hen Haydn composed the Symphony No. 31, he was still working within the ageold model of patronage by the ruling class. In his case, fortunately, the chief patron in the early decades of his career was from a music-loving family of Hungarian nobility, the Esterházys, who ranked among the most powerful and wealthy

This symphony comes from relatively early in the composer’s catalogue of 100-plus symphonies, and it emanates the fresh, inventive thinking that made haydn a pioneer of the Classical style, which he would pass on to Beethoven. First performance: Documentary evidence suggests that the premiere took place at the estate of haydn’s patron sometime in the middle of 1765, with haydn leading the orchestra, as well as playing violin in the ensemble.

symphony into its familiar Classical guise, and he developed it to the point from which Beethoven took it forward. The Symphony No. 31 is one of his experiments that had a very practical origin. Proud though he was of the orchestra he maintained as part of his palace staff, Prince Anton Esterházy had allowed the unusually large horn section (four players) to downsize through attrition, but eventually rehired the original would now call orchestra management as well as composing, and No.31 was intended to motivate

W H AT TO L I ST E N F OR The arresting opening bars immediately suggest the title, “Hornsignal,” by which this work has become known. A total of 31 of Haydn’s symphonies bear such nicknames, including “The Philosopher,” “Surprise” and “The Military.” But these have nothing to do with the programmatic narratives associated with symphonies by later composers. “Hornsignal” refers to a strictly musical feature: the sonic signature impressed on this score by Haydn’s battery of four horns. His final set of “London” symphonies, by comparison, feature only two horns each. While horns had strong iconic associations with the leisurely hunt that was a favorite aristocratic pastime — another Haydn symphony spotlighting horns is known as “La Chasse” or “The Hunt” — this work starts off with the four

Haydn’s score calls for flute, 2 oboes, 4 horns and strings.

STE p HE N pA U L US Born on August 24, 1949, in Summit, New Jersey; currently resides in St. Paul, Minnesota Concerto for String Quartet — “Three Places of Enlightenment” Stephen Paulus composed his Concerto for String Quartet in the summer of 1995 on a commission from Richard J. Bogomolny and Patricia M. Kozerefski for The Cleveland Orchestra. A recognized master of the concerto genre, Paulus took on an unusual challenge by assigning the soloist role to the four voices of a string quartet. The title Three Places of Enlightenment refers to the different modes of awareness explored by each of the concerto’s three movements. First performance: September 21, 1995, with the Cleveland Quartet and Christoph von Dohnányi conducting The Cleveland Orchestra.

anticipate a similarly prominent use of horns in Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony. Also as in the Eroica, composed nearly four decades later, Haydn uses variation form for the last movement — an unusual choice for a symphonic finale in this period. While the tune itself is straightforward, an integral aspect of these seven variations involves instrumentation. Haydn works his way through each section of the orchestra, including, of course, the horns, which are the focus of Variation Four. Capping it all is a sparkling coda in which he recalls the opening fanfare.

horns in unison sounding a military fanfare. Other signals associated with the horn also appear, including the echoing octaves that might have connoted the arrival of coachmen. The return of the military fanfare in the last part of the movement is especially effective. The slow movement counters this extroverted spirit with a graceful pastoral rhythm and the low strings’ pizzicato notes, which enhance the relaxed, almost serenade-like atmosphere. Haydn now brings the concertmaster to the fore in a symphony that already includes concerto-like elements, thanks to the special role of the horns. The horns also have an important role later in this movement, which hearkens back to a Baroque sensibility. They are likewise featured in the trio of the minuet, where Haydn almost seems to

