12 Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity Jonathan Marx
On September 10 and 12, the orchestra will open the 2010/11 season with Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, popularly known as the “Symphony of a Thousand” because of the massive forces required to stage this work. This once-in-a-lifetime event will be the Nashville Symphony’s most ambitious undertaking to date, with more than 400 musicians onstage. It will also set the tone for the rest of the season, which includes such highlights as Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Holst’s The Planets.

I love conducting classical concerts, but I also welcome the change of pace because it gives me a chance to connect with all of our audiences.
his month at the Schermerhorn, I’m doing things a little differently: Instead of conducting the Nashville Symphony’s SunTrust Classical Series, I’ll be at the podium for our February 18-20 Bank of America Pops Series concerts featuring John McDermott and Cherish the Ladies. On the morning of February 20, I’ll also be conducting Peter and the Wolf, the latest installment in The Ann & Monroe Carell Family Trust Pied Piper Series, and my wife Shirley will join me onstage later that day to narrate a special Spanish-language presentation of Prokofiev’s delightful piece. I love conducting classical concerts, but I also welcome the change of pace because it gives me a chance to connect with all of our audiences, and to appreciate what a remarkable and versatile group of musicians we have in the Nashville Symphony. In the midst of so much activity this month, I’m already looking ahead to the 2010/11 season, which promises to build on all of the excitement of this one. We’ll kick things off in September with a landmark performance of Mahler’s “Symphony of a Thousand,” which will be the biggest-ever production yet at the Schermerhorn, with more than 400 musicians onstage. From there, we’ll move full steam ahead into a season packed with fantastic music, including Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Holst’s The Planets, to name just two beloved favorites. You’ll experience these pieces in a whole new way in the acoustical splendor of Laura Turner Concert Hall. We’ll also be welcoming some familiar faces back to Nashville in 2010/11, among them guest conductors Leonard Slatkin and Nicholas McGegan — musicians who have developed the perfect chemistry with our orchestra and have built an equally strong rapport with our audiences. There’s so much more to come — pianist André Watts performing Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto and violinist Robert McDuffie performing a new concerto by Philip Glass, to name only two more highlights — and you can read all about it in the story on page 12 of this month’s program guide. In the meantime, we have plenty of wonderful music to enjoy in February and for the rest of the 2009/10 season. I look forward to seeing you here at the Schermerhorn and thank you for your patronage of the Nashville Symphony.

Look forward to warm weather and great music at First Tennessee Summer Festival The Nashville Symphony has announced the programs for its annual First Tennessee Summer Festival, taking place this June and July at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. These festive, casual concerts are the perfect soundtrack for a warm summer’s evening, complete with pre-concert dining and entertainment. The series kicks off on June 4 and 5 with Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero conducting Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony and Rachmaninoff ’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, the latter of which will feature world-renowned pianist Misha Dichter. The orchestra will also perform two recent pieces by one of America’s leading composers, Joseph Schwantner, which will be recorded for future release. On June 18 and 19, Assistant Conductor Kelly Corcoran will lead a program highlighted by chamber ensemble the Claremont Trio performing Beethoven’s Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano. Other pieces on the program include Brahms’ Fourth Symphony and Telemann’s Concerto for Three Oboes, Violins and Continuo, the latter of which will showcase Nashville Symphony oboists Bobby Taylor, Ellen Menking and Roger Wiesmeyer. The 2010 Summer Festival comes to a close on July 9 and 10, when Guerrero conducts Haydn’s Drum Roll Symphony — so called for the distinctive timpani part that opens the work. On the same program, Christopher Lamb, principal percussionist for the New York Philharmonic, will be the featured soloist in a Percussion Concerto by Schwantner, also to be recorded for an upcoming release. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit NashvilleSymphony.org or call the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Box Office at 615.687.6400. Enjoy music, wine, conversation at free OnStage programs If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about the music you hear at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Nashville Symphony invites you to take part in OnStage at the Schermerhorn. This fun, relaxed and intellectually stimulating program provides adult audiences with the opportunity to sit on the stage of Laura Turner Concert Hall and discuss a variety of musical topics with members of the orchestra. Hosted monthly, the free evening of music and conversation includes wine and hors d’oeuvres. The next OnStage program will take place 5:30-7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 9, when members of the orchestra and Music City Baroque will perform works by Bach and other Baroque composers, and they’ll discuss the differences between performing on period instruments and on modern instruments. Reservations are required; email education@nashvillesymphony.org or call 615.687.6398. There are several more OnStage programs planned this season. On March 16, Roger Wiesmeyer and Michael Rose will discuss and perform a transcription of Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 for piano four hands, and on April 14, Assistant Conductor Kelly Corcoran will talk about the art of conducting. The OnStage season closes with a May 5 program featuring members of the chamber ensemble ALIAS performing work by Gabriela Lena Frank. Reservations for each session open two weeks prior to the event. For more information, visit NashvilleSymphony.org/education. OnStage at the Schermerhorn is made possible in part by The Wachovia Foundation, A Wells Fargo Company.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity Monumental Mahler symphony sets the tone for the Nashville Symphony's 2010/11 Season By Jonathan Marx
To get a feel for the size and scope of the the time is right for the Nashville Symphony to Nashville Symphony’s recently announced undertake this piece in particular. “It has been 2010/11 season, concertgoers need only look four years since the opening of Schermerhorn at the opening event in what promises to be Symphony Center, and until now we’ve never a momentous year of music at Schermerhorn used the hall to its full potential. This is the ideal Symphony Center. On September 10 and 12, place to do the Symphony of a Thousand, not 2010, the stage of Laura Turner Concert Hall just because of the acoustics, but also because we will be filled to capacity as the orchestra, two can easily increase the size of the stage by using a full choruses, a children’s system of lifts.” chorus and eight guest In addition to opening Not only is Mahler’s vocalists launch what may with Mahler, the 2010/11 Eighth an incredible well be the most ambitious season will come to a close spectacle for the work in the orchestral on June 2-4, 2011, with a repertoire: Gustav Mahler’s performance of the Austrian audience and a Symphony No. 8, popularly composer’s Symphony No. near-impossible known as the “Symphony of 2 “Resurrection.” Guerrero a Thousand” because of the says there are several reasons undertaking for the massive forces required to why this approach made participants, but it is stage this work. sense. “We’ll be celebrating also a deeply moving Nashville Symphony two important anniversaries President and CEO Alan this year: 2010 is the piece of music. Valentine says Mahler’s Eighth sesquicentennial of Mahler’s “is one of those things that everyone should birth, and 2011 is the centennial of his death. I experience at least once in his or her lifetime. also see this season as kicking off a Mahler cycle Not only is it an incredible spectacle for the for the Nashville Symphony.

