It didn’t take long after the opening of our Pharmaceutical Sciences Research Center for its impact to be felt across the community and even further. Yes, it was a milestone as a significant teaching facility, but even more important was that it represented our continued move in recent years into the research arena. In fact, the College of Pharmacy just received the university’s first National Institutes of Health grant for research over the next five years which could impact breast cancer treatment.

Impressive recognition for a university of our size. But not surprising, given our commitment to creating far-reaching science and health sciences programs with a mission to benefit others. From our highly ranked pharmacy and nursing schools to a new master’s in pharmacy informatics and a developing physician’s assistance program, we’re strengthening our longtime reputation for graduating students who academically and spiritually have what it takes to make a difference.

As you UHï HFW EDFN RQ D KDOI FHQWXU\ ZLWK WKH RUFKHVWUD ZKDW VWDQGV RXW WKH PRVW" It’s been a remarkable experience. The orchestra has been my conservatory for a long time: I have grown as the orchestra has grown, and as the demands have increased, I’ve grown to meet them. Some of the major milestones of the orchestra are what stand out the most. Moving out of War Memorial Auditorium into TPAC was certainly momentous for us. Going through the strife of the 1980s was a hardening experience. I chose to take off the abbreviated 1988/89 concert season and earn a Master of Music degree from Northwestern University, academically validating a 20-year career. That was one of the best experiences of my musical life.

Getting the opportunity to play a concerto with the orchestra was also a peak moment for me — that was in 1996, when I was hosting a major international convention for the Percussive Arts Society. I played a SLHFH WKDW ZDV FRPPLVVLRQHG VSHFLÎ FDOO\ IRU PH IRU that event, written by my good friend Dan Sturm of St. Paul, Minnesota.

What’s the most unusual thing that’s ever KDSSHQHG WR \RX RU QHDU \RX RQVWDJH" In the opening weeks of TPAC, in 1980, a lens from the overhead lighting equipment came crashing down near one of the musicians while we were onstage. That was an interesting occurrence. :KDW DUH \RX UHDGLQJ ULJKW QRZ" I’m an avid reader. Right now on my Kindle, I have Clive James’ Cultural Amnesia, which is about writers DQG KLVWRULFDO Î JXUHV ZKR KDYH EHHQ SUHWW\ PXFK forgotten. I read two newspapers seven days a week — The Tennessean and The New York Times — and I read a number of magazines.

Elevating education to a fine art.

It should come as no surprise that a school known for its academics is equally recognized for its fine art programs. Whether art, chorus, band, drama or theater, students are able to discover and pursue their own creative talents in new and exciting ways. As part of Lipscomb University, they are also able to do it on a much larger stage with access to first-class art studios, a variety of performance venues and collegiate-level instructional experiences.

Our choruses continue to receive high honors and top state rankings, outstanding musicals are performed year-round and, most recently, our band received superior ratings and was asked to perform at the state concert festival held at Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music.

Come by the campus for a tour, meet a few of our faculty or attend an upcoming information session. See just how we elevate our students to reach their potential...and beyond.

uch as Mozart would do with his piano concertos, Joseph Haydn took evident pleasure in the special bond he forged with his audience via the symphony. The audience in this case refers to Haydn’s enthusiastic London fans toward the end of his long career. For decades Haydn had patiently written for the house orchestra of a very wealthy, music-loving aristocrat whose remote estate was lonely but peaceful. In his state of isolation from the big city, “there was no one near to confuse me, so I was forced to become original,” as Haydn later put it.

That originality paid off, and eventually this man from humble peasant origins won the attention of music lovers across Europe and acquired his own independent wealth. Haydn also developed a friendship with Mozart (his junior by a generation), which had a lasting impact on the music of each composer. In 1791, Haydn set out on the first of two major residencies in London that enhanced his fame and gave a healthy

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R You might even compare Haydn’s symphonic achievements to a series of masterpiece paintings all on the same subject — say, an array of Renaissance treatments of the Annunciation.

These mature works share many of the same features, and the London audiences would have anticipated the same patterns and architectural landmarks as each one unfolded. Much of the pleasure comes from hearing how Haydn creates variety, endowing each with a character of its own.

