To Our Supporters Perhaps you’ve heard the good news — Boulder Phil ticket sales have increased 40% since Michael Butterman joined us as Music Director in 2006! In fact, we performed for a record six sold-out houses in 2013, a clear indication that our community is excited about our programming, including our current season, “Nature & Music.” No fewer than a dozen collaborations are helping to bring to life this most “Boulder” of seasons, furthering the Phil’s commitment to present programming that reflects and fosters all that makes our community special. To experience one of our more surprising partnerships first-hand, I invite you to join us for one of our guided “musical hikes” with Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks this spring! Of course, none of this would be possible without our most important collaborators of all: YOU! It is extremely gratifying to see our number of ticket-buyers continue to grow and our number of subscribers hit yet another high. It is my hope that you might also consider becoming part of an equally important increase in the number of donors to the Phil’s artistic and education programs. Perhaps you would like to sponsor a musician as part of our new “Friends of the Phil” program! Thank you for your support. See you at Macky... and on the trail! Kevin Shuck

About the Boulder Phil
Under the vision and leadership of Music Director Michael Butterman, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra is celebrating its 57th year of providing outstanding orchestral music highlighting the creative talents of our own unique community. The Boulder Phil is a critically acclaimed professional orchestra, presenting performances nine months out of the year and employing a core of 72 of our region’s most highly trained musicians. Voted “Best Classical Music” multiple times by the readers of Boulder Weekly, the Boulder Phil’s main performance venue is Macky Auditorium on the CU-Boulder campus, a historic concert hall which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The Boulder Phil’s Masterworks series—broadcast across the state on Colorado Public Radio—features a dynamic mix of masterpieces and promising new works, highlighting both accomplished and emerging guest artists with a special emphasis on Boulder’s own creative community. The orchestra’s broad reach in the community includes special events such as the annual co-production of The Nutcracker with the Boulder Ballet and “Café Phil” open rehearsal nights at the Dairy Center for the Arts. The Boulder Phil also works to inspire the next generation of music-lovers through its Discovery Concerts reaching 4th and 5th grade students across multiple counties. Founded in 1958, the Boulder Phil became a fully professional ensemble under the leadership of Theodore Kuchar, who began his tenure as music director in 1996. Michael Butterman was named music director in 2006, bringing a strong emphasis on education and outreach, as well as a creative approach to programming that includes a focus on collaborations with other local artists. Under his direction, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra reflects and fosters all that makes Boulder special—its creativity, spirit, beauty and quest for knowledge. By connecting people to orchestral music, the Boulder Phil strives to be an essential part of our community's cultural fabric.

Michael Butterman, Conductor Making his mark as a model for today’s conductors, Michael Butterman is recognized for his commitment to creative artistry, innovative programming, and to audience and community engagement. He is in his eighth season as Music Director for both the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra and the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra, and is in his 14th season as Principal Conductor for Education and Outreach for the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the first position of its kind in the United States. He is also the Resident Conductor of the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, a post he has held since 2009. As a guest conductor, Mr. Butterman made his debut with the Cleveland Orchestra in the spring of 2012, and was immediately reengaged for two concerts the following season. Other recent engagements include appearances with the Detroit Symphony, Houston Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Oregon Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Hartford Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Syracuse Symphony, New Mexico Symphony, California Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Spokane Symphony, El Paso Symphony, Santa Fe Symphony, Mobile Symphony, Peoria Symphony, Winston-Salem Symphony, Pensacola Opera and Asheville Lyric Opera. Summer appearances include Tanglewood, the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado and the Wintergreen Music Festival in Virginia. In the 13-14 season, he will make his debut with the Charleston Symphony. Mr. Butterman gained international attention as a diploma laureate in the Prokofiev International Conducting Competition and as a finalist in the prestigious Besançon International Conducting Competition. As the 1999 recipient of the Seiji Ozawa Fellowship, he studied at Tanglewood with Robert Spano, Jorma Panula, and Maestro