Overture Many wonderful things have happened for the nashville Symphony since Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened in 2006. We have one of the finest concert halls in the world, a visionary Music Director in Giancarlo Guerrero, and an orchestra that is receiving increasing national recognition. With all of these achievements, though, comes a profound responsibility: to share the power of music and music education with everyone in our community.

For this reason, we have deepened and expanded our music education and community engagement programs over the past five years, most notably with One Note, One Neighborhood (ONON). This forwardlooking initiative provides a comprehensive array of music education resources to students in Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) by focusing on one cluster of schools at a time. As part of this effort, Nashville Symphony we are collaborating with Vice President of Education the W.O. Smith/Nashville and Community Engagement, Community School to Mitchell Korn provide after-school music instruction for students of all ages. We provide the teacher, instrument and transportation without cost to all participants, while W.O. Smith administers the program.

Following our successful first two years in MNPS’s Stratford cluster, this year we expanded ONON to the Pearl-Cohn cluster, meaning that we are able to reach twice as many students as before. To ensure that ONON is providing the best possible educational opportunities for the children we serve, we have engaged an independent evaluator, Dr. Robert Horowitz, associate director of The Center for Arts Education Research at Columbia University’s Teachers College. He recently released a study of the program’s impact, and it reveals important findings about our work.

Horowitz called the Symphony’s partnership with the W.O. Smith School “highly effective,” noting that “students received high-quality music instruction that otherwise would not have been available…. The program proved to be resilient in response to winter snow storms and the May 2010 flood, continuing to provide high-quality instruction and sustaining student participation.

This resilience, and the overall quality of the program, was evidence of the commitment and the effectiveness of each organization’s leadership and staff.”

Horowitz also noted that students developed not just musical skills, but life skills such as discipline and focus, developing “confidence in their ability to apply themselves towards longrange goals and produce results through sustained effort.” Just as significantly, many parents clearly identified the benefits of the instruction their children were receiving. As one ONON parent told Dr. Horowitz, “I love it, because it makes me feel like [my daughter] is accomplishing something. This is something that she might decide to do as she gets older. It makes me feel really proud to see where she started from to where she is now.”

It’s our belief that every child deserves access to music education, and through ONON and our other programs, we are working to fulfill that promise. We believe just as strongly in making music accessible to everyone in our community, and over the next couple of months we’ll be making that possible through our Day of Music and Regions Community Concerts. (To learn more about these events, please read the article on page 10.)

Thank you for coming to tonight’s concert. It’s through your support that we are able to provide life-changing listening and learning opportunities for people throughout Middle Tennessee. mITCHELL KORN Vice President of Education and Community Engagement Nashville Symphony

CHris FArreLL, viola

hometown: Arlington, Texas Member of the nashville Symphony since: 1999 you’re going to england this month as part of a trip sponsored by rotary Club of nashville.

What will you be doing there? It’s called the Group Study Exchange Program. I’m one of four young professionals who will be visiting various Rotary clubs in England to talk about Nashville and our jobs here. I’ll talk about being a member of the Nashville Symphony, and I’ll also perform as part of my presentation: I wrote a classical piece for myself to play, and I arranged a version of Willie Nelson’s “Crazy” for solo viola.

Why did you choose that song? It was the first song that came to my head. I heard an interview with Willie Nelson on NPR a couple of years ago, and I realized what a great song it is, so I thought I could try to do something with it. Actually, if you listen to Patsy Cline’s version of “Crazy,” it fits the viola perfectly — the viola and her voice are very close in tone, so I didn’t have to change the key or anything.

Where will you go on your trip? I’ll be traveling to seven different cities in northeastern England; the biggest is Sheffield. I’ll also be visiting with other orchestra musicians, so I’m hoping to go hear orchestras in Manchester and Birmingham.

I’m interested in finding out how their communities support the arts.

prior to this trip, what would you say was the most unusual place you’ve ever performed?

I played a concert in Maribor, Slovenia, maybe 10 years after the fall of Communism. We played in a concert hall with no air-conditioning in the middle of the summer, and the temperature onstage was something like 95 degrees. We felt like we were being roasted — there was no air movement all. The funny thing is that we were up there sweating, but the audience seemed fine because they were all used to it!

What’s your earliest musical memory?

My dad was a band director at a very small college in Texas, and he did the jazz band, so my earliest musical experiences were listening to jazz bands. My dad loved music, and he played it at home all the time. I actually wanted to play French horn, but the band program in my school started two grades later than the string program did. So my plan was to start on viola and then switch to horn two years later, but by the time I got to junior high, I didn’t want to start over with another instrument. do you perform outside of the Symphony?

I’m a member of the chamber group Alias, and occasionally I play with the Eclectic Chamber Players. I also do recording sessions: I’ve played on lots of country albums — Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Randy Travis, George Strait. I just did a session for Lionel Richie and Shania Twain.

What music do you like to listen to?

I really love jazz — Keith Jarrett, John Coltrane.

Bill Evans is one of my favorites; I listen to him more than anyone else. I also love Stevie Wonder. if you weren’t an orchestra musician, what would you be doing? Probably law, or something to do with mathematics, or science. I’ve always thought I could see myself studying physics.