For instance, almost all the London symphonies begin with a slow introduction before starting off the “main business” of the fast first movement. A typical strategy would be to InConcert

boost to his bank account. The main artistic outcome of the London journeys was a dozen new symphonies composed for audiences in the cosmopolitan capital where the German-born Handel had spent the bulk of his career earlier in the century.

The official numbering of Haydn’s so-called “London symphonies” (encompassing Nos. 93 to 104, Haydn’s last symphony) is chronologically incorrect: No. 96 in D major was in fact the first he wrote in London and was very likely introduced during his first concert there in March 1791. It would have been performed in a hall known as the Hanover Square Rooms (no longer extant), the city’s main concert venue at the time, which could accommodate some 800 patrons.

It would certainly have been a miracle if no one had been injured after one of the impressive chandeliers came crashing down just after the performance. That’s the story behind the nickname of “The Miracle,” which has become attached to this work. Indeed something like this did happen: a chandelier fell, but the audience was out of harm’s way, as they had rushed to the front of the room to pay respects to the musicians.

But that event occurred in another venue, and during the composer’s second trip to London — at a performance of his Symphony No 102.

Somewhere along the line, the lore got mixed up and No. 96 became eternally branded with this moniker. But each of Haydn’s grand London symphonies is a creative miracle in its own way, replete with fresh solutions to the challenges of constructing a large-scale, abstract piece of music.

begin in the minor for a major-key symphony, setting up a dramatic tension that finds release with the arrival of the first theme. Here, though, Haydn launches with a bold statement in D major — his most frequently used key across his catalogue of symphonies — but veers into the minor for the rest of the introduction, which includes a poignant oboe solo that bridges into the Allegro. (Beethoven may have borrowed this idea for the first movement of his Fifth Symphony, where an oboe solo serves as a pivotal transitional passage.) The theme itself is signature Haydn, comprising rhythmic markers and easily detachable components sufficient to fuel the entire movement. (Again, Beethoven’s Fifth comes to mind.)

In the Andante, Haydn pays homage to an earlier musical style that some old-timers in his audience may have recalled from their

RIC H A R D ST R A U SS

youth: a chamber style featuring delectable solo contributions from the woodwinds and even a cadenza near the end for a pair of solo violins. The solo spotlight continues in quite another context in the third movement — for the oboe, playing pastoral music of lyrical innocence as a foil to the extroverted city dance of the surrounding Minuet.

Another example of Haydn’s irrepressible invention: the insouciant main theme of the finale starts off with the same descending pattern we had heard at the very start in the introduction (where it had much more gravitas). But in this new, cheerful incarnation, it’s the engine for a cheerful rounding-off of Haydn’s first new London adventure.

The Symphony No. 96 is scored for pairs of flutes, oboes, bassoons, horns, and trumpets, timpani and strings.

ichard Strauss initially became famous for the astonishing, evocative power of his tone poems — for his ability to tell stories in sound. Yet his early, concerto-like Burlesque is a self-contained instrumental piece with no story attached.

Like Mozart, whom he idolized, Strauss grew up under the influence of a powerful father figure, Franz Strauss. A highly sought-after musician and the principal horn player of Munich’s Court Orchestra for nearly half a century, Franz encouraged the efforts of his son, who had been composing since childhood.

The famous but temperamental conductor Hans von Bülow initially expressed skepticism, but little Richard’s Serenade for 13 Wind Instruments (a product of his teenage years) won Bülow over.

The conductor proclaimed Strauss a worthy heir to Brahms and helped to launch the young composer’s career when he invited Strauss to serve as his assistant conductor with the Meiningen Orchestra in central Germany. Bülow had shaped the orchestra into one of the most enviable ensembles in Europe. (Indeed, shortly after Strauss arrived to take up his assignment, Brahms showed up to rehearse the orchestra for the world premiere of his new Symphony No. 4.) Despite being a greenhorn at the podium, Strauss would develop into one of the finest conductors of the era.

Bülow was also a virtuoso pianist — he gave the world premiere of Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto in Boston in 1875. Burleske began as a way for the disciple to offer some token of

significant role to the timpani. But the mood soon established is teasingly capricious rather than cosmic. The rhythmic pattern of the opening bars turns out to contain the central motto of Burleske, which Strauss goes on to develop in ingenious ways. The piano scampers in impishly chromatic cascades but then turns reflective as it caresses a three-note motif.

