Welcome to Boettcher Concert Hall and to this performance of your Colorado Symphony! The ensemble on stage represents the core of a community of musicians and conductors who are supported by music library staff, a stage crew, and an administrative team whose talents and hard work combine to bring you the music you are about to enjoy. John Burtness

Beyond our staff and musicians are groups of Trustees, Guild Chief Advancement Officer members, REMIX young professionals, and several thousand donors who provide the financial platform to make this music possible. Most of our donors are also subscribers or regular ticket buyers whose investment in the Symphony is a response to their positive experiences at concerts in Boettcher Concert Hall and throughout Colorado. Dozens of corporations and foundations also contribute based on their belief in the power of bringing performing arts to a flourishing community. In addition to annual contributions, an operating endowment provides a predictable and perpetual source of funds to help finance our annual budget. Together, annual contributions and distributions from the endowment provide just under half of the funds needed for our operations. This season we inaugurated three new endowed chairs that recognize significant contributions to our operating endowment, including:  The Tom and Noëy Congdon Chair for Assistant Principal Flute  The Merle Chambers Chair for the Assistant Concertmaster  The Fred and Margaret Hoeppner Chair for Principal Cello given by an

anonymous donor These gifts have helped grow our endowment to $24 million and contribute to our recently launched endowment campaign aimed at building this fund to $50 million. The campaign received an enormous boost when the Avenir Foundation offered to match new gifts to the Symphony’s endowment dollar-for-dollar though June 2020. To learn more about this campaign, please give me a call at 303-308-2495. Thank you for your continued patronage and support of your Colorado Symphony. In gratitude, John Burtness Chief Advancement Officer 6

STORIES OF NOTE

Colorado Symphony Chorus at 35 By Nick Dobreff

Throughout time, many of history’s greatest symphonic compositions — from Orff’s Carmina Burana to Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and the Verdi Requiem — have reached transcendent levels of beauty through the marriage and interplay between instrument and voice. For nearly 35 years, audiences in Colorado have had the unique pleasure to witness many of these masterworks and more in large part because of the Colorado Symphony Chorus. The 2018/19 Colorado Symphony season marks the 35th year of the Colorado Symphony Chorus (CSC). Founded in 1984 by Chorus Director Duain Wolfe, the CSC PHOTOS BY BRANDON MARSHALL

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

has earned a reputation as one of the finest symphonic choruses in the United States, performing annually in Boettcher Concert Hall and across Colorado. In a situation unique and exceedingly rare to many United State orchestras, the Colorado Symphony supports their own chorus as an integral element of the organization, giving it the ability to perform works that are otherwise too expensive or logistically impossible to achieve. “As Colorado Symphony audience members and music lovers all over the state know, we are so fortunate to have a world-class symphony chorus right here in our own backyard,” said Brett Mitchell, Music Director. “Duain Wolfe, Mary Louise Burke, the singers of the Colorado Symphony Chorus, and their entire team put an enormous amount of love and dedication into every performance, which is why it’s always a thrill and an honor to share the stage with them.” The storied history of the Colorado Symphony Chorus begins with Wolfe, who was charged with forming the ensemble in 1984. Known then as the Denver Symphony Chorus, the 140-voice ensemble made its debut October 25, 1984 in a performance of Verdi’s Requiem. “The Music Director of the Denver Symphony Orchestra at the time, Gaetano Delogu, wanted a chorus whose primary purpose would be to collaborate with the orchestra on the great masterworks,” said Wolfe. “I was asked to form this chorus, so we held auditions, set a rehearsal schedule for the debut piece, Verdi’s great Requiem, and the rest is history.” For 35 years, Wolfe has provided consummate leadership and an unparalleled artistic vision for the ensemble, helping it to achieve a distinguished reputation throughout the world. The recipient of two Grammy® Awards for Best Choral Performance and Best Classical Recording (Verdi Requiem), Wolfe has also served as director of the Chicago Symphony Chorus for 25 years. In addition, he founded and conducted the Colorado Children’s Chorale (CCC) prior to retiring from the position in 1999 and now serves as conductor laureate for the ensemble. “We have, in chorus director Duain Wolfe, a musician with remarkable training and talent, and he sets the bar for excellence in choral singing exceptionally high,” said SOUNDINGS

