Overture It was inspiring to see how the entire Nashville Symphony family — musicians, patrons, staff, volunteers — came together to overcome the difficulties brought on by the flood. As we approach the close of the 2010/11 season, it’s amazing to reflect on everything that has happened over the last 12 months. A year ago, we were struggling to make sense of the flood. Schermerhorn Symphony Center was closed to the public, and the ventilation tubes snaking throughout the building made it look like a patient on life support. We had many months of rebuilding ahead of us. Yet in the midst of all this uncertainty, we did whatever it took to ensure that the Nashville Symphony was able to fulfill its mission of serving the community. This commitment was key to our survival and our success. It was inspiring to see how the entire Nashville Symphony family — musicians, patrons, staff, volunteers — came together to overcome the difficulties brought on by the flood. By continuing to perform concerts and provide our free education and engagement programs, we were able to help return a sense of normalcy to our organization and to our community. Today, we are back at Schermerhorn Symphony Center, and the building is better and stronger than ever. So is our orchestra, and it’s because of what we have learned during the past year. We just closed our 2010/11 SunTrust Classical Series with performances of Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony — a piece that I had programmed, interestingly enough, before the flood ever happened.

Now when I hear this music, it sounds even more poignant and meaningful to me. It affirms the power of our own story: our determination, our resilience, our ability to transform a tremendous challenge into an opportunity for rebirth and growth. We feel profoundly grateful to the many people and institutions who helped us through the flood recovery process — in particular the incredible rebuilding team led by American Constructors Inc., and venues such as Lipscomb University, Ryman Auditorium and TPAC, who opened their doors to us when we needed a place to perform. Most of all, we have an even deeper appreciation for our beautiful concert hall and for you, our patrons. Thank you for traveling with us as we led an itinerant existence last summer and fall, and thank you for helping us to celebrate our momentous return to the Schermerhorn this year. This month we continue to celebrate with our Summer Festival and our Regions Community Concerts series. These lively, fun-filled events are the perfect run-up to our knockout 2011/12 season, which will include a Saturday-night performance at Carnegie Hall next May. I’m glad you’re with us tonight, and I look forward to seeing you here next season!

Return to Forever IV and Zappa Plays Zappa to stop at the Schermerhorn Get ready for one BIG night of music at Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Monday, August 22, when the legendary jazz-fusion supergroup Return to Forever IV joins the Frank Zappa tribute band Zappa Plays Zappa for an unforgettable concert. Local jazz fans have had the opportunity to see RTF members Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke at the Schermerhorn in recent years, but this concert will feature the whole powerhouse ensemble, who helped define the sound of fusion in the 1970s with such albums as Romantic Warrior. Founding member and keyboardist Corea recently re-formed the group, bringing together bassist Clarke and drummer Lenny White with two new members, guitarist Frank Gambale and electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty
— both renowned musicians in their own right. More than just a tribute band, Zappa Plays Zappa is the family legacy of guitarist Dweezil Zappa, son of the imitable Frank Zappa, who died in 1993. During his lifetime, the elder Zappa was best known for his outspokenness and his offbeat sense of humor, but he was also a phenomenally gifted composer and musician, creating singular, sophisticated rock masterpieces. For the past five years, Dweezil has studied his father’s music intently, taking apart complex solos and entire songs so that he could bring them back to life in Zappa Plays Zappa. This will be the group’s first Nashville appearance. Tickets for this can’t-miss show are now on sale at NashvilleSymphony.org or by calling 615.687.6400.

Nashville Symphony’s origins are firmly rooted in the city of Nashville, but today the orchestra’s impact is felt all across Middle Tennessee. To help increase awareness and build relationships throughout the region, the Nashville Symphony last year formed the Nashville Symphony Council (NSC), an organization of more than 450 leaders from Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson and Sumner counties who serve as ambassadors for the organization. Their charge is to spread the word about the key role our world-class orchestra plays in ensuring the cultural, educational and economic health of the entire Middle Tennessee community.

Education&Community Engagement This year, the Nashville Symphony will reach more than 200,000 people through its Education and Community Engagement programs, which seek to inspire, to inform and to uplift people of all ages and backgrounds. This month, we’re proud to present our Regions Community Concerts, which have become a Nashville tradition. Assistant Conductor Kelly Corcoran leads these free, fesNashville Symphony musicians Deidre Bacco, Anna Lisa tive evenings of music in local parks, which share the joy Hoepfinger, Lynn Peithman and Dan Reinker perform at and excitement of live orchestral music with thousands of Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Middle Tennessee residents every year. For a complete list of upcoming events, turn to the back page of this month’s InConcert. This spring, the Nashville Symphony’s Community Engagement activities also include the relaunch of its participation in Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center’s Music in the Clinic program, which offers musical performances as a way of helping to comfort and support patients and their families. Musicians perform in treatment rooms, which gives them an opportunity to interact with patients in a one-on-one setting at what can often be a difficult and stressful time. In addition, small ensembles of musicians also perform in waiting rooms and lobbies, which helps to enliven the long stretches of time that patients and their loved ones often experience when undergoing or waiting for treatment. “It’s clear to us that our playing and our presence at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center has an effect on the patients and their families,” says Dan Reinker, Principal Violist for the Nashville

Isabel Bartles, first violin Hometown: New York, N.Y. Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 1991 What’s your earliest musical memory? It’s probably going to see the musical Half a Sixpence on Broadway when I was about 6 years. My dad was in the orchestra pit. It was very exciting. So your father was a musician as well? Yes, his name was Alfred H. Bartles. He grew up here, and when he was a kid, he used to go hear the Nashville Symphony perform in War Memorial Auditorium. In the 1970s, he was a cellist for the orchestra. He taught at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville at the time, and he’d come down to Nashville with several other faculty members for rehearsals and concerts. He was a composer as well, and the Symphony premiered a piece of his back in the 1960s. Then, in the mid-’90s, after I joined the orchestra, we played it with Kenneth Schermerhorn. That was exciting — I’d heard it all my life, but I’d never played it before then. It has been quite a season for the Nashville Symphony. What do you feel like you learned from the experience of going through the flood? It was very sad for me, because this huge effort had been put into building this beautiful, beautiful hall. It’s quite unique because it’s a modernized version of the greatest halls in Europe, and we’re so fortunate to have it. Now that we’re back, it’s like we love it even more. It’s such a privilege and a joy to play in the Schermerhorn. At the same time, we appreciate all of the places, like Lipscomb University, that made it possible for us to continue playing during the rebuilding process. Do you perform or teach outside of your work with the Symphony? I teach private lessons. My students mainly come from Linden Waldorf School.

