György Ligeti

Born 1923, Dicsőszentmárton, Transylvania, Hungary (now Târnăveni, Romania) Died 2006, Vienna, Austria

Concert Românesc (Romanian Concerto) (1951)

György Ligeti is perhaps not as familiar a name as the other composers on this evening’s program, but he left an indelible mark on contemporary music in the second half of the 20th century. His style continued to evolve throughout his career, and his compositions range from fairly tonal folk works that implement both actual folk tunes and Ligeti’s own impressions of folk music (like the Romanian Concerto), to twelve-tone compositions, to electronic music, to works employing his micropolyphony, to his later catalogue of works that are predominantly characterized by their incredible rhythmic complexity. The Romanian Concerto was written somewhat early in Ligeti’s career and follows a more traditional compositional process than Ligeti’s later works. It is more in line with the folk traditions of Bartók and Enescu rather than Ligeti’s later compositions which hold more in common with Anton Webern and Karlheinz Stockhausen. For his Romanian Concerto, Ligeti pulled from his exposure to Romanian folk music with two anecdotes from his childhood. Once he recalled as a young boy encountering a player of the alpine horn in the mountains. This experience plays out prominently in the third and end of the fourth movements. He also relays a story of a Romanian band wearing animal masks playing music in his courtyard. He described the music as wild and dissonant, and the band consisting of violins and bagpipes. Written in 1951 for an army orchestra, Ligeti was only able to hear one rehearsal of the piece, as the work had been censored before the army group for which it had been written even received the music. The one rehearsal was staged by the Hungarian Radio Orchestra, but no further rehearsals or performances were allowed for decades. The Romanian Concerto’s premiere finally

2013/14 Season

“Under Stalin’s dictatorship, even folk music was allowed only in a ‘politically correct’ form, in other words, if forced into a straitjacket of the norms of socialist realism.” — György Ligeti

took place some twenty years later in 1971 in the United States. Thor Johnson conducted the premiere on August 21, 1971, at the Peninsula Music Festival in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. While written in four movements, they are played continuously without pause. Ligeti would comment on his Romanian Concerto later in his career: In 1949, when I was twenty-six, I learned how to transcribe folk songs from wax cylinders at the Folklore Institute in Bucharest. Many of these melodies stuck in my memory and led in 1951 to the composition of my Romanian Concerto. However, not everything in it is genuinely Romanian as I also invented elements in the spirit of the village bands. I was later able to hear the piece at an orchestral rehearsal in Budapest—a public performance had been forbidden. Under Stalin’s dictatorship, even folk music was allowed only in a “politically correct” form, in other words, if forced into a straitjacket of the norms of socialist realism. … The peculiar way in which village bands harmonized their music, often full of dissonances and “against the grain,” was regarded as incorrect. In the fourth movement of my Romanian Concerto there is a passage in which an F-sharp is heard in the context of F major. This was reason enough for the apparatchiks [Communist Party] responsible for the arts to ban the entire piece. ●

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Born 1840, Votkinsk, Russia Died 1893, St. Petersburg, Russia

Variations on a Rococo Theme for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 33 (1876) Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme is a cello concerto in all but name. While the title would lead one to believe that the variations

are written from an existing Rococo theme, the theme is actually Tchaikovsky’s own take on the elegant Rococo movement of the 18th century. Written in 1876 for Tchaikovsky’s cello colleague at the Moscow Conservatory, Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, the concerto is quite demanding for the soloist, as are Tchaikovsky’s other forays into the concerto genre, those written for Piano and Violin. The work premiered in Moscow on November 30, 1877, with Nikolai Rubinstein conducting and Fitzenhagen as soloist. Fitzenhagen assisted Tchaikovsky in making the cello part idiomatic for his instrument; he then took it upon himself to “assist” the composer further, without Tchaikovsky’s knowledge. Tchaikovsky had fled to Switzerland after his marriage of only two-and-a-half months had imploded. While Tchaikovsky was recovering from this fiasco, Fitzenhagen made significant changes to the Rococo Variations. Tchaikovsky had indeed asked Fitzenhagen to review the work, but the cellist then took the composer’s request several steps further. Fitzenhagen eliminated Tchaikovsky’s brief string introduction, added repeats to the theme, reordered the variations, nixed Tchaikovsky’s eighth variation, and shortened the coda. Fitzenhagen then presented the adulterated version to Tchaikovsky’s publisher Jurgenson and claimed the version as authentic. Jurgenson brought this to Tchaikovsky’s attention, but the composer was consumed with the drama in his life and by that point was engrossed in other compositions, so he let the changes stand. About a decade later, Tchaikovsky was asked if he would like to reinstate his version, but he declined. In the 1950s Tchaikovsky’s original intent was restored and published, but most cellists still perform the Fitzenhagen version. ●

