Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director April 2013 At the end of March, The Cleveland Orchestra received a $10 million, five-year grant from The Cleveland Foundation — the largest such commitment to an arts organization in the Foundation’s history and one of the largest gifts ever received by the Orchestra. We are deeply grateful for this exceptional grant and for the confidence in the Orchestra’s strategic direction that it represents. Over the past year, the Foundation’s staff and board have rigorously assessed the Orchestra’s ongoing transformation, and we sincerely appreciate their generous support of this important work. The Cleveland Foundation grant is a testament to much more than the Orchestra’s historical ranking among the world’s best — it is an extraordinary commitment to our programming innovations and our active community engagement. Sweeping changes at The Cleveland Orchestra have taken root in recent years and are starting to bear fruit. These include our efforts to foster future audiences, to shape and focus our education programs, and our work to build strong and meaningful working partnerships across the Northeast Ohio community. We are on target for a record-breaking season in ticket sales here at Severance Hall, including a significant increase in the number of young people eagerly enjoying and energizing our regular classical concerts. These numbers are the direct result of strong marketing programs (such as Student Advantage and Under18s Free) for our core symphonic concerts and innovative programming changes (including the KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity series). Our education and community programs are also scoring strong successes. Our longstanding commitment to education was celebrated in March, including a unique showcase concert featuring all our youth ensembles performing together with The Cleveland Orchestra for the first time — a special event that was telecast on WVIZ. In addition, we believe that the introduction of “Make Music!” as a focus and catalyst for our ongoing work in music education will bring new understanding and energy to these programs. New initiatives in the community include the Orchestra’s inaugural neighborhood residency, “At Home in Gordon Square,” which unleashes a week filled with free events and performances, May 11-17, as part of the vibrant renaissance of this westside neighborhood. Good news about The Cleveland Orchestra and Northeast Ohio will continue. The initial stages of our Sound for the Centennial Campaign’s endowment and special fundraising phases have been strong, as evidenced by The Cleveland Foundation’s generous gift and by commitments from additional forward-looking organizations and individuals (see pages 50-51). This Campaign spans the decade up to the Orchestra’s hundredth birthday in 2018, and comprises all our fundraising efforts across the next five years. With your support and enthusiasm, there will be more good news ahead — for The Cleveland Orchestra and the entire Northeast Ohio community.

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 eleventh 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); expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the 2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

gram that will bring The Cleveland Orchestra to neighborhoods across the region for an intensive week of special activities and performances. First stop is the Gordon Square Arts District in Cleveland’s Detroit/Shoreway neighborhood in May 2013; an ongoing residency in Florida, under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, involving an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with an expansive set of educational presentations and collaborations (based on successful educational programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and in Miami; 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; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including annual appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe and Asia; ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner; a concentrated and ongoing effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media offers and promotion, and student ticket programs; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring performances by The Joffrey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured the Orchestra’s first fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker. 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 in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home 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 acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States.

T H E 2 0 1 2 - 1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s eleventh year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing artistic excellence, 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, Franz Welser-Möst has taken 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 music conservatories and 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 another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and 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 multi-week Cleveland Orchestra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in 2011, launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival. To the start of this season, The Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen world and fifteen United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction. Through the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-André Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, and Sean Shepherd. Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

Music Director

in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the MozartDa Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012. Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the company has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director SvenEric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème, and Berg’s Wozzeck. Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan, as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast in seventy countries worldwide; he conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at the start of 2013 and also leads the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall in March 2013. 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 Bruckner symphonies, presented in three acoustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musikverein, and 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, 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, appointment as an Academician of the European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

Cleveland Foundation grants Orchestra $10 million Largest gift to an arts organization in Foundation’s history is vote of conﬁdence in The Cleveland Orchestra’s programming innovations and community engagement across Northeast Ohio

—Cleveland Plain Dealer, March 28

The Cleveland Foundation has awarded The Cleveland Orchestra a $10 million grant to support its ongoing efforts to cultivate new and broader audiences and to build a strong endowment to sustain the nearly century-old institution. The grant . . . is a demonstration of the grantmaking organization’s confidence in the strategic direction the orchestra is taking, said Robert Eckardt, The Cleveland Foundation’s executive vice president. . . . “It was time to step up and provide a significant commitment to the Orchestra as they work through the challenging environment they find themselves in,” Mr. Eckardt said. . . . “They are an important part of Cleveland’s brand, and it’s difficult to imagine Cleveland without a world-class orchestra.” . . . Gary Hanson, the orchestra’s executive director, stated that The Cleveland Foundation’s commitment . . . adds “meaningful momentum” to the Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial fundraising campaign, which runs through 2018 — the orchestra’s 100-year anniversary.