What music do you to listen to for enjoyment? Whatever the latest thing on the radio is — I listen to 107.5 The River. If you weren’t an orchestra musician, what would you be doing? I’ve already done it — I was a flight attendant for a while, but I quit. So now I’d have to say that if I wasn’t an orchestra musician…I’d probably be an orchestra musician. Any interesting plans for the summer? I’m going to Helsinki to visit my roommates from when I lived in Israel. We’re going to get together and play string quartets. What are you most looking forward to performing next season? Everything!

Support the Arts: Bolt Them to Your Car!
You’ve seen them around town — those eye-catching license plates decorated with a saxophone-playing cat, a grinning fish and a colorful rainbow. But did you know they help a worthy cause? Annual sales of these and other specialty license plates provide more than two-thirds of the funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grants programs. So if you love the arts, invest in one of these license plates. Arts organizations that receive Tennessee Arts Commission grants are much better equipped to serve their communities and improve the quality of life for people of all ages and backgrounds. When you purchase one of these specialty license plates, you are:
• Providing the primary source of funding for the Tennessee Arts Commission’s grant programs • Funding projects in communities both large and small, urban and rural • Enhancing education and appreciation of the arts
• Building Tennessee’s next generation of artists and art students • Generating tax dollars for the state • Helping to train a qualified workforce • Leveraging private dollars for local arts activities
If you’d like to order a specialty license plate, you can visit your local County Clerk’s Office, or you can order one online at www.tennessee.gov/revenue/vehicle/ licenseplates/specialty.htm. The Nashville Symphony thanks you for your support of the arts! Arts organizations can’t succeed in their missions without funds from local, state and national government agencies.

HECTOR BERLIOZ Born on December 11, 1803, in La Côte-Saint-André, France; died on March 8, 1869, in Paris Le carnaval romain Overture, Op. 9 [Roman Carnival] Berlioz composed the Roman Carnival Overture as a concert piece in 1843, recycling material from his failed 1838 opera Benvenuto Cellini. The Overture, an example of Berlioz’s sparkling orchestration, highlights the opera’s themes of communal festivity and artistic triumph. First performance: February 3, 1844, in Paris. First Nashville Symphony performance: February 17, 1953, at War Memorial Auditorium with Music Director Guy Taylor. Estimated length: 10 minutes Recommended recording: The great Berlioz interpreter Charles Munch leads the Boston Symphony in a thrilling performance that has been nicely remastered (RCA).

What to listen for The festive music that had proved so problematic is exactly what Berlioz chose to launch the Overture. It also provides important material for the rest of the piece. The fiery opening is brief, suddenly yielding to an introspective, wistful strain scored for solo English horn. This melody — quintessential Berlioz — represents Cellini’s love for Teresa, whose father has promised her hand to a rival sculptor. An expanded version of the boisterous carnival music follows. In the opera, Cellini finally completes his commission for the famous bronze statue of Perseus, against all odds, and is thus able to marry his beloved Teresa. Berlioz symbolizes the artist’s double victory by weaving the love theme into the somersaulting carnival music in a swirling, vivacious climax. The Roman Carnival Overture is scored for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 cornets, 3 trombones, timpani, cymbals, 2 tambourines, triangle and strings.

French composers on a program celebrating “Spanish nights”? As it happens, those featured tonight were, artistically speaking, great border crossers. The arch-Romantic Hector Berlioz set the pattern for his successors, though his focus in the Roman Carnival Overture was on a different part of the Latin world. In his early breakthrough work, the Symphonie fantastique (1830), Berlioz drew on his bouts with unrequited love to depict the fate of the artist, but the following year brought another important source of inspiration when the composer headed to Rome for a lengthy sojourn and traveled widely throughout Italy. The stimulus of being abroad provided Berlioz with ideas for several new compositions, including his first completed opera. The composer became fascinated by the Renaissance phenomenon Benvenuto Cellini — the Florentine sculptor, goldsmith, musician and soldier — and homed in on the operatic potential of his thrilling autobiography, in which art and love together prove triumphant. Berlioz’s own Memoirs, however, recount the fiasco of the premiere of the opera (named after its hero, Cellini) in 1838 — a humiliation that Berlioz compared to being “stretched on the rack.” A chief reason for the opera’s failure was the willfully incompetent performance led by conductor François-Antoine Habeneck, which effectively sabotaged the piece. Berlioz recalled that Habeneck refused to follow the lively tempo prescribed for the Roman Carnival (i.e., Mardi gras) celebrations that figure in the opera’s plot and precipitate a crisis for Cellini. In an attempt to salvage some of the excellent music from the operatic score, Berlioz later crafted Le Carnaval romain as an independent concert overture.

MANUEL DE FALLA Born on November 23, 1876, in Cádiz, Spain; died on November 14, 1946, in Alta Gracia, Argentina Nights in the Gardens of Spain for Piano and Orchestra
spanish nights
De Falla began Nights in the Gardens of Spain in 1909 as a set of piano pieces in 1909 but was subsequently persuaded to develop it into a full-fledged orchestral work featuring an important part for solo piano. In 1915 he finished the score, which combines the techniques of musical Impressionism he had learned from his colleagues in Paris with a newfound appreciation for his native Andalusian heritage. First performance: April 9, 1916, in Madrid, with José Cubiles as pianist and Enrique Fernández Arbós conducting the Madrid Symphony Orchestra. First Nashville Symphony performance: October 9 & 10, 1972, at War Memorial Auditorium with soloist Alicia de Larrocha and Music Director Thor Johnson. Estimated length: 25 minutes Recommended listening: Pianist Alicia de Larrocha is soloist in the highly atmospheric recording with the London Philharmonic under Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos (Philips).
The only composer on our program who was actually Spanish-born, Manuel de Falla paradoxically came to a full appreciation of the essence of Spanish music while he was living in Paris. His career exemplifies the powerful role of cultural cross-pollination, this time from a Spanish point of view. In 1907, Falla, a native of the port city of Cádiz in Andalusian Spain, moved to Paris. There he developed close ties with Debussy and Ravel as well as with fellow expatriate Spanish composers. It was just at this time that Debussy and Ravel were experimenting with form and texture in piano and orchestral compositions that drew inspiration from Spanish imagery and settings. Their musical circle also included the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes, for whom Falla set out to write a set of evocative nocturnes titled Nights in the Gardens of Spain (Noches en los jardines de España). On the advice of Viñes and others, Falla decided to expand his scope and create an orchestral triptych, which he composed after returning to Spain upon the outbreak of war in 1914. He dedicated the score to Viñes. In his early years, Falla had already been interested in investigating the musical traits that characterized Andalusia, but his time in Paris triggered an epiphany: Instead of literally recasting folk
materials, the most effective way to write “Spanish music” was to evoke it, and Debussy’s sensual manipulation of atmosphere and impression had suggested a way. Nights in the Gardens of Spain shows Falla confidently applying this insight in a work that combines aspects of a piano concerto and a tone poem, and which the composer himself described as “symphonic impressions” meant to evoke “places, sensations and feelings.”
What to listen for In fact, Falla drew a distinction between “expressive” and “descriptive” music, insisting that Nights involved the former and was not intended as mere programmatic illustration. Instead, sounds that conjure images of festivals and celebrations merge inextricably with subjective, shifting moods: “for melancholy and mystery have their part also,” as the composer remarked. Similarly, Falla reworks elements of popular music from Andalusia — including dance and the flamencostyle “deep” singing known as cante jondo — but filters these through his state-of-the-art orchestral imagination and develops them in symphonic ways. The first panel, “In the Generalife,” refers to the Alhambra Palace complex in Granada and immediately evokes Falla’s sense of “mystery.”

