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.
For the first time, our pharmaceutical research is being taken for granted.

Born on May 22, 1813 in Leipzig, Germany; died on February 13, 1883 in Venice, Italy Siegfried Idyll Composed: 1870 First performance: Christmas morning in 1870 at the composer’s home near Lucerne, Switzerland First Nashville Symphony performance: December 14, 1954, with Music Director Guy Taylor Estimated length: 24 minutes

he image of Wagnerian ponderousness is a simplistic cliché: his operas are filled with moments of exquisite, achingly beautiful intimacy and chamber-like textures. Siegfried Idyll offers proof that Wagner could make an impression in the most tender of ways. It was with this music that he serenaded his new wife, Cosima, on Christmas morning in 1870. Their recent marriage had followed a scandal-ridden period in which each committed adultery to be with the other. Cosima was the daughter of Wagner champion Franz Liszt and the former wife of Hans von Bülow, another advocate of the composer who had conducted the premieres of Tristan und Isolde and Die Meistersinger. Cosima’s birthday was December 24 (she turned 33 that year), but as her sense of messianic entitlement fully matched that of her husband, she was in the habit of celebrating on the

J A NUA RY 2 0 1 5
following day. The occasion proved particularly joyful in 1870. The couple’s recent marriage at last legitimized a relationship that had caused widespread scandal, and Wagner had achieved a sense of relative equilibrium in his otherwise chaotic, crisis-ridden existence. The composer resettled the family in a beautiful lakeside villa in Tribschen in central Switzerland, not far from the scenic old town of Lucerne. With this tranquil setting as a backdrop, Wagner found the calm he needed to concentrate on his long-standing Ring project, after a protracted delay of years; in 1869 he completed the third and final act of Siegfried. And Tribschen was where, that same year, Cosima gave birth to their only son together. The arrival of Siegfried Wagner, named after the Ring’s young hero, heralded a new period of optimism and unwonted domestic contentment for the restless composer. All of these joyful associations mingled together in the single-movement Siegfried Idyll. That’s the consensus image, at any rate: the controversial German biographer Joachim Köhler has questioned this picture of domestic bliss by intimating that Wagner’s love here may also be directed at the young Judith Gautier, a recent visitor to Tribschen. The composer’s initial title, inscribed on the autograph score, was “Tribschen Idyll with Fidi-Birdsong and Orange Sunrise, presented as a symphonic birthday greeting to his Cosima by her Richard, 1870.” The boy’s nickname was Fidi, and the couple privately marveled at the brilliantly glowing sunrise as it reflected off the orange wallpaper of their bedroom. In her diary, Cosima reports awakening to the strains of music she believed to be coming from a dream. She was, in fact, hearing the chamber ensemble her husband had put together to play on the villa’s staircase. Created as a kind of site-specific occasional composition, the piece also served as a private love letter. Eight years later, as he became weighted down by the crushing debts accumulated during the debut of the Ring, Wagner was forced to publish the score to generate income, and he renamed it Siegfried Idyll.

he strained relationship between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his father Leopold fascinates us. It’s a recurrent motif in Peter Shaffer’s fictionalized portrayal in Amadeus and also informs Maynard Solomon’s in-depth biography of Mozart, in which he sets out to correct the distorted image of the composer as “the eternal child.” Solomon finds in the clash of wills between father and son an ongoing source of creative tension that informed major choices the young Wolfgang made in his life and art alike. “[T]hroughout his life,” writes Solomon, “Mozart
struggled against the demands of his past, the survival of archaic patterns of behavior, and the incessant invocation of his childhood image.” Tellingly, after he left Salzburg and settled in Vienna to pursue the career of a freelance artist, Mozart chose to focus on his image as a virtuoso keyboard player. This was a powerful declaration of independence, especially since the keyboard replaced the violin as his instrument of choice. Mozart would have most closely associated the violin not only with his father, but also with his ties to the Salzburg he despised: his first professional post had been as concertmaster in the court

The Siegfried Idyll was originally scored for 13 (or possibly 15) players: flute, oboe, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 horns, trumpet and strings (conceived as a small ensemble for the home performance but expanded for string orchestra in the concert hall).

