WELCOME Happy New Year! “New” is a word we use a lot at the Colorado Symphony. New means innovation, change, originality, and uniqueness – all elements of today’s Colorado Symphony. As CEO, I constantly seek new and creative ways to preserve the cultural legacy of symphonic music while actively co-creating its future. Over the past three years, we’ve reached a new height of artistic excellence and are now recognized as one the best orchestras in the United States. We’ve also made changes that reflect our embrace of the new – including new audiences. Take a look at the calendar. From traditional Masterwork and Pops to the new Colorado Symphony Presents series, you’ll see we offer a truly broad range of programming designed to appeal to a diverse audience. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or totally new to the experience, we want you to feel invited and welcome when you visit us at our home, Boettcher Concert Hall, or any of the community venues where we perform all season long. Over the past three years, the Colorado Symphony has developed a range of new initiatives to support its mission, including: • Creation of original musical content for corporate partners, including a theme song for Arrow Electronics and a soundtrack for the Colorado Rockies 2014 season. • High-profile creative collaborations with major cultural institutions including the Denver Art Museum and the Biennial of the Americas. • Partnerships with emerging Colorado industries including craft breweries and legal cannabis. • Embrace of digital and social media, increasing online audience engagement by 80% in a twelve-month period. • Targeted audience development initiatives that have increased attendance among younger, previously unaffiliated patrons by 40%. • Broad education programs that support lifelong learning among children and adults. • A community ticketing program that invites underserved families into the concert experience. Our initiatives are working – and gaining notice. This year, the Colorado Symphony was profiled by the world’s leading media outlets (including a feature in The New York Times). Every week, we see new people in the audience at Boettcher Concert Hall. It’s a thrill for all of us, especially our musicians. I hope you’re as excited as we are by all that awaits in the year ahead. Thank you for supporting the Colorado Symphony. We hope to delight you – and maybe even to surprise you – in 2015. Jerome H. Kern CEO / Co-chair of the Board of Trustees 6 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
COLORADO SYMPHONY GUILD
A
great city is defined by its arts and culture. The Colorado Symphony Guild believes our wonderful symphony orchestra is vital to the image and reality of a vibrant arts and culture scene in Denver. The Guild’s mission statement is clear that our purpose is “to support the orchestra…; [and] to foster and encourage musical appreciation, knowledge and participation of the membership and the public.” We are proud to have helped make the music happen in this great city for 80 years! The non-profit Colorado Symphony Guild was founded in 1935 by Mrs. Jean Chappell Cranmer, a cultural leader in Denver. Mrs. Cranmer recognized the potential value of organizing volunteers to support the Denver Symphony Orchestra, not only for annual fundraising campaigns, but to nurturer music appreciation and support of the arts by a broad spectrum of the community and to foster the next generation of concert audiences from among the youth in the city. Today the Symphony Guild numbers 300 dedicated members. Our volunteers plan and conduct major fundraising activities, assist at Colorado Symphony Kids concerts, participate in planning and staffing the annual Symphony Ball, and conduct music education seminars. Even The Shop in Boettcher is a Symphony Guild enterprise. When you purchase the marvelous clothing, jewelry or gifts which our buyer carefully selects from around the globe, you are supporting the Symphony. All income from The Shop and Guild fundraisers finds its way to the Colorado Symphony! Each of the Guild’s eight Chapters meets once a month for a business meeting, socializing and musical entertainment, often provided by Colorado Symphony musicians. Guild activities include: • October’s “Fall Fun and Fashions” event at Pinehurst Country Club. • A December Holiday Party at the Governor’s Residence. This year’s special guest was Scott O’Neil, Resident Conductor of the Colorado Symphony. • “Bach’s Lunch” when we serve a luncheon for orchestra musicians. • I n March we will inaugurate a fundraising breakfast at the Embassy Suites hotel for the downtown Denver corporate community. • J une 6 will see party guests in Diamonds and Denim, Boots and Bling at the Guild’s “Sparklin’ Western Affair” at the Denver West Marriott. Information for Guild events can be found on our web site, coloradosymphonyguild.org. Join us! Membership forms are available in the Boettcher Concert Hall Lobby or at coloradosymphony.org.

