Austin Symphony Orchestra n ote S o n t H e p ro g r A M george frideric Handel (1685–1759) Music for the Royal Fireworks, HWV 351 (approx. 18 minutes) Originally hired by George, Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover), Germany, George Frideric Handel displeased his employer and settled in England to compose operas. When George succeeded to the British throne in 1714 as George i, Handel—with help and connections—managed to maneuver back into royal favor to become the most important “English” composer of the first half of the 18th century. When the treaty of Aachen in 1748 put an end to the War of the Austrian Succession, a war nobody wanted, King George ii commissioned music to celebrate the occasion. On April 25, 1749, a Thanksgiving service was held at the Chapel Royal for which Handel produced the short anthem “How Beautiful Are the Feet;” two days later the public was invited to a grand celebration in Green Park, where fireworks of “unsurpassed magnificence” had been promised. For that occasion, Handel composed the Music for the Royal Fireworks, his last solely instrumental work. The fireworks were a bust—it rained and the launch platform caught fire— but the music wasn’t. The King had commanded Handel to write “martial music” for winds and timpani; the Duke of Montagu, Master General of the Ordnance added that he “hoped there would be no fidles [sic].” While Handel had no choice about initially accepting the royal command, he felt that the piece would profit from the addition of strings. But the performances during the celebrations followed the royal dictum—the original score called for 24 oboes, 3 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 sets of timpani, 12 bassoons, a few serpents

and a few contrabassoons—but the composer soon thereafter added the missing strings. Tonight’s performance, however, utilizes an edition prepared by Anthony Baines and Charles Mackerras for symphonic winds, brass and percussion, and omits the strings. The music is a suite in the various styles of instrumental music popular at the time. Currently, at outdoor celebrations, the noisy fireworks are saved to accompany the final movement. Apparently at the original performance, there would have been fireworks throughout—had they worked. Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) Les illuminations, Op. 18 (approx. 22 minutes) Benjamin Britten was one of the musical giants of the last century. While still a toddler, he showed exceptional musical promise, starting to compose and improvise at the piano at a very early age. By age 12 he had already composed six string quartets, 10 piano sonatas, numerous suites of piano pieces and songs. Although his dentist father was not enthusiastic about his son’s passion for a field that might not yield a decent living, his mother was Benjamin’s emotional lodestar. So convinced was she of her son’s talents that she openly expected his name to join the musical trinity, Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, as the fourth “B.” Britten’s fame rests primarily on his vocal works, including over a dozen Download the app: Connect: operas, cantatas, and song cycles.

Austin Symphony Orchestra not eS on tHe progrAM singers or children’s choruses—all without compromising his artistic standards. Britten’s muse, for whom he composed much of his vocal music, was his life-long partner, tenor Peter Pears. Britten’s initial ambivalence and final acceptance of his homosexuality now seem dated. Also controversial was his pacifism at a time when his country stood poised on the brink of

war. By the spring of 1939, his life had become so complicated and stultifying that he and Pears traveled to Canada to escape the pressure. With the outbreak of the war in September, they decided not to return to England and spent three years in the united States. in 1942, however, Britten returned home to do his part for the country’s morale, composing scores for concerts, radio dramatizations and films.

Austin Symphony Orchestra n ote S o n t H e p ro g r A M in 1938, poet W. H. Auden introduced Britten to Les illuminations, a collection of over 40 poems and prose poems by French poet Arthur Rimbaud (1854– 1891). Les illuminations has been called “surrealist before Surrealism,” due to the dreamlike, even hallucinatory nature of many of the poems—images and metaphors that resist analysis. The central theme is a “parade” of images, as if taken from travelogue through world civilizations, myth and universal archetypes that haunt our dreams. The songs are distinct in mood and tempo, arranged like a suite for voice and string orchestra, introduced and unified by three iterations of a single phrase: “i alone have the key to this savage parade.” Britten embarked on Les illuminations in March 1939 in England and finished it in October in the united States. Fanfare, Maestoso (poco presto): An animated dialogue between first and second violins introduces the singer declaring: “i alone have the key to this savage parade.” Villes (Towns), Allegro energico: A chattering ostinato in the upper strings accompanies the singer in his whirlwind tour of phantom cities and landscapes populated by the ghosts of Classical myth and European folklore. it ends gently, with a plea for a return to a bucolic, simpler time. Phrase (Sentence), Lento e estatico: A “slow movement” in two parts begins in an atmosphere of shimmering violin harmonics, the singer prepares to dance through spaces edged with garlands decked around steeples, windows and, finally, the stars. Antique: This openly erotic serenade, describing the poet’s lover in extravagant classical images, is a duet between a solo violin and the singer, who echo each other’s musical phrases. They are accompanied by a gentle pizzicato in the upper strings, playing the

