12 The New Traditionalist David Maddox

Few musicians embody the prevailing trends in classical composition over the past half-century better than Krzysztof Penderecki. The composer first emerged in the early 1960s as a key figure in the avantgarde, but by the end of the decade, he’d begun to shift his focus back to a more traditional musical language. Nashville audiences will have a rare opportunity to hear some of his works performed live when the composer leads the Nashville Symphony’s SunTrust Classical Series concerts on January 21-23.

Overture

“We remain dedicated to maintaining the high quality of our product and to keeping the Schermerhorn at the heart of Nashville’s civic and cultural life.”

s we welcome the beginning of a new year and a new decade, the Nashville Symphony looks to the months and years ahead with a sense of excitement and possibility. For all of the milestones that the orchestra has achieved over the past 10 years, we have many more to look forward to. Just this month, for instance, we are celebrating the news that the orchestra has been nominated once again for a GRAMMY® Award, this time for its recording of works by Maurice Ravel on the Naxos label. Following our momentous GRAMMY® wins in 2008 for Joan Tower’s Made in America, this latest nomination affirms once again the high quality of the orchestra’s musicianship. We also begin the new year with the announcement on January 10 of the Nashville Symphony’s 2010/11 season. As Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero prepares for his second year of leading the orchestra, he has planned a season that will build on the excitement of the past few years and push the orchestra to even greater heights in performance. We will also further our fruitful partnership with Naxos with more new releases and recording projects. Our sights are set on an auspicious future at the very time that the global economy begins to pull out of one of the most uncertain financial periods of the past 70 years. The Nashville Symphony has remained strong in the face of such instability because of its proactive response to the economic downturn and because of its renewed commitment to its core mission. At a time when many businesses and nonprofit organizations are struggling, I am proud to say that the Symphony was able to balance the operating portion of its budget last season and looks forward to comparable results this year. We were able to achieve this by examining our entire operation carefully and making the necessary adjustments, but without compromising our most important mission of bringing great music to the people of Middle Tennessee. In addition, we are constantly exploring ways to expand the Symphony’s impact — by entertaining more people, by touching and changing more lives, by becoming an even better neighbor and civic asset. As we build on the terrific momentum we’ve enjoyed since opening Schermerhorn Symphony Center in 2006, sustainability will remain our central focus. We will continue to review our existing methods and approaches to make sure that we are growing responsibly, we will continue to expand our endowment, and we will look for still more compelling ways to reach potential donors, both individual and corporate. At the same time, we will remain dedicated to maintaining the high quality of our product and to keeping the Schermerhorn at the heart of Nashville’s civic and cultural life. What makes our situation both unique and promising is the unusual success we’ve enjoyed thus far. Both within our own community and within the orchestra industry, we are looked to as a model of intelligent, spirited innovation and a source of new ideas. This would matter little if we allowed ourselves to rest on our laurels or lapse into a business-as-usual mentality, but this will not happen here. The Nashville Symphony will continue to thrive because it will remain committed to artistic and organizational excellence and resolute in its pursuit of innovation, tempered by common sense and energized by the efforts and enthusiasm of its many supporters.

Nashville Symphony receives 2010 GRAMMY® nomination The Nashville Symphony has received a 2010 GRAMMY® nomination for its recording of Maurice Ravel’s L’Enfant et les sortilèges (The Child and the Spells) and Shéhérazade, in the category of Best Classical Album. This is exciting news for the orchestra, which has earned a total of eight GRAMMY® nominations over the past decade and now finds itself sharing the Best Classical Album category with such classical music heavyweights as the Boston Symphony Orchestra with conductor James Levine, the San Francisco Symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with Marin Alsop. The winner will be announced at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY® Awards on January 31. Recorded in 2006 and 2007 at Schermerhorn Symphony Center and released on Naxos last year, the Ravel disc features conductor Alastair Willis leading the Nashville Symphony Orchestra with mezzo-soprano Julie Boulianne, members of the Nashville Symphony Chorus and the Chicago Symphony Chorus, and the Chattanooga Boys Choir. This latest nomination follows the orchestra’s triumphant showing at the 2008 GRAMMY® Awards, when its Naxos recording of Joan Tower’s Made in America earned three statues. Two other Nashville Symphony recordings have also been recognized in this year’s GRAMMY® nominations. Steve Epstein and Blanton Alspaugh were nominated individually in the category of Producer of the Year, Classical, for their body of work, which includes the Nashville Symphony’s recordings of John Corigliano and Gian Carlo Menotti, along with the Ravel. Concertmaster Mary Kathryn VanOsdale to assume new role Nashville Symphony violinist Mary Kathryn VanOsdale, who has held the chair of Concertmaster for more than two decades, will retire from that position at the end of the 2009/10 season and assume the title of Concertmaster Emerita. While giving up the demanding leadership role, she will continue as a member of the orchestra’s first violin section. “I have enjoyed 21 years as Concertmaster, and I am very proud of all that our orchestra has accomplished during this time,” VanOsdale says. “By coming to this decision, I hope to gain more quality time to focus on my family and other projects. I also wish to extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Mary Kathryn VanOsdale Martha Ingram and the many generous patrons who have made possible the opportunity for our orchestra to perform at the world-class Schermerhorn Symphony Center.” Giancarlo Guerrero, Music Director of the Nashville Symphony, praises VanOsdale for her many seasons of exceptional service. “As leader of the orchestra since the 1980s, Mary Kathryn has had a measurable influence on the orchestra’s sound. It’s difficult to imagine our current success without her many years in the first chair.” An international search for a new Concertmaster will begin immediately. As soon as this spring, candidates are expected to be joining the orchestra in select classical concerts.

The New Traditionalist

Once an avatar of the avant-garde, composer Krzysztof Penderecki has embraced the music of his forebears — but without losing his uncompromising spirit By David Maddox

ew musicians embody the prevailing trends in classical composition over the past half-century better than Krzysztof Penderecki. The Polish composer and conductor made his initial impact in the late 1950s and early 1960s with works like Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (1960), an expression of pure anguish that pushed a string orchestra to extremes. At the time, Penderecki (pronounced “Pen-der-ETS-ky”) emerged as a key figure in the development of post-World War II sonic experimentation, which was devoted to rethinking the very nature of composition as a way of expressing the complexities of life in the modern era. Then, in the late 1960s and 1970s, an interesting thing happened: Penderecki began to shrug off the uncompromising rhetoric of the avant-garde and shifted his focus back to a more traditional musical language. In the years since, he has built a body of work that draws on the late romanticism of Mahler, Bruckner and Richard Strauss, while at the same time maintaining the expressive intensity at the core of his earlier music. Nashville audiences will have a rare opportunity to hear some of these works performed live on January 21-23, when the composer conducts two of his own pieces — along with an infrequently performed symphony by Shostakovich — as part of Krzysztof the Nashville Symphony’s SunTrust Classical Series. Penderecki In looking back over his career, Penderecki unequivocally divides it into two discrete parts. First came the idealism of the avant-garde, which “offered the illusion of universality,” he writes in The Labyrinth of Time: Five Addresses for the End of the Millennium. “We young composers — hampered by the aesthetics of socialist realism that prevailed in Poland — regarded the musical world of Stockhausen, Nono, Boulez and Cage as liberation.” But after he had explored the freedoms of the avant-garde, his point of view began to change. Far from giving expression to universal truths, the innovations of modern music instead became restrictive exercises that “boiled down mainly to formal experimentation and speculation. [The] Promethean tone of those days was a utopia. The escape from the avant-garde trap of formalism enabled me to turn back towards tradition.” Though Penderecki’s embrace of tradition may seem to reflect a kind of aesthetic conservatism, the opposite may in fact be true. The extreme sounds of the avant-garde had led to what he experienced as a creative dead end, so rather than keep working over the formulas from his initial youthful burst of innovation, he saw the need to do something that seemed very radical at the time. It is precisely this line of thinking that has shaped much of the new music that we hear in the concert hall today. Many composers who’ve followed in the wake of Penderecki have likewise turned back toward tradition. At the same time, they have a much broader range of musical ideas to draw

