲家遥念故国的乡愁,发挥得淋漓尽致, 成为全球各个民族在心灵上均能感应得到共鸣的作品,即使在“乡愁感”似乎已随着信息科技的发达而减退的今日,撼人

心弦的感人力量丝毫未减。 乐曲开始由铜管及木管奏出低沉庄严的导奏,英国管便独奏出“思乡主题”。双簧管及长笛奏出的中段主题旋律以动机重 复手法写成,忽弱忽强,忧愁悲苦,急切呼唤,如内心激荡的思乡情绪。双簧管断奏的连接段中,在乐队全奏后,首乐章 的琶音及灵歌动机 (第一及第三主题) 与本乐章开始之英国管“思乡主题”旋律融合后, 再现改由圆号奏出主部的“思乡主题”。 第三乐章 :谐谑曲,十分活跃的,e 小调,3/4 拍,复三部曲式 此一乐章据说则是受到朗费罗叙事诗《海华沙之歌》中印第安人的舞蹈场面启发创作。 在序奏后的主部以木管带出舞蹈主题, 及歌唱主题构成。 舞蹈主题轻快活跃, 舞蹈节奏, 富有生气, 歌唱主题旋律悠长婉转, 富有歌唱性, 与“思乡主题”近似。 中段的轻盈舞曲主题, 木管奏出, 节奏富有弹性, 捷克民间舞蹈风格;另一个婀娜舞曲主题, 弦乐先行奏出,妙曼轻松,舞蹈节奏构成。再现主部后的尾声仍可听到第一乐章的主题片段。 第四乐章:火热的快板,e 小调,4/4 拍 奏鸣曲式 这是一个气势宏大雄伟的乐章。奋斗般的引子后,进入呈示部,乐队全奏出威武雄壮,宏大的进行曲风格的音乐,有如 大地尽在脚下的气势。此一主题经过变奏反复,抒情如歌的副题出现,柔美抒情,富有歌唱性。结束部由乐队全奏出英 雄性的威武音乐结束呈示部。展开部以呈示部奋进式主题材料,加上次乐章“思乡主题”材料和第三乐章舞蹈性主题, 以及首乐章主部动机写成。再现部将呈示部的奋进式主题变化再现,在抒情如歌主题再现后进入乐队全奏,有如凯歌 般的尾声,以无比壮丽的音乐结束全曲。 撰文:周凡夫 香港演艺学院 50

2024 Youth Music Culture The Greater Bay Area (YMCG)

A Letter from the Music Director

2024 is my first year as Music Director of Youth Music Culture The Greater Bay Area. It was a great honour to be asked by Maestro Long Yu to follow in the footsteps of Yo-Yo Ma, to build on his legacy, and to bring together young musicians from Asia and beyond, and to work together in the pursuit of excellence in orchestral performance.

Presented under the auspices of the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangdong Province and organized by the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra and Xinghai Concert Hall with renowned Maestro Long Yu heading its Artistic Committee, Youth Music Culture Guangdong (YMCG) launched in 2017 and was held for six consecutive years (2017–2022) with cellist Yo-Yo Ma serving as Artistic Director. In 2023, Youth Music Culture Guangdong was upgraded and renamed Youth Music Culture the Greater Bay Area (retaining the acronym YMCG); it has also garnered national recognition, having won the China Music Arts Promotion Award. YMCG now extends beyond Guangdong Province into the Greater Bay Area, deepening and expanding outreach and dissemination, reinforcing the original aspiration of ensuring that Chinese stories, Greater Bay Area stories and Guangdong stories reach the four corners of the world.

In 2024, the YMCG Orchestra and I will perform Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 "From The New World". We will be joined by world class soloists Vilde Frang and Amihai Grosz to perform the Mozart. The Dvorak symphony is one of the most beloved in the orchestral repertoire, it gives us the chance to let the musicians shine whilst discussing and working on many fundamental elements of orchestral performance. It is the perfect starting place for our journey together over the next five years. I am excited to open the concerts with a special world premiere of "Aureate Skylines" written by composer Elliot Leung. We will be joined by top orchestral musicians from many of the world’s great orchestras, including the Berliner Philharmoniker, Wiener Philharmoniker, Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and the London Symphony Orchestra, among others. Our faculty of musicians will work closely with the students in small groups, as well as sitting within the orchestra during the rehearsals and performances. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be surrounded by this level of excellence from such a variety of international orchestras and cultures.