“The Cleveland Foundation’s just-announced $10 million grant to The Cleveland Orchestra — the largest arts grant in the foundation’s history — is a ringing vote of confidence in the future of this treasured local institution and its pacesetting innovations. . . . The grant is a welcome affirmation that The Cleveland Orchestra will be making beautiful music for another 100 years.”

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

On March 28, The Cleveland Foundation announced the awarding of a five-year, $10 million grant to The Cleveland Orchestra in support of the Orchestra’s recent and ongoing efforts to attract a new, broader audience and to transform itself for the future. Given as part of the Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign, this unprecedented grant is the largest single grant to an arts organization in the Foundation’s 99-year history. “We are deeply grateful for the Cleveland Foundation’s extraordinary grant and the confidence in the Orchestra’s strategic direction that it represents,” says Gary Hanson, executive director of The Cleveland Orchestra. “Over the past year, the foundation’s staff and board have rigorously assessed the Orchestra’s ongoing transformation and we sincerely appreciate their generous commitment to our work.” “Through the years, the Cleveland Foundation has stepped up to provide significant support to major Northeast Ohio institutions at pivotal times,” remarked Ronald B. Richard, president and chief executive officer of the Foundation. “We intend that this grant will catalyze additional leadership funding for the Orchestra’s creative efforts in the community to make this world-class institution accessible and enjoyable to all of Greater Cleveland for years to come.” The grant to the Orchestra was part of a record $26.6 million in grants in the first quarter of 2013 authorized by the Foundation’s board of directors, including grants in support of core neighborhood and youth initiatives, educational institutions, and efforts to create a vibrant downtown. Established in 1914, the Cleveland Foundation is the world’s first community foundation and one of the largest today. Through the generosity of donors, the foundation improves the lives of Greater Clevelanders by building community endowment, addressing needs through grantmaking, and providing leadership on vital issues.

The Cleveland Orchestra has announced its 2013-14 season, with complete details and renewal forms due to be mailed to all current subscribers in the coming weeks. (For the first time, series subscriptions can be renewed online through the Orchestra’s website — complete instructions are included in each subscriber’s mailed renewal package.) Series packages for the season’s classical concerts are available through Severance Hall Ticket Services as of the end of March. Individual tickets to the season will go on sale in late summer. Additional details about the 2013-14 season — including Celebrity Series, Family Concert Series, PNC Musical Rainbows, Holiday Concerts, and special presentations — will be announced in the coming months. For the 2013-14 season, Franz WelserMöst introduces a Fall Festival, pairing symphonies by Beethoven and Shostakovich, and an all-Brahms weekend with two programs featuring works by Brahms, and also leads semi-staged performances of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen. Guest artists returning to Severance Hall include Leon Fleisher, Mitsuko Uchida, Radu Lupu, and conductors Christoph von Dohnányi, Pierre Boulez, and Herbert Blomstedt. The Orchestra commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Britten with performances of three of his major works. FRANZ WELSER-MÖST CONDUCTS In his twelfth season as music director, Franz Welser-Möst introduces a Fall Festival in October, featuring symphonies by Beethoven and Shostakovich in three programs. Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are paired with Shostakovich’s Nos. 6, 8, and 10. In addition to conducting the performances at Severance Hall, Welser-Möst will speak about the program pairings in a special festival preview. “The dream of freedom inspired the

founding of our society,” says Welser-Möst. “Political and social freedom is presented so emotionally and clearly in Beethoven’s music. By listening to the music of Beethoven and Shostakovich in juxtaposition, we can experience their ideas of freedom from different eras, yet from today’s perspective.” Franz Welser-Möst continues an emphasis on operatic and choral repertoire in the 2013-14 season, with the Cleveland premiere performances of Janáček’s opera The Cunning Little Vixen and performances of Beethoven’s Mass in C major and Britten’s Spring Symphony. Soprano Martina Janková returns to perform the title role in The Cunning Little Vixen in May 2014. The cast also includes bass-baritone Alan Held and mezzo-sopranos Jennifer Johnson Cano and Julie Boulianne. The music of Brahms will be featured in two programs led by Welser-Möst in January 2014. Each program features the Violin Con-

In March 2014, Franz Welser-Möst conducts Britten’s Spring Symphony, a large work with soloists and chorus that Britten described as “a symphony not only dealing with the Spring itself but with the progress of Winter to Spring and the reawakening of the earth and life which that means.” In October 2013, Marek Janowski leads performances of Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings with soloists Matthew Polenzani and Cleveland Orchestra principal horn Richard King. The Serenade is a song cycle about night, sleep, and death, with texts by six British poets. And in May 2014, Janine Jansen performs Britten’s Violin Concerto under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski.

