Overture
I am thrilled to announce that we’ll reopen our building with a very special New Year’s Eve concert featuring Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero and the orchestra with guest violinist Itzhak Perlman.
The past five months have been an extraordinary time for our organization and for our entire region. It has been truly inspiring to watch people come together to help rebuild our community. Nashville is emerging stronger than ever, and all of us at the Nashville Symphony are incredibly excited about returning to our home. We entered this concert season with a renewed sense of purpose, and we understand our mission — performing great music for all of Middle Tennessee — better than ever before. So many of you have stepped forward to show your support for our organization, and I don’t know that I can fully express the profound gratitude that we feel. Nothing quite captures your outpouring of assistance and encouragement better than the following story, which happened just a few days after the flood: The waters had barely begun to recede, and several members of our staff were sitting in the Schermerhorn’s outdoor courtyard trying to figure out our first steps toward recovery. A woman named Susan Condor walked up and handed us a box. She explained that her daughter Emily, who had visited the Schermerhorn with her school, was terribly upset when she’d heard about the damage to the Symphony Center on the news. That box contained all of the money Emily had saved up — a total of $44. She handed it to her mother and said, “Mommy, will you please give this to the symphony?” As we work on our return to the Schermerhorn, I think often of Emily Condor and that precious gift she bestowed upon us. It is our goal to touch everyone’s life just as meaningfully as we touched hers, and I want you to know that when you support the Nashville Symphony, you touch our lives as well. We have been the recipients of so many people’s generosity — among them the Nashville-based musician Ben Folds, who’ll perform a benefit concert for the Nashville Symphony on November 27 at TPAC. Repairs on Schermerhorn Symphony Center will be completed in December, and I am thrilled to announce that we’ll reopen our building with a very special New Year’s Eve concert featuring Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero and the orchestra with guest violinist Itzhak Perlman. Stay tuned for more details about this exciting event, and in the meantime, I look forward to seeing you at our concerts around town this fall. ALAN D. VALENTINE President & CEO Nashville Symphony

Ben Folds gives Nashville Symphony ‘Keys to Music City’ November 27 concert with orchestra will also benefit local volunteer firefighters On Saturday, November 27, Ben Folds and the Nashville Symphony will perform “Keys to Music City,” a benefit for the Symphony at Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s Andrew Jackson Hall. A portion of proceeds from the concert will also go to two local volunteer firefighting organizations: Williamson County Rescue Squad and Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department. Folds’ only appearance in the Nashville area this year, “Keys to Music City” will conclude his U.S. tour in support of Lonely Avenue, his newly released collaboration with English novelist Nick Hornby. A Nashville resident, the pianist and singer-songwriter says he wants to help the Nashville Symphony, which sustained an estimated $40 million in losses after Schermerhorn Symphony Center was severely damaged by the flooding that took place throughout Middle Tennessee in May. “The flood happened in a matter of hours, but digging out of it will take years,” he says. “This concert is an effort to help keep the recovery in the front of our minds and to help restore our great symphony hall. Of course, a donation to our first responders like our volunteer firemen is in order too, because without them the Middle Tennessee community would have lost so much more.” This will be Folds’ second time to perform with the Nashville Symphony, following his sold-out appearance with the orchestra in September 2008. For this performance, the Symphony will be led by Francisco Noya, Resident Conductor of the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra. Tickets start at $55 and are available by visiting NashvilleSymphony.org or by calling 615.687.6400.

Meet Rebecca J Willie Second violinist, Nashville Symphony Hometown: Buffalo, N.Y. Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 2002 What’s your favorite thing about playing in the orchestra? I’m extremely aware of how lucky I am that I get to make a living doing the thing that I’m most passionate about. And living in Nashville is great...there’s so much going on here and it’s a wonderful city.
Rebecca J Willie
People sometimes ask me [who my favorite composer is], and I tell them that one of the reasons I became a classical musician is because I love them all.”
What are you most looking forward to performing this season? I’m one of those musicians who’s crazy about Nutcracker, and I look forward to playing it every year. My dad was a horn player with the National Ballet of Canada and I grew up seeing Nutcracker every December. Is there a piece of music you’ve always wanted to perform, but haven’t ever had the chance? It used to be Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and then I finally got the chance to perform it a couple of years ago and again at the beginning of this season. Who’s your favorite non-classical musician? I’m a huge Béla Fleck and Lyle Lovett fan. Do you have a favorite composer? People sometimes ask me this question, and I tell them that one of the reasons I became a classical musician is because I love them all. But if I had to pick one, I’d have to say that I haven’t played anything by Prokofiev that I didn’t really love. What would you be doing if you weren’t a professional musician? I’d be in the restaurant business somehow. What do you like to do when you’re not performing with the orchestra? I really love performing chamber music. I also love traveling with my husband, going to different places and seeing what makes them interesting. In May, we went to Vermont and Maine, where we went hiking and learned how to make cheese. Last summer, we went to Ireland for two weeks, which was absolutely incredible. Could you share a memorable onstage experience with the Nashville Symphony? I remember when we did a performance of Brahms’ Fourth Symphony with conductor Andreas Delfs at TPAC. I thought his interpretation was really exciting, and I was so involved in that performance that when we finished I almost didn’t want the audience to clap and interrupt the moment. There are others: Kenneth Schermerhorn’s funeral was a powerful experience. For someone who hadn’t been in the orchestra that long and didn’t know him that well, I could feel what other people were feeling through the music we were performing. Another favorite moment was doing the acoustic rehearsals at the Schermerhorn before the hall opened to the public. October

