Welcome .
Dear Valued Member of the New Mexico Philharmonic Family, You are in for a treat as another great event with your orchestra is about to begin. In this note, I would like to let you know how we are able to bring you concerts of the highest caliber, as well as how we are able to attract national and international star soloists and conductors. It all starts with the people you see on stage every time you come to hear one of our concerts. The musicians of our orchestra are not just any musicians. They are themselves star artists who worked at perfecting their musical skills since very early in their lives by practicing several hours every day and by sacrificing some of the fun play times all children cherish. They continue their musical education by studying privately, joining various school musical groups, and later by going to college. After college comes the hard part, getting a job. The way they get into the New Mexico Philharmonic is by taking an international audition in an anonymous way by playing in front of an audition committee formed by members of the orchestra. There is a screen that protects everyone’s anonymity. Usually, the orchestra has one or two positions at the time which are wanted by many. The auditions have usually two or three rounds. The preliminary round is where everyone that was invited to the audition performs. A few are selected and invited to play in the semi-final round, and at the end of that, the very best are invited to perform in the final round. Sometimes we even have to hold a “super final,” especially if the two or three finalists are such high caliber players that it is difficult for the committee to decide to whom to give the job. I am very excited to let you know that we have several new star members who joined the New Mexico Philharmonic. We will try to feature each one of them throughout the season in the Meet the Musicians section of the program book. This year’s new hires are: Ruxandra Simionescu-Marquardt, Assistant Concertmaster; Michael Shu and Ting Ting Yen, Second Violins; Sigrid Karlstrom, Viola; Jiyoun Hur, Associate Principal Flute; Amanda Talley, Second Oboe; Peter Erb, Principal Horn; Sheryl Hadeka, Second Horn; and Dana Sherman, Third Horn. Through the same process, we were also able to fill temporary vacancies as follows: Alexander Onieal, Principal Bassoon (one-year position); Kim Fredenburgh, Principal Viola (one-year position); and Allegra Askew, Assistant Principal Viola (one-year position). Welcome to our New Mexico Philharmonic family! Thank you very much for taking the time to read this note. Enjoy the concert!

Program Notes Lori Newman
Zoltán Kodály
Born 1882 Kecskemét, Hungary Died 1967, Budapest, Hungary
Dances of Galánta (1933) Zoltán Kodály was a Hungarian composer, pedagogue, and ethnomusicologist who is perhaps most famous for his approach to music education, known as the Kodály method. The Dances of Galánta were written on a commission for the 80th anniversary of the Budapest Philharmonic Society. Kodály wrote the following in the score’s preface: “The author [composer] spent the most beautiful seven years of his childhood in Galánta. The town band, led by the fiddler Mihók, was famous. But it must have been even more famous a hundred years earlier. Several volumes of Hungarian dances were published in Vienna around the year 1800. One of them lists its source this way: ‘From several Gypsies in Galánta.’ … May this modest composition serve to continue the old tradition.” Most of Kodály’s compositions were inspired by folk traditions that he discovered on his ethnomusicological visits into the remote Hungarian countryside, but the Dances of Galánta differ in that they use actual folk melodies as their source material. The dances are written in the style of the verbunkos (from the German, Werbung), which translates as “recruitment.” Recruiters for the Austrian army would tour with musicians and dancers to make recruitment more appealing. Eventually, the verbunkos became the main type of instrumental music in 19th century Hungary. ●
Édouard Lalo
Born 1823, Lille, France Died 1892, Paris, France
Symphonie espagnole for Violin and Orchestra in d minor, Op. 21 (1874) Lalo’s Violin Concerto, Op. 20 and his Symphonie espagnole were the first compositional successes in an otherwise unremarkable composition career. Édouard Lalo was fifty years old before the violinist
Pablo de Sarasate would put him and his music on the map. Sarasate gave stunning performances of the Violin Concerto and the Symphonie espagnole, the latter premiering in Paris on February 7, 1875. Although the title translates to “Spanish Symphony,” Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole is a violin concerto in everything but name. Lalo spoke of his conception of the work, “It conveyed my thought—a violin soaring above the rigid form of an old symphony.” Lalo uses Spanish influences in everything from rhythm, harmony, melody, and orchestration. The great Russian composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky said of Lalo and his Symphonie espagnole: “The work has given me great enjoyment. It is so fresh and light, and contains piquant rhythms and melodies which are beautifully harmonized. … Lalo is careful to avoid all that is routinier, seeks new forms without trying to be profound, and is more concerned with musical beauty than with traditions.” The first movement is written in sonata form, and opens with an ominous tune in the minor mode characterized by large leaps. The foreboding of the first theme eventually dissipates into the lyrical and tender second theme, presented in a major tonality. The second movement is a three-part scherzo with a bouncy and lilting accompaniment juxtaposed against the lyrical melody in the violin. The third movement plays with the Spanish rhythm of alternating groups of twos and threes. The fourth movement is the equivalent of a slow symphonic movement, and is filled with haunting melodies. The last movement is a jaunty rondo with plenty of technical fireworks for the soloist. ●
