T H E 2 017-1 8 S E A S O N marks the Cleve-
land Orchestra Youth Orchestra’s 32nd season and the first year under the direction of Vinay Parameswaran. The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra is one of the Cleveland area’s premier musical destinations for aspiring student musicians — and one of the most acclaimed youth orchestras in the United States. Since its inaugural concert in 1987, the Youth Orchestra has performed more than 130 concerts and provided a musical home to 1,500 talented young instrumentalists. Founded for The Cleveland Orchestra by Jahja Ling, then the ensemble’s resident conductor, the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra provides serious young music students of middle school and high school age with a pre-professional orchestral training experience in a full symphony orchestra. The unique musical experiences that the Youth Orchestra offers include weekly coachings with members of The Cleveland Orchestra, rehearsals and performances in historic Severance Hall, and opportunities to work with internationally renowned

guest artists and conductors. Those guests have included Marin Alsop, Pierre Boulez, Stéphane Denève, Christoph von Dohnányi, Giancarlo Guererro, Witold Lutosławski, YoYo Ma, Gil Shaham, Michael Tilson Thomas, Antoni Wit, and Cleveland Orchestra Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. The creation of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus in 1991, to provide a similar experience for young vocalists from across Northeast Ohio, also widened the repertoire for the Youth Orchestra and expanded the Youth Orchestra’s preparation for potential professional roles. As one of the best youth orchestras in North America, and one of just a few affiliated with a top-tier orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra has garnered a number of prestigious accolades. In 1998, the Youth Orchestra was selected to participate in the second National Youth Orchestra Festival sponsored by the League of American Orchestras. In 2001, the Youth Orchestra appeared on the Family Concert Series at New York’s Carnegie Hall, and, in June 2009, they traveled to Boston for a series of four performances.

Overture: Coriolan, Opus 62 by Ludwig van Beethoven composed 1807
A
C R O S S H I S L I F E T I M E , Beethoven wrote a series
of overtures, some as concert works, others for his only opera (Fidelio) or attached to incidental music for several dramatic stageworks. All of them are serious in subject matter. Most of them are related to Beethoven’s lifelong belief in the ultimate goodness of Ludwig van humanity — and the need both to “fight for good” and BEETHOVEN for heroes to lead us forward by example and sacrifice. His earliest overture, from 1801, was part of a balborn December 16, 17 770 Bonn, Germany let score, titled The Creatures of Prometheus. The ballet’s storyline was directly related to Beethoven’s beliefs, of died March 26, 1827 Vienna a hero (the demi-god Prometheus) who defies authorities (the gods) to help humanity. It is, in fact, a philosophical outlook — of a hero fighting for justice — that The Cleveland Orchestra’s music director, Franz Welser-Möst, believes was central to Beethoven and is embedded in much of his music. Music isn’t just something to be pretty, or interesting, or amusing, or relaxing. Music can be a call to arms, intellectually and spiritually, and perhaps even physically. Franz closes The Cleveland Orchestra’s 2017-18 Season with a three-continent festival titled “The Prometheus Project” — with concerts in Cleveland, then repeated in Vienna and finally in Tokyo. The festival’s concerts re-examine Beethoven’s symphonies viewed around the ideal of Promethean heroics — of the mythological Prometheus as metaphor, daring to help humanity by stealing fire from the gods and sparking civilization and justice and goodness forward. Music as philosophical messenger. Beethoven wrote his concert overture Coriolan in 1807 in response to the hero portrayed in a contemporary play by Heinrich Joseph von Collin (to whom Beethoven dedicated the overture). Collin’s play was itself a re-telling of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus. The storyline concerns a Roman general, Gaius Marcius, who saves the city of Corioli (thus gaining the honorary title Coriolanus), but then becomes embroiled against Roman society’s expectations of what is right and wrong, honorable and disreputable. This hero is multi-sided, at first strong and heroic and honored, but later filled with venom and hatred at those who have turned against him. Such strong emotions and contrasts make good theater — and good music. In the play’s hero — alternately lionized and despised — Beethoven’s own beliefs in goodness and character mirrored his own struggles against society’s expectations, and his fate-filled fight against deafness. Heroes must make choices, civilization must move forward. Onstage, Coriolan resolves his conflicting actions in response to his mother’s pleas to forgive the citizens arrayed against him. He relents, knowing that he will be killed for his misdeeds. The Overture begins with a series of dramatic chords across a harmonic progres-