David Sanborn
About the artists DAVID SANBORN, saxophone “Among the great saxophonists of the past four decades,” says Rolling Stone, “David Sanborn has earned an identity all his own. He’s jazz, he’s funk, he’s soul, he’s pop, he’s blues, he’s rock. Most remarkably, he excels in each of these genres with a voice that is both forceful and tender, sensuous and subtle.” Sanborn is perhaps best known for his standout solo on David Bowie’s 1975 hit “Young Americans,” one of many celebrated recording projects that evolved out of Sanborn’s live supporting roles. His matchless tone has been sought to bolster performances by the likes of Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder — many of whom have likewise David Sanborn gone on to enlist his inimitable presence in the studio. The seminal encounter in Sanborn’s musical life happened in 1956 when, at age 11, he first heard a live performance by Ray Charles. The R&B legend “sang with a passion I had never before experienced,” says Sanborn, who was also enthralled by the star saxophonists in Charles’ band, Hank Crawford and Dave “Fathead” Newman. “Both Hank and Fathead had a mixture of deep-country blues, sanctified gospel and big-city jazz. The message of this music came across like lightning — get a saxophone.” Sanborn did indeed get a saxophone and a voice of his own. Along with a handful of other alto players in the history of the instrument — such as Benny Carter, Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley and Paul Desmond — Sanborn’s sound is instantly recognizable. His musical voice is deeply human, a cry of both pain and celebration. With his latest album, Only Everything, Sanborn pays homage a second time to the aesthetic of Ray Charles (following 2008’s Here and Gone), revisiting his roots with fresh perspective and offering special tribute to Newman and Crawford along the way. From the title tune — a Sanborn original — to standards like “Baby, Won’t You Please Come Home,” Only Everything is a passionate reexamination of the blues. And when David Sanborn reexamines the blues, he reignites his spirit, his source, his sense of wonder and mystery. With unrestrained heart and soul, he reinvents the music of which he is an indisputable master. JOEY DEFRANCESCO, Hammond B3 organ Joey DeFrancesco comes from a musical family. His grandfather, Joseph DeFrancesco, was a reed man, and his father, “Papa” John DeFrancesco, is a fine jazz organist in his own right. He began taking a strong interest in the organ when he was just 4 years old, and by the time he was 5, he was playing Jimmy Smith songs verbatim. As the years went on, his interest and love for music and for the organ only grew stronger. At 10, he began to play in a band in Philadelphia, which featured legendary saxophonist Hank Mobley and drummer “Philly” Joe Jones. He signed a recording contract with Columbia Records and, at 17, released “All of Me,” a record that heralded the resurgence of the Hammond sound in popular music. The same year, he was called on by jazz great Miles Davis to join his band, and he toured all over Europe. At 18, DeFrancesco began touring with his own quartet, and 4 years later he joined guitarist John McLaughlin and drummer Dennis Chambers to form the group The Free Sprits. DeFrancesco has been around the world and back dozens of times with his own trio, which includes Byron Landham on drums and Paul Bollenback on guitar; he has also played with great musicians such as Benny Golson, James Moody, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Cobb, George Benson, John October

Scofield and Joe Lovano. He has won the Down Beat Critics and Readers poll every year since 2002, as well as the Jazz Journalist award, and he was nominated for a GRAMMY® for his record “Falling in Love Again.” David Sanborn enlisted DeFrancesco for his most recent album, Only Everything, and says, “For my money, Joey is the ruling monarch of the Hammond B3. His mastery of the instrument is complete. But more than a technically remarkable player, Joey has a feeling that’s unparalleled. No one grooves harder, yet no one relaxes deeper.” DeFrancesco continues to tour with his trio and is also currently touring with Sanborn. After several releases as a leader, he’s very excited about his next release, Never Can Say Goodbye, which features the music of Michael Jackson. He’s also involved, along with Elvio Previati, in the development of the new KeyB organ, which perfectly replicates the sound of a classic Tonewheel organ. Joey also loves teaching and sharing his knowledge of music and the organ.

