Overture
If the past eight months have taught us anything, it’s that it will take much more than a flood to stop the Nashville Symphony.
I am honored to have the privilege of welcoming you back to Schermerhorn Symphony Center! We feel incredibly grateful to be back home. If the past eight months have taught us anything, it’s that it will take much more than a flood to stop the Nashville Symphony. Thanks to the hard work of our staff and musicians, and thanks to your support and patronage, the orchestra has been able to uphold its commitment to artistic excellence and community service, even in the face of enormous challenges. And thanks to the incredible rebuilding team led by American Constructors, today Schermerhorn Symphony Center stands stronger than ever. This month as we celebrate our return to our beautiful concert hall, we’re also celebrating some exciting news: Our recording of works by Michael Daugherty has been nominated for five GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Classical Album and Best Orchestral Performance! These latest nominations bring our total number of GRAMMY® nominations over the past decade to 13, a testament to our orchestra’s artistic excellence and growing national profile. During January, I’ll be traveling literally around the world to do some guest conducting. I’m thrilled to be performing in Asia for the first time as I spend a two-week residency with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in Kuala Lumpur. Soon after that, I’ll be leading the Kansas City Symphony with guest cellist Alisa Weilerstein. While I’m away, I leave the Nashville Symphony in the extremely capable hands of our Resident Conductor Albert-George Schram and our Associate Conductor Kelly Corcoran, along with two wonderful guest conductors, Nicholas McGegan and Mario Venzago. If you’re in the audience for our January 6 performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, you might like to know that your applause will be heard around the country, because the public radio program Performance Today will be recording this concert for national broadcast! Thank you for joining us at Schermerhorn Symphony Center this evening. We look forward to sharing many more nights of music with you.

HighNotes
Nashville Symphony recording earns five GRAMMY® nominations Nashville Symphony is beginning the year on a high note, indeed: We recently learned that our recording of Michael Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony has earned five GRAMMY® nominations! Released in September 2009 on Naxos, the disc has been nominated in the following categories: Best Classical Album, Best Orchestral Performance, Best Instrumental Soloist with an Orchestra, Best Classical Contemporary Composition and Best Engineered Album, Classical. We’ll learn whether the recording takes home any gold statues when winners are announced at the 53rd Annual GRAMMY® Awards on February 13. Recorded at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Daugherty recording is the orchestra’s first release with Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero. Nashville Symphony President and CEO Alan Valentine says, “This continued recognition from the GRAMMY® Awards is a testament not just to the growing artistic profile of our orchestra, but also to Giancarlo’s remarkable leadership and to Michael Daugherty’s singular voice as a composer.” Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony pays tribute to the American comic book hero Superman, while the other recording on the disc, the piano concerto Deus ex Machina, is inspired by trains of the past and future. The featured soloist, pianist Terrence Wilson, was recognized with the GRAMMY® nomination for Best Instrumental Soloist with an Orchestra. Over the past decade, the Nashville Symphony has become one of the most active recording orchestras in the country, with a total of 20 releases. This latest round of nominations brings the Nashville Symphony’s total number of GRAMMY® nominations to 13. In 2008, the orchestra’s recording of Joan Tower’s Made in America received three GRAMMY® Awards. Copies of the Metropolis Symphony CD are available for sale at the Symphony Store.
We’re ready to announce another exciting season! Highlighted by a trip to Carnegie Hall in May 2012, the Nashville Symphony’s 2011/12 season promises to be one of the most exciting in the orchestra’s history — and you can learn all about it on Friday, January 21, when we announce our upcoming season! We’ve got some big surprises in store, including world-renowned guest artists and adventurous new recording and commissioning projects. It’s an experience you won’t have anywhere else in Nashville — or maybe the world — and it’s right here at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. For more details or to renew your season tickets, visit NashvilleSymphony.org anytime after midnight on January 21, or call the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Box Office during regular business hours at 615.687.6400.

Double Bass, Nashville Symphony Hometown: Royal Oak and Ann Arbor, Michigan Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 1991 January is the orchestra’s first month at the Schermerhorn following the flood. What makes you most excited about being back? When the orchestra performs in one place, we become much more cohesive as a unit because the acoustics aren’t constantly changing on us; the musicians are better able to get familiar with each other’s sound. Acoustics aside, we can hardly wait to get back to our rebecca J Willie beautiful backstage area! As a bass player, moving from hall to hall has made for a strenuous fall. It’s going to be really nice to have a place where we can leave our instruments. Another thing I’m looking forward to is that we have a lot of one-onone interaction with our audience at the Schermerhorn — when you’re sitting onstage, you can look up and meet someone’s eye. Is there a piece of music you’ve always wanted to perform? Actually, there’s an artist I’d like to perform with — opera singer Bryn Terfel. Who’s your favorite non-classical musician? I have very warm feelings for Ben Folds right now. I love his music, and I think what he’s done for the Nashville Symphony [through his fund-raising concert at TPAC] is fantastic. What got you interested in playing music? There are a lot of amateur and professional musicians in my extended family, so music wasn’t an unusual career choice for me. I started on piano and cello, but when I was a junior in high school, there were too many cellos and not enough bass players, so I decided to take up the bass. I taught myself a little bit at the beginning, and then I had a really great student teacher. To her dying day, my mother would say that if she’d known I was going to make a serious career out of it, she never would have let me play bass. So what do you like about playing double bass? Bass players have a lot of camaraderie, and the music itself is the foundation of everything that goes on in the orchestra, which appeals to my personality. In addition to performing in the orchestra, you’re also a yoga instructor. Are there ways that one influences how you do the other? Yoga has taught me to be more accepting of myself as I am. It teaches you to look ahead and be in the present moment, which is very important when you’re reading music. If you make a mistake when you’re performing, and you look back and think, “What happened there?,” by the time you figure out where you are again, you’ve missed three other things! Also, the physical aspects of yoga practice have been very helpful for me. The bass is a very physical instrument to play, so the strength and flexibility I get from yoga have been really important. Knock on wood, I’ve been injury-free as a bass player, and not everyone can say that. What would you be doing if you weren’t a professional musician or a yoga instructor? I already have the two greatest jobs there are! J anuary