sion, immediately unfolding into an agitated melody that keeps unrolling. Suddenly, there is calm and serene music. But this, too, is stabbed with chords of challenge and rumblings of timpani. Beethoven works through and develops this material, with an almost continuous sense of foreboding and energetic fighting. The opening chords return midway, as does the beautiful melody, briefly giving us a sense of safety. The hero’s stormy life continues, however, amidst bursts and stops, soundings and momentary calms. Eventually, the material gathers itself to the opening chords once more — and finally angles downward to a quiet, subdued ending. This hero has split his life between good and bad, but fully accepts the outcome of his fateful choices. Performance Time: nearly 10 minutes

Trumpet Concerto LQ ( ÁDW PDMRU by Joseph Haydn composed 1796
T
H E “ N A T U R A L” T R U M P E T of the 17th and 18th
centuries consisted of little more than a length of tubing and a mouthpiece, from which the player, by the action of the lips alone, could coax differing tones or notes. Scientifically, these notes are a set of mathematically-related pitches, often called a “harmonic F. Joseph series.” As one moves up this series, the pitches occur HAYDN closer together, until at the top of the “old” trumpet’s range they very closely approximate a standard musiborn March 31, 1732 cal scale. Baroque trumpeters learned the taxing art of in Rohrau, Austria “clarino” playing to take advantage of those high notes, died May 31, 1809 and when we admire the “splendor” of certain works in Vienna by Bach and Handel, we have those trumpeters’ skill to thank for it. Nevertheless, for a long time the trumpet remained a highly-specialized instrument. Limited pretty much to a single tonality (mostly D major), it couldn’t explore even half-adventurous harmonies. And while ideal for martial or celebratory tunes, it wasn’t much use for music’s many other moods. The quest for a trumpet that could play all the notes of the musical scale led first (in about 1770) to the keyed trumpet, which looked like other trumpets except that it had holes in its tubing, which the player opened and closed with levered “keys” to change the pitch, not unlike a modern flute. The holes cost the instrument some of its stentorian tone, however, so that it sounded somewhat closer to an oboe or clarinet than what we think of as a true trumpet. Around 1820, trumpets began to be fitted with valves instead of keys, and players finally had the best of both: Baroque brilliance and Romantic chromaticism (musical scales, played by choice and with relative ease). During its brief time in the spotlight, the keyed trumpet had one authentic virtuoso performer, Anton Weidinger (1767-1852). He played natural trumpet in regimental bands, then joined the court opera in Vienna in 1792; by 1795 he had developed unheard-of facility with the new keyed instrument. Franz Joseph Haydn, who used Joseph as his first name thoughout most of his life, was already at work on the great masses and oratorios that would crown his long career, and hadn’t composed a concerto for more than a decade. Evenso, it isn’t hard to understand why he took time out to compose a showpiece for Weidinger. Today’s composers, raised on jazz and all kinds of fancy musical “footwork,” take for granted the dazzling malleability of the trumpet; for Haydn, this sound was as new and stimulating to the imagination as the synthesizer’s many varied sounds have been in more recent times. To use the trumpet in the fluid harmonic environment that Haydn and Mozart had developed was to discover a new sonic landscape. (For reasons not clearly understood today, although Weidinger travelled widely, he inspired few important works beyond this concerto by Haydn and also one that J. N. Hummel, Haydn’s successor at Eszterháza, composed in 1803.)