“Here to Stay” The Music of George and Ira Gershwin
ProgramTwo
Pops Series
About the program
Few figures did more to shape American music than Ira and George Gershwin — brothers who were born in 1896 and 1898, respectively, to immigrant parents in New York. George became a Tin Pan Alley “song plugger” while still a teenager and composed the tune for “Swanee” (made famous by Al Jolson) in 1919. His success as a popular songwriter, however, did nothing to quell an ambition to compose serious symphonic music. In 1924, his Rhapsody in Blue, a “jazz concerto” that combined modern classical music with elements of jazz and ragtime, premiered before an audience that included such luminaries as Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky. Classical critics hardly knew what to make of this stunningly original work, but it was instantly popular with audiences, and the sinuous clarinet line that opens the piece remains one of the most recognizable passages in American music. As George rose to prominence as a composer, Ira established his own career as a lyricist, penning the musical Two Little Girls in Blue in 1921. Though the brothers had co-written a single Broadway tune in 1918, it wasn’t until 1924 that they began a major collaboration with Lady Be Good, a vehicle for Fred and Adele Astaire. Thus began a partnership that produced a clutch of classic musicals, including Funny Face, Girl Crazy and Strike Up the Band, with their enduring songs such as “ ’S Wonderful,” “Embraceable You,” “I Got Rhythm” and “The Man I Love.” Even while he was writing popular Broadway fare with his brother, George Gershwin continued his exploration of symphonic music, composing his Piano Concerto in F in 1925 and the symphonic tone poem An American in Paris in 1928. The two strains of his work were brought together in the creation of Porgy and Bess, a “folk opera” based on Edwin Dubose Heyward’s 1924 novel, Porgy. With music by George and lyrics co-written by Ira and Heyward, the work premiered in 1935. Though one reviewer at the time declared, “Gershwin must now be accepted as a serious composer,” critical opinion was largely dubious about the show’s blend of classical and popular musical elements — a reaction that was enhanced by the fact that it was presented in a shortened and supposedly more audience-friendly form.

Though truncated versions of the show were successfully staged over the years, the full-length opera was neglected until 1976, when an uncut version was finally produced. Porgy and Bess is now regarded as a true opera and a landmark in 20th century American music. Following George’s death in 1937, Ira collaborated with prominent composers including Jerome Kern and Kurt Weill. He also protected and promoted the Gershwin legacy, most notably with the MGM musical An American in Paris, which is built around George’s symphonic composition and the brothers’ classic show tunes. Today, it’s impossible to imagine the American songbook without the compositions of the Gershwin brothers, and without the synthesis of classical, jazz and pop elements they helped to pioneer. — Nashville-based freelance writer Maria Browning is pops program annotator for the Nashville Symphony.

battle with breast cancer filled with surgeries, chemo and radiation to end up in the trenches helping others survive. One thing is certain about McNair’s life odyssey — it’s subject to change! And now “Subject to Change” is the title of her new one-woman show. The year 2009 was particularly dreamy, as she sang Guinevere opposite George Hearn’s King Arthur and Rod Gilfry’s Lancelot in the Ravinia Festival’s opening-night performance of Camelot. She also added the role of Desiree in Sondheim’s A Little Night Music in a new production from the Central City Opera and then went on to a star turn in American Opera Theater’s production of Songspiel. McNair has performed on more than 70 recordings, ranging from Mozart arias with Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields to CDs with André Previn of music by Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen. She was thrilled to accept the invitation to sing Bach’s Mass in B minor with the Vienna Philharmonic for Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, to sing for Hillary Clinton, and to perform at the U.S. Supreme Court. A proud Buckeye from Mansfield, Ohio, McNair earned a Master’s degree with distinction from the Indiana University School of Music, received honorary doctorates from Westminster College (1997) and Indiana University (1998), and the Ohio Governor’s Award for Outstanding Achievement in Arts and Entertainment (1999). She joined the prestigious voice faculty of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University in 2006. In 2007, she received The Gaudium Award

Cole’s performances have prompted accolades from some of the foremost critics in America, including Andrew Patner, who wrote, “A piano genius...he reveals an understanding of harmony, rhythmic complexity and pure show-biz virtuosity that would have had Vladimir Horowitz smiling with envy.” According to Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune, “When Cole sits down at the piano, you would swear Gershwin himself was at work…. Cole stands as the best Gershwin pianist in America today.” Cole’s engagements have included sold-out performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, as well as appearances with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall, the National Symphony at Kennedy Center, the Hong Kong Philharmonic, Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra (London), Boston Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra, New Zealand Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Edmonton Symphony (Canada) and many others.