About tHe progrAM When an interviewer recently asked Michael Cavanaugh to name his favorite Billy Joel tune, the pianist and singer had a ready answer. “It has to be ‘Scenes from an Italian Restaurant,’ ” he said. “As many times as I have played that song, I have never gotten tired of it.” That’s no surprise. This classic song from Joel’s 1977 album The Stranger is far more complex than a typical pop tune. It’s actually a musical drama in three acts, and it surveys the whole range of Joel’s songwriting talents as it moves from soft ballad to jazz Official Chauffeured Transportation to straight-up rock ‘n’ roll. It gives of the Nashville Symphony Cavanaugh — an accomplished musician in his own right — the chance to use his gifts to the fullest, even as he pays tribute to Joel, whom he describes as a childhood hero.

“Scenes from an Italian Restaurant” is just one of the great Joel creations Nashville audiences will enjoy at this performance.

Cavanaugh was the star of Movin’ Out, the hit Broadway musical based on Joel’s work, and his performance was dubbed “amazing” by Ben Brantley of The New York Times. The Joel songbook certainly presents a wide array of pleasures and challenges for any performer.

There’s a wealth of lighthearted pop tunes like “Uptown Girl” and “The Longest Time,” along with soft, romantic numbers such as “Just the Way You Are” and “She’s Always a Woman.” At the other end of the spectrum are Joel’s harderedged rock songs like “You May Be Right” and “Pressure.” Joel is a great crafter of the story song as well, painting unforgettable portraits in “Captain Jack” and his signature tune, “Piano Man.” A classically trained pianist, Joel made a serious foray into composition with his 2001 album Fantasies & Delusions, and Cavanaugh may treat the audience to a sample of Joel in classical mode with Invention in C Minor, which was featured in Movin’ Out. Cavanaugh, who honed his performing skills on the stage in Las Vegas, promises a lively show with some surprises, but the focus will be on Joel’s legendary hits. “It’s all about the audience,” says Cavanaugh. “I love playing songs that everybody knows and everyone can sing along to.”

About tHe Artist MiChael CavanauGh A charismatic performer, musician and actor, Michael Cavanaugh was handpicked

by Billy Joel to star in the Broadway musical Movin’ Out, in which he starred for over 1,200 performances. The production was a tremendous success, receiving both GRAMMY® and Tony award nominations.

Cavanaugh began playing at age 7, when his parents bought their first piano. Encouraged by family and friends, and inspired by the music of Billy Joel, he formed his first band at age 10. His first full-time gig as a musician was an extended engagement in Orlando, Florida, at a piano bar called Blazing Pianos. In January 1999, Cavanaugh received an offer that would change his life — an opportunity to play in Las Vegas at the famed New York–New York Hotel and Casino. It was there that Billy Joel spotted Cavanaugh and joined him onstage one night in February 2001. It only took two songs before Joel was convinced that Cavanaugh was the right young artist to don the mantle of the Piano Man. Cavanaugh closed up shop in Las Vegas and moved to New York City to work with Joel and renowned choreographer Twyla Tharp, shaping the Broadway musical that would become Movin’ Out. With the close of the production at the end of 2005, Cavanaugh began touring on his own, creating a show that reinterprets the modern pop/rock songbook. He continues to perform worldwide for company, charity events and sporting events. It wasn’t long before symphony orchestras discovered Cavanaugh’s talents and audience appeal. He accepted his first orchestral booking, a musical tribute to Billy Joel, in April 2008 with the Indianapolis Symphony. In October 2008, he signed with Warner/ADA to distribute his first CD, In Color. In June 2010, Cavanaugh debuted his second symphony show in the Generations of Rock series entitled “Michael Cavanaugh: The Songs of Elton John & More” and continues to tour both symphony productions.

avner dorMan Born on april 14, 1975, in Tel aviv, Israel; currently resides in Los angeles (not) The Shadow (not after Hans Christian Andersen) Dorman composed (not) The Shadow in 2010 on a commission through magnum Opus, a commissioning project executed by meet The Composer in collaboration with founding patron Kathryn Gould. In this piece, Dorman uses his picturesque sense of rhythm, texture and orchestral color to give musical shape to one of the darker fables of Hans Christian andersen.

First performance: The marin Symphony gave the world premiere on November 14, 2010, in San Rafael, California, with alasdair Neale conducting.

First nashville Symphony performance: With these concerts, the Nashville Symphony performs (not) The Shadow for the first time. estimated length: 15 minutes recommended listening: Four of Dorman’s concertos are available on a Naxos recording by the metropolis Ensemble, andrew Cyr conducting.

Like many other composers of his generation, Avner Dorman naturally draws on a wide amalgam of musical influences that not so long ago were considered incompatible, if not mutually exclusive. Thanks to his open-minded curiosity and an intensely musical upbringing, Dorman early on developed an individual voice compelling enough to win him Israel’s Prime Minister’s Award. (Twenty-five years old at the time, he was the youngest composer to have done so.) Having studied at Juilliard, Dorman has close ties to the United States as well as in his native country, and he already counts several high-profile international commissions in his catalogue.

Dorman turned to what he calls “one of my favorite stories” as inspiration for his new work.

His mother used to read to him Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Shadow” in Hebrew when he was a boy. He recounts Andersen’s “dark fairy Official Chauffeured Transportation tale” as follows: of the Nashville Symphony “[It] tells the tale of a learned man who sends his shadow to find out a secret on a hot summer night in a southern country.