InTune Support the arts: Bolt them to your car! You’ve seen them around town — those eye-catching license plates decorated with a saxophone-playing cat, a grinning fish and a colorful rainbow. But did you know they help a worthy cause? Sales of these specialty license plates provide more than two-thirds of the funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grants programs. So if you love the arts, invest in one of these license plates. Arts organizations that receive Tennessee Arts Commission grants are much better equipped to serve their communities and improve the quality of life for people of all ages and backgrounds. When you purchase one of these specialty license plates, you are: • Providing the primary source of funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grant programs • Funding projects in communities both large and small, urban and rural • Enhancing education and appreciation of the arts • Building Tennessee’s next generation of artists and art students • Generating tax dollars for the state • Helping to train a qualified workforce • Leveraging private dollars for local arts activities If you’d like to order a specialty license plate, you can visit your local County Clerk’s Office, or you can order one online at www.tennessee.gov/revenue/vehicle/licenseplates/specialty.htm. The Nashville Symphony thanks you for your support of the arts! Arts organizations can’t succeed in their missions without funds from local, state and national government agencies.

Felix MeNdelSSohN Born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg, Germany; died on November 4, 1847, in Leipzig, Germany Overture to Die schöne Melusine [The Fair Melusina], Op. 32 Felix Mendelssohn composed his first version of the Overture to Die schöne Melusine in 1833 and revised the score in 1835. Inspired by the well-known legend of the mermaid who must forsake her human lover, Mendelssohn’s Felix MeNdelssohN piece is a self-contained overture intended for the concert hall. Although Mendelssohn shares traits with the generation of young Romantics of which he was a member, his lucid orchestration and symmetrical form show his affinity for the clarity of Classical masters. First performance: Conductor Ignaz Moscheles led the premiere in London on April 7, 1834; the composer himself conducted the first performance of the revised version in Leipzig in November 1835. First Nashville Symphony performance: This is the Nashville Symphony’s first performance. estimated length: 12 minutes recommended listening: Claudio Abbado’s exquisite account of Die schöne Melusine with the London Symphony includes such other great Mendelssohn overtures as The Hebrides and A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Deutsche Grammophon). Mendelssohn’s impulse to write his Overture to Die schöne Melusine is a neat instance of rivalry spurring creative inspiration. As a child prodigy, Mendelssohn was welcomed into the circle of the elderly Goethe, often playing music for him. Quite likely, then, he was familiar with the literary master’s retelling of one of the staple legends of European folklore in his novel Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship. (See the sidebar at right.) The playwright Franz Grillparzer adapted Goethe’s version into a libretto, which he pitched to Beethoven before it was finally set by the composer Conradin Kreutzer. Mendelssohn saw Kreutzer’s opera, Melusina, when it was produced in Berlin and became annoyed by the public’s warm response to what he considered an entirely lackluster score. He determined to write an overture of his own that would contain more genuine feeling. Mendelssohn completed the piece in time for the birthday of his beloved older sister Fanny, who was herself a composer. For the London premiere, he resorted to the title Melusine, or the Mermaid and the Knight. Mendelssohn later lamented how easily the pictorial associations of this widely known story could crowd out the actual musical content of a composition he deemed one of his finest achievements.
the legend of the Melusina Folklore and myth around the world have devised countless variations on the theme of a feminine spirit who interacts with the human realm and falls in love with a mortal. in some versions she is a mermaid, in others a half serpent. eventually, her lover discovers her secret and she must depart. european variants of this legend became especially popular in the 19th century and can be found across all the arts, from sir Walter scott and John Keats (whose beautiful poem “lamia” involves the serpent incarnation) to goethe’s retelling in “the new melusina.” the legend remains popular today. an especially poignant version can be found in the recent irish film ondine.

The Overture’s three main themes may suggest characters in the legend, but instead of replicating the events of the narrative, Mendelssohn uses a cleverly modified sonata structure that has its own coherence. The music begins with a fluid and mellifluous motif, played first by overlapping clarinets and then by flute, which presents the feminine Melusine in her watery element. This upward-rippling texture, as has often been noted, would later be echoed in Wagner’s music depicting the flowing Rhine River (with its own mermaidlike creatures) at the beginning of Das Rheingold. Notice how gracefully Mendelssohn threads this gentle theme between different instruments. Shifting to the minor, Mendelssohn then introduces a dramatic new theme associated with the human realm and Melusine’s mortal beloved, the knight Raimund. The music’s stuttering rhythms are aggressive and insistent, but a new, more lyrical idea then emerges. Mendelssohn develops and recombines all this material at length. Listen for the poignant oboe solos that hint at despairing cries. In the end, the two realms — the supernatural and the human — must remain separate, and Melusine’s music closes out the Overture with a perfect, bittersweet symmetry.