A Leader Among Leaders
In 1981, Thomas F. Frist, Jr., and a charter group of Nashville leaders started the Alexis de Tocqueville Society as a way for leaders to publicly demonstrate their commitment to making Nashville a better community. Since that time, the Society has been adopted by major cities across the country and around the world. It has claimed as members such names as Gates, Dell, Lilly, Trump, and Hunt.

He currently works with songwriting legend Hugh Martin, who served as vocal coach to Lena Horne, Ethel Waters, Judy Garland and many others. Cole’s discography includes Gershwin’s Oh, Kay! with soprano Dawn Upshaw (Elektra/ Nonesuch), which was the 1995 Gramophone Musical Album of the Year, as well as his critically acclaimed solo piano disc, Cole Plays Gershwin, and his recently released vocal debut album, In the Words of Ira: The Songs of Ira Gershwin. LARI WHITE, vocals With a multifaceted career as a recording artist, hit songwriter and producer, independent record label owner and versatile actress, Lari White is known as the “Renaissance woman” of Nashville. Her music has earned three GRAMMY® Awards (The Apostle soundtrack and Amazing Grace 1 and 2: A Country Tribute), as well as RIAA Gold status (Wishes/ RCA Records). Her most recent studio albums include the R&B-flavored Green Eyed Soul — hailed by The Times of London as “the best soul
album this year” — and My First Affair, music from her 2007 live show at the Oak Room in New York City. White made music history as the first female producer of a male superstar when she produced Toby Keith’s platinum album White Trash with Money. Her songs have been recorded by Tammy Wynette, Toby Keith, Lonestar, Danny Gokey, Pat Green and Sarah Buxton. She turned heads around the world with her role as the “Angel at the Crossroads” opposite Tom Hanks in the blockbuster movie Cast Away. She has also starred in films for Lifetime TV and CMT. She made her critically-acclaimed Broadway debut in Ring of Fire (2006) and received rave reviews for her performances in the Marilyn and Alan Bergman Tribute with Michael Feinstein at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center. She’s been a featured artist with Marvin Hamlisch and the New York Pops and has wowed critics and audiences alike with her appearances at Lincoln Center and Town Hall in New York City. White is now writing and producing in collaboration with a variety of artists in her Nashville recording studio, The Holler. Danny Gokey’s “Will Not Say Goodbye” — written by White with her husband, songwriter/artist Chuck Cannon, and Vicky McGehee — is currently climbing the charts. She has also started production on Cannon’s third studio album and on her own long-anticipated gospel album.

RICHARD WAGNER Born on May 22, 1813, in Leipzig, Germany; died on February 13, 1883, in Venice, Italy Prelude to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg Wagner composed his opera Die Meistersinger between 1862 and 1867, but he wrote the Prelude beforehand, while still finalizing the libretto, in the spring of 1862. After the tormented passions of his Tristan und Isolde, Wagner turned Richard Wagner his gaze toward the rich tradition of the past, meshing his leitmotif system with the spirit of Bach’s counterpoint to create the plush tapestry of the Prelude to Die Meistersinger. First performance: November 1, 1862, conducted by Wagner in a concert at the Leipzig Gewandhaus First Nashville Symphony performance: March 11, 1947, at War Memorial Auditorium, with Music Director William Strickland Estimated length: 10 minutes Wagner drafted his first ideas for Die Meistersinger as early as 1845, but he waited nearly two decades before beginning to compose the opera, which he created in the wake of the feverish chromaticism and ambiguous tonality of Tristan und Isolde. Die Meistersinger, Wagner’s only mature comic opera, served as a kind of antidote to the anguished music drama of its immediate predecessor, with Tristan’s dark, obsessively erotic night giving way to life-affirming day. In his autobiography, the composer reports that an art-viewing expedition to Venice, where he had written Tristan’s second-act love music, gave him relief from his post-Tristan depression. He found particular inspiration in the work of 16th century painter Titian. The experience of his close contact with the Old Masters of Italian art stimulated Wagner’s fantasy of an imaginary Renaissance utopia in which artistic genius is valued by society. This fantasy became the backdrop for the idealized past conjured by Die Meistersinger. The score glows with the confidence of Bach-inspired counterpoint and hearkens even further back to the traditions of the medieval music guilds. Unlike the mythic gods of the Ring cycle, Die Meistersinger was originally inspired by an actual historical figure, the working-class hero Hans Sachs, a cobbler and poet who belonged to the guild of “master-singers.” The opera calls for a very large cast and features several plot lines that dovetail with the contrapuntal finesse that we hear in the Prelude. Its central love story concerns the efforts of a young, independent-minded knight, Walther, to gain the hand of the beautiful Eva by writing a song that will win the guild’s Midsummer’s Day contest. The rebellious Walther scorns the rules, however, which at first causes the master-singers to reject him — to the delight of the town clerk Beckmesser, the guild’s pedantic archconservative, who plans to win Eva for himself. In this opera about artistic renewal and creativity, Walther ultimately learns from Sachs how to balance innovation and tradition.
What to listen for Even though Wagner wrote the Prelude well before he completed the opera itself, it presents a panoramic overview of the main characters and themes that will be important in the drama (with the exception of Hans Sachs, who has no particular presence in the Prelude). The Prelude can also be enjoyed as a miniature symphony in its own right, quite apart from any knowledge of the opera. The pompous, proud march in C major, which represents the self-important attitude of the mastersingers in procession, does duty as a riveting opening theme. It is followed by a sweetly cadenced contrasting theme, which is associated in the opera with the love between Eva and Walther. A striking October

