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

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
16
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.

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.

CLASSICS BIOGRAPHIES BRETT MITCHELL, conductor
PHOTO: ROGER MASTROIANNI
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. His repertoire spans the core works of Mozart (The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute), Verdi (Rigoletto and Falstaff), and Stravinsky (The Rake’s Progress) to contemporary works by Adamo (Little Women), Aldridge (Elmer Gantry), Catán (Il Postino and Salsipuedes), and Hagen (Amelia). As a ballet conductor, Mitchell most recently led a production of The Nutcracker with the Pennsylvania Ballet in collaboration with The Cleveland Orchestra during the 2016/17 season. In addition to his work with professional orchestras, Mitchell is also well known for his affinity for working with and mentoring young musicians aspiring to be professional orchestral players. His tenure as Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra from 2013 to 2017

Mitchell is regularly invited to work with the highly talented musicians at the Cleveland Institute of Music and the orchestras at this country’s highlevel training programs, such as the National Repertory Orchestra, Texas Music Festival, Sarasota Music Festival, and Interlochen Center for the Arts. Born in Seattle in 1979, Mitchell holds degrees in conducting from the University of Texas at Austin and composition from Western Washington University, which selected him as its Young Alumnus of the Year in 2014. He also studied at the National Conducting Institute, and was selected by Kurt Masur as a recipient of the inaugural American Friends of the Mendelssohn Foundation Scholarship. Mitchell was also one of five recipients of the League of American Orchestras’ American Conducting Fellowship from 2007 to 2010. For more information, please visit www.brettmitchellconductor.com
MASON BATES, electronica Recently named the most-performed composer of his generation, Mason Bates serves as the first composer-in-residence of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. His music enlivens imaginative narrative forms with innovative orchestral writing, the harmonies of jazz and the rhythms of techno, and it has been the first symphonic music to receive widespread acceptance for its unique integration of electronic sounds. Leading conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Michael Tilson Thomas, and Leonard Slatkin have championed his diverse catalogue. He has become a visible advocate for bringing new music to new spaces, whether through institutional partnerships such as his residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, or through his club/classical project Mercury Soul, which transforms spaces ranging from commercial clubs to Frank Gehry-designed concert halls into exciting, hybrid musical events drawing over a thousand people. Mason Bates’ music’s novel realization of narrative forms has recently attracted the attention of artists in opera and film. He made his film composition debut in 2015 with the feature-length The Sea of Trees by director Gus Van Sant. He premiered an opera on the topic of Steve Jobs at Santa Fe Opera in 2017. Last season the Kennedy Center premiered Mason Bates’ new work celebrating the centennial of John F. Kennedy. The work juxtaposes the poetry of longtime JFK confidant Robert Frost with excerpts of the President’s own words. Other recent highlights include performances of Liquid Interface and Garages of the Valley by the National Symphony Orchestra, Alternative Energy with the Philadelphia Orchestra and performances by the Fort Worth Symphony of Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, which was recently recorded by Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony.

