12 An Electrifying Performer Jonathan Marx
After he trained at Juilliard, Nashville-based electric violinist Tracy Silverman sidestepped a career as a classical musician, choosing instead to play rock, jazz and other popular styles. How he wound up performing as a soloist in some of the world’s greatest concert halls — including Schermerhorn Symphony Center, where he’ll be featured this month — is a fascinating story.

Nashville Symphony President and CEO Alan D. Valentine and Vice President Mark A. Blakeman at the GRAMMY® Awards.
As donors and concertgoers, you have played a vital role in our recent GRAMMY® successes and in all of our recording projects.
n January 31, I was lucky enough to attend the 52nd annual GRAMMY® Awards in Los Angeles. This is a big night for music fans all over the world, but for those of us in the music industry, the GRAMMY® Awards are of special significance. It’s one of the few times during the year when we take a moment to recognize our peers for their outstanding achievements — and this year’s event was all the more exciting because the Nashville Symphony’s recording of two pieces by Maurice Ravel had been nominated for Best Classical Album, one of the premier awards in the classical music field. This isn’t the first time that the Nashville Symphony has been up for a GRAMMY®. Far from it, in fact. Over the past decade, our recordings have received a total of eight nominations, and two years ago, the orchestra’s recording of Joan Tower’s Made in America earned three GRAMMY® statues. All of this recognition has only helped to underscore the Nashville Symphony’s status as one of the most active recording orchestras in the country today. Since 2000, we have released 19 CDs, most of them in partnership with Naxos, one of the world’s leading classical music labels. In the process, we have become widely known for our expertise at recording; other symphony orchestras from across the country now routinely contact us to seek our guidance. Our renown isn’t just limited to the United States, either. Because our recordings are distributed widely overseas, people all over the world know firsthand about the Nashville Symphony, and with each new release, our reputation only continues to grow. Our latest release, a recording of Michael Daugherty’s Metropolis Symphony, is our first under the baton of Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero, and we can anticipate many more projects with Giancarlo on the podium. Looking ahead, our recording of three works by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, made here at the Schermerhorn in November, is due out on Naxos this summer. Just as that release is hitting stores, we’ll be undertaking a new project with composer Joseph Schwantner, the latest participant in the Ford Made in America commissioning project that produced Joan Tower’s Made in America. Finally, looking ahead to the 2010/11 season, we’ll be recording two pieces by Richard Danielpour, one of today’s most highly in-demand composers. As donors and concertgoers, you have played a vital role in our recent GRAMMY® successes and in all of our recording projects. Your financial support helps to provide the critical funding that allows us to turn ambitions into reality, and your enthusiasm inspires us to dream of even greater achievements to come. Thank you for believing in the Nashville Symphony.

Young composers get their voices heard at Nashville Symphony New Music Readings Local audiences will have a rare opportunity next month to watch the creative process in action when Schermerhorn Symphony Center hosts the Nashville Symphony New Music Readings, a two-day event that is part of a nationwide effort to open up opportunities for promising orchestral composers. Presented by EarShot, the National Orchestral Composition Discovery Network, the readings will feature the Nashville Symphony performing brand-new works by four young composers chosen through a national selection process. Not only do the participants get to hear their music in the acoustically brilliant setting of the Schermerhorn, but they will also benefit from constructive comments provided at several discussion sessions. Already, EarShot has hosted similar events with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Memphis Symphony Orchestra. For the Nashville readings on April 7 and 8, Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony will perform one work each by Michael Rickelton, Chiayu Hsu, Daniel Temkin and Ryan Gallagher. In addition to receiving feedback from Guerrero and principal Nashville Symphony musicians, the composers will also get to hear from two notable mentor composers: Jennifer Higdon and Edgar Meyer, both of whom have Tennessee roots. All sessions on April 7 are closed to the public, but on April 8 from 10 a.m.-12:30 p.m., members of the public are invited to attend a reading at which each of the composers’ works will be performed. That will be followed at 12:30 p.m. by a half-hour question-and-answer session with Guerrero and the four composers. The readings will be a momentous occasion for Rickelton, a David Lipscomb University graduate and the only Nashville composer to take part in the event. His piece And After the Dark will be performed. “It’s Michael Rickelton exciting, especially for a young composer, to have a piece read by a Photo by Amber Dawkins professional orchestra and to have your music heard by an audience,” he says. “It’s also a great way to meet other composers and performers. It will be a great learning experience. I’ll be able to hear certain orchestrations in my work, and I’ll get a chance to figure out which things work and which things don’t.” The New York City-based EarShot Network is a relatively new effort — created through a partnership among American Composers Orchestra, American Composers Forum, American Music Center, the League of American Orchestras and Meet The Composer — and the New Music Readings are intended to help create what it calls “a rich and interconnected web of opportunities” for emerging talents in the classical music world.

An Electrifying Performer With his wide-ranging tastes and his amplified violin, Tracy Silverman isn’t your typical orchestra soloist By Jonathan Marx
B
y the time he turned 17, violinist Tracy SunTrust Classical Series on March 18-20. So Silverman had every chance of building a how is it that Silverman wound up doing the very career as a classical soloist: He’d started playing thing he tried to run away from? The answer at age 5 and had spent countless hours practicing can be found in the piece he’ll perform at the his instrument; he’d made his professional debut Schermerhorn this month: John Adams’ The at age 13 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; Dharma at Big Sur. and he’d been accepted into one of the country’s Commissioned by the Los Angeles most prestigious conservatories. But somewhere Philharmonic for the opening of Walt Disney Hall along the way, he decided in 2003, The Dharma at Big to take a detour. Instead of Sur is a breathtaking showcase “I entered Juilliard committing his life to Mozart for Silverman’s dazzling hoping to be the and Beethoven, he plugged his instrumental prowess. His next Jascha Heifetz,” bow swoops and skips across violin into an amplifier, cranked up the volume and let loose Silverman says. “I left his electric violin, eliciting playing rock ’n’ roll, jazz and from the instrument a soaring wanting to be the next performance that casts aside other styles — anything but classical. traditional notions of what Jimi Hendrix.” Today, against his own classical music should sound expectations, Silverman has made a name for like. Within Adams’ painstakingly constructed himself as a soloist with orchestras all over score, it’s possible to hear the influence of rock, the world. In the past few years, he’s taken the jazz and world music — all sounds that inspired spotlight at New York’s Avery Fisher Hall and the composer to create Dharma as a vehicle London’s Royal Albert Hall, to name only two for Silverman’s virtuosic eclecticism. The piece venues. And is a fitting tribute to the violinist, who, during this month the course of his itinerant career, has worked the Nashville with artists as diverse as the groundbreaking resident will minimalist composer Terry Riley and the adultmake a rare contemporary pianist Jim Brickman (with whom hometown he recently performed at the Schermerhorn). appearance Silverman’s return to the classical stage came when he about through an unlikely sequence of events. joins the In 2002, composer Adams was exploring ideas Nashville for his Disney Hall commission, which he hoped Symphony would convey the essence of the California coastal for the terrain — the commingled sense of elation and

sorrow he felt upon experiencing its majestic sweep. At first, Adams considered having an actor read from the work of Jack Kerouac, whose writing perfectly embodied his own response to watching the waves at Big Sur. But then the composer went to hear Terry Riley perform at a jazz club in Oakland called Yoshi’s; it was there he heard Tracy Silverman, who was playing alongside Riley, and found within the violinist’s playing the very thing he wanted to encapsulate in The Dharma at Big Sur. “Kerouac aspired to a prose style that captured the spontaneous, improvisatory nature of his inspiration,” Adams says. “His books are full of references to listening to bebop jazz, and he freely acknowledged that his goal was to embody a similar sense of improvisatory liberty. My concerto for Tracy was written in a similar frame of mind. I wanted to create something that, like Kerouac’s writing, felt utterly spontaneous, yet in fact was a through-composed piece.” Indeed, Silverman’s performance in The
Dharma at Big Sur sounds deeply personal, an expression of his own innate musicality, even though it was entirely written out by Adams. “Although I’ve written other concertos and a halfdozen operas, I never actually ‘collaborated’ with a soloist as I did with Tracy,” the composer says. “We spent several sessions where I would suggest riffs or figurations, and he would try them out and at times propose something further. Of the many characteristics in his playing, I was most affected by the way he made the instrument so powerfully lyrical, something quite special that I’d only heard in Indian music or with the great rock guitarists like [Jimi] Hendrix or [Eric] Clapton or even someone like [jazz saxophonist John] Coltrane. “Conventional classical violin playing avoids ‘grit’ and ‘grunge,’ going instead for a smooth, elegant and polished sound. I took advantage of Tracy’s willingness to bite into the string and draw forth colors and even noises that a conventional classical player would probably fear to go near.” March