transition high in the violins segues to another master-singer processional. The Prelude then swells with increasing expression and even incorporates references to the superheated passion of Tristan — now transposed to the brighter, optimistic sound world of Die Meistersinger. With a shift to E major, a portion of the Prize Song, with which Walther will win the contest and Eva’s heart, nonchalantly steals in; the first violins trace the downward zigzag of its opening phrase. Reworking the master-singers theme, a brief scherzo of chattering woodwinds evokes the nitpicking Beckmesser, using mock counterpoint in a tour de force of parody. This passage grows in intensity before spilling over into the Prelude’s grandly symphonic climax. Here Wagner pulls out all the stops, weaving each of his thematic ideas together in a thrilling synthesis, with the Prize Song in the foreground. A final blaze of pure C major brings the Prelude to its triumphant, sunlit ending. The Prelude is scored for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, harp and strings. Recommended listening: A lovely compilation titled Favourite Overtures includes Georg Solti’s vibrant reading of the Meistersinger Prelude with the Chicago Symphony (London). Another classic anthology, Wagner’s Orchestral Music, pairs Herbert von Karajan with the Berlin Philharmonic (EMI). WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Born on January 27, 1756, in Salzburg, Austria; died on December 5, 1791, in Vienna Symphony No. 36 in C major, K. 425 “Linz” Mozart composed this symphony in the fall of 1783. Its nickname comes from its birthplace, the city of Linz, Austria, where Mozart wrote the score during a brief visit, and where it was first performed. The composer’s stopover in Linz Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart occurred while returning to Vienna after an emotionally troubling visit to his native Salzburg. The ambitious and gloriously inventive “Linz” shows Mozart proclaiming his artistic maturity and independence, and proudly affirming the technical advances he had made since starting a new life in the capital city. First performance: November 4, 1783, at the Ballhaus in Linz, Austria, with the composer conducting First Nashville Symphony performance: December 4 & 5, 1967, at War Memorial Auditorium, with Music Director Thor Johnson Estimated length: 28 minutes In August 1782, Mozart defied his father Leopold’s wishes by marrying Constanze Weber. (The Weber family had been a source of strife between father and son ever since Mozart had fallen in love with and been rejected by Constanze’s sister, Aloysia, several years earlier.) Eventually, though, he could no longer put off a promised visit back home to introduce his bride. In late July 1783, together with Constanze, Mozart set off for Salzburg for the first time since he had relocated to the Habsburg capital of Vienna. After an emotionally fraught stay of three months, which failed at achieving the desired reconciliation, the couple made their return to Vienna. They stopped along the way in the city of Linz in Upper Austria. Posterity should be grateful to Count Johann Joseph Thun-Hohenstein, a longstanding family friend and patron, for his hospitable reception. When he learned that Mozart October