JOSHUA ROMAN, cello Joshua Roman has earned an international reputation for his wideranging repertoire, a commitment to communicating the essence of music in visionary ways, artistic leadership and versatility. As well as being a celebrated performer, he is recognized as an accomplished composer and curator, and was named a TED Senior Fellow in 2015. During the 2017/18 season, Roman will make his Detroit Symphony Orchestra debut, and perform his own Cello Concerto, Awakening, with the Princeton Symphony in collaboration with conductor Teddy Abrams. In Europe, Roman will perform one of his favorite 20th Century Cello Concertos, that of Polish composer Witold Lutoslawski, with the Szczecin Philharmonic of Poland. Other season highlights include performances of Tornado with the JACK Quartet with San Francisco Performances, Town Hall Seattle, Interlochen and numerous presenters throughout the country. Notable events from the 2016/17 season include the premiere of Tornado, a new work composed by Joshua Roman and commissioned by the Music Academy of the West and Town Hall Seattle. The lauded premiere took place with the JACK Quartet at the Music Academy of the West in June of 2017. He also gave his debut at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, comprised of not only performances with high caliber musicians from the St. Lawrence String Quartet and other corners of the chamber music world, but a performance of his solo piece Riding Light. Orchestral highlights of the season included performances of the Mason Bates Cello Concerto with the Portland, Berkeley, Spokane, and Memphis symphonies. The concerto is dedicated to the cellist, who gave its “world-class world premiere” (Seattle Times) with the Seattle Symphony in 2014, and has since performed it with orchestras around the U.S. In November of 2016, Roman’s musical response to the tension around the U.S. Presidential election – “Let’s Take A Breath” – brought almost one million live viewers to TED’s Facebook page to hear his performance of the complete Six Suites for Solo Cello by J.S. Bach. Before embarking on a solo career, Roman spent two seasons as principal cellist of the Seattle Symphony, a position he won in 2006 at the age of 22. Since that time he has appeared as a soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, Seattle Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, BBC Scottish Symphony, Moscow State Symphony, and Mariinsky Orchestra, among many others. An active chamber musician, Roman has collaborated with Cho-Liang Lin, Assad Brothers, Christian Zacharias, Yo-Yo Ma, the JACK Quartet, the Enso String Quartet, and Talea Ensemble. His YouTube series (youtube.com/joshuaromancello), “Everyday Bach,” features Roman performing Bach’s cello suites from beautiful settings around the world. He was the only guest artist invited to play an unaccompanied solo during the YouTube Symphony Orchestra’s 2009 debut concert at Carnegie Hall, and has given a solo performance on the TED2015 main stage. Roman is grateful for the loan of an 1899 cello by Giulio Degani of Venice. www.joshuaroman.com www.opus3artists.com

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES MASON BATES (B. 1977): Auditorium Mason Bates was born on January 23, 1977 in Philadelphia. Auditorium was composed in 2016 and premiered on April 27, 2016 by the San Francisco Symphony, conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado. The score calls for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, piano, electronics, and strings. Duration is about 16 minutes. This is the first performance by the orchestra. Mason Bates brings not only his own fresh talent to the concert hall but also the musical sensibilities of a new generation — he is equally at home composing “for Lincoln Center,” according to his web site (www.masonbates.com), as being the “electronica artist Masonic® who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York City, where he was a lounge DJ at such venues as The Frying Pan — the floating rave ship docked off the pier near West 22nd Street.” Bates was born in Philadelphia in 1977 and started studying piano with Hope Armstrong Erb at his childhood home in Richmond, Virginia. He earned degrees in both English literature and music composition in the joint program of Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where his composition teachers included John Corigliano, David Del Tredici and Samuel Adler, and received his doctorate in composition from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 as a student of Edmund Campion and Jorge Lidermann. Bates was Resident Composer with the California Symphony from 2008 to 2011, Project San Francisco Artist-in-Residence with the San Francisco Symphony in 2011-2012, and Composer of the Year with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2012-2013; he held a residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 2010 to 2015 and is the first-ever Composer-in-Residence at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. through the 2019-2020 season. He also teaches in the Technology and Applied Composition Program of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Bates’ rapidly accumulating portfolio of orchestral, chamber, vocal, theatrical, film (notably Gus Van Sant’s 2014 The Sea of Trees starring Matthew McConaughey and Naomi Watts) and electronic compositions includes commissions and performances by the major orchestras of London, Lisbon, New York, Washington, Atlanta, Toronto, Phoenix, San Francisco, Oakland, Annapolis, Los Angeles, Miami and Detroit, the Tanglewood, Aspen, Cabrillo and Spoleto USA festivals, Biava Quartet, Chanticleer and New Juilliard Ensemble. In 2010, Bates was commissioned to write Mothership for the second concert of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble composed of musicians from around the world who were selected through online auditions by Michael Tilson Thomas, the project’s director and conductor, and assembled in Sydney, Australia for rehearsals and a live concert on March 20, 2011 streamed on the internet; the first YouTube Symphony Orchestra concert had been held in New York in 2009. Among his recent works is The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, premiered by Santa Fe Opera in July 2017 and released on the Pentatone label in June 2018. In addition to being recognized as the most-performed American composer of his generation and named “2018 Composer of the Year” by Musical America, Bates has received a Charles Ives Scholarship and Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Guggenheim Fellowship, Jacob Druckman Memorial Prize from the Aspen Music Festival, ASCAP and BMI awards, a Fellowship from the Tanglewood Music Center, Rome Prize, Berlin Prize, a two-year Composer Residency with Young Concert Artists, and the 2012 Heinz Award in Arts and Humanities.