WolFGaNG aMadeuS Mozart Born on January 27, 1756, in Salzburg, austria; died on December 5, 1791, in Vienna Concerto for Piano No. 22 in E-flat major, K. 482 Mozart completed his Concerto no. 22 on December 16, 1785. Written while he was at the height of his fame as a virtuoso pianist and composer in Vienna, the Concerto contains hints of the opera Mozart was working on at the same time, The Marriage of Figaro.
WolFGaNG aMadeUs Mozart
First performance: Mozart premiered his new concerto on December 23, 1785, playing the solo part. First Nashville Symphony performance: October 20 & 22, 1983, at Tennessee Performing Arts Center with guest pianist alicia DeLarrocha estimated length: 35 minutes recommended listening: Try the elegant account by Alfred Brendel as soloist, with Sir Neville Marriner leading the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (Philips). Robert Levin has released a fascinating periodinstrument version (playing fortepiano) with Christopher Hogwood conducting the Academy of ancient Music. Mozart’s first years as a freelance artist in Vienna — where he had relocated in 1781 — were flush with a sense of exciting new possibilities. Earlier, in Salzburg, Mozart had composed a handful of keyboard concertos, but as a result of his new situation in Vienna, he was able to achieve an ideal synthesis of elements in his concertos, drawing on his complementary personas as composer and performer. Concerts featuring Mozart as keyboard soloist managed, for a while, to capture the attention of the fickle Viennese audience. The concerto format was a calling card that allowed Mozart to introduce his latest music. At the same time, he was proud of the commercial appeal of these works. Biographer Robert Gutman remarks that the piano concerto “became the symbol of his ascending popularity, the very core of his extraordinary success in Vienna.” In the process, Mozart laid the groundwork for the piano concerto as a substantial musical statement, on a par with the newly evolving symphony. The Concerto in E-flat (K. 482) dates from the peak of Mozart’s remarkably fertile period of concentration on the piano concerto.
What to listen for The E-flat Concerto tends to be eclipsed by the darkly dramatic Concerto in D minor, written earlier in 1785, which profoundly influenced Beethoven. Mozart scholar Alfred Einstein sees the E-flat Concerto as marked by a “return” to a more audience-friendly manner that “would be sure of success.” While it may lack the sustained drama and invention of the earlier work, K. 482 is filled with delights of its own. Mozart’s genius allowed him to endow each of the concertos from his maturity with a unique coloration and character. This is immediately apparent in the mellow sonority of the clarinets we first hear in the orchestral exposition. Mozart incorporates the clarinet (in lieu of oboes) in his concerto scoring for the first time in this piece. The soloist enters playing transitional material based on scales, but this is no “filler.” It will prove integral to the development of the first movement. An unexpected swerve into B-flat minor foreshadows the deeper shades of the Andante. To the composer’s own surprise, the audience demanded an encore of the Andante at his Advent concert.

Indeed, this variation-based slow movement in C minor is the heart of the concerto. Mozart was hard at work at the time composing The Marriage of Figaro, the first of his operatic collaborations with Lorenzo da Ponte. Something of the bittersweet eros that pervades Figaro seems to touch the Andante as well, with its poignant contrasts of harmony and texture. The piano embarks on the first two variations, while passages featuring woodwinds envelope the second variation, both turning to the major. A lengthy third variation then leads on to a spellbinding coda. Notice the astonishing interruption to the catchy rondo finale, made by a minuet-like Andantino episode that seems to come out of nowhere. Here, the sensuous operatic strains of another of the Mozart-da Ponte operas, Così fan tutte, wander into the world of the piano concerto. Mozart, who left no cadenzas for K. 482, gives the soloist (originally himself) leeway to play up the wit of the elegant repartee and dialogue with the orchestra. A false-end feint near the close seems like a nod to Haydn, with whom Mozart had recently become close friends and who understood his genius better than anyone. In addition to solo piano, the Piano Concerto No. 22 is scored for 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. ludWiG vaN BeethoveN Born on December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany; died on March 26, 1827, in Vienna Symphony No. 4 in B-flat major, Op. 60 Beethoven composed the Symphony No. 4 in 1806. He dedicated the score to Count Franz von Oppersdorff, one of his patrons. The Fourth Symphony tends to be overshadowed by the epic grandeur of the “Eroica” and the fatefilled Fifth, but the notion that it represents merely a “throwback” to a more conservative mode ignores the innovative spirit of this wonderful composition.

First performance: March 1807 in Vienna, with the composer conducting a private concert held at the palace of one of his patrons. First Nashville Symphony performance: December 20, 1949, at Ryman Auditorium with Music Director William Strickland estimated length: 45 minutes recommended: Rather than recommend a recording of the Symphony No. 4 alone, I’d recommend getting a complete set of the Beethoven symphonies. No collection should be without this indispensable repertory, and there are many fine budget editions available: David Zinman’s cycle with the Tonhalle Orchestra (Arte Nova) or Herbert von Karajan’s with the Berlin Philharmonic and Leonard Bernstein’s with the Vienna Philharmonic (both Deutsche Grammophon) are some choices to start with. More pricey and more controversial — but also filled with remarkable insights — is the cycle Nikolaus Harnoncourt recorded with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (Teldec). The image of Beethoven as intrepid “rule-breaker” became entrenched early on, but it has tended to distort our understanding of the true nature and extent of his originality. While the Eroica is rightly viewed as a paradigm shift for the symphony, preoccupation with its revolutionary qualities — and, in similar fashion, with the formal innovations of the Fifth — can make the Fourth Symphony seem like a tame beast in comparison. Something of this bias lies behind Robert Schumann’s familiar metaphor comparing the work to a “slender Greek maiden,” yet the presumably “feminine” qualities of lithe J anuary