SunTrust Classical Series mixes old favorites, unheralded classics In between these two monumental Mahler symphonies, the SunTrust Classical Series will feature some of the best-loved and most important works in the repertoire, including Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring on November 4-6, 2010; Holst’s The Planets on February 17-19, 2011; and Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 on March 24-26, 2011. The slate of world-renowned guest artists includes pianist André Watts, who will perform Beethoven’s Emperor Piano Concerto on September 16-18, 2010, and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, who sang the final two movements of Mahler’s Second at the Schermerhorn’s gala opening in 2006 and will return in June 2011 to perform the entire work. Also of note is violinist Robert McDuffie, who will perform a new Philip Glass concerto written for him, on March 10-12, 2011. The upcoming season is filled with just as many unexpected delights — works that may be a little less familiar but have the potential to become new audience favorites. Guerrero cites as one example French composer Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem (November 18-20, 2010). “It’s one of the great vocal pieces of the 20th century,” he says. “It’s truly too beautiful for words, and I feel confident that people will leave the concert asking, ‘How come I’ve never heard this piece until now?’ ” Another is John Adams’ Dr. Atomic Symphony (September 16-18, 2010), adapted
from the composer’s opera about the first atomic bomb explosion at the Alamagordo test site in New Mexico. The opera has been called “a Götterdämmerung for our generation,” and the music in the symphonic version captures the powerful emotional complexities at the heart of the piece, ranging from moments of intense dread to passages of uncommon beauty. Guerrero is also enthusiastic about Bruckner’s Symphony No. 3 (April 7-9, 2011). “Here is a composer whose music, because of its vast sonorities, is perfectly suited for the Schermerhorn,” he says. “So you can count on hearing more Bruckner in the years to come. He was an organist, and he wrote all of his music from that point of view, which is another reason he’s so perfect for us: The organ is one of the first things you notice when you walk into the concert hall.” Bank of America Pops Series makes hometown connections Fans of the Nashville Symphony’s other concert series have just as much to look forward to in 2010/11. The Bank of America Pops Series will offer a dynamic mix of programs and firstrate guest performers, with a strong Nashville connection linking several of the artists. “We have such an array of fantastic talent right here at home, and I love being able to create the opportunity for them to do something really special,” says Resident Conductor Albert-George Schram, who will lead six of next season’s eight Pops evenings.

“When people perform at the Schermerhorn, with that big, lush sound of the orchestra behind them, it’s a kind of musical magic that you just can’t hear anywhere else.” First up in the Pops Series, on September 23-25, 2010, is Nashville-area resident Jewel Michael McDonald, the unmistakable voice behind such hits as “What a Fool Believes” and “Takin’ It to the Streets.” Singer-songwriter Jewel, who performs with the orchestra on November 11-13, 2010, is one of the biggest-selling artists of the past two decades and has recently reinvented herself as a country star, in the process becoming a strong Music City presence. The series closes on May 26-28, 2011, with one of Nashville’s finest homegrown talents, country singer Lorrie Morgan, whose knockout voice and charismatic stage presence will be making a splash on Broadway this spring in the musical Pure Country. Other shows in the Pops Series include an evening with pop singer Peter Cetera, another Nashville-area resident and formerly the voice of the group Chicago, on January 13-15, 2011; a celebration of the music of George and Ira Gershwin on October 14-16, 2010; and a tribute to Billy Joel featuring Michael Cavanaugh, the vocalist who starred in the hit Broadway show Movin’ Out, on May 5-7, 2011. To learn more about the Nashville Symphony’s 2010/11 season — including the Adams and Reese Jazz Series, which will bring both saxophonist David Sanborn (October 8, 2010) and guitarist Al Di Meola (March 18, 2011) to town — call the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Box Office at 615.687.6400 or visit NashvilleSymphony.org.

Bach, Brahms and Amore! Helmuth Rilling
BACH’S MASTERPIECE, March 4-6 Guest conductor Helmuth Rilling, worldrenowned as an expert on the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, will lead the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a performance of the composer’s Mass in B minor. Remarkable for its musical breadth and for its overarching sense of unity, this breathtaking work functions both as a deeply moving expression of spirituality and as an encyclopedic display of the composer’s genius. THAT’S AMORE!, March 11-13 Join the Nashville Symphony for an evening celebrating all things Italian, with music ranging from the yearning arias of Giuseppe Verdi to the smooth, swinging sounds of crooners like Frank Sinatra. Vocalist Deana Martin will pay a tribute to her famous father, Dean Martin, and versatile musician Frank Portone will perform songs made famous by the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti. It’ll be a night overflowing with drama, emotion and sweet, tuneful melodies.
Tracy Silverman
BRAHMS & ‘BIG SUR,’ March 18-20 This wonderfully varied evening of music will feature Brahms’ Symphony No. 3, an audience favorite beloved for its profound expressiveness and its alternating moods of heroism and introspection. The evening’s featured soloist, electric violinist Tracy Silverman, is one of Nashville’s most singular talents — composer John Adams wrote the transcendently beautiful The Dharma at Big Sur just for him. Guest conductor Carlos Kalmar close the evening with a work by Alberto Ginastera that evokes visions of South American cowboys riding through Argentina’s expansive prairies.

JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER ORCHESTRA WITH WYNTON MARSALIS, March 26 Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis remains one of America’s preeminent jazz artists, and with good reason. As leader of the esteemed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, he has helped to preserve, celebrate and enrich the distinctly American art form of jazz music.