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES Mason Bates is also an ardent and effective advocate for bringing new music to new spaces, “whether,” he explained, “through institutional partnerships such as the residency with the Chicago Symphony’s MusicNOW series, or through the project Mercury Soul, which has transformed spaces ranging from commercial clubs to Frank Gehry-designed concert halls into exciting, hybrid musical events drawing over a thousand people. Mercury Soul, a collaboration with director Anne Patterson and conductor Benjamin Schwartz, embeds sets of classical music into an evening of DJing and beautiful, surreal visuals.” Bates was thoroughly trained in traditional classical styles and techniques during the course of his excellent education but he had never explored Baroque music in any depth until about 2015, when Michael Tilson Thomas, Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony and Bates’ frequent collaborator (and inspiration), challenged him to explore a range of 18thcentury compositions he would suggest. Bates admitted discovering in that study a “love for 18th-century music” and decided to express that interest in a piece which would bridge the two musical eras, “essentially a work for two orchestras — one live, one dead.” That tribute, titled Auditorium, was premiered by the San Francisco Symphony on April 27, 2016 conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado. “Auditorium,” Bates continued, “is based on the premise that an orchestra, like a person, can be possessed. It is a Baroque ‘thriller’ that haunts the orchestra with ghostly processed recordings of a Baroque ensemble, with the electronic part comprising entirely original neo-Baroque music recorded on period instruments.” “What gave Auditorium its immediate currency,” wrote critic Steven Wynn in his review in San Francisco Classical Voice, “was the conversation Bates set up between old and new, natural and recorded sound…. [It is an] ingratiating and good-natured work.”
MASON BATES: Cello Concerto Bates composed his Cello Concerto in 2014. It was premiered on December 11, 2014 by the Seattle Symphony conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla with Joshua Roman as soloist. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, alto flute, two oboes, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano, celesta, and strings. Duration is about 26 minutes. This is the first performance by the orchestra. “My Cello Concerto,” Bates explained, “began with a friendship. Josh Roman is beloved by just about everyone who meets him, and I am no exception. Immediately apparent is his unusual combination of enlightened prodigy and everyman approachability. I noticed this when we first crossed paths in New York, where we were thrown together [in 2009] at the inaugural YouTube Symphony to improvise an electro-acoustic duo at [the club] Le Poisson Rouge. That shotgun wedding left me mesmerized at his unmatched musicianship and technique, and soon I was composing a fiendishly difficult solo work for him [Carbide & Carbon] to premiere on his series at Town Hall [in Seattle]. He played it from memory. That experience proved to be a great warm-up for this Concerto.” A joint commission for the Concerto from the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Columbus (Ohio) Symphony Orchestra was arranged with funding from the Johnstone Fund for New Music of Columbus, and it was composed in 2014 and PROGRAM 6