2018/19

STORIES OF NOTE Eric Israelson, Chorus Manager. “His sense of correct style, impeccable rhythm, and uncompromising attention to detail has brought widespread acclaim for this chorus of volunteer singers.” Today, the Colorado Symphony Chorus is made up of 200 volunteer musicians — 130 women and 70 men — who are selected through an audition process. Among them are eight husband and wife couples, two mother/daughter duos and one father/ daughter pair. There are also nine charter members of the ensemble who still sing with the chorus today. In addition, the Colorado Symphony Chorus includes four conductors (Duain Wolfe, Associate Conductor Mary Louise Burke, and Assistant Conductors Travis Branam and Taylor Martin), three pianists (Brian Dukeshier, Hslao-Ling Lin, and Danni Snyder), and two managers / librarians (Eric Israelson and Barbara Porter) who enable the chorus to fulfill its mission year after year. Chorus rehearsals are held at Trinity United Methodist Church — the oldest church in Denver. In an average season, the Colorado Symphony Chorus participates in 50 rehearsals supporting 30 performances. For each chorus member, that can mean as many as 240 hours per year. “To meet the performing needs of the Colorado Symphony concert season, the members of this chorus dedicate an enormous number of volunteer hours,” added Wolfe. “Not only do they commit to their weekly rehearsals on Tuesday evenings, they also contribute six more evenings during each concert week. This is a commitment that touches not only the singers themselves, but also their families. The essence of their dedication becomes a family investment, an extended investment in the arts that reflects the dedication of many more people than we see on stage.” Many chorus members live in Denver but several travel greater distances in order to sing in the ensemble including members from Erie, Brighton, Fraser, Castle Rock, Evergreen, Fort Morgan, Longmont, Fort Collins, Boulder, Parker, and Greeley. “Through careful recruiting, auditioning, orientation, and training, we have assembled an ensemble of singers who are willing to follow Maestro Wolfe’s direction, devote up 18

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

to 240 hours a season, and maintain a sense of collaboration and fellowship unique in volunteer ensembles,” added Israelson. Starting with Gaetano Delogu in 1984, the Colorado Symphony Chorus has performed under six Colorado Symphony music directors, including Philippe Entremont, Marin Alsop, Jeffrey Kahane, Andrew Litton, and currently under Brett Mitchell. While many Colorado Symphony Chorus performances take place at Boettcher Concert Hall, the chorus also performs at numerous venues throughout Colorado. For 25 summers, the CSC has performed at the Aspen Music Festival and 12 summers with the Bravo! Vail Music Festival. The chorus has also performed with the Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson and the Colorado Music Festival in Boulder. In addition, they’ve appeared on stage at many of the top venues in Colorado including the Buell Theater, Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, Macky Auditorium Concert Hall, Pepsi Center, Chautauqua Auditorium, Newman Center for the Performing Arts, Arvada Center, Vilar Performing Arts Center, and Fiddlers Green Amphitheatre. The impact of the Colorado Symphony Chorus has also been felt outside the state including performances in nine United States cities and seven cities in Europe. That included a two-week tour in 2009 celebrating the chorus’ 25th anniversary with Wolfe conducting the Verdi Requiem in Budapest, Vienna, Litomyšl, and Prague and a 2016 concert tour through Paris, Strasbourg, and Munich.

