Welcome Dear Friends: Welcome to OSBA’s 2015–2016 season in the newly remodeled Browning Center! There’s nothing better than seeing one of these concerts or ballets LIVE. For 65 years we have presented these concerts in Ogden for northern Utah audiences. Thank you, thank you to the hundreds of people who have been instrumental in that longevity: the visionaries who saw the need beginning back in 1950; the faithful patrons; the donors who have contributed large and small amounts every year; and the volunteers who have given countless hours of service to OSBA. Look at all that is scheduled for this year: ♫ Utah Symphony Masterworks Series - four inspiring concerts ♫ Utah Symphony Entertainment Series - four diverse concerts sure to entertain ♫ Utah Symphony Family Series - entertainment for the entire family times three ♫ Ballet West - “The Nutcracker” with the entire troupe and “Beauty and the Beast” with Ballet West II dancers ♫ BYU Ballroom Dance Company is back by popular demand ♫ “5 Carols for Christmas and Jingle Jacks” written by Jim Christian and Ken Plain Just a reminder about OSBA: • We are a non-profit organization with a 501(c)(3) tax designation. • We contract with Utah Symphony | Utah Opera, Ballet West, and other groups and pay for their Ogden performances held at Weber State’s Browning Center. We do not receive proceeds of fund raising efforts held by any of those organizations. • Ticket revenue pays about 45% of the cost of the concerts. The balance comes from donations made by individuals, businesses, foundations, and city, state, and local governments, including the RAMP tax initiative. • Besides the concerts, OSBA also supports: Educational and community outreach programs Youth Guild for the Performing Arts “The Ride” for seniors living in Weber County Informal “Conversations” prior to the Classical Series concerts

Notes on the Program Richard Wagner (1813–1883)

“Good Friday Spell” from Parsifal (arr. Hutschenruyter) INSTRUMENTATION: 3 flutes, 3 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon; 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba; timpani; strings PERFORMANCE TIME: 12 minutes.

BACKGROUND The bicentennial of Richard Wagner’s birth occurred in 2013, providing another reason for the music world to reflect on the revolutionary impact of Wagner’s genius. Not that we are ever far from experiencing the effects of Wagner’s achievements. By the time he finished composing Parsifal, only about a year before his death at age 70, Wagner’s thinking on aesthetics had departed so radically and importantly from tradition that artists of all kinds—painters, sculptors, writers, and dramatists— as well as composers—knew that the ground rules for their creative efforts might be changed forever. His harmonies were suspended and ambiguous; his motifs lacked the clear resolution of Classical melodies of the past. They expressed an inner reality: a world of emotion and thought seemingly more real than the world of material objects outside the mind. If a composer could make music like this, then nothing was off-limits for any artist. Small wonder that Wagner’s orchestra and the voices required to carry over them are unusually large. The experience is almost like entering an alternate mode of existence and is an early example of the allencompassing narrative adventure that moves Star Wars enthusiasts to create their own light sabers and imagine themselves in a faraway galaxy.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR If all of this sounds like it takes secret knowledge to appreciate Wagner, that’s simply not true. Today, listening to late Romantic compositions after having heard the wide-ranging modern experiments that followed, it might be hard for us to imagine that Brahms and Wagner were considered artistic antagonists who represented music’s traditional glories on the one hand and its limitless future on the other. But for all the time-annihilating gorgeousness of Wagner’s music, it is relatively rare in the concert hall. We grow up knowing examples such as the wedding march extracted from his opera Lohengrin and the “Ride of the Valkyries” from his opera Die Walküre. Yet his musical compositions were almost entirely for the operatic stage, and the tiny handful of instrumental works he produced do not represent his revolutionary side. In that context, excerpts such as the “Good Friday Spell” are not only beautiful, but also enlightening. Wagner published the “Good Friday Spell” for concert performance even though he felt the opera itself should be performed nowhere outside his beloved Bayreuth Festspielhaus until at least three decades after its premiere, lest it descend to the level of “mere amusement.” Majestic in its solemnity, the passage includes principal motifs from the opera and the famous “Dresden amen,” a traditional sacred chord progression. The passage occurs in the opera’s third act, as the knight Parsifal, wearied by years of travel, takes rest in a sunlit meadow filled with flowers. Refreshed by the beauty of nature, Parsifal learns from his fellow-knight Gurnemanz that this benediction is the result of “Good Friday’s magic spell,” when all creation rejoices, cleansed of sin. The effect is of ethereal innocence and tranquility.

801.399.9214 [ symphonyballet.org ]

Notes on the Program Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)

Concerto No. 2 in C minor for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 18 INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons; 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba; timpani, bass drum, crash cymbals; strings PERFORMANCE TIME: 32 minutes

BACKGROUND Though he was born before the last quarter of the 19th century began, Rachmaninoff was essentially a figure of the 20th century. Still, we can call him the last of the Russian Romantics; his sound was rooted in the 1800s and in the Russian nationalist composers dating back to Glinka and Tchaikovsky. He was also one of the greatest pianists of his day, and perhaps one of the greatest ever. With superlative technique and hands of enormous reach (possibly the result of Marfan syndrome, a congenital cardiac condition), he was ideally suited to perform works of power and Romantic sweep. Trained as a pianist as well as a composer in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, Rachmaninoff focused on the piano in both composition and performance. Of his three concertos, the second is both the most popular and the most admired among critics. This is the composition that made his reputation. By now, fans and musicians have affectionately named his concertos “Rocky 1,” “Rocky 2” and “Rocky 3,” but it was Rocky 2 that first acquired its nickname. And, appropriately enough, it takes a heavyweight talent to go the distance with it.

