The AusTin symphony
Aaron Copland (1860 –1911) Lincoln Portrait composed 1942 (approx. 14 minutes)
John Corigliano (b. 1938) Music from the Edge composed in 2009 (approx. 9 minutes)
Lincoln Portrait belongs to the patriotic works of Aaron copland. in the years between 1939 and 1950, the composer increasingly turned to American folksongs for his thematic material, without, however, abandoning his personal style and technique. During the second world war in 1942, Andre Kostelanetz commissioned a series of musical portraits of great Americans. copland’s idea was to present spoken excerpts from lincoln’s letters and speeches pertaining to the ideas of freedom and democracy. even a part of the gettysburg address is included. the composition begins purely orchestral. After an introductory free section the folksong “Springfield Mountain” is used, however rhythmically changed and artfully harmonized. A contrasting fast part is based on the vivacious, “camptown races,” by Stephen foster. copland develops this melody freely and adds many of his own themes. immediately before the entrance of the speaker, “Springfield Mountain” is heard again, this time in grandiose augmentation. the speaker delivers an oration as the last section of the work. Sentences are accompanied or interrupted by fitting orchestra motives, many of them taken from the introduction which contributes to the rounding up of the formal structure. the combination of recitation and music, in europe not rare since the 19th century and there called “Melodrama,” seems a successful attempt of fusion between theater and concert. copland shows in this work enough strong emotion to appeal to the professional musician and layman alike.
Music from the Edge is a score to an unmade film. the subject, as in so many of the composer’s mature works, is loss. corigliano’s music makes a passionate reply to the passing of a loved one, and depicts all the emotional states from mourning through wrath and finally to reconciliation. corigliano’s imaginary protagonist suddenly, tragically, loses his daughter. Wounded by the loss, seeking to avenge her death, he ultimately brings about his own. the suite performed tonight brings together three short cues, assembled by peter bay in consultation with the composer.

noteS on the progrAM Antonín Dvorák (1841–1904) Symphony no. 8 in g Major, op. 88 composed in 1889–90 (approx. 34 minutes) ^
Dvorák wrote the Symphony no. 8 between August 26 and november 8, 1889, at his country home, vysoká, in bohemia. the score was dedicated “to the bohemian Academy of emperor franz Joseph for the encouragement of Arts and literature, in thanks for my election [to the prague Academy].” the composer led the national theatre orchestra in the premiere in prague on february 2, 1890. from its inception, Antonín Dvorák’s eighth Symphony was more than a composition; it signified, in musical terms, all that made Dvorák a proud bohemian. Dvorák’s german publisher, Simrock, wanted to publish the symphony’s movement titles and Dvorák’s name in german translation. this might seem like an unimportant detail over which to haggle, but for Dvor ák it was a matter of cultural life and death. Since the age of 26, Dvorák was a reluctant citizen of the Austro‑hungarian empire, whose ruling hapsburgs reigned over the czech people; both czech language and culture were vigorously repressed. Dvorák, an ardent czech patriot who chafed under the oppressive rule of the hapsburgs, refused Simrock’s request. for his part, Simrock was not especially enthusiastic about publishing Dvorák’s symphonies; the music publisher wanted the czech composer to produce more Slavonic dances and piano music, which were guaranteed moneymakers. Simrock and Dvorák also haggled over the composer’s fee (Simrock had paid 3,000 marks for Dvor ák’s Symphony no. 7, but inexplicably and insultingly offered only 1,000 for the eighth Symphony). All these factors contributed to Dvorák’s decision to offer ^

of the melodic material to be heard in the second movement. Some of this material represents an unconscious fusion of elements obviously related to north and South American popular music. (for example, a phrase from a currently popular brazilian tune, heard by the composer in rio, became imbedded in the secondary material in f major.) the overall form of the final movement is that of a free rondo, with several side issues developed at some length. it ends with a fairly elaborate coda in c major. Arthur berger, discussing the clarinet concerto in his book on Aaron copland, remarks that since the work was written for benny goodman, “it inevitably exploits the ‘hot’ jazz improvisation for which that clarinetist is noted. but the very episodes that evoke the sharp‑edged, controlled, motoric style of goodman’s brilliant old sextet are often the ones recalling most strongly the stark, dissonant devices that gave copland the reputation for being an esoteric in the early thirties.…” the jazz elements make their entrance into the concerto in the course of an extended cadenza that connects the two movements, and they dominate the fast, second part of the work. the tender first movement is of lyrical cast, with the grace of ballet and the general mood of a slow dance. it was not at all surprising that a work with a first movement of this character and a second movement evocative of jazz should have established itself by 1951 (shortly after its concert and radio premieres) in ballet repertory as musical underpinning for The Pied Piper of Jerome robbins. yet, with all its readily assimilable exterior and the unproblematic dance content that render it serviceable to the theater, the slow section, like the jazzy part, has its subtleties, too. these are contained largely in the instrumentation, which is confined to strings, harp, and piano. from a piano reduction of this score one would never suspect the luminosity that is imparted to the string sonority by the delicate edging of figures in the harp.

Notes oN the program
to Beethoven’s Pastoral symphony, the music suggests an idyllic summer’s day, interrupted by a cloudburst, after which the sun reappears. the finale begins with a trumpet fanfare and continues with a theme and several variations. the theme, introduced by the cellos, is a natural subject of such deceptive simplicity that it cost its normally tuneful composer nine drafts before he was satisfied. the variations, which incorporate everything from a sunny flute solo to a determined march in the minor mode, eventually fade to a gentle farewell before Dvorák adds one last rip-roaring page to ensure the audience enthusiasm that, by 1889, he had grown to expect. ^
his symphony No. 8 to the London firm Novello, which published it in 1890. Dvorák broke new ground with the symphony No. 8, a work, as he explained, meant to be “different from the other symphonies, with individual thoughts worked out in a new way.” the music is steeped in the flavor and atmosphere of the Czech countryside. Within the music, Dvorák included sounds from nature, particularly hunting horn calls, birdsong and dramatic fanfares that suggest nonmusical images. the symphony abounds with Czech folk tunes and the sounds of the Czech countryside, most notably utilizing different wind instruments to sound a number of birdcalls. another unusual feature of this symphony is the oblique manner in which Dvorák approaches harmony. the music begins with cellos, accompanied by horns, bassoons and trombones, intoning a stately chorale in g minor. a solo flute, imitating a bird, then ushers in the symphony’s “true” key of g major. serenity floats over the adagio, yet a hint of melancholy pervades even when the full orchestra is playing. Dvorák was most at home in rural settings, and the music of this adagio evokes the tranquil landscapes of Dvor ák’s homeland, and particularly the garden at Vysoká, Dvorák’s country home. In a manner similar