lyricism in the Fourth represent only one of its facets. According to prevailing wisdom, the Fourth enacts both a return to more familiar classical patterns and a “relaxation” of the dramatic tension that is the engine of Beethoven’s heroic style. It is true that he composed this work for a patron, the Silesian Count Franz von Oppersdorff, who had expressed particular admiration for his Second Symphony; yet Beethoven’s creative process was always driven by the search for different solutions to compositional challenges. The Fourth inserts its own powerfully original glosses on the expressive rhetoric of his models, particularly Haydn. That these are contained within a relatively conservative framework adds to their delightful subtlety — making the Fourth a symphony for true Beethoven connoisseurs. Even more, the Fourth reminds us that Beethoven’s symphonic achievement did not develop as a tabula rasa wiped clean of the past, but as an ongoing argument and dialogue with tradition. Beethoven sought a synthesis of spontaneity and craft, innovation and tradition, fantasy and form.
What to listen for The long Adagio opening returns to the scheme used in the first two symphonies, with a slow introduction to the first movement proper. The model here comes from Haydn’s London Symphonies, particularly the Symphony No. 102, also in B-flat. Beethoven elaborates this
•IC-1011-JAN.indd 32
12/20/10 8:50 AM
into a remarkable drama of sustained suspense and mystery. The Ninth, which opened Nashville Symphony’s season, would establish a new paradigm for later composers, with an initial dark chaos from which musical form emerges. The Fourth, with its sonic groping toward the light, anticipates that process and was an inspiration as well. Beethoven’s harmonic ambiguity in the introduction serves to intensify the blaze of B-flat major that erupts as the first movement proper pushes off. That thrilling sense of release so early in the symphony, according to British musicologist Robert Simpson, is a feature that the Fourth shares with the Fifth and Sixth symphonies. In all three, Beethoven uses this strategy of a dramatic transformation from darkness to light. That outburst is just one example of why the commonplace depiction of the Fourth as merely graceful feels so inadequate. Beethoven continues to infuse drama into this movement through his exciting contrasts of dynamics and texture. Listen for the masterfully built crescendo — and the timpani’s role in it — that leads into the recapitulation. Each movement of the Fourth has a distinctive rhythmic character. In this regard, the Fourth also looks ahead to the Seventh (Beethoven’s only subsequent symphony with a similarly prolonged slow introduction). Notice the repetitive rhythmic motif that comes in and out of the foreground in the slow movement. Beethoven sets its mechanical pattern off against one of the loveliest melodies he ever composed, spun from a descending scale. Beethoven labels the third movement “Minuet,” but his head-spinning use of syncopation, dynamic contrast and harmonic tricks unquestionably updates the dance into a more energy-fueled scherzo. The regularity of meter in the middle trio (which Beethoven asks to be played twice) has comic naïvete, a foil to the main section’s outrageous rowdiness. Beethoven pays his most open homage to Haydn in the finale, which churns with a theme of dizzying perpetual motion. The “feminine” charms of Schumann’s classic Greek maiden are, after all,
but one facet of the Fourth. Beethoven’s score encompasses yin and yang, shadow and light — all capped by a final, resounding joke. The Symphony No. 4 is scored for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. — Thomas May is the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator.

about the artists
NicholaS McGeGaN, conductor Nicholas McGegan has been described as “one of the finest Baroque conductors of his generation” by Britain’s Independent. As music director of San Francisco-based Philharmonia Baroque, he has established the group as the leading period band in America. In 2005, they marked their 20-year association with concerts at Nicholas McGeGaN Carnegie Hall and their first European tour, which included appearances at the BBC Proms, Snape Maltings Aldeburgh, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the International Handel Festival (Göttingen), where McGegan has been artistic director since 1991. Active in opera as well as the concert hall, he has been principal guest conductor of Scottish Opera and principal conductor of Sweden’s 18th century theater in Drottningholm. He has been a pioneer in the process of exporting historically informed practice beyond the small world of period instruments to the wider realm of conventional symphonic forces, guest-conducting with orchestras such as the Philadelphia and Concertgebouw, and with the symphony orchestras of Toronto, Montreal and Sydney. He has also broken new ground in experimental dance collaborations with Mark Morris, notably at J anuary

From 1986 to 1993, he was professor of piano at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. President of the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he is currently Dwight P. Robinson, Jr. Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University. In addition to his performing activities, Robert Levin is a noted theorist and music scholar. A member of the Akademie für Mozartforschung, he is the author of a number of articles and essays on Mozart. His completions of Mozart fragments are published by Bärenreiter, Breitkopf & Härtel, Carus, Peters and Wiener Urtext Edition, and have been recorded and performed throughout the world. Levin’s cadenzas to the Mozart violin concertos have been recorded by Gidon Kremer with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic for Deutsche Grammophon and published by Universal-Edition. His reconstruction of the Symphonie concertante in E-flat major for four winds and orchestra, K.297B, was premiered by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the Mozartwoche in Salzburg, and has subsequently been performed worldwide. The first of the four recordings of the work, by Philips, won the 1985 Grand Prix International du Disque.

about the program
The unmistakable vocal style of Peter Cetera will mark the return of the Nashville Symphony’s Bank of America Pops Series to Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Cetera, former lead vocalist of the legendary rock group Chicago, will perform many of his award-winning songs, preceded by some classic selections from the orchestra. The evening begins with an orchestral rendition of one of the most famous songs in American music, “St. Louis Blues.” Composed by “Father of the Blues” W.C. Handy in 1914, “St. Louis Blues” has achieved iconic status in the jazz repertoire and is considered so essential that it is referred to as the “jazzman’s Hamlet.” The song has been recorded by a remarkable array of artists, though it is most strongly associated with Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong. “St. Louis Blues” is rhythmically complex, incorporating elements of ragtime and tango music, and is credited with inspiring a ballroom dance, the foxtrot. The American musical theme continues with two more selections — Brian Gaber’s “American Voices: Satchel Paige” and “Nick’s Blues” by Lee Norris — before moving on to music with a Latin flavor. Estancia was commissioned by impresario Lincoln Kirstein for a ballet set in composer Alberto Ginastera’s native Argentina. Ginastera based the piece on an epic poem by José Hernández about a gaucho, or Argentinean cowboy. The Malambo movement is inspired by the traditional gaucho dance of that name. Performed only by men, the dance has a distinctly virile rhythm, which is reflected in Ginastera’s earthy, bold composition. The program shifts from ballet to big band with Louis Prima’s “Sing, Sing, Sing.” This 1936 tune has become virtually synonymous with swing and big band music, thanks in large measure to a classic recording by Benny Goodman. It has also had a rich life in the movies, having graced the soundtracks of films by Woody Allen, Peter Bogdonavich and Martin Scorsese, among others. Singer-songwriter Peter Cetera brings a long list of his own classics to the second half of the evening. His work with Chicago, arguably the premier American pop group of the 1970s, produced ballads that have transcended the genre to become standards — none more so than “If You Leave Me Now,” which was released in 1976 and became the band’s first No. 1 hit. Cetera wrote and sang the song, and his unique tenor, both honeyed and intense, became the hallmark of Chicago’s sound. The Cetera touch as both singer and composer shaped many of the group’s subsequent hits, including “You’re the Inspiration,” “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” and “Hard Habit to Break.” After Cetera embarked on a solo career in 1986, his string of beautifully crafted songs continued with “Glory of Love,” a love anthem that provided the theme for the film Karate Kid, Part II. He has also taken on the role of duet partner to Madonna, Cher and others. In recent years, Cetera has been active in veteran’s issues and took part in a tribute performance with the U.S. Air Force Band on Veteran’s Day 2010.