About the Program
I. THE GODS A dialogue is presented between man and his Gods as a summary of Aztec theology. We dance in the fields of divine mystery, and we go beyond Life to touch on the beginning of Creation. In this dance, there is a specific place for the Sun and the Moon, the Gods of War, the Flowers and the Myths, and they are all implicit in a movement that charms us yet at the same time terrifies our hearts. We hear familiar rhythms that cause our souls to magically recall strange experiences and sensations that have to do with Life and Death: offerings to the Gods, feasts for the people, to hide the horror of the Unknown; destruction, hunger and sacrifice. All of these things are transformed before our eyes into music and dance. The Gods of the Four Cardinal Points are responsible for giving Life, and Man celebrates this in a dance, offering his sacrifice. He lights up the stage where he lives with faith; simultaneously, the fumes of incense that float to the deepest recesses of the world try to uproot the evil that stalks his Paradise. II. GUERRERO Guerrero: The title comes from the name of the hero Vicente Guerrero, who had warrior-like courage — a quality that translates in Spanish as guerrero. Las Amarillas: Calandria is the name of a yellow and orange bird whose song is both powerful and beautiful. El Gusto: El Gusto is a tap dance from the coast of Guerrero state in Mexico, performed in the towns of Zirandaro and Altamirano. III. REVOLUTION Modern Mexico began with the Revolution of 1910. For the first time in the country’s history, women joined the political struggle. This ballet is dedicated to the soldaderas, the women who supported their men and even bore arms with them in Mexico’s fight for liberty. Contrasted with these footsore men and women is a group of young aristocrats dancing European polkas, flirting and unconcerned with the people’s fight for freedom. A group of revolutionaries breaks up this party, brandishing their weapons. Now it is the peasants who dance popular dances like La Adelita in the aristocratic drawing room with their compatriot Juana Gallo, the famous capitana. At the end of this movement, the revolutionaries march toward their new destiny. IV. CHARREADA The Rope Dance Country Love Dance February

V. TLACOTALPAN FESTIVITY January 31 marks the celebration of the Candelaria Virgin in the town of Tlacotalpan. Stages are built in the main square, where musicians and dancers dance to fandangos. This celebration is characterized by the use of mojigangas, enormous puppets that symbolize different cultural figures and archetypal human traits. The music is characterized by the sound of drums such as congas, common in the festive carnival season of the Caribbean.

intermission VI. THE FEATHER DANCE The name guelaguetza, meaning “offering,” is specific to this ballet inspired by the ancient custom of the Zapotec Indians. The Zapotec believed in showing hospitality to their guests and respect to their governors through the language of music and dance. The most spectacular dance in this Mexican region is the “Feather Dance,” which requires great agility and intricate movements, as the performance must perfectly manipulate richly adorned feather headdresses. The state of Oaxaca also has another welcoming dance called Jarabes, which was originated by another Indian race living in this region, the Mixtec people. These dances have light and lyrical steps and are performed to the accompaniment of a typical village band. VII. WEDDING IN THE HUASTECA On the day of his wedding, a young rancher finds a beautiful young Indian girl and cannot resist the temptation of romance with her. Meanwhile, at the village church, the bride begins the preparations for their wedding. When the groom finally arrives, the couple begins a dance and all the neighbors join in and court her. In the midst of the general gaiety, her groom’s rival arrives. In seconds, the happiness of the celebration disappears as the two men get hold of their machetes and fight until the rival dies. The party continues, as is tradition in that region. The bride and groom finally leave for the church in total splendor but leave behind the mourners in the plaza. VIII. LIFE LIKE A GAME In this dance, the game is controlled by the devil. He handles all characters as if they are marionettes and, with their cords, manipulates their destiny. Reality and fantasy interact when the devil uses both “cupid” and “death” to perform a tangled love story between a bride, her groom and her lover. 1. The Plaza (Rondas) a.

DEER DANCE The Yaqui people, who have a reputation for being excellent hunters, have managed to be the only indigenous culture to preserve their cultural autonomy in the face of Spanish colonialism. Free from any racial mingling or modern cultures, the Yaquis continue hunting with bows and arrows, cultivating the land according to their ancestors’ methods and celebrating their ritual dances with hermetic fervor. The Deer Dance is part of a rite that is organized in preparation for a hunt. It is said to bring luck and a bountiful profit to those who participate. X. JALISCO The state of Jalisco is the land of the Charros, the Chinas and the Mariachis. Since the last century, it has become a symbol of Mexican nationality. The Charros of Jalisco are known for their high spirits and joyous grasping of life. Jalisco’s folklore captures the soul of Mexico in its sensual music, refined dances and dazzling costumes. For this reason, Ballet Folklórico de México culminates every performance with this ballet. It opens with a Mariachi parade playing lively sones at the start of a fiesta. In the background is the traditional gazebo found in all the provincial plazas of Mexico. During this colorful fiesta, the songs and dances of Jalisco are performed: The Snake, El Tranchete, La Negra and El Jarabe Tapatío, the famous Mexican Hat Dance. At the end of the performance, the dancers salute the audience with an abundance of colorful paper streamers.
Artist Bio
AMALIA HERNÁNDEZ and BALLET FOLKLÓRICO DE MÉXICO In 1952, dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernández founded the Ballet Folklórico de México, having embarked at a very early age on a never-ending quest to rescue the dancing traditions of Mexico. Her goal was to share the beauty of the Universe in motion through Mexican dances from the Pre-Colombian era, the Hispanic Viceroy period and the popular period of the Revolutionary years. In 1954, Hernández began to garner recognition as a highly respected cultural representative of Mexico. In her earliest ballets, the audience sees the present time fade before their eyes, as they enter into a journey through the past: The lords of heaven and earth come back to life, the jaguars, the gods born of human flesh; 30 different cultures that blossomed in centuries past leave behind a trail of color. All of these elements together gave Hernández the inspiration to create the Ballet Folklórico de México. A weekly program on Mexican television sponsored by the government aired the Ballet’s initial performances. A few years into their formation, the company achieved a degree of international success that has been maintained for more than 50 years. Amalia Hernández and Ballet Folklórico de México have since created more than 40 ballets for upwards of 70 dancers. The music, technical rigor, elaborate costuming and Hernández’s choreography have helped the Ballet and its followers disseminate the zest for rich Mexican tradition and folklore throughout the world. Since 1959, the company has been permanently housed at the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. The institution has two main artistic companies called the First Company and the Resident Company, both whom alternate tours and performances in Mexico and abroad. The company has currently given more than 5,000 performances, and both Hernández and the Ballet Folklórico de México have been distinguished with more than 200 awards recognizing their artistic merits.