Beginning in 2024, YMCG will be Co-organized by five internationally-renowned music institutions based in the Greater Bay Area: the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra (GSO), Xinghai Concert Hall and Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra in Guangdong Province; the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra from the Hong Kong SAR and the Macao Orchestra from the Macao SAR. The new YMCG continues to have its founder Maestro Long Yu heading its Artistic Committee, while Maestro Daniel Harding serves as incoming Music Director and will continue this role until 2028.

In 2024 will begin to explore what it means to play in an orchestra, and we will discover what are the key ingredients of a world class orchestra. We’ve created a programme that offers our students the opportunity to play in full symphonic rehearsals, as well as in focused sectionals and smaller chamber groups, all the while being coached by an all-star faculty of musicians. In addition to our work on the symphonic repertoire, I look forward to working with a variety of smaller ensembles on repertoire by Mozart, Dvorak and Strauss, as well as Lutoslawski, Ibert and Malcolm Arnold.

At the inaugural YMCG in 2017, China’s Music Weekly heralded the event as “opening a new page in the Chinese symphonic world.” Since then, YMCG has attracted much international attention. Writers have visited Guangzhou to report on YMCG, having published stories in such outlets as Strings and The Violin Channel (USA), The Strad , Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine (UK) and Limelight (Australia).

I look forward to hosting an open event during the residency, where our students can pose questions to our faculty members. It will be fascinating to hear and compare the variety of responses, and share with the students the different perspectives our coaches bring. In another event, my esteemed colleague Maestro Long Yu and I will join in a conversation about the life of a conductor, sharing insights from the early days in one’s career, through to managing a dual life as conductor and airline pilot! At YMCG we will celebrate curiosity, excellence, hard work, and the unique bond that communication through music can provide. I am thrilled to be part of this project with such wonderful students and colleagues, and I look forward to seeing you all in Guangzhou. Daniel Harding December 2023

Chairman of Artistic Committee Long Yu

Conservatory of Music and the New York Philharmonic, which also named Maestro Yu an honorary member of their International Advisory Board, a 12-member network of advocates and ambassadors gathered to connect the Philharmonic with individuals and institutions in their home countries. Two years later, he launched the biennial Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition, a result of his relationship with the Stern family dating from the violinist’s appearance at the Beijing Music Festival in 2000 marking the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking China tour. In June 2018, Maestro Yu became the first Chinese conductor to sign an exclusive relationship with Deutsche Grammophon, offering the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra a global release and distribution partnership, and leading to the recording releases of Orff: Carmina Burana (Live from the Forbidden City) (January 2019) and The Song of the Earth (July 2021). In 2019, he led the orchestra on a tour of the United States and Europe, with performances at the BBC Proms and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw as well as the Edinburgh, Lucerne and Ravinia festivals.

Hailed by The New York Times as “the most powerful figure in China’s classical music scene,” the conductor and impresario Long Yu has devoted his illustrious career to steering China’s growing connection to classical music while familiarizing international audiences with the country’s most eminent musicians and composers. Maestro Yu currently holds the top position in China’s most prominent orchestras—Artistic Director of the China Philharmonic Orchestra in Beijing and Music Director of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra—as well as Principal Guest Conductor of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also co-director of Shanghai’s Music in the Summer Air (MISA) festival and Chair of the Artistic Committee of the Beijing Music Festival, an annual autumn event that he founded in 1998 and served as Artistic Director until 2017. After 20 years at the helm, Maestro Yu recently stepped down as Music Director of Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra and is now Honorary Music Director for Life and the Chair of the Artistic Committee. He is currently Vice President of the China Musicians Association and Chairman of its recently established League of China Orchestras. This 2023/2024 season, international guest appearances bring Maestro Yu together with The Philadelphia Orchestra and New York Philharmonic, and at home he performs with renowned artists including pianist Stephen Hough, violinist Leonidas Kavakos, Julian 10