This March, the Colorado Symphony celebrates the legends, and lesser-known voices, of the American symphonic form. 16 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
L
eonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Samuel Barber: Three names that loom large in the canon of American symphonic music. All three greats feature prominently in the Colorado Symphony’s “American Festival,” Part I and II, which showcases masters who have created, perfected, and expanded the American idiom in symphonic music. So do Stephen Albert and Kevin Puts, two lesser-known modern composers whose works inform the evolving definition of American music. “The American Festival” concerts will occupy the stage of Boettcher Concert Hall three weeks throughout the month of March; Music Director Andrew Litton conducts. Opening the festival February 28, “The American Festival: Part I” features former Colorado Symphony principal clarinetist Bil Jackson, who returns to perform Kevin Puts’ Clarinet Concerto, originally premiered by the Colorado Symphony during the 2008/09 season, conducted by then Music

Anne Akiko Meyers will perform Barber’s Violin Concerto as part of the American Festival Part II, March 13-15. SOUNDINGS 2013/14 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG 17
Director Jeffrey Kahane. Puts, who currently serves as Composer in Residence with the Fort Worth Symphony, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Music, for Silent Night. The Colorado Symphony will perform his Two Mountain Scenes, which was jointly commissioned by the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and the New York Philharmonic and inspired by the lush mountainscapes of Colorado. Stephen Albert
Leonard Bernstein
The program concludes with Bernstein’s iconic The Age of Anxiety, Symphony No. 2, titled after W.H. Auden’s poem of the same name. “The American Festival: Part II” runs March 13-15 with Gershwin’s Cuban Overture: “Rhumba.” The transcendent Anne Akiko Meyers returns to perform Barber’s Violin Concerto, one of the most frequently performed concertos of the 20th century. RiverRun, a Pulitzer Prize-winning symphony by the late Stephen Albert, rounds out the eclectic program. A former Composer in Residence with the Seattle Symphony, Albert’s star was on the ascent when in 1992, he was killed in an automobile accident, at age 51. His influence transcended his short career: In 1995, he posthumously won a Grammy® for “Cello Concerto” as performed by Yo-Yo Ma.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT MEET CHRISTINA CARLSON :
FUNDRAISER, PHILANTHROPIST, COLORADO NATIVE When Christina Carlson joined the Colorado Symphony as Vice President of Development in October, she brought a wealth of experience within the non-profit sector, with an emphasis on human services and education. As a member of an Executive Leadership Team led by CEO and Board co-chair Jerome H. Kern, Christina manages strategic initiatives to develop and sustain new sources of contributed income, deepen partnerships with Colorado’s corporate and business communities, cultivate and nurture donors both new and traditional, and support the Colorado Symphony’s financial health in the short- and long-term. Before joining the CSO, Christina served as the Director of Development at DSST Public Schools and as the Executive Director of the Family & Intercultural Resource Center in Summit County. Christina’s professional background includes teaching, child protection case work, and fundraising. She has served on numerous non-profit boards and is currently the Vice Chair of The Odyssey School of Denver’s board. Christina was named Newsmaker of the Year in 2005 by the Summit Daily for her work surrounding immigrant integration. She holds a B.A. in Art History from Willamette University and an M.S.W. from the University of Denver. Christina spends her free time with her family which includes her husband John and children John and Samson. What most excites you about joining the Colorado Symphony? I’ve been a fan of the Colorado Symphony my whole life, and it’s an honor and a thrill to serve as its Vice President of Development. The Colorado Symphony is a vital cultural asset to Denver and the entire Western region; I’ve been impressed by the organization’s willingness to embrace innovation and change in its programming as well as its business model. I feel privileged to join such an innovative and collaborative organization that is so deeply committed to presenting excellent music that is both timeless and inspiring. Selfishly I am excited to get to attend concerts and other musical events under the guise of “work.” How lucky am I?
Why is it important to support the Colorado Symphony? Philanthropy is a Greek term which when directly translated means for the “love of mankind,” and who benefits more from music than mankind? Music is one of the things that makes us uniquely human and therefore is deeply deserving of all of our support. The Colorado Symphony is a critical thread in the fabric of this city and state. Our ongoing success is dependent on community and philanthropic support. You’re a Denver native. What makes Colorado such a special place to live? I am a Colorado girl though and though. Our incredible natural environment and the city of Denver provide the best of all worlds. The

weather is ideal, because if you don’t like the current condition just wait ten minutes and it likely to change. We see the sun almost every day. No matter what your passion is you can feed it here. We care deeply about our community and our environment. I love to ski, hike, eat out at a great restaurant, attend a sporting event, visit a museum with my kids, or attend a world class concert by the Colorado Symphony. I feel lucky to live in Colorado and am excited that my children Christina and her family hiking in Summit County, CO.