am pleased to have been a composer who can satisfy all kinds, somewhat in the fashion of a Benjamin Britten,” Stephen Paulus remarked a few years ago during a retrospective interview on his career by Minnesota Public Radio. The wide range of audiences and performers for whom he has written music is reflected in his remarkably versatile and prolific list of works. It encompasses large-scale orchestral and choral works, operas and chamber works, as well as pieces for community groups and young musicians. Paulus’ complete catalogue already tallies more than 450 compositions and is continually expanding thanks to a steady stream of new projects. Yet along with his own creative work, Paulus has found time to be a powerful advocate for fellow composers. In 1973 he cofounded the American Composers Forum, the largest composer service organization in the world, and he also serves as Concert Music Representative on the ASCAP Board of Directors. The much sought-after composer has been commissioned by such leading institutions as the New York Philharmonic, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. The latest of his many concertos — the Violin Concerto No. 3, commissioned by The Cleveland Orchestra — receives its premiere this month. And Paulus is currently at work on yet another concerto, commissioned by the Phoenix Symphony and written for the highly gifted organist Paul Jacobs, who will unveil it next March. A significant composer of opera as well, Paulus, who studied with Dominick Argento at the University of Minnesota, has created 13 works for the stage. The dramatic sensibility that is central to Paulus’ compositional gift is likewise evident in his concertos for a wide variety of solo configurations. These make use of lively textural contrasts and striking juxtapositions, none more so than Three Places of Enlightenment, which originated from a request by William Preucil, currently concertmaster of The Cleveland Orchestra. After Paulus had written a violin concerto for him in 1987, Preucil asked for a new piece to feature the former Cleveland Quartet, in which he was then first violinist.

S E PTE MB E R 2 01 2

As a concerto for string quartet rather than for a single soloist — a rarity in the concerto repertory — the work presented unusual compositional challenges. “With a string quartet and orchestra,” notes Paulus, “you have to have four instruments operating as a unit, but you also need to find ways to feature each one.” He explains that the conversational intimacy associated with the chamber music format of the quartet must be balanced with the palette of the full orchestral ensemble, which he wanted to involve as more than mere accompaniment. Overall, this is a concerto with multiple layers of interaction: between the four soloists and the orchestra, between the quartet players themselves, and, on a psychological level, between the different modes of perception represented by each of its three movements. This last point is the basis for the title Three Places of Enlightenment. In each movement Paulus implies distinctive paths toward enlightenment. The first is involved with awareness or some sort of deeper wisdom that comes “from within,” while the second portrays awareness “from afar.” Here the close-up intensity of the first gives way, says the composer, to “seeing the situation from a distance and gaining clarity that allows you to notice things you weren’t aware of before.” The final movement, subtitled “From All Around and Radiating Ever Outward,” synthesizes the inner and outer perspectives by “looking all around.”

W H AT TO L I ST E N F OR Paulus remarks that while composing Three Places of Enlightenment, he had in mind an individual listening to the concerto and discovering these three distinctive approaches. This “psychological underpinning” served as a way to derive the essential “musical impetus” for each movement. The first, marked to be played “with fire,” uses gestures of restless perpetual motion, changing meters and powerful, angular accents to create an atmosphere of turmoil, even violence — in keeping with the notion of overcoming internal challenge or conflict. After they enter, the solo quartet players set a pattern of continual interplay, with one instrument passing off material to another.

Twice as long as each of the outer movements, the second movement turns the focus solely to the unaccompanied string quartet in its opening section, as the ominous opening theme segues into the reassuring balm of the American hymn tune “Sweet Hour of Prayer.” The shadows of the opening return repeatedly, and the movement at times evokes something of the mysterious “night music” — alternately melancholy and ecstatically otherworldly — associated with Bartók. During a climax featuring downward-cascading piano chords, a three-note motif that has figured several times in both the first and second movements is restated in prominent relief, followed by the movement’s quiet ending. The motif returns yet again in the last movement, transformed into a powerful statement. For the finale, Paulus uses scalar patterns in the strings, accented notes and mixed meters to generate a “rambunctious kinetic energy,” with a good deal of “cross-talk between the ensemble and the quartet.” A sense of activity and momentum drives both outer movements forward, with themes echoing back and forth among different instruments, and with sudden shifts in material when the orchestra takes over from the quartet. In contrast to the volatile emotions of the first movement, here Paulus elicits the zestful, playful energy of this music, eventually channeling it into a concluding passage that seals the concerto with optimistic resolve.