on — and they have Penderecki, among others, to thank for that. Music as a vehicle for religious themes For his performances with the Nashville Symphony, Penderecki has chosen two pieces from his later period. He adapted the Adagietto for English Horn and String Orchestra (1979) from his opera based on Milton’s Paradise Lost, written a year previously. The piece comes from a critical period in his movement away from the avant-garde. “I wanted to experiment with the tradition,” he told music writer Bruce Duffie in 2000. “So I rediscovered [late] romanticism, especially Bruckner, and I wrote several pieces under that influence.” One of these experiments in the postRomantic tradition was the opera Paradise Lost. He builds the Adagietto by weaving together short strands of chromatic lines, and he achieves a floating sense of rhythm by setting eighth notes against triplets and elongating and compressing phrases. Though brief, this piece contains the full dramatic arc of a larger work as it moves into a more agitated middle section and then returns to the lyrical melodies from the opening. Throughout his career, Penderecki has taken up religious themes, consistent with the strong position of the Catholic Church in Poland and with his own religious convictions. Also to be performed at the Schermerhorn, his Concerto for Piano “Resurrection,” from 2001/02, draws on the drama of death and rebirth found in, but not limited to, Christian theology. He started the

piece in June 2001, but it took on new dimensions as he responded to the attack on the World Trade Center; it became, like Threnody, an expression of anguish at mass death in a new epoch. The concerto starts with a militaristic tone that carries through much of the piece, but Penderecki embeds peaceful passages throughout and arrives near the end at a triumphant chorale. The composition doesn’t conclude with that chorale, but instead turns back to the agitated music from the start. This return seems appropriate, given everything the world has witnessed during Penderecki’s eight decades, from the Jews rounded up in the Warsaw ghetto to the destruction of the Twin Towers. With that history, why would we expect evil to be resolved through a simple act of goodness or a tightly composed coda? A kindred spirit in Shostakovich For his Nashville Symphony program, Penderecki has paired his own music with that of Dmitri Shostakovich. While Penderecki was able to experiment freely in the more open version of Communism that prevailed in Poland after 1956, Shostakovich spent his whole career under Russia’s more repressive Party rule. He was born in 1906 and lived through decades of change in the Soviet regime, alternately going in and out of favor with political and cultural authorities. More than simply being another composer who worked behind the Iron Curtain, Penderecki finds in Shostakovich a kindred spirit and a predecessor in his mastery of compositional tradition. JANUARY

“It’s very clear that I’m trying to continue this tradition, this Romantic tradition,” he told Duffie. “It’s not only me. If you look at 20th century symphonic Dmitri music, Shostakovich, Shostakovich for example, is doing the same. He was continuing Mahler, really.” Penderecki has chosen Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony for this program. Written in 1939, it has an unusual form in which the first movement is longer than the last two combined, with a trajectory from seriousness to near-comedy. This movement toward greater and greater liveliness constitutes a kind of rebirth, which makes it a good companion for Penderecki’s Resurrection Concerto. It is also subtly and surreptitiously unconventional. While it has fairly traditional melodies and harmonies, this symphony has a very different arc than

most. Instead of balancing moderate, slow and fast material, the tempos get progressively faster from one movement to the next. In the final movement, it takes on a nearly manic tone that seems to thumb its nose at the conventionally serious purpose of classical music. In the context of Shostakovich’s life under Soviet rule, it is hard not to see this music, which breaks the conventions of the concert hall, as a subtle repudiation of authority in other realms. Penderecki, too, has resisted convention, whether socialist realism or avant-garde formalism, and in the process has cultivated his own, singular synthesis of musical styles from different eras. “I would like to be remembered as a composer who has a personal style, even one that is influenced by the entire century,” he says in an interview with musicologist Ray Robinson in The Labyrinth of Time. “This is really what I wanted — not [only] to write very original music…, which would not give me an opportunity to develop what I wanted to say.” —David Maddox is a Nashville-based musician and freelance writer

Bohuslav MartiNŮ Born on December 8, 1890, in Polička, Bohemia (part of the Habsburg Empire); died on August 28, 1959, in Liestal, Switzerland The Frescoes of Piero della Francesca, H. 352 Bohuslav Martinů composed The Frescoes of Piero della Francesca in less than a month, between February and March 1955, while living in Nice, France. He dedicated the score to fellow Czech Rafael Kubelík, who gave the premiere with the Vienna Philharmonic at the Salzburg Festival on August 26, 1956. These are the first Nashville Symphony performances of the work. The score calls for piccolo, 3 flutes, 3 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets, 3 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, tenor and bass drums, cymbals, tam-tam, triangle, xylophone, harp and strings. estimated length: 18 minutes As a young boy, Bohuslav Martinů would gaze out for hours from the unusually lofty location where his family made its home. He spent a peaceful childhood in the sleepy, medieval Czech town of Polička, near the border between Bohemia and Moravia. There his father, a cobbler, doubled as the community’s fire lookout and bell-ringer. Those duties entitled the family to live in a cramped apartment nestled high above the bells and clock of the town’s neo-Gothic campanile, separated from the world below by a precarious flight of 193 spiraling (and sometimes wobbly) steps. The composer later remarked that his artistic sensibility in general was

influenced by the striking visual perspective. The long flight up and down, Martinů speculated, may have influenced the sense of unfolding space that can be discerned in his music. The memory of this bird’s-eye view stayed with him throughout his long exile from his homeland: first in Paris, then as a reluctant U.S. resident who had fled the Third Reich, and finally in Western Europe. When he was able to return to Europe for the first time after World War II, Martinů became haunted by his encounter with the work of painter Piero della Francesca (c. 1420-1492), whose unique sense of geometrical form profoundly influenced the development of visual perspective among Renaissance artists. In 1955, Martinů made a visit to central Italy and chanced upon Piero’s Resurrection in the small town of Sansepulcro, which had narrowly survived shelling toward the end of the war. He proceeded to investigate Piero’s frescoes in nearby Arezzo — particularly the sequence of episodes collectively known as The Legend of the True Cross, which had been painted in the Basilica of San Francesco. The sequence traces the history of the cross on which Jesus was crucified, from the death of Adam (as the tree planted at his burial was believed to be the original source of the wood of the cross) up to the Eastern Roman Empire in the 7th century. The experience moved the remarkably prolific Martinů to compose his first orchestral music since coming back to Europe in 1953. Brian Large, the composer’s biographer, observes that in these frescoes, “Martinů found the substance of all that he wanted to put into music, the peace and colors of nature, the simplicity