Ozawa, and shared the podium with Ozawa to lead the season’s opening concert. In 1997, Mr. Butterman was sponsored by UNESCO to lead the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova in a concert of music by great American masters. From 2000 to 2007, Mr. Butterman held the post of Associate Conductor for the Jacksonville Symphony in Florida. For six seasons, he also served as Music Director of Opera Southwest in Albuquerque, NM. Prior to joining the Jacksonville Symphony, Mr. Butterman was Director of Orchestral Studies at the LSU School of Music for five years, and was Principal Conductor of the LSU Opera Theater. Previously, he held the post of Associate Conductor of the Columbus Pro Musica Orchestra, and served as Music Director of the Chamber Opera, Studio Opera, and Opera Workshop at the Indiana University School of Music. For two seasons, he was also the Associate Music Director of the Ohio Light Opera, conducting over 35 performances each summer. At Indiana University, Mr. Butterman conducted a highly acclaimed production of Leonard Bernstein’s little-known 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in a series of performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, receiving unanimous praise from such publications as The New York Times, Washington Post, Variety, and USA Today. He was subsequently invited to New York at the request of the Bernstein estate to prepare a performance of a revised version of the work. Michael Butterman’s work has been featured in five nationwide broadcasts on public radio's Performance Today, and can be heard on two CDs recorded for the Newport Classics label and on a new disc in which he conducts the Rochester Philharmonic and collaborates with actor John Lithgow. www.MichaelButterman.com

Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2013-2014 Program 1
Program RACHEL BARTON PINE, VIOLIN In both art and life, violinist Rachel Barton Pine has an extraordinary ability to connect with people. Celebrated as a leading interpreter of great classical works, her performances combine her innate gift for emotional communication and her scholarly fascination with historical research. She plays with passion and conviction across an extensive repertoire. Audiences are thrilled by her dazzling technique, lustrous tone, and infectious joy in music-making. Ms. Pine’s 2013-2014 season includes performances with orchestras from Alaska to New Mexico and Vancouver to Montreal. In March 2014, she will premiere a new concerto by the Arab-American composer Mohammed Fairouz with the Alabama Symphony. Ms. Pine will offer recitals at Cultura Artistica Itaim in Sao Paulo, Brazil and a performance of the complete Paganini Caprices at the Northwest Bach Festival. In fall of 2013, Cedille Records issued her album of the Mendelssohn and Schumann Violin Concertos and the Beethoven Romances with the Göttinger Symphonie Orchester. In 2014, Sir Neville Marriner, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and Ms. Pine will celebrate the release of their recording of the five Mozart Violin concertos, as well as Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra with Matthew Lipman. Ms. Pine has appeared as soloist with many of the world’s most prestigious ensembles, including the Chicago, Montreal, Baltimore, and Vienna Symphonies; the Philadelphia Orchestra; and the Mozarteum, Scottish, and Israel Chamber Orchestras. Ms. Pine’s prolific discography of 25 recordings includes the Glazunov Violin Concerto with the Russian National Orchestra on Warner Classics. Her Violin Lullabies with pianist Matthew Hagle on Cedille Records debuted at number one on the Billboard classical chart. For Beethoven & Clement Violin Concertos, recorded with The Royal Philharmonic conducted by José Serebrier, Ms. Pine presented the world-premiere recording of Clement’s Violin Concerto. Her Brahms and Joachim Violin Concertos was recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and
conductor Carlos Kalmar. The author of her own cadenzas to many of the works she performs, Ms. Pine became the only living artist to join musicians like Fritz Kreisler and Jascha Heifetz in Carl Fischer’s Masters Collection series with a collection of original compositions, arrangements, and cadenzas. The Rachel Elizabeth Barton Foundation assists young artists through projects including the Instrument Loan Program, Grants for Education and Career, Global HeartStrings (supporting musicians in developing countries), and a curricular series in development with the University of Michigan. Ms. Pine resides in Chicago. She performs on the Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu (Cremona 1742), known as the “ex-Soldat,” on loan from her patron. rachelbartonpine.com
