welcome
Welcome to the 11th Annual Deer Valley® Music Festival! Utah is an amazing place to live and visit, and Utah Symphony | Utah Opera is able to attract some of the best musicians, artists, and staff because of the variety of outdoor activities possible and great natural beauty of our state. It’s no wonder our festival experience combining great live music with a casual mountain atmosphere has become a favorite way for many people to spend their summer evenings.
Melia P. Tourangeau President & CEO
Directly following the Festival this summer, we will collaborate with Utah’s five National Parks and the Utah Office of Tourism to celebrate the natural and artistic treasures of Utah through our Mighty 5® Tour. The Utah Symphony and smaller chamber ensembles will present a series of unforgettable free outdoor concerts August 11–17 under the baton of Utah Symphony Music Director Thierry Fischer against the backdrop of Utah’s iconic national parks to create one epic experience of a lifetime. This tour is the kick-off to many other special events we have planned as part of our Campaign for Perpetual Motion (see pages 138–140). All of these events are possible thanks to the support of many community leaders, none more dedicated than Pat Richards, who has served as the USUO Board Chair for the past nine years. I am grateful for her advocacy of these kinds of activities which not only draw focus to the high-quality artistry we provide in every performance, but demonstrate how we inspire our community in meaningful and relevant ways. Thank you for joining us for tonight’s concert. We hope that enjoying exceptional music in these outstanding landscapes demonstrates to you why a thriving performing arts community is an integral part of what makes Utah great. Sincerely,
DEER VALLEY® MUSIC FESTIVAL 5

notes on the program
By Jeff Counts
Overture to Egmont, op. 84 THE COMPOSER – LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) With Vienna under French occupation during much of 1809, Beethoven was forced into an uncomfortable sort of seclusion. Though he chose to stay behind, many of the city’s elite had fled, including the court. Among them was Beethoven’s patron, friend and student Archduke Rudolf. The composer wrote most of the Fifth Piano Concerto during his time alone and dedicated it to his absent compatriot.
Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770–1827)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes (2nd
doubles piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 9 minutes.
THE HISTORY – Near the end of that troubling year, Beethoven received a commission to write incidental music for a theatre production of Egmont. This must have come as a refreshing diversion from his sadness and solitude. Not only did the opportunity provide a chance to deeply connect with the words of his most favored writer, Goethe, the subject of the drama was particularly poignant for Beethoven. In the play, Count Egmont is a Dutch resistance fighter bent on the liberation of his country from Spanish occupation. He dies heroically while making his stand. It is impossible not to draw a parallel between the character of the Duke of Alva and the real-life “Emperor” of France. Beethoven had long since lost his admiration for Napoleon and the bombardment of Vienna would certainly have confirmed his worst fears about the man. Goethe’s play, and the honor of providing it with some suitably powerful incidental music, was perfect medicine for the composer after such dark, lonely months. The score of Egmont was completed in 1810 and performed in its entirety that June. Only the Overture still receives frequent performance attention, as a stand-alone concert piece. It is a wonderfully intricate world in miniature, one that successfully samples all the coming drama of the story. THE WORLD – Elsewhere in 1810, Argentina began a chain reaction in South America by claiming independence from Spain; the first Oktoberfest was held in Bavaria; and Lord Byron made his famous swim across the Hellespont in Turkey. THE CONNECTION – The last time Egmont Overture appeared on a Utah Symphony Masterworks program was in September of 2013. Maestro Fischer conducted. Prior to that, Joseph Silverstein conducted it in 2008.

Rondo in A Major for Violin and Strings THE COMPOSER – FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797–1828) Great composers occasionally die too young, and their lives often seem to be races against their own doomed clocks. With over 1,000 pieces to his credit but only 31 short years of life, it would be difficult to find a time during Schubert’s adulthood when he wasn’t staggeringly productive. In 1816, for example, he composed no less than 110 songs, 2 symphonies, a string quartet, and 3 violin sonatas.
Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
INSTRUMENTATION: strings
Duration: 14 minutes.
THE HISTORY – Not to be dismissed among the abundance of 1816 was the Rondo in A Major for Violin and Strings. It wasn’t published until much later, in 1897, in keeping with the common fate of most of Schubert’s music. Schubert’s life was not a fun one. He was poor and sick for a great deal of it and essentially unknown to the world’s musical elite for all of it. Contemporary recognition notwithstanding, Schubert was (and still is, frankly) the greatest melodist in history. Even the non-songs sing and, if the frequent turns toward drama and seriousness can be easily understood in the context of his personal realities, Schubert’s more regular forays into undisturbed (“unpretentious” is a favored description of this Rondo) beauty are revelatory. The work is in two parts, a luxuriant Adagio and the Mozartian Rondo proper. Schubert wrote no concerti during his fiercely productive few decades, so the Konzertstück for Violin and Orchestra and the present Rondo are all we have to imagine what he might have had to say in that regard, had he lived longer. Seen in this light, the virtuosity and lyricism on display in this amiable music is thrilling for all of its imagined potential and also a bit tragic in a “what might have been” sense, even from a man who left behind two full careers’ worth of material. THE WORLD – 1816 was the “The Year Without a Summer,” thanks to a volcanic eruption that kept temperatures in the northern hemisphere well below normal. Also that year, Shaka began his reign as leader of the Zulu people, and Argentina earned its formal independence. THE CONNECTION – The last time the Rondo was performed on a Utah Symphony concert was back in 1987. Joseph Silverstein played and conducted.