Artist Bios KENNY ROGERS By now, Kenny Rogers has become such an icon that it’s easy to forget how he got there. Having recorded more than 65 albums that have sold more than 105 million copies worldwide, Rogers is an icon in the same league as The Beatles, Elton John and Elvis Presley. Rogers has won three GRAMMY® Awards, 11 People’s Choice Awards, 18 American Music Awards, eight Academy of Country Music Awards and five Country Music Association Awards, and he still loves touring and recording new music. Just look at the titles: “Lady,” “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town,” “The
Gambler,” “She Believes in Me,” “Islands in the Stream,” “We’ve Got Tonight,” “Buy Me a Rose.” Then listen. The sweetly raspy vocals are instantly identifiable as Kenny Rogers’. He inhabits each song, making it vivid and tangible. For five decades, Rogers has delivered memorable songs, drawing fans among rock, pop, soul and country audiences. When one singer makes such an indelible mark, that’s not mere luck or even simple talent. “I really, really love what I’m doing,” Rogers says. “People survive longer if they love what they’re doing because they just don’t quit. “I’ve always been like a boomerang,” adds Rogers, who celebrated his 50th anniversary in show business
in 2008. “You can throw me away, but you can rest assured that I’m coming back. It’s not about being the biggest star in the world. For all intents and purposes, if you go back to the peak of my career, I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish. To do that again doesn’t excite me. But to just be there and to be a force and have people care about what you’re recording, that’s the greatest gift you can have.” Kenny Rogers is a man constantly seeking new challenges, new ways to maintain excitement both for himself and his fans. Most of all, he is exactly as he seems: a proud man, but also a sincere, honest one, unfazed by his success.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
A Celtic vein runs deep in the diverse cultural heritage of the United States and Canada, so it’s natural that the music of Ireland and Scotland is widely loved on this side of the Atlantic, where virtually everyone can recognize the distinctive rhythms of an Irish jig or the Highland fling. “Danny Boy,” which is based on a traditional Irish air, has become a standard for American singers, recorded by everyone from Patti LaBelle to Willie Nelson. It’s a testament to the enduring popularity of Celtic music and the exquisite vocal gifts of John McDermott that his 1992 recording of this utterly familiar song became an international hit. McDermott’s natural singing style and elegant tenor voice gave the song a new life and reminded audiences all over the world of the beauty of Celtic musical traditions. Audiences will enjoy a full evening of that beauty when McDermott shares the stage with the Nashville Symphony and Cherish the Ladies, a six-woman ensemble devoted to performing traditional Celtic folk music. In addition to “Danny Boy,” the program is sure to feature the other classic, bittersweet songs McDermott has made his own, such as “The Old Man.” Penned by acclaimed Irish songwriter Phil Coulter, this nostalgic lament about a son’s grief has become a great favorite with McDermott’s fans. “Roses of Picardy” is a romantic ballad of World War I written by Frederick Weatherly (who also wrote the lyrics to “Danny Boy”), and McDermott is the latest in a line of great tenors, including the legendary John McCormack, to have interpreted it. Veteran’s issues have long been important to McDermott, and his devotion to the cause of homeless and injured vets is reflected in his choice of repertoire, including “And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda,” which employs the melody of the well-known Australian folk song to tell the story of a young soldier wounded at the Battle of Gallipoli. The song was written by Scottish folk singer Eric Bogle in 1971, and McDermott’s delicate delivery gives the lyrics’ antiwar message a particular poignancy. Cherish the Ladies was formed in 1985 as a “super group” of the most prominent women performers in Celtic music. They took their name from a favorite jig, and they have always focused on presenting audiences with lively shows of traditional folk tunes, as well as their original compositions in a traditional style. The group’s lilting, joyful performances of classic jigs such as “The Cat’s Meow” never fail to delight audiences, but they are also known for their stunning interpretations of tender airs and ballads, including “Erin grá mo chroí” (“Ireland of My Heart”), a paean to “that dear little isle so far away.” The romantic side of traditional music is honored by Cherish the Ladies with songs such as “Neansaí, mhile grá” (“Nancy, My Great Love”), which they perform in Gaelic. Between them, John McDermott and Cherish the Ladies offer a range of Celtic music from ancient to modern, steeped in the traditions of the old country and expressing the Celtic spirit that endures in communities all over the world. — Nashville-based freelance journalist Maria Browning is pops program annotator for the Nashville Symphony

JOHN MCDERMOTT “Legend” is not a title John McDermott would readily embrace, but his accomplishments have become legendary in the recording industry. He calls Toronto and Boston home, but he has also found a home as an international recording star and household name. McDermott was discovered
quite by chance, when, working as a circulation sales representative for the Toronto Sun, he belted out an impromptu rendition of “Danny Boy” at a company party. McDermott’s first album, Danny Boy, was originally recorded as a very personal 50th anniversary tribute for his parents. Its quality could not be ignored, and it eventually found its way into the hands of EMI Music Canada. Danny Boy
subsequently garnered strong sales for a debut release in the U.S. and Canada; it even reached No. 1 on New Zealand’s album charts and was certified double platinum in that country. This success, in addition to a fastgrowing North American fan base, led to his participation in the PBS phenomenon The Irish Tenors. McDermott’s presence helped generate a U.S. gold record, three U.S. tours and a

The outcome of that fateful performance has catapulted him into a musical career that includes three Canadian platinum records, five Juno nominations (Canada’s equivalent of the GRAMMY®) and a solid international touring schedule.

