Welcome Friends, There’s nothing quite like spring and summer in Colorado. Whether you’re reveling in the natural splendor throughout our state, hiking, biking, mountain climbing, or enjoying live outdoor entertainment, there’s no shortage of exciting activities to explore while relishing some of the best weather anywhere in the country.

With that in mind, we’ve put together an incredible 2019 summer lineup that will showcase our musicians in some of the state’s top venues. We’ll return to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre for must-see collaborations with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones along with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, and Abigail Washburn on May 30, Tenacious D on July 25, John Prine on July 28, “Weird Al” Yankovic on August 1, and Josh Groban on August 28.

And this June the Colorado Symphony will join world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli for an unforgettable performance at the Pepsi Center as part of his international tour.

There’re also plenty of opportunities to see us throughout the state as Assistant Conductor Bertie Baigent leads performances of Mozart Under Moonlight in three incredible venues including the Dillon Outdoor Amphitheatre on July 10, the Arvada Outdoor Amphitheatre on July 11, and the Campus Commons Performance Hall at the University of Northern Colorado on July 12.

Back home in Boettcher Concert Hall, Music Director Brett Mitchell will be on the podium for our free 2019/20 Season Preview concert on July 6 and for a special concert celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Lunar Landing on July 20. We’ll also screen the sixth installment of the Harry Potter Concert Series with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince™ in Concert from August 2–4.

We look forward to being a part of your summer memories as we share this wonderful music throughout Colorado.

See you this summer!

STORIES OF NOTE

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS WHEN BRAHMS MET RADIOHEAD

By Nick Dobreff

20

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

On any given evening with the Colorado Symphony, you could find yourself in the midst of a master work by Beethoven, Mozart, Mahler, or similarly immersed in the contemporary music of Prince, The Flaming Lips, Jim James, or Aretha Franklin. In an effort to guide concertgoers, orchestras across the country classify their events into categories that briefly encapsulate a theme or genre; even though all of it is spectacular symphonic music. The distinctions — namely pops and classical — help guide patrons, but they also illuminate a barrier that exists between these two distinct musical worlds.

Enter Steve Hackman, a composer, conductor, producer, and a leading voice among a new generation of classical musicians intent on redefining the ‘classical’ genre by creating imaginative hybrid compositions that blur the lines between high and pop art. This style applies modern musical techniques to the classical repertoire and vice versa. The result is evocative works, commonly known as mashups, that are both derivative yet wholly original.

On June 1, 2019, Hackman conducts the Colorado Symphony premiere of Brahms vs. Radiohead — his melding of Johannes Brahms’ iconic First Symphony (1876) with Radiohead’s seminal electro-rock album, OK Computer (1997).

Using a process of de- and re-construction, analysis, and re-creation, the program utilizes a full 70-piece orchestra and three vocal soloists as Hackman intertwines all four movements of the First Symphony with eight songs from OK Computer. The result is a collaboration over a century in the making as Hackman pushes the musical envelope, superimposing Radiohead songs above Brahms’ music, altering Radiohead’s melodies to coexist with Brahms’ harmonies, and interjecting the philosophies of one into the other, creating a compelling and captivating new world that captures the essence of both works.

“The piece stays in the romantic sound world of Brahms, using only the instruments he would have used to debut his Symphony, but woven in, superimposed, and inserted are the melodies and music of Radiohead,” writes Hackman on his website. “At times we hear the melodies and words of Radiohead suspended over Brahms’ original music; at times we hear the orchestra playing the music of Radiohead but with the

STORIES OF NOTE

dense counterpoint Brahms. Every combination is explored, and we constantly move from one to the other, but the piece is seamless and many times the audience is left wondering which is which, and how the combination was even possible.”

The two works do share similar defining characteristics. Most significantly, there is a pervasive mood of anxiety and unease that permeates each.

Brahms was famously plagued by the omnipresent shadow of his idol, Ludwig van Beethoven, needing more than two decades to finish his First Symphony as the pressure of being heralded as his successor mounted. “You have no idea what it’s like to hear the footsteps of a giant like that behind you,” said Brahms. In the end, he was able to conquer his symphonic demons by embracing the past in a composition that both echoes the work of Beethoven and simultaneously stands alone as a monumental symphonic work.

For Radiohead, the dread was existential as themes of social alienation, consumerism, emotional isolation, and political turmoil were channeled through each anxiously electric note and lyric of OK Computer. The footsteps they heard were a warning of humanity's impending overreliance on technology, and this album foretold a societal monotony resulting from the need to capture memories rather than living them — Radiohead saw social media coming before it happened. To convey this unease, Radiohead, unlike Brahms, turned away from their past, discarding the Britt Pop and Rock sound from their first two albums — Pablo Honey and The Bends — instead creating a unique blend of guitar rock and electronica that would become a defining sound of the New Millennium.

