Overture

With the reopening of the Schermerhorn, we will celebrate once again how remarkably the city of Nashville has rebounded from the May flood, and we at the Nashville Symphony will take a moment to reflect on the tremendous support we’ve received.

The reopening of Schermerhorn Symphony Center is now only days away, and we are feeling almost as excited as we did when our concert hall opened to the public four years ago. In many ways, this is an even more special moment, because our whole community has been through so much over the past year.

With the reopening of the Schermerhorn, we will celebrate once again how remarkably the city of Nashville has rebounded from the May flood, and we at the Nashville Symphony will take a moment to reflect on the tremendous support we’ve received from across the entire Middle Tennessee region.

It’s true that our Grand Re-Opening on New Year’s Eve is sold out, but I hope that you’ll join us for some of the many fantastic concerts we have coming up in the next few months. On January 6-8, we’ll welcome Robert Levin, one of the world’s leading Mozart experts, for our first SunTrust Classical Series concerts back in the concert hall. The following week, Peter Cetera, longtime vocalist of the legendary group Chicago, joins the orchestra for our Bank of America Pops Series. Looking further ahead, we’ve got more great things to come, including our Valentine’s Special with Gladys Knight on February 11 and 12, and the return of Leonard Slatkin, who will conduct a new violin concerto by Philip Glass on March 10-12. Conductor Giancarlo Guerrero will end the season on June 2-4 with a full performance of Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony, and I couldn’t dream of a better way to wrap things up. Who could have known, when we were planning the season many, many months ago, just how significant this piece would wind up being to us?

Until the Schermerhorn reopens, we have a great month of music planned for December, and we are so pleased that you’ve joined us. I am proud to say that, in spite of all the disruption created by the flood, we haven’t missed a beat this season, and we couldn’t have done it without the tremendous goodwill and cooperation of our partners at Lipscomb University, Tennessee Performing Arts Center and Ryman Auditorium. Thanks to these venues, who’ve worked so hard to accommodate us over the past six months, we’ve been able to continue bringing great music to the people of Middle Tennessee, just as we’ve done for the past 65 years.

We’ll dive back into our regular season on January 6, when the SunTrust Classical Series welcomes guest conductor Nicholas McGegan. He’ll join the orchestra for performances of Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, the latter featuring Mozart authority Robert Levin. We’re also thrilled to announce that American Public Media’s Performance Today will be broadcasting the concert! Locally, the program airs on WPLN-HD2; for more information or to listen online, visit performancetoday.publicradio.org.

You don’t have to have special training to enjoy symphonic music, but a bit of knowledge and insight can make the experience even more enjoyable. With that in mind, Nashville Symphony Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero will join Vice President of Education and Community Engagement Mitchell Korn to lead “How to Listen to Classical Music” a series of classes to be held this coming January and February. Offered through Vanderbilt’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, the classes will provide participants with a fun crash course on both the symphonic form and the practical workings of an orchestra.

Guerrero will start off the six class sessions on January 13 with “Symphony 101,” a primer on the structure and elements of a symphonic composition. Maestro Guerrero will, naturally, also lead the second session, “What Does a Conductor Actually Do?” In addition to exploring the role that the conductor plays in the interpretation and presentation of

symphonic music, he’ll compare and contrast the work of some of the world’s great conductors. Korn, who serves as Adjunct Professor of Music and Educational Outreach at Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music, will lead the remaining four sessions, which will focus on everything from the making of a classical musician to the different instruments in the orchestra. Participants will have an opportunity to try out instruments and experience firsthand the unique challenges each one presents.

Classes will meet every Thursday from 11 a.m.-12:15 p.m. at the Commons on the Vanderbilt campus. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is a membership organization dedicated to high-quality continuing education for adults. Annual membership dues are $10, and a class fee of $80 entitles members to take three courses per term. For more information, contact the Institute at 615.343.0700, or email director Norma Clippard at norma.clippard@vanderbilt.edu.

Tennessee Titan Rob Bironas partners with Symphony The Nashville Symphony's goal is to be a leader for arts education in Middle Tennessee and a vital resource for families and schools. We’re thrilled to announce that Tennessee Titans Placekicker Rob Bironas is partnering with us through his own organization, The Rob Bironas Fund, to help us achieve this important mission.

“Ever since I joined the Titans, I’ve wanted to give back to the community, and I feel very strongly about music education,” Bironas says.

“It teaches children and young adults many of the same things I’ve learned over the years in the athletic world — hard work, discipline, responsibility — and it gives kids a creative outlet. That said, it’s one of the first things to get cut from school budgets. Of all the places in the country, Nashville roB BIronaS should be leading the way in music education, and this my chance to help by connecting children with music and creating learning possibilities in their own lives.”