“Music is one of the things that makes us uniquely human and therefore is deeply deserving of all of our support.” get to grow up in a city and a state that provides excellent educational options, high quality cultural arts, and endless opportunity for outdoor adventure. What’s a typical Sunday like for you? I am at a stage in life where Sunday -- well maybe every day -- is a little nutty. I have two young children: John is six and Samson
is two. So you can imagine that life is busy and not entirely glamorous. Sundays often include grocery shopping, laundry, walking the dog, football, cooking, and hopefully a family show at the Colorado Symphony. Every once in a while my husband and I find time to have a conversation that is not about any of the aforementioned topics. Anything you’d like to add? Did you know that 100% of the musicians and staff at the Colorado Symphony made a financial donation to the Colorado Symphony this year? Please join us by making your first or an additional tax deductible financial contribution to the Colorado Symphony. There is a gift envelope in this Soundings that we will gratefully accept at the box office. You can take it home and stick it in the mail, or log on to coloradosymphony.org to make a donation.

SPOTLIGHT BIOGRAPHIES SCOTT O’NEIL, resident conductor This is Scott O’Neil’s ninth season with the Colorado Symphony, and his fourth full season as resident conductor. O’Neil maintains a strong commitment to making music of the highest quality accessible to young audiences. He served as associate conductor for the Utah Symphony, which he joined in August 2000. O’Neil studied piano performance at the Oberlin College Conservatory, served as the assistant conductor of the Eastman School Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras at the Eastman School of Music, and earned a master’s degree in orchestral conducting at Rice University, where he was the director of the Campanile Orchestra, a community/university orchestra. In the spring of 2003, O’Neil was selected by the League of American Orchestras to conduct an orchestra comprised of members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and advanced students from the University of Southern California in Synergy, a program created to promote young, contemporary composers. O’Neil is prominently featured with the Colorado Symphony as conductor and creator of the Inside the Score series, in addition to appearances on each of the Masterworks, Family, Pops and Holiday Series.
CAMERON CARPENTER, organ Cameron Carpenter is having a ball smashing the stereotypes of organists and organ music, and all the while generating international acclaim and controversy unprecedented in his field. Cameron’s repertoire — from the complete works of J. S. Bach to film scores, his original compositions and hundreds oftranscriptions and arrangements — is probably the largest and most diverse of any organist. He is the first ‘concert organist’ in history to prefer the digital organ to the pipe organ, and to champion it as the future of the instrument. In 2014, Cameron launched his International Touring Organ — a monumental cross-genre digital organ built by Marshall & Ogletree to his own design — in extensive tours in Europe and the USA. His Sony Music debut album If You Could Read My Mind entered Billboard’s Traditional Classical chart at No. 1 on its U.S. release. A former child prodigy, Cameron Carpenter trained at The American Boychoir School, the North Carolina School of the Arts and has two degrees from The Juilliard School. He holds the 2012 Leonard Bernstein Award, is the first solo organist ever nominated for a Grammy® Award for a solo album, and has appeared with many of the great orchestras around the world. He has spoken and debated at think tanks and conferences including TED, IdeaCity, The Entertainment Gathering, and many more. For more information please visit cameroncarpenter.com.

MASTERWORKS BIOGRAPHIES YUMI HWANG-WILLIAMS, violin Yumi Hwang-Williams made her debut at the age of 15 as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra, six years after having emigrated from South Korea. A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, her exceptional musicianship has earned her a reputation as an artist who, in addition to her thoughtful and stylish interpretations of the classics, is known for her commitment to exploring and performing the works of contemporary composers. Featured in a Strings magazine cover article in 2008, she was described as a “Modern Prometheus” who has “emerged as a fiery champion of contemporary classical music.” Her interpretations of works by Aaron Jay Kernis, Michael Daugherty and Christopher Rouse have earned unreserved approval from the composers as well as critical acclaim. She has performed Korean composer Isang Yun’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Basel Symphony Orchestra, Switzerland under the baton of Dennis Russell Davies who immediately invited her to play the concerto again with the Bruckner Orchester, in Linz, Austria in October 2009. Yumi Hwang-Williams has served as Concertmaster of the Colorado Symphony since 2000. She is also Concertmaster of the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, has performed as Guest Concertmaster for the National Arts Centre Orchestra, Ottawa, at the invitation of Music Director Pinchas Zukerman, and has been Guest First Violinist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. She is a faculty member of the Lamont School of Music, University of Denver.