CHERISH THE LADIES When describing Cherish the Ladies, the critics say it best. From the Boston Globe: “It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn’t enjoy what they do.” From The New York Times: “Expands the annals of Irish music in America.... The music is passionate, tender and rambunctious.” For the past 18 years, Cherish the Ladies have proven themselves worthy of these accolades and others, and in doing so have become one of the most engaging ensembles in the history of Irish music. They have grown from a one-time concert concept to an Irish traditional music sensation. Organized by folklorist/musician Mick Moloney and sponsored by the Ethnic Folk Arts Center and the National Endowment for the Arts, they began as a concert series featuring the brightest lights in Irish traditional music. Taking their name from a traditional Irish jig, the group

Ralph Vaughan Williams Born on October 12, 1872 in Down Ampney, Gloucestershire, England; died on August 26, 1958, in London, England Symphony No. 2 in G major “A London Symphony” Vaughan Williams composed A London Symphony between 1912 and 1913. It was first performed on March 27, 1914, in London, with conductor Geoffrey Toye leading the Queen’s Hall Orchestra. The American premiere was conducted by Albert Coates in New York on December 30, 1920. Vaughan Williams substantially revised the work several times over the next two decades and dedicated the score to the memory of composer George Butterworth. His final revision of 1933-34, which was published in 1936, has become the repertory standard. The Nashville Symphony’s first and only prior performance took place on January 15-16, 1999, with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn.
estimated length: 44 minutes “Have we not all about us forms of musical expression which we can take and purify and raise to the level of great art?” Ralph Vaughan Williams’ rhetorical question appears in an essay about the identity of “the English composer” that he wrote around the time he was working on A London Symphony. Vaughan Williams goes on to suggest that an abundance of “raw material” — ready to be so transformed — can be found in daily life, from “the lilt of the chorus at a music-hall joining in a popular song” to “the cries of the street peddlers.” A similarly diverse assortment of everyday urban sounds, as experienced a century ago, is woven into the fabric of this second of the composer’s nine symphonies. During the first years of the new century, the young Vaughan Williams embarked on a fresh direction, determined to “cast off the fetters of Teutonism.” He would cultivate an authentically English type of music instead. The history-conscious
composer had already found one resonant source in the polyphonic beauty of England’s Tudor era. Vaughan Williams also began exploring the legacy of English folk song, sharing this enthusiasm with his close friend Gustav Holst and another young English composer, George Butterworth. Vaughan Williams incorporated both of these influences — England’s early music and its indigenous folk heritage — into his style, which he evolved slowly and painstakingly. Meanwhile, to cope with insecurities about his command of orchestration, he headed to Paris in 1908 for private study with Ravel. From the French composer he learned how to lighten his touch and “orchestrate in points of color rather than in lines” — an education that proved quite handy for A London Symphony. Areas besides composition claimed Vaughan Williams’ attention — among them lecturing and writing about music — so that he was something of a late bloomer. One of his scholarly projects involved editing the English Hymnal for Anglican service, where Vaughan Williams found the tune that served him as the basis for Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, his breakthrough work for string orchestra from 1910. That year included the premiere of A Sea Symphony — a choral hybrid between a symphony and a cantata that sets the

poetry of Walt Whitman — which is also counted as his Symphony No. 1. (Vaughan Williams used programmatic titles instead of numbers for his first three symphonies, which is why A London Symphony became known only later as his Symphony No. 2.) With these and a few other compositions, Vaughan Williams had now earned a position at the forefront of England’s new-music scene. His friend Butterworth encouraged him around this time to undertake a purely orchestral symphony — a work larger in scope than any of his preceding instrumental pieces. Vaughan Williams drew on sketches he had been making for a symphonic poem about London and took his time constructing what he would later deem the favorite among his nine symphonies. He also spent time reconsidering it over the next couple of decades. The symphony’s premiere in 1914 was largely well-received, but the highly self-critical Vaughan Williams repeatedly revised the score. By the time
he published his final set of revisions (the edition we hear in these performances), he had shorn away close to 20 minutes, tightening what was initially a more sprawling work of an hour or so in duration. Even though Vaughan Williams created A London Symphony in the twilight of the Edwardian era, in a sense it spans the terrible chasm of the Great War. After Butterworth was killed in combat in France, Vaughan Williams — who himself served as a stretcherbearer — decided to dedicate the work to his memory. Hardly a piece of self-satisfied nostalgia, the music traverses a wide emotional range: Its vibrant high spirits and moments of calm beauty also make way for darker currents that give the score a richly satisfying ambiguity. The picturesque details that Vaughan Williams gathers into A London Symphony — the sensations of early modernist urban life, to which a composer raised in the countryside was perhaps all the more sensitive — shouldn’t deceive us into

