notes on the progrAM Gioachino Rossini (1792–1868) overture to Guillaume tell (approx. 12 minutes) Between 1810 and 1829 gioachino rossini wrote an astonishing 38 operas. then, at age 37, he quit. For the rest of his long life he concentrated on his avocation as a gourmet cook and grew appropriately in bulk. he composed only sporadically and, except for church music, mostly small works he tossed off for the entertainment of his friends. he published more than 150 musical miniatures in a collection that he called péchés de vieillesse (sins of old age). rossini’s final opera, Guillaume tell, based on a play by Friedrich schiller, was written in 1829 for the Academie royale de Musique with the intent to conquer the paris opera scene. rossini had aspired to a 10-year contract to produce operas in paris, composed specifically for a French audience—as opposed to his previous productions that were merely translations of italian operas written for naples. unfortunately, the revolution of 1830 overthrew France’s king charles x, and rossini was forced to cool his heels for six years awaiting a libretto for his next opera. Guillaume tell had already forced him to revamp his style considerably to conform to French taste and new composers were assuming the parisian limelight while he was stalled. the opera premiered in 1829, but rossini immediately tinkered with it in rehearsal and subsequently shortened it. since he had acquired considerable wealth from his italian operas, the effort required to “keep up with the Joneses” may simply have not been worth it. the overture—the finale of which became the signature theme for the lone ranger, one of radio’s longest running shows—is different from any other rossini wrote. it is programmatic, suggested by the alpine setting and the finale of the opera (although not using the same music): the alpine sunrise, for five solo celli, the storm, the clearing skies and the shepherd’s song of thanks for english

horn— all with a strong, and probably non-coincidental, relationship to Beethoven’s pastoral symphony—the trumpet call to arms and the rush of the soldiers. Many later 19th century opera composers adopted this type of overture, notably verdi in nabucco and la forza del destino and Wagner in the Flying dutchman and die meistersinger von nürnberg.

Wolfgang Amadé mozart (1756 –1791) violin concerto no. 4 in d Major, k. 218 (approx. 22 minutes) there is some controversy among scholars whether Mozart himself actually gave the first performance of his five known violin concertos, but there is no question that he was a master violin player in his childhood. in fact, his father, leopold—ever the “backstage mom”—was frequently after him to show off his skills by writing a virtuoso concerto for the instrument: “you yourself do not know how well you play the violin,” he wrote to his son. When Mozart finally did write concertos for the instrument in 1773–75, he wrote a bunch of them; his five concertos are only 12 köchel catalogue numbers apart. At that time, Mozart was in salzburg, under the employment of Archbishop hieronymus von colloredo for whom he both composed and served as violinist in the court orchestra.

Mozart hated his employer who was a strict taskmaster and had no truck with his young musician, however talented. Although Mozart was more than seven years in the Archbishop’s employ, he spent nearly three of them on furlough, performing around europe and none too diplomatically looking forDownload anotherthejob. app: in 1781 when Connect:Mozart finally broke with the Archbishop—whose aide kicked Mozart down the stairs—he left for vienna for good. the Archbishop commented Download the app: Connect: “mag er geh’n, ich brauch’ ihn nicht!” (“let him go, i don’t need him!”).

notes on the progrAM Antonín Dvorák (1841–1904) symphony no. 9 in e Minor, op. 95, From the new World (approx. 43 minutes) Antonín dvorák’s sojourn in the united states from 1892 to 1895 came about through the efforts of Mrs. Jeanette B. thurber. A dedicated and idealistic proponent of an American national musical style, she underwrote and administered the first American music conservatory, the national conservatory of Music in new york.

Because of dvorák’s popularity throughout europe, he was thurber’s first choice for a director. the fact that he spoke no english was of little consequence since the language of musical discourse was german. he, in turn, was probably lured to the big city so far from home by both a large salary and convictions regarding musical nationalism that paralleled Mrs. thurber’s own. thirty years before his arrival in new york, dvorák had read henry Wadsworth longfellow’s Song of hiawatha in a czech translation and was eager to learn more about the native American and African-American music, which he believed should be the basis of the American style of composition. he also shared with Mrs. thurber the conviction that the national conservatory should admit negro students. one of them, henry Burleigh, who became an important African-American composer in his own right, is credited with exposing his teacher to African-American spirituals.