of form, the philosophy of acceptance and resignation.” The Frescoes of Piero della Francesca distills Martinů’s response to Piero’s work into a tripartite piece for large orchestra. Martinů didn’t intend his composition to provide simple one-on-one correspondences or to be perceived as “program music” accompanying the frescoes. Rather, it renders in sound his admiration for the extraordinary serenity Piero communicates through his geometry of form and use of color. The composer characterized this quality as a “solemn, frozen silence and opaque-colored atmosphere, which contains strange, peaceful, yet moving poetry.” Martinů, does, however, refer to specific frescoes as points of inspiration for the different movements. The first (Andante poco moderato) concerns Piero’s bipartite panel depicting the Queen of Sheba: Before she is received into Solomon’s palace, the Queen kneels before a wooden bridge when she is granted a prophetic revelation that its wood will be used in the cross. The music immediately evokes Martinů’s “opaque-colored atmosphere,” drawing on the composer’s long-ago infatuation with Impressionism. Bright, ceremonial melodies cut through with clarity, but the mystical tone of the opening returns to frame the movement, the fog at last resolving into a lucid major chord. The second movement is an Adagio prompted by the fresco of Constantine’s Dream, in which an angel assures the future emperor he will conquer the rival Roman leader Maxentius by following the sign of the cross. Martinů’s score captures the dreamlike sense

Jennifer Higdon Born on December 31, 1962, in Brooklyn, N.Y.; currently residing in Philadelphia Concerto for Violin Jennifer Higdon’s Violin Concerto was commissioned for violinist Hilary Hahn by the Indianapolis Symphony, the Toronto Symphony, the Baltimore Symphony and the Curtis Institute of Music. Higdon composed the score in 2008, dedicating it “to Hilary Hahn, with great admiration and enthusiasm.” Hahn was soloist at the premiere with the Indianapolis Symphony under Mario Venzago. These performances are the first by the Nashville Symphony. In addition to solo violin, the score calls for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, harp, timpani,

bass drum, cymbals, Chinese cymbal, rute, chimes, crotales, marimba, glockenspiel, knitting needles and strings.

of battle to come by giving the call to arms to a solo viola (the single programmatic moment acknowledged by the composer). Serenely celestial harmonies contrast with a quickening sense of agitation. The final movement (Poco allegro) is the shortest and mixes the composer’s responses to two of the crucial battle scenes in the cycle (that of Constantine at the Milvian Bridge and that between the Eastern Empire and the Persian King Khosrau II). An almost jazzy theme is set against more overtly martial strains, but after the tension reaches a climax, Martinů quickly resolves the piece on a widely spaced chord that echoes the closure of the first movement and brings the fantasy to a close.

estimated length: 35 minutes Over the last decade, Jennifer Higdon has established herself among the top 10 living American composers most frequently performed by symphony orchestras. It’s all the more extraordinary to realize that she came to the world of classical music relatively late. Born in Brooklyn, Higdon grew up in Atlanta and rural Tennessee with lots of exposure to country and rock and, thanks to her parents’ involvement with the visual arts, avant-garde art happenings. But she decided at age 15 to teach herself flute and became a performance major at Bowling Green State in Ohio. The idea of composing, Higdon recalls, arose almost by chance after a few years of study, when her flute teacher asked her to write a short piece. “I found arranging sounds to be fascinating,” says Higdon. Soon the desire to compose became unavoidable, taking over her life. Now, with commissions pouring in and her music in such high demand, Higdon is frequently on the road, yet still maintains the discipline to compose several hours every day of the week. In 2000, the Philadelphiabased Curtis Institute commissioned a 15-minute orchestral piece, which resulted in Higdon’s moving blue cathedral (2000). This breakthrough work soon had a widespread impact, introducing Higdon’s gift for emotionally direct and colorfully textured language. She has since written a wide spectrum of pieces for orchestra and

chamber groups, with her much anticipated first opera — on a not-yet-announced topic, to a libretto by Gene Scheer — now in the works as a commission from San Francisco Opera for 2013. The concerto format figures prominently in Higdon’s catalog. These include the acclaimed Concerto for Orchestra, a bluegrass-styled concerto for string trio, and solo concertos for trombone, soprano sax and percussion. Just last month the National Symphony premiered her new Piano Concerto, and later this season conductor Robert Spano — a longtime champion — will introduce her concerto for the new-music group eighth blackbird and the Atlanta Symphony. Higdon remarks that the prospect of tailoring to a particular artist’s personality stimulates her creativity. The present Violin Concerto, notes the composer, represented “a big mountain to cross,” since the existing literature includes so many masterpieces. In this case, Higdon was inspired by the musical personality of Hilary Hahn, whom she met while teaching at the Curtis Institute. “The ‘story’ of the Violin Concerto,” she explains, “is really Hilary and her violin.” Higdon studied both the familiar repertory of violin concertos

and relatively unknown works, seeking interesting angles for showing off the instrument. She also consulted closely with Hahn, particularly for the first movement — the last to be composed. Its fiendishly difficult cadenza turned out to be “unlike anything” the violinist had seen or heard before. Higdon graciously supplied the following commentary on the Violin Concerto: “I believe that one of the most rewarding aspects of life is exploring and discovering the magic and mysteries held within our universe. For a composer this thrill often takes place in the writing of a concerto…. It is the exploration of an instrument’s world, a journey of the imagination, confronting and stretching an instrument’s limits, and discovering a particular performer’s gifts. “The first movement of this concerto, written for the violinist, Hilary Hahn, carries a somewhat enigmatic title of 1726. This number represents an important aspect of such a journey of discovery for both the composer and the soloist. 1726 happens to be the street address of the Curtis Institute of Music, where I first met Hilary as a student in my 20th century music class. An exceptional student, Hilary devoured the information in the class and was always open to exploring and discovering new musical languages and styles. As Curtis was also a primary training ground for me as a young composer, it seemed an appropriate tribute. To tie into this title, I make extensive use of the intervals of unisons, 7ths and 2nds throughout this movement. “The excitement of the first movement’s intensity certainly deserves the calm

and pensive relaxation of the second movement. This title, Chaconni, comes from the word ‘chaconne.’ A chaconne is a chord progression that repeats throughout a section of music. In this particular case, there are several chaconnes, which create the stage for a dialogue between the soloist and various members of the orchestra. The beauty of the violin’s tone and the artist’s gifts are on display here. “The third movement, Fly Forward, seemed like such a compelling image that I could not resist the idea of having the soloist do exactly that. Concerti throughout history have always allowed the soloist to delight the audience with feats of great virtuosity, and when a composer is confronted with a real gift in the soloist’s ability to do so, well, it would be foolhardy not to allow that dream to become a reality.” Camille Saint-Saëns Born on October 9, 1836, in Paris, France; died on December 16, 1921, in Algiers, Algeria (then part of the French Empire) Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 “Organ” Camille Saint-Saëns composed his Symphony No. 3 early in 1886 on a commission from London’s Royal Philharmonic Society. He led that ensemble in the premiere on May 19, 1886, in London. When Franz Liszt died two months afterward, Saint-Saëns dedicated the score to him. The Nashville Symphony’s first performance of the work was in April 1966, with conductor Willis Page. The score calls for piccolo, 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons,

contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, organ, piano four hands and strings. estimated length: 34 minutes As a musical prodigy, Camille Saint-Saëns was not only in the league of Mozart and Mendelssohn, but could be said to have raised the bar for precociously gifted children. At 2, according to his own recollection, he was dissecting household sounds with uncanny attentiveness, able to discern entire symphonies in chiming clocks and the whistling of the tea kettle. Saint-Saëns began performing at the piano at 4. For his first public recital in Paris — at the age of 10 — he played piano concertos by Mozart and Beethoven. One of the oftrepeated anecdotes of classical music lore records that, as an encore, Saint-Saëns offered to perform the audience’s choice of any one of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas — by memory, of course. Likewise, Saint-Saëns took to composition as naturally — and fruitfully — as an apple tree bears apples, to use one of the composer’s own favorite metaphors. He attempted a first symphony at 16 but destroyed the score, waiting till the ripe age of 18 to unveil his official First Symphony in public. As an astonished Berlioz put it, the young man’s one weakness seemed to be that “he lacks inexperience.” Such feats of showmanship were simply par for the course in a musical life marked by extraordinary productivity and longevity. SaintSaëns continued in the public eye right up into his 86th year, giving his last performance just

a few months before he died in December 1921. His gifts weren’t limited to music. Saint-Saëns possessed an encyclopedic intellect. He was an aficionado of archeology, mathematics, botany, butterflies, the history of stamps, classical drama and painting. In his later life, he indulged an insatiable enthusiasm for far-ranging travel. Saint-Saëns’ long lifespan itself entailed an epic journey from the heyday of romanticism through the birth pangs of modernism and the trauma of World War I. While he had championed some of the new currents of music in the last decades of the 19th century, the aging Saint-Saëns came across as a curmudgeonly archconservative when he bitterly denounced the experiments of Debussy and Stravinsky. Inevitably, the composer himself fell victim to the

changing tides of musical fashion. His output was enormous and covered all the major genres — from chamber music to symphonies, operas and concertos — and he even wrote a pioneering film score in 1908. But just a tiny fraction of these works lives on in regular performance today (although, gradually, some are being rediscovered and introduced once more). Saint-Saëns’ most familiar compositions date from the 1870s and 1880s, when he was at the peak of his fame. These include a few concertos, the tone poem Danse Macabre, the opera Samson and Delilah, The Carnival of the Animals and the Third Symphony — the last two written back-to-back in 1886. Saint-Saens actually tried to suppress the delightful Carnival, allowing it to be published only after his death, since he feared its

lightheartedness might puncture his reputation as a composer in the grand tradition. In contrast, the Third Symphony — Saint-Saëns’ last essay in the genre — reveals his determination to claim a place in the lineage of Beethoven and the great symphonists. France’s public musical life at this time tended to be focused on the opera; symphonies seemed passé. Part of Saint-Saëns’ legacy was to direct attention back to the field of instrumental music. And while he was hardly known as an innovator, the composer was eager to “update” some of the premises of symphonic writing as a way of helping to preserve its viability in an era when the symphony was deemed to be an engendered species. This led Saint-Saëns to two choices about his overall conception of the Third

Symphony. First, he noted that “the time has come for the symphony to benefit by the progress of modern instrumentation.” Thus he amplifies the traditional classical orchestra with additional colors — English horn and contrabassoon in the woodwinds, for example. But most striking of all is the integration of piano and organ into the sonic texture. The Third Symphony’s popular subtitle, “Organ Symphony,” is something of a misnomer. (It didn’t originate with the composer, in any case.) This isn’t a symphony built around the presence of the organ, but one in which the organ (along with the piano) adds another dimension to symphonic rhetoric, bringing in sonorities that were previously associated with sacred music or grand operatic spectacle. The other area where SaintSaëns modified the classical symphonic model was in his choice of a two-movement design. In practical terms, there doesn’t seem to be much difference from the familiar fourmovement pattern: fast opening movement, slow movement, scherzo and finale. Yet SaintSaëns fuses the first two and the last two to make a pair of megamovements. He thus discards some of the traditional roundingout of separate movements, aiming instead for a tighter sense of unity across the entire work. This Romantic preoccupation with organic unity also features in Franz Liszt’s experiments with traditional forms. Saint-Saëns, who had been befriended by the Hungarian from a young age, admired his compositional innovations. The main Lisztian idea that underlies the Third is that of “thematic transformation”:

InConcert

JANUARY

A core thematic idea spans the work but recurs in transformed guises, its character altered with each new context. The symphony begins with a short but potent slow introduction, centered on a plaintive motto of four rising notes. It leads into the nervous music of the Allegro proper, where the main theme appears in an agitated form. A second thematic group, gracefully dancing in character, can keep apart only so long before SaintSaëns starts interlacing it with the fatefully chugging music. He also pointedly suggests how the contours of the first theme trace the ominous Dies irae chant (an idea that will recur later in the symphony). The blocking and piling up of harmonies as this material is spun through various developments suggest an organist’s approach to the orchestra. In fact, Saint-Saëns was not only a brilliant pianist, but also a legendary organist who served for more than two decades at the neoclassical Madeleine Church in the heart of Paris. Yet the organ itself remains silent until we reach the Poco adagio. The music has subsided, and, following a short pause and a tonal slant into D-flat major, the organ discreetly builds a contemplative atmosphere. A serene melody rises slowly from the strings and organ, spreading to other instrumental choirs. The meditation continues even as the agitated version of the theme from the Allegro works its way back in. Saint-Saëns described the closing pages of the movement as “mystical” in their unearthly swaying between D-flat major and E minor. The symphony’s second half returns to the turbulent

2010

unease of the first Allegro — the opening music in yet another transformation, placed against an arresting rhythmic pattern. Saint-Saëns introduces the sparkling textures of rapid-fire piano scales in a Presto section, hinting at the breakthrough to come. From the depths emerges a stern, brassy motif, and all of these elements contend to win the day until the full power of the king of instruments is unleashed. Its resounding C major chord — how fresh it sounds in the meandering tonal contexts that have preceded — is the entrée into the final section. The Maestoso restates the symphony’s cyclic theme, now as a silvery chorale that grows in confidence and strength. Saint-Saëns introduces a highly contrasting episode of woodwinds — like momentarily gazing at a passing scene of nature — and then presses on to seal his triumph over the anxious darkness with which the symphony began. — Thomas May is the program annotator for the Nashville Symphony and writes regularly about music and theater.