No ordinary fiddle Tracy Silverman’s music is a one-of-a-kind hybrid of rock, jazz, world music and other styles — and it takes a special instrument to produce such unique sounds. Designed by the musician himself, his electric violin has six strings, rather than the customary four. The two extra strings create a whole new range of musical possibilities. “What’s revolutionary is that suddenly I’m like a guitar player — I can play bass notes,” Silverman explains. “I’ve learned how to play rhythm violin, accompanying myself while singing, just as singersongwriters do on guitar. I could never do that with a four-string violin because it’s a treble instrument; there’s no bottom end.” Running an electrical current through a violin also opens up a lot of possibilities, he adds. “To me, the electric violin, especially with distortion, sings with a warmth and texture not available with the acoustic violin. Its obvious parallel is the electric guitar, but it also reflects all the husky vocal character of saxophones, trumpets and blues singers. The electric violin is to the acoustic violin what a blues or rock singer is to an opera singer.” 14

From concert halls to rock clubs, and back again With his mane of tightly wound curls and his genially excitable manner, Silverman hardly comes across as a conventional classical player. Born in Peekskill, N.Y., he moved to Beloit, Wis., as a youngster and quickly found himself on track for a career in classical music, doing what he calls “the prodigy model thing.” That all changed when he enrolled at the Juilliard School. “As soon as I got there, a funny thing happened,” he recalls. “I was looking for something in the Schwann Catalog — this thick catalog of all the recordings in print — and I happened to open to Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. I’m seeing Heifetz, Zuckerman, Perlman, five or six pages of recordings. As I’m looking through the S’s, I’m thinking, ‘Why would anybody in their right mind buy a recording of Tracy Silverman doing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto when there are already six pages of the greatest virtuosos who ever lived playing it?’ ” Around the same time, Silverman’s brother gave him three albums designed to expand his musical horizons: Jimi Hendrix’s Cry of Love, Frank Zappa’s Hot Rats and jazz violinist Jean-Luc Ponty’s Enigmatic Ocean. “It all just made me take a left turn. I didn’t want to interpret other people’s music. There was an enormous amount of competition from people practicing 20 hours a day to do that. I decided that I wanted to do my own thing.” Silverman was ready to quit school, but at his parents’ insistence he stayed through graduation. “I entered Juilliard hoping to be the next Jascha Heifetz. I left wanting to be the next Jimi Hendrix. As soon as I got out of school, my violin went in its case, and I started playing electric violin in this progressive rock band. They were thrilled to have a virtuoso violinist, and I was thrilled to be rehearsing in the basement of a bagel store in the Bronx with a bunch of long-haired rock ’n’ rollers.” He started building his own six-string electric violins, which gave him a wider tonal range and the chance to run his instrument through distortion pedals typically employed by guitar players. For a decade, he bounced through a series of rock bands, then moved to the West Coast in the mid-’90s to take a gig playing acoustic jazz with the Turtle Island String Quartet, who were signed to the popular New Age label Windham Hill. He toured and made several records with the group, but soon enough he started feeling restless again: “Now I was getting known as this New Age jazz violin player, and I thought, ‘That’s not what I wanted to do!’ ” Silverman decided to strike out on his own, making a wellreceived solo album, Trip to the Sun, and quickly picked up work as a producer and musician. He began collaborating with Riley, who would go on to introduce him to John Adams. Around the same time, he moved from the Bay Area to Nashville, drawn by the city’s ease, friendliness and abundant opportunities for playing
music. And now, thanks to The Dharma at Big Sur, Silverman is back in the classical music world. The only difference is, he’s doing it on his own terms. When he’s not performing in the great concert halls of the world, Silverman stays busy with numerous other projects. He continues to work with Jim Brickman; he’s been playing in the “virtuoso jam band” Eclectica with drummer Roy “Futureman” Wooten and bassist Steve Forrest; and he’s also a member of the trio Three Part Invention with pianist Phil Aaberg and cellist Eugene Friesen, which recently released a CD of improvisations on the music of J.S. Bach. A week after he appears at the Schermerhorn, Silverman will travel to Knoxville to perform with Riley at the Big Ears Festival, a celebration of cutting-edge music presented by one of the co-producers of Bonnaroo. Silverman also teaches violin as an adjunct faculty member in Belmont University’s commercial music program, an experience he finds just as fulfilling as being onstage. “These kids don’t believe in divisions between jazz, classical and other kinds of music, and never the twain shall meet. They’re right in the gray area, so I have a lot

in common with them. I am a firm believer in the power of contemporary idioms in classical music — that you can use rock or jazz or any other style in an abstract way and not talk down to people. If you want to communicate Terry Riley with people, you need to speak to them in a language they can understand.” For all of his extraordinary skills on the violin, it’s this openness, this desire to connect with listeners, that may be Silverman’s strongest suit — and the thing that has helped him forge a successful career. “He’s a musician for today — fully aware of what’s going on in the world, able to assimilate all that and build his own style on it,” Riley says. “He has this curiosity, and he’s always wanting to try something new. He’s always saying, ‘Let’s go for it, let’s try it!’ ” Editor’s note: A longer version of this story originally appeared in The Tennessean.

Cherryholmes
THIBAUDET RETURNS, April 1-3 Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero leads the orchestra in a dynamic SunTrust Classical Series program that promises moments of seriousness, playfulness and rich musical drama. Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet is widely recognized as one of the world’s best pianists, and he returns to the Schermerhorn to perform Richard Strauss’ Burleske, a sparkling early work that offers vivid examples of the composer’s emergent genius. The orchestra will celebrate the centennial of Samuel Barber’s birth with his Symphony in One Movement, an expressive work that affirms the composer’s singular place in the history of American music. And rounding out the evening are two evocative tone poems: Aaron Jay Kernis’ Newly Drawn Sky was inspired by the shifting colors of the sky at dusk, while Respighi’s Fontane di Roma paints a musical portrait of the majestic fountains in Italy’s grandest city at different times of day.
CHERRYHOLMES, April 15-17 With a unique family chemistry that comes from years of touring and performing together, Cherryholmes are one of the most exciting groups working in bluegrass today. These versatile, skilled musicians incorporate elements of gospel, Celtic music, jazz and more into their distinctive take on old-time music, and they’ll deliver an evening of high-spirited entertainment when they join the Nashville Symphony for the Bank of America Pops Series. This is one concert that country and bluegrass fans won’t want to miss! ORGAN SHOWCASE WITH DAVID HIGGS, April 25 The Nashville Symphony’s Martin Foundation Concert Organ will be featured in all its grandeur when concert organist David Higgs performs a special showcase at Schermerhorn Symphony Center. World-renowned for his skills at the console, Higgs has been hailed by The New York Times as “one of the brightest, most promising…concert organists to have appeared on the American music scene in years.” He currently serves as chair of the Organ Department at the respected Eastman School of Music and maintains a busy schedule teaching throughout the United States and abroad.