While his knowledge of authentic native American music is questionable—his exposure came through samples transcribed for him by American friends and through Buffalo Bill’s Wild West shows—he became familiar with African-American spirituals through Burleigh, as well as indirectly via the songs of stephen Foster. he incorporated both of these styles into the symphony no. 9, composed while he was in new york.

Just as dvorák never quoted Bohemian folk music directly in his own nationalistic music, he did not use American themes in ^

whose abilities were limited, or for Franz xavier kolb, another salzburg violinist and family friend. After 1775 Mozart occasionally performed them himself. these were relatively modest concertos by a youthful master, written at a time when the popularity of virtuoso violin concertos had gone into decline. After the flourishing of the Baroque violin concerto by such masters as Antonio vivaldi and giuseppe tartini, the genre went into partial hibernation until Beethoven awakened it with a new kind of virtuosic writing that was to set the stage for the great romantic concertos of Mendelssohn, Bruch, and tchaikovsky, not to mention the great showman niccolò paganini. Mozart left no cadenzas for the concertos; most players either write their own or borrow one from the pen of any number of great violinists. in Mozart’s time a performer would certainly have been expected to improvise his own. the concerto no. 4, dating from october 1775, opens with a military rhythm, which is answered directly with a more graceful response. upon entering, the soloist’s customary role is to decorate the main theme, but instead here he introduces a new secondary theme. the contrasting moods prevail throughout the movement, even as Mozart piles on one new lyrical melody after the other. the flowing slow movement opens with an orchestral introduction, but the soloist dominates the rest of the movement, relegating the orchestra to the background. the Finale is a combination of a rondo and sonata form. it opens with a dance-like phrase in 2/4 meter—most likely a gavotte— followed by a completing phrase in fast 6/8 time. After the development section, a middle section contains an entirely new melody known as “Strassburger,” which is how Mozart and his father referred to this concerto in their correspondence.

left the drawing board. the third movement as well, in its rhythmic thumping, the pentatonic scale and the orchestration dominated by winds and percussion, is meant to portray an indian ceremonial dance described in longfellow’s poem. dvorák’s symphonic use of what he believed to be an authentic native American musical idiom may have reflected his initial ideas for the opera. one of the most important features of the symphony is its thematic coherence.

Whatever the origin of the melodies, they all have a modular characteristic in that they can be mixed and matched in many different ways. in the last movement, dvorák brings nearly all of the symphony’s themes together, sometimes as one long continuous melody, sometimes in contrapuntal relationship to each other. ^

their entirety. rather, with his unsurpassed gift for melody, he incorporated characteristic motives into his own themes. nevertheless, any listener with half an ear can discern “Massa dear” (also known as “goin’ home”) in the famous english horn solo in the second movement. We can deduce the importance of these musical motives from the fact that they appear as reminiscences in more than one movement, especially in the Finale. the symphony, however, is hardly an American pastiche; the second motive in the largo movement is a phrase of wrenching musical longing that many listeners interpret as the composer’s nostalgia for his native Bohemia. the new york music critic and dvorák’s friend, henry edward krehbiel, claimed that the movement was inspired by incidents from the Song of hiawatha. Which incidents, however, have never been definitively determined. krehbiel posited the scene in which hiawatha woos Minnehaha, while others have suggested Minnehaha’s funeral. incidentally, dvorák had also intended to compose an opera on hiawatha, which never

2003 PAPI Advertising Since.......................

Our medical practice style is unique and appeals primarily to a more sophisticated clientele such as those who attend theatrical and cultural events. In the past we have found it a waste of advertising dollars to attempt to reach our small target audience via the expensiveFor mass media. For the past several years the Performing Arts Advertising Information,Visit Program has proven to be a very cost-effective way for us to inform potential patients www.papiaustin.com about the more personal medical service we provide.