About the program A visit to Preservation Hall in New Orleans is a de rigueur pilgrimage for jazz lovers, who line up each night like faithful acolytes outside the shabby, 250-year-old structure on St. Peter Street. Once admitted, they find themselves in a cramped, dark sanctum that offers no food or drink, no air conditioning and precious few seats — but plenty of traditional jazz played by masters of the form. A variety of acts appear at the famed venue, but the Preservation Hall Jazz Band represents the core of the institution’s mission to protect and promote the genre. Its members are steeped in the musical culture of New Orleans, which can trace its roots back to legends such as Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Morton. The Nashville Symphony will start off the evening with a program of music devoted to the Crescent City. First up are two movements from Mississippi Suite, Ferde Grofé’s 1925 “tone journey” down the great river that has always dominated the geography and the economic life of New Orleans. These pieces express the diverse spirit of the region. The rollicking horns and jaunty cadences of “Huckleberry Finn” give way to the lighthearted “Mardi Gras,” with a genteel swing that is more evocative of a krewe ball than a Bourbon Street bacchanal. The Mississippi river theme is revisited later in the evening with Jerome Kern’s classic “Ol’ Man River,” a melancholy standard that gently reminds listeners of

the historic hardships that are the flip side of the city’s spirit of bonhomie. Cut Me Loose From This World: A Funeral and Ascension in New Orleans is an homage to the city’s tradition of jazz funerals. Composer David Rimelis conceived the work as a dialogue, with the brass and percussion sections playing the role of mourners, while the rest of the orchestra ultimately becomes the “second line” — the onlookers who join in the final raucous send-off for the departed. Ironically, this musical narrative of death and deliverance was commissioned by the Louisiana Philharmonic in the year prior to Hurricane Katrina and was first performed in October 2006, as the city struggled to recover. Its Nashville premiere is its first performance outside Louisiana. Lee Norris’ A Flavor of New Orleans brings together a trio of classic New Orleans songs. “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?” was introduced by Louis Armstrong in the 1940s and became a poignant anthem for the many New Orleans residents who were exiled from the city post-

Katrina. “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans,” which celebrates the city as “heaven right here on earth,” has been recorded countless times since its debut in 1922. “South Rampart Street Parade” is a boisterous big band romp penned by Bob Crosby in the 1930s. The eight members of Preservation Hall Jazz Band will take the stage for the second half of the show, and just as they do on their home turf, they’ll surprise the audience with a selection of songs from their sizable repertoire. Perhaps they’ll offer up rowdy numbers like “Tiger Rag” and “Sugar Blues,” or things might take a more soulful turn with “St. James Infirmary” or “Just a Closer Walk with Thee.” Whatever the mood, the band is sure to transport listeners back to the early days of jazz, and to provide a virtual visit to Preservation Hall, which is touted — rightly so — as providing “one of the last pure music experiences left on earth.” — Nashville-based freelance journalist Maria Browning is pops program annotator for the Nashville Symphony

Artist bio

PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND The Preservation Hall Jazz Band derives its name from Preservation Hall, the venerable music venue located in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, founded in 1961 by Allan and Sandra Jaffe. The band has traveled worldwide spreading its mission to nurture and perpetuate the art form of New Orleans jazz. Whether performing at Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center, for British Royalty or the King of Thailand, this music embodies a joyful, timeless spirit. Under the auspices of current director Ben Jaffe, the son of founders Allan and Sandra, Preservation Hall continues with a deep reverence

and consciousness of its greatest attributes in the modern day as a venue, band and record label. The building that houses Preservation Hall has housed many businesses over the years, including a tavern during the War of 1812, a photo studio and an art gallery. It was during the years of the art gallery that the then-owner, Larry Borenstein, began holding informal jam sessions for his close friends. Out of these sessions grew the concept of Preservation Hall. The intimate venue, whose weathered exterior has been untouched over its history, is a living embodiment of its original vision. To this day, Preservation Hall has no drinks, air conditioning or other typical accoutrements, strictly welcoming people of all ages.

The PHJB began touring in 1963, and for many years there were several bands successfully touring under the name Preservation Hall. Many of the band’s charter members performed with the pioneers who invented jazz in the early 20th century, including Buddy Bolden, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong and Bunk Johnson. Bandleaders have included the brothers Willie and Percy Humphrey, husband and wife Billie and De De Pierce, famed pianist Sweet Emma Barrett and, in the modern day, Wendell and John Brunious. These founding artists and dozens of others have passed on the lessons of their music to a younger generation who, like the current lineup, now follow in their footsteps.

Krzysztof Penderecki Born on November 23, 1933, in Dębica, Poland; currently lives in Krakow. “I also have my Iliad and my Odyssey,” Krzysztof Penderecki observed in a speech in 1993. He was referring to a famous quote by Goethe, which claims that the artist’s life replicates the full Homeric paradigm: A youthful, heroic struggle à la Iliad is followed by a “homecoming” in later age, resembling Odysseus’ desire to return home. “For me, Troy was the avant-garde, the era of youthful rebellion and faith in the possibility of changing the way of the world through art,” the composer continues. But once he’d experienced this phase, “I realized that there was more of destruction than of building anew” in the avant-garde approach. He became the “Trojan horse” of the avantgarde, turning back toward the inspiration he found in tradition. In its larger arc, Penderecki’s lengthy and extraordinarily productive career can be viewed as an ongoing search for a synthesis of these contradictory tendencies in contemporary music. “The conscious use of tradition,” he writes, “became an opportunity for overcoming [the] dissonance between the artist and the audience.” When Penderecki emerged in Europe’s postwar avant-garde scene, he was already independently minded, determined to pursue a path of his own rather than adhere to a movement. As with so many of his generation, the early experience of Nazi occupation followed by Sovietimposed Communism intensified the desire to develop a powerful

new musical language. The first professional musician in his family, Penderecki became especially fond of the violin — a harbinger of his first experimental compositions using string ensembles — and studied composition at the Krakow Academy of Music. Soon after graduating, Penderecki anonymously entered three separate compositions into a national competition for young composers, winning top prizes in each category. The reward was a lengthy tour of Italy in 1959. Indeed, the freedom to travel went along with a relatively greater degree of artistic autonomy for composers in Communist Poland in the 1960s compared with other Soviet bloc countries. Penderecki visited festivals in Western Europe and, in 1967, made his first trip to the United States; he served as a professor at Yale in the 1970s. At 76, Penderecki not only continues to compose but maintains a vigorous schedule traveling all over the world to conduct. He began this parallel phase of his career in earnest in 1972, first to conduct his own compositions and eventually as an interpreter of the symphonic repertory. Composers to whom he feels especially attracted are Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Bruckner and Sibelius. His restless curiosity is hardly limited to the realm of music. A voracious reader, Penderecki is well-versed in philosophy and classical antiquity and even keeps a section of science fiction in his library. He’s an aficionado of theater and the visual arts and also devotes a great deal of time to his passion for botany. At his home outside Krakow, he has construct2010

ed an impressive arboretum with a collection now numbering more than 1,500 species. From avant-garde upstart to contemporary master Penderecki first became recognized for experiments in extreme texture, bordering on “noise,” with such pieces as Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (1960) — originally titled 8’37”, as a sort of homage to John Cage (an influential figure at the time on several figures of the Polish avantgarde). Penderecki’s use of extended techniques, thick tone clusters and sliding microtones evoked a terrifying sonic spectrum from an orchestra of 52 strings. Even in his most radical avant-garde period — between 1959 and 1960, when Penderecki says there was an attempt “to erase the past” — the music makes a direct and powerful emotional impact. But Penderecki soon found he had reached the limit of what he could do with short-form pieces and began to steer away from the avant-garde. A major turning point came with the St. Luke Passion of 1966, which secured his position as a world-renowned composer. Penderecki found a way to incorporate his textural experimentalism within a work of large-scale architecture that simultaneously drew on musical tradition and reintroduced familiar harmonies. It was also a provocative gesture in the face of the atheism not only promoted by Communist ideology but also in vogue among many of the avant-garde. Penderecki has said that writing the score for the St. Luke Passion brought him back to his Catholic faith. Succeeding works of sacred