The exotic turns of the first theme are further elaborated by the piano writing, while a more exuberant theme conjures sparkling fountains amid the shadowy garden scene. “Distant Dance,” the briefest panel, stirs and flutters to the pulse of a dance in an unidentified garden. The piano joins in with captivating rhythmic motifs, and its pas de deux with the orchestra builds in excitement, leading without pause to the final scene, “In the Gardens of the Sierra de Córdoba.” Here Falla clearly gives the piano a role as a Gypsy singer encouraged by the surrounding onlookers. The orchestration not only elicits a sense of shared festivity, but — especially in the magic final pages — distills the nocturnal beauty of the setting with an air of gentle melancholy, as of past joys recalled. In addition to solo piano, Nights in the Gardens of Spain is scored for an orchestra of piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, triangle, celesta, harp and strings. Georges Bizet’s operatic masterpiece about the beautiful, free-spirited Gypsy Carmen is set in and around Seville, but its tone of obsessive passion and destructive jealousy has nothing in common with the antics of the wily barber Figaro. For all the Spanish associations Bizet conjures in the opera — from dance and serenade to landscape painting — the composer in fact never visited the country next door to his own. Even more ironic is the initial fate of what has long ranked among the most popular of all operas. Carmen’s premiere was a flop and a critical scandal to boot, thanks both to the story’s perceived immorality and to Bizet’s innovative use of the orchestra. Bizet died only a few months after the opening and never knew the overwhelming success his masterpiece would enjoy. Along with its familiarity in the opera house, Carmen is a ubiquitous cultural phenomenon: Bizet’s version of femme fatale-ity has been recycled and sampled countless times. Following the composer’s premature death, his associates were intent on salvaging the music despite the recent failure of the opera. Two concert suites — one of instrumental music that Bizet placed between scenes, and the other of famous vocal numbers arranged for orchestra alone — became repertory standards and provide the source for the excerpts we hear.
What to listen for Les Toréadors presents music from the opera’s overture (which is also used in the final scene). The festive cheer of the parading toreadors evokes the public spaces in which

GEORGES BIZET Born on October 25, 1838, in Paris; died on June 3, 1875, in Bougival, just outside Paris Suite from Carmen Bizet composed Carmen in 1874. This series of instrumental extracts is taken from the two concert suites that were edited and published posthumously by Fritz Hoffmann. Based on the composer’s original orchestration, these excerpts highlight the lyricism, color and vitality that have kept Bizet’s final opera a popular favorite in the concert hall as well. First performance: The opera Carmen opened on March 3, 1875, in Paris. First Nashville Symphony performance: A concert staging of Carmen was presented April 17, 1956, at War Memorial Auditorium with Music Director Guy Taylor. Carmen Suite No. 1 was first performed May 3, 1980, at War Memorial Auditorium with Assistant Conductor Jay Dawson. Estimated length: 25 minutes Recommended listening: Leonard Bernstein leads the New York Philharmonic in a zesty account that includes the two Carmen suites in their entirety (Sony).
These extracts from Carmen are scored for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, triangle, tambourine, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, castanets, 2 harps and strings. Ravel composed Boléro in 1928 to fulfill a commission for a ballet. Ravel deployed his renowned mastery of orchestral color and nuance in shockingly unexpected ways for this simple, Spanishthemed tale of a dancer stoking the desire of her onlookers.
MAURICE RAVEL Born on March 7, 1875, in Ciboure, France; died on December 28, 1937, in Paris Boléro
First performance: November 22, 1928, at the Paris Opera, with Walter Straram conducting. First Nashville Symphony performance: April 17 & 18, 1961, at War Memorial Auditorium with Music Director Willis Page. Estimated length: 16 minutes Recommended listening: Herbert von Karajan’s electric interpretation with the Berlin Philharmonic on Deutsche Grammophon still holds its own as a classic.
With his colleague Debussy, Ravel shared a long-standing fascination with Spanish themes. One of his earliest pieces was in fact the Habanera for two pianos, which won Debussy’s admiration. Ravel later incorporated it into one of his earliest full-scale orchestral compositions — titled, appropriately, Rapsodie espagnole. Ravel’s mother, who was of Basque origin and who had spent many years in Spain, imbued her son with a lifelong enthusiasm for Spanish culture.