PROGRAM NOTES J.S. BACH (1685 – 1750) Komm, süsser Tod, arr. Leopold Stokowski Johann Sebastian Bach derived his unique style from the musical forms and idioms that he respected. The German contrapuntal art is perhaps the most evident, but the Italian concerto forms used by Corelli, Vivaldi, and Albinoni are as noticeable as any other element in Bach’s music. For an artist who never strayed away from the eastern provinces of Germany, his approach was amazingly cosmopolitan. Bach’s musical output depended on the needs of his job at the time. In 1723 the Bach family moved to Leipzig where Sebastian took on the grueling duties of Kantor at the Thomasschule. He was in charge of all music at four Leipzig churches and answered to city council, which had the authority to demand music for any occasion they saw fit. Bach was also choir director at all four churches – three of which sang polyphonic music. In 1729 Bach assumed the duties of directing the collegium musicum, a group of university students and professional musicians who gave public concerts on a weekly basis, some of them at the local coffee house. Bach’s last years in Leipzig were marked by worsening eyesight, probably due to diabetes. He died in late July of 1750 in total blindness. Besides his widow, Bach left an estate of much less value than would befit a person of his musical and cultural importance.
Program 2 Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2013-2014
Program Two centuries later, the English conductor Leopold Stokowski (1882 – 1977) was becoming increasingly aware of a major problem in attendance at orchestral concerts. This dynamic personality was as talented as a media figure as he was as a conductor and would go to great lengths to make classical music a part of daily life. Stokowski was at ease in front of the camera and made great strides toward the popularization of the orchestra when he appeared as the conductor in Walt Disney’s Fantasia in 1940. Warner Brothers’ animated series, Looney Tunes, enshrined his image in their cartoon LongHaired Hare, as the audience at the animated Hollywood Bowl mutters, “Leopold! Leopold!” Of course, Stokowski was also an extremely talented conductor and held positions with the Philadelphia Orchestra, NBC Symphony Orchestra, and New York Philharmonic, among others. He championed new music and programmed it regularly. Stokowski also wrote transcriptions of older works, including his adaptation of Johann Sebastian Bach’s chorale Komm, süsser Tod. Komm, süsser Tod, komm selge Ruh (Come, sweet death, come, blessed rest) dates from 1736 as part of Georg Christian Schmelli’s Gesangbuch (BWV 478). Although Bach contributed about sixty sacred songs to that volume, most of the songs are based on old Lutheran chorales. Komm süsser Tod, however, is a wholly original composition that has entered the pantheon of that tradition and surpassed its companion pieces in popularity and reverence. Stokowski’s transcription, which features a solo cello, dates from sometime before 1926. The original text expresses a longing for the eternal rest that can only be attained by dying. GUSTAV MAHLER (1860 – 1911) Blumine (Bouquet of Flowers) Gustav Mahler’s symphonies are among the most grandiose works ever composed for orchestra. Although the composer’s detractors claim that the works are longwinded, each of the symphonies provides a glimpse of the grandeur of fin-de-siècle Vienna. Building upon the musical advances of Richard Wagner, Mahler’s music usually deals with profound subjects – religious crises, redemption through love, and the spiritual (almost Zen-like) elements that too often go unnoticed in daily life. The work called Symphony No. 1 was begun
in Leipzig. Conceived initially as a symphonic poem in two parts, the symphony follows an elaborate outline tracing the life of a Bohemian peasant hero – the “Titan.” First Part: From the Days of Youth I. Spring II. Flora III. Under Full Sail Second Part: Human Comedy IV. Funeral March V. From Inferno to Paradise Mahler eventually entitled the “Flora” movement, “Blumine,” however he never felt comfortable with its inclusion and eventually dropped it from the symphony. The resulting four-movement work is equally balanced into two halves – the first part expressing the joy of youth, while the second part examines death. The dilemma for modern performers and audiences is that “Blumine,” all by itself as a stand-alone work, is worthy of performance. Although it was part of the original version of the First Symphony, “Blumine” had an earlier history that makes it unique among Mahler’s works. It was originally composed for an 1884 presentation in Kassel, Germany, of a series of tableaux representing scenes from a comic poem entitled Der Trompeter von Säckingen (The Trumpeter of Säckingen). Although the score is lost, Mahler’s writings verify that much of the music of “Blumine” was included in the production. After it was excised from the First Symphony, Mahler continued to revise the movement as late as 1906. Shortly thereafter, he gave the score to a student, whose family sold it through auction to Mrs. James M. Osborn. She donated it to the New Haven Symphony, which kept it in the Yale University Library. Publication finally took place in 1968. Mahler described the piece as “a sentimentally indulgent movement, a love episode,” which seems to be a fitting description. The work begins with a murmur in the strings from which a trumpet solo emerges. As is typical with Mahler’s slow movements, the overall atmosphere is one of reverence and increasing emotional intensity. A contrasting middle section relies more heavily on woodwind solos. True to the standard ABA structure of symphonic second movements, the work ends with a return to the opening material. A short coda provides a suitable conclusion with a final gesture of the violins reaching upward into their highest range.