Havanaise, op. 83 THE COMPOSER – CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS (1835–1921) Saint-Saëns was a frequent and devoted traveler who visited exotic locations in Europe, South America, Southeast Asia and Africa. For personal reasons, he often traveled under the name “Sannois” and went on to publish many successful trip narratives under that nom de plume. Saint-Saëns was a composer first and foremost, however, and his fascination with the various cultures he encountered abroad found their way into his personal musical language as well. Camille Saint-Saëns (1835–1921)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes,
2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 11 minutes.
THE MUSIC – “Havanaise” is French for “habanera,” a Cuban dance form that became popular in Spain during the 19th century. The most notable “high art” example is, of course, from Bizet’s Carmen, but Ravel wrote a two-piano Habanera that was later incorporated into the symphonic Rapsodie espagnole. The music of the original dance was characterized by a two-beat pattern (based on a repeated four-note rhythm) that was derived from the African cultural influence on the Cuban people. Saint-Saëns used the vernacular sound with more subtlety and circumspection than Bizet. The telltale pattern is often present in the music of the Havanaise, but sometimes as no more than an accompanying whisper behind the solo violin’s more reflective moments. The first version of the piece was for solo violin and piano but the composer created an orchestral version shortly there after. This is how we know it best today. The story of Saint-Saëns’ initial inspiration for the music is a very strange one. While on tour with the violinist Raphael Diaz Albertini (the eventual dedicatee of the Havanaise), Saint-Saëns built a fire in his cold hotel room and the popping sound of the burning logs began to form a melody in his imagination. Though chilly Northern European nights are a far cry from tropical Cuba, that melody somehow grew into the Havanaise two years later. It was a highly unusual muse, to be sure, and not likely one that has ever been repeated. THE WORLD – Construction on the Eiffel Tower began in 1887. Also that year, the United States Navy gained permission to create a base at Pearl Harbor, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle unveiled Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Scarlet. THE CONNECTION – The Havanaise has not been performed by the Utah Symphony since Joseph Silverstein conducted Hilary Hahn back in 1992.

Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) THE COMPOSER – MAURICE RAVEL (1875–1937) After failing to win the requisite prizes at the Paris Conservatoire, Ravel was dismissed from his classes in 1895. He returned in 1897, and though he made good progress and had important guidance from Fauré, he again failed to achieve prized status and was dismissed a second time in 1900. Scholastic shortcomings aside, Ravel did receive some professional acknowledgement during those years with his first publications. Maurice Ravel (1875–1937)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes, oboe,
2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 3 trumpets, harp, strings Duration: 6 minutes.
THE MUSIC – Like some other important 19th and 20th century orchestral scores (Pictures at an Exhibition comes quickly to mind), Pavane for a Dead Princess began life as piano music. Completed in 1899 while he was studying with Fauré, the Pavane was one of the first of Ravel’s compositions to be published. Ravel was very clear about the shocking sadness of the title (especially in its English translation) and its lack of a specific historical impetus. “Do not attach any importance to the title,” he wrote, “I chose it only for its euphonious qualities. Do not dramatize it. It is not a funeral lament for a dead child, but rather an evocation of the pavane which could have been danced by such a little princess as painted by Velázquez.” The pavane was a stately court dance of 16th-century Spain and Italy. The Spanish history of the form was of special importance to Ravel who, born of a Basque mother, always held an affinity for his Iberian heritage. As such, the Pavane was intended as a tribute to that culture and its unique disposition, not more. Ravel was reluctant to embrace the piece later in life and thought it too derivative of his early influences as a composer. Despite the “poor” formal construction he once attributed to it, the Pavane did warrant his attention again in 1910, and the gorgeously subtle orchestration he created placed the work forever among his most beloved. THE WORLD – The short-lived First Philippine Republic was formed in 1899. Also that year, Kate Chopin published The Awakening, Russia abrogated Finland’s autonomy with the February Manifesto, and Martha M. Place became the first woman to be executed by electric chair. THE CONNECTION – Ravel’s Pavane last appeared on a Utah Symphony Masterworks program in 2012. Maestro Thierry Fischer conducted.

Symphony No. 4 in A Major, op. 90 (“Italian”) THE COMPOSER – FELIX MENDELSSOHN (1809-1847) Mendelssohn was in Italy for the better part of a year between 1830 and 1831. He spent time in Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples and other cultural hubs before returning home by way of Switzerland. Much of Mendelssohn’s attention was devoted to museums and galleries where, as an amateur artist, he was anxious to expose himself to the rich history of Italian painting. It was, by all accounts, an invigorating trip.
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes,
2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 27 minutes in four movements.
THE MUSIC – Though he was a decent enough watercolorist, it is the music Mendelssohn began in Italy that most lastingly reflects his time there. He composed several sacred works while in the liturgical embrace of Rome and also considered material for his loosely referential “Scottish” and “Italian” symphonies. Scotland is rarely mistaken for Italy, but it is not entirely criminal that Robert Schumann would later assume one for the other in a review of Symphony No. 3 since neither of Mendelssohn’s travel symphonies remembers its inspiration in any obvious way (the Salterello finale of the “Italian” notwithstanding). Without the nicknames, in fact, it could be credited as an honest mistake for anyone to hear the open vistas, religious gravity and mighty architecture of Italy in both pieces. The differences seem perfectly clear now with our ears so well trained to parse subtlety and understatement in music. Where Symphony No. 3 has moody mists and storms, No. 4 is all bright sun and blue sky. Symphony No. 4 was completed in 1833 but not published during Mendelssohn’s lifetime due to his unhappiness with it. He revised it at least twice, once in 1837, and again just before his death in 1847 and there are indications that he was not entirely done with his tinkering. It is hard to believe he could have improved on this masterful collection of Italian impressions and his sincere evocation of a place and its culture. THE WORLD – Chemist Anselme Payen discovered the first enzyme, diastase, in 1833. Also that year, Queen Isabella II, though only a child, ascended to the Spanish throne, and the American Anti-Slavery Society was founded under the leadership of William Lloyd Garrison. THE CONNECTION – Mendelssohn 4 is programmed frequently by the Utah Symphony on its Masterworks Series. The most recent performance was in 2013 under Maestro Thierry Fischer.