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Born on March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Germany; died on July 28, 1750, in Leipzig, Germany Mass in B minor, BWV 232 The music gathered into the Mass in B minor spans more than three decades of Bach’s career. Bach prepared his manuscript for the Mass in its final form between August 1748 and October 1749, but the complete Mass remained unperformed for more than a century. The Sanctus is the only part of the score known for certain to have been performed during Bach’s lifetime. The first complete performance of the Mass in B minor is thought to have taken place in Leipzig in 1859 (in German translation). The Nashville Symphony’s first and only prior performance of the complete work took place in April 1980, with Music Director Michael Charry. Bach calls for five solo voices (two sopranos, contralto, tenor and bass) and a chorus of mostly five parts (but up to eight for the Osanna). For these performances, contralto Ingeborg Danz will sing the second soprano part. The orchestral scoring is for 2 flutes, 3 oboes, 2 bassoons, horn, 3 trumpets, timpani and strings, with continuo. estimated length: 130 minutes, with a 20-minute intermission A Paradoxical Masterpiece Bach himself never heard the Mass in B minor performed in its entirety. Indeed, it took until almost the middle of the following century for a complete edition even to be published for the first time. In the period before it began to circulate in manuscript copies, the original score might easily have fallen into oblivion, suffering the fate of so many other lost works by Bach. Yet as a result of the Bach revival of the 19th century, the Mass in B minor was singled out — even before it had been performed in complete form — as the ultimate emblem of its composer’s genius. This dramatic turnaround from near-total obscurity to recognition as a crowning masterpiece is just one of the many paradoxes associated with the Mass. The work’s very existence sets it apart. Bach seems to have compiled his B-minor Mass as a grand, “abstract” project — an artistic and spiri-
tual testament — without a particular performance in mind (although he subdivided his score in such a way that it could be performed either in whole or in part). The bulk of Bach’s sacred Johann Sebastian Bach music, in contrast, was written within a pragmatic liturgical context. This holds true not just for his weekly cycles of cantatas, but even for his great Passions, which come closest in scope to the monumental nature of the Mass. A related paradox is the fact that Bach, that most eloquent musical advocate for the evangelical Lutheran faith, decided to set the entire “Ordinary” of the Roman Catholic liturgy to music. The Ordinary refers to the five main texts of the sung Mass that are unchanging: the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei. (The Proper of the Mass, on the other hand, refers to prayers that vary according to the liturgical calendar or occasion.) Bach arranged these parts into a vast structure comprised of 27 individual movements. His manuscript, now preserved in the Berlin State Library, survives in a fragile state as an assembly of 188 pages, divided into four parts: Missa (for the Kyrie and Gloria); Symbolum Nicenum (a more formal title for the Nicene Creed text, i.e., the Credo); Sanctus; and Osanna/ Benedictus/Agnus Dei et Dona nobis pacem. While many details remain unexplained, a basic chronology behind the creation of the B-minor Mass has emerged. Bach’s starting point, it turns out, was pragmatic after all. He undertook a setting of the first two sections of the Ordinary Mass (Kyrie and Gloria) in 1733, shortly after the accession of Frederick Augustus II as Elector of Saxony. Despite Martin Luther’s stress on the vernacular, liturgical practice in Saxony during Bach’s lifetime allowed for full-scale musical settings of the Latin texts to a portion of the Ordinary on special feast days. With the Kyrie and Gloria (which together he referred to as a Missa, or Mass), Bach aimed to win the respect of the new Elector, whose capital of Dresden had become the advanced musical center of the German-speaking world.

tus’ predecessor had converted to Catholicism to claim the Polish throne, and his long reign had thus established a Catholic presence in this stronghold of the Reformation. Catholic and Lutheran musical traditions now coexisted in the Dresden Court. Thus Bach’s musical offering, which would be appropriate for either religious context, was a savvy “diplomatic” move. Now a decade into his service as music director of Leipzig, Bach had been worn down by local enemies who sought every occasion to humiliate him, and he remained on the lookout for a new patron. He submitted his Missa to Frederick Augustus as a token of his talent, requesting to be taken under the “protection” of the new Elector. In other words, Bach was hoping to win an honorific title that would give him extra clout in dealing with his Leipzig colleagues. Such a move was hardly unprecedented: Bach’s earlier years at the court of Cöthen were among his happiest, yet as the situation began to change, he immediately put out his sensors for a new potential patron, presenting the Margrave of Brandenburg with a set of six concertos that would eventually become world-famous. The Margrave simply ignored the gesture, and Bach ended up landing the job at Leipzig — as the Town Council’s reluctant third choice. Bach had somewhat better luck with his Missa, though he had to wait until 1736 to be named “composer to the royal court chapel” — a title that wound up having little practical effect on his situation in Leipzig, where he remained until the end of his life. It’s not even clear whether his new KyrieGloria was actually performed in Dresden at this time. Bach did, however, succeed in winning a position for his son Wilhelm Friedemann as organist in one of the Dresden churches. Most importantly, he continued to cultivate his contacts with the rich musical culture of Dresden, including its impressive collection of Catholic sacred music by such past masters as Palestrina. Bach’s exposure to these older traditions seems to have stimulated his interest in setting the remainder of the Latin Mass. Scholars now generally agree that Bach began assembling the score for his complete Mass in B minor in 1748. He incorporated the Kyrie and Gloria from 15 years before and now proceeded with the Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei, which would need to correspond to the ambitious scale of those earlier parts. (The Kyrie and Gloria together last about an hour, accounting for half of the Mass’ length.)
According to this chronology, the Mass would have been Bach’s final large-scale project, completed in the fall of 1749, after which the composer’s advancing blindness made it impossible to continue work. The score’s handwriting bears moving physical witness to Bach’s deteriorating condition. The fluid calligraphy of the manuscript of 1733 gives way to a painful, crabbed script, as seen on the final page of the “Dona nobis pacem,” after which Bach inscribed the phrase “Fine: D.S.G.” (standing for “Dei Soli Gloria,” that is, “The End: To God Alone Belongs the Glory”). Encyclopedic in Scope One of the most startling facts about the Mass in B minor is that very little — if any — of the score assembled in 1748-49 consists of “new” music. Instead, Bach relied on a process of reusing material from earlier in his career. Musicologists use the somewhat confusing term “parody” to describe this process, in which preexisting music is retrofitted to new texts. During the later Leipzig years, this process had increasingly become Bach’s modus operandi. Even the 1733 Kyrie and Gloria are known to contain at least some parody elements, and some Bach specialists even speculate that every movement in the B-minor Mass originated from an earlier model in his catalogue. Music scholar George B. Stauffer, in his fascinating study of the B-minor Mass, explains that parody writing was a valued aesthetic choice in the Baroque — one that had its architectural equivalent in the tendency to build up and around a preexisting structure. For Bach in particular, it offered a method to refine and perfect earlier work. Rather than merely “recycle” his music, he subtly adjusted it to the contour and meaning of the new Latin texts. Moreover, the Mass gave Bach a seemingly more permanent context in which to “store” a wide range of examples spanning his career. The earliest source goes back to one of his first cantatas, from his Weimar days, which was reconfigured for the Crucifixus. And Bach didn’t limit himself to sacred cantatas. He also conscripted secular vocal works and instrumental movements for the effort. Bach’s meticulous method ensured that his B-minor Mass encompassed a truly encyclopedic scope rather than an arbitrary miscellany of past works. His score extends not just across the range of international styles and genres of the High Baroque, but also across time, from medieval chant to recent developments that would soon evolve into March