Strauss’ orchestration is rich and colorful, but he also gives the piano plenty of time to deliver a monologue, making Burleske in essence a singlemovement concerto. The soloist has a changeable personality, morphing from merry prankster to rhapsodic lover. Strauss wrote Burleske while still under the spell of Brahms, so the echoes of that master’s piano concertos — most evident in the high rhetoric at the climax of the piece — are a kind of affectionate parody. Burleske’s final gestures — a duel to the death between the piano and timpani — meanwhile offer a dose of deliciously engaging wit.

gratitude, in the form of a scherzo for solo piano and orchestra. But Bßlow became irritated by the exorbitant technical demands of the piece, which included chordal spans that were unflattering to his small hands. He denounced it as too bombastic and Lisztian, refusing to invest time in learning it. Burleske required a virtuosity beyond Strauss’ own capacity as a pianist, so the score languished in his desk.

Meanwhile, the pianist Eugen d’Albert, a former pupil of Liszt, learned about the neglected piece and offered to perform it. Strauss revised his score and retitled it Burleske — German for a parody or farce (earlier, the title had simply been “Scherzo in D minorâ€?). He programmed the premiere on the same concert that introduced his tone poem Death and Transfiguration. Strauss internalized some of BĂźlow’s skepticism about the piece and waited several years to publish it; even so, he liked Burleske enough to include it on the last concert he conducted (57 years later).

was living the life of a freelance artist in Vienna during the last 10 years of his foreshortened career. Unlike Haydn, he made himself into one of the go-to keyboard performers in “the land of the clavier,” as he once termed Vienna. His piano concertos became central events in the concerts he put on to raise money, and they showed off his skills as performer and composer.

The Concerto K. 449, though, represents an exception to this rule in that it was one of two concertos Mozart wrote for his gifted pupil Barbara (“Babette”) Ployer. The composer described this score as “a concerto in an entirely different style and written more for a small than a large orchestra.” There are no flutes or clarinets, let alone trumpets or timpani.

WHAT TO LISTE N F OR This music abounds with a dramatic energy that belies its actual dimensions of orchestration and length. Within the first minutes Mozart introduces a parade of at least five different themes. These mercurial changes of temperament set the tone for what is to follow as the soloist enters and engages with the ensemble — at times completing its phrases as tenderly as a lover, at others stealing the limelight. Mozart isolates the seemingly casual trilling gesture of the very opening theme as an item ripe for the

CL A U D E D E B U SSY

development section — a perfect example of his fertile imagination.

The Andantino, an oasis of serene song, lays a bed of gentle but subtle harmonies. There’s a prefigurement, too, of that tinge of melancholy Mozart would develop two years later in The Marriage of Figaro. The scholar Arthur Hutchings compares this movement to “the calm after tears have been shed.”

For his finale, Mozart turns to the brisk liveliness of the rondo — an easy-to-follow, dance-like form in which the main tune continually returns, contrasted by intervening episodes of a different character. But he also incorporates his newfound fascination for the more complex layering of counterpoint, which he had recently come to know through his study of the Baroque masters.

The striding, staccato theme of the rondo starts with a kind of musical push. Following its delightful variants, Mozart gives us yet another invention in the final cadenza and coda, as the soloist reconfigures the theme into a lilting 6/8 meter and persuades the orchestra to take up this novel perspective.

In addition to solo piano, Piano Concerto No. 14 is scored for pairs of oboes and horns as well as strings.

Debussy’s complex understanding of the relationship among nature, memory and the creative imagination led him to reject conventional musical forms and procedures.

Formally, La Mer occupies a unique position in Debussy’s oeuvre. Like several of his most significant works, it is organized as a triptych, but these three parts cohere, conceptually and through thematic cross-referencing, in a way that makes each interdependent on the others. (By contrast, it’s not unusual to encounter just one panel from Debussy’s three orchestral Images on a concert program.)

At the same time, these “three symphonic sketches” don’t conform to an overarching symphonic design, and they are not reducible to programmatic episodes. La Mer exists in a mysterious zone between musical abstraction and mimesis. The score exerts much of its effect

La Mer is scored for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, glockenspiel, 2 harps and strings.

through the power of suggestion.