Cannoneers of the Wasatch
deervalleymusicfestival.org 70
The Cannoneers of the Wasatch have traveled the Wasatch Front for 43 years blasting self-made cannons while orchestras perform. For more than three decades, the Cannoneers have collected more than 18 historical replica cannons, ranging in size from 25 to 1,000 pounds. The Cannoneers have performed in Taylorsville, Layton, and Sun Valley, Idaho. The Cannoneers formed in 1971 when the University of Utah-Snowbird Summer Arts Institute wanted to perform Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture with cannon fire, but lacked cannons. As the years went by, cannoneers creatively fixed timing problems with new devices. The cannons are now controlled by a sophisticated electronic keyboard powered by four batteries.

String Quartet in G Minor, op. 10 Duration: 25 minutes in four movements.
Claude Debussy (1862–1918)
The 1890s were a very important decade for Debussy. His inclusion into the Parisian artistic elite had, by then, exposed him to the greatest creative minds of his day and prepared him to take music fully into the “modern” world of the Impressionist painters and Symbolist writers. If the 1984 Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun was Debussy’s first great masterstroke in this regard, then the String Quartet from one year before must be seen as a partial blueprint for the revolution. Since composers at their most formative moments often reach both backward and forward into time, there is much about the quartet that reads traditionally, but the impulse toward Faun is also very obvious. The process of creating this music was not without difficulty for Debussy. He claimed that the last movement gave him particular trouble and told friend and original dedicatee Ernest Chausson that he was forced to start from scratch on it no less than three times. Paris didn’t love the quartet when it premiered in 1893, but Brussels raved about it a week later. Chausson, sadly, agreed with Paris, and Debussy promised to write him another one. He never did and we are left today with this one magnificent essay into the quartet form and the thrilling question of what the mature, post-Faun, Debussy might have had to say on the matter.

String Quartet No. 5 (“White Water”) Duration: 45 minutes in four movements.
Joan Tower (b. 1938)
deervalleymusicfestival.org 82
“White Water” was the first of four commissions for Chamber Music Monterey Bay’s “Arc of Life” project. Written for the Daedalus String Quartet, the first performance was given in April of 2012. As a point of departure for the project, the artist Bill Viola shared excerpts from his video installation “Going Forth by Day”—a depiction of life in all its stages—with the four commissioned composers to serve as their inspirational focal point. “Going Forth by Day” was created in 2002 for the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin and is comprised of five panels: “Fire Birth;” “The Path;” “The Deluge;” “The Voyage;” and “First Light.” Joan Tower had the following to say about her specific part of the “Arc of Life” endeavor: “When I saw [Bill] Viola’s work, I was quite fascinated with how he used water as an encompassing image which influenced everything I saw about the ‘person’ inside the water. My piece is not directly associated by what he specifically did, but it does have a strong connection to the image of water as a powerful basic idea and action. The many glissandos hopefully create a ‘fluid’ environment that connects the various ideas and registers together, while ‘white water’ somehow implies more rapid ‘cascading’ types of action which occur throughout the piece.”

String Quartet No. 11 in C Major, op. 61 Duration: 40 minutes in four movements.
Antonín Dvorák ˇ (1841–1904)
deervalleymusicfestival.org 84
ˇ was busy enough as a composer that In 1881, Dvorák commissions and other projects regularly overlapped and occasionally even ran afoul of one another. Such was the case with the 11th String Quartet. The work was requested by the Hellmesberger Quartet of Vienna, and though he was already hard at work on his opera Dimitrij, Dvorák ˇ told Joseph Hellmesberger that God had “already whispered a few melodies to [him]” and that he should be able to finish the new quartet within six weeks. That promise, a divinely inspired one no less, gave Hellmesberger the confidence to schedule the premiere for December 15, but Dvorák ˇ wasn’t made aware of that very public deadline until he read about it in the newspaper in early November. The sudden shock of the announcement forced him to set the opera completely aside for a couple of weeks. Though the quartet was done in time, the theater (Vienna’s Ringtheatre) burned down just one week before the concert, killing several hundred patrons. The first performance of String Quartet No. 11 would not happen for another year, but, with the event ocurring outside of Vienna, Hellmesberger’s group did not get to perform it. That honor went to the Joachim Quartet. It bears noting that this piece was part of a new phase for the composer, one less “Slavonic” and more dramatically insistent, which seems coincident with the repeated (and troubling for Dvorák) ˇ attempts by musical Europe to “Germanize” him.

