Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

began his tenure as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra in 2002. His long-term commitment extends to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is enlarging and enhancing its community programming at home, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, continues its historic championship of new composers through commissions and premieres, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010. With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Mr. Welser-Möst has launched a Community Music Initiative, taking The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with universities across Northeast Ohio. Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has established an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall, and at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland. Together, they have also appeared at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency included five sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka. In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual three-week Cleveland Orchestra Miami Residency in Florida and launches a new biennial residency in New York City in 2011 as part of the Lincoln Center Festival. Artistic highlights of Franz Welser-Möst’s first eight seasons as Music Director in Cleveland featured thirteen world and thirteen United States premieres. Through the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, and Toshio Hosokawa in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought additional new voices to the Orchestra’s repertoire, including Matthias Pintscher, Marc-André Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, and Jörg Widmann. Franz Welser-Möst has led opera performances each season during his P H OTO BY D O N S N Y D E R

tenure in Cleveland. Following six opera-inconcert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall in 2009, leading four sold-out performances of a Zurich Opera production of The Marriage of Figaro. The cycle of Mozart/Da Ponte operas concludes with Don Giovanni during the 2010-11 season. Franz Welser-Möst was appointed General Music Director Designate of the Vienna State Opera in 2007. He began his directorship at the start of the 2010-11 season, leading performances of Puccini’s La Bohème and a production of Wagner’s Tannhaüser that he premiered last season. During the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, he premiered a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle in tandem with stage director Sven-Eric Bechtolf. He has also led performances with the company of Wagner’s Parsifal and Tristan and Isolde, along with Strauss’s Die Frau ohne Schatten and Arabella. In June 2010, Mr. Welser-Möst conducted the Vienna Philharmonic in its annual outdoor “Summer Night” concert at Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace, and he will lead its New Year’s Day concert telecast worldwide on January 1, 2011. Other recent and upcoming guest-conducting engagements have included appearances with the Berlin Philharmonic and Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as opera performances in Zurich. Franz Welser-Möst first appeared at the Salzburg Festival in 1985, made his American debut in 1989, and served as music director of the London Philharmonic (1990-96). Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as General Music Director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals. Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and two Grammy nominations. With The Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD recordings of live performances of four Bruckner symphonies (presented in three accoustically distinctive venues): Symphony No. 5 in the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Symphony No. 9 in Vienna’s Musikverein, and Symphonies Nos. 7 and 8 at Severance Hall. With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, La Bohème, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes. For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honorary membership in the Vienna Singverein, and the appointment as an Academician of the Yuste European Academy Foundation. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director September 2010 Welcome to Severance Hall, and a wonderful season ahead under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. The Orchestra and Franz begin their ninth season together on a wave of acclaim from their successful European tour. Previewing the tour from Severance Hall, The London Times wrote, “The unity of each section under Welser-Möst’s baton is a revelation; I have honestly never heard orchestral playing quite this breathtaking.” Writing from the Grafe-negg Festival in Austria, the Kurier asked, “And how does The Cleveland Orchestra sound with Welser-Möst on the podium? The answer is simple: Magnificent!” In August, the Orchestra and Blossom Festival audiences celebrated Franz’s 50th birthday. September marks another auspicious date — the beginning of Franz’s tenure as the new General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera. He holds this position concurrently with his music directorship here in Cleveland, where he has a commitment through the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Alongside this fall’s first performances back at Severance Hall, the Orchestra continues its Community Music Initiative, now in its second year, performing Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring on September 24 at John Adams High School in the Cleveland Municipal School District. Last season, Franz showed an extraordinary rapport with students at on-site high school concerts in Cleveland and during the Orchestra’s Miami Residency. Franz has an affinity for the symphonies of Anton Bruckner, whose music he and the Orchestra have recorded extensively — most recently in August, making a live DVD recording of the Symphony No. 8 here at Severance Hall. Judging from a performance of Bruckner’s Eighth in August at the Abbey of St. Florian in Linz, the Kronen Zeitung called the Orchestra “an ideal magic harp’’ for Franz. The Kleine Zeitung wrote during the European tour that “Franz Welser-Möst performed Anton Bruckner’s music the way the composer wanted it performed.” Together this season, Franz and the Orchestra will perform Bruckner in a variety of settings, including a Suntory Hall (Tokyo) Residency during its Asian tour this November, as well as performances here at Severance Hall this fall and next spring. The Bruckner celebration culminates next summer in New York City with the Orchestra’s inaugural Residency at the Lincoln Center Festival, when it performs four symphonies by the Linz master alongside works by American composer John Adams. As we begin the season, we thank you for your enthusiastic ongoing support. It takes all of you to make our work possible, and we ask for your continued generosity so that we can continue to enjoy success in the months ahead.