OrchestraNews George Gund Foundation supports The Cleveland Orchestra’s “Sound for the Centennial Campaign” with $3 million gift

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The George Gund Foundation awarded a $3 million grant at its February board meeting to support The Cleveland Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign. Pledged over six years, the award honors the late George Gund III, who was a trustee of the Musical Arts Association. The Foundation’s commitment permanently endows a new Fund for Artistic Excellence in George Gund’s name, providing immediate support for the Orchestra’s core artistic programming for the community. “This commitment to the Campaign not only celebrates George Gund’s legacy and leadership at the Orchestra,” said David Abbott, the Foundation’s executive director. “It also ensures that one of our community’s most valuable assets can continue to serve Northeast Ohio at the

highest levels of artistic excellence.” George Gund III was elected as an international trustee in 1994 and served on the board of the Musical Arts Association for 19 years. The new gift is the largest gift made by the Gund Foundation to The Cleveland Orchestra, and ranks among the largest institutional leadership commitments to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign thus far, as well as among the Foundation’s largest commitments to a cultural organization in Northeast Ohio. The Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign runs through the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 and will ensure that the Orchestra can continue to thrive now and into the future by building a significant endowment and providing immediate support for artistic excellence and community and education programs.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Spring audition dates for the choral groups sponsored by The Cleveland Orchestra have been announced. The auditions — for adults, youth, and children — are for membership in groups singing during the 2013 Blossom Music Festival and the 2013-14 Season at Severance Hall. Auditions will take place in May and June. The Cleveland Orchestra Choruses embody a long-standing commitment to choral music in which community members of all ages have the opportunity to participate. The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus is open to students in grades 6-8 and directed by Ann Usher, and the Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Preparatory Chorus is open to students in grades 5-8 and directed by Suzanne Walters. Both groups are holding auditions on May 20, June 3, and June 8. The Children’s Chorus, formed in 1967, provides musical training in vocal production and choral performance skills. The Children’s Preparatory Chorus provides children with initial choral experiences to which younger singers may not have been exposed, while establishing a solid foundation in vocal production techniques. To audition, children are asked to sing one verse of “America” (My Country, ’Tis of Thee) with piano accompaniment in the key of his or her choice and one verse of “America the Beautiful” (Oh beautiful, for spacious skies) without accompaniment in the key of D. Singing scales and doing some rhythmic exercises may also be included in the audition, for which an accompanist is provided. Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to audition for the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus, directed by Lisa Wong, on May 4, June 1, or June 2. Created in 1991, the Youth Chorus helps raise awareness of choral music-making in the schools of Northeast Ohio and encourages students to continue their choral activities through college and into adulthood. The Youth Chorus collaborates each season in performance with the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra. Youth Chorus audition requirements are to pre-

ing more local residents through transformative and innovative musical programming.” With the naming of the Kulas Dress Circle, the Orchestra permanently honors the Kulas Foundation, which has generously supported The Cleveland Orchestra for three-quarters of a century. With their lifelong passion of music, Elroy J. Kulas and his wife, Fynette, began supporting the Orchestra in 1919, long before they established the Kulas Foundation in 1937. Both later served as active members of the Musical Arts Association board of trustees. In the past three decades, the Kulas Foundation has contributed more than $10 million to The Cleveland Orchestra. Their generosity has helped support education programs as well as the construction and naming of Kulas Plaza at Blossom Music Center to provide updated services for donors. They recently committed $3 million for the Sound for the Centennial Campaign. “We are extraordinarily grateful to Kulas Foundation trustees Richard W. Pogue, Patrick F. McCartan, and Nancy W. McCann for their leadership in working to support The Cleveland Orchestra,” said Gary Hanson. “The Cleveland Orchestra is among Northeast Ohio’s top cultural gems,” continued Nancy McCann. “With our commitment to this Campaign, the Kulas Foundation honors the ensemble’s 100th anniversary and looks forward to the Orchestra’s ongoing role as a strong and vibrant part of this community’s future.”

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Two important parts of Severance Hall — the dress circle seating area of the Concert Hall, and the adjoining dress circle lobby — have been named in recognition of longterm support for The Cleveland Orchestra by two extraordinary local organizations: the John P. Murphy Foundation and the Kulas Foundation. Both have long historical relationships with the Orchestra and have made generous new funding commitments to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign, which spans the decade leading to the Orchestra’s 100th anniversary in 2018. “These two foundations represent a special kind of strong, ongoing commitment to the Orchestra — and to the entire Northeast Ohio community,” said Gary Hanson, executive director of The Cleveland Orchestra, in announcing the named spaces. “We are humbled by their generosity and by their faith in the Orchestra’s efforts to transform itself and to harness the passion and power of music to serve more people across the region.” The John P. Murphy Foundation is now permanently honored at Severance Hall with the naming of the John P. Murphy Dress Circle Lobby. The Foundation and its trustees and officers have been generous supporters of The Cleveland Orchestra since 1970, contributing more than $7.5 million. John P. Murphy began serving on the Musical Arts Association board of trustees in 1953 and continued as a trustee until 1968. The Foundation has made a ten-year commitment of funding to The Cleveland Orchestra as part of the comprehensive Sound for the Centennial Campaign. “The John P. Murphy Foundation has long understood the tremendous value that The Cleveland Orchestra holds for all of Northeast Ohio,” says Nancy W. McCann, president of the Foundation’s board of trustees. “Our $3 million commitment to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign is an investment in this community that will help the Orchestra sustain its world-renowned level of artistic excellence while engag-