BROOK FERGUSON, flute Hailed by The Washington Post as “brilliantly virtuosic,” flutist Brook Ferguson is a versatile solo and orchestral artist. The Miami Herald praised Ferguson’s performance of Carl Nielsen’s Concerto for Flute with the New World Symphony as “soaring, fraught with emotion, possessing sterling technique with pure tone, showing herself fully in synch with Nielsen’s enigmatic world, putting across the playfulness, passing shadows and sheer strangeness of this music with strong impact.” Ferguson was appointed Principal Flutist of the Colorado Symphony in 2010 and has appeared as Principal Flutist of the innovative River Oaks Chamber Orchestra since 2012. Previously, she completed a three-year fellowship with the New World Symphony, where she had the privilege of working with Michael Tilson Thomas and many other great musicians and conductors. She has made Principal appearances with the Grand Teton Festival Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony and the Pittsburgh Symphony. Prior to her appointment with the New World Symphony, Ferguson was the Acting Principal Flutist of the Knoxville Symphony and the Principal Flutist of the Delaware Symphony Orchestra. Ferguson received her Master of Music from Carnegie Mellon University as a student of Jeanne Baxtresser and Alberto Almarza and her Bachelor of Music and Graduate Performance Diploma from the Peabody Institute studying with the Marina Piccinini. Other important teachers and influences are Doriot Anthony Dwyer, Paula Robison and Mark Sparks.
MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES J.S. BACH: Concerto No. 5 in D major, BWV 1050 Scored for Flute, Violin, Harpsichord, and strings. Duration 21 minutes. Last performance was on April 1-3, 1999, with Marin Alsop conducting and soloists Pamela Endsley, flute; Yumi HwangWilliams, violin; and Kenneth Cooper, harpsichord. One of the signal achievements of the music of the Baroque era was inauguration of the concerto. The fundamental principle of the genre is the contrasting of a soloist, a group of soloists, or even two or more groups of musicians with each other during the course of a composition. Almost every significant composer of the time composed them, but none reached the zenith of achievement in the genre as did J. S. Bach in his six Brandenburg Concertos late in the style period. From 1717 until 1723 he was in the employ of Prince Leopold of Cöthen, a small court in eastern Germany. The Brandenburg Concertos stem from this time: the full score in Bach’s hand bears the date of 24 March 1721, but it is probable that simply marks the completion of the set; he certainly had been working on them over a period of time. They bear the title “Brandenburg Concertos” owing to their dedication to the Margrave of Brandenburg, Christian Ludwig. Bach had played before him earlier in Berlin and the concertos were the result of an invitation to provide some works for the Margrave. Nothing came of it—no money, no thanks, not even a by your leave. But the Margrave’s loss is posterity’s gain. Bach’s soaring imagination comes to the fore in the Brandenburg Concertos in many ways, not the least of which is his striking use of a variety of instruments in various combinations. In addition to the normal body of strings that is familiar, we encounter trumpet, recorders, French horns, oboes, flute, violino piccolo, violas, violas da gamba, and harpsichord. The combination of flute, violin, and keyboard was a common chamber ensemble during Bach’s time, and in No. 5 he uses that combination as his solo group, accompanied by a small orchestra (the ripieno). This is the first composition of his oeuvre wherein Bach calls for the transverse flute, so familiar today, and not the recorder. The soloists are supported by an omnipresent pair, consisting of a keyboard and a bass instrument, the continuo—a group whose importance in Baroque music one wag once compared to the “ . . . presence of the Holy Spirit—subtle, and conspicuous only in Its absence.” As with most Baroque music, prepare for long phrases, literally “spun out,” as the faster sections take their time to reach a pause. Melodies tend toward short motives that often “chug” along in a relentless motoric, but charming fashion. Economy of means is an artistic virtue— making the most of little—and Bach was the master of it. The slow movements, while still exhibiting the long phrases of the faster ones, generally fashion their melodies, not out of short incisive motives, but seemingly as long-breathed instrumental “operatic arias.” The Italian vocal influence is unmistakable here, and again, it is one of Bach’s defining traits. The first movement opens with the recurring “main theme” played by all, followed by sections that feature the soloists—alone and answering back and forth between each other with contrasting material. From time to time the ripieno will return with the familiar opening theme. While the parts for the solo violin and flute are certainly of great merit, it is the role of the keyboard that is renowned in the first movement. Finally, the keyboard player gets to SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 7
MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES step to the front of the stage! In contradistinction to that instrument’s part in all of the other Brandenburg Concertos, in this movement it is not a “backup” instrument, but a real soloist. Usually, in the somewhat “jazz rhythm section” tradition of the era, the keyboard player literally improvised his own part according to the indicated chords. Now, however, Bach has written out a true virtuosic part. While sounding somewhat like an improvised cadenza, it is in fact a remarkable, composed solo passage that reflects the composer’s own stunning executant ability. A return of the ripieno with the opening material closes out the movement. The slow, middle movement features only the three soloists. The last movement is a sprightly jig that is quickly joined by the ripieno. Here, as in all Baroque music, there is no question of a “development” of musical ideas that we find in later eras, but rather, a charming alternation of a familiar returning idea, contrasted with an ever-new succession of fresh ideas. Not unlike dolphins happily swapping jumps and dives in the front of a ship, the soloists and ripieno careen to the end.