‘ VE I L O F T E A R S’ Paulus ranks both Three Places of Enlightenment and Veil of Tears among the “top five” in his own list of his most significant works. The latter is a brief reflective interlude from To Be Certain of the Dawn, a Holocaust oratorio on a vast scale that has been widely performed since its premiere in 2005. Set to a libretto by the composer’s frequent collaborator, Michael Dennis Browne, the work is in three parts, with Veil of Tears occurring as the penultimate section of the middle part (“Remembrance”). There it serves two functions, according to the composer. It provides an oasis of instrumental music within the larger choral context, and it also establishes a context for reflection and grieving. During performances of the full oratorio, Paulus has specified that the audience should light candles in remembrance of those who perished. Written for string orchestra, Veil of Tears can also be played as a stand-alone piece and belongs to a tradition that includes other works used for moments of public mourning, such as Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Opening with a unison phrase low in the violins, the music expands harmonically and in register. A climactic chord spread across the full ensemble is followed by a sudden dramatic reduction of volume and a subdued ending in C minor. In addition to solo string quartet, Three Places of Enlightenment is scored for 3 each of flutes, oboes, clarinets and bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, percussion, piano and strings. Veil of Tears is scored for string orchestra.

LUdWIg VAN BEETHOVEN CL A SS IC A L

Born on December 16, 1770, in Bonn, Germany; died on March 26, 1827, in vienna Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67

SE R I ES

Beethoven composed the Symphony No. 5 between 1804 and 1808 while simultaneously writing several other works. The most famous symphony in the repertory, the Fifth established a new paradigm by demonstrating the orchestra’s capacity to convey both dramatic intensity and philosophical depth without the aid of a text or program. First performance: December 22, 1808, in vienna, with the composer conducting. First nashville Symphony performance: October 26, 1948, with Music Director William Strickland. estimated length: 35 minutes

eethoven’s Fifth is perhaps the most iconic symphony in the history of the genre, yet the concert on which it was first heard was a somewhat inauspicious event. The Fifth shared the bill with Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, Fourth Piano Concerto and several other works on a long, alarmingly under-rehearsed program held for the 38-year-old composer’s benefit in Vienna shortly before Christmas. Eventually, however, the Fifth became the cornerstone in a new philosophy of music that influenced other artists, writers and thinkers. Attempts to use conventional terms to describe what was happening in this score no longer seemed adequate to convey the overwhelming, often downright perplexing experience it triggered in its early listeners. This was music that had to be interpreted. As a dramatic model, the Fifth laid out a template for the progression from grim tragedy to light-flooded triumph — or toward a kind of

S E PTE MB E R 2 01 2

sonic “enlightenment,” if you will. This happens in harmonic terms by traversing a journey from the opening in C minor, a key that held darkly passionate associations for Beethoven, to the concluding blaze of C major, which is vigorously reinforced by almost military-sounding brass and piccolo. The dramatic angle encompasses both the sense of crisis and the catharsis that is eventually achieved, and thus brings to mind comparisons with ancient Greek tragedy — another potential source suggested for the composer’s inspiration. In this reading, the image of inevitable destiny once again works its way into the scenario. At the same time, the Fifth is recognized as the quintessence of “absolute music” — music that develops its materials with an internally consistent logic whose meaning is contained in the notes alone, without any reliance on external descriptions.

The Fifth became the cornerstone in a new philosophy of music that influenced other artists, writers and thinkers.