Carmen’s tragedy is played out, from her first meeting with the soldier Don José to her murder against the dramatic backdrop of a bullfight in progress. Trembling strings introduce the Prelude and its darkly intoned, ominous motif, which is associated with the fateful desire stirred up by Carmen and contrasts starkly with the sunlit cheer of the crowd music. In the Aragonaise, Bizet introduces one of several Spanish-flavored dances that are laced throughout the opera. It serves in its original context as an interlude between the third and fourth acts, right before the climactic bullfight during which Don José confronts his ex-lover Carmen. The deft interplay of rhythms and enticing woodwind melodies is a good example of Bizet’s imaginative orchestration, which gives Carmen so much of its flavor. The bucolic Intermezzo introduces the third act. Here the scene has shifted outside Seville to a remote place where Don José, now a fugitive, pursues Carmen. The Sequedille is both a folksong-based aria and, as Carmen delivers it, a kind of performance art with dance in which she first seduces the hapless José. His life as a soldier is depicted by the marching music of Les Dragons d’Alcala. When she first appears in the opera, Carmen delivers the Habanera, explaining her philosophy that love cannot be tamed. (In its original form, her aria is echoed by a chorus of her fellow factory workers.) Against the Habanera’s signature dance rhythm (an import from Cuba), Bizet unfolds a seductive melody he apparently thought had originated as a folk tune, though it was in fact a popular tune written by Spanish composer Sebastián Yradier. The macho, decisive phrases of the Toreador Song, by contrast, are the emblem of Don José’s rival, the famous bullfighter Escamillo. Danse Bohème is a flamenco-powered showstopper reminding us that Carmen is very much in control, hardly a passive victim. Here, in front of a group of soldiers at a disreputable tavern, she performs an impromptu dance with her Gypsy friends. The dance’s gradually accelerating frenzy becomes a metaphor for Carmen’s irresistible effect on those around her.

In Boléro, a work dating from the end of his career, Ravel’s love of Spanish themes and his ongoing preoccupation with dance converge. Like several of his best-known works, Boléro began life as a ballet before it went on to become even more familiar in the concert hall — not to mention in film scores and elsewhere in popular culture. Ravel had a special gift for transcribing music originally conceived for piano into dazzling orchestral guises. Hoping to benefit from this gift, Ida Rubinstein — a celebrity ballerina formerly with the Paris-based Ballets Russes dance company — asked Ravel to orchestrate a preexisting set of piano pieces on Spanish themes composed by Isaac Albéniz. Copyright issues complicated the project, though, so Ravel ditched it in favor of an entirely new ballet score for the scenario suggested by Rubinstein.
What to listen for As if to underline the stark simplicity of the ballet (see the sidebar at right), Ravel fixates on the easily recognizable and hypnotic rhythmic pattern of the traditional bolero. It consists of two measures in triple meter at a moderate tempo. This is repeated by the snare drum throughout the piece and is one of the two repetitive elements around which Ravel structured his score. The other is, of course, the Boléro melody itself. Laid out in two sections, each of which is repeated, the melody unwinds like a charmed snake. Moreover, Ravel delegates different instruments from his unusually large orchestra to voice the theme, starting with a solo flute and passing from solo instruments to instrumental choirs. In other words, for all its repetitions, Boléro also uses a form of variation. The melody remains the same, but the instrumental coloration changes. Two things about Ravel’s concept are especially radical. (There were even speculations that the music was evidence of insanity, even though Boléro quickly became a hit.) First is the singleminded monomania of the repetition, which almost anticipates the continual looping of Minimalism. Second is the complete absence of thematic development, that mainstay of musical content in the Western classical tradition. Yet the piece seems to grow: Ravel structures Boléro as a slowly building crescendo. Moreover, the constant shifting of tone colors against the rigid rhythmic pattern generates a sense of tension that, at the climax, is finally released in a chaotic sonic explosion. Ravel scored Boléro for a large orchestra consisting of piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes (2nd doubling oboe d’amore), English horn, 2 B-flat clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, piccolo trumpet, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 saxophones, timpani, snare drums, cymbals, tam-tam, celesta, harp and strings.

The Story of ‘Boléro’ Unlike Ravel’s classically themed, large-scale ballet Daphnis et Chloé or the episodic dance suite illustrating Mother Goose fairy-tales, the original ballet scenario of Boléro focuses attention on a single dancer. The atmosphere for this ultrasimple story line is reminiscent in some ways of Carmen. A female flamenco dancer in a Spanish tavern is lustfully cheered by the crowd. She leaps onto a table and dances with mounting passion as the men are driven into a state of excitement by her performance.

“How could I know my son was going to grow up to be Leonard Bernstein?” So the father of an American legend once famously quipped. In 1943, the 25-yearold Lenny was catapulted to international fame thanks to a pair of career-changing events that occurred within a few months of each other. One was his dramatically unexpected debut conducting the New York Philharmonic, when he filled in at the last minute for an ailing Bruno Walter. The second was an invitation by up-and-coming choreographer Jerome Robbins to write the score for a new one-act ballet, Fancy Free. When it premiered in April 1944 at the old Metropolitan Opera House, the ballet was an instant critical and commercial hit. Fancy Free was the proving ground for a revolutionary type of musical theater in which dance became an integral part of the narrative. Bernstein and Robbins soon decided to expand the ballet’s scenario into a Broadway musical called On the Town. The composer teamed up with his friends Betty Comden and Adolph Green, who provided book and lyrics based on Robbins’s simple story of three sailors during wartime who spend their 24-hour shore leave searching for love and adventure in the Big Apple. While they fleshed out the story, Bernstein supplied an entirely new score. His wondrous mélange of jazz-fueled dance, boogie-woogie, tender ballads and energetic ensembles — all a valentine to New York — hit just the right note and launched his brilliant career writing Broadway shows.
What to listen for Bernstein distills the essence of On the Town, which was centered on dance, into his compact concert suite. The first episode “The Great Lover Displays Himself,” occurs as part of a dream sequence in which the sailor Gabey fantasizes about his ideal woman inspired by a subway poster (“Miss Turnstiles”). This brief, snappy number, with its prominent trombone part, gives a flavor of Bernstein’s idiosyncratic approach to jazz idioms, mixed with a touch or two of Stravinsky. Gabey’s romantic side comes to the fore in the bluesy shades of “Lonely Town,” as he despairs of finding his true love in the anonymous, coldhearted city. It’s a great example of a basic dualism in Bernstein’s music: Complex passages of nervous energy are typically set against disarmingly spellbinding melodies that evoke a lost American