This “symphonic birthday greeting” recycles musical ideas Wagner used for the third-act love duet between Siegfried and Brünnhilde in the penultimate Ring opera. (At the time, the opera had not yet been performed.) But in this context the epic Siegfried music acquires an aura of intimacy. Wagner, so well known for using music to convey extra-musical ideas and dramatic situations, here pens a purely instrumental composition. It even loosely adheres to sonata form — a relic of the past that Wagner’s “Music of the Future” allegedly had rendered obsolete. Against a lullaby-like atmosphere, the strings intone the main theme. Wagner associated this warm melody in E major with Cosima, and he subsequently immortalized it in the Siegfried
duet that starts with Brünnhilde’s words to the young hero who has awakened her from her slumber:“Ewig war ich, ewig bin ich” (“I was, I am, eternally [yours]”). Also part of the musical fabric are a folk lullaby and other Siegfried motifs, such as the birdsong from the Forest Murmurs scene in which Siegfried communes with nature, and the hypnotic sleep motif indicating the state to which Brünnhilde has been consigned for disobeying her father, Wotan.

orchestra of Salzburg’s Archbishop, and Leopold was an internationally acclaimed master teacher of the violin. However unhappy he became in his native Salzburg, Mozart composed numerous works of heartfelt beauty there — works that showcase the violin, possibly for his own performance. No one knows the precise circumstances behind his five existing violin concertos, though they may have been intended for an admired Italian violinist who played in the Salzburg court orchestra. Mozart’s “year of the violin” is usually cited as 1775, the year in which it is believed that he produced four of these works in quick succession. (The Violin Concerto No. 1 is now believed to have been composed a few years earlier.) Solomon groups these works with the larger creative effort of Mozart’s Salzburg serenades, which often contain concerto-like movements featuring the solo violin. This “serenade style,” writes Solomon, represents “a youthful music of yearning but not of grief, imbued with an innocent utopianism, a faith in perfectibility, beauty and sensual fulfillment,” and shows “the first cresting of Mozart’s own creative powers.”
W HAT TO LIST E N F OR The Violin Concerto No. 5 brims with this sense of imaginative possibility. The first movement, for which Mozart specifies an unusual tempo marking — “Allegro aperto” (literally, “open Allegro”) — contains one novelty after another, however conventional the ascending arpeggio gesture of the opening orchestral introduction may sound. Particularly startling is the entry of the solo violin. The music shifts to an altogether different plane in an Adagio in which Mozart suggests a kind of slow-motion, dreamy sequence. When he does return to the faster opening tempo, he gives the soloist brand-new

thematic ideas alongside the material originally introduced by the orchestra. His writing for the soloist blends the festive and the lyrical. The ending Adagio in E major — also a rare tempo marking for a Mozart slow movement — taps into the transitory idyll suggested by the soloist’s entry in the opening movement. The composer uses his modest orchestra (just pairs of oboes and horns and the usual string complement) to paint with subtly varied shades as the solo violin traces a graceful cantabile melody with amorous eloquence. The sense of invention continues in the finale, in which Mozart combines two kinds of music to present the violin in utterly distinctive roles. The main rondo theme takes the form of a wellbehaved minuet, ornamented with grace notes and elegant turns of phrase. But one of the central episodes alternating with the rondo theme turns into an extended adventure. The tonality shifts to the minor as Mozart resorts to what his audience would have perceived as “exotic” touches. This is earthy and wild music that loosens the corset of the minuet-like rondo. The Concerto’s nickname, “Turkish,” refers specifically to this passage. “Turkish” was the label applied by Mozart’s peers to music with a vaguely Eastern sound, though the composer drew in part on a ballet tune from one of his own early operas. The return of the minuet theme enhances the dramatic confrontation between these two styles. Mozart stages a drama of dances, in which the violin figures equally as the charismatic protagonist, but finally bids adieu with a subdued farewell bow. In addition to solo violin, Concerto in A major is scored for pairs of oboes and horns as well as strings.

“T
he apotheosis of the dance” — Wagner’s endlessly quoted epithet for the Seventh Symphony — gives listeners just one way of thinking about this work’s paradoxical combination of archaic and revolutionary characteristics. For the rhythmic impulses that Wagner associated with dance in Beethoven’s music can also evoke the sophisticated meters and rhythms of ancient Greek poetry, as Beethoven biographer Maynard Solomon observes. Solomon sees this fascination with Classical antiquity as a significant thread in Beethoven’s artistic worldview, and as evidence of a larger “Renaissance impulse” that has inspired some of the great musical revolutions (the birth of opera, for example). Thus the desire “to resurrect the music of the ancient world, thereby to gain access to the presumed childhood of civilization,” writes Solomon, is expressed in “a modernist
W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R The introduction to the first movement, for example, is almost a movement in itself, with its massive scale and use of contrasts. Underlying the dynamic momentum of the Vivace (with its prominent use of long-short-short rhythms — the meter of ancient classical epics) are slowly moving drones deep in the bass. The grinding tension between these two aspects generates an electrifying, even seismic, sense of energy in the coda. The Seventh exudes an overall mood of exhilarating power but still leaves room for the melancholy strain that emerges in the main part of the Allegretto, with its shift to A minor and its solemn long-short-short-long-long pattern. As in the Mozart concerto performed on this program, this is an unusual tempo indication for a Beethoven “slow movement.” Still, the Allegretto offers a reprieve from the churning speed of the other movements.