What is often singled out as the key to the Fifth’s power is the seeming inevitability of this music. The paradox is that Beethoven achieves this effect precisely by manipulating the grammar of classical convention and style, which he inherited from his erstwhile teacher Haydn and from Mozart. Take the ultra-famous opening motif, for example. Beethoven’s real genius here is to tweak the expectations of classical rhetoric so that the pithy motto becomes a microcosm of the symphony as a whole, in the sense that it embodies a fundamental tension that will have to be resolved. This tension emerges from the start-and-stop gesture of the pattern. Its breathless, headstrong motion comes crashing to a halt before beginning again. What results is a feeling of urgent, terrifying suspense even before Beethoven has established the dark home key of C minor, which he proceeds to do in the overlapping motifs that ensue. The Fifth’s concentrated power derives not so much from the actual short-short-short-long rhythmic figure as from the varied ways in which Beethoven sustains and dramatizes the tension, both on the immediate level and in the long-range structure. The poignant solo oboe cadenza shortly into the recapitulation, for example, is often heard as a “protest” against an impersonal, driving force. Robert Simpson, one of the most astute commentators on the Beethoven symphonies, points out that the coda heightens the tension precisely by omitting the motto rhythm. Beethoven also readjusts the classical proportions of the first movement so that the coda becomes the longest section. Unlike the earlier Eroica, with its epic expanse, the Fifth hurtles forward with unrelenting determination, a torrent of furiously compressed energy. The slow movement takes the form of a double set of variations. The serene and

unusually elongated melody of the first is contrasted with the clipped, militaristic fanfare of the second (itself foreshadowed in the former’s dotted rhythms). Through the latter, with its startling change of key from A-flat to C major, Beethoven anticipates the symphony’s eventual resolution, but he draws out the suspense in a series of ghostly bridging harmonies that likewise point ahead to the mysterious final section of the scherzo. To characterize the Fifth as staging the “triumph” of joyful major over tragic minor is not entirely adequate, for it renders Beethoven’s design in terms that are too reductive and simplistic. In fact, he introduces light-filled moments of C major before the finale, as in the Andante’s fanfares and in the third movement. There’s even a comic aspect in the trio section of the scherzo, with its vigorous little C major fugue initiated by the low strings — a counterpart to the diabolic grotesquerie of the scherzo music in its “spectral” final phase, which fades to near inaudibility. The transition to the finale is the most tensely suspenseful passage in this symphony of heightened tension. Beethoven reaps enormous psychological dividends by linking it directly to the preceding scherzo. Once the initial catharsis of the “breakthrough” has been achieved, he reintroduces the threat represented by the scherzo into a compressed recall just before the recapitulation. “The finale is no romantic ‘triumph,’ ” observes Simpson. “The antithesis of scherzo and finale is an elemental phenomenon, and the finale has the last word only because it suggests a condition in which human power can thrive, not because the world of the scherzo has ceased to exist.”

About the soloists Jun IWASAKI, violin Jun Iwasaki was appointed concertmaster of the Nashville Symphony by Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero at the beginning of the 2011/12 season. A graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music’s prestigious Concertmaster Academy, he has been hailed for his combination of dazzling technique and lyrical musicianship. In a review of Iwasaki’s performance at the Mimir Chamber Music Festival, the Fort Worth Star Telegram called him “the magician of the evening. He could reach into his violin and pull out bouquets of sound, then reach behind your ear and touch your soul.” Prior to joining the Nashville Symphony, Iwasaki served as concertmaster of the Oregon Symphony from 2007 to 2011, and he performed with that ensemble at the first annual Spring For Music Festival in 2011. Throughout his career, he has appeared with numerous other orchestras, including the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Blossom Festival Orchestra, Rome (Georgia) Philharmonic, New Bedford Symphony, Canton Symphony, Richardson Symphony, Cleveland Pops Orchestra, Plano Symphony Orchestra and the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra.