In the concerto’s first movement, Haydn finds a typically witty way to exploit the keyed trumpet’s mellow sound — he gives the vigorous, fanfare-like material to the orchestra instead of the trumpet, reserving the latter for melting, lyrical melodies that slide in half-steps as no natural trumpet could. The middle-movement Andante is a brief but eloquent “operatic aria,” whose pastoral mood comes from its gentle siciliano rhythm and ancient associations of wind music with the countryside. While never losing its poise, the final rondo movement indulges in plenty of robust timpani playing and martial dialogue between soloist and orchestral horns; before the blazing finish, Haydn toys with our expectations, performing his unique alchemy on bits of the main theme. Performance Time: 15 minutes

Toward the Splendid City by Richard Danielpour composed 1992
R
I C H A R D D A N I E L P O U R was born in New York
City and, while travelling far and frequently, has lived there all his life. His piece Toward the Splendid City is a portrait of the city, created at a time when the composer was nearly 40 and wrestling with his feelings for and about his hometown. As he says, it was Richard for many years a “love-hate relationship.” Creating this DANIELPOUR musical piece, while not intended as therapy, helped him come to better terms with New York’s conflicting born January 28, 1956 in New York City goods and bads. Danielpour long ago established himself among resides the most gifted and sought-after composers of his in New York City generation. His music has attracted an international array of champions. At the same time, as a devoted mentor and educator, he has had a significant impact on younger generations of musical artists. His list of commissions include some of the most celebrated artists of recent decades, including Yo-Yo Ma, Jessye Norman, Dawn Upshaw, Emanuel Ax, Gil Shaham, Frederica von Stade, Gary Graffman, Anthony McGill, the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, the Guarneri and Emerson string quartets, and the New York City and Pacific Northwest Ballets, along with many well-known orchestras and festivals. With Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, Danielpour created Margaret Garner, his first opera, which was premiered in 2005. Recent years have seen multiple new works and comissions. An 80 minute oratorio, The Passion of Yeshua, is scheduled to premiere in July 2018 at the Oregon Bach Festival. Danielpour has received many honors and awards, including the American Academy of Arts & Letters Charles Ives Fellowship, a Guggenheim Award, Bearns Prize from Columbia University, and fellowships and residencies from the MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, Copland House, and the American Academies in Berlin and Rome. He is a faculty member with the Manhattan School of Music in New York and the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Danielpour is one of the most-recorded composers of his generation; many of his recordings can be found on the Naxos and Sony Classical labels.
T H E C O M P O S E R has written the following comments about this work:
While Toward the Splendid City was composed as a portrait of New York, the city in which I live, it was written almost entirely away from home. Work on the piece began in Seattle in the spring of 1992 and was completed in mid-August of that year in Taos, New Mexico. At the time, I was nearing the end of a year-long residency with the Seattle Symphony, and had serious second thoughts about returning to New York. Life was always complicated in the city and easier, it seemed, everywhere else. I was, however, not without a certain pang of nostalgia for my hometown, and, as a result, Toward the Splendid City was

driven by my love-hate relationship with New York. It was, needless to say, a relationship badly in need of resolution. Eventually, upon returning to Manhattan, I began to understand that the humanity and the difficulty of New York were inseparable — and that if in the difficulties of urban life humanity is to be embraced, then the inconveniences must also be accepted. The work’s title comes from the heading of Pablo Neruda’s Nobel Prize address in 1974, in which he included the following statement: “We must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence, to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song — but in this dance or in this song there are fulfilled the most ancient rites of our conscience in the awareness of being human.” In addition to being a portrait of New York, Toward the Splendid City was written as a tribute to the city’s orchestra, the New York Philharmonic.