In the last season alone, the Nashville Symphony served 170,000 students, teachers and adults through a wide variety of education and community engagement programs. These include our expanding One Note, One Neighborhood initiative, which shares comprehensive music education services with targeted school clusters in the Metro Nashville Public Schools system, and our Instrument Petting Zoo, a hands-on educational experience that gives many children their first-ever

chance to play a musical instrument. Now, with Bironas’ help, we’re planning to take our Petting Zoo — and much more — on the road in a traveling MusicMobile!

Inspired by the idea that every child deserves the opportunity to learn about music, the MusicMobile will be a musical field trip on wheels filled with a broad array of classical, country and bluegrass instruments; hands-on music-making experiences; live music demonstrations; and multimedia music exhibits. The MusicMobile will go a long way toward expanding our existing education programs by allowing us to reach at-risk populations at schools, community centers, parks, festivals, concerts and summer camps across the city.

“I still remember being a kid and visiting the bookmobile with my mom,” Bironas says. “This is the same idea: The MusicMobile will provide kids with instruments they can see and hear and touch and read about. It’s a way to get them interested in music and help them develop those life skills that music education can offer — and it’s something they’re always going to remember.

“My ultimate goal is to help children in Music City lead fulfilling lives. I want to create opportunities that they otherwise might not have had, and this partnership with the Nashville Symphony is the perfect way to do that. If we can change people’s lives, then it’s worth all the time and effort we put into it.”

Stay tuned for more news about our MusicMobile project! For more information, contact the Nashville Symphony’s Education & Community Engagement Department at 615.687.6561 or education@nashvillesymphony.org.

Xiao-Fan Zhang Cello, Nashville Symphony Hometown: Shantou, China Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 2003 Are there any pieces you’re especially looking forward to performing this season? I’ve done Mahler’s Second Symphony a few times, but every time it’s very exciting to perform. Also, I’m excited that we’re performing it with Frederica von Stade. She’s one of my favorite singers. Before I moved to Nashville, I performed in a production of Jake reBeCCa Heggie’sJ WIllIe opera Dead Man Walking with Cincinnati Opera. She was one of the lead singers, and her voice is just incredible.

The Nashville Symphony will be returning to Schermerhorn Symphony Center at the end of the year. What makes you most excited about returning? It’s not just a beautiful hall, it’s also a place where we can focus on the energy of the performance — and the music-making is the most important thing. When we’re at the Schermerhorn, the acoustics make things so much better, because we can hear each other and we can hear the different parts of the orchestra. Sometimes, a section will have 10 people playing one part, or even sharing a melody with other instruments, and we have to watch and listen carefully to the sound, the length, the rhythm and the style of what we’re playing. I also love that we can interact with the audience, because we can see them so well from the stage. We send sound and energy out into the audience, and we receive energy back from them, which makes live performance a lot more interesting.

Do you have a favorite composer? I don’t have a favorite. Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Sibelius, Richard Strauss — I love them all, because each of them is different.

Who’s your favorite non-classical musician? Elvis Presley — I love his songs, his character, his voice. Also, The Carpenters — Karen Carpenter’s voice is so beautiful, and the melodies and the orchestration are so simple and direct.

What got you interested in playing music? When I was about 6 or 7 years old, I started playing the er-hu, which is a traditional Chinese stringed instrument. I just loved the sound, and every day after school at 4:30, I’d go home and practice. All my neighbors would think, ‘This kid is funny,’ because I loved it so much. My parents didn’t have to push me or anything; it’d be lunchtime or dinnertime, and I’d still be practicing! Later, I played piano and violin, and then I switched to cello, because I love that deep, rich, dark, beautiful sound.

What would you be doing if you weren’t a professional musician? I can’t imagine not being a musician. But if I weren’t, I’d probably be a teacher, because my father is a teacher, and I love helping people.

Right now, I’m teaching as an adjunct cello professor at MTSU. What do you like to do when you’re not performing with the orchestra? The city where I grew up, Shantou, is near the Chinese coast, so I love anything that relates to water. I like to swim, and in the summer, I go kayaking on Percy Priest Lake. I love birds too; I used to have finches.

Fifth Third’s success in Nashville since debuting here six years ago is a glowing testament to the local talent, community involvement and uncompromising service standards upon which its client relationships are built.

This year, american airlines introduced two commercials as an expression of gratitude and tribute to U.S. troops.

The ads tell the stories of traveling soldiers who are thanked for their service by AA employees and passengers. “Putting Them First” follows a young Marine as she boards her flight. Fellow passengers step aside, smiling and acknowledging her, and a veteran rises, saluting in perfect military form. The commercials close with an invitation to join American in support of the troops and to visit our “Join Us” website at www.aa.com/JoinUs. More than 60 percent of American’s pilots are active military or veterans, and our company and employees show support for U.S. soldiers by donating money, miles and time. You may also have seen them upgraded on your flight or heard our announcements thanking them for their service. During World War II, our first CEO, C.R. Smith, joined the Army Air Forces to oversee our nation’s commercial airlines, and American’s commitment to honor the bravery and dedication of those who serve has never wavered.