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Love, Music & Change CARL ORFF’S CARMINA BURANA

is a big piece of bold power and hard punch. Its music and rhythms and words range far and wide, from boisterous energy to velvety smoothness, from jerky spontaneity to harmonious delight. All in a wonderfully modern-ish exploration of a Medieval set of texts that prove, again and again, that however much times changes, many aspects of life remain on the same circular path — the seasons of the year, the seasons of love, from birth to death, and on and on we go, spiraling through the universe. With Fate in constant, languorous pursuit, always catching us in the end, between the miseries and joys of everyday life. The opening work on this weekend’s program presents a different kind of transformation. While best known as a concerto for harpsichord, good detective work and conjecture have allowed musicologists to reconstruct Bach’s original outlines for it, as a concerto for oboe d’amore (a middle-voiced member of the oboe family). The Cleveland Orchestra’s solo english horn player, Robert Walters, performs as soloist on this rarely heard instrument, with assistant conductor James Feddeck stepping in to conduct the entire program for Franz Welser-Möst.

With deep regret, and following the advice of his doctor, Franz Welser-Möst is unable to travel to Cleveland for this weekend’s concerts to allow for ongoing physical therapy for severe back pain. The originally-announced program is being conducted by James Feddeck, assistant conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra.

These concerts are sponsored by KeyBank, a Cleveland Orchestra Partner in Excellence. Rebecca Nelsen’s appearance with The Cleveland Orchestra is made possible by a gift to the Orchestra’s Guest Artist Fund from the Margaret R. Griffiths Trust. With these concerts, The Cleveland Orchestra gratefully honors The John P. Murphy Foundation for its generous support. The concerts will end at approximately 9:40 p.m. each evening and at about 4:40 on Sunday afternoon. LIVE RADIO BROADCAST

Saturday evening’s concert is being broadcast live on WCLV (104.9 FM). Current and past Cleveland Orchestra concerts are broadcast as part of regular weekly programming on WCLV (104.9 FM), Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 4:00 p.m.

BACH

Severance Hall 2012-13

as a court musician, first as Konzertmeister at Weimar (1708-1717), then as Kapellmeister (a loftier post) in Köthen (1717-1723), Bach had ample opportunity to compose secular music for the entertainment of his noble listeners. In Köthen particularly, the prince was a talented musician himself, and maintained an orchestra of eighteen or so first-rate players, able to handle whatever challenges the brilliant Kapellmeister threw their way. Several of the “Brandenburg” concertos, his solo concertos for violin or oboe, and the ground-breaking works for unaccompanied violin or cello all made their debuts in the capable hands of the Köthen virtuosos. Taking the post of Cantor and civic music director in Leipzig in 1723 meant years of working on little but church music, composing the series of weekly cantatas that would eventually span three years’ worth of Sundays, plus teaching and other official duties, and generally working to upgrade the city’s musical life. Despite the sobriety of his public role, the streak of showmanship in Bach’s nature could not be entirely suppressed — some prominent parishioners at St. Thomas’s Church registered dismay at his “extravagant” organ improvisations and his “operatic” cantatas. So it must have been with some relief that Bach, his church and civic workload lightened, found time in 1729 to add a new post, as director of the Collegium Musicum. This institution with the august-sounding name was in fact one of the city’s major entertainments and tourist attractions, a hard working orchestra of university students that played a demanding schedule of concerts at Zimmermann’s coffeehouse. Germany’s master showman, Georg Philipp Telemann, had founded it two decades before, and Bach evidently took delight in bringing his old court concertos and suites to a new, enthusiastic audience. The resourceful Bach seems to have composed few new works for these occasions, relying instead on his inventory, particularly of concertos for violin or oboe from his time in Köthen, many of which he converted into a new genre, the harpsichord concerto. In so doing, without realizing it, he was preserving works that would otherwise have been lost to posterity. By comparing the violin and oboe concertos that have survived About the Music