Rachlin, baritone Matthias Goerne and soprano Olga Peretyatko, among others. In the fall, he gives the world premiere of Aaron Zigman and Mark Campbell’s Émigré with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra (SSO), cocommissioned by the SSO and New York Philharmonic. In one of his earlier career highlights, Maestro Long Yu led the China Philharmonic Orchestra on an international tour from February to April 2005. Within 40 days they appeared in 22 cities throughout North America and Europe. This was the first time a Chinese symphony orchestra gave performances in the two continents in China’s history. In 2014, Maestro Yu led the China Philharmonic—the first orchestra from China—at the BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall, a concert viewed by millions of people across the United Kingdom. And, under Maestro Yu’s baton, the China Philharmonic Orchestra became the first Chinese orchestra to perform at the Vatican’s Paul VI Auditorium, a concert attended by Pope Benedict XVI marking a giant step in bridging East and West.

As Music Director of the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra from 2003 to 2023, Maestro Yu expanded the orchestra’s repertoire and touring outreach to Europe, the United States, Australia, Africa and the Middle East, as well as helped grow its educational mission. Between 2005 and 2007, the GSO organized the Canton International Summer Music Academy with a distinguished faculty including Martha Argerich and Gary Graffman. In January 2017, the GSO inaugurated Youth Music Culture Guangdong (now Youth Music Culture the Greater Bay Area), a performance and educational initiative “opening a new page in the Chinese symphonic world” with Yo-Yo Ma as its first Artistic Director and Maestro Yu leading its Artistic Committee. Also a towering figure on the international stage, Maestro Yu has conducted many highly acclaimed orchestras throughout the world, including the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra,

Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, Staatsoper Hamburg, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, Munich Philharmonic, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Tokyo Philharmonic and Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Born in 1964 into a Shanghai musical family, Maestro Yu received his early musical education from his grandfather, the renowned composer Ding Shande, later continuing his studies at the Shanghai Conservatory and the Hochschule der Kunst in Berlin. In the early 1990s, he was appointed Principal Conductor of the Central Opera House in Beijing and served as its conductor for three consecutive years, as well as Conductor of the Urban Council of Hong Kong and served as its annual opera conductor. Among his achievements in China, Long Yu was named the 2010 Person of the Year in the Arts Field and was also granted the 2013 China Arts Award and an Honorary Academician from the Central Conservatory of Music for his dedication to cultural exchange and music development in China. Internationally, Maestro Yu received the Arts Patronage Award of the Montblanc Cultural Foundation in 2002. A year later, he was named a Chevalier dans L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 2005, the Italian government honored him with the title of L’onorificenza di Commendatore dell’Ordine al Merito. He was awarded France’s highest order of merit by joining the Légion d’Honneur in 2014. The following year, Maestro Yu received the prestigious Global Citizen Award from the Atlantic Council and the Samuel Simons Sanford Award from the Yale School of Music. In 2016, he was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and also awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2018, he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.

Since taking the reins of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra in 2009, Maestro Yu’s initiatives have included the 2014 opening of Shanghai Symphony Hall.