2018/19

STORIES OF NOTE “I have always been impressed by the singers’ level of excellence, and also by the tremendous commitment involved,” said Mary Louise Burke, Associate Director, Colorado Symphony Chorus. “Our members come from all walks of life, and bring to our chorus a great variety of past musical experience. Both individually and as a group, they make an ongoing commitment to excellence in many areas: vocal, musical, and dramatic. Furthermore, off the stage, our singers are powerful ambassadors in the communities of Denver, Colorado, and Europe.” In addition to their performances with the Colorado Symphony, the CSC has shared the stage with a host of renowned orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Dallas Symphony, Aspen Festival Orchestra, and Philadelphia Orchestra. They have also performed masterworks under the baton of notable conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Alan Gilbert, David Zinman, Robert Spano, and Jaap Van Zweden. The CSC has been featured in seven Colorado Symphony recordings, including the Berlioz setting of Hymne des Marseillais (1988), Too Hot to Handel (2004), Harris: Symphonies No. 3 and 4 (2006), Denler: Portraits of Colorado – American Symphony No. 1, Six Variations for violin and piano (2013), Vaughan Williams: Dona nobis pacem Stephen Hough: Missa Mirabilis (2015), Beethoven Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 (2017), and William Hill’s The Raven (2018). None of this would be possible without the time and efforts of a dedicated management staff that oversees all 200 musicians as well as the scheduling of rehearsals, distribution of music, travel planning, and more. “Our management team is able to foresee and accommodate the needs of both the director and the singers, providing a conducive environment with the necessary space, materials, and organizational detail,” added Israelson. “The result is a chorus of singers, which, with their associated orchestra, provides to the audiences of Colorado and beyond, a resource equal to any, and better than most, in the world. Adept at presenting the music of film scores, the best of Broadway and Hollywood, as well as the enduring classics of the choral literature, it serves to enrich the lives of all who have occasion to experience it.”

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

With a group of dedicated musicians, a renowned chorus director, and a dedicated support staff, the Colorado Symphony Chorus continues to excel nearing their fourth decade of existence. “Over the course of the 35-year history of the chorus, many singers have made this commitment to excellence,” added Burke. “In the next 35 years, we look forward to including many new singers in our Colorado Symphony family of wonderful musicians, celebrating many more decades of memorable performances.” “I am extraordinarily proud of this chorus and what it has become over the decades — a first class ensemble that performs at very high standards, complementing the standards of this remarkable orchestra,” said Wolfe. “It has continued to mold and maintain its classical sound while also meeting the diverse challenges of other repertoire — films, Broadway musicals, and pops. This is not an easy feat, but it is a significant hallmark of this chorus." For the last 35 years, the Colorado Symphony Chorus has shared the great musical masterworks of the world with hundreds of thousands of arts patrons from Colorado to Europe. In performances with the Colorado Symphony and other renowned orchestras, they’ve helped spread an appreciation for symphonic music across the Centennial State and beyond. As the ensemble looks towards the future, they’ll continue to bring the best in symphonic choral music to audiences at Boettcher Concert Hall while upholding an artistic standard that is second to none.

BRETT MITCHELL, conductor Hailed for presenting engaging, in-depth explorations of thoughtfully curated programs, Brett Mitchell began his tenure as Music Director of the Colorado Symphony in July 2017. Prior to this appointment, he served as the orchestra’s Music Director Designate during the 2016/17 season. He leads the orchestra in ten classical subscription weeks per season as well as a wide variety special programs featuring such guest artists as Renée Fleming, Yo-Yo Ma, and Itzhak Perlman. Mitchell is also in consistent demand as a guest conductor. Highlights of his 2018/19 season include subscription debuts with the Minnesota Orchestra and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and return appearances with the orchestras of Cleveland, Dallas, and Indianapolis. Other upcoming and recent guest engagements include the Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, National, Oregon, and San Antonio symphonies, the Grant Park Festival Orchestra, the Rochester Philharmonic, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Mitchell also regularly collaborates with the world’s leading soloists, including Yo-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming, Rudolf Buchbinder, Kirill Gerstein, James Ehnes, Augustin Hadelich, Leila Josefowicz, and Alisa Weilerstein. From 2013 to 2017, Mitchell served on the conducting staff of The Cleveland Orchestra. He joined the orchestra as Assistant Conductor in 2013, and was promoted to Associate Conductor in 2015, becoming the first person to hold that title in over three decades and only the fifth in the orchestra’s hundred-year history. In these roles, he led the orchestra in several dozen concerts each season at Severance Hall, Blossom Music Center, and on tour. From 2007 to 2011, Mitchell led over one hundred performances as Assistant Conductor of the Houston Symphony. He also held Assistant Conductor posts with the Orchestre National de France, where he worked under Kurt Masur from 2006 to 2009, and the Castleton Festival, where he worked under Lorin Maazel in 2009 and 2010. In 2015, Mitchell completed a highly successful five-year appointment as Music Director of the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra. As an opera conductor, Mitchell has served as music director of nearly a dozen productions, principally at his former post as Music Director of the Moores Opera Center in Houston, where he led eight productions from 2010 to 2013.