music have continued to explore this dimension. These include Utrenja, a recent recording of which has been nominated for this year’s GRAMMY® Awards, and the Polish Requiem, commissioned by Lech Wałęsa and the Solidarity movement. Indeed, theological questions come to bear on Penderecki’s first two operas. The Devils of Loudun (1969) turns Aldous Huxley’s account of a 17th-century outbreak of fanatical persecution into an allegorical, Passion-like story. Paradise Lost (1978) adapts Milton’s epic masterpiece for the stage. The latter also represents the composer’s continued gravitation toward a recuperation of the musical past. As biographer Wolfram Schwinger phrases it, with humorous oversimplification, “the clustermonger turned into a tunesmith.” Penderecki has continued to seek a synthesis with the legacy of the Western tradition — though in unpredictable ways — in a series of orchestral and chamber works, including numerous concertos and eight symphonies (he plans, like several of his forbears, not to tempt fate by venturing beyond a Ninth Symphony, which he has already planned). Later this season — in honor of Chopin’s bicentennial — will bring a new lieder cycle to texts from the time of Chopin. “I am tempted by both the sacrum and the profanum, God and the devil, the sublime and its violation,” writes Penderecki, explaining the paradoxes of his life’s work. When asked where he senses that music is heading, he favors the image of the labyrinth (he has constructed two of them in his arboretum). Penderecki describes

the tendency of music history to “turn unexpectedly in another direction,” rather than follow a predictable line. “My music, too, meanders and zigzags as in a labyrinth, going different ways and sometimes coming back.” Adagietto from Paradise Lost Penderecki composed the Adagietto in early 1979 for a new production of his opera Paradise Lost. The first performance was given on April 8, 1979, with the composer conducting the NHK Symphony Orchestra in a concert to inaugurate the 21st Osaka International Festival. In 2006/07, Penderecki revised the score to create this version scored for solo English horn and strings. This is the Nashville Symphony’s first performance of the work. estimated length: 5 minutes The Adagietto offers an appealing example of the “neoRomantic” tendencies in Penderecki’s post-avant-garde music. This exquisite though brief piece was actually intended as an instrumental interlude for the three-hour, 42-scene Paradise Lost, which was commissioned by Lyric Opera of Chicago in the mid-1970s. After the opera’s premiere in November 1978, while a new production in German was being prepared, he decided to interpolate the Adagietto after a scene in the second act, where Eve has taken the apple, and before a love duet between Adam and Eve. But the composer didn’t finish the score in time for the staging, so it was premiered as a separate piece and has since be-

come one of his most-performed concert works. An obsessive reviser, Penderecki pared down his original scoring in this version, motivated by a newfound taste for clarity that has also inspired a turn toward chamber music. Only 60 measures long, the Adagietto traces an indelibly melancholy mood within its simple ABA arc. Penderecki replaces the French horns of the original with an English horn solo (conjuring shades of Sibelius). The half-tone, chromatic side-steps of the main melody suggest the elegiac moment when Eden has paled. The tempo speeds up for the middle section, with an agitated crescendo and climax that then recedes to the original melody, eventually fixed in an inescapably tragic but fading C minor. Dmitri Shostakovich Born on September 25, 1906, in Saint Petersburg, Russia; died on August 9, 1975, in Moscow Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 54 Shostakovich composed the Symphony No. 6 in 1939. On November 21 of that year, Yevgeny Mravinsky conducted the Leningrad Philharmonic in the premiere. The first American performance came a year later, with Leopold Stokowski conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, who first recorded the work. This is the Nashville Symphony’s first performance.

He was only a teenage student when his First Symphony — one of the most astonishing symphonic debuts in music history — catapulted him to international fame and launched his career. Creative ferment was in the air, from such artists as the abstract painter Kasimir Malevich to the anti-naturalist, avant-garde theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold, who gave Shostakovich a temporary gig as music director of his company. There was, as well, the excitement of the new art of cinema. But that sense of freedom proved illusory. While Shostakovich was composing the Sixth Symphony in 1939, Meyerhold — whose theater had been shut down a year before — was arrested by Stalin’s thought police and “disappeared.” The composer himself had come perilously close to a similar fate. At the beginning of 1936, his wildly successful new opera, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, triggered a serious attack by the official Communist newspaper Pravda after Stalin attended a performance and found the opera offensive. The Pravda editorial condemned Shostakovich for writing “decadently” modernist music, holding him up as a negative example —

much like the “degenerate artists” exhibited by the Nazis a year later. So the stakes were enormous — a matter of survival, literally — when Shostakovich was ready to reveal his next major public work, the Fifth Symphony, written within just three months in 1937. Its triumphant premiere was ratified by official approval, and the Fifth remains among the most popular of 20th-century symphonies. Throughout the rest of his career, however, the composer would endure the changing whims of Soviet cultural policy. Shostakovich and his fellow artists knew that the mere act of self-expression was always fraught with potential danger. The “restoration” achieved by the Fifth might have temporarily eased the pressure, but Shostakovich had to decide what direction to follow next. As a result, a hiatus followed, during which Shostakovich considered various prospects for stage works. But nothing came of these. In fact, the Pravda attack effectively thwarted one of the most promising operatic careers of the era. This is one of the reasons why he channeled his creative energy into the genre of the symphony. For Penderecki, who got to know him while conducting in the Soviet Union in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Shostakovich became “one of the most important symphonists after Mahler.” Another genre in which Shostakovich left a comparable legacy is that of the string quartet. In 1938 he composed the First String Quartet; a few months later, he announced that his next symphony was under way and that it would be a grandiose work for orchestra, soloists and chorus, setting texts in homage to Lenin. 2010

But the compact Sixth Symphony that actually emerged the following year changed tack drastically. The Lenin idea had vanished (though Shostakovich did eventually write an official panegyric to Lenin with the purely instrumental Twelfth Symphony, which is generally considered the weakest of the cycle). Instead, the Sixth presents a puzzling tragicomic dualism, framed within a convention-defying threemovement format that is provocative in its own way. Its premiere — exactly two years after that of the Fifth, in the same concert hall — was programmed as part of a 10-day Soviet music festival and was, with the public at least, a success; according to the composer’s close friend Isaak Glikman, the finale had to be encored. But the work received a mostly lukewarm reception by the critics, who were instead wowed by the premiere of Prokofiev’s rousing Alexander Nevsky and a reprise of Shostakovich’s own Fifth during the festival. Probably in an effort to preempt the pundits, Shostakovich referred to the Sixth’s “intended moods of ‘spring, joy, youth, lyricism’ ” as contrasting with the “moments of tragedy and tension” that he said characterized the Fifth. But when you actually experience the Sixth, it’s easy to tell that he was deliberately glossing over its enigmatic qualities. True, on the surface the symphony traces a comforting arc from gloom to exuberant joy. But the work’s proportions seem to suggest a different story. The opening Largo is more than twice as long as the movements that follow. More importantly, it carries the emotional weight of the piece: That the remaining movements progressively accelerate only

