New Mexico Philharmonic Foundation Inc. PO Box 16422 Albuquerque, NM 87191
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 highincome 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.

NOTES BY DAVID B. LEVY
Giacomo Puccini Tosca
Italian master Giacomo (Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria) Puccini was born on December 22, 1858, in Lucca and died on November 29, 1924, in Brussels, Belgium. Cherished by opera lovers throughout the world for his numerous masterpieces, most notably La bohème, Tosca, Il trittico, Madama Butterfly, and Turandot, Puccini also composed songs for voice and piano, sacred music, as well as instrumental works. Tosca, his opera in three acts set to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, was premiered at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome on January 14, 1900. The background for the opera, which is based on Victorien Sardou’s 1887 play, La Tosca, takes place in Rome in during June 17–18, 1800, as the Kingdom of Naples’s control of Rome is threatened by Napoleon’s invasion of Italy. Its plot, however, centers on the title character, the operatic diva, Floria Tosca, her love for the painter and revolutionary fugitive Mario Cavarodossi, and the lascivious designs of the evil chief of police Baron Scarpia.
Puccini’s highly melodramatic opera Tosca remains one of the most frequently performed and popular operas of all time. Its composer’s style represents both a continuation and updating of the Italian grand operatic tradition, bringing to bear innovative developments in orchestration and harmonic vocabulary that augment the achievements of the early-nineteenthcentury bel canto ranging from Rossini to Verdi. The term “verismo” (realism) is often used to describe Puccini’s operas, and in a sense, Tosca may be viewed as a prime example of this trend. The specificity of place for each act of Tosca found realism brought to fruition in a 1992 television version of the opera that was filmed at the same locations prescribed by Puccini, at the precise times of day at which each act takes place, i.e., the interior of the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle, Scarpia’s apartment in the Palazzo Farnese, and the Castel Sant’Angelo.
Throughout his career, Puccini was ever in search of musical and other details that would lend touches of authenticity to his operas, and would doubtlessly have approved of using the actual venues called for in Tosca. But regardless of such matters, the heart of the opera is a drama of love, deceit, lust, murder, and, ultimately, tragic betrayal.
The synopsis of the opera is as follows (metopera.org/discover/synopses/tosca):
Rome, June 1800. The French revolutionary armies, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, are at war with the rest of Europe. Rome has briefly been a Republic under French protection but has now fallen to the Allied forces. Cesare Angelotti, former Republican Consul, has escaped from prison. He takes refuge in the Church of Sant’Andrea della Valle, where his sister, the Marchesa Attavanti, has hidden a key to her husband’s family chapel, where he hides. The artist Mario Cavaradossi returns to the church, where he is working on a fresco that depicts Mary Magdalene. He tells the shocked sacristan that the face of the Magdalene is that of the mysterious woman who has been praying near the chapel—in fact, Angelotti’s sister. Angelotti emerges once the sacristan has gone. He recognizes the painter and begs for his help. Cavaradossi’s lover, the singer Floria Tosca, calls from outside, and Angelotti hides again. The jealous Tosca suspects that Cavaradossi has been with another woman in the church, but he calms her fears. Turning to go, she spots his painting and immediately recognizes the Marchesa Attavanti. She accuses him of being unfaithful, but he again assures her of his love. When Tosca has left, a cannon signals that the police have discovered Angelotti’s escape, and he and Cavaradossi flee to the painter’s villa. The sacristan excitedly enters to tell the church choir that the Allies have won a great victory against the French at Marengo in northern Italy. As they celebrate, Baron Scarpia, chief of Rome’s secret police, arrives looking for Angelotti. His agents search the chapel, and he discovers the Marchesa Attavanti’s fan. Scarpia recognizes her in Cavaradossi’s portrait,
and when Tosca returns, he uses the fan to trick her into believing that Cavaradossi is unfaithful after all. She vows to have vengeance and leaves as the church fills with worshipers. Scarpia sends his men to follow her; he knows that she will lead them to Cavaradossi and Angelotti. While the congregation intones the “Te Deum,” Scarpia declares that he will bend Tosca to his will.
Dining that evening in his chambers at the Palazzo Farnese, Scarpia anticipates the pleasure of having Tosca in his power; the diva will be singing that night in the Palazzo at a royal gala to celebrate the Allied victory. The agent Spoletta has broken into Cavaradossi’s villa and found no trace of Angelotti, but he has arrested Cavaradossi and brought him to the Palazzo. Scarpia interrogates the defiant painter and sends for Tosca. When she arrives, Cavaradossi whispers an urgent plea for her to keep his secret before Scarpia’s agents lead him into another room. Scarpia begins to question Tosca. At first, she keeps her nerve, but when Scarpia tells her that Cavaradossi is being tortured in the next room, her courage fails her. Unable to bear Cavaradossi’s screams, Tosca reveals Angelotti’s hiding place. The agents bring in Cavaradossi, who is badly hurt and hardly conscious. Scarpia cruelly reveals her betrayal, and Cavaradossi angrily curses her. Suddenly, word arrives that the news from Marengo was false; Bonaparte has won the battle. Cavaradossi shouts out his defiance of tyranny, and Scarpia orders him to be executed. Once alone with Tosca, Scarpia calmly suggests that he would let Cavaradossi go free if she’d give herself to him. She refuses, but Scarpia becomes more insistent, trapping her with his power over Cavaradossi’s life. Despairing, she prays to God for help. Spoletta bursts in; rather than be captured, Angelotti has killed himself. Tosca, now forced to give in or lose her lover, agrees to Scarpia’s proposition. Scarpia orders Spoletta to prepare for a mock execution of Cavaradossi, after which he is to be freed. Tosca demands that Scarpia write her a passage of safe conduct. Once done, he embraces Tosca, but she seizes a knife
from the dining table and stabs him. Before fleeing with the safe-conduct pass, she performs funeral rites over Scarpia’s body.