Program ALBAN BERG (1885 – 1935) Violin Concerto Tonight’s soloist has provided the following: The Alban Berg Violin Concerto is one of my absolute favorites. I first studied it in 1992, reading every article about it that I could find in the library. I had the privilege of studying it both with Pierre Boulez and with Richard Hoffman, who knew Berg personally and is the last living student of Schoenberg (Berg’s teacher) from Schoenberg’s Vienna circle. The Berg Violin Concerto is not only very intense and beautiful, but it is also an extremely personal work by the composer. Some information about the history of the piece and its meaning may aid you in your listening experience. The Austrian composer Alban Berg composed his violin concerto in 1935 in a summer house just a few miles from where Brahms had written his glorious violin concerto many years earlier. The inspiration for the piece came from the death of a young woman to whom he was very close, Manon Gropius. Manon was the daughter of Berg’s friend Alma Mahler (Gustav’s widow) and her husband, Walter Gropius, the famous architect. Gropius had died shortly after Manon’s birth. Manon was 18 when she died of poliomyelitis, and Berg titled his concerto for her, “To the memory of an angel.” The concerto is written in two parts, each with two continuous movements. Part One describes the beautiful young girl. The first movement, often tender, shows her as charming and graceful, and it ends with musical sighs. The second movement alternates different sections of music, depicting her in a variety of a young girl’s moods: the teasing, lightly flirtatious scherzando; the elegant, waltzlike wienerish; the earthy rustico; and the unrestrained vivacity of “Trio 1.” Towards the end of the movement, we hear a Carinthian melody, a yodelling folksong, which the solo violin plays in duet with the French horn. Part Two is much darker. It opens with the sounds of suffering, agony, and torment. Soon, an inexorable death-march rhythm takes over and continues until the end of the movement, when we hear the girl’s screams for help. The fourth movement is the aftermath of the catastrophe. It begins with a quote from a Bach Chorale, with the wind section imitating a church organ. Then Berg introduces the lament (Klagegesang), an extended section where first one violin, then two, and finally the entire
violin section joins the soloist in grieving. As the movement ends, we hear the old Carinthian folksong as though from a distance, and then peace and transfiguration at last. Such is the official story of the Berg Violin Concerto. However, this extraordinary piece exists in multiple layers. Berg was a strong believer in numerology, including certain special numbers such as “23” for men and “28” for women. Berg therefore believed that it was no coincidence that his first asthma attack had occurred on July 23, at the age of 23. After Berg’s death (on December 23), researchers found a score to his Lyric Suite in which he had written many notes in the margins. These notes showed how he had carefully used certain numbers of measures to add up to multiples of 23, 28, and 10, the number he associated with his mistress, Hanna Fuchs. His note pitches also had extra meaning. He combined his own initials, AB, with his mistress’s initials, HF (H is German for B-flat), and he made sure that these notes appeared at key moments in the Lyric Suite. After this discovery, musicologists took the formulas found in the Lyric Suite and applied them to the Violin Concerto! 10s, 23s, and ABHFs turned up far too frequently to be anything less than a careful plan. You might be thinking to yourself that this academically interesting information doesn’t really enhance the musical experience for listeners. But all of these secret symbols led people to look closer at the story running through the Violin Concerto. If Berg was hiding 10s and 23s, what else was he hiding? Remember that yodelling Carinthian folktune which occurs prominently in both Parts? Berg was careful to cover any traces of the original source of the melody, but researchers unearthed it, and it turned out to have some pretty risque lyrics. “A bird on a plum tree has wakened me, Otherwise I