2024 YMCG Organizers (listed in no particular order)

Xinghai Concert Hall

2024 YMCG Organizers

Huang Yi, Music Director Since its founding in 1957, the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra (GSO) has developed into one of China’s most artistically superb and vibrant orchestral institutions. It is the first and only Chinese symphony orchestra to have toured and performed on five continents, receiving acclaim as “one of China’s most prestigious music ensembles” (China Daily) and “China’s nexus of musical tradition and innovation” (Financial Times of London). In September 2023, Huang Yi becomes GSO’s third Music Director, succeeding Long Yu, Chairman of the China Musicians Association’s League of China Orchestras, who was hailed by the New York Times as “the most powerful figure in China’s Western classical music scene.” In recognition of Yu at the helm of the GSO for two brilliant decades (2003–2023), the GSO bestowed the title of “Honorary Music Director for Life” to him as he continues to chair its artistic committee. The GSO is also one of the first orchestras in China to institute a professional concert season, and 2023/2024 marks its 27th season. The GSO was sent on numerous tours by the Ministry of Culture and the Guangdong Provincial Government, performing at internationally renowned venues all over the world. In 2006, the GSO was invited to perform in both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar. The orchestra has also appeared more than 20 times at the Hong Kong Arts Festival, Macao Arts Festival and Macao International Music Festival. In 2012, the GSO made its Taiwan debut. In 2017, the GSO made its sixth European tour, visiting London, Manchester and Birmingham on the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United Kingdom, where it was headlined in The Guardian as a “highly accomplished band.” In 2019, the GSO was invited to take part in the “Winter in Tantora” Festival, becoming the first Chinese orchestra to perform in Saudi Arabia. Later that month, the GSO embarked on its seventh European tour. The orchestra not only fulfills its role as cultural ambassador abroad, but also promotes meaningful exchange within the Pearl River Delta region and across the Taiwan Straits.

Since its inauguration in 1998, Xinghai Concert Hall, named after the prominent Chinese composer Xian Xinghai, remains a dominant player among the sector, a much storied venue in the musical landscape in China for its much-acclaimed acoustics. In the 2023/2024 season, Xinghai Concert Hall presents a series of performances and special events across its two halls and two indoor spaces: the Symphony Hall (1,518 seats), the Chamber Hall (461 seats), the Art Salon Space (100 seats) and the Music Space (200 seats). Outside the building stretches a Music Cultural Square, capable of holding public occasions for up to thousands. Home to several cherished musical instruments–notably the pipe organ, concert grands, harps and percussions–as well as state-of-the-art recording facilities, the Hall has become the envy of the world. Yet at home it stands firmly as the cultural calling card of the municipality of Guangzhou and the province of Guangdong by having musical phenomena like the Vienna Philharmonic, London Symphony, Dresden Staatskapelle, New York Philharmonic, Lorin Maazel, Yevgeny Svetlanov, Itzhak Perlman, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Yo-Yo Ma, and Lang Lang, etc. perform across its stages for the local residents. Together with two of its resident orchestras, Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra and Guangdong National Orchestra, the Hall makes music accessible to the general public with a string of rich outreach programmes: Annual Music Highlights, Guangzhou Jazz Festival, matinée concerts, lectures, workshops, etc. For a quarter of a century, the Hall has served as a beacon in the sea of music, fostering both musicians and those who appreciate their performances.

The GSO has also diversified its mission and programs in the past decade. Between 2005 and 2007, the orchestra organized the Canton International Summer Music Academy with Maestro Charles Dutoit as music director. The GSO hosted the Canton Asian Music Festival, held at the Xinghai Concert Hall, in November 2010 on the occasion of the 16th Asian Games. The GSO has also collaborated with the world’s leading ballet and opera companies, appearing both in the pit and in concert renditions. In December 2011, the GSO established its affiliate youth orchestra, later renamed the Guangzhou Symphony Youth Orchestra (August 2016), the first amateur youth orchestra administered by a professional orchestra in China. Since 2017, the GSO has organized its annual Youth Music Culture Guangdong, renamed in 2023 Youth Music Culture the Greater Bay Area, with Long Yu serving as chair of its artistic committee. At its inauguration in January 2017, YMCG immediately garnered acclaim for “opening a new page in the Chinese symphonic world.” In 2023, it received the China Music Arts Promotion Award.

Note: The GSO launched its inaugural performance season in May 1998, each extending to the following March, which continued for five seasons. The sixth season was unique, lasting between March and August of 2003 as a transitional period to adjust its schedule. Beginning with the seventh season, the GSO season extended from September to the following July.