At dawn, Cavaradossi awaits execution on the platform of Castel Sant’Angelo. He bribes the jailer to deliver a farewell letter to Tosca and then, overcome with emotion, gives in to his despair. Tosca appears and explains what has happened. The two imagine their future in freedom. As the execution squad arrives, Tosca implores Cavaradossi to fake his death convincingly, then watches from a distance. The soldiers fire and depart. When Cavaradossi doesn’t move, Tosca realizes that the execution was real and Scarpia has betrayed her. As Scarpia’s men rush in to arrest her, she cries out that she will meet Scarpia before God and leaps from the battlements.
As one would expect in Italian opera, Tosca is replete with beautiful arias. Most notable of these being Cavaradossi’s “Recondita armonia” and “Qual’occhio al mondo” from Act I, Tosca’s “Vissi d’arte” from Act II, and Cavaradossi’s “E lucevan le stelle” from Act III. But no less interesting are the intense dramatic musical strokes, such as the three fortissimo dramatic chords that open the opera and go on to serve as a leitmotiv representative of the villainous Baron Scarpia. Another highlight comes at the end of Act I, where Scarpia’s lust for Tosca—representing the world of the secular—is superimposed on the liturgical backdrop of the choral chanting of the “Te Deum” hymn. Those familiar with the James Bond film Quantum of Solace (2008), will recognize how the screen writers and director make effective use of a production of this scene (as well as other moments from the opera) that took place on the floating stage of the Opera House in Bregenz, Austria. In the film, Bond infiltrates a secret meeting of Quantum as they are furthering their sinister plot to seize Bolivia’s water supply. The parallels with the action of Tosca are clear to those familiar with the opera. ●
“It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.”
—Antonio Salieri, Amadeus
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born January 27, 1756, in Salzburg and died on December 5, 1791, in Vienna. The Serenade, popularly known as “Gran Partita,” was composed in 1781 or 1782, around the time of Mozart’s move from Salzburg to Vienna. The “K” number used for Mozart’s works refers to the name Ludwig Ritter von Köchel, who first issued the Chronological-Thematic Catalogue of the Complete Works of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart in 1862. The Köchel catalogue has been updated and revised many times to keep pace with musicological revelations. The Serenade No. 10 is scored for 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 basset horns, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, and contrabass (sometimes replaced by contrabassoon). Approximately 50 minutes.
Throughout his all-too-brief life, Mozart never considered it beneath his dignity to provide music for parties. The genre of composition known as the serenade, in fact, may be deemed among the earliest examples of background or “restaurant” music. This should be taken only in the sense that it was created to lend a festive atmosphere to an occasion, rather than to draw attention to itself as a piece intended for “serious” listening. As is the case with nearly everything he wrote, however, Mozart’s serenades make for rewarding and delightful attentive listening. Mozart’s skill and fondness for composing for wind instruments manifested itself in many forms. Among these, we may count solo concertos for oboe, flute (two, plus a concerto for flute and harp), horn (four), and bassoon, clarinet, as well as a
sinfonia concertante for winds (although of doubtful authenticity). In each case, we know that Mozart composed these works for friends and colleagues, such as the hornist Joseph Leutgeb and clarinetist Anton Stadler. We also find in his oeuvre chamber music for winds, piano, and strings. Many of his other compositions also display skillful and delightful writing for wind instruments. His chamber works for winds alone were often titled “divertimento” or “serenade,” whose instrumentation falls under the category of “Harmoniemusik.” The Serenade No. 10 may have come into existence in various stages and was not published during the composer’s lifetime. The title “Gran Partitta [sic] del Sigr. Wolfgang Mozart” first appeared in a copy of the original manuscript and does not derive from Mozart himself. Comprising seven movements, it is the third movement (Adagio) that has made its way into popular culture, primarily through its appearance in Peter Shaffer’s stage play Amadeus (1979) and Milos Forman’s filmization (1984). It is this exquisite music, performed at a party in Vienna, that grabs the attention of Mozart’s contemporary, Antonio Salieri, who suddenly realizes that Mozart was a substantial and formidable rival, rather than a “performing monkey.”
As Salieri continues to describe the Adagio, “This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.” The movement also made an appearance in episodes from two television shows: How I Met Your Mother and The West Wing. ●