The Cleveland Orchestra

The musicians, board of trustees, staff, and volunteers of The Cleveland Orchestra salute Franz Welser-Möst at the start of his ninth season as Music Director. Since becoming music director in 2002, Franz has been an inspiring leader to The Cleveland Orchestra’s musicians and to the Musical Arts Association as a whole. This month he also became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera, one of the world’s most illustrious opera companies. He begins this in tandem with his full-time commitment to The Cleveland Orchestra, bringing ties to additional world-class musical resources to Northeast Ohio and once again confirming his renown and talent, now as the artistic leader of two of the world’s most acclaimed musical institutions. In his first eight seasons, Franz has appointed 28 of the Orchestra’s 105 musicians, preserving and further developing the players’ legendary ensemble work. As the New York Times said about the Orchestra’s most recent visit to Carnegie Hall: “And the sound? Wow.’’ Under Franz’s leadership, the Orchestra became the first American orchestra to have an ongoing residency at Vienna’s Musikverein, and it continues to build upon its progressive business model of worldwide residencies. Following celebrations of his 50th birthday this past summer, in the coming year Franz and the Orchestra bring forward a special focus on the symphonies of Anton Bruckner, a fellow Austrian for whose music Franz shares a special affinity. With his quiet determination, his quirky sense of fun (you can follow his tweets on Twitter), and his unstinting quest for excellence, Franz is leading The Cleveland Orchestra through a new period of artistic triumph. Franz, we salute you. PHOTO BY JOHANNES IFKOVITS

From The Cleveland Orchestra Blog:

August 18: The Cleveland Orchestra and Music Director Franz Welser-MĂśst performed at Usher Hall in Edinburgh, Scotland, last night to a capacity audience as part of the annual Edinburgh International Festival. The program had three short pieces by Charles Ives, and then after the intermission, the Orchestra performed Brucknerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eighth Symphony. . . . Immediately following the concert, Franz met an international youth orchestra made of more than 100 students from England, Scotland, and South Korea. They are participating in a project called Music Behind the Lines, that creates opportunities in the music business and new partnerships, and develops future music leaders. Franz welcomed them and answered their questions about conducting and his career.

ST. FLORIAN

August 22: In the performance of Brucknerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eighth Symphony at the Abbey of St. Florian in Linz, Austria, the Cleveland Orchestra strings shimmered as they echoed in the giant church, and you could physically feel the sound of the timpani in the climactic rhythms of the piece. One of the horn players mentioned that it almost felt like the rests, the silent moments in the music, were perfectly matched to the reverberation in the vast space. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to describe being in St. Florian, because words and photos canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convey the astounding dĂŠcor of the interior. . . . There is a great sense of joy conveyed through many smiling cherubs. Franz Welser-MĂśst greeted the Orchestra earlier in the day by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to my neighborhood,â&#x20AC;? because he grew up nearby and feels deeply connected to the music and culture. . . . At a post-concert reception hosted by supporter and sponsor, Raiffeisen Landesbank OberĂśsterreich, a major Austrian bank, Franz was awarded a Gold Medal from the Austrian government for his work as a cultural ambassador. August 23: The Cleveland Orchestra was the first American orchestra to perform in Merano, Italy, to open the month-long Merano Music Festival, celebrating its 25th anniversary.