about the artists
MeliNda doolittle Melinda Doolittle, who became a household name on season six of American Idol, has continued to thrill audiences — initially with her critically acclaimed debut album, Coming Back to You, and now with the release of her first book, Beyond Me. Doolittle truly believes that her own success and personal joy are directly proportional to her investment in encouraging and nurturing others. This theme is at the heart of Beyond Me, where she shares poignant, often humorous stories, revealing life lessons and giving practical guidance for overcoming personal obstacles. Coming Back to You garnered rave reviews from critics, including The New York Times, which hailed Melinda as one of the most “phenomenally gifted” vocalists in years. The album is a torchpassing musical revelation worthy of R&B immortals Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner, with Doolittle emerging as our most authentic new ambassador of R&B. Raised in St. Louis, Mo., and Tulsa, Okla., Doolittle studied music at Nashville’s Belmont University. She would eventually perfect her craft as a backup singer for stars such as Michael McDonald and Aaron Neville. Since her time on Idol and her transition into the spotlight, she has wowed audiences everywhere, from the White House to the Musicians Hall of Fame, from the Kennedy Center to The Today Show. Only her spirit outshines her musical accomplishments, as she dedicates much of her time to working with numerous charities, especially those that center on improving the lives of children, including Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt, Ronald McDonald House and The League, which promotes involvement in community service among children. She also works extensively with Malaria No More and has traveled to Africa twice, once as a presidential delegate and once with former First Lady Laura Bush, helping to bring awareness to this preventable disease, which takes the lives of more than 1 million children under the age of 5 every year.

Poe began her musical studies at the American Conservatory of Music. She earned her B.S. in vocal performance from Tennessee State University and her M.Mus. in vocal performance from Austin Peay State University. She also studied at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey. Poe currently holds the position of director of the Tennessee State University Choir and music production manager, artistic director and founder of the TSU Showstoppers at Tennessee State University’s Department of Music. The Tennessee State University Choir was invited by the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors to participate in a tribute to Oprah Winfrey. In 1991, Poe was voted one of Nashville 100 Distinguished Women. In 2000, she was the recipient of the Tennessee State University President’s Distinguished Public Service Award. She has concertized and performed extensively in the United States and the Bahamas. Her relationship with the Nashville Symphony goes back nearly three decades. In 1982, she performed the role of Maria in the concert version of Porgy and Bess with the orchestra. She has held the position of director of the Celebration Chorus for the Symphony’s Let Freedom Sing! concerts since 1995. She sits on the Tennessee Arts Academy Board of Directors and holds membership in the American Choral Directors Association, the National Association of Teachers of Singing, the National Association of Negro Musicians (life and board member), Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and the Links Inc.

Formed and managed by local recording and solo artist Odessa Settles, the Chorus consists of singers from dozens of area colleges, universities, places of worship and choruses, and from diverse ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. The diversity within the ensemble displays the ecumenism advocated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for “all of God’s children — black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants — …to stand and sing” together.

JeaN SiBeliuS Born on December 8, 1865, in Hämeenlinna, Finland; died on September 20, 1957, in Järvenpää, Finland Finlandia, Op. 26 Jean Sibelius composed Finlandia in 1899 and revised the score in 1900. The powerful, direct emotional appeal of this music, an expression of Finnish patriotism, became the international calling card for the young Sibelius.
JeaN sibeliUs
First performance: November 4, 1899, in Helsinki, with the composer conducting First Nashville Symphony performance: April 16 & 17, 1999, at Tennessee Performing Arts Center with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn estimated length: 9 minutes recommended listening: Paavo Berglund leads the Philharmonia Orchestra of London in a rousing account on disc that also includes Lemminkäinen’s Return. A collection of the complete tone poems of Sibelius is available as a splendid five-disc set with conductors Osmo Vänskä and Neeme Järvi (part of the complete Sibelius Edition on Bis). Jean Sibelius’s first large-scale works for orchestra, written in the 1890s, mined the rich lore of the Kalevala, an epic compilation of ancient Finnish myths. Compositions such as Kullervo, his choral symphony from 1892, and the Four Legends from the Kalevala, the last of which is included on tonight’s program, helped identify the young composer as one of the leading lights among the Karelianists. This was a circle of artists that formed toward the end of the 19th century to celebrate Finland’s indigenous cultural heritage. As their name suggests, the Karelianists were closely associated with the Karelia region on the eastern Finnish coast. A place of breathtaking, diverse natural beauty, this is where the oral tradition of the Kalevala continued to be passed on, and where Sibelius traveled to study its folk song and bardic traditions. Although Sibelius himself grew up speaking Swedish, his music evoked Finnish nature and the timeless mythic world of the Kalevala, and thus was associated with sentiments of national self-determination in the face of Finland’s subjugation to the Russian empire. Finlandia made this association even more explicit. It originated as one of a group of six pieces written for a benefit on behalf of journalists. The event was understood as a gesture to support freedom of the press against the Russian overlords. Each of the six pieces focused on epochal moments in Finnish history. Sibelius decided to excerpt one of these, originally titled Finland Awakes, for concert performance. He later revised it and changed the title to Finlandia, and it quickly became the musical standard-bearer of Finnish patriotic pride.
What to listen for Finlandia begins with chords that growl out from the brass, reinforced by ominous thundering from the timpani. A grimly determined hymn is then passed among the different instrumental groups — but all this is merely an introduction to a fiery, optimistic outburst that in turn segues into the patriotic hymn proper. According to Sibelius, its folklike simplicity results not from actual quotation, but from invention. The optimistic music returns and merges into a grand apotheosis of the hymn. The emotional directness of the music makes it easy to overlook

