WISE GIVING There are many ways to support the New Mexico Philharmonic and the New Mexico Philharmonic Foundation. We thank our members, donors, volunteers, sponsors, and advertisers for their loyalty and enthusiasm and their help in ensuring the future of symphonic music in New Mexico for years to come. LOOKING TO MAKE SMART DONATIONS? Based on presentations by professional financial advisors, here are some strategies for giving wisely, following recent changes in the tax law. The advisors identified five strategies that make great sense. Here they are in brief: GIVE CASH: Whether you itemize deductions or not, it still works well. GIVE APPRECIATED ASSETS: This helps you avoid capital gains taxes, will give you a potentially more significant deduction if you itemize, and can reduce concentrated positions in a single company. BUNCH GIVING: Give double your normal amount every other year to maximize deductions. QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION/REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION: If you are required to take an IRA distribution, don’t need the cash, and don’t want the increased taxes, have the distribution sent directly to a qualified charity. HIGH-INCOME YEARS: If you are going to have high-income years (for any number of reasons), accelerate your deductions, avoid capital gains, and spread out gifts through a Donor-Advised Fund. BE PROACTIVE: Consult your own financial advisor to help you implement any of these. Please consider applying one or more of these strategies for your extra giving to the NMPhil.

WELCOME LETTER FROM THE

MUSIC DIRECTOR Our season is now in full swing, and we kicked it off wonderfully with the Tchaikovsky Festival and great soloists such as Olga Kern, Sylvia Thereza, the winners of the Olga Kern International Piano Competition, and Richard Scofano. I hope you were able to attend all or most of these concerts and that you, just like me, had a memorable experience with your NMPhil. As we enter the holiday season, I would like to wish all of you Happy Holidays, and I look forward to seeing you in the concert hall as we close out 2022. It is always such a pleasure to lead the orchestra for you, and every musician feels the same joy playing for you. Have a great evening!

He has since conducted more than 100 orchestras worldwide, including the New York, Los Angeles, Israel, London, Tokyo, Oslo, and Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestras; the London, San Francisco, Dallas, and Atlanta Symphony Orchestras; and the National Radio (France), Philadelphia, and Cleveland Orchestras, among many others. In March 2006, he led the London Philharmonic Orchestra’s U.S. tour, winning accolades for his leadership of the orchestra in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Until 2010, Minczuk held the post of Music Director and Artistic Director of the Opera and Orchestra of the Theatro Municipal Rio de Janeiro, and, until 2005, he served as Principal Guest Conductor of the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra, where he previously held the position of Co-Artistic Director. Other previous posts include Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Ribeirão Preto Symphony, Principal Conductor of the Brasília University Symphony, and a six-year tenure as Artistic Director of the Campos do Jordão International Winter Festival. Minczuk’s recording of the complete Bachianas Brasileiras of Hector VillaLobos with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (BIS label) won the Gramophone Award of Excellence in 2012 for best recording of this repertoire. His other recordings include Danzas Brasileiras, which features rare works by Brazilian composers of the 20th century, and the Complete Symphonic Works of Antonio Carlos Jobim, which won a Latin GRAMMY in 2004 and was nominated for an American GRAMMY in 2006. His three recordings with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra include Rhapsody in Blue: The Best of George Gershwin and Beethoven Symphonies 1, 3, 5, and 8.

In 2002, he worked as an assistant to the late Valery Vatchev of the National Bulgarian Opera. This rare experience led to guest conducting engagements of Verdi’s La traviata, Il trovatore, and Rigoletto in the Czech Republic. While Altieri enjoys a busy career working with professional performing organizations, he is also a fierce advocate for young musicians and music education. This is evidenced by his position as director of orchestras at the University of Nevada, Reno, and the directorship of the Reno Philharmonic Youth Symphony. Under his leadership, the Reno Philharmonic Youth Symphony has become an increasingly visible component in Reno’s cultural life, and has embarked on performance tours that have included guest appearances at Carnegie and Disney halls. As a result of his tireless work with young musicians, Altieri was invited to conduct at Nevada’s Small School All-State Festival in April 2017. His educational outreach has extended nationally as well as through numerous clinics with young ensembles all over the country in addition to faculty appointments at the Interlochen Center for the Arts and the Sewanee Summer Music Center. A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Altieri grew up in a musical family with both parents being former members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He received a Bachelor’s degree in music education from the University of Georgia. He then went on to pursue advanced degrees in conducting from Michigan State University, where he received additional mentorship from Neeme Järvi of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Gustav Meier of the Peabody Conservatory. Altieri currently resides in Reno, Nevada. ●

An Eastman School of Music graduate, Jamie has performed in the Eastman Wind Ensemble and the Eastman Philharmonia Orchestra, as well as in the Eastman Women’s Chorus. Throughout the many years as both a performing artist and an educator of all ages, she has prided herself on helping children embrace music through play-

based curriculum, movement, drama, and creativity. Jamie is a proud military wife and mother of two budding musicians. Manzano Day School is an independent prekindergarten through fifth grade elementary school near Old Town in Albuquerque. Manzano moved to its present location in 1942, having previously held classes in the historic Huning Castle starting in 1938.