OrchestraNews The Cleveland Orchestra’s newest recording was released earlier this summer in Europe and is now available in the United States. The CD, released by Deutsche Grammophon, features the Orchestra performing music of Richard Wagner under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, with soprano Measha Brueggergosman singing Wagner’s Wesendonck Songs. The recording has garnered strong praise from the press, including: “A grandly moving collaboration. . . . Few orchestras can compete with the gossamer sheen that The Cleveland Orchestra posseses.” —Audiophile Audition “The Cleveland Orchestra, with its tight, piercing brass and soaring strings, plays fabulously throughout.” —ArkivMusic.com “Welser-Möst’s conception is seamless and transcendent.” —ClassicalSource

Cleveland Orchestra Music Director Franz Welser-Möst became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera at the start of this season. He opened the season in Vienna in early September, leading performances of Wagner’s Tannhaüser and Puccini’s La Bohème in repertory. Franz had led the premiere of the new Tannhaüser production in June, at which time he said in an interview with the Vienna Courier that “Tannhäuser is a romantic opera, where you can hear music history — you hear the resonance of Spontini, of Beethoven. Wagner was looking beyond the Alps toward the South. This is what I want to make audible. There are very song-influenced sections and real hits.” London’s Financial Times praised Franz’s conducting as “always shimmering, warm and luminous,” and Vienna’s The Standard said, “Franz Welser-Möst knows how to light up the magic of color of the score.” Of the new season opening night performance, the Kurier newspaper said, “The future looks bright from the first two performances . . . with Welser-Möst and the orchestra creating a wonderful pairing to highlight the music.” And, in the dozens of serious media stories about Franz and his new leadership role in Austria, on a pop music radio station, Franz revealed that some of his favorite pop music choices include Deep Purple and Steppenwolf. He also said that Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” is a “hit” and it “rocks.”

Franz and the Vienna Philharmonic are teaming up for two special televised concerts this year, beginning with an outdoor performance at Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace this past summer on June 8. Over 100,000 spectators attended the celestial-themed program, while an additional 900,000 watched on television. Deutsche Grammophon has released a CD and DVD of the concert. Later this season, Franz will also lead the Philharmonic in its annual New Years concert, televised around the world on January 1, 2011— including locally in Northeast Ohio on WVIZ/ideastream.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Soothing Shockwaves THE REMARKABLE HISTORY

of 20th-century music would have taken a quite different course were it not for two masterpieces from which, many would argue, it all grew. To hear Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun alongside Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring is to marvel at the extreme contrast between Debussy’s delicate evocation of a sensuous afternoon in the forest and Stravinsky’s savage vision of prehistoric Russia. Yet both were unmistakably modern, and both composed for a Paris audience that was nothing if not culturally aware. Parisians were enthralled by Debussy’s poetic imagination — and both thrilled and outraged by Stravinsky’s uncompromising modernity. There is an equally strong contrast between the two works in the first half of this weekend’s concerts. Takemitsu’s evocative Dream/Window from 1985 is a direct descendant of Debussy’s sound A drawing world. The Japanese composer’s high standing among by Pablo Picasso composers of the late 20th century rests securely on his of Igor Stravinsky. dedication to nature (a garden, in this case) and his sensitivity to beautiful sound. Takemitsu’s quest for the world of the spirit was no less sincere than Bach’s, yet to move from a dream-world to Bach’s no-nonsense declaration of faith introduces a complete shift of sonority. This kind of shock is based on surprise, not the shock of outrage that Stravinsky’s famous work once let loose. —Hugh Macdonald Hugh Macdonald is Avis H.