In his book Debussy: The Quiet Revolutionary, Victor Lederer writes that Debussy’s “astounding ventures into the musical expression of perception” anticipate techniques that would later emerge in cinema — montage, close-up and the like. It’s fitting, then, that La Mer has also left a deep impression on film composers. The first sketch, “From Dawn to Noon on the Sea,” shows how Debussy uses register, timbre and dynamics (quiet, ambiguous sounds from the depths) to hint at the primordial spectacle of the day emerging over the sea’s vastness. The majesty of this music is bound up with the sense of continual flux conveyed by his kaleidoscopic sonorities, leading inexorably to the climactic burst of high noon.

The exquisite orchestral arabesques of the middle sketch, “Play of the Waves,” flicker and dance to a subtly pervasive waltz-like meter, lightening the mood before the portrayal of the sea’s elemental, numinous power in the final sketch, “Dialogue of the Wind and the Sea.” Here the music swells and surges with ferocity. A seductive melody floats in and out of focus, like a hallucination, before succumbing to the rush of exhilarating fury unleashed at the end by the full ensemble.

iconic among his fellow Parisians. Debussy chose a section from this print to illustrate the first edition of the score of La Mer. Hokusai’s stylized depiction of the sea’s immensity, together with his animated use of detail, provides a key to Debussy’s richly suggestive method of painting with the tones and timbres of his large orchestra.

In fact, Debussy repeatedly encountered significant artistic stimuli through sources that were indirect or at some remove from the ostensible inspiration for his music — in this case, the sea. It wasn’t so much a particular seascape as the memories unlocked and awakened by thoughts of the sea that guided Debussy’s imagination during the lengthy gestation of La Mer between 1903 and 1905.

Despite the composer’s statement that he was “destined for a sailor’s life” and turned to a life of music only “by chance,” Debussy grew impatient with colleagues who took a literalist approach to this music, their interest limited to deciphering its “picturesque” qualities. Far more on target, as far as Debussy was concerned, was the judgment of his biographer Louis Laloy, who lauded La Mer as a work of “full-blown maturity” revealing “an impressionism of the emotions, translated into harmonies unique to the world.”

Ax captured public attention in 1974, when he won the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv.

In 1975 he won the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists, followed four years later by the coveted Avery Fisher Prize.

Ax has two major projects planned for the second half of the 2014/15 season, the first being his two-week “Celebrate the Pianoâ€? festival with the Toronto Symphony, which will present multiple pianists, including Ax himself, exploring the many facets of the piano. The second will be a European tour with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Yannick NĂŠzet-SĂŠguin beginning with a joint appearance in Carnegie Hall. Throughout the season, he will return to the orchestras of New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Washington, Atlanta, St. Louis, Montreal and Ottawa. Recitals will take him to Vancouver, San Francisco and the Midwest. In

Europe he will return to the Berlin Philharmonic followed by a tour to Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and London. Other European orchestras this season include the London Symphony, Czech Philharmonic, Tonhalle Zurich and the National Orchestras of Toulouse and Lyon.

Ax has been a Sony Classical exclusive recording artist since 1987; his recent releases include Mendelssohn Trios with Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman, Strauss’s Enoch Arden narrated

by Patrick Stewart, and discs of two-piano music by Brahms and Rachmaninoff with Yefim Bronfman. Ax has received GRAMMYŽ Awards for the second and third volumes of his cycle of Haydn’s piano sonatas. He has also made a series of GRAMMYŽ-winning recordings with cellist Yo-Yo Ma of the Beethoven and Brahms sonatas for cello and piano.

Ax resides in New York City with his wife, pianist Yoko Nozaki. They have two children together, Joseph and Sarah. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and holds honorary doctorates of music from Yale and Columbia Universities.

He has been hailed by The Times of London as “a master icon maker” with a “maverick imagination, fearless structural sense and meticulous ear.”

Daugherty first came to international attention when the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Zinman, performed his Metropolis Symphony at Carnegie Hall in 1994.

Daugherty is the son of a dance-band drummer and the oldest of five brothers, all professional musicians.