the core of what became one of the most seminal groups in jazz history, the John Coltrane Quartet. The band had an extraordinary chemistry, fostered in part by Tyner’s almost familial relationship with Coltrane. From 1960 through 1965, Tyner’s name was propelled to international renown, as he developed a new vocabulary that transcended the piano styles of the time. He performed on Coltrane’s classic recordings, including A Love Supreme. In 1965, after more than five years with Coltrane’s quartet, Tyner left the group to explore his destiny as a composer and bandleader. Among his major projects is a 1967 album entitled The Real McCoy, on which he was joined by saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Ron Carter and fellow Coltrane alumnus Elvin Jones. Since 1980, he has also arranged his lavishly textured harmonies for big band. In the late 1980s, he mainly focused on his regular piano trio featuring Avery Sharpe on bass and Aaron Scott on drums. As of today, this trio is still in great demand. Tyner has always expanded his vision of the musical landscape and incorporated new elements, whether from distant continents or diverse musical influences. Aside from his prodigious career as a leader, Tyner has lent his talents to a who’s-who of modern jazz artists, including Art Blakey, The difference is one degree. Michael Brecker, Eric Dolphy, Joe Henderson, Freddie Hubbard, Bobby Hutcherson, Milt Jackson, Hank Mobley, Wayne Shorter, Stanley Turrentine and many others. Today Tyner has released nearly 80 albums under his name, earned four GRAMMY® Awards and was awarded Jazz You’re just one degree away from a Master from the National life-changing career move with a graduate degree from Endowment for the Arts in Lipscomb University’s Graduate School of Business. 2002.

Born in 1938 in Philadelphia, McCoyTyner became a part of the fertile jazz and R&B scene of the early ’50s. His parents imbued him with a love of music from an early age, encouraging him to explore his musical interests through formal training. The young pianist fell under the spell of blues and bebop, leading jam sessions in his mother’s beauty shop and winning talent shows. Tyner’s decision to study piano was reinforced when he encountered the legendary bebop pianist Bud Powell, who was a neighbor of the family’s. Another major influence on his playing was Thelonious Monk, whose percussive attacks would inform Tyner’s own signature style. At 17 he began a career-changing relationship with Miles Davis’ sideman saxophonist, John Coltrane. While Tyner patiently waited for Coltrane to leave Davis’ group and start his own band, he joined saxophonist Benny Golson and trumpeter Art Farmer in forming a New Yorkbased ensemble, Jazztet. Tyner finally joined Coltrane for the classic album My Favorite Things (1960) and remained at

cArrIe Ann GeroW, choreographer Carrie Ann Gerow earned her B.F.A. in dance at New World School of the Arts in Miami, Florida. She has danced with Nashville Ballet II, Momentum Dance Company and Karen Peterson and Dancers, a mixed-ability company making works for able-bodied dancers alongside dancers with disabilities. Touring the Southeastern U.S., Brazil and the Bahamas with these and other contemporary dance ensembles, she has had the opportunity to work with diverse teachers and choreographers, and to study various ethnic dance forms. In addition to serving on the faculty of the School of Nashville Ballet, Gerow teaches in Belmont University’s dance program, where she created and teaches the first Dance Kinesiology curriculum offered at the school, as well as teaching courses in ballet, modern and choreographing for the Belmont Dance Company. She maintains a performing schedule with Epiphany Dance Company, Nashville in Motion, the Chinese Arts Alliance of Nashville and other Nashville-based dance companies.

An occasional Teaching Artist with the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s ArtSmart program, Gerow draws on the ideas of aesthetic education to facilitate her students’ work in making interdisciplinary curriculum connections, and to help her students see dance as a window to a deeper understanding of themselves and their surroundings. As a certified Pilates instructor, she brings this alignment perspective into all her teaching and performing work. Dancing, teaching, studying and creating work are treasured facets of her professional and personal artistic growth.

Last year, he led the Nashville Symphony to a GRAMMY® win for a second consecutive year with their recording of American composer Joseph Schwantner’s Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra. His previous recording with the orchestra of Michael Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony and Deus Ex Machina won three 2011 GRAMMY® Awards, including Best Orchestral Performance. A fervent advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Guerrero has collaborated with and championed the works of several of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Michael Daugherty, Roberto Sierra and Richard Danielpour. In the 2012/13 season, Guerrero makes debuts with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie Orchester Berlin and Norwegian Radio Orchestra. He returns to the Boston, Indianapolis and Toronto Symphony Orchestras, Philadelphia Orchestra for both its subscription season and at Vail, Brussels Philharmonic, Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra and to Australia for performances with the Adelaide Symphony and Auckland Philharmonia. An advocate for young musicians and music education, Guerrero now returns annually to Caracas, Venezuela, to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar and to work with young musicians in the country’s lauded El Sistema music program.