During that time, the Richmond Symphony performed a significantly wider repertoire representative of our global community, embracing music by living composers, with particular focus on cultural and gender diversity and commissioning new works. During his tenure, the RSO weathered and recovered from the recession, had its budget climb more than 30 percent, posted steadily increasing ticket sales (with the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons setting records of more than $1 million in sales), and accomplished the first expansion of the core orchestra in more than 20 years.

Program Notes CHARLES GREENWELL

George Frideric Handel Born February 23, 1685, in Halle, Germany Died April 14, 1759, in London, England

Messiah (1741) Scored for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets, timpani, continuo, strings, SATB soloists, and chorus. Approximately 120 minutes.

The oratorio, one of the great Baroque vocal forms, came from the religious playwith-music of the Counter-Reformation and took its name from the Italian word for a place of worship. The first oratorios were actually sacred operas, and were produced as such. Then, around the middle of the 17th century, the oratorio gradually did away with theatrical trappings and developed its own personality as a large-scale work for solo voices, chorus, and orchestra, usually— but not always—based on a biblical story. These new productions were usually performed in a church or hall without scenery, costumes, or acting, and what action there was developed with the use of a narrator and a series of recitatives, arias, duets, trios, and choruses, with the role of the chorus being quite prominent. Typical of this form are the oratorios of Handel, probably the finest composer of this popular vocal form. Handel came from the middle class and went on to make his career in England, where the middle class first achieved its strength. As he turned from standard opera to oratorio, he became part of an enormous social change, and in so doing, became one of the founders of a new culture and a creator of our modern mass public. He had very keen instincts and was able to understand the needs of his adopted country, and he produced oratorios that were steeped in the settings of the Old Testament, making them perfectly suited to the tastes of England’s middle class. He achieved this in part by making the chorus—in other words, the people—the center of the drama. Like Bach and other great Baroque masters, Handel’s rhythms were strong and unswerving, and he favored the direct

“Messiah […] was allowed by the greatest Judges to be the finest Composition of Musick that was ever heard ...” —Dublin Journal language of diatonic harmony as opposed to Bach’s more ingenious idiom, which at times became highly chromatic. Handel’s melodies unfold in great majestic arches and reveal a depth of feeling that sets him apart from most of his contemporaries. Having grown up in the theatrical world, he was able to make use of tone color for a variety of moods and dramatic expression. Handel first came to England when he was 25, and already celebrated throughout Europe as an outstanding composer of Italian-style opera. His main reason for going to England was to repeat his successes as an opera composer, and he was able to achieve this—for a time. After 25 years of triumphs in this realm, two forces did him in: the inevitable changes in public taste and the rivalries and jealousies that have always been a part of theatrical life. As a result, his final season of opera in London in 1741 was such a disaster that he began to think seriously about returning to Germany. Fate intervened, however, when Charles Jennens, his English literary collaborator, seriously worried about losing this supremely gifted composer, gave Handel the libretto of a new oratorio called simply Messiah. Jennens hoped it would inspire the man to new heights, and specifically designed the work to be presented during Holy Week, when theaters would be closed, thus assuring a full house for some kind of benefit performance. Jennens was correct: Handel thought the new libretto was inspired and could be used as part of a new venture that had come his way. He had recently been invited to Dublin to give a series of oratorio concerts and realized immediately that Messiah, performed as a benefit concert for charity, would be the perfect way to conclude the season.

Handel began work on the new score in late August 1741, and in a phenomenal burst of virtually nonstop energy, finished the entire score, orchestration and all, in the amazing space of just 24 days! He set out for Ireland in early November and arrived in Dublin on November 18. The trip across the water proved to be a revitalizing experience, and in spite of the hard work that the new oratorio season would require, it was almost like a holiday, away from the financial, artistic, and personal problems that he had been dealing with in London. In addition, when he came to Dublin, he was greeted with the kind of adulation that had greeted his arrival in London some 30 years previously, and once again he was idolized, fussed over, feted wherever he went, and in general, treated like some kind of royalty. The music-loving people of Ireland had in Dublin several musical societies that were unusual in that they were all organized for charitable purposes. This was largely due to the terrible social conditions in the country, compared with the poor people of London and the inmates of its prisons and hospitals who were relatively well off. The citizens of Dublin, appalled by the miserable conditions in their prisons and hospitals, wanted to do everything they could to alleviate this wretched state of affairs, and so they raised money for humanitarian purposes by sponsoring public concerts. There was then a new Music Hall in the city that was built on order from the Charitable Music Society and their guiding light, a wealthy and influential music publisher named William Neale. He was also the secretary of Dublin’s Charities Commission, and he not only had a commanding position in continued on 18