the art of Sibelius’s skillful and effective orchestration. Finlandia still has a stirring effect, no matter what your nationality. Finlandia is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and strings. JeaN SiBeliuS Lemminkäinen’s Return, from Four Legends from the Kalevala, Op. 22, No. 4 Sibelius composed the Four Legends from the Kalevala between 1895 and 1896, revising different movements of this four-part orchestral suite at different stages throughout his life. He published the final version of Lemminkäinen’s Return in 1900. These pieces display the remarkable ear for orchestral sonority and color that would enable Sibelius to develop into one of the most original and engaging symphonists of the 20th century. First performance: April 13, 1896, in Helsinki, with Sibelius conducting the earliest version of all of the Four Legends First Nashville Symphony performance: This is the orchestra’s first performance. estimated length: 8 minutes recommended listening: Along with the recordings recommended above, Eugene Ormandy’s account of all four of the Legends with the Philadelphia Orchestra (EMI) is, well, legendary. After the young Sibelius experienced his first triumphs as a composer in the 1890s, opera loomed as the logical next step. He found his material in the Kalevala, the collection of ancient Finnish epic myths the composer had already mined in his symphony-cantata Kullervo. Under the sway of Wagner, Sibelius contemplated a large-scale mythic opera about the deeds a magician figure undertakes to win the love of the elusive daughter of the moon. The Wagnerian spell soon dissolved and Sibelius abandoned the opera. In the autumn of 1895, he turned his attention to the purely orchestral idiom of the symphonic poem. The Kalevala remained his source of inspiration, but Sibelius now decided to string together a series of orchestral tapestries in a suite of four movements, each based loosely on episodes involving the seductive daredevil Lemminkäinen. Known by the epithet “handsome man with a far-roving mind,” Lemminkäinen suggests a mixture of a Finnish Don Juan, to whom the composer himself compared the hero, and the reckless Siegfried. The four episodes Sibelius selected for the orchestral panels of his suite involve the following: Lemminkäinen’s seduction of a group of maidens; the hero’s journey to the Finnish underworld, Tuonela, on a quest to shoot its iconic swan to win his beloved; a haunting tone portrait of Tuonela itself (the best-known of the Four Legends, The Swan of Tuonela); and Lemminkäinen’s homeward journey after years of battle. The Four Legends can be seen as interrelated movements of a quasi-symphony, but Sibelius himself singled out The Swan of Tuonela and Lemminkäinen’s Return for separate publication in 1900. He withheld the other two movements, and they were thought to be lost until they resurfaced in a performance of the entire suite in 1935, the centenary of the first modern publication of the Kalevala. Sibelius didn’t publish the other two Legends until 1954.

What to listen for At the start, Sibelius uses repeated figurations to whip up an impression of driving momentum. The dynamic nature of this legend makes for a splendid contrast with the melancholy stasis of The Swan of Tuonela. After a C-minor outburst, a compact three-note motif entrusted to the bassoon proves to be the seed for the principal subject of this rondo-finale. The motif, incidentally, recalls a gesture from the episode of Lemminkäinen’s fatal visit to Tuonela. There is no single recurrent leitmotif for the hero, but Sibelius uses numerous cross-references to material from the other Legends to imply aspects of Lemminkäinen’s character. This episode unfolds as a rondo-finale. Sibelius contrasts one instrumental choir with another while the strings play dizzying figures, generating a tremendous sense of energy. The music makes several tonal detours before it lands triumphantly in E-flat major, which happens to be the key from which the Four Legends had set out. The homecoming thus occurs on several levels as Lemminkäinen makes his return. Lemminkäinen’s Return is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, bass drum, glockenspiel and strings. JeaN SiBeliuS Concerto for Violin in D minor, Op. 47 Sibelius composed the Violin Concerto between 1902 and 1904. After its premiere, he made substantial revisions in 1905 before introducing the Concerto in its final form. The Violin Concerto, Sibelius’s only work in this genre, achieves a remarkable balance between virtuosity and substance, solo fireworks and symphonic coherence. First performance: February 8, 1904, in Helsinki, with Sibelius conducting the Helsinki Philharmonic and Victor nováček as soloist; the revised, final version premiered on October 19, 1905, in Berlin, with Richard Strauss conducting and Karl Halir as soloist. First Nashville Symphony performance: February 17, 1953, at War Memorial auditorium with Music Director Guy Taylor and soloist Tossy Spivakovsky estimated length: 35 minutes recommended listening: Deutsche Grammopon couples Sibelius’s Violin Concerto with another 20th-century masterpiece, the Schoenberg Violin Concerto, with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the wonderful violinist Hilary Hahn and the Swedish Radio Symphony. Violin fanatics will also want the legendary recording by Ginette Neveu, with Walter Susskind conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra (EMI). Sibelius made only one contribution to the concerto genre, but his Violin Concerto ranks among the most musically satisfying examples in the repertory. When Sibelius first unveiled the work in 1904, however, its future reputation was anything but assured. The virtuoso side of the equation suffered at that first performance in 1904. The German violinist Willy Burmester — a student of Joseph Joachim, one of the master violinists of the 19th century — had originally encouraged Sibelius to write the piece, offering to introduce it. Burmester was deeply impressed by what Sibelius produced and naturally would have made a powerful advocate. Owing to the composer’s erratic scheduling of the premiere in Helsinki, however, Burmester was unable to take part. A provincial soloist took the lead role, and a