approaching the work as a mere catalogue of programmatic illustrations. Conductor Albert Coates, a champion of the work, wrote an influential description that ventures to map its sequence of references (down to actual streets and neighborhoods in London!), but A London Symphony isn’t a postcard in sound. Vaughan Williams pointed out that the presence of specific artifacts (the famous Westminster Chimes, for example) should be considered “as accidents, not essentials of the music.” And the context he creates for all of these is indeed symphonic. A London Symphony makes reference not just to particular places, but to time as well. A slow introduction suggests the city rousing to consciousness from its predawn calm. We hear the halfhour motif of the Westminster Chimes from the clarinet and harp, and then a brash blur of dissonance sets the Allegro in motion. The chromatically oriented first motif gives way to a parade of fragmentary ideas and then to a second
subject elaborating on material from the introduction. A folksy-sounding section, marked by uproariously cheerful brass, is rounded by the chromatic motif, leading to a development featuring wonderfully evocative solo highlights in the orchestration. Vaughan Williams has not forgotten his time in Paris: The veiled textures of Debussy lurk in the background, and, as scholar Michael Kennedy suggests, there may even be a visual influence from Monet’s Impressionist paintings of London. The recapitulation and coda overlay the materials with a fresh sense of excitement. A plaintive English horn melody is the first of three themes in the slow movement. Here, the apparently summerlike, openair atmosphere of the opening has now shifted to what the composer characterizes as “Bloomsbury Square on a November afternoon.” A new, hopeful motif sounds in the horns, recalling the symphony’s introduction. Then comes a tune in the solo viola, shared by the woodwinds, which the composer had jotted down in his researches as the cry of a lavender street-peddler, with jingles added to signify hansom cabs passing by. Vaughan Williams weaves this simple material into a series of powerful climaxes before presenting them in a restrained reprise. The effect almost suggests the musical equivalent of Bloomsbury
resident Virginia Woolf ’s famous observation that “in or about December 1910, human character changed.” The Scherzo (subtitled “Nocturne”) is an especially good example of how Vaughan Williams integrates his London references within a purely musical structure. The main part of the movement evokes a sense of foreground against background with its flickering main theme and contrapuntal chasings. Vaughan Williams contrasts the “great hotels” on the far side of the Thames with the “crowded streets and flaring lights” of a festive Cockney night. The latter comes into cinematic close-up in the Trio, where the orchestra mimics the homely sound of mouth organ and accordion. The Scherzo material returns in an abbreviated, darkened form, fading away into the darkness. The highly varied finale — which was even more varied before Vaughan Williams pruned it in revisions — begins with a tragic flair. A passionate introduction resolves into a march theme that recasts material from the slow movement. Its foreboding character, some commentators have suggested, may allude to the downtrodden of the city marching in protest. (A staunch socialist, Vaughan Williams strove for an all-embracing vision of London.) The tempo speeds up for a contrasting section built on a tersely rhythmic motif, and the march returns, now more panoramic
and cresting in three climactic waves, each louder than the preceding. The last wave, reinforced by tam-tam, ushers in a recall of the first movement’s chromatic motif. It subsides to another tolling of the Westminster Chimes, now at the third-quarter mark. Finally, undulating textures calmly weave through an extended epilogue — a riff on the introduction that opened the symphony, now giving us an omniscient view of the Thames. Vaughan Williams tells us he had in mind a literary reference as well: a passage from H.G. Wells’ 1909 novel Tono-Bungay depicting the river coursing through England, passing London on its way to the sea.

A vision of the Thames winding through London not only ends Vaughan Williams’ A London Symphony but also appears in the stunning opening sequence of the 1944 film Henry V. This film, which Laurence Olivier adapted from Shakespeare’s play of 1599, was intended as a morale-boosting
effort during World War II; it also marked a breakthrough in the annals of Shakespeare as reimagined for the cinema. We’ve benefited from an outpouring of Shakespeare films in the two decades since Kenneth Branagh’s Henry V (the polar opposite of Olivier’s and an interpretation that’s more faithful to the play’s inherent ambiguity). This abundance makes it easy to forget that the situation was very different when Olivier mustered out of the Royal Navy to direct and produce his Henry V (in which he also plays the title role). Up to that time, the Bard was considered at best only awkwardly compatible with the film medium. As movie historian Bruce Eder persuasively argues, Olivier disproved that prejudice through his synthesis of cinematic vocabulary and Shakespeare’s theatrical vitality. (Eder provides a fascinatingly detailed commentary track on the Criterion Collection’s DVD edition of Henry V.) The film — which also happens to offer the first Technicolor Shakespeare — was an enormous box office success, despite the duress of wartime. (Henry V had to be filmed mostly in neutral Ireland, since the Germans were regularly bombing Britain.) A good deal of its success can be credited to William Walton’s magnificent contribution.

music, Walton collaborated closely, reinforcing Olivier’s cinematic approach with a rich variety of musical styles. The two had been involved in some earlier projects together. In 1936 Walton wrote his first Shakespeare film score (a version of As You Like It that starred Olivier). Later, in 1942, Olivier performed in Louis MacNeice’s radio play Christopher Columbus; Walton’s incidental music gave Olivier the idea of signing him on to his Henry V team. (Walton had similarly been exempted from combat so that he could write music for such patriotic films as The First of the Few, about the creator of the Spitfire fighter.) After the war, they collaborated on three more Olivier-directed films, two of them based on Shakespeare: Hamlet (1947) and Richard III (1955). While Walton may have considered his film scores a sideline to his work as a composer, they brought his music to the attention of a wide public beyond the concert hall. Walton had emerged in the 1920s as something of
an iconoclast with his jazzinfluenced Façade, a chambersong cycle to poems by Edith Sitwell. But with such triumphs as the Viola Concerto (1929), the oratorio Belshazzar’s Feast (1931) and the Symphony No. 1 (1935), he was seen as inheriting the mantle of Elgar and Vaughan Williams. Walton’s score for Henry V was subsequently adapted and arranged multiple times. The most frequently heard version was a suite made by Muir Mathieson (who conducted the original soundtrack), which lasts only 15 minutes and is for orchestra alone, thinning out the variety and the vibrant palette of Walton’s scoring. After the composer’s death, Christopher Palmer (1946-95), an acclaimed film score arranger, decided to pay homage to the full scope of the Henry V music by preparing his innovative “Shakespeare Scenario.” The resulting suite presents an extensive sequence of musical excerpts, weaving in relevant spoken narration from key moments in the drama. Palmer created similar “scenarios” using the Hamlet and Richard III scores. In Prologue, Walton uses two kinds of music to set Henry V’s imaginative opening sequence, thus underscoring the film’s intricate framing device, which starts out by presenting a film of the play as it is being performed at the Globe Theatre on May 1, 1600. Olivier shows a playbill floating in the breeze (to the flute’s
gentle fluttering). When we see it in close-up, it announces “The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fift with his battell fought at Agincourt in France” (the title taken from the First Folio). The camera then presents a sweeping aerial view of Elizabethan London, slowly descending into the Globe with its motley audience. Following Olivier’s conceit, Walton’s score alternates between “cinematic” music — a passage in epic mode, with a tolling, wordless chorus — and the “historical” music that we watch the Globe musicians performing, as represented by a series of fanfares and callto-attention strains. Walton even turned to period sources for some of the themes he uses later in the score (the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, for example). He cleverly moves back and forth between these two modes throughout the piece. At the Boar’s Head is an interlude involving the streetwise, drunken companions of King Henry’s salad days, when he was the irresponsible “Prince Hal.” Their scherzo-like music suddenly takes a poignant turn when it slows down to become the four-bar bass line for a passacaglia on the death of Falstaff (for strings alone). Although he doesn’t actually appear as a character in Henry V, we learn that Falstaff has died from the pain of the king’s rejection (dramatized at the end of Henry IV, Part 2).
Olivier inserts a passage from the earlier play and shows the broken Falstaff on his deathbed. From the stage, the Chorus (a terrific Leslie Banks in the film) uses language to transport his audience from the bare “wooden O” of the Globe’s stage to “the vasty fields of France.” Walton conjures the Embarkation of Henry’s army with a festive style of rousing cadences, emphasizing the adventurous mood, with “expectation in the air.” A brief interlude intercuts this with another scene at the Boar’s Head (“Touch her soft lips and part”) — again, for strings alone, the tone here romantic rather than bawdy. After Falstaff ’s death, his surviving companions such as Pistol have decided to join the war effort. Here, Pistol, who has married the hostess of the tavern, bids her a tender adieu. Now landed in France, Henry rouses the English with the first of his two most famous patriotic speeches, this one coming before the siege of Harfleur. Walton’s music, at first ominous, mirrors the newly confident spirit of Henry’s men following his speech. The king’s merciless threats to the besieged French — part of Shakespeare’s more ambiguous portrayal of Henry — is one of several such passages that Olivier’s team cut from the script. In The Night Watch, while Henry wanders, disguised, among his men on the evening of battle, Walton