LEONARD BERNSTEIN Born on August 25, 1918, in Lawrence, Massachusetts; died on October 14, 1990, in New York City Three Dance Episodes from On the Town Bernstein wrote the musical On the Town in 1944, and it became his first Broadway hit when it opened in December. The following year he orchestrated a set of extracts from his original score to create a short symphonic suite. Here Bernstein has already begun to fuse the varied worlds his genius inhabited — musical theater, concert hall, ballet and jazz — into a sophisticated but highly accessible compositional style. First performance: February 3, 1946, with the composer conducting the San Francisco Symphony in San Francisco’s Civic Auditorium. First Nashville Symphony performance: March 2 & 3, 1984, at Tennessee Performing Arts Center with guest conductor John Covelli. Estimated length: 10 minutes Recommended listening: Bernstein conducts the New York Philharmonic in a definitive recording on Sony that also includes the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and other Bernstein classics.
Bernstein scores Three Dances Episodes from On the Town for flute (doubling piccolo), oboe, 3 clarinets (doubling E-flat clarinet, alto saxophone and bass clarinet), 2 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, traps, suspended cymbal, triangle, woodblock, xylophone, piano and strings.
DANIEL SCHNYDER Born on March 12, 1961, in Zurich, Switzerland; currently resides in New York City Concerto for Tenor Trombone and Orchestra Daniel Schnyder composed the Concerto for Tenor Trombone and Orchestra in 2010-11. The piece was commissioned by Mark and Theresa Tillinger, with generous support from Dr. Joseph Awad, for Joseph Alessi and the Nashville Symphony, in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the International Trombone Festival. A composer and performer who blurs the boundaries between classical tradition and jazz, Schnyder incorporates specifically American techniques of trombone playing developed over the past half-century into this new work. First performance: The Trombone Concerto receives its world premiere at these concerts. Estimated length: 22 minutes Recommended listening: Schnyder has an extensive discography, including 10 CDs of his own compositions and numerous releases on which he appears as performer. subZERO, his Concerto for Bass Trombone, is available on the CD Absolution (Enja Nova), which received a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Classical Small Ensemble Recording in 2002. More information can be found on the composer’s website at www. danielschnyder.com.

innocence. In the final episode, “Times Square: 1944,” Bernstein spells out the infectious tune subliminally heard in the first episode — “New York, New York,” the signature hit of On the Town. A brilliant series of variations on the tune’s up-and-down shape sound out an exuberant metaphor for the untiring, sexy energy of the American city.

What to listen for The composer has supplied the following description of his new Tenor Trombone Concerto: Cast in three movements, the Trombone Concerto has a very distinctive American character which reflects the last 50 years of American trombone playing without limiting itself to classical traditions, but extending to Cuban, Brazilian, jazz, experimental avant-garde and other aspects of modern and ultramodern trombone playing. The instrument developed like rocket science in the last century, from the solo in Ravel’s Boléro, which was considered unplayable at the time, to the extravaganzas and explorations of players like Joe Alessi, Christian Lindberg, David Taylor and Stefan Schulz, just to name a few. My compositions tap into this new and newest history of the instrument. In this work I have written a concerto from an American point of view, knowing that the piece will be premiered in Nashville, probably the “most American” music city there is. It would be a big mistake, though, to assume that my perception of American music of today has something to do with the Americana of Aaron Copland or Samuel Barber. My music is driven by American music inventions from the mid-1950s to today and uses styles and techniques developed in the United States mostly in the last part of the 20th century. This Concerto was unplayable and unthinkable 40 years ago. In addition to solo trombone, Schnyder scores his Trombone Concerto for piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, clarinet, bass clarinet, bassoon, contrabassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, timpani, percussion and strings.

The multifaceted talent of Daniel Schnyder As an arranger/composer, Schnyder has produced albums for jazz artists Abdullah Ibrahim (African Suite), Lee Konitz (Tribute to Billie Holiday) and Paquito D’Rivera (Habanera). He has also worked with Simon Shaheen, Peter Herbert, Burhan Öçal and a number of other artists on a variety of projects merging Arab and Chinese music elements with jazz and classical music. Schnyder’s versatility can also be seen in the orchestral variations he has written on themes by non-classical music icons like the Rolling Stones, Duke Ellington and Jimi Hendrix. As a performer, Schnyder has toured and recorded with many well-known classical musicians, world music artists and jazz players. He appears with orchestras playing his Songbook for Saxophone and Orchestra and Oriental Suite, among other works. With string quartet, he frequently performs a special project combining composition and improvisation, jazz and traditional chamber music. In addition to the Trombone Concerto whose world premiere we hear this evening, Schnyder recently composed a new version of Mozart’s uncompleted opera Zaïde, which conductor Kristjan Järvi premiered in New York. Schnyder leads the Stuttgart Crossover Academy (with Ingo Goritzki), the Cross Over Academy at the Bruckner University in Linz (with Norbert Girlinger) and the ABSOLUTE ACADEMY in Bremen (with the Absolute Ensemble). He gives master classes in composition, chamber music, improvisation and saxophone. In addition, Schnyder is active as a consultant and producer in classical music and jazz, working closely with major festivals, promoters and ensembles.

Rachmaninoff became a permanent — and unceasingly homesick — exile from his native Russia in the wake of the 1917 Revolution. Settling in the United States not only left him emotionally unmoored but forced Rachmaninoff to readjust his musical priorities out of financial necessity. From his early years, he pursued the combined roles of composer and performer, both conducting and concertizing as piano soloist; but the loss of his Russian base of support forced Rachmaninoff to take up more concert engagements as a pianist to support his family. A brutal touring schedule often brought him to the point of exhaustion. Moreover, a condition of permanent homesickness aggravated his creative paralysis, no matter how closely the tall, thin, aristocratically poised composer tried to replicate the atmosphere of his beloved pre-Revolutionary Russia. Rachmaninoff ’s compositional output thus dwindled to just a handful of works in his final 25 years. The Symphonic Dances represents the very last of these. From the start, Rachmaninoff was imagining Symphonic Dances in several dimensions. In its most familiar form, as the concert suite we hear, it stands as an unofficial Fourth Symphony (or even Fifth, if you count the earlier choral symphony The Bells, based on Edgar Allan Poe). Rachmaninoff also prepared a version for two pianos, reflecting his dual personalities as composer and pianist. Meanwhile, another work — the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini — had recently found new success as a ballet choreographed by Mikhail Fokine. Rachmaninoff approached Fokine with the idea of a new collaboration based on Symphonic Dances, but the choreographer died in 1942, before such a project could proceed. An earlier title Rachmaninoff considered was Fantastic Dances, and at one point he suggested a loose program by using times of day as titles for each of the work’s three movements (“Noon,” “Twilight” and “Midnight”). He later abandoned those as unnecessary distractions and allowed only the conventional tempo indications to stand. Perhaps the titles were meant to suggest periods in his personal life. Events in Europe during the summer of 1940, when Rachmaninoff composed the work, may well have triggered a desire to reflect on the direction his life had been forced to take in a violent century. Symphonic Dances can be approached as a guarded retrospective survey of his past career, as Rachmaninoff laces the score with self-quotations from a number of earlier works.
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF Born on April 1, 1873, in Semyonovo, Russia; died on March 28, 1943, in Beverly Hills, California Symphonic Dances, Op. 45 Rachmaninoff composed the Symphonic Dances in 1940. His orchestral swan song, this symphonic suite takes a retrospective look over the composer’s earlier career, but with a hauntingly spare, pared-down style that features some of his most imaginative orchestral touches. First performance: January 3, 1941, with Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra First Nashville Symphony performance: October 18 & 19, 1996, at Tennessee Performing Arts Center with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn. Estimated length: 38 minutes Recommended listening: Released on EMI, Mariss Jansons and the St. Petersburg Philharmonic pair the Symphonic Dances with the Third Symphony on one of the most thrilling recorded interpretations of Rachmaninoff.