Electric Light Orchestra began when three members of the Birmingham, England band The Move created ELO as a side project in 1970. They envisioned a hybrid rock/orchestral group with a sound that picked up where The Beatles had left off on songs like “I Am The Walrus.” ELO’s roster changed numerous times over the years, with no fewer than 18 members contributing to the band’s sound.
The Orchestra starring Former ELO & Electric Light Orchestra Part II Members
…one of the bands in the
ELO’s spectacular run of success in the ‘70s and ‘80s included numerous gold and platinum albums, Top Ten hits such as “Can’t Get It Out of My Head” and “Telephone Line,” the groundbreaking “Spaceship” tour, and a secure place as one of the most important bands in the history of rock. At the peak of ELO’s success, future ELO Part II members Bev Bevan, Mik Kaminski, Kelly Groucutt, and Lou Clark lived the life of rock royalty. In the late 1980s Bevan, Groucutt, Kaminski, and Clark reconvened the group as ELO Part II. Eric Troyer, a session and touring musician from New York City, was brought in on keyboards and vocals. The position of guitarist/singer eventually settled into the capable hands of British recording artist Phil Bates. In 1998 Los Angeles guitarist Parthenon Huxley replaced Phil Bates; and in 2000 ELO’s only drummer for thirty years, Bev Bevan, most important announced his retirement. Bevan’s spot was immediately handed over history of rock. to Philadelphia drummer Gordon Townsend. With Bevan no longer in the band, the remaining members continued on as The Orchestra. The Orchestra suffered a mortal loss in 2009 when bassist/ singer Kelly Groucutt died suddenly upon returning home from a show in Berlin. With touring commitments ahead of them, The Orchestra were fortunate to land past ELO Part II touring member and music veteran Glen Burtnik as Kelly’s replacement. He remains with the band today.

Eric Troyer Keyboards, Guitar and Vocals (formerly of ELO Part II)
A violin prodigy, Yorkshire, England’s Mik Kaminski joined ELO in 1973 after famously answering an advert in Melody Maker magazine. Ever since, Mik and his blue electric violin have dazzled rock audiences the world over. A consummate showman, Kaminski is the original violin wild man, shattering traditional notions of stage propriety with a classical instrument. If not for his talents on violin, Kaminski’s vocation may well have been humorist, as he is easily one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet. You just have to sort through his Yorkshire accent to get to the jokes.
Originally a bassist, Bedford, England’s Lou Clark studied orchestration at Leeds College of Music and helped transform ELO’s sound with his string and choir arrangements on the band’s breakthrough album Eldorado. Today, when The Orchestra performs with symphony orchestras, Clark dons his famous tuxedo and leads the world’s best national orchestras through the ELO catalogue of hits. Clark also created the Hooked On Classics series of albums that partnered well known classical pieces with modern drum beats. Clark is an unabashed Beatles Freak and a massive fan of English football. He also has kept notes on every show ever played by ELO Part II and The Orchestra.
Indiana, USA native Eric Troyer’s professional resume reads like a who’s who of rock history. His voice can be heard on mega-hits such as “Woman” by John Lennon, “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel, “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler and on songs by Aerosmith, James Taylor, Meatloaf, Kiss, Lou Reed and many others. A founding member of ELO Part II, Troyer’s distinctive voice and keyboards—not to mention his tireless work ethic—have been a staple of the band for more than 20 years. Troyer has managed to survive years of exposure to the highest levels of rock and roll insanity with his good humor intact. He is a health nut and history buff.

Louisiana-born Parthenon Huxley joined ELO Part II in 1998. Huxley wrote his first song at age ten. His records as a solo artist and band leader have earned three Album of the Year awards and a #1 single on Rolling Stone magazine’s exclusive download chart. Huxley has also written four Top 20 hits with other artists, including Foreigner and E (Mark Everett). Much to his surprise, Huxley was named Costa Rica’s Rock Composer of the Year in 2010. A consummate rock guitarist, Huxley was tapped to create two guitar loop libraries for Sony. “Hux” hopes to one day make use of his B.A. in Journalism and write a book about his experiences with the Orchestra.
A native of Philadelphia, Townsend began drumming professionally in his teens. He moved to Los Angeles in 1994 and formed P. Hux with Parthenon Huxley. After Huxley joined ELO Part II, Townsend was the first choice to replace ELO founding member Bev Bevan on drums. Townsend has been with The Orchestra since 2000, laying down an unshakable backbeat beneath the band’s often complex musical arrangements. Townsend steers his performance to the needs of the song, avoiding flash while supplying rock solid power and finesse. He is a sucker for cool musical gear and rescue dogs.
Glen Burtnik’s extensive showbiz career includes a stint on Broadway as Paul McCartney in Beatlemania, a Billboard #2 smash hit “Sometimes Love Just Ain’t Enough,” ten years as frontman for rock legends Styx, and several short runs as bassist for ELO Part II. He also released two solo albums for A&M Records. Burtnik is beloved in his home state of New Jersey for his over-the-top musical revues, most famously his Xmas Xtravaganza, which features dozens of notable performers.

artist’s profile
The word versatile is often applied to musicians; in the case of the British conductor Matthew Halls it is particularly well deserved. Although he first came to prominence as a keyboard player and early music conductor, Halls, still in his thirties, is now better known for his dynamic and intelligent work with major symphony orchestras and opera companies, and for his probing and vibrant interpretations of music of all periods. For his debut with the Toronto Symphony in 2013, he led Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, a work he calls “the heart and soul of the modern symphonic tradition.” The performance, according to one reviewer, “captured much of the energy and excitement that its first audience must have felt at its premiere nearly 200 years ago” (Toronto Star). He first led the National Symphony in performances of Handel’s Messiah; he returned the following season to lead works by Ravel, Dutilleux, and Vaughan Williams. Other recent and upcoming North American engagements include appearances with Cleveland Orchestra, Houston Symphony Orchestra, Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Ottawa’s National Arts Centre Orchestra, and Seattle Symphony Orchestra, in repertoire from Bach and Handel to Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff, Tippett and Kernis.