of Kyoto, once the imperial capital of Japan, stands an ancient Buddhist temple called Saiho-ji, next to an equally ancient garden famous for its mosses. It offers a striking refuge from the modern city all around it, with the headquarters of many familiar hi-tech companies nearby. When the Kyoto Shinkin Bank commissioned a new orchestral work from Japan’s leading composer in 1985, Takemitsu was drawn to exploring this very garden as inspiration because he had always loved Japanese gardens and had already composed some works in which gardens are the principal theme. This piece, Dream/Window, views the garden in two ways: as in a dream, and as seen through a window. This binocular view reflects a further binary opposition between the inner life and outer reality. The city itself embodies a violent contrast between modern activity and ancient values of repose and contemplation, but in the music we are less aware of this striking contrast and more drawn to the subtle overlap of this double vision. The music repeats itself and reveals itself in a seemingly incoherent manner, as Takemitsu said, like the fragments of a dream. He added: “To make the inner and the outer resound simultaneously is the prime object of the music. Accordingly, it was necessary to alter the arrangement of the orchestra from the standard. The form of the music resembles that of a dream. While the details are clearly defined, their arrangement is left up to the

fortuities of the self-propelling narrative.” The score requires a solo group (flute, clarinet, and string quartet) to be at the front in the center. They represent the “inner self ” and also stand as a microcosm of the entire orchestra, in Takemitsu’s plan. Behind them are seated the two harps, celesta, and guitar, and behind these players, at the back, are the orchestral winds. The strings are to be divided into two equal groups and placed left and right. Although Takemitsu had very early been associated with the European post-World War II avant-garde, his music gradually moved closer to the visionary style of the French composer Olivier Messiaen, whose influence is clearly heard in this work, with its evocative and beautifully layered harmonies. In addition, Takemitsu never lost sight of his obsession with the sound-world inherent in Debussy’s music — and the delicacy and restraint of Dream/Window will surprise many who expect something more aggressive from an avant-garde composer of the 1980s. Takemitsu did sometimes write for Japanese traditional instruments, but he was more often content, as here, to exploit the amazing range of sounds and pitches to be obtained from the large modern symphony orchestra. —Hugh Macdonald © 

The “Moss Garden” at Saiho-ji, a Buddhist temple garden in Kyoto, Japan, that inspired Takemitsu to write Dream/Window. The temple and its grounds are thought to have been first built in the 8th century, but have been reconstructed several times. It was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.

At a Glance Takemitsu wrote Dream/Window in 1985 for a commission underwritten by Kyoto Shinkin Bank. It was first performed on September 9, 1985, in Kyoto, Japan, played by the Kyoto Municipal Symphony Orchestra conducted by Seiji Ozawa. This work runs about 10 minutes in performance.

About the Music

When Francine Evans sat down at Hospice to begin sewing her memory quilt, her own life seemed lost. After all, it was just a few days earlier that her daughter Jennie was laid to rest. At first, the sewing group was just something to take her mind off everything. But as Francine stitched the swatches of Jennieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes, her life started to come together, too. She found herself talking. And smiling. And healing a little more each day. At Hospice, we provide many services, like the Fabrics & Feelings group, to help survivors cope. Because we believe that death is no reason to stop living.

Mass in F major, BWV233 composed 1735-40 C O M PA R E D T O

Johann Sebastian

BACH

born March 31, 1685 Eisenach, Germany died July 28, 1750 Leipzig

At a Glance Bach wrote this Mass between 1735 and 1740. It is among a group of four Masses that Bach wrote to Latin texts. Because Bach was a devout Lutheran, they were for many years referred to as “Lutheran Masses,” but may well have been created as commissions for use in Catholic churches. This Mass runs about 30 minutes in performance. It calls for an orchestra of 2 oboes, 2 horns, strings, and continuo, plus a chorus and three solo singers.