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES premiered in Seattle on December 11, 2014 by Joshua Roman and Lithuanian conductor Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla. (The event was a musical reunion, since Roman had served as Principal Cellist of the SSO from 2006 to 2008, the youngest principal player in that Orchestra’s history.) Bates gave the following précis of the work: “The piece begins plaintively, with Josh floating over a restless orchestra, and the lyricism only expands in the central slow movement. But by the final movement [Léger — ‘Lightly’] rhythmic energy wins the day, and at one point Josh even plays with a guitar pick. This is, after all, the same fellow who played arrangements of Led Zeppelin at Town Hall, so I had to send him out with a bang.”
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827): Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 Ludwig van Beethoven was born on December 16, 1770 in Bonn and died on March 26, 1827 in Vienna. The Seventh Symphony was composed between autumn 1811 and June 1812 and premiered on December 8, 1813 in Vienna under the composer’s direction. The score calls for woodwinds, horns and trumpets in pairs, timpani, and strings. Duration is about 42 minutes. The symphony was last performed on December 2-4, 2016, with David Danzmayr on the podium. In the autumn of 1813, Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, the inventor of the metronome, approached Beethoven with the proposal that they organize a concert to benefit the soldiers wounded at the recent Battle of Hanau — with, perhaps, two or three repetitions of the concert to benefit themselves. Beethoven was eager to have his as-yet-unheard A major Symphony of the preceding year performed, and thought the financial reward worth the trouble, so he agreed. The concert consisted of this “Entirely New Symphony” by Beethoven, marches by Dussek and Pleyel performed on a “Mechanical Trumpeter” fabricated by Mälzel, and an orchestral arrangement of Wellington’s Victory, a piece Beethoven had concocted the previous summer for yet another of Mälzel’s musical machines, the clangorous “Panharmonicon.” The evening was such a success that Beethoven’s first biographer, Anton Schindler, reported, “All persons, however they had previously dissented from his music, now agreed to award him his laurels.” The Seventh Symphony is a magnificent creation in which Beethoven displayed several technical innovations that were to have a profound influence on the music of the 19th century: he expanded the scope of symphonic structure through the use of more distant tonal areas; he brought an unprecedented richness and range to the orchestral palette; and he gave a new awareness of rhythm as the vitalizing force in music. It is particularly the last of these characteristics that most immediately affects the listener and to which commentators have consistently turned to explain the vibrant power of the work. Perhaps the most famous such observation about the Seventh Symphony is that of Richard Wagner, who called the work “the apotheosis of the Dance in its highest aspect ... the loftiest deed of bodily motion incorporated in an ideal world of tone.” A slow introduction, almost a movement in itself, opens the Symphony. This initial section employs two themes: the first, majestic and unadorned, is passed down through the winds while being punctuated by long, rising scales in the strings; the second is a graceful melody for oboe. The transition to the main part of the first movement is accomplished by the superbly controlled reiteration of a single pitch. This device both connects the introduction with the exposition and SOUNDINGS
2018/19
PROGRAM 7
CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES also establishes the dactylic rhythm that dominates the movement. The Allegretto scored such a success at its premiere that it was immediately encored, a phenomenon virtually unprecedend for a slow movement. In form, the movement is a series of variations on the heartbeat rhythm of its opening measures. In spirit, however, it is more closely allied to the austere chaconne of the Baroque era than to the light, figural variations of Classicism. The third movement, a study in contrasts of sonority and dynamics, is built on the formal model of the scherzo, but expanded to include a repetition of the horn-dominated Trio (Scherzo – Trio – Scherzo – Trio – Scherzo). In the sonata-form finale, Beethoven not only produced music of virtually unmatched rhythmic energy (“a triumph of Bacchic fury,” in the words of Sir Donald Tovey), but did it in such a manner as to exceed the climaxes of the earlier movements and make it the goal toward which they had all been aimed. So intoxicating is this music that some of Beethoven’s contemporaries were sure he had composed it in a drunken frenzy. An encounter with the Seventh Symphony is a heady experience. Klaus G. Roy, the late program annotator for the Cleveland Orchestra, wrote, “Many a listener has come away from a hearing of this Symphony in a state of being punch-drunk. Yet it is an intoxication without a hangover, a dopelike exhilaration without decadence.” To which the composer’s own words may be added. “I am Bacchus incarnate,” boasted Beethoven, “appointed to give humanity wine to drown its sorrow.... He who divines the secret of my music is delivered from the misery that haunts the world.” ©2019 Dr. Richard E. Rodda