journey for music as a language. All kinds of ideas — about tonality, harmony, melody, structure, pleasantness, harshness, noise, silence, repetition, reclamation — were stretched, broken, replaced, and reborn. New kinds of music flourished. New categories were Witold created, blossomed, grew in popularity or faded into /8726á$:6., obscurity. Experimentation and change was taking place across all areas of music — popular and classical. born January 25, 1913 in Warsaw, Poland Only now, in retrospect looking back, can we begin to understand the direction and true highlights died February 7, 1994 of music’s journey in the past hundred years. In doing in Warsaw so, some voices stand out, as unique artists of lasting quality, whose ideas (and music) stand the test of time. One of these is Witold Lutosławski, born in Poland in 1913 on the eve of the First World War. In today’s new century, we can appreciate (and hear) the real musicianship and soul that helped him to create music of lasting quality, without empty gimmickry or copy-cat tendencies. His was a voice of real talent and universal, long-term appeal. History and happenstance and context change lives. Anyone born in Poland near the beginning of the last century was almost certain to face a lifetime of horrible events and suffering. Witold Lutosławski, certainly, experienced his fair share, along with so many of his compatriots. His father was executed in Moscow by the Bolsheviks in 1918; his brother died in a Soviet gulag in 1940. As a soldier, young Witold was captured by the Germans in 1939; he escaped but spent the grim war years in Warsaw and lost most of his possessions when the city was razed in 1944. He was banned from the Polish Composers Union in 1948 (for “formalist” tendencies, which is to say the authorities thought he strayed too far from writing music that was easy to understand and “normal”). Only when the Soviet grip on Poland was relaxed in 1989 did Lutosławski, in the last years of his life, enjoy full artistic freedom. He lived just long enough to watch the new, free Poland that emerged at that time. For many years, Lutosławski was forced to play a complicated game of pleasing the authorities with music based on folksongs (for the popular market). At the same time, more quietly and somewhat behind the scenes, he was working to find his own true voice, building on new methods and ideas. Thanks to his ability to effectively network with a variety of cultural rebels, and the acceptance of some of his new works for the Warsaw Autumn, an internationally-important festival that was started in 1956, Lutosławski’s name and art finally came to the attention of musicians and audiences beyond Poland. His First Symphony was premiered in 1948, exactly at the moment when Sovietinspired restrictions on music were being pushed forward. If a piece did not promote official ideas about “socialist realism” (including clear storytelling), it was labeled as “for-

malist” — a catch-all term of governmental scorn that covered music of any sophistication, especially symphonic music without words. For a while thereafter, Lutosławski quietly wrote functional music for films and theater, and music for children. In 1950, the conductor Witold Rowicki suggested that Lutosławski might write something for the newly founded Warsaw Philharmonic. The composer was interested, but had to think carefully how to satisfy his own artistic instincts without running afoul of the Polish Composers’ Union, from which he had been excluded. The work took shape over a period of four years, so that, by the time it was first performed, in November 1954, conditions had eased somewhat. For one thing, Stalin had died. And, on the other hand, Polish audiences had never been as subservient to imposed tastes as Soviet audiences. Many recognized the individuality and brilliance of the Concerto for Orchestra from the start. In any case, Lutosławski had included themes based on folksong, to help ease its acceptance in official circles. The Concerto for Orchestra was the first major work to bring Lutosławski strong recognition. His individual techniques and ideas shone through, launching him toward wider-spread fame. To compose a piece titled Concerto for Orchestra inevitably invited comparison with the Hungarian Béla Bartók, whose Concerto for Orchestra of 1945 had quickly established itself as a modern masterpiece. Lutosławski similarly calls for a large modern orchestra and writes for an ensemble of virtuosos, with many musicians having soloistic moments. At the same time, he easily proves how different such pieces can be, both masterful in their own ways. The first movement is built on strong contrasts, the central section working a long forceful melody with heavy accompaniment. The ending is a beautiful reshaping of the folklike opening, with a gorgeous string chord to close. The second movement is swift and brilliant, suggesting the same nocturnal whisperings that Bartók was fond of. The central section, called Arioso, is the very opposite — loud and coarse, with a tune banged out by trumpets. This dies down to the previous mysterious whisperings, eventually disappearing into almost inaudible rumbles and taps. The last movement is the longest, divided into three sections. The first section is constructed on the ancient principle of the Passacaglia, by which an eight-measure pattern (introduced surreptitiously by the harp and double basses) is repeated eighteen times, gradually introducing variations and developments that involve the whole orchestra, with the basic pattern emerging forcefully in the high brass. The Toccata section that follows has a jolly, playful character. Finally, a chorale is heard, first on oboes and clarinets, then in the brass, then on muted strings. From there to the end, the music is a display of orchestral virtuosity drawing together themes we have already heard and leaving no question of the orchestra’s capabilities or of the composer’s mastery of his craft. Performance Time: 30 minutes

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 Cleveland Orchestra, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated 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. HAILED AS ONE