A Looming Father Figure Widely admired as a classic biopic, Miloš Forman’s Amadeus (based on the play by Peter Shaffer) has also drawn flak over the years for some of its more blatantly fictional elements. The film’s portrayal of Mozart as a goofy prankster, a Peter Pan unable to mature, merely updates an old Romantic cliché of the composer as an eternal child. But in its depiction of the strained relationship with his father Leopold, Amadeus aptly draws attention to what we know was indeed a fundamental source of tension in the life of the historical Mozart. In 1781, Mozart made the bold decision to break free of Salzburg and reinvent himself as a freelance musician in Vienna. He had come to loathe his native city because of the artistic limitations that his post in the Archbishop of Salzburg’s court imposed on him. But the move to Vienna also signaled a declaration of independence from the controlling influence of Leopold, who had overseen his son’s career since his earliest days as a child prodigy.
and his wife planned a brief sojourn in Linz, he insisted that they stay at his palace, and he immediately organized a concert to showcase the honored guest’s music. There was one catch: The Count wanted to program a symphony to make his first-rate orchestra shine. “As I have not a single symphony with me,” Mozart explained in a letter to his father (written the day after he had come to Linz), “I am writing a new one at breakneck speed.” “Breakneck” is an understatement. According to Mozart’s report, he must have composed what we now know as the “Linz” Symphony between October 30, the date of his arrival, and November 4, the date of the performance — including whatever time was needed to have all the parts for this festively orchestrated work copied out. Yet for all the haste of its composition, the “Linz” displays Mozart’s confidence in his artistry and in the richness of orchestral technique he had acquired as a composer in demand in Vienna. Moreover — and in the aftermath of the unpleasant family discord recently experienced in Salzburg — it
represents an ebullient affirmation of the choices he had made. The “Linz” anticipates the weightier, more potently expressive character of the four symphonies to come: the “Prague” (likewise named after its city of origin) and the great trio of 1788, ending with the “Jupiter.” As Mozart scholar Alfred Einstein writes, the arc traced from the youthful Salzburg symphonies to the mature pieces of his final decade demonstrates “an advance from the decorative to the expressive, from the external to the internal, from mere ceremonial to spiritual avowal.”
What to listen for Mozart gives an immediate cue to his larger-scale ambition here: Never before had he launched a symphony with an imposing, slow introduction. Notice how the majestic, attention-grabbing dotted rhythms — a typical gesture for this sort of introduction — give way to shadowy harmonic wandering. Another forceful call takes us to the doorstep of the spirited Allegro, but Mozart plays his cards strategically in laying out the main theme. First he unveils it as a quiet, even suspenseful murmur in the strings before having the full orchestra, punctuated by trumpets and timpani, announce it. Similarly, the theme itself makes maximal contrast of long sustained notes and a briskly paced ending phrase. Even the transition material at the end of the exposition turns out to be intriguing enough to become a significant topic in the development. After a stealthily prepared recapitulation, Mozart magnifies the proportions with a drawn-out coda. The Andante brings a surprising twist to what Mozart’s listeners would have expected to be a reposeful, melody-centered movement. The unconventional use of trumpets and drums as part of the mix adds dramatic emphasis, while the serenely lilting dance rhythm of the main theme (known as a siciliano) encompasses clouded harmonies and darker emotions. Mozart reverts to more formulaic writing in the Minuet, nicely contrasting his vigorous, muscular dance with a charmingly naïve duet for oboe and bassoon in the trio. In crafting the Presto finale, Mozart clearly relished the quality of musicianship he knew was at his disposal. This is no lightweight rondo to wrap the symphony up, but a substantial sonata form movement filled with thematic variety and inventive detours. Its limber rhythms and tricky ensemble textures call for playing as deceptively effortless as Mozart’s speed in creating this symphonic masterwork. The Linz Symphony is scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. Recommended listening: The late Sir Charles Mackerras conducts the Prague Chamber Orchestra in a splendid account of the “Linz,” which is also paired with Mozart’s subsequent “Prague” Symphony (Telarc). JOHANNES BRAHMS Born on May 7, 1833, in Hamburg, Germany; died on April 3, 1897, in Vienna Concerto for Piano No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83 Brahms began sketching the Piano Concerto No. 2 in 1878, completing the score in July 1881. An example of his confident mastery of large-scale orchestral form, the concerto engagingly fuses a richly developed symphonic language with the soloist’s widely ranging virtuosity.