the Classical style. Bach’s mastery is to crystallize all of these cross-currents into a monumental structure that embodies both his “musical science” and his most profound theological beliefs. At the same time, Bach weaves esoteric symbolism (including numerological imagery) together with such popular idioms as love duets and dances in an inextricable embrace, appealing to head and heart alike. It’s no accident that commentators frequently resort to architectural metaphors in attempting to come to terms with the achievement of the Mass in B minor. Bach constructs every parameter of the work — tonality, meter, scoring, stylistic character — with careful attention to symmetry and proportions within the larger whole. The B-minor Mass can easily consume a lifetime of study. Yet it has an immediate impact, as awe-inspiring in its immensity and its intricacy of detail as a Gothic cathedral. Following are some examples from each major section of the Mass to help orient your listening experience. Kyrie: The introductory four measures, containing a threefold repetition of the basic plea for mercy, are concise yet overwhelming in their emotional weight. Underscored by the harmonic richness of the five-part choral layout (as opposed to the more usual four parts), they set the tone for the tremendous structure Bach is about to unfold. The first Kyrie chorus begins only after an elaborate instrumental introduction of the widely ranging fugal subject. Bach here signals the intricate counterpoint of instrumental and vocal music that is a fundamental organizational principle of the score. What a striking contrast we find in the Christe eleison, a charming duet for sopranos in which Bach unabashedly turns to the secular idiom of the love duet from opera. (For these performances, contralto Ingeborg Danz will sing the second soprano part.) The lighter, freer, more “up-to-date” pre-Classical writing here is then followed in the second choral Kyrie by an imitation of the severely controlled fugal style associated with Palestrina and the “antique style.” Yet Bach integrates these stylistic contrasts into a coherent tonal plan: The key of each movement traces an ascending B minor triad (B minor-D major-F-sharp minor), which conveys a sense of forward progression that continues on with the Gloria.
Gloria: The Gloria is primarily in D major, thus resolving the darkness of the opening B minor (the “relative minor” of D). In fact, the title Mass in B minor — not Bach’s own, but a later invention of 19th-century publishers — is something of a misnomer, since the true home key of the work as a whole is D major. These two keys represent the emotional poles that anchor the Mass, outlined by the Kyrie and Gloria, respectively: an attitude of supplication that emphasizes the suffering of our human condition vs. one of joyful praise for divine perfection and order. Bach subdivides the Gloria’s sections into nine movements that display the brilliant rhetorical range and color of the Leipzig cantatas in which he had concentrated so much of his creative energy. He neatly interweaves four choral movements (counting the two interlinked opening choruses as one) with characterful numbers that deftly spotlight both each solo voice and each obbligato instrument; the full orchestral ensemble, meanwhile, comes into play in the grand choruses. The opening Gloria, for example, alludes to the nativity scene and the festive atmosphere of Christmas music, reinforced by the sound of timpani and trumpets. Yet again Bach juxtaposes galant stylishness in the sprightly Laudamus te and in the Domine Deus with Renaissance dignity in the Gratias agimus tibi. The mode of supplication reappears in the B minor of the Qui tollis and Qui sedes (a chorus followed by aria). As just one example of Bach’s use of musical symbolism, the ensuing Quoniam features bass and obbligato horn, which were often used to represent royalty and thus serve as an emblem of Jesus. Conductor Helmuth Rilling, who has researched extensively into the B-minor Mass throughout his career, suggests that the opening horn motif is a symbol of the perfection of Jesus because it outlines an octave (itself a symbol of perfection) and is shaped as a palindrome (two Cs an octave apart, followed by B, followed by the first two Cs in reverse). Credo: The perfect symmetry of the palindrome also underlies the overall architecture of the massive Credo. While the Latin text of the Nicene Creed remained invariable, composers were free to divide it into sections as they preferred. Initially, Bach worked with a plan of eight movements, but at some point he decided to set the Et incarnatus est apart as a separate movement. The result was

to give the Credo a powerful and symbolically meaningful symmetry centered around three choral movements that encapsulate the essentials of Christian theology (Et incarnatus est, Crucifixus and Et resurrexit). The Crucifixion lies literally at the center of the Credo in this plan. These movements are surrounded by two solos, while pairs of choruses frame the entire structure. The opening pair, moreover, mirrors the concluding one, in that Bach connects material derived from Gregorian chant (the Credo itself and the Confiteor) with exuberant choruses. While earlier Bach had set “modern” music side by side with movements in “antique style,” the opening Credo uses counterpoint to juxtapose ancient chant directly with Baroque language (the “walking bass” figure). Another extraordinary synthesis is found in the interlinked central choruses. The descending passacaglia pattern of the Crucifixus represents the emotive power of Baroque “word painting.” Here the composer draws retrospectively from one of his first cantatas, from 1714. If, as Bach authority Christoph Wolff suggests, the Et incarnatus est is newly composed material — perhaps, even, the last choral music Bach ever wrote — these two movements would
set the earliest and most recent music of the entire Mass in close proximity. Bach intricately links these movements to prepare for the exultant resolution of Et resurrexit, which transforms dogma into bracing musical drama. Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei: Bach established a choral texture based on five voices when he wrote the Missa of 1733, so as he dug further back into his catalogue for the larger B-minor Mass project of 1748-49, he had to make adjustments that would better align with this pattern. The Sanctus comes from a stand-alone setting written for the Christmas service of 1724, when Bach was just a year into his Leipzig job. For that occasion, he experimented with his most extensive choral-instrumental layout to date by writing for a six-part chorus (three sopranos, alto, tenor and bass). As an example of his “parody” reworking, he rebalanced the six-part texture to two sopranos, two altos, tenor and bass for its use here. The Osanna expands the chorus to eight parts, while both sections draw on familiar dance rhythms, transforming the joy of bodily motion into a symbol of spiritual ecstasy. The pathos of B minor returns one last time in

the Benedictus, set as a duet for tenor and obbligato instrument. (Bach’s score doesn’t specify which instrument, but performance practice in recent decades has opted for flute over violin.) Separated by a reprise of the Osanna, the Agnus Dei mirrors the introspective humility of the Benedictus but also echoes the intimacy of the Christe eleison. Bach concludes with another gesture of cross-reference by setting the Dona nobis pacem to the same music as that of the Gratias agimus tibi in the Gloria. (It has been suggested that he may have intended to vary this reprise with a new choral accompaniment, given the blank staves left at this point in the manuscript.) In any case, the conclusion serves both as a unifying element and as an emblem of Bach’s recompositional art. In Conclusion More than two centuries have passed since the Mass in B minor began to attract interest, yet the fundamental reasons behind Bach’s decision to create it remain a matter of speculation. (One scholar even claimed that Bach never intended to compose a “unified” Mass, although that theory was quickly refuted by other contradictory evidence.) Alternative theories continue to be advanced, but most Bach experts tend toward some variant of the idea that the Mass sprang from the composer’s increasing urge, toward the end of his life, to take stock of music history — and to secure his own position within it. Fully aware that fashions were in flux, Bach must have feared being judged “irrelevant” as new trends replaced the musical values to which he had devoted his life. The structure of the Mass allowed Bach to look back to the traditions of liturgical music that had survived — a foundation in which he could enshrine the full spectrum of his own genius. According to Wolff, who calls the Mass in B minor “the vocal counterpart to The Art of the Fugue,” this colossal work serves as a compendium for his legacy of sacred choral music: “Just as theological doctrine survived over the centuries in the words of the Mass, so Bach’s mighty setting preserved the musical and artistic creed of its creator for posterity.” —Thomas May is the program annotator for the Nashville Symphony and writes regularly about music and theater.