to their keyboard versions, scholars have learned enough about Bach’s transcribing technique to plausibly reconstruct the lost originals of other works. As early as 1936, the celebrated musicologist Donald Francis Tovey observed that the main themes and figurations in the Harpsichord Concerto in A major, BWV1055, were well suited to the oboe d’amore. This instrument, to which Bach gave poignant solos in his cantatas, is to the oboe family what the viola is to string instruments — the “middle child,” with a range lower than the oboe but higher than the english horn, and therefore useful in ensembles. The oboe d’amore’s slightly deeper pitch, and possibly its bulb-shaped bell, give it the soft, sweet, “floating” tone that is probably responsible for its fanciful name. (Some authorities believe the name refers to “Moors,” the Arab inventors of this type of instrument.) Since Bach’s time, composers have called for the oboe d’amore rarely, the best-known instance being a solo in Ravel’s Boléro. Listeners may judge for themselves the effectiveness of the instrument in this richly imaginative concerto. The first movement casts aside the ritornello form of Vivaldi — an orchestral refrain alternating with showy episodes for the soloist — in favor of a more unified idea, music that is driven throughout by a bouncy three-note rhythmic motif of ta-ta-tum. Buoyed by the irresistible beat, the soloist plays the role of first among equals, leading the ensemble on a cheerful expedition to distant harmonic lands. In the second movement, the drop in key from A major to F-sharp minor signals a radical change of mood, from sunny good spirits to a more veiled kind of expression, with a strong note of pathos. Bach delivers on that promise with a theme made of short, sighing phrases, a particularly slow and sad version of the siciliano, a shepherd’s dance. The soloist’s flowing lines have a certain ineffable dignity as they wind around the theme, creating expressive dissonances. The cheerful confidence of A major returns in the first bars of the finale, as the ensemble kicks off its distinctive ritornello with an emphatic upbeat. Characteristically, the oboe d’amore does not try to top the strings in brilliance, but slips in under them with gentler phrases. Gradually, however, borrowing some vigorous phrases from the refrain and spinning out lively scale passages, the soloist takes charge, leading the ensemble to a triumphant final return of the ritornello theme.

At a Glance Bach wrote a number of concertos for solo instruments and small orchestras during his years at Anhalt-Köthen, including several for solo violin. None of the original manuscripts for these survives. Bach later reworked six of these pieces as concertos for harpsichord, playing them on programs of the Leipzig Collegium Musicum, which held regular concerts on Friday evenings at a local coffeehouse. The scores for these have survived, from which musicologists have been able to create versions of the original solo concertos, including a version of a concerto in A major for oboe d’amore (a middle-voiced relative of the oboe and english horn). This concerto runs about 15 minutes in performance. The scoring calls for an orchestra of strings and continuo, plus the solo oboe d’amore. The Cleveland Orchestra is presenting this concerto for the first time with this weekend’s concerts.

I T W A S E A R LY I N T H E 1 9 T H C E N T U R Y that the Middle Ages began exerting a certain fascination on modern people. Although the centuries between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance suffered no shortage of great scientists, artists, and philosophers, the young Romantic poets and painters saw in those middle times an alternative to the cool, rational spirit of the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. They turned to the Gothic churches that stood all around them — many in a state of picturesque ruin — and conjured up an age of lusty monks and bawdy abbesses, a primitive “dark age” perhaps, but one unafraid to reach for both loft y ecstasies of the spirit and animal pleasures of the senses. After those poets and painters came cooler heads, scholarly medievalists concerned with cataloging, describing, and publishing works of art from that earlier period. It is to one of these, Johann Andreas Schmeller, that we owe the publication in 1847 of an important collection of 12th-century Latin and Old German secular poems, preserved in manuscript in an abbey in Benediktbeuren, near Munich. Schmeller gave them the title “Songs of Beuren” — in Latin, Carmina Burana. Today, the Middle Ages still conjure up vivid images. But to the fragrance of incense and wine, the 20th century has added the stench of warfare and pestilence. Chaucer gives way to Brueghel; our distant ancestors seem to have hungrily snatched their pleasures from the jaws of sickness and death. The musical expression of this idea crystallized suddenly in Frankfurt on June 8, 1937, at the first performance of Carmina Burana, a stunningly original setting of some of the poems from that manuscript, composed by a virtually unknown 41-year-old musician and teacher named Carl Orff. Subtitled Cantiones profanae, cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis (“Worldly songs, performed by singers and chorus accompanied by instruments and magical representations”), this stage spectacle with dancing and music aimed to induce profound emotions in the listener by the simplest, most easily understood musical means. How well it succeeded may be judged by three facts. Unlike many ground-breaking new works, Carmina Burana was cheered at its premiere. Since then, many sophisticated musi-