Brahms vs. Radiohead and Hackman’s other symphonic mashups are not without their critics. Some consider the deconstruction of such beloved works to be akin to sacrilege. Others contend that classical and contemporary music belong in their own separate categories and shouldn’t be changed or altered in any way.

“A lot of people would say that music like this doesn’t belong together, possibly, and they would say there are barriers between these musics, and they’re categorized into sort of artificial different camps,” said Hackman to Grammy.com. “In my mind, and I think in the mind of many of the musicians on this stage, those barriers are artificial, and they’re in our minds, and if you can’t see them, are they really there?”

22

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

In a post on his website in May 2018, Hackman further addressed these criticisms: “Some may purport that these two pieces are separated by more than just time.

They may seek to label and categorize them, and perhaps judge their respective and comparative values accordingly. I believe that the more we truly understand the creative and technical processes that result in any kind of art — regardless of genre or category — the more similar they will reveal themselves to us."

Hackman’s creation exemplifies music as a living, breathing organism. Utilizing two of the great musical works of all time, he shows both their similarities and differences in a creative tapestry of sound that is a delight to behold. So, where Radiohead eschews tradition, Brahms maintains it, but both share a kindred spirit: They are visionary, unrivaled and, for one night, co-headliners at Boettcher Concert Hall.

PETER OUNDJIAN, conductor A dynamic presence in the conducting world, Peter Oundjian is renowned for his probing musicality, collaborative spirit, and engaging personality.

The 2018/19 season includes debuts with the Indianapolis and New Zealand Symphony Orchestras, and return engagements with the St. Louis, Baltimore, Atlanta, Utah, Colorado, and New World Symphonies as well as the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. In January 2019 he transitioned from Artistic Advisor to Music Director for the Colorado Music Festival, commencing a five year tenure. 2017/18 marked Oundjian’s fourteenth and final season as Music Director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO). His appointment in 2004 reinvigorated the orchestra with recordings, tours, and acclaimed innovative programming, as well as extensive audience growth, significantly strengthening the ensemble’s presence in the world. In 2014, he led the TSO on a tour of Europe, which included a sold-out performance at Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw and the first performance of a North American orchestra at Reykjavík’s Harpa Hall. In the 2016/17 season, Oundjian led the TSO on a major tour of Israel and Europe.

From 2012 to 2018, Oundjian was Music Director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO). Under his baton, the orchestra toured China, the USA, and across Europe. Together they recorded extensively for Sony and Chandos, and presented Britten’s monumental War Requiem at the 2018 BBC Proms. Few conductors bring such musicianship and engagement to the world’s great podiums—from Berlin, Amsterdam, and Tel Aviv, to New York, Chicago, and Sydney. He has also appeared at some of the great annual gatherings of music and musiclovers: from the BBC Proms and the Prague Spring Festival, to the Edinburgh Festival and The Philadelphia Orchestra’s Mozart Festival, where he was Artistic Director from 2003 to 2005.

Oundjian was Principal Guest Conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra from 2006 to 2010 and Artistic Director of the Caramoor International Music Festival in New York from 1997 to 2007. Since 1981, he has been a visiting professor at the Yale School of Music, and earned the university’s Sanford Medal for distinguished service to music in 2013.

STEPHEN HOUGH, piano One of the most distinctive artists of his generation, Stephen Hough combines a distinguished career as a pianist with those of composer and writer. Named by The Economist as one of Twenty Living Polymaths, Hough was the first classical performer to be awarded a MacArthur Fellowship and was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2014 New Year’s Honors. Since taking first prize at the 1983 Naumburg Competition in New York, Hough has performed with the world’s major orchestras and given recitals at the most prestigious concert halls.

PROGRAM 3

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES JOAN TOWER (B. 1938): Made in America Joan Tower was born on September 6, 1938 in New Rochelle, New York. Made in America was composed in 2005 and premiered on October 2, 2005 in Glens Falls, New York, conducted by Charles Peltz. The score calls for two flutes (both doubling piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, trombone, timpani, percussion, and strings. Duration is about 15 minutes.

This is the first performance of the work by the orchestra.

Joan Tower was born in New Rochelle, New York in 1938 and went to South America with her family when she was nine. Her father was a mining engineer whose assignments necessitated frequent family moves to Bolivia, Chile, and Peru, but he always found a piano and a teacher to nurture his daughter’s musical interests. Tower returned to the United States to attend Bennington College and Columbia University, where she earned a doctorate in composition.