KELLEY O’CONNOR, mezzo-soprano Possessing a voice of uncommon allure, musical sophistication far beyond her years, and intuitive and innate dramatic artistry, the GRAMMY® Awardwinning mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor has emerged as one of the most compelling performers of her generation. During the 2018/19 season, the artist’s impressive symphonic calendar features Mahler’s Second Symphony with Andrés Orozco-Estrada and the Houston Symphony, his Third Symphony with Donald Runnicles and the Grand Teton Music Festival Orchestra, Michael Stern and the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra, and with Andrés Orozco-Estrada and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and Das Lied von der Erde both with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Sought after by many of the most heralded composers of the modern day, O’Connor gives the world premiere of Joby Talbot’s A Sheen of Dew on Flowers with the Britten Sinfonia at the Victoria & Albert Museum to celebrate the opening of the institution’s new jewellery wing, debuts with the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in the title role of John Adams’ The Gospel According to the Other Mary under the baton of the composer, presents the west coast premiere of Bryce Dessner’s Voy a Dormir with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra led by Jaime Martín, and brings Peter Lieberson’s Neruda Songs to life in performance in St. Louis and Colorado. O’Connor returns to the Los Angeles Philharmonic for a Stravinsky Festival singing multiple works there under the direction of Esa-Pekka Salonen and she assays the title role of Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia presented by Boston Lyric Opera in a new production by Broadway theater director Sarna Lapine conducted by David Angus.

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES BERNARD HERRMANN (1911-1975): Prelude and “Scène d’Amour” from Vertigo Bernard Herrmann was born June 29, 1911 in New York City and died December 24, 1975 in Los Angeles. He composed the music for Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo in 1958. The score calls for three flutes, two oboes, English horn, three clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, celesta, and strings. Duration is about 10 minutes. The last performance by the orchestra was November 6-7, 1998, conducted by John Mauceri. Bernard Herrmann, born in New York in 1911, graduated from NYU and made his debut as composer and conductor on Broadway with his score for a ballet scene in the 1932 show Americana. Two years later, he was appointed to the musical staff of CBS, where he was responsible for providing background music for several radio series, including Orson Welles’ The Mercury Theatre on the Air. (Herrmann was a collaborator on the famous 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast that panicked the nation.) When Welles moved to Hollywood to produce Citizen Kane, he took along Herrmann as his composer. The music Herrmann provided for that epochal movie became the touchstone of his work in Hollywood, and a paragon of the symphonic score precisely integrated into the drama on the screen; it was nominated for an OSCAR®. For the next quarter century, Herrmann was one of the busiest composers in Hollywood, creating his most outstanding work for the medium with Alfred Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Wrong Man, Vertigo, North by Northwest, Psycho and Marnie. Hitchcock’s masterful psychological thriller Vertigo (1958) concerns Scottie Ferguson (played by James Stewart), a San Francisco police detective who has been forced into early retirement because a rooftop chase that resulted in the death of another office has caused him to suffer from extreme fear of heights. The climax of the plot finds Scottie at the top of the bell tower of a mission church trying to prevent what he thinks will be the tempted suicide of the woman (Kim Novak) he has come to love during the case. The Prelude, with its portentous mood, fragmented melody and obsessively repeating figures, provides the musical gateway for this gripping tale. The Scène d’Amour accompanies the lovers’ first embrace.