symphony” that “bears what may be the hallmarks of a dynamic era of revolution and war — a rhythm-dominated musical language, rhetoric and grammar.” As it happens, the first audience to experience the Seventh Symphony very likely associated its outsize exuberance with the sense of impending triumph over Napoleon’s once seemingly invincible power: after years of disruptive warfare, a lasting peace finally beckoned. In this way, the Seventh brackets the period of French Revolutionary fervor that had so deeply affected Beethoven at the beginning of his career and that, he believed, Napoleon had co-opted and corrupted through his imperial pretensions. Alongside these associations with Classical antiquity, communal celebration and militant revolutionary rhetoric, the Seventh might be said to be “about” the power of music itself. The score is constructed of primal elements, from obsessively repetitive rhythmic patterns to the simple (“alphabetical”) character of most of Beethoven’s actual thematic material (scales and outlines of the basic harmony of the triad). It is with these that Beethoven builds his architecture of epic proportions.
C L ASS ICAL S ERIES
theme, the principal musical idea accrues new layers of orchestration with each repetition, a technique Beethoven will later use in the orchestral introduction of the “joy” theme in Ninth Symphony’s finale. (Certain classic rock anthems borrow the idea — take the second half of The Beatles’ “Hey, Jude.”) The tonality warms to major in the middle section, in which the clarinet presents a countermelody that shows off Beethoven’s lyricism at its finest. The triple-meter template of the Scherzo continues to spotlight the rhythmic dimension of this music, which is again aligned, as in the grand introduction, with a scalar idea — in this case, a rapidly descending scale in F major, some distance from the home key of A major. The ceremonial character of the Allegretto makes a reappearance in the contrasting middle section, with its climactic trumpet call. After one complete repeat, Beethoven cuts short the hint of a third presentation of this idea. The ensuing finale begins with hammer-blow chords and proceeds with an almost terrifying fury. Beethoven, writes Solomon, composes what might be interpreted as “a critique” that “undermines the precepts of a calm and symmetrical Classicism, preferring those dynamic polarities of tranquility and terror, containment and abandon, and dream and intoxication that Nietzsche later identified as ‘the ApollonianDionysian duality.’ “ Despite his worsening deafness — or perhaps because of it — Beethoven was now on the cusp of the boldest stylistic transformation of his career. Even more than an “apotheosis,” the Seventh embodies what Wagner found particularly awe-inspiring in Beethoven’s genius: “the power of shaping the unfathomable” and the ability to give this the “most transparent” immediacy. The Seventh Symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. — Thomas May, the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator, is a writer and translator who covers classical and contemporary music.

ABOUT THE ARTIST KENNY ROGERS Known for his instantly identifiable vocals and an extraordinary ability to vividly inhabit each song he performs, Kenny Rogers has enjoyed great success during his storied career of nearly five-and-a-half decades. The country and pop superstar has endeared music lovers around the globe with his amazing songs, heartfelt performances and rare storytelling ability, while receiving countless awards for his music and charity work, including three GRAMMY® Awards, 18 American Music Awards, 11 People’s Choice Awards, eight Academy of Country Music Awards and six Country Music Association Awards. In addition, he has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Entertainment Buyers Association and is a recipient of the Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award from the Academy of Country Music. Rogers is a 2013 Country Music Hall of Fame Inductee, and he is the RIAA’s eighth-best-selling male solo artist of all time, with one Diamond album, 19 Platinum albums, 31 Gold albums and sales of more than 120 million records worldwide. His Greatest Hits has sold more than 24 million copies worldwide. The first country artist to consistently sell out arenas, Rogers has played to millions of fans around the world. Amazingly, he has charted a record within each of the last seven decades (’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s and 2010s). He was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award by the Country Music Association in 2013. Rogers has recorded 24 No. 1 songs (including “The Gambler,” “Lady,” “Lucille,” “She Believes in Me,” “Through the Years,” “Love Will