The 2024 Youth Music Culture the Greater Bay Area (YMCG) Orchestra comprises more than 80 members, all under the age of 30. These outstanding young musicians come from 70 renowned conservatories and universities in such countries as China, Russia, the United States of America, Japan, Korea, Singapore, the Philippines, Germany, Austria, the United Kingdom and France, and some are selected from nearly 20 professional orchestras. More than 50 members have received training at the Central Conservatory of Music, China Conservatory of Music, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Tianjin Juilliard School, Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music, New York’s Juilliard School, England’s Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, Germany’s University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar, Austria’s University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Singapore’s Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music and Korea’s Kyung Hee University, in addition to three major conservatories in the Greater Bay Area: the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Xinghai Conservatory of Music and School of Music, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. The YMCG Orchestra also includes more than 20 young musicians from 16 of China’s professional orchestras. Youth Music Culture the Greater Bay Area’s predecessor was Youth Music Culture Guangdong, founded in 2017 and immediately heralded as “a new page for the 26

Chinese symphonic world.” Since then, a new orchestra is formed annually with YMCG participants. In 2023, YMCG welcomed a new development after six years in the running, elevating its scope as Youth Music Culture the Greater Bay Area (retaining the acronym YMCG). In July that year, YMCG garnered national recognition, winning the China Music Arts Promotion Award. The YMCG Orchestra is filled with vitality, befitting the energy of Guangdong’s position at the forefront of China’s reform and opening up policy. Here, friendships are made through music and a large extended family is fostered by cultural fusion and exchange. The expansion from Guangdong to the Greater Bay Area acknowledges the project’s origin, continuing its external engagement, projecting into the future, building a modern culture that is distinctly Chinese while deepening and extending promotion and outreach, so that the original aspirations of Chinese stories and voices of the Greater Bay Area are broadcast to the world. Beginning in January 2024, a brand new orchestra will gather in the core cultural hubs of the Greater Bay Area led by Music Director Daniel Harding, performing in Guangzhou’s Xinghai Concert Hall, Shenzhen Concert Hall and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall respectively.

Notes on the Program Zhou Tian

Metropolis (GSO Commission)

The work comes from the poems of Huang Tao's feeling, trying to show the tone of a thousand years: prosperity and market coexist, old and modern interwoven; it has both a lively, noisy side, but also a light, quiet side. When we hear the combination of Chinese national tones and modern harmony and jazz beat in the music, do we also hear a sound that will last for a thousand years? "Metropolis" was created by the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra for the 65th anniversary of its founding. Grammy-nominated Chinese-American composer Zhou Tian seeks inspiration from different cultures and strives to mix them seamlessly into a musically satisfying combination for performers and audience alike. His music — described as “absolutely beautiful…utterly satisfying” (Fanfare), “stunning” (the Cincinnati Enquirer), and “a prime example of 21st-century global multiculturalism” — has been performed by leading orchestras and soloists in the United States and abroad, such as Jaap Van Zweden, Yuja Wang, Jian Wang, the New York Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, Mahler Chamber Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, and Shanghai Symphony, where he recently served as Artist-in-Residence.

Johannes Brahms

Violin Concerto in D major, Op.77

THE COMPOSER The promise of a career as a virtuoso pianist beckoned, but Brahms did not follow that path and forged an early career conducting ladies’ choirs and teaching impressionable females who largely occupied themselves gazing adoringly at their handsome tutor. His career as a composer came about almost, as it were, by accident when he toured Europe as accompanist to the noted Hungarian violinist Ede Reményi. The improvised accompaniments Brahms provided for Reményi’s virtuoso accounts of Hungarian melodies attracted so much attention that he was persuaded to write them down and publish them as piano duets, and it was with these Hungarian Dances that his composing career properly began. His travels with Reményi took him in June 1853 to Göttingen where the pair of them met up with another noted violinist, Joseph Joachim, and while Reményi soon went his own way, Brahms returned a few weeks later to Göttingen where a deep personal friendship grew up between Joachim and himself which was to result, some 20 years later, in the work we hear tonight.