cians have denounced it as primitive and vulgar. And, lastly, Hollywood immediately seized Orff ’s new idiom as the musical accompaniment to scenes of barbaric hedonism and splendor — to the point where we must now remind ourselves that what we are hearing in Carmina Burana is not another product of the MGM editing room but the real thing, the original. This is, of course, the same Carl Orff who forever altered the way music is taught to young children by inventing percussion instruments that they could play before they developed skill at the keyboard; more importantly, he insisted that music, dance, speech, and other modes of expression be taught together. (Which is to say that, perhaps, Carmina Burana should be staged more often as a theatrical work, and not left almost completely to the musical confines of concert halls and home stereos.) His medieval people are child-like in their whims and passions, and in their helplessness before powers greater than themselves. Percussion instruments, a prominent feature of medieval music and the Orff classroom, loom large in the scoring of Carmina Burana as well. Appropriately for a work inspired by the Middle Ages, Orff ’s spectacle-cantata forms a triptych — three scenes of medieval life: In Springtime, In the Tavern, and at the Court of Love — framed on each side by an ode to “Fortuna” or Fate, the capricious force that people in the pre-technological age knew and understood very well. The outburst of full orchestra and chorus that opens the work is steeped in terror and resignation. Orff uses repetition and driving rhythms — elements that repelled some of his first listeners, but that sound familiar enough in our age of musical minimalism — to convey the inexorable grinding of Fortune’s wheel. The people “suffer” in the word’s original sense — they yield to the inevitable, they endure. Their reward arrives “In Springtime,” here celebrated first with the undulating sensuality of Gregorian chant, anchored by single pedal notes in the orchestra, punctuated by taps of percussion. But then the chorus returns in a mood to celebrate, ushering in a giddy outdoor festival full of dancers, saucy and suggestive comments, and tunes more like German folksong than liturgical chant. At this party, each musical number is wilder and more abandoned than the previous one. “In the Tavern,” however, the pictures are different — a medieval “angry young man,” alienated, rootless, living for Severance Hall 2012-13

About the Music

At a Glance Orff composed Carmina Burana in 1935-36. The work was premiered on June 8, 1937, in a staged performance (with sets and costumes) at the Frankfurt Opera, conducted by Bertil Wetzelberger. The first performance in the United States took place on January 10, 1954, in San Francisco. Carmina Burana runs about one hour in performance. Orff scored it for an orchestra of 3 flutes (second and third doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (third doubling english horn), 3 clarinets (third doubling piccolo clarinet in E-flat), bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (3 glockenspiels, xylophone, castanets, ratchet, jingles, 2 antique cymbals, 4 cymbals, tamtam, 3 bells, tubular bells, tambourine, 2 side drums, bass drum), 2 pianos, celesta, and strings, plus soprano, tenor, and baritone soloists, children’s chorus, and mixed chorus. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Carmina Burana at the inaugural Blossom Festival in August 1968, under the direction of Louis Lane. The most recent performances took place in May 2010 at Severance Hall, led by Robert Porco.

vice; a beautiful bird roasted black for men’s hungry mouths; a smarmy hustler-Abbot, living on others’ misfortunes; and a chorus of desperate men drinking to forget. All singing in accents ranging from stark anguish to gloating and even a sarcastic parody of an operetta chorus. What a relief to leave that bitter place for “The Court of Love”! Even here, though, some longings go unrequited, and dark orchestral colors conjure up the lonely corners where the solitary bemoan their fate. Gradually, however, the music grows in brightness and energy, culminating in the ecstatic musings of the maiden drawn toward love; here Orff seems to forget about the Middle Ages entirely, turning instead to Richard Strauss or even Sergei Rachmaninoff for a suitable, smooth, and sensuous musical idiom. (What is a children’s chorus doing amid such erotic goings-on? Teacher Orff invokes the spontaneity of children, and the childlike delight we so-called “adults” should take in love.) Eventually, the love section’s closing hymn so melds the erotic and the divine that one can hardly tell which is which. And then, amid all this joy, the fearsome memento mori stands once again at the door. The return of the chorus “O Fortuna” reminds us that, whatever our desires or pretensions, implacable Fate always awaits us. —David Wright © 2013 David Wright lives and writes in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (“Fortune, Empress of the World”) 1. Chorus O Fortuna, velut Luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem.

O Fortune! Like the moon ever-changing rising first then declining; hateful life treats us badly then with kindness making sport with our desires, causing power and poverty alike to melt like ice.

Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris.

Dread Destiny and empty fate, an ever-turning wheel, you make adversity and fickle health alike turn to nothing, in the dark and secretly you work against me; through your trickery my naked back is turned to you unarmed.

Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite!