What to listen for A bleak, brief introductory passage hints at the pared-down character of Rachmaninoff ’s late style. The music soon takes on momentum and is driven by a potent and restless three-note rhythmic idea. Much of the movement’s drama is generated from the contrast between this opening material and the folk song-like melody that is given so unforgettably to the saxophone. The manner in which Rachmaninoff allows the opening theme to creep back into the scene and supplant this haunting interlude is magnificently staged. His predilection for bell-like sounds emerges in a colorful coda that brings the music to a gentle rest. The second movement unfolds as a rueful waltz, its anxiousness intensified by repeated interruptions of momentum. Details are worried over in gorgeously detailed solo writing, like a quickly fragmenting dream the composer wants to preserve before it dissipates entirely. The final movement — the longest of the three — alternates between extreme slow and fast tempos. Here Rachmaninoff recalls some of the spirit of the opening movement, but the atmosphere is decidedly more
demonic. Indeed, the famous medieval chant of Dies Irae from the Requiem Mass appears (in various slightly disguised forms) as one of the themes alongside the main theme originating from Russian sacred chant. Aside from its obvious reference to death and judgment in this context, the Dies Irae had served in several other Rachmaninoff compositions as a kind of fatalistic (rather than necessarily morbid) leitmotif. Toward the end of this piece, though, Rachmaninoff introduces a more hopeful sacred melody taken from his luminous a cappella choral music, the All-Night Vigil. Its consoling presence robs the Dies Irae of its sting. Rachmaninoff ’s score calls for a large orchestra of piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets,3 trombones, tuba, timpani, snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, tam-tam, xylophone, glockenspiel, tubular bells, harp, piano and strings. — Thomas May is the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator.

OSVALDO GOLIJOV tour-de-force for cello
Born on December 5, 1960, in La Plata, Argentina; currently resides in Newton, Massachusetts Sidereus: Overture for Small Orchestra Golijov composed Sidereus in 2010 on a commission from a consortium of U.S. and Canadian orchestras to honor Henry Fogel, former president of the League of American Orchestras and an acclaimed champion of classical music. Sidereus is a concert overture inspired by the astronomer Galileo’s first explorations through his telescope.
Osvaldo Golijov, whose parents were Eastern European Jewish immigrants, already had a wide range of musical impulses competing for his attention as he came of age in his native Argentina. He grew up taking in an intoxicating mix that ranged from Old World classical traditions to Yiddish klezmer to Astor Piazzolla’s tango innovations. After a pivotal period of study in Jerusalem, Golijov (pronounced GO-lih-hoff) settled in the United States in 1986, where he has continued to treat genres and sonorities often kept in separate compartments as fair game for his all-embracing stylistic perspective — colors to be blended into a vibrant new synthesis. Close collaborations with performers have always been a key facet of Golijov’s creative process. He wrote his Cello Concerto (Azul), for example, for Yo-Yo Ma and then revised it for Alisa Weilerstein. Soprano Dawn Upshaw has been his muse for several important works, including his first opera Ainadamar (“Fountain of Tears”), a dreamlike meditation on poet-playwright Federico García Lorca and his favorite actress. But with Sidereus, which he subtitles “Overture for Small Orchestra,” Golijov sought to honor the extraordinary contributions of former League of American Orchestras president Henry Fogel by writing a work that could be readily performed by a wide variety of orchestras across the country.

First Performance: October 16, 2010, with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra conducted by Music Director Mei-Ann Chen at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Memphis. First Nashville Symphony Performance: These are the Nashville Symphony’s first performances of Sidereus. Estimated length: 11 minutes Recommended listening: An excellent entrée into Golijov’s world is the recent recording of his highly successful choral work La Pasión según San Marcos (“The Passion According to Saint Mark”), which includes an alternate live performance on DVD that captures the visual impact of his music.
“It certainly felt more abstract, writing a piece to be interpreted by 35 or more ensembles with different expectations, different audiences, different personalities,” the composer remarked in an interview last fall with Sarah Baird Knight. “The challenge was trying to create something that would serve them all.” Golijov takes his title from a treatise published in 1610 by the astronomer and mathematician Galileo: Sidereus Nuncius. “It’s more commonly translated as ‘Starry Messenger,’ ” notes Golijov, “but to me the word ‘sidereal’ is more beautiful. He wrote it after observing the moon for the first time with the telescope.” The composer points out that Galileo’s scientific observations made the moon “no longer the province of poets exclusively” and opened up the possibility of life existing beyond the Earth, a threatening hypothesis that ensured conflict with the Vatican. Having a brand-new work played within a very short time frame by so many different ensembles is, of course, an unusual opportunity for a contemporary composer. Shortly after the Memphis Symphony gave the world premiere last fall, Golijov made small revisions to the “dark theme that opens the piece and reappears in the middle,” as he explained at the time, then sent the score on for the rest of its widespread tour.
What to listen for
The score for Sidereus calls for 2 flutes, oboe, English horn, 2 clarinets (2nd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons (2nd doubling contrabassoon), 2 horns, 2 trumpets (1st doubling piccolo trumpet), 2 trombones, tuba, timpani and strings. Camille Saint-Saëns was bound to feel at home with the genre of the concerto. A virtuoso pianist himself, he played an important role in introducing all five of Beethoven’s piano concertos to skeptical French audiences, and he composed and performed a cycle of five concertos of his own for the instrument. For his first public recital in Paris (at the age of 10), Saint-Saëns performed piano concertos by Mozart and Beethoven. For an encore, he offered to play the audience’s choice from Beethoven’s cycle of 32 piano sonatas — by memory, of course. Such feats of showmanship were simply par for the course in a musical life marked by extraordinary productivity, not to mention longevity. Saint-Saëns remained active before the public right up into his 86th year, giving his last performance just 10 days before he died. The composer’s long lifespan also entailed an epic journey from the heyday of Romanticism through the birth pangs of Modernism and the trauma of World War I. It encompassed the revolutionary new music of Liszt and Wagner, which Saint-Saëns boldly championed, and the breakthroughs of Debussy and Stravinsky. Saint-Saëns himself, though,
CAMILLE SAINT-SAENS Born on October 9, 1835, in Paris, France; died on December 16, 1921 in Algiers, Algeria Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33 Saint-Saëns composed the Cello Concerto No. 1 in 1872 for Auguste Tolbeque (1830-1919), a contemporary cello celebrity and the work’s dedicatee. This first of his two cello concertos, cast as a single movement, integrates soloist and orchestra with imaginative craftsmanship and remains one of the best loved of 19th-century concertos. First Performance: January 19, 1873, with Auguste Tolbeque as soloist at the Paris Conservatoire. First Nashville Symphony Performance: March 13 & 14, 1967, at War Memorial Auditorium with guest cellist Leonard Rose and Music Director Willis Page.