played in an overheated concert hall.” He went on to make several suggestions aimed at simplifying the demanding solo part (the monstrous difficulties in the solo part prompting one famous Viennese violinist – Joseph Hellmesberger – to describe the work as “a concerto against the violin”). But, with the exception of the passages of multi-stopping, Brahms ignored most of Joachim’s suggestions for the work’s premiere, which was given in Leipzig on 1 January 1879 by the city’s Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Brahms and with Joachim as soloist. However, this was not deemed a great success (one critic dismissing it as “rubbish”), and for the work’s Vienna debut a fortnight later, he incorporated several of Joachim’s ideas. That was a public (if not a critical) success and the concerto soon went on to become one of the most popular in the repertory. THE MUSIC Composed during a summer vacation in Pörtschach on the shores of the beautiful Lake Wörth the Violin Concerto exudes lyricism and beauty from almost every bar. Beginning with a simple ascending and descending sequence of the notes of a D major triad (with an added sixth), the first movement is based on the four contrasting themes outlined in the extended orchestral introduction. The gloriously exuberant flourish with which the soloist enters heralds the start of a substantial dialogue between soloist and orchestra culminating in a cadenza composed by Joachim. “The most beautiful oboe solo in the whole of orchestral music”, is how the British writer Antony Hopkins described the concerto’s second movement. Brahms himself was less sure, describing it as a “poor adagio” taking the place of the two middle movements he had originally planned. In a straightforward, three-part structure, the movement’s lyrical theme is given out by the oboe accompanied by wind instruments, the strings entering to set the scene for the appearance of the soloist in an ornamented version of the theme. After some momentary increase in tension the movement reverts to the calm, tranquil beauty of its opening bars with a delectable duet between solo violin and oboe. The third movement is in the customary Rondo form and celebrates in its ebullient double-stopped theme both Brahms’ and Joachim’s shared experiences of Hungarian music. The brief cadenza at the end of this movement was composed by Brahms: the modification of the original speed indication (from “Allegro giocoso”) was one of the changes requested by Joachim. By Dr Marc Rochester, provided by the HK Phil

THE BACKGROUND Although Joachim had often asked Brahms to write him a concerto, Brahms was clearly reluctant, claiming his poor understanding of the instrument prevented him from embarking on such a project: “It is a very different matter writing for instruments whose nature and sound one only knows in passing or hears in one’s mind, and writing for an instrument that one knows as thoroughly as I know the piano.” He may also have been daunted by the prospect of putting himself up for comparison with his great musical hero, Beethoven. Only two years earlier his first symphony had been completed, its lengthy gestation the result of his anxiety to live up to the example set by Beethoven, and he clearly studied Beethoven’s great concerto for the instrument before setting out on his own, which he cast in the same key. PERFORMANCE HISTORY When it came to the solo part, Brahms sought the advice of Joachim, who told him: “Most of the material is playable – some of it, in fact, quite originally violinistic – but I wouldn’t care to say whether it can be comfortably 36

Antonín Dvořák

Symphony No.8 in G major, Op.88

THE COMPOSER Antonín Dvořák was born in the tiny Bohemian village of Nelahozeves on 8 September 1841. He showed considerable musical promise as a child, but was sent away to serve his apprenticeship in the butcher’s trade. He showed no interest whatsoever in this, and eventually his father was persuaded to allow him to study at the Prague Organ School. He spent several years scraping a living as a church organist, music teacher and viola player, but, determined to succeed as a composer, he submitted a large portfolio of works by way of application for a state grant for “the young, poor and talented painters, sculptors and musicians from the Austrian half of the Empire”. He received the princely sum of 400 gold Florins, but more importantly, came to the attention of one of the judges on the awards panel, Johannes Brahms. So impressed was Brahms that he wrote to his own publisher, Fritz Simrock of Berlin, urging him to sign up the young Czech composer. Almost immediately, Dvořák’s music became hot property, it sold well, he achieved fame and fortune, and died an extremely wealthy man in Prague on 1 May 1904. THE BACKGROUND By 1884 Dvořák was wealthy enough to build a house in the small village of Vyoská, some 50kms from Prague. He spent virtually every summer there, including the summer of 1889 during which he composed most of his Eighth Symphony. He completed it back in Prague that November. Its blend of innocence, folk melody, drama and grandeur seem to reflect the countryside around Vyoská, and Dvořák was so proud of the work that he submitted it as his Doctoral thesis to the University of Cambridge (which he was awarded in 1891) as well as to the Prague Conservatory – formerly the Organ School – to which he was appointed Director also in 1891. PERFORMANCE HISTORY The first performance of the Eighth Symphony was given on 2 February 1890 in Prague by the National Theatre Orchestra conducted by the composer. For many years it remained the composer’s best-loved work. THE MUSIC The first movement starts with a sombre cello melody in a minor key answered by a happy little flute in a major one, before the volume and speed increase and the main theme, a kind of jovial march, breaks out. The second movement calls to mind the rolling hills and richly-scented pine forests which surround Vyoská, and there is a typically rustic peasant dance in the middle of this otherwise tranquil movement. However, the gentle dance which starts the third movement is far more refined, while the charming and delightful central section is a particularly fine melody which Dvořák had used in his opera The Stubborn Lovers composed in 1874. A more extrovert dance pops up just before the movement gives way to the fourth movement which is built around the traditional Czech dance, the Furiant.