After finishing her professional training, she taught at Greenwich House, a settlement house in New York, while also composing and performing as a pianist. Since 1972, Tower has taught at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, where she is now Asher Edelman Professor of Music. She is also active in working with performing groups and students in residencies throughout the country, and has served as Co-Artistic Director of the Yale/Norfolk Chamber Music Festival. Tower’s many distinctions include awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, Koussevitzky Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts and Massachusetts State Arts Council, as well as the prestigious Grawemeyer Award from the University of Louisville in 1990, the first woman ever to receive that honor. She has also been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, named a recipient of the Delaware Symphony’s Alfred I. DuPont Award for Distinguished American Composers, and inducted into the Academy of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. In January 2005, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall featured a retrospective concert of her work. Joan Tower is the first composer chosen for the ambitious “Made in America” commissioning program, a collaboration of the American Symphony Orchestra League and Meet the Composer made possible by Ford Motor Company Fund, through which her composition Made in America was performed during the 2005-2006 season by smaller-budget orchestras in every state in the union; the Naxos recording of the work

by Leonard Slatkin and the Nashville Symphony received three Grammy Awards in 2008, including Best Classical Contemporary Composition.

Tower wrote of Made in America, “When I was nine, my family moved to South America (La Paz, Bolivia), where we stayed for nine years. I had to learn a new language, a new culture and how to live at 13,000 feet! It was a lively culture with many saints’ days celebrated through music and dance, but the large Inca population in Bolivia was generally poor and there was little chance of moving up in class or work position.

“When I returned to the United States, I was proud to have free choices, upward mobility and the chance to try to become who I wanted to be. I also enjoyed the basic luxuries of an American citizen that we so often take for granted: hot running water, blankets for cold winters, floors that are not made of dirt, and easy modes of transportation, among many other things. So when I started composing this piece, the song America the Beautiful kept coming into my consciousness and eventually became the main theme of the work. The beauty of the song is undeniable and I loved working with it as a musical idea. One can never take for granted, however, the strength of a musical idea — as Beethoven (one of my strongest influences) knew so well. This theme is PROGRAM 4

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES challenged by other more aggressive and dissonant ideas that keep interrupting, interjecting, unsettling it, but America the Beautiful keeps resurfacing in different guises (some small and tender, others big and magnanimous), as if to say, ‘I’m still here, ever changing, but holding my own.’ A musical struggle is heard throughout the work. Perhaps it was my unconscious reacting to the challenge of how we keep American beautiful.”

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS (1835-1921): Piano Concerto No. 5 in F major, Op. 103, “Egyptian” Camille Saint-Saëns was born on October 9, 1835 in Paris and died on December 16, 1921 in Algiers.

The Piano Concerto No. 5 was composed during the winter of 1896 and premiered on June 2, 1896 in Paris with the composer as soloist. The score calls for two flues, piccolo, plus pairs of oboes, clarinets, and bassoons; four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, gong, and strings. Duration is about 28 minutes. The concerto was last performed on January 25-27, 2013, with Jean-Yves Thibaudet as soloist and Justin Brown on the podium.

At the age of two, Camille Saint-Saëns climbed up onto the piano bench and spent a large part of the rest of his life there. At four-and-a-half, he played the piano part of a Beethoven violin sonata, and prodigiously made his formal debut in 1846, at the tender age of ten. As a teenager, he became organist at the Church of Saint-Merry in Paris; five years later, he moved to the prestigious post at the Church of the Madeleine. His artistry (and later his compositions) gained the respect of Liszt, who performed and conducted several of Saint-Saëns’ important scores in Germany. (Liszt oversaw the premiere of Samson et Dalila, in Weimar in 1877.) Berlioz said of him that “he is an absolutely shattering master-pianist.” He impressed even the redoubtable Wagner by playing Tristan und Isolde from memory at the piano. Saint-Saëns was so constantly in demand throughout his life as a pianist in his own and other composers’ works, especially those of Mozart and Beethoven, that he religiously practiced for two hours each morning, an activity he continued, literally, until the day he died.

To perform, of course, meant to tour, and travel became one of Saint-Saëns’ chief pastimes.

He went to the corners of the earth, from Singapore to San Francisco, but he tried to spend his winters in the baking sun and relative anonymity of Algiers, away from the drab Parisian weather.

His fondness for north Africa carried him on at least two occasions to Egypt, each visit inspiring from him a work for piano and orchestra: Africa, of 1891, was based on native songs; the Fifth Piano Concerto (“Egyptian”) was composed at Luxor in 1896. The composer was the soloist in the premiere of the Concerto on June 2, 1896 in Paris at a concert celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his debut as a pianist.