The shadow runs away and becomes a rich and powerful man through blackmail and extortion (as he can enter homes at night and see people’s darkest secrets). Meanwhile, the learned man returns to his home in the northern lands and grows older and poorer writing books about the

true, the good and the beautiful. Many years later, the shadow appears at the learned man’s doorstep and manipulates the learned man to pose as the shadow’s shadow and help the shadow win over the heart of a princess. When the learned man refuses to go to the royal wedding as his own shadow’s shadow, the prince to be (i.e., the shadow) proclaims, ‘My shadow has gone mad; I suppose such a poor, shallow brain could not bear much; he fancies that he has become a real man, and that I am his shadow.’ And so the shadow and the princess wed, ‘but the learned man heard nothing of all these festivities, for he had already been executed.’ ” Dorman provides the following commentary on (not) The Shadow, which comprises five sections: 1. Presto — begins with lively energy and a theme of Middle Eastern character. The theme develops like a spiral, revolving around the pitch E and gradually expanding around it. The main conflict of this section is between the thematic material and an insistent repetitive element that gradually takes over the texture. The repetitive element is very simple and consists of four notes: D-C-B-A. These repeat with accents on multiples of three (4 against 3) resulting in a fractal phenomenon — where larger accented patterns of notes form variants of the original motif. Chords made up of the notes of the repetitive motif start emerging

2011

with increasing intensity, leading to a climatic iteration of the motif.

2. Andante – Largo – Andante—the second section is slow and expressive. The D-C-B-A motif continues to dominate this section, creating both melodies and running scales.

3. Con moto — the third section is of a hallucinatory or meditative nature. The notes of the repetitive motif are now stretched farther apart, and every note has a long tail (i.e., it stays in our ears and minds for a long time).

4. Più Animato —The notes of the repetitive motif are now stretched even farther and express great pain.

5. Recapitulation — the opening conflicting elements return and fight again, though they will never be the same. (not) The Shadow (not after Hans Christian Andersen) is scored for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo and alto flute), 2 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets (optional doubling on piccolo trumpet), 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, suspended cymbals, darbuka, marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, crotales, bass drum, tam-tam, triangle, glockenspiel, snare drum, tom-toms, piano, harp and strings.

Franz liSzt Born on October 22, 1811, in Raiding, Hungary; died on July 31, 1886, in Bayreuth, Germany Totentanz Liszt initially conceived of the idea for Totentanz (“Dance of the Dead”) in 1838 and composed several different versions (in 1849, 1853 and 1859) before publishing the final version in 1865. The work is a small-scale piano concerto in one movement and, like Liszt’s symphonic poems, draws inspiration from nonmusical sources.

Totentanz reflects on the medieval obsession with death through a Romantic lens.

First performance: april 15, 1865, in The Hague, with Hans von Bülow as pianist and J. Verhulst conducting.

First nashville Symphony performance: November 8 & 9, 1971, at War memorial auditorium, with music Director Thor Johnson and soloist andré Watts. estimated length: 15 minutes recommended listening: Georges Cziffra’s blockbuster account, with son György conducting the Orchestre de Paris, is available on a budget set from EmI that includes both piano concertos and the Hungarian Fantasy.

The search for extreme experience that transcends the ordinary is considered a Romantic trait, but it motivated composers of the Romantic era in many different ways. Some, like Franz Liszt, were driven to forge connections between music and the other arts in an attempt to express the human condition as fully as possible. Literary sources — Goethe, Dante and contemporary poets, for example — inspired several of his most innovative compositions, yet Liszt was also keenly sensitive to the visual arts.

Totentanz (literally “Dance of the Dead” but often rendered as “Dance of Death”) offers a fascinating example of the latter response. One important stimulus for Totentanz seems to have been Il Trinfo della Morte (“The Triumph of Death”), a large fresco from the mid-14th century (see sidebar on p. 34) that initially prompted Liszt to make sketches for a possible work for solo piano. But the plan took on a wholly different guise in later decades as the composer turned his attention to the larger canvas of the orchestra and wrote a concerto-like piece.

The persistent anti-Liszt bias, which disparages such compositions as Totentanz as little more than a vehicle for “vulgar” showmanship of his keyboard virtuosity, ignores the fact that Liszt painstakingly crafted its details over a protracted period before finally unveiling it to the public. Indeed, by that point he had long since renounced his own career as piano soloist. It was his student and son-in-law, Hans von Bülow, who performed the premiere in 1865.

Romanticism’s preoccupation with medieval representations of death often has an ironically macabre edge, such as in Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, of which Liszt made a widely admired transcription.

Berlioz’s use in the finale of the well-known Dies irae plainchant associated with the Requiem Mass, which evokes the terrifying “Day of Wrath” of the end times, may well have been part of the association of ideas that led Liszt to adopt this medieval melody as the basis for Totentanz.

What to listen for While Liszt resorts to the old-fashioned formal plan of theme and variations — an unusual example of such in his work — spine-tingling harmonies and the variety of sound painting reveal his propensity for innovation. His flair for high drama is also apparent in the tension of the very opening, as the piano’s booming chords cut across the four-square rhythm of the Dies irae theme proclaimed by low brass. The theme serves as a musical symbol akin to the skeletons in the series of woodcuts by Hans Holbein that have also been proposed as a visual inspiration behind the piece: Death as the Great Equalizer presides over a Chaucerian procession of “types” suggested by the variations, from heroic soldiers to prayerful contemplatives.