Notes on the Program Elliot Leung

Aureate Skylines (GSO Commission)

“Aureate Skylines” is a vibrant piece that showcases the beauty, depth, and unity that arise from the myriad of cultural traditions found within The Greater Bay Area. Leung aims to evoke the grandeur of the region, blending the delicate and introspective with the bold and energetic. The lyrical themes and rhythmic variations celebrate diversity within the region, yet all deeply rooted in Chinese traditions. The piece pulsates with the infectious rhythms, creating a musical tapestry that reflects the region’s cultural mosaic vibrancy. Leung often combines traditional Chinese motifs and scales with elements from other musical traditions, creating a harmonious blend that represents the evolving nature of a new generation.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E-flat major, K.364

This Sinfonia Concertante was written for solo violin, viola and orchestra. It was probably first performed in Salzburg towards the end of 1779 and ranks as one of his most sublime creations.

By August 1777 Mozart had served eight years as Konzertmeister at Salzburg, five of those under Prince-Archbishop Hieronymus, Count von Colloredo. Having grown increasingly frustrated with his duties, Mozart begged for leave and was, instead, dismissed by Colloredo. On 23rd September he set off, accompanied by his mother, in search of a new position and on 30th October arrived in Mannheim. It soon became obvious that there was nothing suitable there but Mozart was reluctant to leave Mannheim. This reluctance was more personal than musical. He had fallen in love with 17-year-old Aloysia Weber the daughter of a music-copyist. Mozart’s father, Leopold, did not approve. He wrote demanding that they leave at once and travel on to Paris. Mozart grudgingly obeyed, and on 23rd March 1778, after nine wet and stormy days on the road, Mozart and his mother arrived in Paris. Their time in the French capital was not a happy one. The only permanent job he was offered was a humble organist’s post in Versailles and, to cap it all, his mother, who had herself been desperately unhappy in the city, for ill and died. Leopold wrote instructing to Mozart to swallow his pride, head back to Salzburg and beg Colloredo to reinstate him (which he did). Miserable as they were, however, Mozart’s travels were far from fruitless. He had been particularly impressed with the orchestra at Mannheim which, unlike the Salzburg court orchestra, comprised players each of whom was a virtuoso in his own right. They frequently performed concertante works with two or more of them taking solo roles, and we can safely assume that Mozart, who boasted that he could “adopt and imitate all forms and styles of composition”, would have tried his hand as several such worse, although they have subsequently been lost. However on his return to Salzburg Mozart set to work on another which has survived and ranks as one of these most sublimed creations. The exact circumstances of the first performances of his Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola are not known, but it seems probably it was first performed in Salzburg towards the end of 1779 with Mozart’s deputy concert-master, Antonio Brunetti, and Joseph Hafeneder as the soloists. There is little in the jolly first movement to hint at the sadness surrounding the work’s composition. Among the many delights in the orchestral introduction a pair of horns enter into a charming dialogue with a pair of oboes before the solo duo emerge with a wealth of opulent themes. To project it above the orchestral viola, Mozart writes the solo viola part scordatura – sounding a tone above normal – giving it an unusually pleading character, which is highlighted in the profound second movement. With his desperately ad, clearly deeply heartfelt theme, this movement seems to reflect Mozart’s sorrow at the death of his mother, his lost love, and his shattered dreams. All gloom is lifted with the bubbling third movement in which the two solo instruments chase each playfully around and abetted by the orchestra, who take the opportunity to give a final airing of the delightful dialogue between horns and oboes we heard at the work’s very outset.