HELMUTH RILLING, conductor “Music should startle people and reach deep down inside them, forcing them to reflect. It should never be merely ‘comfortable,’ never fossilized, never soothing.” This is Helmuth Rilling’s “credo.” Born in 1933 in Stuttgart, he is active as a conductor, pedagogue and an ambassador for the music of Johann Sebastian Bach worldwide. In 1954, Rilling founded the Gächinger Kantorei, and 11 years later he founded the Bach Collegium Stuttgart as the choir’s regular orchestral partner. Ever since, he has been intensely involved with the works of J.S. Bach and has felt a strong link to this composer’s music. Rilling has also Helmuth Rilling been a fervent advocate of “neglected” Romantic choral music and has commissioned and performed contemporary choral music as well. In 1981, inspired by his devotion to Bach, Rilling founded the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart, which is dedicated to furthering the music of J.S. Bach through public concerts, master classes for singers and conductors, symposia and residencies all over the world. Of special importance to Rilling is the encouragement of young musicians, and in 2001 he founded the Festivalensemble Stuttgart. This ensemble, consisting of choir and orchestra, draws on the participation of talented young musicians from 25 different countries. Either together with his house ensembles in Stuttgart or as a guest conductor, Rilling is active on the international concert podium, performing regularly throughout Europe, the U.S. and Canada. He has a special friendship dating back some 30 years with the Israel Philharmonic and since 1970 has been the Artistic Director of the Oregon Bach Festival. Upcoming engagements in North America include appearances with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s in a performance of Haydn’s The Creation at Carnegie Hall.

Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra. As a testament to his inexhaustible activity are hundreds of recordings. From 1970 to 1984, Rilling was the first musician to record all of Bach’s Cantatas (for Hänssler Classic). Furthermore, his was the guiding hand behind the Internationale Bachakademie’s critically acclaimed project to record the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach for Hänssler Classic, which was released in 2000 to coincide with the 250th anniversary of Bach’s death. The many prizes Rilling has received include the UNESCO International Music Prize in 1994 and the Theodor Heuss Prize in 1995. In 2003, he became an Honorary Member of the American Academy of the Arts and Sciences. He won a GRAMMY® Award in 2000 for his recording of Krzysztof Penderecki’s Credo and was again nominated in 2001 for his recording of Wolfgang Rihm’s Deus Passus. SIBYLLA RUBENS, soprano The moving timbre of her voice, her natural charisma and her sensitive sense of perfection make German soprano Sibylla Rubens a much soughtafter artist in her own country and abroad. Since her debut at the Deutsche Symphonieorchester Berlin conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy, she has been a guest at the world’s most important concert houses, including Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, New York’s Carnegie Hall and Vienna’s Musikverein. An exceptional lied singer, she has also been invited to the Schubertiaden in Austria, lied centers in Amsterdam and Barcelona, and many international festivals. Highlights from past years include performances with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra under Philippe Herreweghe, performances of Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion at New York’s Carnegie Hall, Schumann’s Requiem at the Munich Philharmonic under Christian Thielemann, and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Mass in B minor in Montreal conducted by Kent Nagano. Other conductors with whom the singer has worked include Jun Märkl, Roger Norrington, Herbert Blomstedt, Michael Gielen, Marek Janowski and Riccardo Chailly. Ivan Fischer has invited Rubens to perform on a European tour in early summer 2010 with Arvo Pärt’s Como cierva sedienta and Mozart’s Vesperae solennes. This season she is also engaged to sing Mahler’s Eighth Symphony under Thielemann in Munich and Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major under Gielen in Baden-Baden and Freiburg.

INGEBORG DANZ, contralto German contralto Ingeborg Danz studied with Heiner Eckels in Detmold. While still a student, she was awarded several prizes and was granted scholarships by Deutscher Musikrat and the Richard Wagner Federation. Although she has appeared on several opera stages, Danz’s main focus is on oratorio, concert and lied. She very closely collaborates with Helmuth Rilling/Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart and Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe. It is no exaggeration to call Danz one of the finest Bach performers of her generation, but she does not exclusively commit herself to certain musical epochs. Works of the late Romantic period, such as Mahler’s symphonies, Berlioz’s Nuits d’été and Schumann’s Faust-Szenen, along with sacred music by Bruckner and Beethoven, are part of her regular repertoire. Danz’s collaborations with conductors such as Rilling, Herreweghe, Riccardo Muti, Herbert Blomstedt, Claudio Abbado, Manfred Honeck, Christopher Hogwood, Heinz Holliger, Ingo Metzmacher and Semyon Bychkov have led her to the Teatro alla Scala, the Lucerne and Salzburg Festival and the leading orchestras of the world. Recent appearances have included Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Vienna

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
“Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to love.” The Roman poet Virgil wrote those words more than 2,000 years ago, and nothing has changed in the land of his birth — Italy still cherishes romance. It also cherishes music and has a special gift for bringing the two together. Singers Deana Martin and Frank Portone join the Nashville Symphony this month to honor that happy union with an evening of music and songs in the Italian tradition. The program begins with the stirring overture to Verdi’s La forza del destino, a story of — what else? — star-crossed lovers. The betrayal of love is the theme of “Vesti la giubba,” the familiar (and much parodied) aria from Pagliacci in which the tragic clown Canio bemoans his wife’s infidelity. In a happier vein, Portone will offer “O sole mio.” This classic Neapolitan love song has had a rich life since it was composed by Giovanni Capurro and Eduardo di Capua in 1898. It has been claimed by every great tenor from Caruso to Pavarotti, and di Capua’s melody has been endlessly recycled, most notably for “It’s Now or Never,” Elvis Presley’s 1960 mega-hit. Sung here by a vocal quartet featuring members of the choral ensemble Nashville Singers, the lighthearted “That’s Amore” is, of course, forever identified with Deana Martin’s father, Dean. He first sang it in the 1953 film The Caddy, in a comic duet with partner Jerry Lewis. The music takes a somber turn with “E lucevan le stelle,” from Tosca, in which Mario laments that his impending execution will separate him from his great love. The mournful clarinet solo that echoes Mario’s despair makes the song especially poignant. The melodrama of Tosca will give way to selections from Respighi’s 1924 masterpiece The Pines of Rome, a symphonic poem that evokes the rich spirit of that city. A playful scherzo, The Pines of the Villa Borghese, is followed by a brief excerpt from the tender The Pines of Gianicolo. The final segment, The Pines of the Appian Way, is bold, with powerful drum and brass elements that Respighi intended to suggest a “fantastic vision of bygone glories.” The second half of the evening takes on a sentimental mood, beginning with a musical gondola ride via “Carnival of Venice,” a traditional folk tune arranged for orchestra. Deana Martin will sing a few Rat Pack favorites, including “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime,” the 1964 hit that knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts and became her father’s signature song. The Nashville Symphony chimes in with “Italian Fiesta,” a lively medley that includes the irresistible “Funiculi, Funicula,” a ditty composed in 1880 to celebrate the opening of a cable car on Mount Vesuvius. Frank Portone will bring the program to an appropriate close with “Nessun dorma” from Puccini’s Turandot. This soaring aria celebrates the passion that overcomes all obstacles — including the resistance of its object. It’s a tribute to the conquest of love. What could be more Italian? — Nashville-based freelance journalist Maria Browning is pops program annotator for the Nashville Symphony

Martin loved working at Capitol Studios, where she collaborated on this project with legendary, multi-GRAMMY® Awardwinning engineer Al Schmitt and her husband/producer, John Griffeth. Martin’s desire to continue her father’s legacy and to support children’s charitable causes led to her being the driving force behind the annual Dean Martin Festival. All proceeds from this event fund the Dean Martin Music Scholarships. She is also proud to announce that her book, Memories Are Made of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughter’s Eyes, is being made into a movie directed by actor Joe Mantegna, with a screenplay written by actor/writer/ television host Bonnie Hunt. She and her husband divide their time between Beverly Hills, Calif., and Branson, Mo. FRANK PORTONE, tenor Frank Portone began his long journey toward a career as a vocal soloist when he won the lead in a fourthgrade opera production. He continued singing, first in the Philadelphia Boys Choir and later in the All-Philadelphia Junior and Senior High School Choirs. He was awarded a vocal scholarship to study privately at the Settlement Music School. At Temple University, Portone chose to major in French horn performance instead of voice. Meanwhile, he partially supported himself
through work as a church soloist. As a member of the Temple University Choirs, he performed as a baritone soloist in works such as Duruflé’s Requiem, Fauré’s Requiem and Orff ’s Carmina Burana, much to the chagrin of the school’s voice majors. Portone’s first professional position was as Principal Horn of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. Three years later, he won a position as Principal Horn of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. As his voice matured into a dramatic tenor, he also began to study voice again seriously. Portone’s stand-in performance for an ailing tenor on a Charlotte Symphony program conducted by Mitch Miller was a great success. This led to additional performance opportunities with the Charlotte Symphony, including the orchestra’s Summer Pops and Magic of Christmas concerts, and Rachmaninoff ’s The Bells. Portone received an Emerging Artists Grant from the Arts and Science Council of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, and he sang the lead in Pagliacci in a summer program jointly sponsored by Opera Carolina and Central Piedmont Community College. He has appeared as a tenor soloist with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and the Quad Cities Symphony of Davenport, Iowa, performing operatic arias and Broadway musical selections. He also continues to perform as Principal Horn of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.