Passionately committed to education and working with young musicians, he has taught regularly at summer schools and courses.
notes on the program

Symphony No. 96 in D Major (“The Miracle”) THE COMPOSER – FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732–1809) Haydn’s long-time patron Nikolaus Esterházy died in 1790, and his passing changed everything for the composer. Nikolaus had been an incredibly generous and supportive employer but his successor had little use for music and quickly disbanded the house orchestra that had provided Haydn with a stable creative outlet for decades. Now, free to go where he pleased, Haydn moved to Vienna so quickly that he abandoned many of his personal effects. Franz Joseph Hayden (1732–1809)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes, 2
oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 20 minutes in four movements.
THE MUSIC – Nicknames. It is nearly impossible to discuss a Haydn symphony without sorting through the attendant “history” of its subtitle. So many have them, and so few can outrun the variously spurious origins of their application. In the case of Symphony No. 96, the story of the now accepted nickname is excellent but totally illegitimate. Haydn had not been long in Vienna when he received a visit from a man called Johann Peter Salomon who announced that he planned to take the composer with him to London. It didn’t happen as soon as Salomon liked, but two months later, Haydn was on his way. The dozen symphonies that bear witness (and name; Nos. 93–104 are known as either the “London” or “Salomon” symphonies) to their mutually beneficial relationship are a treasure. Though the numbers might suggest otherwise, No. 96 seems to have been the first of the set that Haydn composed expressly for English audiences. It was premiered in 1791 and that first concert provided the impetus for the nickname, or so it was once believed. Just after the adoring crowd at this performance left their places to press the stage for a closer look at the great master, a huge chandelier fell onto their empty theater seats, frightening everyone but wounding none. Shouts of “miracle!” ensued and the name has adorned No. 96 ever since. No matter that this near-tragedy actually occurred during a performance of No. 102. THE WORLD – The United States ratified its Bill of Rights in 1791, coincident with the publication of Thomas Paine’s The Rights of Man. Also that year, the Brandenburg Gate was completed, and the Treaty of Sistova ended the Austro-Turkish War. THE CONNECTION – “The Miracle” Symphony was last performed by the Utah Symphony on a Masterworks concert in 2002. Joseph Silverstein conducted.

Serenade for Strings, op. 48 THE COMPOSER – PIOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840–1893) In an effort to stave off gossip regarding his sexuality, Tchaikovsky married in 1877. For reasons including but not at all limited to the most obvious one, the arrangement fell apart quickly and left Tchaikovsky a bit listless for the next few years. He spoke of “emptiness” and “boredom” and the notion that he was “incapable of living long without work.” Sadly, fulfilling projects were rare for a time.
Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893)
INSTRUMENTATION: strings
Duration: 28 minutes in three movements.
THE HISTORY – Rare, but not unknown. Tchaikovsky was able to admit to a patron in 1880 that the suddenly “benevolent muse” had inspired a Serenade for String Orchestra that he “wrote from an inward impulse” and hoped was “not without artistic qualities.” Given that the immediately previous project had been the 1812 Overture (a work that gave Tchaikovsky little pleasure at the time), the modesty of both the Serenade and the composer’s estimation of it are noteworthy. “Artistic qualities” abound. Tchaikovsky said that he came to the Serenade form by chance, after sketching out ideas for a work he called “something between a symphony and a string quartet.” Tchaikovsky seems to have had a desire to emulate Mozart with this music. Mozart was indeed a hero of Tchaikovsky’s, and, after the bombast of 1812, he may well have been inspired to channel the classical cleanness of an older time. The juxtaposition of 1812 and the Serenade is also an important example of the difference between the external and internal motivations of an artist. While the Overture was public commission and not much more, the Serenade was built of pure inspiration, and the beautifully simple (and simply beautiful) score shows the true value of the latter. With such powerful symphonies in his catalogue, Tchaikovsky’s emotional/ musical temperament is often measured in muscle, making the understated grace of the Serenade all the more thrilling. THE WORLD – Tahiti was ceded to France in 1880. Also that year, French actress and international superstar Sarah Bernhardt made her U.S. debut, “O Canada” was performed for the first time, and the Orion Nebula was photographed. THE CONNECTION – The Serenade appears quite often on various Utah Symphony programs but the most recent subscription performance was back in 1996 under Robert Henderson.