JohN taveNer born on January 28, 1944, in London; currently resides in Dorset in southwest england Popule Meus John Tavener composed Popule Meus in 2009 on a commission from Kathryn Gould for the magnum Opus project. rejecting the familiar Western model of art as self-expression or art for art’s sake, Tavener instead approaches music as a vehicle for spiritual enlightenment.

First performance: February 6, 2010, in Winnipeg, with Alexander mickelthwate conducting the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and cellist Yuri Hooker as soloist First Nashville Symphony performance: These are the orchestra’s first performances estimated length: 14 minutes recommended listening: Tavener’s original releases on Apple records, The Whale and Celtic Requiem, have recently been remastered on cD. Steven Isserlis has recorded The Protecting Veil with Gennady rozhdestvensky and the London Symphony (emI). John Tavener: A Portrait (Naxos) offers an excellent 2-cD overview, along with a rare interview with the composer.

“I think the Sacred can happen anytime, in any place, in any genre,” says John Tavener. “What is most important is that we remain totally transparent, totally vulnerable and totally open.” The British composer has followed this conviction through a prolific body of works that approach music as a vehicle for spiritual enlightenment. Like so many others in his generation, Tavener went through a period of avant-garde experimentation but ultimately turned his back on modernist preoccupations, focusing instead on what he has termed “the essence of music” — an essence stripped to barest simplicity and unburdened by the distractions of the ego. tavener in popular culture The Whale, Tavener’s cantata on the biblical story of Jonah and the Whale first brought the whale, resorted to outlandish performance-art tactics.

Subtitled “A Meditation,” Popule Meus is a musical allegory of the human condition, set against a transcendent, ultimate reality. Tavener contrasts the brutally intense strokes from the timpani with the soaring phrases of the solo cello, which Tavener asks to be played “with deep compassion” and “abounding in bliss and serenity.” The string ensemble wavers between these two poles, plucking away in improvised, “random and chaotic” outbursts, and then cushioning the microtonal keening of the cello’s melody in sustained harmonies.

Tavener describes his inspiration as follows: “Popule Meus is a meditation on the Judaic and Christian text ‘O my People, what have I done to you?,’ but it is also a Universalist contemplation of the wholesale rejection of God by modern man. However much man rejects God, he cannot escape Him, and indeed he is condemned to the supernatural by his deiform nature.

In Hindu terms he is the Absolute — Ayam Ātmā Brahma (The Self is the Absolute).

“In this work the Solo Cello is the all-compassionate one, while the timpani represent man in

his vain and pointless rejection. Although the solo cello and strings, and the timpani, share the same material (four ideas are gradually revealed, and they revolve four times during the piece), the timpani music is violent and becomes increasingly frenzied and contracted, while the cello and strings remain still and serene.

“So even in winning, the Darkness loses, and even in losing the Light wins. Passion, Resurrection and Redemption; or in Hindu terms Ātma (The Absolute) alone is real, Māyā (The Relative) is merely illusion.”

Popule Meus is scored for solo cello, timpani, and string orchestra. aNtoNiN dvoŘÁk born on September 8, 1841, in the village of Nelahozeves, just north of Prague; died on may 1, 1904, in Prague Serenade for Winds in D minor, Op. 44 Dvořák composed his Wind Serenade in just two weeks in January 1878. This relatively early work is a delightful, melody-rich example of Dvořák’s infectious blend of musical traits from his native bohemia with the classical tradition.

antonIn dvoŘák

First performance: November 15, 1878, in Prague, with the composer conducting First Nashville Symphony performance: These are the Nashville Symphony’s first performances. estimated length: 24 minutes recommended listening: The classic recording by Neville marriner and the Academy of St. martin in the Fields (Philips) is paired with another marvelous and popular serenade, the one Dvořák wrote for string ensemble (in e major, Op. 22).

Dvořák was a prolific creator in almost all the major musical media of his time, from operas and choral music to symphonies, concertos and chamber pieces. While he took the great classical tradition of Central Europe as his model, Dvořák invested his compositions with a signature warmth, invention and ear for melody and color. His sensitivity to vernacular idioms outside the classical mainstream — whether of his Bohemian homeland or in the music he encountered during his later sojourn in the United States — enlivens his work with a robust, durable vitality.

These traits are already apparent in the works this unpretentious musician was writing shortly before he made his breakthrough with the public in 1878 with his first series of Slavonic Dances (originally composed for piano four hands and later orchestrated). In the mid 1870s, a series of grants helped buy Dvořák more time from his day job as church organist to compose. The Serenade for Winds launched the auspicious and productive year of 1878, when the young composer was clearly bursting with creative ideas and optimism about his future. Brahms had recently announced himself an admirer, and became an important advocate of Dvořák by recommending him to his publisher.