PETER LIEBERSON (1946-2011): Neruda Songs for Mezzo-Soprano and Orchestra Peter Lieberson was born October 25, 1946 in New York City and died April 23, 2011 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The Neruda Songs, composed in 2005, were premiered on May 20, 2005 in Los Angeles, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen with Lorraine Hunt Lieberson as soloist. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, oboe, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, percussion, harp, piano, and strings. Duration is about 32 minutes. The last performance of Neruda Songs took place January 15-17, 2010. Jeffrey Kahane conducted the orchestra, and Kelley O’Connor was the mezzo soprano. Peter Lieberson, born in New York City in 1946, was the son of composer, music critic, and Columbia Records executive Goddard Lieberson and Vera Zorina, a famed ballerina with the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo (her first husband was George Balanchine) and later a specialist in spoken concert narration. Peter early showed a pronounced talent for music, but he took his undergraduate degree in English literature from New York University before turning to formal SOUNDINGS

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES music study, first privately with Milton Babbitt and then at Columbia with Charles Wuorinen. In 1972, Lieberson became an assistant to Leonard Bernstein and an assistant producer of the CBS Young People’s Concerts. In 1976, Lieberson encountered Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, which he studied in Boulder, Colorado for the next five years, becoming advanced enough in its practice by 1981 to move to Boston to direct Shambhala Training, a meditation and cultural program. During that period, he also completed his doctoral studies at Brandeis. Lieberson taught at Harvard from 1984 to 1988, after which he lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where he served as international director of Shambhala Training while also pursuing his career as a composer. He moved to Santa Fe in 1998. In 2006 he was diagnosed with lymphoma, and died on April 23, 2011 while receiving medical treatment in Tel Aviv. Lieberson’s distinctions included an award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters, Grawemeyer Award from the University of Louisville, Brandeis Creative Arts Award, and induction into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Lieberson first met the American mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt during rehearsals for his opera Ashoka’s Dream in Santa Fe in July 1997. He was struck not just by the way she projected what he called “the power of the melodic line” but also that she was “so unafraid of her emotions, so able to access and express those emotions. There was no artifice.” Professional respect quickly blossomed into love, and they were married in April 1999. Lieberson first wrote for his wife two years later — settings of five poems by Rilke — and when he was offered a joint commission by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Boston Symphony in 2003, he chose to fulfill it with another song cycle for Lorraine, this one based on poems from the 100 Love Sonnets (1960) by the Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. In 2005, just as the Neruda Songs were nearing completion, Lorraine was diagnosed with cancer, but she was able to premiere the work in Los Angeles in May and perform it again in Boston (where it was recorded live with James Levine by Nonesuch) and Cleveland before she died in July 2006; she was 52. The recording of the Neruda Songs won a 2007 Grammy Award, and the work received the following year’s coveted Grawemeyer Award. Lieberson wrote, “Each of the five poems I set to music seemed to me to reflect a different face in love’s mirror. The first poem, If your eyes were not the color of the moon, is pure appreciation of the beloved. The second, Love, love, the clouds went up the tower of the sky like triumphant washerwomen, is joyful and also mysterious in its evocation of nature’s elements: fire, water, wind, and luminous space. The third poem, Don’t go far off, not even for a day, reflects the anguish of love, the fear and pain of separation. The fourth poem, And now you’re mine. Rest with your dream in my dream, is complex in its emotional tone. First there is the exultance of passion. Then, gentle, soothing words lead the beloved into the world of rest, sleep, and dream. Finally, the fifth poem, My love, if I die and you don’t, is very sad and peaceful at the same time. There is the recognition that no matter how blessed one is with love, there will be a time when we must part from those whom we cherish. Still, Neruda reminds one that love has not ended. In truth there is no real death to love nor even a birth: ‘It is like a long river, only changing lands, and changing lips.’”