Symphony No. 3 in D Major, D. 200 THE COMPOSER – FRANZ SCHUBERT (1797–1828) Schubert’s staggering level of productivity is so often commented upon by annotators (this one certainly included) that the numbers associated with his efforts can lose some of their potency. But even with the potential for fatigue acknowledged and understood, it bears repeating that biographer Robert Winter once theorized that Schubert must have produced an average of 65 measures of new music per day during his brief but important life. Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes,
2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 26 minutes in four movements.
THE HISTORY – Schubert was only 18 in 1815. What might now seem a tender age to us in professional terms was already a life more than half lived for the ill-fated composer. He wrote mostly lieder during that year (150 songs or so) and not much in the way of instrumental music, but did make his second and third ventures into the symphony genre. No. 3 was the most succinct yet, featuring a Haydn/Mozart-inspired scale and personality and more than a few dashes of Rossini as well. The music is decidedly sunny throughout and Schubert bolsters the convivial spirit of the piece by replacing the traditional slow movement with an allegretto. It is good to remind ourselves that the year was 1815 and that Beethoven had just completed his 7th and 8th Symphonies. Commentator James Keller makes the excellent point that Europe was just beginning to see light at the end of the Napoleonic Wars and though many artists (Beethoven not least) projected the strong emotions of the day in their creations, Schubert stayed within his own intimate world. Not that he did so by choice. Where Beethoven held Vienna’s attention with both his hits and his misses, Schubert languished without notice of any sort. In all likelihood, the charming and ingenious Symphony No. 3 was first performed at some private affair. It was not published during his lifetime and did not receive a public performance in its entirety until the 1880s. THE WORLD – Wellington defeated Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. Also that year, William I became King of the Netherlands, Jane Austen published her novel Emma, and the Handel and Haydn Society was founded in Boston. THE CONNECTION – Schubert 3 has been performed infrequently by the Utah Symphony. The last occurrence was in 2001 on the Chamber Series under Keith Lockhart.

FRICTION QUARTET
Friction Quartet, whose performances have been called “terribly beautiful” (San Francisco Classical Voice) and “chillingly effective” (San Francisco Examiner), exists to expand the string quartet repertoire and audience for adventurous contemporary music. Since forming in 2011, Friction has given 24 world premiere performances. They recently opened for Kronos Quartet, in Kronos’s “Under 30” series. Friction was selected as one of ten artists featured in the San Francisco Bay Guardian’s 2014 “On the Rise” issue, which appeared on March 19, 2014.
Friction Quartet regularly commissions emerging composers to write new works for string quartet. They recently premiered several works that they commissioned including “Unmanned” for quartet and live electronics by Ian Dicke and “Inyo” by Gabriella Smith. Upcoming commissions include works by Mary Kouyoumdjian, Max Stoffregen, Brendon Randall-Myers, Adam Cuthbert, and Ben Hjertmann. Friction Quartet takes risks to enlarge the audience’s understanding of what performances have been a string quartet can be, through the use of digital sound processing, called “terribly beautiful” and percussion, amplification, movement and by combining music with other “chillingly effective” media such as dance and film.

It became an integral part of DVMF’s education program when the festival was founded in 2003. For the three-week seminar, two elite emerging string quartets join their established professional counterpart, the Muir Quartet, in the Deer Valley area. • They rehearse and are coached by Muir Quartet members daily. • They coach Utah students attending summer music camps in the area. • They participate with their mentors in discussions about the string quartet business, including the commissioning of new works. The emerging quartets benefit from the opportunity to perform new string quartets by two up-and-coming composers, who participate in the program under the mentorship of Joan Tower. In a final concert, the two quartets perform pieces from the classical string quartet repertoire, and the world premieres of the new works by the program’s emerging composers.

Nicolas Chuaqui (b. 1990)
deervalleymusicfestival.org 112
My recent work has focused on unifying aspects in music, and stretching these aspects to their limits. This can happen on both a large and small scale. In this piece, it takes place in both ways, creating large contrast between the different movements of the piece, as well as from moment to moment, and instrument to instrument. I was inspired in the composition of this piece by the diversity of human experience, and the question of how individuality and unity of purpose can exist together; while this phenomenon occurs in any musical ensemble, how much it occurs in life is variable. The piece sets up a logical background, but very soon contradictory and clashing elements begin to emerge. The personalities of the individual instruments within the quartet become associated with certain parts of the sound world. The instruments struggle with one another, sometimes playing completely separately, and sometimes completely together. In both cases, the collective sound, and the momentum the quartet generates, may contradict the musical desires of the individual instruments contributing to it. The distinct personalities of the ensemble are brought together, and the drastically different ideas of the piece confront one another, producing some surprising similarities and common ground. Throughout the piece there is also a struggle between what is planned and what arises in the moment. This tension is what propels the momentum of the piece; does logic ultimately prevail, or is transcending the unspoken “rules� we live by always possible? Different sections of the work employ techniques that either require perfect timing on the part of the musicians or blur our sense of timing and rhythm. This creates a unique language which allows for large contrast to exist within one work. I am very thankful to my family, friends, teachers, and colleagues for their support during the composition of this piece.

String Quartet No. 2 (“Intimate Letters”) Duration: 26 minutes in four movements.
Leoš Janácek ˇ (1854–1928)
Janácek ˇ met Kamila Stösslová in 1917. Kamila was 38 years younger than the composer and, though a married woman, Janácek fell almost instantly in love with her. No matter that he was also married and no matter that the infatuation was unrequited at least in terms of intensity; the two struck up a correspondence of mutual admiration that spanned over 700 letters during Janácek’s ˇ last decade of life. Given the near-illicit nature of their relationship, it is unsporting to measure the influence of Kamila on Janácek ˇ the person, but her impact as muse on Janácek ˇ the artist was total. With works like Katya Kabanova, The Cunning Little Vixen, The Makropoulos Affair, both string quartets, the Glagolitic Mass and the famous Sinfonietta, it is no stretch to state that his greatest music was created during the “Kamila” period. The second of the two quartets was the piece most literally tied to Janácek’s great affection for his young “mistress.” Begun ˇ early in his last year, the quartet was originally meant to be called “Love Letters” and, according to Janácek, ˇ it would serve as his musical “confession.” Fear of scandal changed his mind, however, and the only slightly less provocative subtitle of “Intimate Letters” arose in compromise. The music brilliantly captures the impulsive passion of Janácek’s ˇ written words and depicts cardinal moments of their life “together.”