American Gothic for orchestra is a contemporary musical reflection on the creative world of Iowa artist Grant Wood (1891-1942). I first became aware of Wood when I was a 10-yearold boy enrolled in art classes at the old Cedar Rapids Public Library (now the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art). Prominently displayed in the room where we learned to draw and paint was Wood’s original painting of his mother, Woman with Plant (1928). I often rode my bicycle past the artist’s studio at 5 Turner Alley, where Wood created his most famous painting, American Gothic (1930). In 2012, I returned to Cedar Rapids to revisit the small towns of Eastern Iowa. I drove along the back roads and farms where my father grew up, and where Wood found inspiration for the people and places captured in his art.

abstract musical pattern. Like the modernist geometric patterns imposed on rolling hills in Young Corn (1931) and Spring Turning (1936), the music rolls along in a continuous ascending and descending melody that moves from one instrument to the other, from the tuba to the string pizzicato. The percussion crackles like the sound of the corn growing in row after row on a hot summer day.

II. WINTER DREAMS The second movement is inspired by the bleak winter scenes of rural Iowa depicted in Wood’s black-and-white lithographs of the 1930s, such as January and February. The violins play a haunting melody in harmonics, and the cellos respond with a melancholy countermelody, evoking a cold winter wind whistling “down the valley.” The title of this movement harks back to Iowa poet Jay Sigmund (1885-1937). A close friend of Wood’s, Sigmund was instrumental in persuading him to turn his attention from France back to Iowa for artistic inspiration. In a poem entitled “Grant Wood,” Sigmund describes how “time found a new son / Dreaming on the plain.”

III. PITCHFORK The title of the third movement refers to the pitchfork gripped by the dour farmer who stands alongside his spinster daughter in American Gothic.

Many have speculated on the hidden meanings of this American masterpiece: is it a homage to the farmers of Iowa? A social satire? A political critique? A private joke? For me, this iconic painting reveals the ambiguities of American culture and Wood’s dry wit. After all, he was a founding member of the infamous Grant Wood Garlic Club in Cedar Rapids and a practical joker, like my father. For this movement, I have composed playful, toe-tapping music. A quirky melody played by the woodwinds is punctuated by spiky chords in the brass section and bluegrass riffs in the string section. Like the window in the background of the painting, this movement is a window into my musical vision of American Gothic.

American Gothic is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (3 players), harp, piano and strings.

n 1792, when Beethoven was an ambitious composer in his early 20s, he relocated to the fever-paced Habsburg capital of Vienna from distant Bonn. Mozart had died only the year before, and Haydn was in the middle of his last, glorious outburst of symphonic creativity.

Together, Mozart and Haydn transformed the symphony, which started out as an essentially lightweight composition intended for entertainment or ceremony, into something far 38

home key of C major. In doing so, he intensifies the gravitational force of the first theme of the Allegro proper, which insistently repeats the pivotal tone of C. Beethoven enhances the finetuned Classical principles of sonata form with fresh energy. To bring closure to the movement, the coda turns into an extended occasion for reaffirming the home key with even greater force.

The combined sonority of timpani and trumpet in the Andante is an unusual touch for a Classical slow movement. Alongside the conventional lyricism of this music, Beethoven accompanies it with a simple two-note pattern that recurrently fades in and out of the foreground throughout the movement.

In the last two movements, Haydn predominates as the chief influence. The third movement, labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minuet,â&#x20AC;? is in reality Beethovenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first symphonic scherzo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the most overtly original movement of the entire Symphony. The simple rising-scale pattern of the scherzo theme foreshadows the final movement, in which an ascending scale sets the main theme in motion like a spun top.

Like Brahms, Beethoven paved his way carefully into the symphonic genre, even though as a teenager in Bonn he had already tinkered with writing a symphony. The occasion he chose to premiere his First Symphony was his first major benefit concert in Vienna, on April 2, 1800 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an event in which, symbolically enough, works by Mozart and Haydn were programmed alongside those of the newcomer.

The First Symphony has been called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a fitting farewell to the 18th century,â&#x20AC;? but farewells can also imply greetings. While Beethoven assimilates the high Classical style of his predecessors, traits that he would develop into his unique symphonic language appear throughout the work.

deceptive “prelude” to the finale. At the beginning of the Symphony, he illustrated the process of composition by feeling his way through harmonic progressions. Here, Beethoven uses step-by-step elongations of the scale to demonstrate how a theme itself is put together — a theme that is set in motion with a brisk scale at the start. As he subjects this theme to new contexts, he subtly

controls and tames the finale’s high-spirited energy. The sensation of victorious resolution he achieves at the end of the work underscores his declaration of independence as a symphonist.

Symphony No. 1 is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.