First Nashville Symphony performance: January 24, 1950, at War Memorial Auditorium with Music Director William Strickland Estimated length: 45 minutes The distance that the mature Brahms had traveled since his early years is nowhere more apparent than in the stark contrast between his pair of piano concertos. More than two decades separate their composition. The tempestuous Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor had exacted a titanic effort to wrestle into shape. Its disastrously negative premiere in 1859 only reinforced the composer’s sense of self-consciousness and prompted his instinct to pace himself cautiously. Seasoned by his hard-won confidence as a composer, the Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major finds Brahms no longer worried about proving his worth. He had famously decided to wait until his 40s to tackle the symphonic genre head-on. By finally assuming the symphonic mantle, Brahms had earned a secure sense of identity with regard to the Beethovenian legacy. Both the First Piano Concerto and First Symphony grapple with the influence of Beethoven’s Ninth and his minor-key “heroic” works. In contrast, the Second Piano Concerto is a latter-day gloss on the “Emperor,” adding a new dimension to the epic and symphonic breadth explored in Beethoven’s last piano concerto. In other words, in the Second Concerto Brahms reconsiders the ambitions that had guided his choices as a composer — along with his desire to find his place within a noble tradition — from a mature perspective. The result is a magnificently rich and spacious sound world. The scoring brims with imaginative colors as it explores the relationship between soloistic individuality and symphonic thinking. There’s even an “extra” movement beyond the routine three movements of a classical or romantic concerto, yet the overall dimensions of the work never seem ponderous. On the contrary, Brahms frequently evokes a disarmingly relaxed mood, which is masterfully countered by moments of dramatic tension. He makes his musical points through subtle connections and juxtapositions rather than overwrought or fussy melodrama.
What to listen for In one of the great opening gestures of the orchestral literature, a solo horn dreamily poses a question (soon echoed by the soloist) and establishes the expansive horizon against which this music will unfold. Brahms allows room for moments of agitation, which can even become fierce, as in the first cadenza-like outburst from the piano before it cedes control to the orchestra. But the overall pattern is one of thoughtful, deeply engaged conversation between soloist and ensemble. Strikingly, Brahms omits the traditional ritual of stand-alone cadenzas, since the keyboard’s point of view is so finely integrated into the larger fabric of the discussion. His writing for the instrument sweeps across its entire spectrum, from the deepest bass to its other extremity — a fitting emblem for the comprehensiveness and abundance of Brahms’s musical imagination. The Second Concerto embraces moments of luminous meditation and intense debate alike, and even revisits the tempestuous attitudes that had characterized the First Concerto. The first movement is massive, with a far-ranging development that is set in motion when the horn theme is sounded in the minor. Yet Brahms balances its proportions with the distribution of energy in the remaining three movements. The Allegro appassionato, which he jokingly referred to as his “little Scherzo,” inserts a kind of self-portrait from earlier days, alluding to the stormy D-minor mood of the First Piano Concerto. The transition of tempo to the contrasting middle section is expertly crafted. Suggesting a parallel with the solo horn heard at the beginning, the Andante begins with a solo cello, its lyricism enhanced by warm strings. The orchestra (thinned out by the silence of trumpets and timpani) lays claim to the melody, around which the piano weaves its elaborations. Brahms here October

echoes a strategy similar to that in the Adagio of Beethoven’s “Emperor.” An exquisitely idyllic interlude offers chamber-like, intimate conversation, as the soloist is joined by a pair of clarinets. Following the large-scale architecture he has set up, Brahms has no need for a blockbuster finale to close the piece. Instead, he offers a highly original, relaxed variant of the rondo principle in a gracious Allegretto. It’s as plentiful in thematic ideas as the first movement was economical. Demanding a characteristically thoughtful rather than showy virtuosity from the soloist, the finale rounds out the Concerto with a satisfying sense of fullness. — Thomas May is the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator. He writes extensively about music and theater. His books include Decoding Wagner and The John Adams Reader. In addition to solo piano, the Piano Concerto No. 2 is scored for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. Recommended listening: Maurizio Pollini’s account with the Berlin Philharmonic led by Claudio Abbado (Deutsche Grammophon).
ABOUT THE artistS
LOUIS LORTIE, piano Celebrated for his interpretations of Chopin and Beethoven, Canadian pianist Louis Lortie has been praised for the fresh perspective he brings to a broad spectrum of the keyboard canon. Following a recital of Chopin’s complete Etudes in London, The Financial Times wrote: “Better Chopin playing than this is not to be heard, not anywhere.” In Berlin, Die Welt wrote that his performances were “possibly the most beautiful Beethoven since the times of Wilhelm Kempff.” He often performs major contemporary works as well, recently concentrating on pieces by British composer Thomas Ades. In February 2010, Lortie performed and toured with Riccardo Chailly and the Leipzig
Gewandhaus Orchestra. He recently concluded his multiyear project with the Montreal Symphony to play and conduct all 27 Mozart Piano Concertos. Last season, he performed a Louis Lortie multi-concert Wagner/ Liszt project at London’s Wigmore Hall, in Berlin and elsewhere. He regularly plays and conducts programs for the Vancouver Symphony, the Quebec Symphony and the Hamburg Symphony. Upcoming engagements include the Chicago Symphony, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Santa Cecilia in Rome, as well as recitals at the Vienna Konzerthaus and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw. Also, next season Lortie celebrates the 200th anniversary of Liszt’s birth by performing the complete “Années de Pèlerinage” at the Liszt Weimar Festival, at New York’s Lincoln Center and in London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. His Chandos recording of the complete “Années” will be released in early 2011. Lortie has performed under the baton of conductors including Lorin Maazel, Kurt Masur and Seiji Ozawa. He has also been involved in many chamber music projects with musicians such as Frank Peter Zimmermann and Gidon Kremer. His regular piano-duo partner is fellow Canadian Helene Mercier, with whom he has made successful recordings on the Chandos label. His recording of the complete Chopin Etudes has been cited by BBC Music Magazine’s special Piano Issue as one of “50 Recordings by Superlative Pianists.” Born in Montréal, Lortie made his debut with the Montréal Symphony at age 13 and the Toronto Symphony three years later. He studied in Montréal with Yvonne Hubert (a pupil of French pianist Alfred Cortot), in Vienna with the Beethoven specialist Dieter Weber, and with Leon Fleisher. He has lived in Berlin since 1997.