Good fortune and strength now are turned from me. Affection and defeat are always on duty, come now, pluck the strings without delay; since fate strikes down the strong weep everyone with me.

2. Chorus Fortune plango vulnera stillantibus ocellis, quod sua michi munera subtrahit rebellis. Verum est, quod legitur fronte capillata, sed plerumque sequitur occasio calvata.

In Fortune solio sederam elatus, prosperitatis vario flore coronatus; quicquid enim florui felix et beatus, nunc a summo corrui gloria privatus.

Once on Fortune’s throne I sat exalted crowned with a wreath of Prosperity’s flowers. But from my happy flower-decked paradise I was struck down and stripped of all my glory.

Fortune rota volvitur: descendo minoratus; alter in altum tollitur; nimis exaltatus rex sedet in vertice — caveat ruinam! nam sub axe legimus Hecubam reginam.

The wheel of Fortune turns, dishonored I fall from grace and another is raised on high. Raised to dizzy heights of power, The King sits in majesty but let him beware his downfall! For beneath the axle of Fortune’s wheel behold Queen Hecuba.

The joyous face of Spring is presented to the world. Winter’s army is conquered and put to flight. In colorful dress Flora is arrayed and the woods are sweet with birdsong in her praise.

Flore fusus gremio Phebus novo more risum dat, hac vario iam stipate flore. Zephyrus nectareo spirans in odore; certatim pro bravio curramus in amore.

Reclining in Flora’s lap Phoebus again laughs merrily, covered with many colored flowers. Zephyr breathes around the scented fragrance; eagerly striving for the prize. Let us compete in love.

Ama me fideliter! Fidem meam nota, de corde totaliter et ex mente tota sum presentialiter absens in remota, quisquis amat taliter volvitur in rota.

Love me truly! Remember my constancy. With all my heart and all my mind I am with you even when far away. Whoever knows such love knows the torture of the wheel.

Behold the welcome and long-awaited Spring, which brings back pleasure; crimson flowers adorn the fields, The Sun brings peace to all around.

Seething inside with boiling rage in bitterness I talk to myself. Made of matter risen from dust I am like a leaf tossed in play by the winds.

Cum sit enim proprium viro sapienti supra petram ponere sedem fundamenti, stultus ego comparor fluvio labenti, sub eodem tramite nunquam permanenti.

But whereas it befits a wise man to build his house on a rock, I, poor fool, am like a meandering river, never keeping to the same path.

Feror ego veluti sine nauta navis, ut per vias aeris vaga fertur avis; non me tenent vincula, non me tenent clavis, quero mihi similes, et adiungor pravis.

I drift along like a pilotless ship or like an aimless bird carried at random through the air; no chains hold me captive, no lock holds me fast, I am looking for those like me and I join the depraved.

Mihi cordis gravitas res videtur gravis; iocus est amabilis dulciorque favis; quicquid Venus imperat, labor est suavis, que nunquam in cordibus habitat ignavis.

The burdens of the heart seem to weigh me down; jesting is pleasant and sweeter than the honeycomb. Whatever Venus commands is pleasant toil; she never dwells in craven hearts.

Now in a serving dish I lie and can no longer fly, gnashing teeth confront me. Alas, poor me . . .

13. Baritone and Male Chorus Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis, et consilium meum est cum bibulis, et in secta Decii volunta meaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;st et qui mane me quesierit in taberna, post vesperam nudus egredietur, et sic denudatus veste clamabit: Wafna! Wafna! Quid fecisti sors turpissima? Nostre vite gaudia abstulisti omnia!

I am the abbot of Cockaigne and I like to drink with my friends, and I choose to be of the sect Decius, and whoever meets me in the morning at the tavern by evening has lost his clothes, and thus stripped of his clothes cries out: Wafna! Wafna! What have you done, wicked Fate!? You have taken away all the pleasures of this life!

14. Male Chorus In taberna quando sumus, non curamus quid sit humus, sed ad ludum properamus, cui semper insudamus. Quid agatur in taberna, ubi nummus est pincerna, hoc est opus ut queratur, sic quid loquar, audiatur.

When we are in the tavern we spare no thought for the grave, but rush to the gaming tables where we always sweat and strain. What goes on in the tavern, where a coin gets you a drink, if this is what you would know then listen to what I have to say.

Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt, quidam indiscrete vivunt. Sed in ludo qui morantur, ex his quidam denudantur, quidam ibi vestiuntur, quidam saccis induuntur.

Some men gamble, some men drink, some indulge in indiscretions, but of those who stay to gamble some lose their clothes, some win new clothes, while others put on sack clothes.

Ibi nullus timet mortem, sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem.

There is no one afraid of death, throwing dice for Bacchus.