part of a lute or guitar. in the middle, the entire first violin section joins the duet. Rimbaud had a stormy relationship with the poet Paul Verlaine, who shot and wounded Rimbaud in a drunken rage. Royauté (Royalty), Allegro maestoso: A faux-pompous ritornello announces the singer’s description of a young couple imagining themselves as royalty. Marine (Seascape), Allegro con brio: is this poem a seascape or a landscape? Whichever, a ship or coach, plow resolutely through it to reach the long melisma of light. Interlude, Moderato ma comodo: At the conclusion of the interlude, the singer repeats his statement of the fanfare, this time more subdued. Being Beauteous, Lento ma comodo: in another hallucinatory image, a corpse, musically described in gory detail, transforms us with a beautiful new body. The English title is Rimbaud’s. Parade, Alla marcia : As if opening a Pandora’s box of evil spirits, Britten uses his key and unlocks the “savage parade.” The ghostly images speed by and disappear, and the singer exults in a final reprise of the Fanfare. Départ (Leaving), Largo mesto: in a morose coda, the singer asks us rhetorically if we have seen enough during this tour.

Austin Symphony Orchestra not eS on tHe progrAM 12-tone technique (Piano Quartet, Piano Fantasy). in the mid-1930s he began to feel “an increasing dissatisfaction with the relation of the music-loving public and the living composer.” in order to reach a wider audience he simplified his style to make it more accessible, yet without sacrificing sound artistic values. The first work in this more popular vein was El Salón México, finished in 1936. This was followed by the works for which he is best known today: his three American ballets, Billy the Kid, Rodeo, and Appalachian Spring. Copland composed Appalachian Spring in 1944 for the great pioneer of modern dance, Martha Graham, to be performed at an evening of modern ballet at the Library of Congress. (Other ballets on the program were by Paul Hindemith and Darius Milhaud.) Copland originally called it Ballet for Martha, but Graham gave it its final title after a poem by Hart Crane—although the ballet bears no relation to the text of the poem. The size limitations of the stage at the Library dictated a small ensemble; consequently the original version was scored for 13 instruments (flute, clarinet, bassoon, piano, and strings). Soon after the successful premiere, however, Copland extracted a slightly shortened suite from the ballet for full orchestra, the version most frequently heard today. in the preface to the score of the Suite, Copland summarized the story of the ballet using the words of the New York Herald Tribune review by Eric Denby, written after the New York premiere: “…A pioneer celebration in spring around a newly-built farmhouse in the Pennsylvania hills in the early part of the last century. The bride-to-be and the young farmer-husband enact the emotions, joyful and apprehensive, their new domestic partnership invites… A revivalist and his followers remind the new householders of the strange and terrible aspects of human fate.