For the woodwind serenade as a genre, Dvořák had a rich model in the classical period, above all in Mozart’s examples. But he also draws on his experience of village woodwind bands, which remained an important medium for music-making in Bohemia. Although the main musical material of Dvořák’s Serenade is entrusted to the woodwinds, he incorporated lines for solo cello and double bass (with optional contrabassoon) to anchor things down below. Yet even without a flute on top to sweeten the mix, and in spite of the ominous home key of D minor, the Serenade exudes a captivating, buoyant air.

What to listen for The four-movement work shows the composer’s knack for adapting classical forms without fussy pedantry. Dvořák teasingly alludes to the past with the opening movement’s mock pomp. The strutting stride of this march, with the bassoon’s busy linking passages, seems to conjure a band that wants to take itself far too seriously. The march is a typical way to launch a classical serenade, but the light cheerfulness of the contrasting theme soon dispels the highfalutin ceremony. All the while, Dvořák flexes his compositional muscle by subtly developing his motivic ideas. (Notice how he works back to the march’s signature dotted rhythm.)

The term “Minuet” itself suggests a quaint homage to an old-fashioned classical dance form, yet into this shell Dvořák inserts very up-to-date folk dance rhythms from daily Czech life in the countryside. An exuberantly syncopated middle section tosses aside any notions of daintiness and seems to make room for the village drunk.

After the second movement’s blend of pastoral and wedding-party imagery comes one of Dvořák’s most arrestingly beautiful slow movements. The heart of the work, the Andante marks a true tribute to Mozart, evoking the lofty lyricism of the latter’s Gran Partita (the Serenade No. 10, K. 361). Against the seemingly unpromising background of “wheezing” harmonies from the lower voices, a haunting threenote fragment echoes and is traded between the oboe and other instruments as the movement builds in emotional intensity. Especially remarkable here is the way Dvořák weaves this brief fragment into his sense of long, flowing melody. A frisky, impetuous theme recurs in rondo fashion for the Serenade’s finale. Once again with a mocking wink, Dvořák gives the march-pomp of the opening one final say before the village drunk returns with his fellow revelers to strike up the band and pull the curtain.

The Serenade for Winds is scored for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns, solo cello and double bass edWard elGar born on June 2, 1857, in the village of Lower broadheath outside Worcester, in the midlands of england; died on February 23, 1934, in Worcester Concerto for Cello in E minor, Op. 85 elgar composed his cello concerto between march and August 1919 and dedicated the score to his friends Sidney and Frances colvin. The last major work for orchestra that elgar completed, the cello concerto is imbued with an elegiac sense of romanticism at its sunset. It seems to express the composer’s awareness that the era to which he had given voice was at an end.

The Cello Concerto was Elgar’s last completed full-scale composition for orchestra.

Although he didn’t necessarily intend it as a valedictory statement, the score is full of backward glances. The music seems to sift yearningly for some meaning to hold on to in the wake of World War I, which had forever shattered the old certainties. The Concerto’s autumnal sensibility was exploited to underscore the flashback technique used so prominently in Hilary and Jackie, the 1998 musical biopic about cellist Jacqueline du Pré, who made the piece into a personal signature.

We often hear about the profound and enduring impact World War II had on musical thought, prompting the avantgarde to conceive of a “zero hour” that rejected tradition and started anew from the ruins. But the unprecedented devastation of World War I also left a powerful impression on composers. (Ravel, for example, who had enlisted and witnessed the battlefields of France, famously encapsulated his sense of civilization in decay in his choreographic poem La Valse.) As the war was nearing its end, Elgar retired from London to his beloved countryside in Sussex, seeking to be closer to the healing powers of nature. He experienced a late-career burst of inspiration with a series of chamber music works and the Cello Concerto. Elgar’s brand of romanticism owed much to the wellspring of the Central European tradition, now so tainted by the guilt-by-association that was one of the war’s aftereffects.

Though the world premiere of the Cello Concerto was a fiasco, the work soon won its position as a

11/16/10 1:10 PM

repertory favorite. Elgar himself conducted the first recording (in an abridged version) the following year.

In some ways, the Concerto continues the more economical and compressed line of thinking Elgar had been exploring in his recent chamber works. The composer had developed a sudden interest in chamber music toward the end of the war, perhaps resulting from the need for a more intimate form of expression.

What to listen for The cello comes into the spotlight at the very start with a dramatic recitative. It immediately establishes the vivid presence of the soloist, which is maintained throughout the work, whether the mood tends toward profound contemplation or passionate expression. Elgar dramatizes the interplay between orchestra and soloist with continually inventive touches, as if each is inciting the other. For example, the violas first trace the elegiac main theme — so recognizable from its lilting, wavelike motion — before the cello elaborates its deeper implications. This is the theme that recurs in Hilary and Jackie as the identifying “tag” for the whole Concerto. Meanwhile, another kind of melancholy emerges in the second theme. In the contrast between the two, Elgar could almost be suggesting the difference between public and private grief.