Severance Hall 2010-11

the well-known Mass in B minor, Bach’s four shorter Masses are rareties, but for all the wrong reasons. Although they are much shorter and therefore easier to rehearse and perform than the big B minor, and although they offer much more rewarding choral material than most of Bach’s cantatas, it has always been known that the music is all, or nearly all, recycled from earlier works — and thus the taint of inauthenticity hangs over them. But Bach would never turn to music that was not worthy of him, and, in any case, he was incapable of writing music that isn’t brilliantly alive on every page. In the late 1730s, Bach, the devout Lutheran, evidently had a reason to write four Latin Masses. He had always been in the habit of borrowing from his own vast repertoire of earlier music, but at this point in his life (he was in his fifties) he lacked the inclination to compose new works unless the motivation came from within. That is argument enough for supposing that the Masses were commissioned, and the two favored candidates are the Catholic establishment in nearby Dresden and Bach’s Bohemian patron, Count Sporck. There is no real evidence to support either theory, so the why and the when remain unknown. The opening Kyrie is probably an early work. It had previously existed with a German chorale entering line by line in the top voice, replaced here by two oboes and two horns in unison. The counterpoint is old-fashioned but amazingly fluent. The Christe takes the Kyrie subject and neatly inverts it, so that at the return of the Kyrie, the tune can be both in its original and its upside-down form at the same time. The origin of the next two movements is unknown, but there is a sprightly feel to the Gloria, as if it came from a concerto grosso or a secular cantata. The momentum, as so often in Bach, is unstoppable, and when he gets to the words “Gratias agimus,” the choir parts refuse the expected fugal entries and come in all together in a burst of devotion and thanks. The Domine Deus is a bass solo with string accompaniment, and it leads directly into the Qui tollis, a marvelously expressive movement for the soprano soloist and oboe in plaintive dialogue. This, like the Quoniam that follows (for alto and violin solo), was adapted with great skill from Cantata No. 102, About the Music

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun [Prélude à l’Après-Midi d’un Faune] composed 1892-94 THIS WAS DEBUSSY’S

Claude

DEBUSSY born August 22, 1862 St. Germain-en-Laye, France died March 25, 1918 Paris

first masterpiece and in many ways can be seen as the first masterpiece of 20th-century music — even though it predated the new century by six years. It is hard to comprehend how a mere ten minutes of music for small orchestra can serve as a foundation stone for so much that came after. But whenever we hear this music, its magic is immediately apparent, as it was indeed to its first audience in 1894. It is even harder to realize that these few pages, with their mysteriously improvisatory air, took Debussy two years of patient toil to put together. He was still relatively unknown in Paris and had not written anything close to the visionary step into the unknown that the Prelude represents. In a sense, Debussy was simply writing a symphonic poem on a literary text, as Strauss, for example, had treated Lenau’s Don Juan a few years before. But Mallarmé’s L’Après-midi d’un faune was no conventional narrative poem, and it left no scope for the direct matching of music and words. Debussy’s intention was not to parallel the poem’s text, but to decorate it. In the note given out at the first performance, he explained: “The music of the Prelude is a very free illustration of Stéphane Mallarmé’s fine poem. It is not meant to be a synthesis

Although not written as a ballet, Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun was famously staged in 1912 by the Ballets Russes in Paris. Shown are two views of dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky as the faun. Scenery and costumes by Léon Bakst.

About the Music

of it but rather a series of settings across which pass the desires and dreams of the faun in the heat of the afternoon.” Many symphonic poems had merely evoked a tableau or a mood, but Debussy not only avoided any precision of character and action, he allowed his music to develop in an altogether free way. From the very first bar, the music starts and evolves without clear-cut notions of thematic balance or tonal precision. The famous flute solo with which the music begins sounds like an improvisation, not a theme, and its musical key is far from clear. Each time this melody comes back, its shape and its harmonic background are different, like a continuous variation. Once the flute solo has run its course, the clarinet, over a sharp horn chord, moves into a different atmosphere, laden with the whole-tone scales that Debussy had already marked as his own. When the oboe takes melodic charge, the warmth of the music grows from within. The middle section, over throbbing string chords, betrays the faun’s unmistakable passion, and the flute returns transfigured for the faun’s languid intoxication in the forest heat, interrupted by impulsive little movements and sudden charges of feeling. The closing pages have an epic dimension, as if a curtain is being closed on a whole world of poetic mystery. The orchestration throughout is of extraordinary delicacy, with the multiple division of the strings (Debussy’s preferred string sound) with solo violin and solo cello for added sweetness, and two harps. No heavy brass is needed, no timpani. The only percussion is the pair of miniature cymbals whose spare notes are like sparkles of light in the forest. —Hugh Macdonald ©  At a Glance Debussy began writing his Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (“Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun”) in 1892 and completed it in the summer of 1894. His original plan to compose a Prélude, Interlude, and Paraphrase finale — in which the verses, according to the poet’s wishes, would be recited by an actor — was abandoned, and a projected performance in Brussels (planned by Eugène Ysaÿe to introduce the young Debussy’s music)