The piano periodically takes over in solo passages. A brief duet with clarinet in Variation 4 segues into a fugue introduced by the soloist, paintinG and MuSiC leading to the most extensive variation as the The Triumph of Death, which Liszt viewed orchestra expands the frenzied counterpoint. A in 1838 at the Camposanto cemetery in cadenza then opens into a subset of variations on Pisa, was badly damaged in World War II yet another theme — this one quoting an antique but remains enormously impressive in its harmonic sequence known as “La Folia” (madness) reconstruction. In Liszt’s time it was thought because of its obsessively catchy character — whose to be the work of andrea Orcagna but has relation to the Dies irae Liszt underscores. The since been attributed to his 14th-century emphatic horns here symbolize the image of death contemporaries. This depiction of death’s as a “hunter.” (Liszt also seems to have the scherzo omnipotence in a dramatic, Last Judgmentof Beethoven’s Fifth in mind.)

dMitri ShoStakoviCh Born on September 25, 1906, in Saint Petersburg, Russia; died on august 9, 1975, in moscow Concerto for Piano No. 1 in C minor, Op. 35 Shostakovich composed the first of his two piano concertos in 1933, completing the score on July 20 of that year. The Piano Concerto is an early work the composer wrote to show off his own pianistic skills, but it also includes an intriguing, prominent part for solo trumpet. Its saucy stylistic mélange was likely influenced by the techniques of intercutting Shostakovich had recently explored in compositions for film and stage.

First performance: October 15, 1933, with the composer as soloist and the Leningrad Philharmonic under Fritz Stiedry.

First nashville Symphony performance: October 2 & 3, 1998, at TPaC with music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn and soloist Yefim Bronfman. estimated length: 21 minutes recommended listening: martha argerich performs as soloist with the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana under alexander Vedernikov on EmI. When he started his musical career, Shostakovich — like his older contemporary Prokofiev (or Liszt, for that matter) — had a dual identity as a piano soloist and composer.

But his failure to win a prize at the 1927 Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw was reportedly a humiliating experience. The interest that Bruno Walter showed toward his First Symphony around this time must have helped restore the composer’s self-esteem. The Symphony, a precocious work from Shostakovich’s years as a student at Leningrad Conservatory, meanwhile opened the doors to an exciting variety of new projects.

It’s not surprising that his principal focus soon centered on composition, though he continued intermittently to give public performances at the keyboard until his final decade.

Shostakovich also acquired practical experience playing piano outside conventional concert venues, such as the movie houses where he performed as accompanist to silent films. During his early career-building years, this activity intensified Shostakovich’s interest in composing music for film and stage. Along with pieces for the new medium of cinema, he

produced a range of theater, ballet and opera scores, including the wonderfully absurdist, Gogol-inspired opera The Nose, and Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District. Shostakovich then turned his attention once again to classical piano with his set of 24 Preludes, which seems to have renewed his aspirations to perform as a concert soloist.

Immediately after completing the set in 1933, he wrote the Piano Concerto No. 1 over a period of just a few months. It represents Shostakovich’s first foray into the concerto tradition, though the issue of the soloist’s identity is not always as straightforward as might be expected. The chamber-like orchestration of string ensemble along with a solo trumpet at times gives the impression of a double concerto for piano and trumpet. And while the general tenor of the piece is relatively conservative — compared to some of the headier experimentation found in early works like the First Symphony or The Nose — the Piano Concerto playfully tweaks the sober conventions of concerto writing, offsetting its highbrow references with saucy comic posturing.

What to listen for The opening flourish foreshadows the unusual interplay between piano and trumpet that is a recurrent thread in the Concerto. The piano then spells out the main theme, a conscious echo of the beginning of Beethoven’s “Appassionata” Sonata. Between recurrences of this dour, fatalistic music comes an array of jaunty stylistic shifts, with hints of the music hall and other popular entertainments. Notice the wonderfully atmospheric effect of the trumpet’s low range when the movement comes to a subdued end. It sets the stage for one of Shostakovich’s haunting slow movements, which unfolds as a doleful, slow-motion waltz, first on strings and then joined by the soloist’s introspections. The emotional intensity builds, with the composer’s beloved Mahler appearing as a subliminal presence. Savor the remarkable variety of color Shostakovich distills from such economy, as in the surprising return of the trumpet, muted and given to a bluesy melancholy, or in the whispered pizzicatos near the movement’s close.

We’ve been led to expect the routine format of the three-movement concerto (fast-slow-fast), but Shostakovich amends this with a very brief preludial movement serving as a passage to the fast finale proper. It opens with a quasi-Baroque piano solo, while the finale further plays up the Neoclassical clarity of line that Shostakovich had learned from Prokofiev and Hindemith.

Here the stylistic mélange almost seems to prefigure postmodern attitudes: syncopated jazzy passages and quotes from popular song mix with classical rhetoric. The Concerto becomes almost drunkenly giddy during the race toward its conclusion, as the trumpet suddenly steps forward to renew its jockeying for star billing.

In addition to solo piano, the Piano Concerto is scored for trumpet and strings.

SaMuel barber Born on march 9, 1910, in West Chester, Pennsylvania; died on January 23, 1981, in New york City Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance, Op. 23a This music originated as a ballet score for martha Graham on the classical story of medea, which Barber composed in 1945-46. The ballet, dedicated to Graham, was premiered in New york in may 1946.