MICHAEL DAUGHERTY Tales of Hemingway for Cello and Orchestra &RPSRVHG 2015 )LUVW SHUIRUPDQFH The Nashville Symphony gives the world premiere with these concerts.

ales of Hemingway evokes the turbulent life, adventures and literature of American author and journalist Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961).

His terse, direct, accessible writing style, combined with a mastery of dialogue and brilliant use of omission and repetition, made him one of the most influential and original writers of the 20th century.

His distinctive body of work was also informed by his bigger-than-life experiences.

Hemingway was surrounded by music during his youth in Oak Park, Chicago, where his mother was a prominent music teacher and he played the cello in school orchestras. His family owned a remote summer home on Walloon Lake near Petoskey, Michigan, where hunting, fishing and camping were a family ritual. As an adult, Hemingway’s passion and expertise for deep-sea fishing in the Florida Keys and Cuba, big game hunting in Africa, bullfighting in Spain and boxing were legendary.

Hemingway experienced the horrors and ironies of war as a Red Cross ambulance driver in World War I (1918) and as a journalist on the front lines of the Spanish Civil War (1937) and World War II (1944-45). In the 1920s, he was part of Gertrude Stein’s “Lost Generation” in Paris and haunted the bars and cafés with F. Scott Fitzgerald.

During his lifetime, many of his works were made into Hollywood films, and his journalism 40

A PR I L 2 0 1 5

and literature were syndicated in magazines and newspapers around the world, making Hemingway an international celebrity and a household name.

My cello concerto is divided into four movements, each of which is inspired by one of Hemingway’s short stories or novels: I. Big Two-Hearted River (Seney, Michigan, 1925) In this story, Nick Adams is an emotionally wounded and disillusioned soldier from World War I who treks to Northern Michigan for a camping-fishing trip to try to regain control of his life. I have composed serene and passionate music that evokes a leitmotif in Hemingway’s writing: his belief that one can be healed by the power of nature through exploring isolated outdoor terrains.

II. For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940, Spanish Civil War) Hemingway tells of the last three days in the life of Robert Jordan, an American teacher turned demolition expert who has joined the anti-fascist Loyalist guerrillas in Spain. Jordan accepts a suicide mission to blow up a bridge only to fall in love with Maria, a young Spanish woman of the Loyalist guerrilla camp. The cello strums and plucks, leading the martyr’s march to battle the Fascists and Jordan's eventual death. As the chimes explode at the conclusion of the movement, the epitaph of the novel rings forth: “And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

t’s an interesting fact that Igor Stravinsky wrote his two mature instrumental symphonies at a relatively late stage in his career. His other work in the genre came decades earlier, as Stravinsky’s official Opus 1 — a youthful Symphony in E-flat, composed while he was still heavily under the influence of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov. His two other “symphonic” works — Symphonies of Wind Instruments (1920) and the Symphony of Psalms (1930) — aren’t truly symphonies at all, but rather anomalous, one-of-a-kind creations.

Stravinsky’s career embraced a number of stylistic explorations, such as the brutalism and violence of his epochal 1913 ballet score The Rite of Spring, which was followed by a shift to a neo-Classical sensibility in the 1920s. In his revolutionary ballets, Stravinsky developed an aesthetic based on collage that was at a far

remove from the formal hallmarks of the Classical symphony. By virtue of their titles, both the Symphony in C, from 1940, and the Symphony in Three Movements might seem to go even further in the “Classical” direction. In fact, these works demonstrate a return the composer’s older style from his ballets — in particular, the Symphony in Three Movements, which taps into the wild energy of The Rite of Spring. Music scholar Paul Griffiths describes the work in the context of Stravinsky’s other World War II compositions as representing “another Russian period, beholden less to folksong…than to Soviet music and Tchaikovsky, to steel factories and the Mariinsky.”

But this “Russian period” took place, ironically, during the composer’s American exile. Stravinsky had set sail from France to New York within weeks of the outbreak of the war, InConcert

IV. The Sun Also Rises (1926, Pamplona, Spain) The main character in this ground-breaking novel is Jake Barnes, bitter and wounded by war, living in Paris as an unhappy expatriate journalist.