Turn You Around” and “Islands in the Stream”) and 12 No. 1 albums. He is unique in that he has enjoyed success in such a variety of genres — jazz, folk, country and pop. Houston-born Rogers formed his first band while in high school in 1956—a doo-wop group called the Scholars—and has never quit making music. He charted as a solo artist in the late ’50s with “That Crazy Feeling,” played stand-up bass in the jazz group the Bobby Doyle Three and in 1966 became a member of folk group The New Christy Minstrels. The spotlight started focusing on Rogers when his group the First Edition scored their first hit, “Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In).” It was Rogers’ breakthrough, GRAMMY®winning performance of “Lucille” as a solo artist in 1977 that propelled him to superstardom, launching one of the most prosperous careers in the history of music. Certified gold, “Lucille” was named Song of the Year and Single of the Year by the Academy of Country Music and also earned Single of the Year honors from the Country Music Association. Rogers released his latest studio recording, You Can’t Make Old Friends, on Warner Bros. Records in 2013 to rave reviews and a No. 9 debut on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, marking his 22nd Top 10 country album. Rogers and duet partner Dolly Parton were nominated for a GRAMMY® Award and a CMA Award for their performance on the title track. “Kenny Rogers: Through The Years” is a career-spanning exhibit currently being hosted by the Country Music Hall of Fame™ and Museum in Nashville through June of this year.

“They saved my life” –Duane Eddy
At Williamson Medical Center, our story is best told by our patients. They have been here. They know us well. To Deed and Duane Eddy, Williamson Medical Center is where Duane’s life was saved when he suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm. What started out as back pain ended with Duane collapsing at our front door. One more red light and he wouldn’t have made it, his doctors told him. What happened over the next few days, the Eddys describe as a symphony. Nurses, doctors and hospital staff working together to produce a beautiful outcome that meant Duane walked out of the hospital and back on stage where he belongs. We want to hear your story.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
S PEC IAL EV ENT
CELEBRATION CHORUS Representing the long important role of vocal music in African-American history, the Celebration Chorus has been an integral part of “Let Freedom Sing” since its inception in 1993. The Chorus, which is formed and managed by local recording and solo artist Odessa Settles and directed by Diana K. Poe, consists of singers from the Nashville Symphony Chorus and from dozens of area colleges, universities, places of worship and choruses, with diverse ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. The diversity within the ensemble displays the ecumenism advocated by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for “all of God’s children — black men and white men, Jews and
Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants — to stand and sing together.” Celebration Chorus director Diana Poe is an alumna of Tennessee State University as well as a former vocal professor and choir director at TSU. She holds a master’s degree in vocal performance from Austin Peay State University. As a professor at TSU, she was founder and artistic director of the Showstoppers choir, which under her direction performed at the 2010 Kennedy Center Honors presentation for Oprah Winfrey. She sits on the Tennessee Arts Academy Board and has directed the Nashville Symphony Celebration Chorus for the Let Freedom Sing concert for more than 20 years. She is presently a music instructor at Nashville State Community College.

CELEBRATION YOUTH CHORUS Celebration Youth Chorus is comprised of students in grades 2 to 12 from five ensembles that make up the MET Singers. It is our honor to perform in our 18th season of Let Freedom Sing! Choral Arts Link is the nonprofit umbrella of the MET Singers and is an advocate of quality choral training and civic performance opportunities for Middle Tennessee singers in public, private and home schools. We extend our appreciation to Kelly Corcoran for her vision and innovative artistic leadership and to the Nashville Symphony for its investment in arts access opportunities for children and youth across Middle Tennessee. The MET Singers will join the Nashville Symphony Chorus on March 15 during the Voices of Spring concert to premiere a commissioned work by Paul Kwami. Titled The Drummer, this work honors the United States Colored Troops from a youth’s diary entries as he prepares and leads soldiers as “the drummer.” The lyrics are dedicated to the 13th Infantry Regiment USCS, and the work is in honor of the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the Civil War. Your support of this historic presentation is appreciated via choralartslink.org.

CIVIL RIGHTS COLLECTION OF THE NASHVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY From its second-story location in the Nashville Public Library, the Civil Rights Collection could be thought of as blooming where it was planted almost a half-century ago. It was in the streets below that students from the city’s four black colleges launched a nonviolent protest against segregated lunch counters and other public accommodations on February 13, 1960, after three months of preparation and planning. The Civil Rights Collection occupies the
west wing of the Nashville Room, which is the library’s central repository of historical materials documenting the life of the city since its founding in 1779. The room features blackand-white photos from the civil rights era by photographers of The Tennessean and Nashville Banner newspapers, as well as display text prepared by members of the Nashville Room staff, ably assisted by some three dozen local citizens and others with direct knowledge of the subject. The complete Civil Rights Collection includes books, oral histories, published audio and video imprints, ephemera, periodicals, records and manuscripts.