Frictive Grit Duration: 10 minutes.
Anthony Suter
This work is based on the skeletal remains of a dysfunctional quartet I wrote long ago—recycling is so often useful to composers. I have always been attracted to the raw power and visceral energy of a string quartet—while often very beautiful and delicate, works for quartet can also be incredibly savage, even primitive. My earlier attempt at evoking this physical sensation fell flat, but I was able to reuse some of the basic ideas for the piece and better articulate the sound-world and dramatic tone I was going for so many years ago.
(b. 1978)
This piece makes some very substantial demands of the performers. The rhythm is often complicated, the harmonic language dense and dissonant, and I ask for a number of special “effects” (overbowing, scratch tone, etc.). Perhaps the most difficult challenge to the performers is sustaining the tense, very physical, aggressive emotional tone through the entire piece—this work, as it has come into being, is rather relentless.

String Quartet in D Minor, D. 810 (“Death and the Maiden”) Duration: 45 minutes in four movements.
Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
The subtitle for this mature quartet comes from the second movement, where Schubert quotes his own 1817 song setting of a text by Matthias Claudius. In that “Death and the Maiden,” the embodiment of Death gently persuades a young woman that her protestations against him are in vain. He will have her despite them, but she need not fear him. Schubert’s use of this theme in the D Minor Quartet just four years before his death has led many biographers to read a morbid obsession with mortality into the work. He might well have had such obsessions privately (he did once write that “Each night when I go to sleep, I hope to never wake again…”), but there is little to support the notion of the quartet as a programmatic metaphor for the end of life. It is just as likely, based on some purported evidence, that Schubert included the song theme simply on the advice of friends. Whatever the case may be, he certainly never suggested the subtitle himself. The D Minor Quartet is considered one of Schubert’s most superb chamber works and remains a treasured favorite of professional string quartets around the world.

Overture to Lucio Silla, K. 135 THE COMPOSER – WOLFGANG MOZART (1756–1791) Fortunes shifted for the Mozart family in 1771 when their devoted benefactor Archbishop Schrattenbach died and his replacement instituted significant changes to Salzburg’s court music scene. The changes felt rather limiting to a young composer poised to make significant waves throughout Europe. Thankfully, opportunities for Wolfgang were becoming plentiful outside of Salzburg, and the Mozarts travelled to Italy for a third time in 1772. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 oboes,
2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 9 minutes.
THE HISTORY – On a previous Italian trip, Mozart had enjoyed a big success with his opera Mitridate in Milan. As reward for that success he was quickly given another opera commission and promise of a cast that would include some of the finest Italian singers of the day. Mozart collaborated with librettist Giovanni de Gamerra to make good on the new opportunity with the story of Lucio Silla (Lucius Sulla to English speakers). Sulla was a Roman soldier turned general turned dictator who had no trouble killing his political rivals during his consolidation of power. Remarkably, Sulla is remembered today as both a merciless butcher and constitutional reformer. In an even more anomalous turn of events, Sulla actually retired from rule in 79 BC and died later of old age. Roman tyrants were rarely so fortunate. Mozart’s version of Silla was bound not only by his authentic history but also the conventions of 18th-century opera. Villainous autocratic characters in Mozart’s day were expected to be redeemable by the end of their operatic journey, and Silla, in keeping with that tradition, proves to be quite the compassionate softy. Lucio Silla had its share of problems during the rehearsal process and the opening night audience had to wait three full hours for the Archduke to appear and take his seat in the royal box. It was another big success in the end, and a signal that the 16-year-old composer had come of age. THE WORLD – 1772 was also the year of Somersett’s Case in Britain, which effectively confirmed slavery as illegal. Also that year, the First Partition of Poland took place, and the Gaspee Affair occurred near Providence, Rhode Island. THE CONNECTION – The Lucio Silla Overture is something of a rarity on Utah Symphony programs. The last time it was performed was in 1996 under Joseph Silverstein. DEER VALLEY® MUSIC FESTIVAL 127

Symphony No. 36 in C Major, K. 425 (“Linz”) THE COMPOSER – WOLFGANG MOZART (1756–1791) Mozart married Constanze Weber in Vienna on August 4, 1782. Although his father did not initially approve (his reluctant acceptance of reality arrived by mail only on August 5) and her mother might have pressed the matrimonial issue a bit prematurely, theirs would prove a happy union. Professional successes continued to come regularly for Mozart in the Austrian capital, but the couple never enjoyed any sustained financial security. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 oboes,
2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 26 minutes in four movements.
THE HISTORY – Mozart waited nearly a year before bringing Contanze home to Salzburg and, though details are spotty, it seems that the three-month visit with his family was strained. The return trip to Vienna (which must have come as a relief after so many weeks under Leopold’s disapproving glare) was broken up by a stop in the city of Linz. The Mozarts were met at the city gate and taken immediately to the palace of Count Johann Thun-Hohenstein, an old family friend. Mozart learned upon arrival that a special concert was scheduled for the following week and a new symphony expected. Clearly, the incredible hospitality of Count Thun came at a price, but the composer was more than happy to pay it. Impossible deadlines and impossibly amazing results were a common part of Mozart’s history, so much so that the phenomenon is only worth mentioning in the most notable cases. The “Linz” Symphony was one such case. In just four days (“breakneck speed” in the composer’s own estimation), Mozart produced a work of great ambition that projected a fully evolved completeness and signaled a significant step forward from his previous efforts in the genre. There was likely something more in play than his growing maturity as a symphonist. Thanks to the trials of previous months, Mozart was probably in no mood to produce a conventional, courtly bauble. Rather than restraint and appropriateness, “Linz” is filled with fire, wit and melancholy. THE WORLD – The American Revolutionary War ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. Also that year, Waterford Crystal had its beginnings in Ireland, and the first hot air balloon took flight in France. THE CONNECTION – The Linz Symphony last appeared as part of the Deer Valley Music Festival in 2005. Scott O’Neil was on the podium.