JOHANNES BRAHMS Born on May 7, 1833, in Hamburg, Germany; died on April 3, 1897, in Vienna Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90 Brahms composed his Symphony No. 3 between 1882 and the summer of 1883. Hans Richter led the Vienna Philharmonic in its premiere on December 2, 1883, in Vienna. Brahms later revised the score lightly, publishing it in 1884. The Nashville Symphony’s first performance of the work took place on January 15, 1957, with Music Director Guy Taylor. The Symphony No. 3 is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani and strings. estimated length: 33 minutes As both an artist and a private individual, Brahms was fraught with contradictions. Like Beethoven, he remained a bachelor incapable of attaining domestic stability, no matter how much he craved it. Diffident yet enormously ambitious, he was a starry-eyed youth who managed to bowl Robert Schumann over with his talent, to the point that Schumann anointed him the great hope of the new generation. Yet Brahms was a famous late bloomer who matured over decades into the bear-like, bearded, paternal image that often comes to mind. Brahms took time to overcome the paralyzing effect of Beethoven’s symphonic achievement — what was left to be done in the genre after that? — but he patiently worked toward the breakthrough of his First Symphony, which he unveiled in 1876. Its success emboldened the now middle-aged composer, who went on to produce his Second Symphony with remarkable speed. Following a break of several years (which gave us the Violin Concerto and Second Piano Concerto, along with some marvelous lieder and chamber music), Brahms returned to the symphonic genre with his Third. Despite attempts by the composer’s enemies to
disrupt the premiere, the work earned an enthusiastic reception. Yet as the official Brahms canon eventually took shape, the Third came to Johannes Brahms be regarded as one of the most elusive of all his compositions, rich in subtleties and paradoxes — the true connoisseur’s Brahms. Critic Eduard Hanslick, an important advocate of the composer’s in these years, aptly observed that “many music lovers will prefer the titanic force of the First Symphony; others, the untroubled charm of the Second. But the Third strikes me as being artistically the most nearly perfect.” Ironically, undue emphasis on the “Beethoven problem” by Brahms’ contemporaries tended to obscure how truly original was his approach to the symphony. This had happened with the First, which was heard to echo Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy,” while the relaxed lyricism of the Second Symphony evoked comparisons with the Pastoral. Similarly, the Third Symphony — even according to its original conductor — was said to share a “heroic” quality with the Eroica, Beethoven’s own Third Symphony. Yet for all its moments of surging, dynamic passion, Brahms’ Third is remarkably anti-heroic. Its sound world is saturated with deliciously unexpected moments of inward-looking intimacy. More fundamentally, the Third subverts the ultimate “heroic” paradigm of an aggressively victorious conclusion. That each of the movements ends quietly only emphasizes the novelty of its ethereal closure, which predates the famously subdued endings of Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique and Mahler’s Fourth and Ninth Symphonies. The opening ranks among the most striking in the literature, with three sustained chords that lead right into the first theme proper, launching what sounds like an epic journey in fully “heroic” March

mode. As it happens, the Third is the briefest, most compact of Brahms’ four symphonies. Instead of taking a far-ranging journey, it will come full-circle to end with a variant on this gesture. As for those first three ascending chords, they outline a basic figure (F-A-F) that is part of the score’s musical DNA. We initially hear the second member of that trio as an A-flat, in fact, which twists the symphony’s home key into the minor. This introduces a tension between major and minor — a startling gambit, right at the beginning — that will be worked out through the course of the symphony. A famous bit of lore holds that Brahms had devised a sort of personal code for his status as a bachelor, the notes F-A-F corresponding to the initials of the phrase “frei aber froh” — “free/unattached but happy.” This was meant as a counterpart to that of his friend, the violinist Joseph Joachim, who himself complained that he was “frei aber einsam” — “free but lonely,” i.e., F-A-E. Brahms scholars have debunked the validity of this particular association, but, in purely musical terms, the F-A-F motif does serve as a significant unifying element. Listen, for example, to how it is immediately repeated beneath the official opening theme in the violins. This ascending gesture tends to recur without change — though usually deeply embedded within other events — while Brahms applies his genius for transformation and recombination to the rest of the thematic material. The sweeping first theme is more verifiably connected to a personal element: Brahms’ memories of Schumann. Here, the reference is to the grand opening theme of the latter’s Rhenish Symphony (which the Nashville Symphony performed earlier this season). On one level, the Third weaves a kind of homage to Brahms’ former mentor into its language, but the music is unmistakably Brahmsian. His signature style shapes every parameter, from the imaginative juxtaposition of ideas throughout to the rhythmic contours of his writing. The same holds for the fertile lyricism
of the Third, among the most exquisitely tuneful of Brahms’ works. Savor, for example, the exquisite grace of the second theme (heard after a sly reference to Wagner’s Venusberg music from Tannhäuser), which is initially sung by clarinet and bassoon. This undergoes some surprising transformations — even stealing the more passionate character of the first theme — before the movement winds down to a subdued close. The two middle movements reinforce the wistful, autumnal character often associated with the Third. This is especially apparent in Brahms’ exquisitely tinted orchestration. The Andante, which unfolds in a modified sonata form, brings the earlier clarinet-bassoon combination to the fore. Together, they present the chorale-like main theme, as well as the second theme, which “disappears” but is brought back later in the final movement. In lieu of a scherzo, Brahms writes a characterful intermezzo (in C minor to the Andante’s C major) whose chief melody literally breathes, alternately inhaling and exhaling its sighs. New rhythmic figures flicker through the intervening middle section. The symphony’s major-minor dichotomy frames the extraordinary shape of the closing Allegro movement, which begins in F minor, with a mysteriously winding theme given by the strings in unison (a cousin to the opening of the finale to Brahms’ Second Symphony). The suppressed quality here contrasts with the violent outbursts that follow, but Brahms continually implies new connections and links between the various musical ideas. Eventually, the second theme from the Andante reappears, preparing the way for a return to the beginning in the highly original coda. In fact, it’s possible to parse the Third as a single “super-movement” made of four large sections. Brahms swerves back to F major and prepares for the recall of the final measures. With a sense of inevitability that doesn’t resort to the ham-fisted rhetoric of a Big Statement, the symphony’s opening theme lands into place and gently spirals downward through the strings.