From this Barber later fashioned a multi-movement suite and, in 1955, the single-movement concert Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance. The violence of Medea inspired Barber to explore darker emotional territory, and the score exhibits some of his most incisive orchestral writing.

First performance: February 2, 1956, in New york, with Dimitri mitropoulos conducting the New york Philharmonic.

First nashville Symphony performance: These are the Nashville Symphony’s first performances. estimated length: 12 minutes recommended listening: marin alsop leads the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in a crackling performance paired with the Piano Concerto (Naxos). you can also hear alsop’s interpretation of the complete Medea Suite as part of Naxos’s survey of Barber’s complete orchestral works.

One takeaway from the celebrations of the Samuel Barber centenary last year was the surprising neglect of this American master’s music. While not an especially prolific composer, Barber didn’t limit himself to the brand of midcentury Romanticism with which he is usually associated. Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance in particular represents “a major stylistic leap,” according to Barbara Heyman, author of the most perceptive overall study of Barber’s work. “More focused and strident in tone” than its earlier versions, writes Hayman, the score “suggests that Barber may have been eager to break away from his image as a lyricist with appeal only for conservative audiences.”

The single-movement concert work we hear is a distillation of a ballet Barber completed for Martha Graham in 1946, a few years after she had commissioned Copland’s Appalachian Spring.

The ballet brought a modern psychological perspective to its retelling of the classical Greek myth of the sorceress Medea (danced

by Graham), whose husband Jason’s betrayal inspires her to exact a horrific vengeance. Critic and composer Virgil Thomson noted at the time that the “frank violence” of the musical response had liberated his colleague from his “well-bred attitudinizing and mincing respectabilities.”

The original ballet was scored in nine movements for a chamber ensemble. Barber later reconfigured the score as a seven-movement concert suite for full orchestra in which he intended to follow “roughly the form of a Greek tragedy” while underlining the degeneration of Medea’s love into all-consuming obsession.

Nearly a decade after the premiere of the ballet, which had gone by different titles (including Cave of the Heart, Serpent Heart and, simply, Medea), Barber pared down his focus to Medea herself in Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance. It lasts about half as long as the concert suite but takes advantage of an even larger palette of orchestral colors.

What to listen for The piece draws together several facets of Medea’s character, beginning with a suspenseful motif on xylophone against uneasy string harmonies.

The Meditation’s slow music touches on her “tender feelings towards her children,” as the composer notes. Delicate woodwind melodies and a glistening, Ravel-like theme for violin evoke the very love that will become twisted into its opposite. Euripides’s tragedy — in a passage Barber inscribes in the score — shows Medea exhorting herself to “go forward to the dreadful act.” Similarly, obsessive patterns begin to infest the slow music, which takes a menacing turn, with unexpected pauses and remembered fragments.

Barber’s remarkable orchestration makes the emotional progression chillingly palpable.

Notice the foreboding mix of the English horn’s lament against chords in piano and harp, and the snare drum’s impatient summons. A few brief climaxes punctuate the music as the tempo accelerates. The piano lays down a nervous rhythmic pattern for the dance itself, which builds like an all-consuming mania that brings to mind the “savagery” of Stravinsky’s polyrhythms. No sooner does Medea’s violent, tormenting wrath appear to subside than Barber whips the orchestra into a final frenzied outburst.

Medea’s Meditation is scored for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, 3 percussion players, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, xylophone, whip, tom-tom, triangle, tam-tam, cymbals, harp, piano and strings.

About tHe Artist CaMeron Carpenter, organ A virtuoso composer-performer unique among keyboardists, Cameron Carpenter is garnering unprecedented acclaim and controversy for his approach to the organ. His repertoire, which ranges from the complete works of J.S. Bach and César Franck to his hundreds of transcriptions of non-organ works, as well as his original compositions and collaborations with jazz and pop artists, is perhaps the largest and most diverse of any organist. He is the first organist ever nominated for a GRAMMY® Award for a solo album.

A keyboard prodigy, Carpenter performed Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier at age 11. During his four years of studies at the North Carolina School of the Arts, he transcribed for the organ more than 100 major works, including Gustav Mahler’s complete Symphony No. 5. He continued composing after moving to New York City to attend The Juilliard School, where he received a master’s degree in 2006.

Official Chauffeured Transportation The same year, Carpenter began his worldwide concert tours, debuting at venues of the Nashville Symphony including Royal Albert Hall, the Leipzig Gewandhaus and Davies Hall in San Francisco.

His first album for Telarc®, the GRAMMY®-nominated Revolutionary (2008), was followed in 2010 by the critically acclaimed DVD and CD Cameron Live! Edition Peters became his publisher in 2010, initiating the release of his original works with Aria, Op. 1 (2010). His first major work for organ and orchestra, The Scandal, Op. 3, was commissioned by the Kölner Philharmonie (KölnMusic GmbH) and premiered on New Year’s Day 2011 by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie under the direction of Alexander Shelley.

With combined millions of hits on YouTube and numerous television, radio and press features including CBS Sunday Morning, BBC Radio 3, NDR Kultur, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, Carpenter is the world’s most visible organist.