would have overslept in Mizzi’s bed. The girl is Catholic and I am Protestant. She will surely put away the rosary in bed!” Berg’s pet name for Manon Gropius was “Mutzi,” meaning “beautiful.” Musicologists initially reasoned that Berg had suppressed these lyrics because they were inappropriate for the innocent Manon. As it turned out, Berg tried to hide the source of the song because it was all too revealing of a different young girl. When Berg was 17, he had fathered a child with a girl named Marie Scheuchl who worked in the kitchen of his family’s Carinthian vacation home. Marie’s nickname? Mitzi! Suddenly, we discover that the first part of the concerto
Program 4 Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra 2013-2014
Program is simultaneously remembering and describing Manon and another young girl from long ago. The Violin Concerto turned out to be the last work that Berg ever composed. He died of a bee sting before ever hearing the premiere. Thus, the first performance of the concerto, although intended as a requiem for Manon Gropius, turned out to be a requiem for Berg himself. Did he have a premonition of his death that affected the writing of the dramatic second part of the concerto? The facts are compelling. “AB”s and “23”s occur at key moments during the unfolding of the tragedy in the third movement. For example, the death-march begins at the 23rd measure. The Bach Chorale of movement four is especially interesting. It comes from Bach’s Cantata #60 of 1732, Dialogue between Fear and Hope. “It is enough! Lord, when it pleases Thee, Relieve me of my yoke! My Jesus comes: So goodnight now, O world! I’m going to my Heavenly home. I’ll surely journey there in peace, My great distress will stay below. It is enough. It is enough.” With these words, it seems out of place that Berg would indicate to the musicians to play amorously, dolorous, decided, sweet, resolute. If we think of this music as looking towards Berg’s own death, we realize that by dying he will join his beloved Hanna Fuchs in the afterlife. Our theory gains momentum when a prominent “ABHF” occurs right at the moment of transfiguration at the end of the concerto. So now we have two stories superimposed: a requiem for Manon, and an autobiographical account of Berg’s own life. (Well, most of his life anyway. In case you didn’t notice, Berg’s actual wife never is mentioned once in the music.) — Rachel Barton Pine JOHANNES BRAHMS (1833 – 1897) Symphony No. 4 in E Minor, Opus 98 Johannes Brahms’s first three symphonies owe a debt of musical gratitude to Beethoven, as each follows formal examples set forth by that giant. Brahms’s Fourth Symphony is different. Composed in the scenic Alpine resort of Mürzzuschlag, it does not reflect the lighter character of the previous two symphonies or the epic majesty of his first. In this work, perhaps more than any other, the listener can hear the great artistic argument of the day. Critics liked to compare the approaches of Brahms and Richard Wagner, and succeeded in creating adversarial feelings among the followers of each of the composers. After
all, Brahms was conservative and preferred a traditional approach to musical form. He created symphonies and concertos, string quartets and sonatas. Wagner was overtly innovative and did not compose in the traditional forms. Brahms wanted to be a successful composer while Wagner hoped to cause social revolution through his operas. Because of the stern character of Brahms’s Fourth Symphony, certain contemporary critics dismissed it as too pedantic—too Wagnerian. Having the advantage of over a century of retrospect, a fairer assessment would be that the symphony is meticulously crafted with every musical idea calculated to the finest detail. The motivic first movement is constructed from a rhythmic germ – short-long – and is cast in the traditional sonata form. This is pure Brahms with his lovely use of intervals of the third and sixth accompanying nearly every melody. Because of this, each theme seems to be gently cradled by the rest of the ensemble. The sorrowful second movement is a perfect example of how Brahms could make even a major key sound dark and brooding. Mournful and moving, this is the