At the end the couple are left quiet and strong in their new house.” The sections of the suite merge into each other without pause, but reflect distinctly different moods and scenarios. The haunting but peaceful opening gives way suddenly to an outburst of excitement comprising several different musical motives, demonstrating the open octaves and fifths that became the hallmark of Copland’s “American” style. After building up to a frenzied climax, a solo clarinet interrupts plaintively with the Shaker tune, “Simple Gifts.” Copland uses the song as the theme for a set of variations, which themselves increase in intensity as more and more instruments are added with each new variation. Then, with another sudden shift in mood, we are transported back to the quiet introduction, and the Suite ends as it began. “Simple Gifts” was composed by Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr., in 1848 for dancing during Shaker worship. Copland’s five variations never veer far from the original melody, which he found in a 1940 collection of Shaker songs compiled by Edward D. Andrews. While the tune was certainly perfect for Graham’s choreography, it didn’t exactly fit the story line, as the Shakers themselves were dedicated to a life of celibacy.

i. fanfare J’ai seul la clef de cette parade sauvage.

i. fanfare i alone hold the key to this wild parade.

ii. villes Ce sont des villes! C’est un peuple pour qui se sont montés ces Alleghanys et ces Libans de rêve ! Des chalets de cristal et de bois qui se meuvent sur des rails et des poulies invisibles. Les vieux cratères ceints de colosses et de palmiers de cuivre rugissent mélodieusement dans les feux. Des cortèges de Mabs en robes rousses, opalines, montent des ravines. Là-haut, les pieds dans la cascade et les ronces, les cerfs tettent Diane. Les Bacchantes des banlieues sanglotent et la lune brûle et hurle. Vénus entre dans les cavernes des forgerons et des ermites. Des groupes de beffrois chantent les idées des peuples. Des châteaux bâtis en os sort la musique inconnue. Le paradis des orages s’effondre. Les sauvages dansent sans cesse la fête de la nuit.

ii. towns These are towns! This is a people for whom these Alleghenies and these Lebanons were raised up! Crystal and wooden chalets move on invisible rails and pulleys. The old craters, surrounded by colossuses and copper palm-trees, roar melodiously in the flames Processions of Mabs in russet and opaline robes climb the ravines. up there, Diana suckles stags, with their feet in the cascade and brambles. Suburban Bacchantes sob, and the moon burns and howls. Venus enters caverns of blacksmiths and hermits. Groups of belfries sing the people’s ideas. From castles built of bones pour forth unknown music.… The paradise of storms collapses. The savages dance ceaselessly the festival of the night

Quels bons bras, quelle belle heure me rendront cette région d’où viennent mes sommeils et mes moindres ouvements? iii. Antique J’ai tendu des cordes de clocher à clocher; des guirlandes de fenêtre à fenêtre; des chaînes d’or d’étoile à étoile, et je danse Gracieux fils de Pan! Autour de ton front couronné de fleurettes et de baies, tes yeux, des boules précieuses, remeunt. Tachées de lies brunes, tes joues se creusent. Tes crocs luisent. Ta poitrine ressemble à une cithare, des tintements circulent dans tes bras blonds. Ton cœur bat dans ce ventre où dort le double sexe. Promène-toi, la nuit en mouvant doucement cette cuisse, cette seconde cuisse et cette jambe de gauche.

What lovely arms, what beautiful hour will bring back to me that region from whence come my slumber and my smallest movements?

iii. Antique i hung strings from steeple to steeple; garlands from window to window; gold chains from star to star, and i dance Gracious child of Pan! Around your brow, crowned by tiny flowers and berries, your eyes—precious globes—stir. Stained by brown dregs, your cheeks are hollowed. Your fangs glisten. Your bosom resembles a zither, its chiming spreading about in your fair arms. Your heart beats in that belly where the double sex sleeps. Walk in the night, moving gently this thigh, that other thigh, and that left leg.

iv. royauté Un beau matin, chez un peuple fort doux, un homme et une femme superbes criaient sur la place publique: “Mes amis, je veux qu’elle soit reine!” “Je veux être reine!” Elle riait et tremblait. Il parlait aux amis de révélation, d’épreuve terminée. Ils se pâmaient l’un contre l’autre. En effet ils furent rois toute une matinée où les tentures carminées se relevèrent sur les maisons, et toute l’après-midi, où ils s’avancèrent du côté des jardins de palmes.