o ANTON BRUCKNER: Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, “Romantic” 1888 3rd version; Benjamin Korstvedt, editor. Scored for 3 flutes, pairs of oboes, clarinets, and bassoons; 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings. Duration is 64 minutes. Last performed on April 1 & 2, 2007, with Peter Oundjian on the podium. It’s common musicological coin to observe that there is little in the life and personality of Anton Bruckner that informs our understanding and appreciation of his music. While he composed a large body of significant sacred vocal music, it is his nine symphonies (the last not completed) that have established his importance as a major composer of the late nineteenth century. His is the story of a provincial man of extremely modest origins, of little early genius, and who endured decades of obscurity. And yet, despite inordinately long years of assiduous study and an innate obsequiousness, his patience gradually yielded widespread recognition of his talents and creations in early old age. Even at the end of his active career, when he held a prestigious position teaching music theory at the Vienna Conservatory, he remained a curious rustic, simple in his eccentric ways, and naïve in the ways of the world. Many musical notables of his time could not restrain from ridiculing his peasant ways, his remarkable penchant for seeking hopeless relations with teenage girls, his bouts with obsessive counting of everything—including leaves on trees—and a bizarre fascination with the dead. That’s certainly burden enough on one’s chances of artistic success in the elegant, intellectual world of nineteenth-century Vienna, and yet Bruckner’s symphonies have come to assume an essential position in the development of that genre in late Romantic musical style. Though unique, they are nonetheless a link in the chain of evolution PROGRAM 8 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES of the Austro-German symphonic tradition--from Beethoven and Schubert through to Gustav Mahler. While laboring in obscurity as a village schoolmaster, music teacher, and organist, his assiduous musical studies—right into his forties—gradually enabled him to develop a remarkable personal vision of symphonic form, texture, and psychological content. His works are (in)famously long, repetitious, frequently really loud, often dense in texture, heavy with the brass, make frequent use of a rather rare rhythmic figure (more on this later), teeming with contrapuntal motifs, and often seem static in the absence of a sense of development and forward motion. But—these traits are not fatal, or even criticisms. They are an essential part of magnificent sound structures whose mystical, euphonious—and often recondite---nature unfolds at a leisurely pace, the musical logic of which often eludes one until the end. He was a master of harmony and counterpoint, owing not only to his long years as a church organist and respected improviser on that instrument, but also to his detailed study of the subject, finally succeeding his famous teacher in Vienna at the Conservatory. His mastery of the richness of late-Romantic harmony often yields startling juxtapositions of chords and keys, unprepared dissonances, and advanced sonorities, but those are necessary elements of his pushing the musical boundaries of the time. He crafted new and involved systems of phrase structure and metrical analysis, and altered ways in which musical “landmarks” appear as his movements unfold. That’s a lot, no doubt, and accounts for much of the “Bruckner sound” for the listener. Yet, notwithstanding all of these particular contributions to the development of the symphony, there is so much of the familiar in his approach. His works are in the conventional four movements, with variants of sonata form flanking the usual interior slow and scherzo/ trio movements. The orchestral instruments are the usual for the time, except in the last three symphonies, which bring in Wagnerian tubas as reinforcement for the horn section. Unlike his successor and admirer, Gustav Mahler, he felt no existential need to incorporate the human voice, birdcalls, maudlin village bands, bundles of switches, mandolins, cowbells, and other novelties in the search for personal expression. In general, while much has been previously made of his admiration for Wagner and that musical style—it is generally clear to most, now, that his fundamental orientation is to the tradition of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert. He simply pushed the conventions of the symphony much further than did, say, Brahms. Given the constant revisions that he and his associates made to his symphonies, the many manuscript and printed versions, and even the two major collected scholarly editions of his oeuvre, there are multiple versions of all of them. His Fourth Symphony exists in at least three major versions. The one that will be performed here is basically the “third” version from 1888—in yet a new edition, based upon the latest scholarship. While the “second” version saw far more performances in the last halfcentury or so, the “third” is enjoying a renaissance. The first movement begins with a typical Bruckner trait: a shimmering “halo” of strings from which mist the signature horn theme appears. The horn, of course, is the most “romantic” of instruments, and its choice here is not fortuitous—Bruckner’s adroit scoring imaginatively evokes the antique, and the instrument’s sound comes almost to dominate the whole work.