About tHe progrAM The Nashville Symphony kicks off the evening with a fun, avian-themed program, beginning with the Overture to Rossini’s La gazza ladra [The Thieving Magpie]. Composed in 1817, the opera tells the story of a servant girl sentenced to death for a theft that was actually committed by a mischievous bird. The plot was inspired by the true tale of a young woman who found herself in just that unlikely situation — and who, sadly, did not get the reprieve Rossini grants his heroine.

The Overture begins with a menacing drum roll that suggests the grimmer aspects of the story, but overall the piece is a lively caper of strings, woodwinds and piccolo. It’s a popular staple in the concert world, and instantly recognizable from its frequent use in film, television and advertising.

The Rossini is followed by a pair of selections from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition: “Ballet of Little Chicks in Their Shells” has the whimsical spirit its name implies, while “The Hut on Hen’s Legs (Baba Yaga)” has a more ominous tone that reflects its subject, a Russian folktale about a fearsome witch and her magical house.

The symphony will take a couple of strolls through American folk music with “Chicken Reel” and “Turkey in the Straw,” old-time standards that have become concert favorites through the orchestrations of Leroy Anderson and Carmen

Dragon, respectively. Between these two tributes to barnyard fowl comes Igor Stravinsky’s more exotic creation, The Firebird, a 1910 ballet based on Russian folktales. The symphony will perform two short sections extracted from the full-length work: The Berceuse, or Lullaby, is a dark, hypnotic piece that features a sinuous interplay between bassoon and oboe. This moody interlude segues to the Finale, which offers a stirring climax of horns and percussion.

Nashville’s homegrown superstar Lorrie Morgan will take the stage for the second half of the program. A throaty-voiced country chanteuse, Morgan is known for a string of hits that celebrate female independence, including the rollicking “Watch Me” and more hard-hitting songs like “Five Minutes” and “What Part of No Don’t You Understand?” She’s also a first-rate interpreter of classic tunes such as “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and “Break It to Me Gently.” A veteran performer who has been entertaining audiences since childhood, Morgan combines her musical gifts with sexy, confident stage presence. She’s sure to treat her hometown crowd to a memorable show.

— Nashville-based freelance writer Maria Browning is pops program annotator for the Nashville Symphony

About tHe Artist lorrie MorGan Lorrie Morgan was barely a teenager when she made her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, singing “Paper Roses” with her dad, country star George Morgan. When her father passed away in 1975, Morgan didn’t miss a beat in carrying on his legacy. She took to the road with her dad’s band and toured the country, keeping his memory alive and winning countless fans along the way. She made history in 1984 when, at age 25, she was the youngest person ever to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

Morgan co-wrote and co-produced the 12 songs for her latest album, I Walk Alone. The record includes several cuts, such as “Mirror, Mirror” and “Woman Thing,” which offer Morgan’s fans a rare look into a life that has been quite literally lived out onstage. Morgan has also completed an album of standards, complete with an all-star cast of musicians and guests. Recorded live in the studio with producer Wally Wilson, A Moment in Time captures the essence of her sultry vocals as she delivers timeless classics including “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “After the Official Chauffeured Transportation Fire Is Gone” (a duet with Tracy Lawrence) and “Easy Lovin’ ” (a duet with Raul Malo). of the Nashville Symphony Lorrie Morgan’s trophy room is adorned with 14 top 10 hits, 12 albums (seven of which have gone gold and platinum) and four TNN Music City News Female Vocalist of the Year awards. In addition to her new recording projects, she maintains a rigorous touring schedule and is currently at work on several new business endeavors. She’s living up to her reputation as one of country music’s premier singers, and she’ll be entertaining us all for a long time to come.

GuStav Mahler Born on July 7, 1860, in Kalischt, Bohemia; died on may 18, 1911, in Vienna Symphony No. 2 in C minor (“Resurrection”) The genesis of the Symphony No. 2 dates back to 1888, when mahler wrote his first version of the opening movement, which he titled Totenfeier (“Funeral Rites”). after an interruption of several years, he again worked on the Symphony in the summers of 1893 and 1894, completing the score on December 28, 1894. Mahler made subsequent revisions in 1903 and toward the end of his life. The transcendent vision of this music illustrates the composer’s belief in the unlimited capacity of the symphony to explore the most profound questions of life. At the same time, its brilliant orchestration and wide-ranging sound world come to terms with the symphonic tradition mahler inherited from Beethoven.

When Gustav Mahler began composing symphonies, there was a widespread feeling that just about everything had been done in the realm of orchestral writing. It seemed as if the end of an era had been reached — a situation paralleled by the field of physics, which was similarly on the verge of a new revolution of ideas. The towering achievements of Beethoven and Wagner Official Chauffeured Transportation loomed over the scene, posing of the Nashville Symphony a central challenge for any new contender: How to create something fresh and persuasive without being dismissed as a secondrate imitator?

With his Symphony No. 1 — the first version of which he completed when he was only 28, in 1888 — Mahler began to answer that challenge, revealing a breathtakingly epic scope of vision, along with the necessary self-confidence to give it tangible shape. The First ranks among the most spectacular symphonic debuts in music history.

Even before completing it, however, Mahler was planting the seeds for an even more grandiose work. The Symphony No. 2 would further expand the parameters of the genre, not only in regard to technical accomplishment, but also in terms of the symphony’s very purpose and potential.

This is music that grapples with nothing less than ultimate questions about the meaning of our existence: “What next? What is life and what is death?