of the Nashville Symphony Sidereus is in the tradition of the self-standing concert overture and develops a compelling sense of drama and mystery from just a few themes colorfully arrayed across a relatively modest orchestral canvas. “Ominous, massive, suspended in time and space” is Golijov’s prescription for the opening, in which we hear a spread of deep, dark chords. This theme recurs later, suggesting, Golijov observes, an “ominous question mark that tears the fabric of a piece that is essentially spacious and breathes with a strange mixture of melancholy and optimism.” Meanwhile, quasi-minimalist textures fluctuate as a pulsating background for a haunting theme that the composer identifies with the moon. Golijov further elaborates on Sidereus as follows: “The melodies and the harmony are simple, so they can reveal more upon closer examination. For the ‘Moon’ theme I used a melody with a beautiful, open nature, a magnified scale fragment that my good friend and longtime collaborator, accordionist Michael Ward Bergeman, came up with some years ago, when we both were trying to come up with ideas for a musical depiction of the sky in Patagonia. I then looked at that theme as if through the telescope and under the microscope, so that the textures, the patterns from which the melody emerges and into which it dissolves, point to a more molecular, atomic reality. Like Galileo with the telescope, or getting close to Van Gogh’s brushstrokes.”

fell victim to the changing tides of musical fashion. Though his output was enormous, ranging across all the major genres (he was even an early pioneer of the film score), only a handful of his works has remained an active part of the repertory. His most familiar compositions date from the 1870s and 1880s, when Saint-Saëns was at the peak of his fame. Along with the Cello Concerto No. 1, these include the tone poem Danse Macabre, the opera Samson and Delilah, the Third Symphony (the “Organ” Symphony) and Carnival of the Animals.
What to listen for Like Mendelssohn, with whom he also ranks as one of music history’s most remarkable prodigies, Saint-Saëns often shows an inherent preference for neoclassical clarity and transparency. Still — and despite his later reputation as a fading relic out of touch with early Modernism — Saint-Saëns didn’t unthinkingly parrot the classical forms he inherited. Indeed, the Cello Concerto No. 1 is renowned for its condensation of the conventional concerto’s three-movement format into an organically compact single movement. Additionally, Saint-Saëns transcends the Romantic cliché of the solo protagonist as a hero in conflict with the orchestra. Instead, he creates drama by keeping the cello at the center of attention throughout much of the work, carefully integrating it into the orchestral fabric. Dispensing with preliminary fuss, the concerto gives the cellist center stage immediately following a brisk opening chord from the orchestra. Fast-flowing triplets come to a pause on a core motif (a rising and falling half-step). Although Saint-Saëns shows great ingenuity in developing his motivic ideas, he never does so at the expense of the “embroidery” and beautiful surface details that unfold. Tempo and key change as a lyrical interlude provides passage to an enchanting middle section. Muted strings supply a sweet minuet accompaniment as the cello, playing high in its register, affably joins in the serenade. In a flash, agitated strings of flowing triplets bring a return of the opening motifs. Again the cello spells out the contrasting themes, with nuanced commentary from the orchestra. Unobtrusively, the soloist also brings a new but subtly related motif into the picture. In the coda, a sequence of sustained chords then steers the music into the major as the cello takes a decisive final bow. In addition to solo cello, Saint-Saëns scores for pairs each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets, along with timpani and strings.

FELIX MENDELSSOHN Born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg, Germany; died on November 4, 1847, in Leipzig, Germany Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56 “Scottish” Mendelssohn first conceived of writing his Scottish Symphony while traveling in Scotland in 1829, but over a dozen years passed before he finished his first version of the score in January 1842. Despite its numbering, the Symphony No. 3, dedicated to Queen Victoria, is actually the last of Mendelssohn’s five mature symphonies to be completed. A feature of this alluring symphony is the balance it achieves between the composer’s Classical sensibility and Romantic tendencies toward programmatic evocation. First Performance: March 3, 1842, with the composer conducting the Leizpzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. First Nashville Symphony Performance: December 14, 1954, at War Memorial Auditorium with Music Director Guy Taylor. Estimated length: 43 minutes Recommended listening: Peter Maag leads the London Symphony in a legendary Decca recording of the Scottish Symphony, which is coupled with his delightful incidental music to A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Another spontaneous musical inspiration occurred during Mendelssohn’s trip to Edinburgh — this time sparked not by nature but by the palpable sense of history that imbues Holyrood introduction to the Third Symphony. (See the sidebar on p. 62.) It remained dormant, though, for a dozen years before he began grappling with the composition. The Scottish Symphony — Mendelssohn himself referred to the work as his “Scotch” Symphony — is actually his last, chronologically speaking, and thus benefits from his mature technical mastery. As with the Hebrides Overture, Mendelssohn left no explicit program for the Scottish Symphony, but his allusion to Queen Mary is usually cited as a subtext for at least some aspects of the work, particularly the slow movement. Commentators have suggested that other impressions from the Scottish tour also play a role, ranging from Celtic legend and folklore to the Highland Games and the fiction of Sir Walter Scott. (The composer and his traveling companion paid an impromptu visit to Scott, whose fame was then at its height, and got a cranky reception.) Yet for all its Romantic associations, the music refers to no specific literary source in the manner of, say, the Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream, composed when Mendelssohn was 17. Rather, the Third Symphony integrates the evocative power of early Romanticism with the composer’s mature admiration for classical balance and internally consistent musical design.
What to listen for Mendelssohn’s design emphasizes the sense of overall coherence he wants to impart. The four distinct movement types you would expect of a Classical-era symphony are apparent, but the score asks that these be played without interruption, as a seamless whole. The long opening movement includes a slow introduction leading into an agitated main section. A mood of gloomy obsession — the musical idea that occurred to Mendelssohn at Holyrood Palace — pervades the Continued on page 62 j une