ow entering his second season with the Nashville Symphony, Giancarlo Guerrero continues to flourish as the orchestra’s music director. A fervent advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Guerrero has collaborated with and championed the works of several of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Michael Daugherty and Roberto Sierra. In the fall of 2009, Naxos released a recording of Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony performing works by Michael Daugherty. This coming season, Guerrero and the orchestra have two more recordings planned for release on Naxos, the first featuring the music of Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla and the second featuring American composer Joseph Schwantner. Photo by David Bailey During the 2010/11 season, Guerrero will travel to five continents to guest-conduct a wide array of repertoire. In North America, he conducts the Cleveland Orchestra during one of its Miami residency weeks, marking his fourth appearance with the orchestra in as many years. He also returns to the Kansas City Symphony for a second consecutive year. In South and Central America, he makes his Brazilian debut with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra in a two-week residency with concerts in both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. He now returns annually to Caracas, Venezuela, to conduct the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar and to work with young musicians in the country’s much-lauded El Sistema music education program. In addition, he will make a special appearance in his native Costa Rica to conduct the 70th anniversary gala concert of the Costa Rican National Orchestra. Guerrero appears for the first time in Asia conducting the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra in Kuala Lumpur, again with a twoweek residency. He returns to Australia for a re-engagement with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, which he conducted at the 2008 Adelaide Festival, coupled with a debut visit to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in Perth. In Europe he will make his debut with the Brussels Philharmonic. Last season, Guerrero made his Boston Symphony Orchestra debut at Tanglewood and returned to the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Mann Center. His European engagements included return appearances with Lisbon’s Gulbenkian Orchestra and his U.K. debut with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. In recent seasons he has appeared with many of the major North American orchestras, including the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, Seattle, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Houston, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, San Diego, Toronto, Vancouver and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. He has also appeared at several major summer festivals, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Festival, and Indiana University’s summer orchestra festival. Also in demand in Central and South America, Guerrero made his debut at the Casals Festival with Yo-Yo Ma and the Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra in 2005, which was followed by return engagements in 2006 and 2007. He recently conducted the Filarmónica de Buenos Aires in one of its first concerts in the newly refurbished Teatro Colón, where he first appeared with the orchestra in 2005. Equally at home with opera, Guerrero works regularly with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and in recent seasons has conducted new productions of Carmen, La bohème, and Rigoletto. In February 2008, he gave the Australian premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s one-act opera Ainadamar at the Adelaide Festival, to great acclaim. In June 2004, Guerrero was awarded the Helen M. Thompson Award by the American Symphony Orchestra League, which recognizes outstanding achievement among young conductors nationwide. He holds degrees from Baylor and Northwestern universities. He was most recently the music director of the Eugene Symphony. From 1999 to 2004, Guerrero served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra, where he made his subscription debut in March 2000 leading the world premiere of John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria on the Ghosts of Versailles. Prior to his tenure with the Minnesota Orchestra, he served as music director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela.

Coming Soon! THE RITE OF SPRING, November 4-6 at TPAC’s Andrew Jackson Hall Powerfully rhythmic, with a volatile pulse intended to conjure visions of a pagan rite, Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring prompted a riot when it was premiered at Paris’ Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. Notable for its many memorable orchestral effects, the piece still sounds just as revelatory today. The evening opens with Lacrimae Beati and Songs of Solitude, two pieces by contemporary American composer Richard Danielpour, whose music will be recorded for an upcoming CD. JEWEL, November 11-13 at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena One of the most beloved pop artists of the past two decades, singer-songwriter Jewel will survey her prolific career, from her phenomenal debut album Pieces of You to her latest collection Sweet and Wild, which reveals her full range as an artist. Backed by the Nashville Symphony, led by Resident Conductor Albert-George Schram, Jewel’s exquisite voice and honest, heartfelt songs will sound richer than ever.

BEETHOVEN & SCHUBERT, November 18-20 at War Memorial Auditorium Experience all the joys and sensations of country life when the Nashville Symphony performs Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony. Led by Music Director Giancarlo Guerrero, the orchestra will summon vivid images of rippling water, twittering birds, dancing peasants and a thunderstorm of fearsome proportions. Schubert’s rarely heard Little C Major Martina McBride Symphony offers moments of innocence, playfulness and unexpected drama, and completing the program is Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, a dreamy, atmospheric and downright sensuous work. MARTINA McBRIDE: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS, December 10 at Lipscomb University’s Allen Arena Country star Martina McBride joins Resident Conductor Albert-George Schram and the orchestra for a concert celebrating the holiday season. This evening of joyful music and treasured favorites will be the perfect opportunity to get in the holiday spirit!