Antonín Dvořák

Symphony no. 9 in E minor, op. 95,“ From the New World”

THE COMPOSER Aaron Copland may have been keen to create a genuinely American musical language in his Clarinet Concerto, but the idea was not new. A full six decades earlier, Congress had given its support to a project aimed at achieving just such a goal; although in the event, that produced very different, if arguably more spectacular, results. In 1892 the Americans planned a series of celebrations to mark the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the “New World” and of European involvement in their country. As part of the celebrations, a National Conservatory of Music was founded in New York and it was decided to invite Dvořák to become the Director. His brief was, as he himself put it, “to show them the way to the promised land, a land of new and autonomous art; in short, I’m to create a national American music!” He began his work at the National Conservatory on 1 October 1892, and made his American conducting debut to huge acclaim three weeks later. THE BACKGROUND Three months after first arriving on American soil, Dvořák started work on his ninth symphony, in which he intended to make use of that new “national American music”. Dvořák believed that it was from the black and indigenous peoples that any uniquely American music originated and he was keen to show that such music deserved serious consideration. He did not actually borrow any authentic folk melodies for the symphony but, in his own words, “I tried only to write in the spirit of those national melodies”. This caused such a stir that when the news was announced that he was planning an “American” symphony, everyone clamoured for some idea as to what it would contain. Was it going to be a great work in the European model, or was it going to be a motley collection of melodies from native American and African slave communities? To this day, critics and musicologists seek evidence of genuine folk melodies in the work, but it seems that all the fine tunes in the symphony are original ideas by Dvořák himself. Only at the very last moment did he decide to give the symphony a title – “From the New World” – which, he explained, was meant to convey “impressions and greetings from America”. PERFORMANCE HISTORY Rumours about this new “American” symphony attracted huge interest and whipped the public into a frenzy of anticipation. Both the New York Herald and the New York Daily Tribune ran long articles about the composer and his new symphony (which, incidentally, was originally published as Dvořák’s “fifth”). Its premiere, which was given by the New York Philharmonic under Anton Seidl on 16 December 1893, was unique in all Dvořák’s experience and probably no other purely orchestral work has been so enthusiastically received either at its premiere or since.

THE MUSIC Despite his personal and financial success, Dvořák remained desperately homesick and left New York for good after just three years. Feelings of melancholy and loneliness are immediately evident with the subdued start of the first movement. A stern, dance-like idea builds to an agitated climax after which comes an athletic theme introduced by the horns before the flute plays a memorable theme possibly inspired by the Spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”. Solemn, hymn-like brass chords open the second movement and gradually subside to give room for the muted strings to provide a lovely cushion of sound above which one of the most gorgeous solos ever written for the cor anglais unfolds with total tranquillity. Dvořák, while confirming that this melody was entirely original, did concede that it had been inspired by the legend of the great Red Indian chief, Hiawatha, beside the grave of his beloved Minnehaha. The third movement is a vigorous dance which has its origins firmly rooted in the music of Dvořák’s native Bohemia, but at the same time has strong affinities with the second movement of Beethoven’s ninth symphony. Also showing the influence of Beethoven’s ninth, the fourth movement harks back to various themes from the earlier movements all wrapped up in an exuberant outpouring of fiery energy culminating in a triumphant statement from the brass (above rolling timpani) of the movement’s opening theme. But that’s not quite the end of it; the final chord drifts away longingly as if we have gone full circle and despite all the excitement and novelty of the New World, Dvořák still hankers after the Old.
