From the President Welcome to the second concert of the Sierra Vista Symphony’s 19th season! We open tonight with our own Maestro Roger Bayes who will be joined by Guest Conductor Gerald Brown. Tonight we honor our teachers from Cochise County and Fort Huachuca. These teachers are a superb group of leaders from our community. Our children truly have “A Home Away From Home” where they continue to be loved, nurtured, and educated. Teachers go out of their way when they see a child with a concern or need. Teachers offer emotional support when a mom or dad are absent from the home because they are fighting for our country overseas; or, a mom or dad are TDY for work; or, a mom or dad are sick from a very serious illness. Thank you for being such a blessing to our children, our families, and our community. YOU are awesome!! The Sierra Vista Symphony Orchestra is committed to student education. This morning, the Sierra Vista Symphony presented a performance to fifth grade students attending schools in Cochise County and Fort Huachuca. Approximately 800 students attended this great event “Imagine.” And, at the performance a fifth grader was called from the audience to conduct the orchestra! What an opportunity of a lifetime! And you, too, can help educate a student by inviting and bringing young people to the evening concerts. Bless them with culture and great music! I invite you to attend our next fundraiser, “Men Who Cook” on Saturday, March 1, 2014. You won’t want to miss this special event where celebrity chefs bring their best to this annual fundraiser. Events like these help us keep the Symphony in tune and playing for you! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting the Symphony with your memberships, advertising, sponsorships, attendance, and contributions. We are sincerely grateful for your continued support of our dedicated and talented orchestra! I am looking forward to seeing you again at our final concert of the season on Saturday, March 8, 2014. This concert will feature Jack Harman in a “Frank Sinatra Tribute” as well as the fabulous “Pictures at an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky, conducted by Maestro Bayes. With kind regards, Zanetta Boughan President, Sierra Vista Symphony

Thank You! Our sincere gratitude to Ft. Huchuca Community Spouse Club and the Ft. Huachuca Thrift Stop for being major sponsors of the student concert. •3•

Guest Conductor Gerald Brown was born and raised in Cochise County. He graduated from Arizona State University and, after intensive studies with the principal horn of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a scholarship student at the Aspen Music Festival, was contracted by the Phoenix Symphony. After two seasons, he resigned his position to do graduate work at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York City (studies with members of the New York Philharmonic). Brown then volunteered for the Peace Corps and served for five years as Director of the Bolivian National Symphony Orchestra, an event covered by “Time Magazine.” He was subsequently granted a Tanglewood Music Festival Fellowship (Berkshire Center) and spent eight weeks in residence with the Boston Symphony while pursuing advanced conducting studies with its director, Erich Leinsdorf. The Organization of American States (OAS-Washington) granted him a scholarship for intensive studies with Hans Swarowsky, head of the conducting department of the Vienna Conservatory. Brown was later selected to give a conducting course for European directors at the World Music Contest, held in Kerkrade, Holland. The Yamaha Music Corporation sponsored seminars and workshops given by Brown over a ten-year period in Latin America. He has spent a lifetime conducting, teaching, giving conferences and presentations on the international level. Some of the most unique experiences have included a presentation of the Costa

•4•

Rican documentary film “Why Tractors without Violins?” at the IX Moscow Film Festival. He was contracted as Director of the Costa Rica’s National Symphony Orchestra, and was the founding director of the Costa Rican National Youth Symphony (taking them from “beginners,” to concerts at the Kennedy Center, the White House, the Wolf Trap Festival, and the United Nations). The Organization of American States (OAS-Washington) appointed him to direct its Interamerican Center for Instrumental Studies, based in Costa Rica and covering the region of Latin America. He also served as Associated Director of the American Wind Symphony (Pittsburgh) and the National Symphony of Ecuador. The “New York Times,” the “Boston Globe,” the “Los Angeles Times,” “Time Magazine,” and the “Associated Press” have covered his activities. One of his most satisfying accomplishments was having been named a Fulbright Scholar, a program administered by the Cultural Affairs Section of the US State Department.

~ Program Notes ~ Maurice Ravel (1875 – 1937) Rapsodie espagnole

French Impressionist composer Maurice Ravel was born in the town of Ciboure in the Pyrenees to Basque and Swiss parents, and we hear his mother’s Spanish influence in Rapsodie espagnole. Composed in 1907-08, it is a fourmovement suite for orchestra that evokes several different Spanish themes. The opening movement, Prelude à la nuit (Prelude to the night), was described by Ravel as “drowsy and ecstatic.” A recurring four-note descending theme suggests the impending darkness of nightfall, and is quoted throughout the work as a unifying theme. The next movement, Malagueña, is Ravel’s depiction of a dance commonly associated with southern Spain. The dance is accompanied by a guitar and castanets, here depicted by the low strings along with sudden accents from the entire orchestra. We see another dance depicted in the third movement, Habanera, this time of Cuban origins. The habanera is characterized by a repeated rhythm, best known from the first act of Bizet’s opera Carmen. Ravel’s tempo marking, rather slow and with a weary rhythm, best summarizes the lazy feeling of this movement. Feria, or literally, free day, paints a vivid picture of a day spent at a town festival.