JOHN ADAMS Born on February 15, 1947, in Worcester, Massachusetts; currently lives in Berkeley, California The Dharma at Big Sur for Electric Violin and Orchestra Adams composed The Dharma at Big Sur in 2003. Tracy Silverman was the soloist in the world premiere, with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic in the inaugural concert of Walt Disney Concert Hall on October 24, 2003. These performances mark the Nashville premiere. In addition to solo amplified violin, the score calls for piccolo, 2 bass clarinets, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones (3rd is contrabass trombone), tuba, timpani, chimes, almglocken, 4 small gongs, 10 tuned low gongs, triangle, crotales, glockenspiel, marimba, vibraphone, xylophone , 2 keyboard samplers, piano, 2 harps and strings. estimated length: 27 minutes Following his small-town New England upbringing and education at Harvard, John Adams decided to forsake the East Coast music establishment and head West, to San Francisco, in the early 1970s. He immediately took to the Bay Area’s Shangri-La of experimentalism, where, unfettered by the constraints of academic fashion, he felt encouraged to find his voice as a composer. With The Dharma at Big Sur from 2003 — written decades after he had first fallen in love with the West Coast — Adams came to terms with the profound transformation stimulated by this move. According to his long-term operatic collaborator Peter Sellars, this is the composer’s “first complete California piece, where the final traces of the East Coast are gone,” and represents “the open road in California: artistically, spiritually, socially.” What spurred Adams to reflect on the meaning of this transition was an orchestral commission to celebrate the opening of Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The composer found that the exhilarating architectural design by Frank
Gehry and the resplendent acoustics “embodied a watershed moment in the history of West Coast culture.” Initially, he intended an ambient orchestral piece John Adams that would include passages from Jack Kerouac “evoking my own sense of liberation and excitement” on reaching such dramatic coastal vistas as Big Sur. But Adams’ encounter with the unique sound of Tracy Silverman’s six-string electric violin at a jazz club inspired him to construct a concerto for that instrument. Jack Kerouac remains present, however, in the title — a conflation of his books The Dharma Bums and Big Sur — as well as in Adams’ association of Kerouac’s prose rhythms with the style of Silverman’s playing. Other guiding presences include the California maverick composers Lou Harrison and Terry Riley, both of whom, like Kerouac, have looked toward Asian culture to expand their artistic vocabularies. Just as Harrison and Riley had drawn on non-Western ideas from Indonesia and India, Adams listened to how music is made in these cultures, as well as to the playing of Kayhan Kalhor, the Iranian virtuoso on the kamancheh (bowed spike fiddle). Adams became especially interested in departing from the rigorously defined tuning system of equal temperament. (This system, which is the norm in Western classical music, divides the notes of a chromatic scale into 12 evenly spaced pitches.) He chose to focus instead on expression where “the real meaning of the music is in between the notes.” Thus his concerto calls for “just” intonation from the soloist — a tuning where the intervals between notes are unconventional. (His original plan to have the entire ensemble play this way proved impossible in practical terms.) March

Adams synthesized all of these impressions — musical, technical, literary, spiritual — to forge the unique language at the heart of The Dharma at Big Sur. The concerto is divided into two parts. “A New Day,” which is dedicated to Lou Harrison, is slow and meditative, with an orchestral drone established in the very first bars. From this the violin rises up in rhapsodies that seem to soar free of meter. Adams’ use of modal variations on B major (which reflect his “just” tuning) is emphasized by the role of the soloist, who dominates with a linear, endlessly unspooling melody. Much of the concerto’s magic also comes from Adams’ superb orchestral ear. Here he deploys his ensemble to mimic the shimmering sonority, for example, of a Javanese gamelan, and he omits almost all of the woodwinds on account of the harmonic blending and smoothing out they would unavoidably bring to the texture. Toward the end of “A New Day,” the orchestra pushes forward with a passage of bell-like resonances, and we suddenly become aware of a more definite pulse. Part two, “Sri Moonshine,” takes wing with a jazzy, rhythmically shaped line in the violin. Adams’ title refers to the Indian flavor inspired by Terry Riley, its dedicatee: As in a classical Indian raga, the slow introduction has given way to a faster section in which the meter is now clearly felt. One of the marvels of the entire concerto is the illusion of improvisation Adams achieves, when in fact he had to plan each detail with utmost care — in part to cope with the challenge of balancing the ensemble with his genre-defying use of electric violin. Adams takes full advantage of the extended range on Silverman’s six-string violin, plunging deep below to cello-like notes and rising aloft, as Adams aptly puts it, “like a seagull moving in a windstorm.” Gongs and brass overlap in waves, building a feeling of immense space, and the music looks beyond the horizon toward its vibrant resting place. There Adams leaves us, as he expresses it in a transcendent pun, “on one enormous, ecstatic expression of ‘just B.’ ”

ALBERTO GINASTERA Born on April 11, 1916, in Buenos Aires, Argentina; died on June 25, 1983, in Geneva, Switzerland Estancia: Four Dances, Op. 8a Ginastera composed the ballet Estancia in 1941. He soon adapted four of its episodes into a compact orchestral suite, which was given its premiere by the Teatro Colón Orchestra under Ferruccio Calusio in Buenos Aires on December 5, 1943. The Nashville Symphony’s first performance took place on October 7 & 8, 1974, with Music Director Thor Johnson. The score calls for 2 piccolos, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, snare drum, tenor drum, bass drum, triangle, tambourine, cymbals, castanets, tam-tam, xylophone, piano and strings estimated length: 12 minutes When he wrote this music, Alberto Ginastera was just at the beginning of a career that would bring him international renown for his innovative synthesis of modernism with national, folkloric elements. The composer himself used to divide his career into three periods that culminated in a phase of “neo-expressionism,” the longest of the three, which lasted until his death. Estancia (“Ranch”) dates from the first, when he was focusing on the musical traditions of his native Argentina. Ginastera had already made a splash as a conservatory student with his early ballet Panambí, which explored Amerindian musical heritage. The piece impressed Lincoln Kirstein, who had teamed up with choreographer George Balanchine to found the American Ballet Caravan (one of the forerunners of what eventually became New York City Ballet). The company made a tour of South America in 1941, at which Kirstein met Ginastera and commissioned him to write a new ballet score, asking for a scenario based on “Argentine country life.” The 25-year-old Ginastera turned to the 19th-
century epic Martín Fierro by Argentine poet José Hernández to devise Estancia’s scenario. The one-act ballet celebrates the vitality of the Alberto Ginastera Argentine gaucho life on the grassy plains, or pampas, during the course of a single day. Its simple action centers around a city boy who falls in love with the pretty daughter of a cattle ranch owner. But he has to get past her initial rejection and wins the girl by proving that he can best the cowboys at their own macho game. The American Ballet Caravan was dissolved before Estancia could be staged. To salvage what he could for the time being, Ginastera prepared a shorter suite of four dances from the original halfBAGH/TPAC ad hour score. Its triumphant premiere in Buenos
Aires in 1943 secured the composer’s fame, although the full ballet wouldn’t be performed until 1952. These four dances from Estancia have since become Ginastera’s best-known music in the concert hall. (Rock fans in the early 1970s encountered Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s adaptation of Ginastera’s 1961 First Piano Concerto on the Brain Salad Surgery album.) The first dance, Los trabajadores agrícolas (“The Land Workers”), is set to thrillingly vibrant rhythms that convey the strength of those working the field. Ginastera adds variety to the dance’s repeated rhythmic patterns through his boldly colorful orchestration and majestically clashing harmonies. The ensuing Danza del trigo (“Wheat Dance”) is, by contrast, almost impressionistic in its ecstatic, sun-kissed homage to the shimmering horizons of the pampas. Los peones de hacienda (“The Cattlemen”) thunders with even more muscular energy than the first dance. Ginastera pairs percussion and brass to evoke a sense of raw, elemental power. As its name suggests, Danza final (“Final 11/2/09 9:56 AM Page 1 Dance”) is taken from the ballet’s concluding

number, in which the city boy engages in a traditional dancing tournament (the malambo) and outdoes the gauchos. The orchestra passes the obsessive malambo rhythm back and forth with increasingly fevered frenzy.