ABOUT THE ARTIST GREGORY PORTER Ever dapper in his Kangol Summer Spitfire hat, suit jacket and wooden-wristband Nixon watch, Gregory Porter is here to breathe life, vitality, fun, excitement, passion and honesty into the jazz, soul and blues music he has loved from boyhood, ever since Nat “King” Cole entered his heart. It’s the central message of his third and latest album: Porter is here with Liquid Spirit, offering up a replenishing, satisfying brew. As the lyrics to the title track have it: “Un-reroute the rivers, let the dammed water be, there’s some people down the way that’s thirsty, so let the liquid spirit free.” It’s a sentiment that’s of a piece with the slow-burning success of Liquid Spirit, released in autumn 2013 as the first fruits of Porter’s new worldwide deal with Blue Note Records. He has been slowly, measuredly building his craft. It’s a work ethic — dogged, patient, respectful — that
Porter learned at his mother’s knee in Bakersfield, California. A single parent to eight children, and a “storefront minister,” she’s paid tribute on the simple, elegant track “When Love Is King.” Bakersfield was an epicenter of country music. But its migrant population from Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi also brought with it gospel, blues, R&B, jazz, soul. “I was singing that music of a bygone era with these old church members that my mother would associate with,” Porter recalls. “And that still informs my music. Liquid Spirit is directly from that.” This rich mixture goes some way to explaining the power of Porter’s music. But he’s the first to admit that it can be confusing to purists. “I’m fully aware that everything I do doesn’t adequately please jazz traditionalists,” he says. “I laugh at the mix of people who show up at shows. I have to give them all something — and something for all of them exists in me.” InConcert

ABOUT THE PROGRAM In 1789 France was virtually bankrupt. In order to raise money, and in the hope that he could raise taxes in exchange for limited political reform, King Louis XVI convoked the Estates General, a loosely representative governing body that hadn’t met for more than a century. Elections to the assembly agitated already burgeoning aspirations for political change, and the king’s ploy
failed. When the Estates General met in 1798, it made manifest the new political consciousness in France, along with its new radical aspirations. It was only a matter of time before Louis and the old order were swept away. Ça Ira concerns the events that occurred during the period between 1789 and 1793 that led to the establishment of the Republic.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
S PEC IAL EV ENT
ROGER WATERS, creator/narrator Roger Waters became a legend of rock music through his seminal creations The Wall and The Dark Side of the Moon. He has sold more than 250 million albums worldwide, including 74.5 million sold in the United States, and has sold more tickets in the last three years than any other performing artist. He now turns to his latest creation — his own operatic composition. In 1965, Waters co-founded the band Pink Floyd with drummer Nick Mason, keyboardist Richard Wright and guitarist, singer and songwriter Syd Barrett. Waters initially served as the group’s bassist and co-lead vocalist, but following the departure of Barrett in 1968, he also became their lyricist and conceptual leader. Pink Floyd subsequently achieved international success with the concept albums The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut. By the early 1980s, they had become one of the most best-selling acts in the history of popular music; as of 2013, they have sold more than 250 million albums worldwide. Waters’ solo career has included three studio albums: The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking, Radio K.A.O.S. and Amused to Death. In 1990, he staged one of the largest and most extravagant rock concerts in history, The Wall — Live in Berlin, with an official attendance of 200,000. In 1996, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Pink Floyd. In 2005, he released Ça Ira, an opera translated from Etienne and Nadine Roda-Gil’s libretto about the French Revolution. In 2010, he began The Wall Live and in 2011 Gilmour and Mason appeared with him during a performance of the double album in London. As of 2013, the tour is the highest grossing of all time by a solo artist. SALLY MATTHEWS, soprano Sally Matthews was the winner of the 1999 Kathleen Ferrier Award.

In her debut with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Matthews will sing Dutilleux’s Le temps l’horloge and Lia’s aria from Debussy’s L’enfant prodigue. Future opera highlights also include appearances at the Metropolitan Opera, The Royal Opera, Covent Garden and the Salzburg Festival. BRYAN HYMEL, tenor Hailed by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for his “range of expression and vocal power combined with the subtle art of characterization,” Bryan Hymel is the winner of the 2013 Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera. The New York Times praised his “unflagging stamina and impetuous abandon” during his 2012 Metropolitan Opera debut as Énée in Les Troyens, for which he was presented with the Metropolitan Opera’s Beverly Sills Artist Award. In 2014, Hymel became an exclusive recording artist for Warner Classics, with his first solo album set to debut in 2015. Hymel’s 2014/15 season brings a number of debuts across the United States.