Felix Mendelssohn

Born 1809, Hamburg, Germany Died 1847, Leipzig, Germany

Symphony No. 4 in A Major, “Italian,” Op. 90 (1833)

“It will be the jolliest piece I have ever done, especially the last movement.” These were the words Mendelssohn wrote to his sister, Fanny, in February of 1831 about his “Italian” Symphony. Mendelssohn spent about a year and a half in Italy, touring Venice, Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Florence, Genoa, and Milan. By all accounts, it was the high point of the wealthy young man’s European “grand tour.” He so enjoyed his time in Italy that he had trouble concentrating on the task at hand, namely, his Third Symphony, the “Scottish.” He wrote, “The loveliest time of the year in Italy is the period from April 15 to May 15. Who then can blame me for not being able to return to the mists of Scotland?” He chose to cure his Scottish writer’s block by beginning sketches for his “Italian” Symphony. Mendelssohn completed the symphony in Berlin in 1833 and used it as a commission from the Philharmonic Society of London. He conducted the premiere on May 13, 1833, in London. Upon hearing the exuberant and “jolly” Fourth Symphony of Mendelssohn, it’s hard to imagine that the composer continually sought to revise it and was especially unhappy with the last movement. Mendelssohn held

The New Mexico Philharmonic

off on publishing the symphony until he could make his desired revisions. His untimely death at age thirty-eight prevented him from revising the work; it was performed only once in his lifetime and published posthumously as Op. 90, in 1851. There is some debate as to the authenticity of the Italian elements in Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony. Although the composer expressly stated in various correspondences that his intent was to merely capture his “personal impressions of the art, nature, and people of Italy,” scholars strive to assign labels to various elements in the work. The Allegro vivace opening movement is in 6/8 time and some refer to it as having the characteristics of the Italian dance the tarantella. This classification seems dubious as there is little in common with the tarantella other than the compound duple meter. Nevertheless, the symphony opens with one of Mendelssohn’s most famous themes, the horn-call inspired violin tune, which sings over the motoric repeated notes in the woodwinds. The Andante con moto is ripe with contrast to the first movement. The key is d minor and the movement’s solemnity was perhaps conceived from a religious procession Mendelssohn witnessed in Naples. The contrast of this movement with the others (as well as Mendelssohn’s juxtaposition of A Major versus A minor in the outer movements) represents Mendelssohn’s own words: He wrote, “… I am enjoying the most wonderful combination of gaiety and seriousness, such as can only be found in Italy.” The third movement, Con moto moderato, is in the traditional minuet and trio form. This movement was possibly inspired by the humorous poem, “Lilis Park,” by Mendelssohn’s friend Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The poem details an ornate formal garden and grand menagerie overseen by a lovely young woman. The fourth movement is widely agreed to be the most authentically Italian in Mendelssohn’s use of the Neapolitan dance the saltarello; although, some would argue it to be a tarantella disguising itself as a saltarello. ●

Requiem, Op. 48 I. Introit et Kyrie II. Offertoire III. Sanctus IV. Pie Jesu V. Agnus Dei VI. Libera me VII. In Paradisum

Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924)

choirmaster. The composer conducted the premiere performance as part of a funeral service for a wealthy parish member named Joseph La Soufaché. This original version only contained five movements (Introit and Kyrie, Sanctus, Pie Jesu, Agnus Die, and In Paradisum) and was written for a soprano soloist, small chorus, and orchestra. The orchestra consisted merely of solo violin for the Sanctus, violas, cellos, basses, harp, timpani, and organ. In 1889 Fauré wrote an Offertory to be added to the other movements, which would lead to the premiere of a new version in 1893. This new version included the previously mentioned Offertory and a Libera Me that had been composed as an independent work for baritone soloist and organ in 1877, which Fauré now added to his Requiem. In the 1893 version, the orchestra also got a little larger with the addition of bassoons, horns, and optional trumpets. Fauré’s publisher later asked the composer to orchestrate a version that would be worthy of not just

a church, but the concert hall as well, and in 1900 a third version was published for soprano and bass soloist, full choir, and full orchestra. There is some debate as to who did the orchestration of the added instruments in the 1900 version, and many critics complain that the additional instruments merely double other parts, thereby making their inclusion in the work pedestrian and uninspired. In a 1902 interview, Fauré spoke of his Requiem:

Gabriel Fauré

Born 1845, Pamiers, France Died 1924, Paris, France

Requiem, Op. 48 (1887–1890) “My Requiem was composed for nothing … for fun, if I may be permitted to say so!” Few composers throughout history have put such a positive spin as did Fauré on the composition of a Requiem Mass. Fauré’s work is considered a comparatively kinder, gentler version of the genre in contrast to those Requiems by Mozart, Brahms, Verdi, etc. As a church musician himself, Fauré shied away from the large-scale spectacle of the Germanic tradition and strived for a smaller and intimate setting of such works. Three different versions of Fauré’s Requiem led to the version used in modern performances. The first premiere took place in Paris on January 16, 1888, at La Madeleine church where Fauré was

It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death, and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience … As to my Requiem, perhaps I have also instinctively sought to escape from what is thought right and proper, after all the years of accompanying burial services on the organ! I know it all by heart. I wanted to write something different. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Tomaso Albinoni/ Remo Giazotto

Born 1671, Venice, Italy; Died 1751, Venice, Italy Born 1910, Rome, Italy; Died 1998, Pisa, Italy

Adagio in g minor (1958)

The Albinoni/Giazotto Adagio in g minor is among one of the most popular works of the Italian Baroque, and more than likely, not a product of the Italian Baroque at all. The story begins not in the 1700s, but in post-World War II 1945, when Italian musicologist and Albinoni biographer Remo Giazotto allegedly found a small musical fragment by Albinoni in the Saxon State Library in Dresden, Germany. Giazotto claimed that the fragment was a six-measure melody with figured bass and asserted that it was probably a portion of a sonata da chiesa, or church sonata, from Albinoni’s Op. 4, dated around 1708. This is where critical thinkers may start to doubt Giazotto’s story: no one else ever saw the fragment and it was then subsequently lost. Regardless, Giazotto then orchestrated the fragment, or composed it himself and attached Albinoni’s name, depending on what story you believe. The cynical among us may look at the situation and think Giazotto attached the name of a known compositional commodity so he could take advantage of the post-war interest in Baroque music. These same people would then point to the fact that Giazotto then copyrighted the composition and probably made a great deal of money off of Albinoni’s name. While the compositional process, timeline, and attribution are in doubt, the beauty, pathos, and sheer emotion that the work evokes cannot be denied. The work combines the stateliness and regality of the Baroque with the passion and spirit of the Romantic. ●

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born 1756, Salzburg, Austria Died 1791, Vienna, Austria

Ave verum corpus, K. 618 (1791) Mozart wrote the short motet Ave verum corpus less than six months before his own death in 1791. He had arranged a trip to

Hollywood’s account makes for a. good story; the facts, however, are slightly less dramatic. Baden, a spa just outside of Vienna, for his wife Constanze, who was pregnant with the couple’s sixth child. He wrote the forty-six measure work for Anton Stoll, the choirmaster at Baden, on June 16–17, 1791. The work likely premiered on the Feast of Corpus Christi, June 23, 1791, led by Stoll. This was the first sacred work Mozart had written since his Great Mass in c minor of 1783. Mozart scored the work for the simple combination of strings, organ, and SATB choir. The text is taken from the Eucharistic hymn of the Catholic liturgy and contains the following text: Hail, true body, born of the Virgin Mary, Truly suffered, sacrificed on the Cross for mankind, Whose pierced side flowed with water and blood, Be for us a foretaste in the trial of death. It is said that the Ave verum corpus foreshadows techniques that Mozart, just a few months later, would use in his unfinished Requiem Mass. ●

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Requiem, K. 626 (1791) Hollywood’s account of the events surrounding the composition of Mozart’s Requiem indeed make for a good story; the facts, however, are slightly less dramatic. While the commission of the work is somewhat mysterious, Antonio Salieri does in fact not devise an insidious murder plot, nor does he scheme to steal the Requiem and claim it as his own. The Requiem’s commission did contain a bit of a cloak and dagger element, but all is explained with great ease. In July of 1791, in the middle of writing the Magic Flute and soon to draw a commission for La clemenza di Tito, Mozart received an unsigned letter that sung the composer’s praises and stated that someone would pay him a visit to outline the letter writer’s proposal. The following day, “an unknown, gray stranger,” as Mozart would describe him, appeared and laid out the following proposal: write a Requiem for a mystery commissioner and do not try to investigate his identity. Mozart, certainly