paints an atmospheric and anxious nocturnal scene, with Henry bringing a sense of hope toward the end. The climactic battle of Agincourt unfolds in a sequence of passages. Walton works closely with Olivier’s visuals here. After Henry’s rousing St. Crispin’s Day speech, the score becomes the equivalent of the panning camera, giving us a vast, panoramic spectacle of the French marching ostentatiously into battle. Walton zooms in for telling details — the horses’ harnesses jangle, a fanfare echoes another. The composer was especially worried about how to capture this battle scene. “How does one distinguish between a crossbow and a longbow, musically speaking?” he wondered. But Prokofiev’s film score to Alexander Nevsky proved an effective model — much as Eisenstein’s technique was closely studied by Olivier. The buildup of tension is masterful. This sequence includes the most overtly exciting moments of the score. Following the battle is a hazy aftermath in which the English come to grasp the overwhelming and unlikely victory they have just won. In contrast to Eisenstein and the theatrical reality of the Elizabethan theater, Olivier alludes to the look of medieval illuminated manuscripts for his scenes At the French Court. Walton uses some of his most lyrical music here
to underscore the Duke of Burgundy’s beautiful speech expressing the desire for peace. The choir then brightly launches into a passage quoting from the Chants d’Auvergne, the French folk songs collected by Canteloube. King Harry successfully wins the hand of the French princess Katharine. In the Epilogue, Walton takes us full circle to the Elizabethan fanfare music that opened the play — now in full symphonic glory. After the Chorus’ final speech, the musical panorama accompanies a return to the sweeping aerial view of London. Sealing the score is a final chorus based on the words and music of the “Agincourt Hymn.” (Hitherto the chorus has sung wordlessly, and here the words are not those of Shakespeare.) We earlier heard this somewhat stern tune, written to commemorate the historic battle of October 25, 1415, at the very end of the Agincourt sequence. Walton pulls out all the stops in a final passage of choral and symphonic majesty. Within months of the film’s premiere, the English would again send a military expedition across the Channel with their Allies in the fateful D-Day invasion. — Thomas May is the program annotator for the Nashville Symphony and writes regularly about music and theater.

SIR NEVILLE MARRINER, conductor Sir Neville Marriner began his professional life as a violinist, first in a string quartet and trio, then in the London Symphony Orchestra, during which he founded the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, with a small group of friends, in 1959. At first, he directed the ensemble from the concertmaster’s seat until the repertoire demanded larger forces. Then, on the encouragement of his mentor, Pierre Monteux, to “stand up and be a man,” he relinquished his violin and took up the baton. In 1969 he left the London Symphony Orchestra and founded the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, at the same time extending the repertoire of the Academy and guest conducting symphony orchestras around the world. He served as Music Director of the Minnesota Orchestra and Principal Conductor of the Sudwest Deutsche Rundfunk Orchestra in Stuttgart.

iancarlo Guerrero’s 09/10 season marks his first as music director of the Nashville Symphony. A champion of new music, Guerrero has collaborated with and conducted the music of several of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Michael Daugherty and Roberto Sierra. A new CD on Naxos of music by Michael Daugherty, with Guerrero conducting the Nashville Symphony, was released in September 2009. Guerrero’s guest conducting engagements in the 09/10 season include appearances with the symphony orchestras of Milwaukee, New Jersey and Fort Worth; the Pacific Symphony in Costa Mesa; and the Curtis Symphony Orchestra in Philadelphia. Abroad, he conducts the Symphony Orchestras of Vancouver and Edmonton in the fall and the Slovenian Philharmonic in the spring. As a guest conductor, Guerrero recently made two important debuts abroad: his European debut with the Gulbenkian Orchestra, where he was immediately invited to return, and his U.K. Debut with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. He has also recently made successful debuts with several major American orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra (where he was invited back for a subscription week and tour), the Seattle Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Other recent orchestral engagements in North America include appearances with the orchestras of Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Phoenix, San Antonio and San Diego; the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C.; and at the Grant Park Festival. Also in demand in Central and South America, Guerrero conducts regularly in Venezuela with the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar, with which he has had a special relationship for many years. His debut at the Casals Festival with Yo-Yo Ma and the Puerto Rico Symphony in 2005 was followed by return engagements in 2006 and 2007. He also made his debut at the Teatro Colón in Argentina in 2005. Elsewhere, he is a regular guest conductor of the Auckland Philharmonia in New Zealand. 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 most recently a new production of 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 League of American Orchestras, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide. Guerrero holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was most recently music director of the Eugene Symphony. From 1999 to 2004, he served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra. Prior to his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra, he served as music director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela.