Johannes Brahms
Born 1833, Hamburg, Germany Died 1897, Vienna, Austria
Symphony No. 1 in c minor, Op. 68 (1855–1876) It is hard to imagine that the world was almost deprived of the four musical gems that are the Brahms symphonies. Brahms was a very successful composer in his lifetime,
“It conveyed my thought —a violin soaring above the rigid form of an old symphony.” —Édouard Lalo
but avoided writing a symphony for decades. Why the hesitation? Brahms was acutely aware of the Germanic tradition, and after Robert Schumann proclaimed him the “savior of German music,” Brahms felt the burden of upholding a tradition that included names like Bach and Beethoven. He maintained that Beethoven had elevated the symphonic genre to a stratum that was inconceivable to succeed. “You cannot imagine what it is like to hear the footsteps of such a giant behind you,” he famously stated. Brahms’s torment is acutely obvious when studying the timeline of his first symphony: it was twentyone years between initial sketches and the finished product. The first symphony’s unfortunate moniker of “Beethoven’s Tenth” (dubbed by the conductor Hans von Bülow) was thankfully not enough to dissuade Brahms from future symphonic endeavors. After the success of his Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a in 1873, Brahms began to consider the possibility of finishing his symphony. He spent the next two years, writing, rewriting, editing, and revising his First Symphony. The work was finally premiered on November 4, 1876, in Karlsruhe, Germany, with Felix Otto Dessoff conducting. The initial reviews were fairly tepid, but the symphony gained popularity with each performance, and today is among the most performed in concert halls throughout the world. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Artists . Gary van Zals
New Mexico Philharmonic’s Featured Painter of the Season As a special fundraising concept celebrating its second season, the New Mexico Philharmonic invited Albuquerque’s wellknown artist, Gary van Zals, to create an original oil painting for the Philharmonic. Soloists and conductors performing that season have signed one of Gary’s preliminary pencil drawings for that painting; and, together, those pieces will be offered at silent auction throughout the current New Mexico Philharmonic season. In addition, an exhibition and sale of paintings by van Zals to further benefit the New Mexico Philharmonic will take place at the end of the season. Anyone bidding during the auction will gain free admission to that event. Meanwhile, posters of Gary’s Philharmonic painting will be available for sale at all New Mexico Philharmonic concerts. And just who is this Gary van Zals? Albuquerque concertgoers would be likely to recognize him as a viola player named Gary Logsdon. And yet many art collectors who own works by Gary van Zals have never heard of Gary Logsdon. The fact is, Gary has been leading a double life.
In his early years he studied with Bettina Steinke, Wilson Hurley, Clyde Aspevig and David Leffel—four redoubtable members of NAWA, the National Academy of Western Art. Working with fundamental concepts he had gained from those diverse masters, Gary won nine consecutive awards at the New Mexico State Fair, in fine arts exhibitions that were judged by such artists as Steve Hanks, Morris Rippel and Robert Daughters. That series of recognitions rose to a high point when another NAWA academician, James Kramer, awarded him Best of Show for a grandiose portrait of Albuquerque’s dynamic benefactress of music and art, Susan Stern. In the wake of his flourishing reputation as an artist, Gary Logsdon adopted the surname of his grandmother, Hannah van Zals, in tribute to the remarkable woman she was, the Dutch heritage she proudly maintained, and the subtle way those factors began to influence his artistic development. The painting Gary created for the New Mexico Philharmonic speaks eloquently for itself, but to satisfy any curiosity about its subject matter, the artist has this to say:
“My painting, Reaching the Pinnacle, is not meant to represent any particular place other than the ubiquitous grandeur that can be found in the mountains of New Mexico. Knowing that the sublime words “New Mexico Philharmonic” would appear on my canvas, I tried to intone that feeling in a way that might be in tandem with another kind of grandeur—symphonic music. The monolith emerging through clouds expresses my optimism that the New Mexico Philharmonic has the potential of Reaching the Pinnacle among performing arts organizations in the southwest.” ●

Meet the Musicians Sigrid Karlstrom viola
One year ago, twenty-five-year-old violinist Sigrid Karlstrom gave her debut performance on the viola, in a group of student violists under the age of ten. Since then, she has passionately studied, practiced, and played the viola, becoming the newest member of the New Mexico Philharmonic viola section in March, and playing this year with Sunday Chatter, Opera Southwest, and the Figueroa Project. Sigrid graduated in the spring of 2012 with a Master’s degree in violin performance from the University of Oregon, where she studied with Fritz Gearhart. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in viola performance and Suzuki pedagogy at the University of New Mexico, studying with Kim Fredenburgh. ●

Program Notes Lori Newman
Johann Sebastian Bach Born 1685, Eisenach, Germany Died 1750, Leipzig, Germany