There is an extraordinary transition into the next movement with another recitative, now based on low plucked notes. The soloist seems reluctant to set melancholy aside, but a lighthearted scherzo ensues, pulsing with rapid-fire repeat notes. The Adagio’s lengthy melody distills a profound sense of tragedy and leave-taking, but it is free of the slightest touch of self-pity in its serene resignation. Elgar eloquently conveys the experience all of us know whereby the same memory can simultaneously provide consolation and trigger pain.

As a result of the Concerto’s unusual formal design, the finale is the longest of its four movements. Once more, a recitative-like cadenza for the cellist serves as a transition from the Adagio and a prelude before the finale proper is launched. Springing to life with a lively main theme, this highly varied movement proceeds with much drama as it alternates between confident assertions and somber introspection. Toward the end, a slower, graver theme calls forth the cellist’s fullest eloquence. Flashbacks to previously heard material cast a shadow against the music’s dying glow, before the tempo quickens for Elgar’s impassioned adieu.

In addition to the soloist, the Cello Concerto calls for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani and strings.

As with so many of his compositions, details about the creation and dating of Bach’s four orchestral suites are hard to establish.

According to recent scholarly research, the Suite No. 3 in D Major appears to have originated in a version for strings alone from the composer’s period as Kapellmeister in Cöthen (1717-23) — a period when he had more opportunities to write secular music, including the Brandenburg Concertos.

In the early 1730s, during his Leipzig years, Bach then revised the Suite, enriching the score with trumpets, oboes and timpani.

Along with his church-centered duties as the city’s music director, the tireless Bach was also involved in purely secular musical undertakings. One of these involved leading a group known as the Collegium Musicum.

This long-standing civic institution in Leipzig, which had been founded by Telemann, was an ensemble of local musicians who gathered weekly for performances at Zimmermann’s Coffee House in Leipzig — the café that Bach immortalized in his “Coffee Cantata.” The Collegium and its concerts offered Bach an opportunity to try out some of his new or revised instrumental pieces.

For all his intimidating formal complexity, Bach, who epitomizes the most-developed state of Baroque style, is hardly an “academic” composer — as the melodic delights and festive, rhythmic vigor of this piece easily bear out.

Like Shakespeare, Bach offers something for everyone, across all levels of knowledge and background. His manipulation of dance rhythms keeps us aware of his music’s earthy as well as its ethereal impulses. The Third Suite may represent a more entertaining, relaxed style than is usually found with Bach, but his standards of craftsmanship for the Zimmermann players remained as high as ever.

What to listen for Bach calls the four orchestral suites “Overtures” because of the prominent dimensions of their opening movements. “Overture” in his sense indicates a part that stands for a whole. The

34

•IC-1011-DEC.indd 34

D e c e m be r

Third Suite actually consists of five movements that vary in mood and flavor, with popular dance idioms of the day frequently used as models. At the same time, all five movements are in D Major, a key whose festive character Bach emphasizes in the exuberant scoring of the Overture.

Ever the internationalist, Bach taps into various European musical styles of his era. For example, a distinctly French style permeates the Overture, the longest of the five movements. Its three divisions consist of a slow introduction based on majestic dotted rhythms, followed by a swift, spirited fugue, and then a return of the opening motifs in somewhat altered form.

Bach inserts a perfect contrast with the slower “Air,” scored for strings and continuo alone and an oasis of lyricism. Its gorgeous, soulstirring beauty reminds us that Bach, for all his contrapuntal genius, counts among the greatest melodists. Trading French ceremonial pomp for Italianate song, Bach gives us a wordless aria in this seemingly endless melody, which contains surprising turns of phrase and of harmonic color within its continuous flow, all punctuated by the ticking clock of the bass line. Procol Harum’s riffing on the tune in the rock classic “A Whiter Shade of Pale” is just one of many homages paid to this music.

The remaining three movements are modeled on well-known French dances of the Baroque, each having a distinct rhythmic profile. The gavotte, with its duple meter, was a favorite of the Sun King’s court, as was the bourrée — though both have clearly folk origins. The lively, toetapping meter of the gigue makes it an effective choice for the concluding movement.

The Suite No. 3 for Orchestra in D major is scored for 2 oboes, 3 trumpets, timpani, strings and continuo.

about the artists SteveN iSSerliS, cello Acclaimed worldwide for his technique and musicianship, British cellist Steven Isserlis enjoys a distinguished career as a soloist, chamber musician and educator. His 2010/11 season includes appearances with The Cleveland Orchestra, NHK Symphony, the Philharmonia Orchestra, Vienna Symphony, Washington National Symphony and Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic.

He will perform the world premiere of the surviving fragment of Vaughan Williams’s Steven ISSerlIS Cello Concerto in a completion by David Matthews at the BBC Proms.

Isserlis takes a strong interest in authentic performance and has played with many of the foremost period instrument orchestras, including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment with Simon Rattle and Philharmonia Baroque with Nicholas McGegan. In 2010/11, he will tour with the Academy of Ancient Music and Richard Egarr.