movement Richard Strauss described as a “funeral procession moving across moonlit heights.” Brahms’ third-movement scherzo is a rapid-tempo respite from the introspection of the second movement. Listen for the metallic interjections of the triangle and its sparkling contrast to the brooding textures. The finale is perhaps Brahms’s most supreme masterpiece of orchestral composition. Set in the form of a passacaglia (a Baroque form consisting of a repeated melodic pattern upon which melodic and harmonic variations are anchored), Brahms looks backward instead of forward. The creative process is laid bare before our eyes and ears, and we can follow the composer’s thought processes very closely. The movement opens with a harmonized statement of the passacaglia theme, which Brahms borrowed from J. S. Bach’s Cantata 150. Many scholars have speculated on Brahms’s intention, however we cannot forget that he composed this movement in the bicentennial year of Bach’s birth. Despite its meaning, the movement progresses through more than thirty variations that flow organically from one to the next. Despite this almost mechanical approach, the music is a transcendent and supremely emotional “mighty assertion of the spirit of man.” ©2013 Orpheus Music Prose & Craig Doolin

Friends of the Phil The Boulder Phil’s NEW musician chair sponsorship program By making a pledge of two or more years as a Friends of the Phil sponsor, you provide critical ongoing support to the orchestra by directly underwriting a portion of a professional musician’s salary. Hiring the most qualified musicians requires a substantial investment on our part—in fact, musician salaries represent the single largest expense in the Phil’s annual budget. Your participation in Friends of the Phil helps support these talented artists in our community. In addition, chair sponsorship expands your experience with the Boulder Phil in meaningful ways, giving you the chance to experience the orchestra from the inside out while forging a special connection between you and the performers on stage with special events and activities that bring sponsors and musicians together throughout the season. Pledge levels: SECTION CHAIR SPONSOR – A multi-year pledge of $250+ annually ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL CHAIR SPONSOR – A multi-year pledge of $500+ annually PRINCIPAL CHAIR SPONSOR – A multi-year pledge of $1,000+ annually We thank our inaugural program sponsors, who are listed alongside the names of their sponsored musicians on the orchestra roster page in this program. For more information about Friends of the Phil, please visit our website at www.BoulderPhil. org/friends-of-the-phil, or contact Director of Development Cynthia Sliker at 303-449-1343 x4 or csliker@boulderphil.org.

magine waking up in the morning, pouring your first steaming cup of coffee and stepping out from your spacious kitchen into your own private courtyard. The sun is rising and you hear the trickling water from your fountain and the quiet sounds of nature beginning the day. You nestle into your favorite outdoor chair, gaze into the beautiful clear skies, take a deep breath of the fresh Colorado air and appreciate being home. Later that day, you stroll down one of the scenic walking trails within the Goldbranch community. You stop to say hello to your neighbors as they enjoy a game of Bocce on one of the courts located in Goldbranch Village. You notice a red-tailed hawk landing in a towering blue spruce, and appreciate the wildlife you’re able to see along the riparian corridor that forms the northern properly line. The sun is beginning to set, painting the Colorado skies pink and gold. Your friends are about to arrive for a leisurely evening of dinner and reminiscing about your recent trip to Europe. There's no need to worry or stress; in this low-maintenance community, your yard work has already been done. Just before your guests arrive, you light your outdoor fireplace, pour yourself a glass of wine from your wine cellar, and watch the bright stars begin to emerge over the Rocky Mountains. After an enjoyable evening, as you rest comfortably in Goldbranch's private enclave, you think, "Life doesn't get any better than this."