Why did you live? Why did you suffer? Is it all nothing but a huge, frightful joke?” as the composer wrote in one of his reflections on the music.

And though aspects of the Second are inevitably bound up with the late-Romantic sensibility of a long-vanished era, the intensity and power of Mahler’s expressive language continue to captivate music lovers a full century after his death.

Initially, the composer began sketching out a “sequel” for the many-sided hero (and alter ego) around whom the First had centered. This was an instrumental movement, titled Totenfeier (“Funeral Rites”), which Mahler provisionally thought of as a self-standing symphonic poem depicting solemn mourning over the hero’s passing. Yet he intuited that Totenfeier posed questions that would need to be answered in the course of a long new symphony. It was prologue rather than epilogue. The final movement would have to provide a proportional counterweight, responding at last to the urgent questions posed by the funereal opening; thus it posed the greatest challenge. The problem incubated until, as Mahler later wrote, “It flashed on me like lightning, and everything be-

Eroica, while the stormy flurry echoes the ominous, stressful music at the beginning of Wagner’s second Ring opera, Die Walküre. Mahler authority David Hurwitz additionally suggests possible inspiration from a powerful passage from Verdi’s recent opera Otello. Yet Mahler renders these strands in his own distinctive language, sustaining the tension for a long stretch commensurate with the vast scale of the work that will unfold.

The essential material contains the outlines for a kind of “death and transfiguration,” with a glowing second theme (violins and horns) that rises hopefully and anticipates the “resurrection” music to come in the finale. Yet that is still a long way off, a mere distant intimation here. Mahler modifies classical sonata form into one of his characteristic funeral marches in a far-ranging development. It encompasses pastoral reflections and the dire presence of death in a subliminal reference to the Dies irae melody — the medieval plainchant reused by so many Romantic composers, as Liszt did in his Totentanz — and builds to one of the most shattering climaxes in the literature. Recapitulation, a hallmark of symphonic thinking, also seems to spell the inescapable doom of death. In its final gesture, the music plunges mercilessly downward, as if descending into the grave.

Mahler requested a lengthy pause of five minutes (seldom followed literally in performance) to demarcate the opening movement and what follows. The Andante seems less like a “contrast” than a blithe denial, a Schubertian glimpse over pleasures past, though touched with its own melancholy interludes. Mahler’s ironic grotesqueries come to the fore in the Scherzo, a purely instrumental elaboration of a song written at the same time (from Des Knaben Wunderhorn) about St. Anthony as he preaches to the uncomprehending fish. Returning to the C minor of the first movement, the music’s relentless flow is set off by powerful strokes on the timpani and carries a sardonic reminder of the frustrating Samsara, or cycle of existence. Woodwind-rich writing incorporates references to klezmer music, while the brushing of a birch branch against the bass drum adds a unique touch to this kaleidoscopic sound picture.

Near the end we hear a shocking outburst of panic,

58

InConcert

•IC-1011-MAY.indd 58

m ay

described by the composer as a “cry of despair.”

Urlicht seems as startlingly different (in contrast to what precedes) as had the Andante, but Mahler specifically asks for the final three movements to be played as an interconnected sequence, with no pauses between. Compared to the epic scale of the massive outer movements, notice how distinctive and intimate this sonic palette is, with its radiant brass chorale and the amber sound of low female voice emerging for the first time. But this first explicit reference to the promise of eternal life is also a kind of denial of the suffering that has gone before, and resolution is still far off.

An even greater catastrophe has yet to be encountered. Mahler links back to earlier music in the symphony by recalling the “cry of despair” at the start of the finale. No more can the tormenting questions that began the work be evaded.

Indeed, important thematic ideas from earlier in the score recur throughout this movement — above all, in the apocalyptic march into which it progresses. Immediately after this initial outburst come anticipations of music to be heard in the finale’s choral second part. The ascending “resurrection theme” is sounded by horns. This long introductory section mixes a sense of anxiety for the Day of Judgment with a series of fanfares, but the overall feeling is of prelude and expectation.

Mahler’s dramatic technique here anticipates aspects of cinematic structure.

A terrifying percussion crescendo signals the arrival of the apocalyptic march. Notice how Mahler introduces “spatial” music — foreshadowing the “multi-channel” experiments of Charles Ives — by using an offstage band of brass and percussion. Particular textures come into focus: the horn and then brass issuing a roll call for the assembled dead known as “The Great Summons” (a militaristic metaphor), followed by solo flute and piccolo as the deathly voice of the nightingale amid the ruins. Suspense is maximized through the use of silence. And from this, at last, emerges the chorus — not in blazing triumph, but in a tour de force of hushed, a cappella singing that suddenly gives resonance to the promises scattered earlier through the Symphony. The solo soprano floats aloft, and the resurrection theme now

deS knaben Wunderhorn The folk poetry anthology Des Knaben Wunderhorn (“The youth’s magic Horn”) provided a fertile source for mahler’s approach to song and symphony alike. This collection had been edited and published in the early days of Romanticism by the team of Clemens Brentano and achim von arnim and contained hundreds of folk poems: drinking songs, historical romances, songs of war, workings songs, religious songs, etc. mahler likely encountered Des Knaben Wunderhorn as a child but turned to it with renewed interest in 1887. For the next decade-and-a-half, he drew on the collection for numerous songs, some of which he incorporated into his Second, Third and Fourth Symphonies. The two songs that became part of the Second are the one of St. anthony Preaching to the Fishes (though without words) and Urlicht.