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES As a conservative composer Bruckner did not plaster descriptive terms or programs to his works, but the Fourth Symphony is an exception, hence the moniker, “Romantic”-–in the sense of a medieval tale. He left behind several versions of the vague programmatic elements that underlay this work, and the idea of a brass instrument sounding the dawn from high in a tower is our inspiration here. At a leisurely pace the idea grows, replete with intimations of nature awakening and knights riding out on “proud steeds.” Finally, a huge orchestral swell leads from this tranquility to the advent of the heavy brass with the central theme of the movement, in his famous 2+3 rhythm. After an exploration of this stentorian idea, contrasting, lighter themes eventually arrive, redolent of graceful Austrian dances reminiscent of Schubert—replete, here, with the composer’s penchant for abrupt forays into distant keys. Soft, spooky, woodwind solos; quiet textures over rolling timpani; exuberant outbursts from the brass; and the opening horn motif are woven throughout the development, ending with a glorious brass chorale filling the hall. Bruckner is known for his innovations in musical architecture, and the recap is typical. It is not a literal recapitulation of the opening section, but takes its time to explore the material further, and not in a way that implies a looming close. Rather, his extensive coda ultimately gives the ear the harmonic signs that we have, at last, reached the denouement—signaled by dynamic unison horns proclaiming the opening motif. Like his idol, Wagner, Bruckner takes his time. Bruckner’s slow movements are usually audience favorites, and this one is a particularly charming one, starting with a doleful tune over a “walking” bass. Later, a contrasting section offers a soft chorale. Moods and ideas alternate, including some cheerful moments, but Bruckner being Bruckner, this meditative interlude leads to an inevitable heroic triumph before the pensive end. The scherzo and trio is the composer’s new one for the second version of the symphony from 1878. Deemed a “Jagd” (Hunting) scherzo by the composer, this movement also takes its programmatic inspiration from the Middle Ages. Unusually, the outer sections are not in the traditional three-beat meter, but in duple time, and are an absolute tour-de-force for virtuosic horn display—and all the brass, for that matter. Horses, dogs, deer—and horns--to the fore! The middle section is a gentle, Schubert-like Austrian Ländler, which Bruckner characterized as a mid-day repast for the hunters. The finale, like the previous movement, is a significantly revised one. Opening with a long, throbbing pedal in the basses, tension builds as the horns and others intone a variant on a familiar motif that leads into a fortissimo imprecation from the brass of granite-like strength. Only Bruckner could have written and scored this, but it is certainly suggestive of the Wagner he adored—shades of Wotan’s Farewell. Soon the contrasting second group arrives, accompanied by the throbbing of the opening and we’re surrounded by a bucolic Austrian atmosphere. But, even in these salubrious tunes, listen for the inevitable interjection of the flatted scale step that has informed so much of this symphony—from beginning to end. It’s difficult to follow the ins and outs of Bruckner’s creative manipulations of sonata form, here, but the unity of the materials is palpable, nonetheless. Motifs, scale alterations, and the ubiquitous Bruckner 2+3 rhythm

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES are all woven together as the finale unfolds at a leisurely pace, constantly shifting in moods. The long coda finally brings a sense of finality, in a buildup that is a sonic and psychological marvel. Probably far too much has been averred about the “influence” wrought by Wagner on his acolyte, Bruckner. But there can be no question but that while the former’s fingerprints are frequent in the latter’s work, Bruckner borrowed abstemiously and paid back with interest. He created his own, unique masterpieces, and this work is a noble and distinguished example. --Wm. E. Runyan