By Jeff Counts
Symphony No. 2 in D Major, op. 36 THE COMPOSER – LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) Beethoven spent the summer months of 1802 in the village of Heiligenstadt. The hope was that an extended break from the bustle of Vienna might improve his health in general and his hearing in particular. As we now know, his deafness would not be curable by any amount of rest. We also know that two very different utterances date from the following October—a new symphony and a desperate testament.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)
INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes,
2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings Duration: 32 minutes in four movements.
THE MUSIC – The famous Heiligenstadt Testament was not discovered until after Beethoven’s death. It speaks of “blighted hope” and “courage disappeared” and is a tragically poignant description of his depression. Especially heartbreaking is his recounting of a moment when “someone heard the shepherd singing and again I heard nothing.” How then do we reconcile the light-hearted, often humorous 2nd Symphony that was completed in tandem with such a testament? It could be that Beethoven did most of the finishing work on the piece while he was still optimistic about the healing effects of the countryside. It could also be that his visit to “rock-bottom” uncovered a hidden well of fortitude and that the reason Beethoven hid his testament from view was because it had awakened a burning desire to fulfill his destiny regardless of his limits. Whatever the case may be, the 2nd Symphony marked the beginning of a paradoxically productive period for Beethoven, a man who often fell to inactivity when fate betrayed him. The music is playful, witty and energetic. It lacks the stormy, furrowed-brow qualities of the 3rd and 5th symphonies but has plenty of its own ingenuity to offer. Beethoven replaced the traditional minuet movement with a scherzo and crafted a finale so quirky it elicited one of the greatest reviewer comments in music history, referring to a “wounded dragon that refuses to die and, though bleeding in the finale, furiously thrashes about with its stiffened tail.” Hilarious…and wrong. THE WORLD – The United States Military Academy at West Point was founded in 1802, as was the French Legion of Honor. Also that year, Vietnam’s last ruling family, the Nguyen dynasty, began its 143 year rule. THE CONNECTION – Symphony No. 2 last appeared as part of Maestro Fischer’s Beethoven Cycle in May of 2012.

house rules A Midsummer Night’s Dream… That’s what we’re hoping tonight’s outdoor musical experience becomes for you! However, everyone on the hill could potentially make or break each performance—not just the musicians on stage. Which means you have an important part to play, but don’t worry if you left your violin back home. We’ve got some simple markings to keep you easily following along as you sit back, relax, and enjoy the music. Pianissimo Please Beethoven didn’t write a part for beeping cell phones in his Moonlight Sonata. Let those around you enjoy their own moonlight sonata of sorts by silencing your phones, pagers, loud conversations and other noise-making devices before the performance begins. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies Yes, your children are adorable. However, please keep a close eye on the little sugar plums to be sure they’re not distracting other patrons or running around the lawn during the performance. No Ledger Lines Please don’t block the view of those behind you with large objects (e.g. strollers, umbrellas, etc). Unfortunately, a clear view of the stage can’t be written up on ledger lines. Chairs are only permitted on the West side of the hill, and the maximum chair height is 9 inches in the general admission seating area. Also, there is a limited amount of wheelchair and other accessible seating available. If you need wheelchair seating or other accessible seating please call the ticket office at least 24 hours in advance of the performance. Symphonie Fantastique Of course! Our symphony is utterly fantastic—breathtaking indeed! But attending the Deer Valley® Music Festival can literally take your breath away as well. Depending on where you are in Park City, the altitude varies from 6,800 to 10,000 feet above sea level. We recommend you drink a lot of water Continued on page 147.

house rules to stay hydrated. The air is thin, so pace yourself—the effects of exercise and alcohol are magnified at high altitudes. Smoking is only allowed on the south side of the plaza deck behind the Snow Park Ticket Office. Belshazzar’s Feast Enjoy a feast of music and food while you’re here! Deer Valley® has a full concession stand available, and food and beverages from home may be brought to the performance as well. Large coolers and strollers, however, are not allowed in the reserved seating section. Dissonant Lights and Dynamic Diversions Your fabulous experience tonight will likely tempt you to capture a few moments on film. Please withhold the urge to do so. No picture taking (with or without flash), videos, or recording of any kind is allowed during Utah Symphony | Utah Opera performances. Afternoon of a Faun Unfortunately this is not the evening of a faun… or your dog, or little Timmy’s goldfish. Please leave your pets at home, even if they love music just as much as you do. Rushing the Tempo We truly appreciate those of you who look forward to performances with great anticipation. However, please remember the gate doesn’t open until approximately 5:30 p.m. Once the gate is open, you may reserve an area on the lawn with a blanket, tarp, or by roping off an area. Only reserve enough space for the exact number of people in your party, please. If you plan to leave your blanket and come back later, wind may also be a factor. Please do not use rocks to hold down your blankets or other items, as they can become some pretty intense nonharmonic tones to the lawn mowers. Reminder: You will always need your ticket stub or handstamp to re-enter the performance venue.