did not come about. The first performance took place in Paris on December 22, 1894, conducted by Gustave Doret. The United States premiere was given by the Boston Orchestral Club under Georges Longy on April 1, 1902. This work runs about 10 minutes in performance. Debussy scored it for 3 flutes (the first including extensive solo passages), 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 harps, antique

cymbals, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun in October 1919, under the direction of Nikolai Sokoloff. It has been frequently programmed ever since, most recently as part of this summer’s 2010 Blossom Festival, under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, who also led performances of it during the Orchestra’s European Festivals Tour in August.

The Rite of Spring [Le Sacre du Printemps]: composed 1911-13; performed in the 1947 revised score

IGOR

STRAVINSKY born June 17, 1882 Oranienbaum, near St. Petersburg died April 6, 1971 New York

Severance Hall 2010-11

T H E R I T E O F S P R I N G sits at the head of classic 20th-century orchestral masterpieces — and will never be dislodged from that throne. Once thought to be beyond the pale of modernity, it has long been accepted as a thrilling concert work. We can never recreate the effect of surprise that so profoundly disturbed its first audience in Paris in May 1913. They came to watch a new ballet presented by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes (“Russian Ballet”) and were soon divided into opposing camps — some horrified, some ecstatic with admiration. Not only was the music unexpectedly different, the choreography created by Nijinsky was a conscious attempt to revive primitive movement and steps, the very opposite of what every ballet school had trained their dancers to do. Even so, to this day, no ballet interpretation can compete on equal terms with this music. And it is thus in the concert hall and through recordings that The Rite of Spring enjoys its popularity and scandalous success. Large orchestras had been around since Wagner started his Ring of the Nibelung operas in the middle of the 19th century, and had been normal since Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben (“A Hero’s Life”) just before the turn of the century. A ballet based on Russian folk themes using an oversize orchestra would not have occasioned any surprise if Stravinsky had not invested every bar with a distraught tension generated by intensive chromaticism and, even in the slow sections, disturbing rhythmic dislocations. Repetition and riff replaced the traditional thematic structure. Stravinsky, for his part, found the whole process perfectly normal. His vision of primitive Russia and the elemental force of the Russian spring seemed to him complete justification for the appropriate expression in music designed to serve the stage action. He did not set out to shock or outrage. He simply wrote down what he heard as a product of what his mind’s eye saw. “I am the vessel through which Le Sacre passed,” he said with alarming self-abasement. Stravinsky has described the origins of the idea: “I saw in my imagination a solemn pagan rite: wise elders, seated in a circle, watching a young girl dance herself to death. They were sacrificing her to propitiate the god of spring.” He worked out About the Music

CONCER T 2

At a Glance Stravinsky wrote the scenario to the ballet Le Sacre du Printemps (“The Rite of Spring”) in collaboration with the painter-writer Nikolai Roerich in 1910-11 and composed the music in 1912-13. It was first performed on May 29, 1913, by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, with Pierre Monteux conducting. The sets were by Roerich, and the choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky. The Rite of Spring runs about 30 minutes in performance. Stravinsky scored it for piccolo, 3 flutes (one doubling second piccolo), alto flute, 4 oboes (one doubling second english horn), english horn, small clarinet in E-flat, 3 clarinets (one doubling second bass clarinet), bass clarinet, 4 bassoons (one doubling second contrabassoon), contrabassoon, 8 horns (two doubling tenor tubas), 4 trumpets (one doubling bass trumpet), piccolo trumpet, 3 trombones, 2 tubas, timpani, percussion (bass drum, tambourine, cymbals, antique cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, güiro [a scraped gourd]), and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed The Rite of Spring in March 1935, conducted by Artur Rodzinski. The most recent performances were at Severance Hall in April 2003, with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting.