adds to their manic, surreal character, which can hardly dispel what preceded them. An early American edition of the score misleadingly claims that Shostakovich simply “omitted” the traditional Allegro opening movement. The vast Largo that begins the work, however, not only constitutes a dramatic “establishing shot” but also encompasses powerful contrasts within its span. If anything, it seems to begin where the weightier, most forlorn aspects of the Fifth Symphony had left off — as if that work were a giant upbeat to the crushing despair. The movement unfolds in two large sections, which are then repeated, but in a varied and tightly condensed form. The emotional language here makes much reference — overt and implicit — to Mahler, hardly in vogue at the time but deeply admired by Shostakovich. You can hear this in the unwavering, wide-stretched desolation of the first theme, in the persistent trills that unnervingly animate the soundscape — and, of course, in the implied funeral march of the second section, beginning with the English horn solo. Shostakovich uses his large orchestral resources to greatly contrasting effect. A screeching climax is countered by otherworldly shards from woodwind solos, while the counterpoint at times proceeds with ghostly transparency. Scant moments of consolation toward the end yield to immutable grief. The next two movements pretend to forget what has gone before. Penderecki observes that Shostakovich was a master of the scherzo, which inspired especially virtuosic writing for the

orchestra. The Allegro — also constructed in two alternating sections that repeat — trades in colorful contrasts of metrical pulse and instrumental texture. It encompasses both playful innocence and almost brutally heavy-handed exhortations to rejoice. The Presto then arrives as a hyper-scherzo to conclude the symphony. Framed as a dizzying, rondo-like dance — it seems, at moments, to teeter on the edge of sanity — the music mocks a number of past styles, even including a sinister wink at the triumphant finale of the Fifth. Shostakovich, playing a kind of Soviet Offenbach, turns the giddiness up several notches in the madcap, circus-like coda. krzysztof Penderecki Concerto for Piano “Resurrection” Penderecki composed his Concerto for Piano between June 2001 and March 2002 on a commission in honor of Marie-Josée Kravis. Emanuel Ax was the soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch, in the world premiere at Carnegie Hall on May 9, 2002. In 2007, Penderecki prepared a revised edition of the score, which was performed on December 7 of that year, with Barry Douglas as soloist and the composer conducting the Cincinnati Symphony. This is the Nashville Symphony’s first performance. In addition to solo piano, the score calls for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn, 3 clarinets (3rd doubling E-flat clarinet), bass clarinet, 2 bassoons,

contrabassoon, 5 horns, 6 trumpets (3 positioned in the audience), 1 flugelhorn, 4 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle tree, bell tree, tam-tam, cymbals, suspended cymbals, church bells, temple bells, tom-tom, tambourine, tenor drum, bass drum, ratchet, glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, tubular bells, harp, celesta and strings. In addition, the performance requires the use of a pre-recorded CD containing the sound of ringing bells. estimated length: 38 minutes The concerto form, like that of the symphony, has attracted Penderecki for much of his career. Indeed, one of the epiphanies he experienced in his return to traditional long-form genres was to realize the enduring power of structures such as the sonata form. The composer compares the durability of classical form to the realm of architecture, where elements invented by the ancient Greeks, for example, have been reused in new contexts throughout the ages. It was Penderecki’s First Violin Concerto, written for Isaac Stern in the mid-1970s, that marked a pivotal shift toward musical rhetoric used by lateRomantic composers. Concertante works figure abundantly in his catalogue — particularly for strings and woodwinds — but Penderecki for many years felt intimidated by the prospect of attempting a piano concerto. “Especially here, with the piano,” he says, “it seems everything has already been done. I love the examples of Rachmaninoff, Bartók, Shostakovich — the little concerto for piano and trumpet is

one of his best pieces. But in my own writing I had been more interested in string instruments and the human voice.” When Penderecki finally decided to attempt his own piano concerto, he had in mind a work of modest dimensions, lighthearted in character, to be called a Capriccio. However, the catastrophe of 9/11 intervened while he was in the middle of composing it, and Penderecki was moved to a radical change of tack. On that horrible September day, he wrote a chorale-melody, which he introduced as a crucial structural device. Moreover, the concerto expanded into a bigger work of a much darker nature, its “capriccio” elements now menacing, but with a breakthrough enabled by the chorale. Penderecki later revised the final section to balance out its proportions with the rest of the concerto. Like his First Violin Concerto, the Piano Concerto unfolds as a single vast movement. The opening idea — a briskly anxious motif deep in the strings that pivots on a half-step, ominous as a shark fin — tightly unifies the composition, but there is also enormous diversity of mood and texture. Penderecki weaves numerous episodes within the concerto’s span, including cadenza asides, slow-movementlike meditations (the first of these introduced by solo English horn), tensely energetic regroupings, and the ringing tintinnabulation of the final peroration. After each phase of development, the abruptly rhythmic opening motif returns with a fateful charge. Penderecki builds the concerto as a dialectic between its

wrenching finality and the new, transcendent element represented by the chorale, which is first announced by celesta and shimmering violas, with tracery from harp and piano. Yet, as in the sweeping last movement of Mahler’s Second Symphony (also named “Resurrection” and featuring a recurrent chorale texture), the first appearance of this material is only suggestive, soon to be swept away by a section of raging turmoil. The chorale returns in different instrumental groupings before it is at last given in fuller dress. Meanwhile, as the concerto progresses, its various turns and “zigzags” reveal what amounts to a résumé of the composer’s own past, with variations on the central motivic material that recap aspects of his earlier work, including the avantgarde years. With the coda — and its hints of Mussorgsky — Penderecki brings the full significance of the chorale home. He explains that he gave the chorale — and hence the concerto itself — the name of “Resurrection” since he intended the music to suggest a kind of victory over death. “I didn’t want to write a requiem for the victims of 9/11 but wanted instead to give a sense of hope.” — Thomas May is the program annotator for the Nashville Symphony and writes regularly about music and theater. His books include Decoding Wagner and The John Adams Reader.

KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI, conductor Born in Dębica, Poland, in 1933, Krzysztof Penderecki is one 2010

of the most esteemed and widely discussed composers of our time. The development of his compositional style has reflected the evolution of new music from the avant-garde of the 1960s up to the present day, through which time he has preserved his own distinctive voice. Like other leading composers of our century, Penderecki has also built an international reputation as a conductor. In Europe he has conducted the Berlin Philharmonic as well as orchestras in France, England, Italy, Austria, Sweden and Switzerland, and his American appearances have included performances with the Chicago Symphony, the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra, among others. The 2009/10 season includes residencies at the University of Toronto and Yale University, culminating in a performance at Carnegie Hall. He currently serves as artistic director of Sinfonia Varsovia (Warsaw Sinfonia). After finishing his studies at the Krakow High School of Music, Penderecki immediately began his rise to prominence, winning all three prizes at the 1959 contest of the Polish Composers’ Association. In early works such as Emanations, Strophes and, most notably, Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, he put himself at the forefront of the avant-garde, combining a highly experimental and expressionistic use of sound with a radical humanistic message. His most recent works include several notable choral pieces: Seven Gates of Jerusalem, premiered in Jerusalem in January 1997 as part of celebrations marking the city’s 3,000-year

anniversary; Hymn to St. Danill, premiered in October 1997 to mark the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow; and Credo, premiered at the 1998 Oregon Bach Festival. Credo was recorded for Hänssler Classics by the Oregon Bach Festival Orchestra and Choir and was presented with the 1999 Echo-Klassik Preis of the Deutsche Phonoakademie. Penderecki’s Resurrection Piano Concerto — his first major work for piano and orchestra — was premiered at New York’s Carnegie Hall and Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center in May 2002. It was commissioned by the Carnegie Hall Corporation and written especially for Emanuel Ax and the Philadelphia Orchestra. BARRY DOUGLAS, piano Hailed as “a supremely talented and genuine artist,” Barry Douglas is one of the most versatile and brilliant pianists of today. He is active as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, conductor and festival director, and his artistry has been acclaimed by critics and audiences worldwide. Highlights of his 2009/10 season include return engagements with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Vancouver Symphony and debuts as performer and conductor with the Moscow State Philharmonic. In the United States, he will appear with the Atlanta, Alabama and Columbus Symphonies, among others. Best known for his performances of the large-scale Romantic works, including Brahms, Rachmaninoff and Tchaikovsky, Douglas is also a champion of