1829, the year when Felix Mendelssohn entered his 20s, marked an artistic as well as a chronological turning point for a composer who had already revealed his genius as a child prodigy. His famous revival of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion that spring helped shore up Mendelssohn’s reputation as a leading and influential musical thinker. Several months afterward, always eager to enlarge his experience, the young composer embarked on a “grand tour” throughout Europe. The first stage of the tour took him on a lengthy visit to Britain, where he would gain an enthusiastic following for his performances as a conductor, as well as for his own music. These travels allowed Mendelssohn to store up impressions on which he would draw for numerous future compositions, including two of his orchestral masterpieces: the concert overture known alternately as The Hebrides and Fingal’s Cave, and the Third Symphony (“Scottish”). A subsequent period of travel in Europe similarly inspired another of his finest compositions, the Fourth Symphony (“Italian”). After finishing up his engagements for the concert season in London, Mendelssohn undertook a walking tour of Scotland in the company of Karl Klingemann, a family friend from Berlin then serving as a diplomat in London. The contrast between the social whirlwind of the metropolis and Scotland’s awe-inspiring scenic beauty made the composer especially susceptible to the latter. Letters to his family back in Berlin recorded Mendelssohn’s reactions to the misty, forlorn seascape off Scotland’s west coast. His excursion there prompted him to sketch out a musical idea that would form the kernel of the Hebrides Overture, a pioneering work that helped pave the way toward the quintessential Romantic genre of the tone poem. Another spontaneous musical inspiration occurred during the composer’s trip to Edinburgh — this time sparked not by nature but by the palpable sense of history that imbues Holyrood Palace, the official monarchical residence situated at the opposite side of the old city from Edinburgh Castle. After paying a visit to the palace, Mendelssohn noted down a melancholy musical idea that would serve as the atmospheric

introduction. It features a rising motif with a dotted (i.e., long-short) rhythm that will take on various guises later in the work. The main movement proper launches with another variant of that opening motif and is driven restlessly forward. A second, singing theme anticipates the melancholy of Brahms. Mendelssohn adds a remarkably eventful coda of passionate storminess, which sheds a new light on what has gone before and is followed by a subdued, brief reprise of the introductory theme. The compact Scherzo contains the most “Scottish”sounding music of the score. Mendelssohn tweaks that all-important dotted rhythm in a way that suggests a signature trait of Scottish folk and dance music, while his simple, diatonic tunes also sound folk-like. Still, there’s always a chicken-and-egg aspect to these matters, particularly with a composer as ambivalent about program music as Mendelssohn. It’s worth recalling that when his friend Schumann first heard the piece, he raved about the symphony’s marvelous Italian local color. Occupying the emotional center, the Adagio develops two distinctive ideas: a poignant, longspanning melody first heard on strings and a dirge-like, steady, ceremonial march. (The dotted rhythms are especially prominent here.) Regardless of whether you discern a tonal portrait of Mary Stuart’s secret love and her tragic fate, the writing features Mendelssohn’s sure hand as an orchestrator. Savor how he varies the musical texture with serenade-like pizzicato accompaniments and afterthoughts spun by woodwinds. After this intimate music, the finale suggests a more epic perspective: Mendelssohn even asks for the Allegro to be played with “warlike” intensity. R. Larry Todd, a leading authority on Mendelssohn, writes that the energy of this music, “with its jagged dissonances and contrapuntal strife, generalizes the topic of conflict in Scottish history.” But then, in another extraordinary concluding section — a kind of extended epilogue to be played in a “majestic” manner — Mendelssohn abandons his A minor home key in favor of a confident, hymn-like melody in A major. Heard first on violas and clarinets, it brings the Scottish Symphony to a stately, dignified close. The Symphony No. 3 is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings.

A Haunting Visit Mary, Queen of Scots, lived in Holyrood Palace until she was forced to abdicate. Even today, a haunting gloom pervades the rooms Mary inhabited and where she was forced to witness the notorious murder in 1566 of her private secretary (suspected of being her lover). In one of his dispatches home, Mendelssohn recounted a thrilling visit at twilight to Holyrood, “where Queen Mary lived and loved.” He was also fascinated by the poetic ruins of the early medieval abbey church next to the palace, which had been pulled down during the Reformation: “Everything there is ruined, decayed and open to the clear sky. I believe that I have found there today the beginning of my Scotch Symphony.”

You might say the newest endowed chair at Lipscomb University is…a bench. The newly established Patricia and Rodes Hart Chair in Piano will seat distinguished music faculty for generations to come, beginning with its first distinguished faculty member, Dr. Jerome Reed, professor in the Lipscomb University Department of Music
and internationally respected pianist and teacher. We invite you to take a seat at his performances—or at any of hundreds of arts performances on the Lipscomb campus each year, most with no admission charge. Go to events.lipscomb.edu for a schedule. Music, theatre and visual arts…the next most important chair is the one you fill.
Music at Lipscomb moves to first chair.

Nashville Symphony Legacy Society l e av i n g a l e g a c y, b u i l d i n g a f u t u r e The Nashville Symphony Legacy Society honors those patrons who have included the Symphony in their estate planning
When Schermerhorn Symphony Center opened to the public in 2006, we envisioned our concert hall serving many generations for decades to come. If you have that same vision for the Nashville Symphony, then a planned gift can become your ultimate demonstration of commitment and support. You can help us plan for our future — and your own — through this creative approach to philanthropy and estate planning, which allows you to make a significant contribution to the Nashville Symphony while also enjoying income and tax benefits for you and your family. Great orchestras, like all great cultural institutions throughout history, are gifts to posterity; they are built and bestowed to succeeding generations by visionary philanthropists. To find out more about planned giving opportunities, please contact Holly Noble, Special Campaigns Coordinator, at 615.687.6529 or visit NashvilleSymphony.org/plannedgiving.