the eventual scenario in collaboration with Nicholas Roerich, a writer and designer with special knowledge of prehistoric Russia. The sections of the work are: Part I. The Adoration of the Earth Introduction Auguries of Spring (Dances of the Young Girls) Mock Abduction Round Dance Ritual of the Rival Tribes Procession of the Wise Elder Adoration of the Earth Dance of the Earth Part II. The Sacrifice Introduction Mystic Circle of the Young Girls Glorification of the Chosen Victim The Summoning of the Ancestors Ritual of the Ancestors Sacrificial Dance (The Chosen One) The sections run into one another, but are not too difficult to identify as the music changes. There is not much pause for breath or repose. Russian folksong lies behind many of the themes. Auguries of Spring introduces a famously dissonant chord stamped out by the strings and punctuated by eight horns. The Round Dance of Spring is broad and ponderous, and the Procession of the Wise Elder has a relentless heavy tread beneath an ungainly tune on four tubas. Part II begins with some ravishing sounds from the woodwinds and divided strings in a steady flow of even notes. Elsewhere, the rhythms are constantly broken up and fragmented, nowhere so furiously as in the final Sacrificial Dance, the fury of which touches on a primeval violence that was quite new to music at that time. It is curious to reflect that Stravinsky, in his outward style the doyen of 20th-century cosmopolitan sophisticates, was tapping into a source of some atavistic life force as threatening and as brutal as anything history had ever witnessed. World War I was shortly to make this horrific vision of ritual slaughter a reality. —Hugh Macdonald © 

Meet Robert Conrad Cleveland Orchestra Trustee, Heritage Society member, co-founder of classical radio station WCLV, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts? Jean and I have been attending since about 1962, the year C.K. “Pat” Patrick and I co-founded WCLV. Your favorite symphony? Sibelius Symphony No. 1 When did you start broadcasting The Cleveland Orchestra on WCLV? We’ve been broadcasting concerts since 1965. Now it’s 2010, and we’re still broadcasting Orchestra concerts as well as streaming them live over the internet. WCLV will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, and I’ve been commentator for what’s become the longest running continuous orchestra broadcast series in the history of American radio! And, in Bob’s own words, from his WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . . This is Robert Conrad. As a Cleveland Orchestra Trustee and member of the Orchestra’s Heritage Society, I’d like to invite you to join my wife, Jean, and me in support of this wonderful Cleveland treasure. The Orchestra provides all of us with world-class music right here in our hometown and represents Cleveland at its finest throughout the world. And one of the ways that we support the Orchestra is through a charitable gift annuity. A gift annuity allows us to make a generous gift and at the same time receive income for life. Please join Jean and me, and the many other Heritage Society members who have created a Cleveland Orchestra Gift Annuity.” To learn how you can become a member of the Heritage Society, contact Jim Kozel, Director of Legacy Giving, by calling 216-231-7549 or via email to jkozel@clevelandorchestra.com or visit clevelandorchestra.com and click on Support, then Heritage Society THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra

Meet Margaret Mitchell Cleveland Orchestra Heritage Society Co-Chair, member, and Heritage Society ambassador on WCLV How many years have you been attending Orchestra concerts? Bill and I have been going to Orchestra concerts ever since we were married and came to Cleveland — sixty years. We spent many family summer evenings at Blossom when our children were young. Your favorite composer? I really love the ability of the Orchestra to play any music well, so I have to say I like whatever the Orchestra plays. But Mahler and Bruckner are classical favorites; Ives and Adams, among more recent composers. Your most memorable concerts? Because of the different venues, Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony in old Lucerne; Shostakovich in Miami. Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony — the final movement encore in the Canary Islands. It’s difficult to pick out a favorite at Severance. I love most all of them. And, in Margaret’s own words, from her WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . . Bill and I think The Cleveland Orchestra makes Cleveland a great place to live. — the superb concerts. — the talented orchestra musicians who contribute much to our community and represent us so well around the world. — the education programs building future audiences. These are some of the reasons we created a planned gift, securing lifelong income for us. It also makes sense for the Orchestra, helping to build the endowment. We want The Cleveland Orchestra that we love to enrich the lives of our children and grandchildren as it has for us. With your own planned gift, please join us as proud members of the Heritage Society. To learn how you can become a member of the Heritage Society, contact Jim Kozel, Director of Legacy and Planned Giving, by calling 216-231-7549 or via email at jkozel@clevelandorchestra.com or go to clevelandorchestra.com and click on Support, then Heritage Society THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra invites you to take a seat at Severance Hall or Blossom Music Center . . .

In conjunction with the Orchestra’s 60th Anniversary the following year, seat endowments for Severance Hall were inaugurated by the Women’s Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra. Endowing a seat is a unique and meaningful way to honor someone’s love for The Cleveland Orchestra and its role in our community. Seat endowments help ensure the Orchestra’s financial stability for future generations of school children and concertgoers. Each seat endowment gift is recognized by a nameplate affixed to the seat, associating the donor’s name with The Cleveland Orchestra.

The Cleveland Orchestra has been supported by large numbers of dedicated volunteers since its founding in 1918. Opportunities for volunteering include membership in a variety of organizations and performing groups, and involvement with education, fundraising, and other projects. The Orchestra’s Volunteer Council was established in 1998 to reinforce the impact that volunteers have on the mission of the Orchestra.

the Orchestra Store at Severance and the Blossom Bandwagon Gift Shop. For more information about these volunteer opportunities, please call (216) 231-7425.

Two standing volunteer committees provide important support each year. The Women’s Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1921 to support the Orchestra’s educational activities. Now open to men as well as women, the Women’s Committee continues its support of the Orchestra through music education, service, and fundraising. The Blossom Women’s Committee, established in 1968, is a state-wide organization that assists in promoting and sustaining each summer’s Blossom Festival.

As a token of gratitude, the Crescendo patron program honors those generous donors who have made a gift of $2,500 or more in annual operating support to The Cleveland Orchestra. For more information on how you can impact The Cleveland Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic excellence and community partnerships, please contact Hayden Howland, Manager of Leadership Giving, by calling (216) 231-7545.

SEVERANCEHALL.COM

of the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland newspaper editorial stated: “We believe that Mr. Severance intended to build a temple to music, and not a temple to wealth; and we believe it is his intention that all music lovers should be welcome there.” John Long Severance (president of the Musical Arts Association, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated most of the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant HAILED AS ONE

Severance Hall 2010-11

Severance Hall

Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citizens for performances, meetings, and gala events each year.

of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its ninth season, and with a commitment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018, has moved the ensemble forward with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: UNDER THE LEADERSHIP

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base, including an ongoing residency at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra); an annual Miami Residency involving three weeks of concerts, community activities, and educational presentations and collaborations; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe (including biennial residencies at the Lucerne Festival) and Asia (including a residency at Tokyo’s Suntory Hall in the autumn 2010); ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst and Pierre Boulez as well as a series of DVD concert presentations of four of Bruckner’s symphonies; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; an expanded offering of education and community programs through the comprehensive Community Music Initiative, to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life in Northeast Ohio; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities from across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and across the Miami-Dade community; the return of staged opera to Severance Hall with the presentation of acclaimed Zurich Opera productions of the three Mozart/Da Ponte operas;

A Remarkable Story

The Cleveland Orchestra

an array of new concert offerings (including Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to make a wider variety of concerts more available and affordable; the return of ballet to Blossom, with performances by The Joffrey Ballet. The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. The opening of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home in 1931 brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and accoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

ON THE RECORD