Last season, he led a five-city European tour with the Monte Carlo Philharmonic. Early in his career, Guerrero worked regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera, and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La Bohème and Rigoletto. Future plans include productions at the Houston Grand Opera and Marseille Opera. In February 2008, he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival, to great acclaim. In June 2004, Guerrero was honored with the Helen M.

He was previously the Music Director of the Eugene Symphony in Oregon. From 1999 to 2004, he served as Associate Conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, where he made his subscription debut in March 2000 leading the world premiere of John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria on the Ghosts of Versailles.

While he has conducted on all series the orchestra offers, Schram is primarily responsible for its Bank of America Pops Series. Schram’s longest tenure has been with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, where he has worked in a variety of capacities since 1979. As a regular guest conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Schram in 2002 opened the orchestra’s new permanent summer home, Symphony Park. From 1990 to 1996, he served as resident conductor of the Louisville Orchestra. The former Florida Philharmonic Orchestra appointed Schram as resident conductor beginning with the 2002/03 season. In 2008 Schram was invited to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Bolivia and the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. His other foreign conducting engagements have included the KBS Symphony Orchestra and the Taegu Symphony Orchestra in Korea, and the Orchester der Allgemeinen Musikgesellschaft Luzern in Switzerland. He has returned to his native Holland to conduct the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Netherlands Broadcast Orchestra. In the U.S., his recent and coming guest conducting appearances include the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Tucson Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Oklahoma City Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, Dayton Philharmonic, Shreveport Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Allentown Symphony and the Mansfield Symphony. Schram’s studies have been largely in the European tradition under the tutelage of Franco Ferrara, Rafael Kubelik, Abraham Kaplan and Neeme Järvi. He received his initial training at the Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands, then later moved to Canada to undertake studies at the universities of Calgary and Victoria. His training was completed at the University of Washington.

he 2012/13 season marks Associate Conductor Kelly Corcoran’s sixth season with the Nashville Symphony. During this time, she has conducted a variety of programs, including the Classical and Pops Series, and has served as the primary conductor for the orchestra’s education and community engagement concerts. She made her Carnegie Hall conducting debut in May 2012 with the Nashville Symphony during the Spring For Music Festival. This season she is also the Acting Director for the Nashville Symphony Chorus. Corcoran appears this season with The Cleveland Orchestra, Naples Philharmonic, Louisville Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony and as a Music Director candidate with the Topeka Symphony and FargoMoorhead Symphony. She has conducted major orchestras throughout the country, including the Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee and National Symphonies, often with return engagements. In 2009, she made her South American debut as a guest conductor with the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina, returning for multiple subscription programs in 2011. Named as Honorable Mention for the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship, Corcoran studied with Marin Alsop and shared performances with her and the Bournemouth (UK) Symphony and Colorado Symphony. Prior to Nashville, she completed three seasons as assistant conductor for the Canton Symphony Orchestra in Ohio and music director of the Canton Youth Symphony and the Cleveland-area Heights Chamber Orchestra. Corcoran attended the Lucerne Festival’s master class in conducting with Pierre Boulez. In 2004, Corcoran participated in the National Conducting Institute, where she studied with Leonard Slatkin. Her past posts include assistant music director of the Nashville Opera, founder/music director of the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra and fellow with the New World Symphony. Originally from Massachusetts and a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus for more than 10 years, Corcoran received her Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from The Boston Conservatory and her Master of Music in instrumental conducting from Indiana University.

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 visit nashvillesymphony.org/plannedgiving, or contact hayden pruett, major Gifts officer, at 615.687.6615