fiasco ensued. Burmester, nevertheless, remained eager to premiere the revised version, but, with almost self-destructive perversity, Sibelius gave the assignment once more to another violinist. Burmester, who was understandably insulted, swore off performing the Concerto thereafter. Sibelius, meanwhile, had tightened the score and trimmed away some excessively showy writing. But even in its revised form, the Concerto remains formidably challenging to bring off. Several decades passed before it became more widely recognized, thanks to the advocacy of such artists as Jascha Heifetz and Ginette Neveu. Another possible reason why the Concerto took time to establish itself is simply that Sibelius’s early successes — above all, with Finlandia — so closely identified him as the voice of an emerging Finnish national style. The composer himself had grown weary of his music being treated merely as an evocation of Finnish folklore or a call to arms in the struggle for national liberation, and the Violin Concerto marks a turning point in his career. Even while still writing within the rhetoric of late Romanticism, Sibelius was becoming more clearly preoccupied with abstract processes of musical transformation. His following symphony, the Third, would indeed veer toward a neoClassical direction. But even with the backdrop of late-Romantic rhetoric apparent in the Violin Concerto, Sibelius had moved away from easily identifiable references to Finnish mythology. (Even so, there has never been a shortage of commentary that tries to discover extra-musical elements of northern landscape and local color in the Concerto, from polar bears to the aurora borealis.) On another level, the Violin Concerto is a work of fantasy and farewell. Sibelius himself, from his adolescence until his early 20s, had hoped to become a violin virtuoso, but a failed audition forced him to abandon that dream. The impressively varied personality he gives to the instrument here seems to sublimate some of that ambition, as if Sibelius were imagining a super-violinist alter ego. The first movement in particular, which is longer than the other two combined, shows a tendency for deeply felt,
dramatic writing for the soloist that is set in relief against the orchestral ensemble. In place of the kind of animated conversation or heroic grandstanding that we often find in concertos, Sibelius’s musical thought unfolds in a much more symphonic way. We find a continual development of motivic ideas. While the overall structure follows the conventional concerto format — a grand opening movement, a slow, lyrical middle, and an energetic, earthy finale — Sibelius revitalizes the form through the musical substance of his material.
What to listen for In one of the most memorable openings of the concerto repertory, the orchestral violins tremble in soft, muted clouds of D minor. Against them the soloist comes into focus, elaborating the opening theme. Pay close attention to its first three notes, from which much of the movement germinates. Already the violin is determined to follow its own path, and it soon launches a smallish cadenza. The orchestra presses on with a second theme whose brooding emotions the soloist voluptuously intensifies. A briefer third theme yields to the instrument’s enormous cadenza, positioned in lieu of a traditional development. Sibelius uses this and the recapitulation into which it spins to give us new perspectives on the earlier material. The coda adds a thrilling sense of urgency to the movement’s fatalism. The Adagio’s intimacy is especially moving and offers an effective contrast to the expansiveness of the first movement. Sibelius writes for different areas of the violin’s register with exquisite results. Tension intrudes in the middle, only to heighten the serenity of the opening melody, which is reprised with intricate ornamentation. The finale, mingling aspects of rondo and sonata, pulses with aggressive and exciting rhythmic patterns — one of the features that has tempted commentators to conjure extramusical images for this work. The solo writing in the finale contains the Concerto’s most outrageous technical demands, but the virtuosity adds to the zestful J anuary

development of the musical material. Here we encounter an immensely satisfying rapprochement between Sibelius’s personalities as composer and as violinist manqué. The Concerto has given life to the fantasies of his inner violinist. In addition to solo violin, the Violin Concerto is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani and strings. carl auGuSt NielSeN Born on June 9, 1865, in Sortelung on the Danish island of Funen; died on October 3, 1931, in Copenhagen Symphony No. 4, Op. 29 (“The Inextinguishable”) Nielsen composed his Symphony No. 4 between 1914 and 1916. Written during the early years of World War I, the “Inextinguishable” explores the composer’s conviction that “music is life, and, like it, inextinguishable.”

First performance: February 1, 1916, in Copenhagen, with the composer conducting the Copenhagen Music Society Orchestra First Nashville Symphony performance: March 12 & 13, 1993, at Tennessee Performing Arts Center with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn. estimated length: 38 minutes recommended listening: Michael Schønwandt has recorded the complete nielsen symphonies with the Danish National Radio Orchestra. Happily, these riveting, insightful recordings have been reissued by naxos. Carl Nielsen and his fellow Scandinavian, Sibelius, were born in the same year and represent the last generation of great symphonists brought up in the twilight of Romanticism. Both composers evolved an idiosyncratic language that resists simplistic historical labeling, yet Sibelius became internationally famous much earlier than Nielsen, who was largely ignored outside his native Denmark for decades. After World War II, a Nielsen renaissance began to blossom and his symphonies were established as part of the international repertoire. Nielsen came from a working-class background and grew up on the Danish island of Funen. He learned music from playing in village bands, as well as joining in as violinist with the local amateur orchestra. The support of patrons allowed him to gain a formal musical education at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. While Nielsen wrote major works in all the main genres, he has become best known for his cycle of symphonies. These six ambitious works display the evolution of his musical thinking, from the First in 1892 to the Sixth, composed in 1924. In the Fourth Symphony especially, we find Nielsen following a path of his own. This music veers away from the high-blown, programmatic rhetoric of late Romanticism typified by the tone poems of Richard Strauss. Nielsen explores an alternate perspective on tonality in the Fourth, one that sets him apart from the more radical experiments we associate with early modernism, such as Schoenberg’s contemporary forays into atonality or Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. His musical personality is ruggedly, impressively individual. Nielsen had reached a pivotal crossroads in his personal life around the time he conceived his central idea for the Fourth Symphony. Frustrated by the circumstances of his post as second conductor