in no financial situation to turn down a commission, told the stranger his fee, and was paid half upfront, with the rest to be paid upon completion. The stranger was none other than Anton Leitgeb, the valet for Count Franz von Walsegg-Stuppach. The Count’s wife had passed away the previous February and the Requiem was to be written in her honor. The Count was an avid music lover with an indecorous habit of claiming other composers’ works as his own. Mozart worked on all three commissions throughout the summer, finishing both operas in September. In October Mozart became very ill and remained in a weakened state until his death in December. Mozart had completed very little of the Requiem but had left enough in the way of sketches, that Constanze, in desperate need of the remainder of the commission fee, engaged Mozart’s friends and pupils to help finish the work. The majority of this responsibility fell to Mozart’s student Franz Xaver Süssmayer. Reports vary as to how much Mozart prepared his student for the task of finishing the work. Some claim Mozart gave very detailed accounts of how his work should continue; other reports just claim Süssmayer did what he needed to do to finish the work with little direction from the master. Süssmayer completed the orchestration and wrote the final movements, most likely using sketches left by Mozart. He then rewrote the entire Requiem in his own writing, preventing scholars from definitively identifying what was written by Mozart and what was written by his apprentice. The completed Requiem was presented to the Count, who fell back into bad habits and tried to pass the work off as his own. Perhaps this is where Hollywood got the idea of another duplicitously trying to claim credit for Mozart’s masterpiece. Constanze, realizing the importance of the public knowing the true composer of the Requiem, eventually persuaded the Count to admit the truth regarding the work’s compositional roots—a decade later. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Joshua Weilerstein

Lynn Harrell

Conductor

In July 2011, shortly after completing his graduate studies in conducting and violin at the New England Conservatory, the New York Philharmonic appointed Joshua Weilerstein as one of its two assistant conductors. Two years earlier, Mr. Weilerstein, then twenty-one years old, was named the unanimous winner of the 2009 Malko Competition for Young Conductors in Copenhagen. His first-prize honors included a series of engagements with major Scandinavian orchestras, the first of which was the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in June 2009, marking Joshua’s professional conducting debut. Since then, he has conducted the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, the Danish National Symphony, the Norrköping Symphony, the Malmö Symphony, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others. He also performed as a soloist with the Boston New Music Initiative and as a guest member of A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra. In the 2011/12 season he made debuts with the Toronto Symphony, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, the Oslo Philharmonic, the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie, the Finnish Radio Symphony, the Northern Sinfonia, and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra. He also returned to the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, the Danish National Symphony, and the Aspen Music Festival, conducting the Festival Orchestra. In 2012/13, Joshua had re-engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Toronto Symphony, the Copenhagen

Cello

Philharmonic, and the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and began his second year as Assistant Conductor of the New York Philharmonic. He also appeared with the BBC Symphony, the Brussels Philharmonic, the Winnipeg Symphony, the Vancouver Symphony, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra, the Florida Orchestra, and the St. Petersburg Academic Philharmonic. In the summers of 2009 and 2010, Joshua studied with David Zinman at the Aspen Music Festival, where he was awarded the Robert J. Harth Conductor Prize and the Aspen Conducting Prize. He received his dual Master of Music degrees in orchestral conducting with Hugh Wolff, and in violin with Lucy Chapman in 2011. In 2007 the Símon Bolívar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela (SBYO) engaged Mr. Weilerstein as a violin soloist. Shortly after this appearance, the SBYO asked him to join the first violin section for the orchestra’s 2007 American tour with Music Director Gustavo Dudamel, making Joshua the ensemble’s first non-Venezuelan guest member. And in January 2010 Joshua made his guest conducting debut with the SBYO. Currently living in New York, he also serves as concertmaster of Discovery Ensemble, a Boston-based chamber orchestra established by young musicians dedicated to bringing music to children through interactive workshops in schools and community concerts. ●

Lynn Harrell’s presence is felt throughout the musical world. A consummate soloist, chamber musician, recitalist, conductor, and teacher, his work throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia has placed him in the highest echelon of today’s performing artists. Mr. Harrell is a frequent guest of many leading orchestras including Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, and the National Symphony. In Europe he partners with the orchestras of London, Munich, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Tonhalle, and Israel. He has also toured extensively to Australia and New Zealand, as well as Asia (including Japan), Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. In the summer of 1999, Mr. Harrell was featured in a three-week “Lynn Harrell Cello Festival” with the Hong Kong Philharmonic. He regularly collaborates with such noted conductors as James Levine, Sir Neville Marriner, Kurt Masur, Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Sir Simon Rattle, Leonard Slatkin, Yuri Temirkanov, Michael Tilson Thomas, and David Zinman. Upcoming engagements include concerts with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Christoph Eschenbach, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Frühbeck de Burgos, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Leonard Slatkin, the Edmonton Symphony and William Eddins, and the symphonies of Taiwan and Singapore, both with Lan Shui. A European tour with the Gewandhaus Orchestra and Riccardo Chailly brings him to the cities of Leipzig, Paris, and Birmingham. continued on 10