About tHe soLoists JaniCe Chandler-eteMe, soprano Versatility has been the hallmark of Janice Chandler-Eteme, an American lyric soprano who sings an astonishing range of literature. Her current season includes Strauss’s Four Last Songs with the Reading and Utah Symphonies; Brahms’s Requiem with the Jacksonville Symphony; Elijah with the Modesto Symphony; and Philip Glass’s Passion of Ramakrishna with the Pacific Symphony. In summer 2010, Chandler-Eteme had great success as Bess in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess with the Opera de Lyon in Lyon, Edinburgh and London, one of several recent forays into opera.

Recent seasons have included Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 with Jahja Ling and The Cleveland Orchestra, among others. She also performed Haydn’s Die Schöpfung with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony, Gilbert Levine and the Pittsburgh Symphony, and David Loebel and the Memphis Symphony.

FrederiCa von Stade, mezzo-soprano Described by The New York Times as “one of America’s finest artists and singers,” Frederica von Stade has enriched the world of classical music for three decades. Since her debut in 1970 she has sung nearly all of her great roles with the Metropolitan Opera and has also appeared with every leading American opera company, including San Francisco Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago. Her career in Europe has been no less spectacular, with new productions mounted for her at Teatro alla Scala, the Vienna State Opera and the Paris Opera. She is invited regularly by the finest conductors, among them Claudio Abbado, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn, Leonard Slatkin and Michael Tilson Thomas.

With impressive versatility, she has traversed a broad spectrum of musical styles and dramatic characterizations. A noted bel canto specialist, she excelled as the heroines of Rossini’s La cenerentola and Bellini’s La sonnambula. She is an unmatched stylist in the French repertoire — in one critic’s words, “the Mélisande of one’s dreams.”

Frederica von Stade’s orchestral repertoire embraces works from the Baroque to those of today’s composers. In addition to the acclaim she has received for her vast French repertoire, she is continually in demand for the symphonic works of the great Austrian and German composers, as well as the new works of American composers.

Von Stade’s recordings have garnered six GRAMMY® nominations, two Grand Prix du Disc awards, the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, Italy’s Premio della Critica Discografica and “Best of the Year” citations by Stereo Review and Opera News. She holds honorary doctorates from Yale University and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, among others. In 1998, she was appointed as an officer of France’s L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.

In the fall of 2009, Naxos released a recording of Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony performing works by Michael Daugherty, which has earned three GRAMMY® Awards. Guerrero’s latest recording with the orchestra features the music of Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla.

During the 2010/11 season, Guerrero will travel to five continents to guest-conduct a wide array of repertoire. In North America, he conducts the Cleveland Orchestra during one of its Miami residency weeks, marking his fourth appearance with the orchestra in as many years. He also returns to the Kansas City Symphony for a second consecutive year. In South and Central America, he makes his Brazilian debut with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra in a two-week residency with concerts in both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. He now returns annually to Caracas, Venezuela, to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar and to work with young musicians in the country’s much-lauded El Sistema music education program. In addition, he will make a special appearance in his native Costa Rica to conduct the 70th anniversary gala concert of the Costa Rican National Orchestra.

Guerrero appears for the first time in Asia conducting the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in Kuala Lumpur, again with a two-week residency. He returns to Australia for a re-engagement with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, which he conducted at the 2008 Adelaide Festival, coupled with a debut visit to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in Perth. In Europe he will make his debut with the Brussels Philharmonic.

In recent seasons, Guerrero has appeared with many of the major North American orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Houston, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, San Diego, Toronto, Vancouver and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. He has also appeared at several major summer festivals, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Festival, and Indiana University’s summer orchestra festival.

Also in demand in Central and South America, Guerrero made his debut at the Casals Festival with Yo-Yo Ma and the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra in 2005, which was followed by return engagements in 2006 and 2007. He recently conducted the Filarmónica de Buenos Aires in one of its first concerts in the newly refurbished Teatro Colón.

In June 2004, Guerrero was awarded the Helen M. Thompson Award by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide. He holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was most recently the music director of the Eugene Symphony. From 1999 to 2004, Guerrero served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra. Prior to that appointment, he served as music director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela.

You might say the newest endowed chair at Lipscomb University is…a bench. The newly established Patricia and Rodes Hart Chair in Piano will seat distinguished music faculty for generations to come, beginning with its first distinguished faculty member, Dr. Jerome Reed, professor in the Lipscomb University Department of Music

and internationally respected pianist and teacher. We invite you to take a seat at his performances—or at any of hundreds of arts performances on the Lipscomb campus each year, most with no admission charge. Go to events.lipscomb.edu for a schedule.

Music, theatre and visual arts…the next most important chair is the one you fill.

Music at Lipscomb moves to first chair.

Nashville Symphony Legacy Society l e av i n G a l e G a C y, b u i l d i n G a F u t u r e the nashville symphony Legacy society honors those patrons who have included the symphony in their estate planning

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.

It also serves as a showcase for the grand prize winner of the Nashville Symphony’s Curb Concerto Competition, which recognizes emerging musical talent from across the state. This year’s winner, Annie Bender, a junior at The Comenius School in Franklin, will take the stage to perform Ravel’s Tzigane.