Orchestral Suite No. 2 in b minor, BWV 1067 (1738–39) Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major, BWV 1068 (1731) The term “suite” has many meanings and purposes in classical music, mainly dependent upon the period in which the suite was written. Its meaning in relation to the Bach Orchestral Suites Nos. 1–4, BWV 1066–1069 is quite specific. These works fall under the category of “overture-suites,” a genre particularly popular by German composers such as Telemann, Handel, and J.S. Bach. This form is derived from the 17th century French “classical-suite” made popular by Johann Jakob Frohberger. The classical suite consisted of the dance movements allemande, courante, sarabande and gigue, in that order, all unified by a central key. As the form developed other dance movements were used in addition, or in substitution, of the central dance movements. These included the minuet, bourrée, gavotte, rondeau, polonaise, and passepied. This, coupled with the addition of an overture, or sometimes a prelude, became the orchestral overturesuites of Bach’s time. The four orchestral suites of Bach were most likely written between 1725–1739, with the second suite written between 1738–1739, although most scholars agree the date is an approximation. The orchestral suite is a form which is much lighter than most of Bach’s music, not bearing the weight of his sacred works or the fugal nature of much of his works for keyboard. Bach did not care for this type of music, considering it frivolous; however, it was good for business. These were versatile pieces that could be played
for various functions and that also satisfied the European royalty’s appetite for French affectation within the confines of German culture. The second suite is Bach’s most important work for flute and orchestra. It is uncertain who the flutist that premiered the work was, but it is presumed to be Pierre-Gabriel Buffardin, the principal flutist of the Dresden Court Orchestra. Bach’s treatment of the flutist as soloist vacillates between simply adding color by doubling the first violins, to flashes of bravura as demonstrated in the Badinerie.
Bach’s most important work for flute and orchestra. There is some doubt as to whether the solo part was originally written for the flute. Although the original manuscript has been lost, most scholars agree that the suite was initially written in a minor, then transposed to b minor. This is problematic because a minor would make the solo line out of the range of the flute. It was then presumed that perhaps the solo line was written either for violin or oboe and that the flute was chosen merely for commercial reasons as its popularity as a solo instrument grew. However, the key of a minor is somewhat awkward on the violin, and while this key is comfortable for the oboe, it is unclear if the period oboes of the time could handle the technical demands of the solo line.
Perhaps the most famous of Bach’s melodies, the “Air on the G String,” is included in the third suite. It is important to note that the title is not Bach’s, but rather that of August Wilhelmj’s arrangement of the movement for violin and piano. Wilhelmj transposed the work from D Major to C Major, shifted it down an octave, and was then able to play the entire melody on one string—the G string. ●
Johann Sebastian Bach
Violin Concerto in a minor, BWV 1041 (c. 1723–1730) Violin Concerto in E Major, BWV 1042 (c. 1723–1730)
It is unknown whether Bach’s two violin concertos were written during his time working for Prince Leopold of AnhaltCöthen (1717–1723) or in 1730, when he was director of the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig. There is a compelling case for either of these to have been the location where the concertos were written. In Cöthen, Bach wrote a number of instrumental works, including the Brandenburg Concertos. This was his first post where he was at liberty to compose a number of secular works and had access to a world-class ensemble to perform them. The Collegium Musicum was a mixed ensemble of professional and amateur musicians that performed weekly, and Bach often composed works, or reworked previous works, to be performed in their concerts. Bach’s Violin Concertos are written in the Italian style of Vivaldi, each containing three movements in the fast-slow-fast tempo arrangement. Vivaldi is also called to mind in Bach’s use of the ritornello form, and the way the violin’s role sounds more part of the orchestra, rather than the soloist and orchestra portrayed as opposing forces. ●

Hugh Panaro has been described as “the leader of Broadway’s dwindling supply of great leading men.” Born in Philadelphia, Hugh’s love of animals interested him in a career in veterinary medicine. However, after seeing his first Broadway show, Hugh immediately fell in love with theatre. His first role, Friedrich, in a regional production of The Sound of Music, came when he was twelve. After an off-Broadway run in LaChiusa’s Little Fish, Hugh returned to play The Phantom in 2003. One of the most popular actors to fill the role, he remained with the show until October 2005, leaving to play the seductive, conflicted vampire Lestat in the Elton John musical based on Anne Rice’s successful novels. In 2008, he starred as Jean Valjean in the Walnut Street Theatre’s outstanding production of Les Miserables, a role which earned him praise from audiences and reviewers alike, as well as the Barrymore award. The following spring, he played the title role in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of Sunday in The Park With George. He then starred in Oliver!, again at The Walnut in his native Philly, and also maintained an active concert schedule performing with symphonies around the world. On September 7, 2010, Hugh returned to Broadway’s Majestic Theatre to again play the iconic Phantom, a role he continues to play at present. ●