Claude Debussy (1862 – 1918) Children’s Corner Suite

Claude Debussy’s Children’s Corner was dedicated to his three-year-old daughter Claude-Emma, whom he affectionately nicknamed “Chouchou”. It is a suite of six short piano pieces, each of which were given English titles, reflecting in some way his daughter’s childhood experiences. • 15 •

The first movement, Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, is a reference to the technical studies of Muzio Clementi and probably points to the piano lessons his daughter would begin soon. The second piece, Jimbo’s Lullaby, represents one of Chouchou’s stuffed animals which she named after an elephant she once saw in a circus. Debussy employs a pentatonic scale to represent the oriental nature of the elephant, and incorporates the French folksong Sleep, go to sleep as well. The next movement, Serenade for the Doll, depicts his daughter softly singing to one of her imaginary companions. The Snow is Dancing gives a grey scene of Chouchou as she waits for the snow storm she is watching to end so she can play outside again. In The Little Shepherd, Debussy uses the oboe to paint a wonderful picture of a lonely shepherd as he improvises on his pipe. The final movement, Golliwog’s Cakewalk, is by far the most popular and recognized piece in the collection. In this last piece Debussy was influenced by the lively rhythms of the African-American slave dance by the same name. In the Cakewalk dance, slaves would parody the movements of their masters with exaggerated movements. A golliwog, made popular in children’s books of the era, was a floppy black rag doll. Debussy completed the piano suite in 1908, and his friend André Caplet orchestrated the work in 1911.

Paul Dukas (1865 – 1935) Prelude to La Péri: Fanfare

Best known for his tone poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice of Disney’s Fantasia, Parisian composer Paul Dukas wrote his single scene ballet La Péri in 1911. The original score for the ballet opened softly, and Dukas was afraid the normally noisy audience of that time would not be aware that the music had begun. Just before the premier, Dukas wrote this attention• 16 •

getting two minute fanfare. While the ballet is rarely performed today, this fanfare is frequently used to announce a concert opening, and has become a staple of brass playing. Maestro Gerald Brown asked Roger Harris, former president of the Sierra Vista Symphony Association, to orchestrate an arrangement, which adds our percussion section.

Erik Satie (1866 – 1925) Gymnopédie No. 1

Labeled as “eccentric” and “lazy” by his teachers, Erik Satie composed his set of three short, atmospheric piano pieces entitled Gymnopédies in 1888. The title, coming from a Greek word describing an athletic dance performed by youths in Sparta’s annual festival dedicated to Apollo, reveals the dance-like character of each of the pieces. The harmonic techniques used by Satie in these pieces were ahead of their time, but not in a jolting fashion to contemporary ears. One of the earliest performances of Gymnopédies was given privately to an audience of fellow composers, one of which was Claude Debussy. Shortly after, Debussy requested that Satie allow him to orchestrate them, which Satie gladly permitted. Curiously, Debussy left out the middle piece of the set, and reversed the order of the first and third pieces, leaving the most familiar one, No. 1, for last.

Ottorino Respighi (1879 – 1936) Pini di Roma

Breaking with the tradition of his contemporaries, who were best known for their operas, Ottorino Respighi chose to compose solely for orchestra. His tone poem Pines of Rome, composed in 1924, is the second in a series of three works centered around life in Rome, Italy.

• 17 •

The four segments correspond to various times of a single day. His approach was to recall memories and visions. The pine trees, found everywhere in and around Rome, were his inspiration. The Pines of Rome, is one of our most brilliant orchestral showpieces, and has established itself as Respighi’s most popular work. The composer included a brief description of each movement in the score, and his words best describe each scene: The Pines of the Villa Borghese. Children are at play in the pine groves of Villa Borghese. It’s a sunny morning and they sing nursery rhymes and play. They dance round in circles; they play at soldiers, marching and fighting; they are wrought up by their own cries like swallows at evening; they come and go in swarms. Pines Near a Catacomb. This piece makes use of a Gregorian plainchant figure to conjure up a mysterious and solemn impression. We see the shades of the pine trees fringing the entrance to a catacomb. From the depth rises the sound of mournful psalms, floating through the air like a solemn hymn rising, sinking, and gradually and mysteriously disappearing again into a subterranean cavern in which the dead are buried. The trombones represent the chanting of priests. The Pines of the Janiculum. This is introduced by a piano cadenza and a solo clarinet. A shudder becomes a memorable nocturne, the pines being illuminated by the moon. A nightingale sings. (Respighi called for the playing of a specific recording of an actual nightingale’s singing at the end of this section.)

• 18 •

The Pines of the Appian Way. This is the final scene. Misty dawn on the Appian Way: solitary pine trees guarding the magic landscape; the muffled, ceaseless rhythm of unending footsteps of ghostly Roman soldiers; the dawn mists rise and settle and are dispersed by the blaze of thousands of burnished breastplates and helmets. The poet has a fantastic vision of bygone glories: the orchestra swells as trumpets sound with augmented brass representing the ancient Roman trumpets. The Roman army returns triumphantly in the grandeur of a brilliant sunrise. — Tom and Debbie Bauer (with input from Maestro Gerald Brown)