Conductors Albert-George Schram, resident conductor
Kelly Corcoran, assistant conductor
Albert-George Schram, a native of the Netherlands, has served as resident conductor of the Nashville Symphony since August 2005 and is concurrently staff conductor of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra. He also holds regular guest-conducting Photo by Amy Dickerson positions with the Tucson Symphony and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. When the Nashville Symphony opened Schermerhorn Symphony Center in 2006, Schram was invited to become the orchestra’s resident conductor. While he has conducted on all series the orchestra offers, Schram is primarily responsible for its Bank of America Pops Series. Maestro Schram’s longest tenure has been with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, where he has worked in a variety of capacities since 1979 and is an audience favorite for all series he conducts, including Pops and the CSO’s summer season. As a regular guest conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Schram in 2002 opened the orchestra’s new permanent summer home, Symphony Park. He has regularly conducted the Charlotte Symphony for nine consecutive years. In 2008 Maestro Schram was invited to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional of Bolivia in La Paz 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 made return appearances to his native Holland to conduct the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Netherlands Broadcast Orchestra. 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 the majority of his initial training at the Conservatory of The Hague in the Netherlands. His training was completed at the University of Washington.
The 2009/10 season marks Kelly Corcoran’s third season as assistant conductor of the Nashville Symphony. During this time, she has conducted a variety of programs, including the Symphony’s SunTrust Classical Series and Bank of America Photo by Amy Dickerson Pops Series, and has served as the primary conductor for the orchestra’s education and community engagement concerts. She also conducted the Nashville Symphony’s recent CD with Riders In The Sky, ‘Lassoed Live’ at the Schermerhorn. Corcoran debuts this season with the Naples (Fla.) Philharmonic, the Charlotte Symphony and the Memphis Symphony. She has conducted orchestras throughout the country, including the Detroit Symphony and the National Symphony Orchestra. In 2009, she made her South American debut as a guest conductor with the Orquesta Sinfónica UNCuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. She has developed a reputation for exciting, energized performances. The Tennessean hailed her work on the podium as “lively” and “fresh.” Named as Honorable Mention for the Taki Concordia Conducting Fellowship, Corcoran conducted the Bournemouth (UK) Symphony in January 2008 and studied with Marin Alsop. Prior to her position in 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. In 2004, Corcoran participated in the selective National Conducting Institute, where she studied with her mentor, Leonard Slatkin. She has held additional posts as assistant music director of the Nashville Opera and founder/music director of the Nashville Philharmonic Orchestra. Originally from Massachusetts and a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus for 10 years, Corcoran received her Bachelor of Music in vocal performance from The Boston Conservatory. She received her Master of Music in instrumental conducting from Indiana University. She currently serves on the conducting faculty at Tennessee State University. February

ADVERTISING SUCCESS STORIES
Performing Arts Magazines Presents
“
"Rosemary Beach usually markets to our traditional drive market but for some reason did not concentrate much on the Nashville area until 2008. When I was approached by the Glover Group, their demographics, frequency of ads and focus just seemed like a great fit. Plus, when I considered the per impression cost, the program provided great value for our ad dollar. Measuring readership and tracking has become almost impossible these days, but when I did an analysis on our web site traffic, I found a dramatic increase of hits for the duration of our ad program, with sudden increase as soon as our ads ran in their publications. As a result, Tennessee and Nashville has moved into our number two position with web traffic and we have seen a considerable increase not only in our vacation rentals but Real Estate sales as well.”
”
—David Moore • Marketing Director Rosemary Beach, Florida www.RosemaryBeach.com
“
"As a first time advertiser, I was thrilled that the phone started ringing right after our first ad appeared. The Arts Magazines target our Design Gallery Homes market perfectly, and we look forward to more calls the rest of the season."

However, when the economy slows, this audience becomes even more important to reach because of their affluence and discretionary incomes. Advertising today is about spending money smarter to reach your target audience. The performing arts venue setting provides a unique advertising experience, what we like to call "the last captured audience in print"...10 minutes before the curtain goes up, there are no distractions, you can't channel surf, fast forward, or TIVO . . . everyone is reading their magazine...just look around the room.
Performance That Exceeds Expectations
So, if you are a current advertiser, thank you for advertising. If your company is not currently advertising, and you would like to learn more about how to reach our audience, please call us at 373-5557. In these unique times advertising is not about spending more money, but rather how to spend the money you have wisely. —Gary Glover • President/Publisher The Glover Group, Inc. www.GloverGroupInc.com

Michael York on Shakespeare
O
n February 25-27, the Nashville Symphony’s SunTrust Classical Series will welcome esteemed actor Michael York for a performance of William Walton’s Henry V: A Shakespeare Scenario, which pairs words from The Bard’s historical play with music from Laurence Olivier’s 1944 film adaptation. In an acting career that stretches back more than four decades, York has taken on a wide range of roles, from Bob Fosse’s Cabaret to the Austin Powers movies. Through it all, Shakespeare has remained at the core of his identity as an actor: One of his first professional gigs was performing Much Ado About Nothing in London’s National Theatre Company, and his first film appearance was in Franco Zeffirelli’s The Taming of the Shrew. Since then, he has revisited Shakespeare’s work many different times over the years. He is also the author, with Adrian Brine, of A Shakespearean Actor Prepares, which explores the complexities, challenges and rewards of performing Shakespeare’s plays. In their book, York and Brine discuss the reasons why Shakespeare’s words continue to demand our attention some 400 years after they were written: “To understand Shakespeare today we have

to realize that he is not merely an Elizabethan writer who is attractive, and worth staging, for historical reasons,” they explain. “More, we should look on his Elizabethan-ness as an accident of history rather than as something essential. His comedies are not meant to be realistic pictures of Elizabethan life. His historical plays would not get high marks for historical accuracy…. If we look in the plays for what we expect to get from historical novels, they can seem clumsy and ill-informed. It helps to regard them as myths, legends, fairy tales, allegories and parables — those tales that, free from time and place, tell us immutable truths about ourselves. “Few stones remain of Elizabethan London, the English language has changed, and the theater Shakespeare wrote for is long since demolished. These facts make him seem distant to us. But the bonds that link human beings… have not changed. Neither have the dreams and nightmares that haunt our imagination. The desire for perfect love, the anxiety about being betrayed, the fear of death (a loved one’s as much as one’s own) still keep people awake at night. These are the stuff of Shakespeare’s plays.” —Jonathan Marx