iv. royalty A beautiful morning, among a most gentle people, a superb man and woman, cry out in a public square: “My friends, i wish to make her your queen!” “i wish to be your queen!,” she cries, and trembles. He speaks to his friends of revelation, of finished ordeals. They swoon, one against the other. indeed, they were kings all that morning while the crimson hangings went up on the houses, and all that afternoon, when they advanced toward the coast through gardens of palms.

vii. Being Beautious Devant une neige un Être de Beauté de haute taille. Des sifflements de mort et des cercles de musique sourde font monter, s’élargir et trembler comme un spectre ce corps adoré: des blessures écarlates et noires éclatent dans les chaires superbes. Les couleurs propres de la vie se foncent, dansent, et se dégagent autour de la Vision, sur le chantier. Et les frissons s’élèvent et grondent, et la saveur forcenée de ces effets se chargeant avec les sifflements mortels et les rauques musiques que le monde, loin derrière nous, lance sur notre mère de beauté,— elle recule, elle se dresse. Oh! nos os sont revêtus d’un nouveau corps amoureux. ******** Ô la face cendrée, l’écusson de crin, les bras de cristal! Le canon sur lequel je dois m’abattre à travers la mêlée des arbres et de l’air léger!

vii. Being Beautious in front of the snow stands a tall Beauteous Being. The hissing of death and circles of muffled music make this adored body climb, expand, and tremble: black and scarlet wounds burst in the superb flesh. The proper colors of life darken, dance, and give off around the vision, upon the yard. And the shudders rise and fall, and the maniacal flavor of these effects being charged with the mortal hissing and raucous music that the world, well behind us, hurls on our mother of beauty - she withdraws, she stands up. O! Our bones are dressed once more in a new amorous body. ******** O ashen face, with shield of hair, and arms of crystal! The cannon on which i must throw myself down, amid the scuffle of trees and the light breeze!

Austin Symphony Orchestra text viii. parade Des drôles très solides. Plusieurs ont exploité vos mondes. Sans besoins, et peu pressés de mettre en œuvre leurs brillantes facultés et leur expérience de vos consciences. Quels hommes mûrs! Des yeux hébétés à la façon de la nuit d’été, rouges et noirs, tricolores, d’acier piqué d’étoiles d’or ; des faciès déformés, plombés, blêmis, incendiés; des enrouements folâtres! La démarche cruelle des oripeaux! Il y a quelques jeunes.… Ô le plus violent Paradis de la grimace enragée!

viii. parade What sturdy odd fellows. Several have exploited your worlds. Without needs, and little concerned with putting their brilliant minds and their experience of your consciences to work. What mature men! Dazed eyes like a summer night, red and black, tri-colored, steel dotted with golden stars; deformed features, leaden, made pale, made to burn; their foolish cries! The cruel walk of rags! There are some young ones.… O the most violent Paradise of the fanatical grimace!…

Chinois, Hottentots, bohémiens, niais, hyènes, Molochs, vieilles démences, démons sinistres, ils mêlent les tours populaires, maternels, avec les poses et les tendresses bestiales. Ils interpréteraient des pièces nouvelles et des chansons «bonnes filles». Maîtres jongleurs, ils transforment le lieu et les personnes, et usent de la comédie magnétique .…

COVID-19 Emergency Fund

D ONat e NOW! INt e r NatIONaL Ly, W e are FaCI N G one of the greatest historical challenges with COViD-19. For the Austin Symphony Orchestra, this is no different, since opening our doors in 1911.

As individuals, we are all doing what we can to help by sheltering in place, ensuring that our loved ones and neighbors remain healthy. the Austin Symphony Orchestra survived the Spanish Flu of 1918. We survived two World Wars. yet, COViD-19 is the most significant threat we have seen due to its potential to impact our budget with the cancellation of concerts. Congress recognized the difficulties that nonprofits face and included changes to charitable contributions through the CArES Act. We will survive this adversity knowing that the greatest way to show love right now is to keep the hall empty. Donate now to the ASO COViD-19 Emergency Fund and show your love for our talented musicians. Help ASO keep performing. All of us here at ASO are thinking of you and yours,