Primo pro nummata vini, ex hac bibunt libertini; semel bibunt pro captivis, post hec bibunt ter pro vivis, quater pro Christianis cunctis, quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis, sexies pro sororibus vanis, septies pro militibus silvanis.

First, the dice are thrown for wine: this the libertines drink. Once they drink to prisoners, then three times to the living, four times to all Christians, five to the faithful departed, six times to the dissolute sisters, seven to the bush-rangers.

Octies pro fratribus perversis, nonies pro monachis dispersis, decies pro navigantibus, undecies pro discordantibus, duodecies pro penitentibus tredecies pro iter agentibus. Tam pro papa quam pro rege bibunt omnes sine lege.

Eight times to delinquent brothers, nine to the dispersed monks, ten times to the navigators, eleven to those who are fighting, twelve to the penitent, thirteen to the travelers. They drink to the Pope and King alike, all drink without restraint.

Bibit hera, bibit herus, bibit miles, bibit clerus, bibit ille, bibit illa, bibit servus cum ancilla, bibit velox, bibit piger, bibit albus, bibit niger, bibit constans, bibit vagus, bibit rudis, bibit magus.

The mistress drinks, the master drinks, the soldier drinks, the clergyman drinks, this man drinks, this woman drinks, the manservant drinks with the serving maid, the quick man drinks, the sluggard drinks, the white man drinks, the black man drinks, the steady man drinks, the wanderer drinks, the simpleton drinks, the wise man drinks.

Bibit pauper et egrotus, bibit exul et ignotus, bibit puer, bibit canus, bibit presul et decanus, bibit soror, bibit frater, bibit anus, bibit mater, bibit ista, bibit ille, bibunt centum, bibunt mille.

The poor man drinks, the sick man drinks, the exile drinks and the unknown man drinks, the boy drinks, the old man drinks, the Bishop drinks, the Deacon drinks, sister drinks and brother drinks, the old crone drinks, the mother drinks, this one drinks, that one drinks, a hundred drink, a thousand drink.

Parum sexcente nummate durant cum immoderate bibunt omnes sine meta quamvis bibant mente leta; sic nos rodunt omnes gentes, et sic erimus egentes. Quis nos rodunt confudantur et cum iustis non scribantur.

Six hundred coins are not enough for this immoderate and aimless drinking, although they drink cheerfully. Many people censure us and we shall always be short of money. May our critics be confounded and never be numbered among the just. P L E A S E T U R N PA G E Q U I E T LY

Cour d’Amours (“The Court of Love”) 15. Boys and Soprano Amor volat undique; captus est libidine. Juvenes, iuvencule coniunguntur merito. Siqua sine socio, caret omni gaudio; tenet noctis infima sub intimo cordis in custodia: Fit res amarissima.

Love flies everywhere and is seized by desire, young men and women are matched together. If a girl lacks a partner, he misses all the fun; in the depths of her heart all alone is darkest night — It is a bitter fate.

16. Baritone Dies, nox et omnia michi sunt contraria, virginum colloquia me fay planszer oy suvenz suspirer, plu me fay temer.

Day, night, and all the world are against me, the sound of maidens’ voices makes me weep. I often hear sighing and it makes me more afraid.

O sodales, ludite, vos qui scitis dicite, michi mesto parcite, grand ey dolur, attamen consulite per voster honur.

O friends, be merry, say what you will, but have mercy on me, a sad man, for great is my sorrow, yet give me counsel for the sake of your honor.

Tua pulchra facies, me fay planszer milies, pectus habet glacies, a remender statim vivus fierem per un baser.

Your lovely face makes me weep a thousand tears because your heart is of ice, but I would be restored at once to life by one single kiss.

17. Soprano Stetit puella rufa tunica; si quis eam tetigit, tunica crepuit. Eia.

There stood a young girl in a red tunic; if anyone touched her the tunic rustled. Heigh-ho.

Stetit puella tamquam rosula; facie splenduit, os eius floruit. Eia.

There stood a girl fair as a rose, her face was radiant, her mouth like a flower. Heigh-ho. P L E A S E T U R N PA G E Q U I E T LY

THE CLEVELAN D ORCHESTRA R E C O R D I N G S great gift ideas

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010 and released in May 2011. And, released in 2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the Rusalka performances, the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times praised the performance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the theatre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American orchestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.” Other recordings released in recent years include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez and a third album of Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida, whose first Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award in 2011. Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra recordings and DVDs.

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

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.

In 1717, England’s King George was suffering in the polls. His political advisors suggested that he do something big to get the people behind him. They came up with the idea of a summer boating party on the Thames, for which Handel wrote the music. Arguably the most popular piece of Baroque music today, Water Music makes fashionable use of the dance forms popular at the time, combining festivity and finesse. Sponsor: Thompson Hine LLP