at Copenhagen’s Royal Theatre, he resigned that position. At the same time, a marital crisis was brewing with his wife, Anne Marie Brodersen, a professional sculptor. In spite of these troubles, Nielsen’s creative imagination flourished, and he became preoccupied with expressing his vision of the very essence of music. “I have an idea for a new work,” he wrote his wife in May 1914, “which has no program, but which is to express what we understand by Life Urge or Life Expression — that is, everything that moves, that has the will to life, that cannot be called either bad or good, high or low, large or small, but simply…‘That which has the will to life’…just life in motion, though different, very different, but connected and as if constantly flowing, in one great movement in one flow. I must have a word or a short title to express this; that will be enough.” That word turned out to be “Inextinguishable.” Nielsen sought a form that would capture his idea that music, of all the arts, is best suited to express this fundamental “Life Urge.” Nielsen adamantly stressed that he did not intend a Romantic imitation of nature through music — of the kind typically associated with a program — but “a signpost into music’s own domain.” In a program note for the Fourth Symphony’s premiere, the composer further elaborated his use of the abstract title “The Inextinguishable,” which refers not to this specific work but to the indestructible character of the life force and of music alike. Nielsen’s aim was “to suggest in a single word what only music itself has the power to express fully: the elementary will to life.” In short: “Music is Life, and, like it, inextinguishable.” In terms of its architecture, Nielsen designed the “Inextinguishable” Symphony as one overarching movement, inspired in part by the example of Liszt’s revolutionary Piano Sonata in B minor (1853). The Symphony No. 4, like the Liszt piece, contains different sections that are interlinked. At the same time, these sections also suggest the traditional progression of four movements in the multi-movement symphony. Robert Simpson, author of the most lucid study
of Nielsen’s music in English, points out that despite the existence of distinct sections, “they are interlinked, and none is in any sense selfsufficient.”
What to listen for The longest of the sections is the first, and the Symphony starts off by plunging us into the thick of the struggle. Nielsen achieves this by setting up a powerful harmonic tension, playing different key areas off each other. Orchestral textures and frictions reinforce the tension as well. Pay special attention to the prominence of the timpani, which will have a major role in the final section. This almost chaotic burst of energy subsides in a passage for flutes and cello, then yields to a new, lyrical theme of parallel thirds in clarinets, descending stepwise. The theme sounds unassuming in this initial context but generates a huge amount of variation. In a remarkably lengthy development of this opening material, Nielsen shows a Beethovenian intensity of invention. The full orchestra erupts into a glorious affirmation, but the composer prolongs the underlying sense of restlessness and striving. A mysterious linking passage — again, notice the timpani — opens onto a scene of pastoral calm for the second, intermezzo-like section, in which the sonority of woodwinds comes into the foreground. Simpson remarks that one of the challenges of conducting this music lies in gauging the tricky tempo shifts between sections so that they feel natural. Another such shift occurs in the transition to the third section (“Poco adagio quasi andante”), as the violins trace a long, meandering melody downward to their lowest register. Other strings join in tight-lipped counterpoint, punctuated by commentary from the timpani. After a delicious passage featuring solo violin comes a disturbing interruption from woodwinds, and the conflict depicted at the Symphony’s beginning emerges in a new guise, reaching a powerful climax for full orchestra. The most exciting transition happens in the preparation for the culminating Allegro section. Here, Nielsen’s concept of “constant flow” seems especially manifest. Making good on earlier J anuary

assertions, the timpani — now set up as pairs, on either side of the orchestra — take on an outright aggressive role and attempt to disrupt the flow. It’s hard not to think of the context of the war raging just as Nielsen was composing this work. But the sheer brutality of these attacks can’t derail the assured buildup to the final pages. The lyrical clarinet theme from the first section reappears, gloriously restated by the brass, with timpani now cooperating. The Symphony, meanwhile, has progressed from its tonal confusion at the beginning to end in an affirmative blaze of E major. The Symphony No. 4 is scored for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 3 oboes, 3 clarinets, 3 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 sets of timpani and strings. — Thomas May is the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator.

SymphonyBall
2010 Symphony Ball Nearly 400 guests joined co-chairs Janet Ayers and Lin Andrews for the Symphony Ball at Loews Vanderbilt Plaza Hotel on December 11, 2010. With its elegant decor and festive ambiance, the evening helped build anticipation for the Grand Re-Opening of Schermerhorn Symphony Center just a few weeks later. As guests entered the lobby, they were greeted by a detailed replica of the Schermerhorn’s classically inspired façade, with a quartet of musicians performing on a stage set up just inside the columns. The interior of the Loews ballroom could have been mistaken a room in Versailles. Walls were draped with gold chiffon, and floral arrangements of white hydrangeas, white roses, white phalaenopsis orchids, Star of David and narcissus were set upon glistening tables covered with gold leaf and white velvet damask. The cream and gold harlequin dance floor was a hand-painted work of art. After guests dined on a three-course meal prepared by Loews Executive Chef Elaine Taubin, music industry veteran and longtime Symphony supporter Billy Ray Hearn presented Marty Stewart with the Harmony Award in honor of the multitalented singer’s enduring commitment to Nashville’s musical legacy. Symphony President & CEO Alan Valentine presented the special Gold Baton Award to Mayor Karl Dean for his instrumental work creating the Music Business Council and for playing a vital role in helping all kinds of music to flourish in Nashville. After the awards presentation, guests danced to the swinging sounds of the Craig Duncan Orchestra. Now in its 26th year, the Symphony Ball is one of the Nashville Symphony’s two annual fundraisers. Each year, the ball raises $500,000 for the Symphony and its commitment to artistic excellence and music education; since its inception in 1985, it has raised a total of more than $6.5 million.

Help the Nashville Symphony plan for the Future When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support. You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family. Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists. To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please contact Holly Noble, Special Campaigns Coordinator, at 615.687.6529 or hnoble@nashvillesymphony.org.