The F major Piano Concerto, despite its pictorial and atmospheric effects, exhibits the formal clarity and emotional restraint that characterize Saint-Saëns’ music. In its form, harmony, orchestration and texture, the “Egyptian” Concerto is indebted to the Classical models of Mozart, a composer whom Saint-Saëns revered. The opening movement follows traditional sonataconcerto structure, with a chordal main theme and a dance-like subordinate melody. “The second movement,” Saint-Saëns wrote, “takes us on a journey to the East and even, in one section, to the Far East. The G major passage is a Nubian love song which I heard sung by the boatmen on the SOUNDINGS

PROGRAM 5

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES Nile as I went down the river in a dahabieh.” The finale is a breathtaking tour-de-force of keyboard technique, proof that Saint-Saëns had lost none of his piano facility during the half-century of his performing career. Arthur Hervey, one of the composer’s early biographers, interpreted the incessant rhythmic motion of the finale as Saint-Saëns’ attempt “to describe his experiences on the sea voyage” home from Egypt. “A note of realism,” Hervey continues, “is introduced by the sound of the propeller, while the serenity of the voyage is interrupted by a short storm.” Storms, propellers and voyages there well may be, but the real point of this music is its dazzling display for the soloist in one of Saint-Saëns’ great exercises in virtuosity.

PETER ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840-1893): Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, “Pathétique” Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky was born on May 7, 1840 in Votkinsk and died on November 6, 1893 in St. Petersburg. He composed the Sixth Symphony between February 16 and August 24, 1893 and conducted its premiere in St. Petersburg on October 28, 1893 with the Orchestra of the Imperial Russian Music Society. The score calls for three flutes (third doubling piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings. Duration is about 50 minutes. Gilbert Varga conducted the last performance by the orchestra on September 28-30, 2012.

Tchaikovsky died in 1893, at the age of only 53. His death was long attributed to the accidental drinking of a glass of unboiled water during a cholera outbreak, but that theory has been questioned in recent years with the alternate explanation that he was forced to take his own life because of a homosexual liaison with the underage son of a noble family. Though the manner of Tchaikovsky’s death is incidental to the place of his Sixth Symphony in music history, the fact of it is not.

Tchaikovsky conducted his B minor Symphony for the first time only a week before his death.

It was given a cool reception by musicians and public, and his frustration was multiplied when discussion of the work was avoided by the guests at a dinner party following the concert on October 28, 1893. Three days later, however, his mood seemed brighter and he told a friend that he was not yet ready to be snatched off by death, “that snubbed-nose horror. I feel that I shall live a long time.” He was wrong. He died on November 6th. Memorial concerts were planned, including one in St. Petersburg on November 18th, twelve days after his death, when Eduard Napravnik conducted the Sixth Symphony. It was a resounding success and was wafted by the winds of sorrow across the musical world, becoming — and remaining — one of the most popular of all symphonies, the quintessential expression of tragedy in music.

The music of the “Pathétique” is a distillation of the strong residual strain of melancholy in Tchaikovsky’s personality rather than a mirror of his daily feelings and thoughts. Though he admitted there was a program for the Symphony, he refused to reveal it. “Let him guess it who can,” he told his nephew Vladimir Davidov. A cryptic note discovered years later among his sketches suggests that the first movement was “all impulsive passion; the second, love; the third, disappointments; the fourth, death — the result of collapse.” It is not clear, however, whether this précis applied to the finished version of the work or was merely a preliminary, perhaps never PROGRAM 6

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

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES even realized, plan. That Tchaikovsky at one point considered naming the work “Tragic” gives sufficient indication of its prevailing emotional content.

The title “Pathétique” was suggested to Tchaikovsky by his elder brother, Modeste. In his biography of Peter, Modeste recalled that they were sitting around a tea table one evening after the premiere, and the composer was unable to settle on an appropriate designation for the work before sending it to the publisher. The sobriquet “Pathétique” popped into Modeste’s mind, and Tchaikovsky pounced on it immediately: “Splendid, Modi, bravo. ‘Pathétique’ it shall be.” That title has always been applied to the Symphony, though the original Russian word carries a meaning closer to “passionate” or “emotional” than to the English “pathetic.”

The “Pathétique” Symphony opens with a slow introduction dominated by the sepulchral intonation of the bassoon, whose melody, in a faster tempo, becomes the first theme of the exposition; the tension subsides for the yearning second theme. The tempestuous development begins with a mighty blast from the full orchestra. The recapitulation is more condensed, vibrantly scored and emotionally intense than the exposition. Tchaikovsky referred to the second movement as a scherzo, though its 5/4 meter gives it more the feeling of a waltz with a limp. The third movement is a boisterous march. A profound emptiness pervades the closing movement, which maintains its slow tempo and mood of despair throughout. ©2019 Dr. Richard E. Rodda

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

The cost of living keeps going up.

The cost of your funeral doesn’t have to.

WHY PRE-PLAN YOUR MEMORIAL? Like many things, costs will continue to increase, so locking in now is a wise decision.

Yes, perhaps it’s a long way away, but all the more reason to get your plan together now. Contact your local Dignity Memorial provider for the best prices. ®