Barry Douglas

20th- and 21st-century composers such as Reger, Britten, Corigliano and Penderecki. Works premiered by Douglas include Penderecki’s Resurrection Piano Concerto, which he first performed in Warsaw in 2002 at the behest of the composer; five years later, he debuted Penderecki’s revised score for the work with the Cincinatti Orchestra. In 2009, he performed with the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra in honor of Penderecki’s 75th birthday. Prior to winning the Gold Medal in the Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition — where he had the distinction of being the only non-Russian since Van Cliburn in 1958 to have won the award outright — Douglas was awarded the Bronze Medal at the Van Cliburn Competition in Texas in 1985 and the top prize in the Santander Paloma O’Shea Competition in Spain. He is also the recipient of an Emmy Award. He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Music, where he is Prince Consort Professor of Piano, and has received honorary doctorates from Queens University in Belfast, the National University of Ireland in Maynooth outside Dublin, and the University of Wyoming.

A native of Ireland, Barry Douglas is music director and founder of the chamber orchestra Camerata Ireland, which brings the most outstanding Irish musicians together from all over the world to celebrate Ireland and to provide a showcase for exceptionally talented young Irish musicians. He makes his home in Paris, France, and Lurgan, Ireland, where he lives with his wife and three children. For more information, visit www.barrydouglas.com.

BRANFORD MARSALIS, saxophones World-renowned saxophonist Branford Marsalis, born in 1960, has always been a man of numerous musical interests, from jazz, blues and funk to classical music. The three-time GRAMMY® winner has continued to exercise and expand his skills as an instrumentalist, as a composer and as the head of Marsalis Music, the label he founded in 2002. The New Orleans native was born into one of the city’s most distinguished musical families, which includes patriarch/ pianist/educator Ellis and Branford’s siblings Wynton, Delfeayo and Jason. Branford gained initial acclaim through his work with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and his brother Wynton’s quintet in the early 1980s before forming his own ensemble. He has also performed and recorded with a who’s-who of jazz giants, including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock and Sonny Rollins. Known for his innovative spirit and broad musical scope, Marsalis is equally at home on the stages of the world’s greatest clubs and concert halls, where he has performed jazz with his quartet and has performed his own unique approach to contemporary popular music with his band Buckshot LeFonque. In recent years, he also has become increasingly active as a featured soloist with such acclaimed orchestras as the Chicago, Detroit, Düsseldorf and North Carolina Symphonies and the Boston Pops, in a growing repertoire that

includes compositions by Copland, Debussy, Glazunov, Ibert, Mahler, Milhaud, Rorem and Vaughan Williams. Marsalis’ nearly two dozen recordings in these various styles have received numerous accolades. His latest CD, Metamorphosen, marks the 10th anniversary of his quartet, which features pianist Joey Calderazzo, bassist Eric Revis and drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts. The disc includes original compositions by all four members in a variety of moods, as well as features for Marsalis on tenor, soprano and alto saxophones. Marsalis is also dedicated to changing the future of jazz in the classroom. He has shared his knowledge at such universities as Michigan State, San Francisco State, Stanford and North

Carolina Central, with his full quartet participating in an innovative extended residency at the NCCU campus. Beyond these efforts, he is also developing a new approach to jazz education through Marsalis Jams, an interactive program in which leading jazz ensembles present concert/jam sessions in miniresidencies at colleges and high schools. Marsalis Jams has visited campuses in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Southwest, and established an ongoing Marsalis Berklee Jams series with the Berklee College of Music in 2008. Whether onstage, in the recording studio, in the classroom or in the community, Marsalis represents a commitment to musical excellence and a determination to keep music at the forefront.

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."

In a good economy, the audiences who frequent and support the arts in Nashville are a great audience to reach with your advertising message. 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

Violinist Booker Rowe

Pioneering member of the orchestra recalls his years in Nashville

n January 17, the Nashville Symphony will present Let Freedom Ring!, its annual concert celebrating the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In honor of this occasion, InConcert interviewed violinist Booker Rowe, who in 1963 became one of the first African-American musicians to perform as a member of the Nashville Symphony. (W.O. Smith was the other.) Today, Rowe enjoys a distinguished career as a recitalist, chamber musician and member of the Philadelphia Orchestra’s second violin section. He recalls his time in Nashville, from 1963-65, as one filled with music and collegiality. “Before I came to Nashville, I had also won an audition to join the Detroit Symphony, so I had to decide where I was going. I would have been the first African-American in either place, so that wasn’t the primary issue. I decided on Nashville because I had the chance to fill the second violin chair in the Nashville Symphony String Quartet. The orchestra wasn’t performing many concerts, but the quartet played 250 performances a year. We had a series at Vanderbilt University and one at Cheekwood, and we performed at schools all over the area. “My experience in the orchestra was interesting; Willis Page was our conductor. I remember learning a lesson in protocol when one violin soloist, who was very well known as a Paganini specialist, joined the orchestra. At one point during rehearsal, he addressed us about what to play, and Page got furious. He told the soloist, ‘Do not address my orchestra!’ Since then, I have watched soloists throughout my career, and for the most part they do not address the orchestra unless they have permission from the conductor.”

By the time Rowe joined the Nashville Symphony, several years had passed since the city’s civil rights protests in 1960. “In my own experience, things were great,” he recalls, “though I do remember one day when several colleagues and I went somewhere for lunch. We realized we’d been sitting there for a while, and no one had taken our order. It turned out they wouldn’t serve our table because I was there. What could I do but walk out? My colleagues went with me. That was the only place I remember running into a situation like that — the last vestiges of Jim Crow.” Rowe’s experience in Nashville was formative for a great many other reasons, he says. “I was in my early 20s, and playing in the Nashville Symphony String Quartet really me helped a great deal, because I learned the importance of cooperation and balance: You have to be sensitive to what other people are doing around you. “I also enjoyed the fact that there were so many colleges in Nashville. I taught at Tennessee State University, had affiliations at Fisk and took courses Peabody. And I enjoyed the fact that you had the Grand Ole Opry — I got to do a few things there as well. “This year marks my 39th season with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and it has been a marvelous career. I feel very privileged to have been a part of it. I still remember the first time I ever filled in with the Philadelphia Orchestra — it was like listening in stereo, with beautiful sounds coming from all around you.” —Jonathan Marx