Aimless in life, he makes a journey to the festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, Spain. Along the

way, he is joined by other adrift souls of the “Lost Generation,” such as Lady Brett, a promiscuous divorcée with whom Barnes was involved before the war. For the final movement of the concerto, I have created an exciting and dramatic sound world where I imagine Jake Barnes, his entourage (and Hemingway) in Pamplona at the fiesta, watching the running of the bulls and reveling in the spectacle of the bullfights. We also hear musical illuminations of the novel’s enigmatic epigraph, “The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to the place where he arose.”

III. The Old Man and the Sea (1952, Cuba) In Hemingway’s Nobel Prize-winning novella, Santiago is a poor, old fisherman whose luck changes when he takes his small boat deep into the Gulf Stream. After an epic struggle, he catches a gigantic marlin, the largest fish of his career. As he makes the long journey home, sharks relentlessly attack his boat and devour the marlin. As a musical response, I have composed an elegy to the struggle of life and death between man and nature. The cello represents the old fisherman’s journey as he searches for the truths of man’s existence with dignity and grace.

and he and his wife Vera settled into their new Los Angeles home, above Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Taking on a larger burden of conducting assignments to finance his expensive tastes, Stravinsky worked intermittently during the last three years of the war on the Symphony in Three Movements, which was commissioned by New York Philharmonic-Symphony. Remarkably, the work fuses together material from widely disparate projects into a powerful but condensed symphonic statement. Biographer Stephen Walsh concludes that, even with its echoes of “the Scythian fury” of Rite, “it is in no sense a revisionist score.”

WHAT TO LISTE N F OR Although the notion of program music was anathema to his artistic credo, Stravinsky himself described this work as an outcome of “this our arduous time of sharp and shifting events, of despair and hope, of continual torments, of tension, and at last cessation and relief.” He nervously followed the course of the war from his L.A. outpost by pinning the front lines on maps, and the two outer movements have been read as Stravinsky’s take on the “war symphony” as practiced by his compatriot Dmitri Shostakovich.

The composer also noted the influence of war documentaries showing arrogantly marching Nazis and their defeat by advancing Allied forces.

The first movement begins in a state of turmoil, deploying the full fury of Stravinsky’s large orchestra and then bringing the solo piano’s mechanical sonority into the foreground. Savage, angular, syncopated rhythmic accents will immediately remind listeners of how much The Rite of Spring was on Stravinsky’s mind. (He had recently revised the score.)

During his time in L.A., Stravinsky contemplated several film projects, but Fantasia became the only collaboration with Hollywood that took off. Another project that was discussed but never realized was the scoring of The Song of

Bernadette, based on Franz Werfel’s novel about a teenage girl’s visions of the Virgin Mary. The score ended up being assigned to Alfred Newman, but Stravinsky was able to recycle some ideas he had sketched out for the film in the second movement of his Symphony in Three Movements. A gentle respite and counterpart to the seismic violence of the outer movements, this music brings the harp into relief and anticipates some ideas from Stravinsky’s later opera The Rake’s Progress.

A connecting interlude takes us to the third movement and a resurgence of the Rite-infused intensities of the first. Stravinsky described the piano and harp as the “principal instrumental protagonists” of this work. Each has a major role in the first and second movements, respectively; both take part in the final movement. “Only at the turning-point fugue, the Nazi queue de poisson,” the composer wrote, “are the two heard together and alone.” The Symphony suddenly reaches a note of “victory” as abrupt as it is convulsive.

The Symphony in Three Movements is scored for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 3 clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, piano, harp and strings.

“There’s something special about this place.”

From the performing arts to sports, Nashville Arts & Entertainment Magazine celebrates the thriving, creative spirit of one of the most exciting cities in the nation.

A work of art unto itself, the magazine is your ultimate source for exclusive interviews, news, and information, including a calendar of events. The perfect-bound annual glossy is a beauty, exclusively distributed in the 800 rooms at the Omni Convention Center Hotel, in addition to other select locations. Of course, you’ll want one for your coffee table, too.

The brand new edition includes a fun piece that takes you backstage at TPAC, the Nashville Symphony, the Grand Ole Opry, and Ryman Auditorium. New this year, Nashville Arts & Entertainment will honor five remarkable Nashvillians whose lives have impacted our city in countless ways. Nashville Arts & Entertainment Honors is pleased to make a donation of $1,000 to each of five different charities these honorees support in recognition of their tremendous spirit of giving and encouragement.