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES DAVID DIAMOND (1915-2005): Music for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet David Diamond was born July 9, 1915 in Rochester, New York and died there June 13, 2005. His Music for Romeo and Juliet was composed in 1947 and premiered on October 20, 1947 in New York City by the Little Orchestral Society, conducted by Thomas Scherman. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, trombone, timpani, percussion, harp, and strings. Duration is about 24 minutes. This is the first performance by the orchestra. David Diamond, born in Rochester, New York in 1915, began “composing” as a small boy in a notation of his own invention. Financial difficulties in 1927 forced the family to live with relatives in Cleveland, where David received his first musical training at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The family returned to Rochester in 1929, and in 1933 he entered the Eastman School of Music, but a year later he moved to New York City, where he supported himself with odd jobs while studying at the New Music School Institute. In 1935, Diamond’s Sinfonietta won the $2,500 first prize in a competition sponsored by bandleader Paul Whiteman; George Gershwin was one of the judges. He continued his studies in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, meeting and receiving inspiration from Stravinsky, Ravel, Roussel, Charles Munch, and André Gide during his stay. With the outbreak of World War II, he returned to the United States, composing steadily during those years and receiving important commissions, performances, and awards. He returned to Europe on a Fulbright Fellowship in 1951, and settled in Florence for the next fourteen years. After attending a concert of his music in honor of his fiftieth birthday at the Aspen Festival in Colorado in 1965, Diamond remained in this country, teaching at the Manhattan School of Music for two years before moving to Rochester to devote himself entirely to composition until 1973, when he joined the faculty of the Juilliard School. He was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1966, and appointed its vice-president in 1974. In 1995, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts at a ceremony held at the White House. He died in Rochester on June 13, 2005. Diamond composed his Music for Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” not as incidental music for the theater but as a concert suite for the inaugural program of the Little Orchestral Society on October 20, 1947 in New York. Diamond said that in this music he attempted “to convey as fully and yet as economically as possible the innate beauty and pathos of Shakespeare’s great drama without resorting to a large orchestral canvas and a definite musical form.” The five movements capture focal points in the tragedy and depict the story’s main protagonists: Overture, Balcony Scene, Romeo and Friar Laurence, Juliet and Her Nurse, and The Death of Romeo and Juliet. In 1951, Diamond was asked to use his suite for a production of the play on Broadway starring Olivia de Havilland, but he refused the producers’ request to alter the score and instead wrote completely new incidental music.

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES LEONARD BERNSTEIN (1918-1990): Symphonic Dances from West Side Story Leonard Bernstein was born August 25, 1918 in Lawrence, Massachusetts and died October 14, 1990 in New York City. West Side Story was composed in 1957 and opened on Broadway on September 26, 1957, conducted by Max Goberman; the Symphonic Dances were premiered in concert on February 13, 1961 in New York, conducted by Lukas Foss. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, E-flat clarinet, two B-flat clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano, celesta, and strings. Duration is about 21 minutes. The last performance by the orchestra was conducted by Christopher Dragon, March 18-20, 2016. West Side Story was one of the first musicals to explore a serious subject with wide social implications. More than just the story of the tragic lives of ordinary people in a grubby section of New York, it was concerned with urban violence, juvenile delinquency, clan hatred, and young love. The show was criticized as harshly realistic by some who advocated an entirely escapist function for the musical, depicting things that were not appropriately shown on the Broadway stage. Most, however, recognized that it expanded the scope of the musical through references both to classical literature (Romeo and Juliet) and to the pressing problems of modern society. Brooks Atkinson, former theater critic for The New York Times, noted in his book Broadway that West Side Story was “a harsh ballad of the city, taut, nervous and flaring, the melodies choked apprehensively, the rhythms wild, swift and deadly.” Much of the show’s electric atmosphere was generated by its brilliant dance sequences, for which Jerome Robbins won the 1958 Tony Award® for choreography. In 1961, Bernstein chose a sequence of dance music from West Side Story to assemble as a concert work, and Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal executed the orchestration of these “Symphonic Dances” under the composer’s direction. Bernstein said that he called these excerpts “symphonic” not because they were arranged for full orchestra but because many of them grew, like a classical symphony, from a few basic themes transformed into a variety of moods to fit the play’s action and emotions. ©2019 Dr. Richard E.