He is also a keen exponent of contemporary music, and in 2006 he gave the world premiere of Wolfgang Rihm’s Cello Concerto at the Salzburg Festival. At the 2009 Aldeburgh Festival, he premiered Thomas Adès’s new work for cello and piano, Lieux retrouvés, together with the composer.

Writing and playing for children is another major interest for Isserlis. His books for children about the lives of the great composers — Why Beethoven Threw the Stew and its sequel, Why Handel Waggled his Wig — are published by Faber and Faber, and both books have been translated into many languages. He has recorded a CD for BIS with Stephen Hough entitled Children’s Cello, and with composer Anne Dudley he has written three musical stories for children published by Universal Edition.

With an award-winning discography, Steven Isserlis’s recordings reflect his diverse interests in repertoire. His recording of the complete Solo Cello Suites by Bach for Hyperion met with the highest critical acclaim and was Gramophone magazine’s

Instrumental Disc of the Year. The recipient of many honors, Isserlis was awarded a CBE in 1998 in recognition of his services to music, and in 2000 he received the Schumann Prize of the City of Zwickau. aNGela Fuller, guest concertmaster Violinist Angela Fuller has served as principal second violin of the Dallas Symphony since September 2009.

GeorGe Frideric haNdel born on February 23, 1685, in Halle, Germany; died on April 14, 1759, in London, england Messiah Handel famously composed the first version of Messiah in just a little over three weeks — between August 22 and September 14, 1741 — but continued to make changes to the score during numerous subsequent revivals of the work. george FrIderIC handel Messiah has become the quintessential model of the oratorio, but it actually represents a departure for Handel and initially met some resistance from early audiences. Handel’s genius here is to express the universal emotions underlying the work’s meditation on the christian story of redemption.

First performance: April 13, 1742, in the Great music Hall in Dublin, following a public rehearsal on April 9 First Nashville Symphony performance: December 15, 1963, with music Director Willis Page estimated length: 2 hours and 20 minutes in performance, with a 20-minute intermission recommended listening: As with beethoven symphonies, there’s an entire library of Messiah recordings to choose from. For a period-instrument approach, christopher Hogwood’s account with the Academy of Ancient music (Decca) remains a top recommendation. The 1966 recording by colin Davis with the London Symphony Orchestra and chorus (Philips) is a much-loved performance, and you can get a sense of how past generations approached Messiah from Sir Thomas beecham’s legendary interpretation with the royal Philharmonic (bmG), with its stylistically incorrect but thrilling re-orchestration (including tuba and cymbals).

For further exploration: To learn more about this oratorio’s fascinating history, richard Luckett provides an engrossing overview in his 1992 book, Handel’s Messiah: A Celebration (Harcourt brace).

For these performances, conductor Giancarlo Guerrero and chorus director George Mabry follow the Bärenreiter edition prepared by John Tobin. In addition to four vocal soloists and four-part chorus, these performances call for an orchestra of 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings and continuo.

The entire career of George Frideric Handel might be seen as an illustration of that favorite symbol of 18th-century England: the wheel of fortune. As a German who settled in London and wrote operas in Italian, his reputation reached delirious heights, but then fate turned against him and Handel found himself on the brink of ruin. Still, he managed to reinvent himself by developing the English oratorio (essentially, opera without the costumes) and soared again.

Ironically, Messiah posed a new set of risks on account of its subject matter and initially threatened to alienate some of Handel’s London audiences. Yet by the end of his life, Messiah was poised to take its place as the most representative of Handel’s creations, eclipsing his other oratorios, his several dozen operas and his instrumental music. In fact, its enduring popularity ensured Messiah’s status well before the idea of a core repertory for classical music had emerged.

Messiah belongs to the crucial transition point in Handel’s career when he shifted his focus away from the style of tragic opera (opera seria) on which his London career had been largely based. Opera seria was set to Italian librettos portraying mythological or historical figures and showcased the star singers of the era. By the late 1730s, it was becoming an unsustainable business model, thanks in part to the high costs of production, but also to a shift in public taste.

Italian operas altogether and concentrated mostly on oratorios in English.

Oratorio originated in Italy at the same time as opera and similarly presents a kind of musical drama. But the stories it recounts tend to be biblical in nature, and they are performed without costumes or scenery. The chorus, too, which usually has a very minor role in the aria-centered opera seria, takes on a far more prominent role. “Oratorio” comes from the Italian for a hall of prayer, but by Handel’s time works of this genre were performed in secular venues as a substitute for opera. Handel began introducing his style of English oratorio to the public in a string of works throughout the 1730s.

A neat definition of Handel’s approach to oratorio appears in the preface to Samson (a “twin” to Messiah, on which the composer embarked just two weeks after completing the latter). An oratorio, writes Samson’s librettist Newburgh Hamilton, is “a musical drama, whose subject must be Scriptural, and in which the Solemnity of Church-Musick is agreeably united with the most pleasing Airs of the Stage” — a genre, in other words, that can have it both ways. A sense of moral uplift is delivered with the entertainment value of opera, but without its expense and fussy, overpaid egos.