Orchestra of Wales, the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague, the Vienna State Opera, the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo, the Flemish Radio Orchestra/Brussels Philharmonic and the Zurich Opera. Kalmar’s most recent recordings on the Cedille label include two 2008 releases with the Grant Park Orchestra: one of works by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Aaron Jay Kernis, and one featuring the world-renowned mezzo-soprano Jennifer Larmore. Other highly acclaimed releases include his 2006 recording of the Szymanowski, Martinů and Bartók Violin Concertos with the Grant Park Orchestra and Jennifer Koh; his 2003 recording of the Joachim and Brahms Violin Concertos featuring Rachel Barton and the Chicago Symphony; and 2002’s American Works for Organ and Orchestra featuring David Schrader and the Grant Park Orchestra. Kalmar was born in Uruguay to Austrian parents. He began studying violin at age 6, and at age 15 his musical development led him to the Vienna Academy of Music, where he studied conducting with Karl Osterreicher. He resides in Portland, Oregon, and Vienna, Austria. TRACY SILVERMAN, electric violin Tracy Silverman has performed and recorded with a virtual who’s-who in the rock, pop, new music and jazz fields, and is a leading figure in the admittedly small field of electric violinists. Known both in the concert hall and in clubs, he has developed an instantly recognizable sound on his instrument. His 1999 self-produced release Trip to the Sun has become a cult favorite, which Billboard magazine pronounced “the most adventurous Windham Hill album ever.” Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams wrote his electric violin concerto, The Dharma at Big Sur, expressly for Silverman, calling it “the closest thing to a genuine collaboration I’ve ever done with a performer.” Silverman performed it with the L.A. Philharmonic under Esa-Pekka Salonen for the gala opening of the orchestra’s Frank Gehry-
Carlos Kalmar
designed Walt Disney Concert Hall. Since then, he has performed Dharma with the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Royal Albert Hall; with the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra in Santa Cruz, Calif.; and again with the L.A. Philharmonic at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall in New York City. A recording of the work was released in September 2006 featuring Silverman with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Adams conducting. Silverman was first violinist with the Turtle Island String Quartet and has been featured as a violinist and record producer on CBS News
Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood. He produced and appears on Jim Brickman’s hit CDs Simple Things and Love Songs and Lullabies, and he has also appeared on two of Brickman’s popular PBS specials. An international touring artist, in 1999 he was named artist-in-residence by the city of Hamburg, Tracy Silverman Germany, and is a frequent concert attraction in Brazil. Of Silverman’s playing, the Rhein-Zeitung wrote, “...technically brilliant to the fingertips, but overthrowing all the usual preconceived ideas.” Silverman has toured the U.S. with Jim Brickman and with the Windham Hill Winter Solstice Tour, and he has toured internationally with The Terry Riley Vigil Band, Caito Marcondes and in solo concerts and various collaborations. He lives with his wife and four children in Nashville, Tennessee. To learn more about his current activities, visit www.TracySilverman.com.

WYNTON MARSALIS, music director As a jazz musician, trumpeter, composer, bandleader, advocate for the arts and educator, Wynton Marsalis has helped propel jazz to the forefront of American culture. In 1997, he became the first jazz artist to be awarded the Pulitzer Prize in music for his work Blood on the Fields, which was commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center. He has served as the organization’s artistic director, Wynton Marsalis as well as music director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra since its inception. In 1982, Marsalis made his recording debut as a leader, and since then he has produced a catalogue of more than 40 recordings for Columbia Jazz and Sony Classical, which have won him a total of nine GRAMMY® Awards. In 1983, he became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz GRAMMY® Awards in one year, a feat he repeated in 1984. Not content to focus solely on his musicianship, Marsalis has devoted equal time to developing his compositional skills. Embraced by the dance community, he has received commissions to create major compositions for Garth Fagan Dance, Peter Martins at the New York City Ballet, Twyla Tharp for the American Ballet Theatre, and Judith Jamison at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre. Marsalis’ commitment to improving lives through music and his contributions to the arts paint a portrait of his character and humanity. He is internationally respected as a teacher and as a spokesman for music education, having received honorary degrees from 29 leading academic institutions. In 2001, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan proclaimed Marsalis an international ambassador of goodwill by appointing him a United Nations Messenger of Peace. He also has been awarded the Congressional Horizon Award, the French Grand Prix du Disque, the Louis Armstrong Memorial Medal and the Netherlands’ Edison Award, among others. Through his leadership of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Marsalis continues to spread the spirit of swing and raise awareness of jazz in the consciousness of the American public and the world.

He has also recently made successful debuts with several major American orchestras, including the Baltimore Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra (where he was invited back for a subscription week and tour), the Seattle Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Other recent orchestral engagements in North America include appearances with the orchestras of Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Phoenix, San Antonio and San Diego; the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C.; and at the Grant Park Festival. Also in demand in Central and South America, Guerrero conducts regularly in Venezuela with the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar, with which he has had a special relationship for many years. His debut at the Casals Festival with Yo-Yo Ma and the Puerto Rico Symphony in 2005 was followed by return engagements in 2006 and 2007. He also made his debut at the Teatro Colón in Argentina in 2005. Elsewhere, he is a regular guest conductor of the Auckland Philharmonia in New Zealand. Equally at home with opera, Guerrero works regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème and most recently a new production of Rigoletto. In February 2008, he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival, to great acclaim. In June 2004, Guerrero was awarded the Helen M. Thompson Award by the League of American Orchestras, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide. Guerrero holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was most recently music director of the Eugene Symphony. From 1999 to 2004, he served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra.

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."
”
—Mike Carey General Manager • Design Gallery Homes by Drees www.Dreeshomes.com
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. 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

On March 23, Lipscomb University raises money for America’s finest—our fighting men and women—with an evening of stories and songs presented by some of the country’s musical finest! Join Gen. Tommy Franks in welcoming Charlie Daniels, Amy Grant, Kix Brooks, Gretchen Wilson and others as they salute our military and raise money to provide a free education at Lipscomb University. Special guests will include hundreds of active duty military and their families. Proceeds from the evening will go to making up the difference between what the Veteran’s Administration will pay for college and tuition at Lipscomb.
Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, the Lipscomb box office, or events.lipscomb.edu with all proceeds going directly to a free education for our vets. They know freedom isn’t free, but we think their education should be.

Stop and Smell the Roses Nashville Symphony has a flower named in its honor
O
n the morning of March 24, the early spring breezes wafting through the Schermerhorn’s Martha Rivers Ingram Garden Courtyard will smell a little more fragrant than usual. That’s because members of the Nashville Rose Society will be present to unveil a brand-new breed of rose they’ve named in honor of the Nashville Symphony. In development for the past decade, the Crescendo Rose was hybridized by Dr. Keith Zary, vice president of research for Jackson & Perkins, one of the nation’s largest and oldest rose breeders. After its debut at the Schermerhorn, the Crescendo Rose will be planted in the Nashville Music Garden, located across the street in Hall of Fame Park. According to Sam Jones, a member and past president of the Nashville Rose Society, the idea of naming a flower for the Nashville Symphony originated with Pat Bullard, a trustee of the LifeWorks Foundation and one of the driving forces behind the Nashville Music Garden. “There are so many roses in the garden honoring musicians and songwriters and other artists,” Jones explains, “but not the Nashville Symphony. And since the concert hall sits at one edge of the garden, it made perfect sense.”

The Crescendo Rose is classified as a Hybrid Tea Rose, a specially bred variety that originated nearly 150 years ago in France. It sports creamcolored petals with a pink, almost peachy-colored tinge. “We thought about the color,” Jones says, “and how it would match the upholstery in Laura Turner Concert Hall. It also has a wonderful fragrance — a really nice, old-rose fragrance, which is one of the reasons we selected this rose especially for the Nashville Symphony. Many breeds have been hybridized for color and form, but they’ve lost their fragrance, and we wanted to be sure this one was fragrant.” Gardeners and Nashville Symphony fans will be able to purchase the Crescendo Rose after Jackson & Perkins publishes its 2011 wholesale catalogue. Jones says that nurseries across the country will begin stocking the breed next year — but, he adds, “We hope that a few nurseries will be given the privilege of stocking it this year.” For more information about the Crescendo Rose, call 615.687.6400.
