Program Notes .

Program Notes Gioachino Rossini/arr. Gryc Born 1792 Died 1868

Rossiniana The great Italian composer Gioachino Rossini retired from the life of the theater in 1829 after composing thirty-nine operas in nineteen years. He lived the latter part of his life in Paris where he presided over extravagant and exclusive musical and culinary soirées for which he composed many songs, piano pieces, and works for small ensembles. Rossini titled these later works Sins of Old Age, and the four movements of Rossiniana (three piano pieces and one song, the Tarantella Napoletana) are taken from this large collection of works. Most of the music from Rossini’s old age is light-hearted, even joking, yet it is as fully inventive and virtuosic as his theater music. Woodwind instruments, featured so often in the jolliest melodies of his operas, capture the humor and dash of music that reflects Rossini’s enormous zest for life. These arrangements for woodwind octet are a gift for musician and faithful friend Eric Rombach-Kendall.

Arthur Bird Born 1856 Died 1923

Serenade for Wind Instruments, Op. 40 Arthur Bird was born near Boston, Massachusetts, and was among a handful of the leading American composers of the late nineteenth century to gain notice in Europe and at home. The Serenade, Opus 40 was completed in 1898 and won the Paderewski

Prize in 1901 for the best chamber music work by an American composer. It received its American premiere in 1902 by the Longy Club of Boston and its European premiere in Berlin in 1908.

Composed for double wind quintet (pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, horns, and bassoons), the twenty-two-minute work is a fine example of turn-of-the-century classical music that reflected the optimistic and energetic American attitude a generation removed from the Civil War and Reconstruction Era. The Serenade is noted for buoyant and memorable melodies, clear orchestration, tonal harmony with occasional tinges of chromaticism, and a typical formal structure of four movements.

—Notes by Eric Rombach-Kendall ●

Johann Sebastian Bach Born 1685 Died 1750

Passacaglia and Fugue in c minor, BWV 582 It is unclear exactly when the great Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach composed the Passacaglia and Fugue in c minor, BWV 582. Originally for organ, it has been transcribed for numerous combinations of instruments including string quartet, brass quintet, brass choir, wind band, and symphony orchestra. Perhaps the best-known transcription was by Leopold Stokowski for the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1922.

The passacaglia was a common form in Baroque music, characterized as a continuous variation based on a repetitive bass (ostinato) in moderately slow triple meter with slow harmonic tempo changing generally with the measure. After Bach’s death in 1750, the passacaglia (and its twin

Woodwind instruments, featured so often in the jolliest melodies of his operas, capture the humor and dash of music that reflects Rossini’s enormous zest for life.

the chaconne) became almost obsolete until its reappearance in the final movement of Brahms’s Symphony No. 4.

The Passacaglia and Fugue in c minor is typical of the form described above.

Specifically, the theme of the Passacaglia is stated in the bass voice and is followed by 20 continuous variations. The first half of the ostinato then serves as the fugue’s main subject. This subject is stated 12 times, always accompanied by a countersubject, finally reaching a grand climax ending with the Picardy third on C Major.

Paul Terracini Born 1957

Concerto for Brass Paul Terracini is an Australian composer, conductor, and professional trumpet player.

His music has been performed by the Chicago Symphony Brass, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Brass, the Prague Symphony, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

The Concerto for Brass adheres to the typical concerto form of three movements in which the outer movements are fast and the inner movement slow. The first movement (Allegro barbaro) begins with an aggressive angular statement by the timpani followed by equally aggressive entrances by each section of the brass before settling down into a more lyrical section for brass alone. The timpani marks the return of the aggressive music to close out the movement.

The second movement is a setting of the Pange Lingua, a Medieval Latin chant written

by St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) for the Feast of Corpus Christi.

The final movement is the most virtuosic, with rapidly articulated passages and mixed meter alternating with lyrical sections.

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

Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467 (1785) Mozart wrote an astonishing 27 piano concerti in his lifetime. By comparison, Haydn wrote 11 (although the authenticity

Program Notes . of several of those is in doubt), Beethoven wrote five, and Brahms wrote two. Mozart of course wrote his piano concerti as vehicles for his performing career, so the more concerti he composed and performed, the more he got paid. The tale of Mozart’s financial problems throughout his life is much chronicled. But in 1785, when the Piano Concerto No. 21 in C Major was being composed, Mozart’s future looked bright. He had recently married, and in addition, Vienna was enjoying great economic prosperity, thereby affording many commissions and performances for the composer.

Mozart entered the Piano Concerto No. 21 into his catalog on March 9, 1785, and it premiered the following day with Mozart as soloist. As it happened, Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang’s father, was in town for the premiere. He had traveled to check up on the younger Mozart, as he did not approve of his recent marriage to Constanze, and as always, he was worried that his son was not being respected by the musical elite of Vienna. Leopold was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the number of Wolfgang’s performances and the frenetic performance schedule that Wolfgang was maintaining.

Leopold wrote to Wolfgang’s sister, Nannerl, and said that the premiere of the C Major Piano Concerto had been a success and that it was well received by the audience. In true stage father fashion, Leopold’s letter seemed more interested in the fee that Mozart received rather than the actual music.

Much has been written about Mozart’s piano concerti being operatic and symphonic in nature, and No. 21 is no exception. The first movement opens with a long march-like orchestral introduction. The piano, almost

apologetically, enters without much fanfare and does not pick up any of the already introduced themes. But once its entrance is established, there is no longer any question that the piano is at the helm throughout the rest of the movement. The extended cadenza at the end of the movement is a showstopping moment for the soloist. The second movement is a series of impossibly long and beautiful phrases over a disquieting constant triplet figuration. This movement was brought to the fore of pop culture when it was used in the 1967 Ingmar Bergman film Elvira Madigan. Ever since, this movement has been among the most famous tunes in classical music. The third movement leaves the scope and seriousness of the first two movements behind. It is a jaunty number in sonata form filled with charm, wit, and fun for both the soloist and the orchestra.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Requiem in d minor, 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 slightly 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.

There is no argument that the Requiem’s commission did contain a bit of a cloak-anddagger element to it, but all is explained with great ease. In July of 1791, in the middle of writing The Magic Flute and soon

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.

The New Mexico Philharmonic

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. He 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 person duplicitously trying to claim credit for Mozart’s masterpiece.

Constanze, realizing the importance that the public know the true composer of the Requiem, eventually persuaded the Count to admit the truth regarding the work’s compositional roots—a decade later.