801.399.9214 [ symphonyballet.org ]

The concerto’s success was hard-won. Composed between the autumn of 1900 and the spring of 1901, it followed by three years the dismal reception of Rachmaninoff’s first symphony, which proved a setback to his musical ambitions (despite the acclaim it earned later). Long troubled by clinical depression, the well-born Rachmaninoff benefited from excellent medical care and the support of friends and colleagues, who encouraged him to rededicate himself to piano composition. It was good advice, and helped him to work free from a creative stasis. In fact, while many concertos are dedicated to the soloists who premiered them, this one is dedicated to Rachmaninoff’s physician, Nikolai Dahl. It was the success of this concerto combined with the relative failure of Rachmaninoff’s first symphony that made him a celebrity in America, a virtuoso pianist performing his own virtuosic compositions. He would not attempt another symphony until 10 years after his first, and the merits of his great orchestral compositions would not be fully appreciated until years after his death. Today, even Rachmaninoff’s flair as an opera composer is being rediscovered. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR With his impressive technique, Rachmaninoff was ideally suited to perform his own piano works, and did so on concert tours in the U.S. and elsewhere. Listening to his concertos, we sense the perfect match between his physical gifts as a soloist and his style as a composer: These are compositions of dynamic extremes and singing melodies that require both power and speed. The aural effects are spectacular, requiring a huge note span, blinding dexterity, the ability to delineate multiple voices, and the control to delineate subtle gradations in tempos and dynamics.

Notes on the Program Through all of that, Rachmaninoff requires the pianist to spin a silken cocoon of sound that is voluptuous and quintessentially Romantic. No one combines musical intimacy and sensuality with grand, even monumental sound the way Rachmaninoff does, especially in this concerto. One can hear the brooding depressive as well as the ardent romantic in every bar. In the first movement, marked “moderato” and written in C minor, an opening of intense foreboding builds through a series of powerful, chiming chords by the soloist. As the tension builds to a breaking point, the piano breaks into a sweeping main theme that is taken up in the violins, but that quickly engulfs the entire orchestra. From this moment on—indeed, from the initial sounds of the piano’s lone voice in the concerto’s introduction—this is a hugely scaled musical statement that balances sweeping, melancholy phrases with melodies that express the sweetness and pain of romantic yearning. Throughout we hear both the chilly breadth of Russian outdoors and a moody interior landscape. When a rolling theme emerges, its march tempo gives it the quality of an inexorable machine, with only the solo piano to challenge it. Slow chords in the strings open the second movement, an adagio that moves from C minor into E Major. While the piano delineates a theme through fleet, poetic arpeggios, the overall mood remains melancholy, with a short exchange between orchestra and piano developing the movement’s motifs. Yet this tinge of sadness does not overwhelm, perhaps balanced by the sense of romance and melodic richness. The concerto’s songful quality, which gave rise to two Frank Sinatra tunes based on the first movement alone (“I Think of You” and “Ever and Forever”), takes full flight in the lush, gorgeous third movement, marked “allegro scherzando.” This movement is

built around a melody that could be the distilled essence of romance, and that forms the basis of the song “Full Moon and Empty Arms.” It has been excerpted in dozens of movies to convey the exquisite pleasure of love anticipated… and the exquisite pain of love unfulfilled. It can also be said to have saved Rachmaninoff’s life: When he composed it and discussed it with colleagues, it secured his more optimistic outlook on his composing prospects. This is the theme that turned Brief Encounter into a three-handkerchief weepy; “delicious” is one of the words Marilyn Monroe uses to describe it in The Seven Year Itch. “Every time I hear it, I go to pieces!” she exclaims. The concerto ends in a flourish of virtuosity and optimism that may well reflect the composer’s rising optimism during its composition, when he was buoyed by colleagues’ encouragement. The last movement, an allegro, opens with an introduction that moves away from the previous movement’s E Major, where the music was lush but the emotions lingered in an atmosphere of twilit moodiness. To close, it transitions from C minor to C Major with ever-increasing tension and energy. The final thematic statements and coda are resolved in C Major, in a loud and ecstatic finale. Ottorino Respighi (1879—1936)

Fountains of Rome INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons; 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba; timpani, chimes, crash cymbals, glockenspiel, triangle; strings PERFORMANCE TIME: 15 minutes

801.399.9214 [ symphonyballet.org ]