all that was to follow, but in all likelihood had a hand in the invitation that brought Handel to Dublin and resulted in the production of Messiah. On March 27, 1742, the Dublin Journal printed an announcement for a new benefit concert, stating that it would take place at the Music Hall on April 12, at which time would be performed “… Mr. Handel’s new Grand Oratorio, called Messiah, in which the Gentlemen of the Choirs of both Cathedrals will assist, with some concertos on the Organ by Mr. Handel.” As it turned out, the concert did not take place until April 13, but there was a public rehearsal on April 9, about which the Journal had written: “Yesterday Mr. Handel’s new Grand Sacred Oratorio called Messiah was rehearsed … and was performed so well that it gave universal satisfaction to all present; and was allowed by the greatest Judges to be the finest Composition of Musick that was ever heard ...” In that article and again on the day of the performance there were requests to the audience that ladies come without hoops in their dresses and that gentlemen come without their swords, so that the greatest number of people could be squeezed into the hall. At the formal premiere, this resulted in an audience of 700 pressed into a space designed to hold 600, but nobody seems to have been upset in the slightest. The premiere was an unqualified triumph, and the press notices outdid themselves in praising the work and its performance, with particular praise being given to the fact that everyone performed gratis, thereby helping to raise over 400 pounds for the advertised charities. Because of its great success, Handel was asked to repeat the work at his last Dublin concert, and so began the career of one of the most popular, beloved, and frequently performed works in the whole history of music. Messiah was given its first performance in London in March of 1743, but it was not at all the great success it had been in Dublin. It is possible that Handel anticipated certain objections to the work, as he advertised it as “a New Sacred Oratorio” without mentioning its title, but he was certainly unprepared for the

“My Lord, I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wished to make them better.” —George Frideric Handel hostility it received in some quarters. There were many who were greatly upset that the Scriptures formed the basis for what was presented as secular entertainment and were very vocal in objecting to its having been presented in a theatre with several famous singers as soloists. Even librettist Jennens, after hearing the work for the first time, said that he was dissatisfied with what he called “some weak parts” in the score. As a result of this, Messiah was rarely performed in London in the mid–1740s, while at the same time it was being performed regularly in Dublin. In 1749, things made a dramatic turnaround, and once again the prime force was a connection with charity. Handel had always been known as a kind and generous man, and at the time he had become interested in the recently created Foundling Hospital for young orphans and children in dire need. In May of 1749, he proposed a concert for the hospital’s benefit, and ultimately was appointed a governor of the establishment. On May 27, the concert was given in the newly built chapel, and it was a great success. The hospital received a considerable sum of money from the concert, and that sum was further increased by a very generous gift from the King. The following year, Handel put together a new season of oratorio, and Messiah played a prominent role. It was given at the Foundling Hospital on May 1, 1750, and the chapel was so packed with eager listeners that the work had to be repeated on May 15. These were successes on the scale of the Dublin premiere, and marked the beginning of the oratorio’s great popularity in London and elsewhere. In the years to come, Handel made it a tradition to include Messiah in his oratorio seasons during Lent, and also performed

it every year at the Foundling Hospital. (Incidentally, although the Foundation still exists and thrives in London, the chapel in which Handel played, and to which he left a score and parts to Messiah in his will in order that the performances might continue, was declared unsafe and demolished in 1926. It was the last remaining building in London in which he had promoted concerts.) He continued to conduct performances of Messiah right up until his death, and in fact in March of 1759 gave three performances at Covent Garden. The annual Foundling Hospital performance was scheduled for May 3, but before the rehearsals could begin Handel was taken seriously ill. After a week of steady deterioration, he finally succumbed on April 14, 1759—the day after Good Friday. He had asked to be given a private burial in Westminster Abbey, but because he was so famous and beloved a figure, he was accorded a very public ceremony on the occasion of his internment on April 20. Of all the memorial statues in the Abbey, his is one of the most striking and memorable: In his right hand is a sheet of music containing the opening bars of the great aria from Messiah, “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” After the first London performance, Handel said to a friend, “My Lord, I should be sorry if I only entertained them. I wished to make them better.” He clearly intended the oratorio to mean something special to his audiences because it meant something special to him. At a Messiah performance in 1759 on the occasion of his 74th birthday, Handel responded to the very enthusiastic applause by saying, “Not from me—but from Heaven—comes all.” ●

THANK YOU .

Steinway Society

Piano Fund

Members

Steinway Society members make dedicated donations for current and future purchases and maintenance of our Steinway & Sons Grand Piano Model D. Since the New Mexico Philharmonic’s birth in 2011, we have had to rely on rented pianos. They have been inconsistent and at the end of the 2018/19 season, it was clear that the NMPhil needed a new, reliable piano to feature great pianists. We were finally able to fulfill this dream when we received a very generous low-interest loan to purchase the piano. Thanks to donations from Steinway Society members, the NMPhil is making great strides toward paying off this loan. Please consider joining the Steinway Society at the donor level that is best for you and be part of your New Mexico Philharmonic by helping us to produce excellence through our music.