The oratorio’s association with the sphere of secular performance generated some initial resistance to Messiah. (See the sidebar on p. 52.) Within a few years, though, the fretting subsided, and during his last decade, Handel conducted annual performances that became a highlight of the season. These were always given in the spring, at Eastertide. It was only after his death that the association of Messiah with the Christmas season took root. Handel also introduced changes at several of these revivals, mainly consisting of substitutions or rewrites of arias. They reflected practical performance conditions, taking into account the limitations or strengths of the particular soloists on hand. For example, for the revival of 1750 he had the castrato alto Gaetano Guadagni on hand and recast “But who may abide the day of his coming” to include a dizzyingly virtuosic setting of the image of “a refiner’s fire” — one of many remarkable instances of Handelian word painting.

What to listen for There is, simply put, no “gold standard” or final version of Messiah’s score, since it was so often altered. Add to this a rich but complicated history of performance traditions in the 250-plus years since the first Messiah — including a tendency to expand both choral and orchestral forces — and you can see that the first step in interpreting the work involves significant decisions about what precisely to perform. Recently, there has been a vogue to re-create a particular version as closely as possible. More typically, as in the performance we hear tonight, one of the scholarly editions published in the 20th century is used as the basis, with cuts usually made in the second and especially third parts.

Although we tend to think of Messiah as the quintessential English oratorio, its text represents an unusual approach to the genre. Librettist Charles Jennens juxtaposes extracts from both the Old and New Testaments to represent the basic narrative of Christian redemption. Rather than a biographical sketch of the life of Jesus, Messiah concerns the very idea of divinity becoming manifest in human history (hence the lack of a definite article — “The” — in its title).

There is very little dramatic impersonation of characters: The narrative is indirect and suggestive — and, as has been often noted, downright confusing to anyone not familiar with the implied events involving the life of Jesus. Jennens divides the libretto into three acts, or parts, much like the organization of a Baroque opera. Part One centers around prophecy and the nativity of Jesus, ending with his miracles. (This is the part of the oratorio most closely tied to the Christmas season.) Following its evocation of hope comes a taut version of the Passion story in Part Two. Part Three concludes with the implications of Christ’s redemption of humanity from the fall of Adam.

Yet Handel’s musical expression homes in on the universal emotions that underlie each stage of the Christian redemption narrative. He was above all a man of the theater, and his “operatic” genius for establishing the mood to suit a given situation is everywhere apparent. In opera, Handel typically

accomplishes this through a lengthy chain of arias. The structure of Messiah deploys greater diversity: Part One establishes a pattern of recitative, aria and chorus, which then allows for further variation in the other two parts. Handel moreover draws on the gamut of international styles of his era, mixing highly wrought, thrilling counterpoint alongside simple Italianate lyricism and homophonic choruses. And with great economy of means, he presents an astonishing range of colors in his development of accompanying textures. Notice, for example, how he withholds the trumpets in Part One until “Glory to God” and then keeps them silent again until the “Hallelujah!” chorus at the end of Part Two (which, incidentally,

‘Messiah’ stirs controversy after producing a highly successful subscription series of oratorios and operas in dublin, handel concluded it with the world premiere of messiah in the spring of 1742. the dublin audience acclaimed the new work, but it became a controversial topic when the composer introduced it to london the next year. debates raged in the press over messiah’s method of setting actual scriptural texts. the work’s use of Jesus for a secular genre that could be performed “for diversion and amusement” even triggered charges of blasphemy — although these were leveled against the secular context of the performances rather than handel’s music itself.

refers not to the moment of Christ’s resurrection but to the triumph of redemption).

Consider, too, the compelling psychological range Handel explores, encompassing SMASHING performanceS. in Part One alone the fathomless Tickets: darkness of waiting for a savior, the oasis-like calm of 615-770-PUCK the instrumental “Pastoral nashvillepredators.com Symphony” (Pifa refers to ticketmaster.com the music of shepherds) and the dancing exuberance of “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion.” Handel continually finds inventive ways to “paint” the words through music — witness the “straying” lines of “All we like sheep” — but subtler surprises are often hidden within as well.

The same chorus shifts from a cheerful demeanor into the tragic minor when the consequences of human failure are addressed.

By the end of Part Three, 10/25/10 amid all this variety, Handel 10nashpr4240 PerformingArts.indd 1 has traced a trajectory that will later become familiar in the symphonies of Beethoven: the passage from darkness to enlightenment and final victory. Even after the seemingly unstoppable “Hallelujah!” chorus, there is glorious music yet to follow: the soaring certainty of “The trumpet shall sound” and the progression of the choral finale, with its fugal setting of “Amen.” As the voices weave their threads together, that final word becomes all-encompassing in its resonance — a serenely chanted, transporting “Om.”

about the artists

platypuS theatre Since 1989, Canada’s Platypus Theatre has been creating intelligent, entertaining programs that bring classical music to life for children.