Notes on the Program BACKGROUND Born in 1879, the Bolognese master Ottorino Respighi lived most of his life in the 20th century (he died in 1936). But in the charm and tonal elegance of his music we can hear 19th- and 20thcentury aesthetics colored by his infatuation with earlier days: music of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods, from the 16th through the 18th centuries. Though Respighi was periodically attracted to modernist ideas at various times during his musical education, he always reverted to a personal style of composition steeped in the past. His music is graceful, courtly, and opulent; it often seems to iridesce with shifting colors. The rhythms are whirling or stately. The sound beguiles us like an antique music box. Respighi began his career as a violinist and violist, studying first with his father and then at the Liceo Musicale in Bologna, but history and composition studies were also included in his curriculum. After graduating in1899, he became principal violist in the orchestra of the Russian Imperial Theatre in St. Petersburg. There he studied composition with Rimsky-Korsakov, one of the great masters of orchestral color, whose influence can be heard in all of Respighi’s most popular works. Returning to Italy, he became first violinist in the Mugellini Quintet, but devoted himself mainly to composing from 1909 onward. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR Fountains of Rome gives us Respighi’s vibrant impressions of Rome’s four great fountains. Few musical works so richly deserve to be called picturesque; the movements of this popular suite sparkle and soar with their sensual effects, with which Respighi sought to capture each fountain at the moment of its greatest beauty. In his own notes for Fountains of Rome, Respighi noted:

801.399.9214 [ symphonyballet.org ]

The first part of the poem, inspired by the fountain of Valle Giulia, depicts a pastoral landscape: droves of cattle pass and disappear in the fresh, damp mists of the Roman dawn. A sudden loud and insistent blast of horns above the trills of the whole orchestra introduces the second part, “The Triton Fountain.” It is like a joyous call, summoning troops of naiads and tritons, who come running up, pursuing each other and mingling in a frenzied dance between the jets of water. Next there appears a solemn theme borne on the undulations of the orchestra. It is the fountain of Trevi at mid-day. The solemn theme, passing from the woodwind to the brass instruments, assumes a triumphal character. Trumpets peal: Across the radiant surface of the water there passes Neptune’s chariot drawn by seahorses and followed by a train of sirens and tritons. The procession vanishes while faint trumpet blasts resound in the distance. In the fourth part, the Fountain at the Villa Medici, is announced by a sad theme which rises above the subdued warbling. It is the nostalgic hour of sunset. The air is full of the sound of tolling bells, the twittering of birds, the rustling of leaves. Then all dies peacefully into the silence of the night. Ottorino Respighi (1879–1936)

Pines of Rome INSTRUMENTATION: 3 flutes, 3rd doubling piccolo, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contabassoon; 6 horns, 5 trumpets, 5 trombones, tuba; timpani, bass drum, campanelli, piatti, raganella, tam tam, tamburo basco, triangle; strings

Notes on the Program PERFORMANCE TIME: 15 minutes. BACKGROUND Pines of Rome, is the second of the orchestral suites that comprise Ottorino Respighi’s popular “Roman Triptych,” which also includes Fountains of Rome, and Feste Romane (“Roman Festivals”). All three showcase his gift for creating music that seems vividly and specifically visual, a goal sought by many of the baroque composers he so admired. In his determination to create a richly detailed and truthful sense of atmosphere for this work, Respighi calls for the use of a recorded nightingale at the close of the third movement— one of the earliest inclusions of an electronic element into a classical score (1928). Over the years, the recording medium has progressed from 78-rpm records to audiotape to digital media, but the nightingale’s song has remained true to Respighi’s original selection. WHAT TO LISTEN FOR In the first movement of The Pines, we are treated to a view of the sumptuous Villa Borghese, where rambunctious children are playing and soldiers are marching amid the pines. Next we are transported to a subterranean catacomb in Campagna, with its eerie vaults and priestly chanting deftly evoked by low orchestral voicing, organ, and trombones. In the third movement, the nocturnal feeling is accented by the sound of a nightingale among the pines of Janiculum Hill. As Respighi’s Roman travelogue progresses, we realize that not only has he transported us through the city of Rome, but through a day as

well: starting with children at play on a sunlit afternoon, through the night, and finally to the Via Appia, where The Pines of Rome ends in the brilliance of a Roman sunrise. Respighi’s notes about the suite include the following observations: The Pines of the Villa Borghese (Allegretto vivace)—Children are at play in the pine groves of the Villa Borghese, dancing the Italian equivalent of “Ring around a Rosy.” They mimic marching soldiers and battles. They twitter and shriek like swallows at evening, coming and going in swarms. Suddenly the scene changes. The Pines Near a Catacomb (Lento)—We see the shadows of the pines, which overhang the entrance of a catacomb. From the depths rises a chant, which echoes solemnly, like a hymn, and is then mysteriously silenced. The Pines of the Janiculum (Lento)—There is a thrill in the air. The full moon reveals the profile of the pines of Gianicolo’s Hill. A nightingale sings. The Pines of the Appian Way (Tempo di Marcia)—Misty dawn on the Appian Way. The tragic country is guarded by solitary pines. Indistinctly, incessantly, the rhythm of unending steps. The poet has a fantastic vision of past glories. Trumpets blare, and the army of the Consul bursts forth in the grandeur of a newly risen sun toward the Sacred Way, mounting in triumph the Capitoline Hill. By Michael Clive