Critics, educators, musicians, parents and children have lauded the company’s performances for their creativity, originality and high production standards. Platypus’ seven original programs have been seen by more than a halfmillion spectators in Canada, the United States, Southeast Asia and Australia.

After nearly 400 concerts with more than 60 orchestras worldwide, Platypus Theatre has gained an unrivaled reputation for excellence in music education. In 2006, in collaboration with TV Ontario, Trace Pictures and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Platypus Theatre created a television adaptation of its popular program “How the Gimquat Found Her Song.” The film was broadcast six times on TVO and won an Award of Excellence at the 2007 Accolade Television Awards. It also won Best Children’s Program at the prestigious 2008 Banff World Television Festival. The film is now available on DVD at www.platypustheatre.com.

Platypus Theatre was also the subject of a nationally broadcast documentary made by CTV/ CKCO Kitchener in 1991, and of a PBS television full-performance broadcast on UNC-TV in North Carolina in 2000. In addition to “Gimquat,” the company’s programs include: “Emily Saves the Orchestra,” “Rhythm in Your Rubbish,” “Bach to the Future,” “Song of the Forest,” “Charlotte and the Music-Maker” and “A Flicker of Light on a Winter’s Night.” peter duScheNeS, Artistic Director, writer and actor The co-founder and artistic director of Platypus Theatre, Peter Duschenes has been widely praised for his innovative approach to presenting symphonic music for young audiences.

His ability to bring the concert stage to life by combining theater and music has led to numerous commissions with orchestras across Canada. An

award-winning playwright, Duschenes has written all seven of Platypus’s symphony plays as well as the one-act play Lost River, which was the winner of Peter duSCheneS Theatre BC’s Canadian National Playwriting competition in 1991. As an actor, Duschenes has performed with companies across Canada and the United States, appearing most recently as Richard in Shakespeare’s Richard II at Quantum Theatre in Pittsburgh, and as Louis Ironson in Angels in America at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal. Duschenes received his MFA in theater from the California Institute of the Arts in 1988 and now lives in Ottawa with his wife Sarah and their two children, Magda and Theo. trevor p. WaGler, arranger Canadian composer and arranger Trevor P. Wagler first discovered his affinity for arranging music as a teenager, when he was asked to transcribe Top 40 songs for his high school band.

He had already been playing piano since age 8 and had added French horn in seventh grade, so music seemed to be a natural career choice.

After high school, Wagler received a bachelor’s degree in music composition and a master’s degree in French horn performance. He has since donned many hats in the musical community.

In addition to meeting an increasing demand for new compositions and arrangements, he has also performed regularly with several Canadian orchestras as a freelance French horn player.

Meanwhile, he has also run both a successful arts academy (Renaissance School of the Arts) and a music publishing company (Flamingo Soup Music Publishing). He currently teaches orchestration at Wilfrid Laurier University, and is the conductor of several local ensembles. He also

serves as the organist at his church.

Wagler studied composition with Canadian composers Peter Hatch, Glenn Buhr and Melissa Hui. As a self-taught arranger, he has earned a strong reputation for the high quality and creative flair of his orchestral arrangements. His work has been performed throughout Canada and around the globe by many world-class orchestras, largely due to the far-reaching appeal of Platypus Theatre’s productions. Wagler has also written arrangements for the Canadian Chamber Ensemble, Licorice Allsorts clarinet quartet, the UWO Convocation Brass, and for Canadian trumpet sensation Guy Few. His arrangements can periodically be heard nationwide on CBC radio. Wagler resides in scenic Waterloo, Ontario, with his wife, flutist Wendy Wagler, and their daughter Nina.

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 and Roberto Sierra. In the fall of 2009, Naxos released a recording of Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony performing works by Michael Daugherty. This coming season, Guerrero and the orchestra have two more recordings planned for release on Naxos, the first featuring the music of Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla and the second featuring American composer Joseph Schwantner.

Photo by davId BaIley 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 twoweek 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.

Last season, Guerrero made his Boston Symphony Orchestra debut at Tanglewood and returned to the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Mann Center. His European engagements included return appearances with Lisbon’s Gulbenkian Orchestra and his U.K. debut with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. In recent seasons he has appeared with many of the major North American orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of 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, where he first appeared with the orchestra in 2005.

Equally at home with opera, Guerrero works regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème, and Rigoletto. 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 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, where he made his subscription debut in March 2000 leading the world premiere of John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria on the Ghosts of Versailles.

Help the nashville Symphony plan for the Future When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support.

You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family.

Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists.

To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please contact Holly Noble, Special Campaigns Coordinator, at 615.687.6529 or hnoble@nashvillesymphony.org.

Nashville Symphony Legacy Society The Legacy Society honors those patrons who have included the Symphony in their estate planning. anonymous Barbara B. & Michael W.
