Everyone has a voice. Shouldn’t yours be heard? Don’t take your voice for granted. A weak, breathy, hoarse, scratchy, strained, or graveled voice often indicates a problem. Hoarseness lasting longer than a few weeks probably isn’t “laryngitis.” Dr. J. Michael King treats the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat disorders. He is an otolaryngologist and a fellowship-trained laryngologist (voice specialist) providing care to singers, performers, and professional speakers. As one of only a few specialists in the Western region who performs minimally invasive office procedures, balloon sinuplasty, and laser surgery, Dr. King is always willing to take the time to explain options to help you decide what treatment is right for you.
J. Michael King, MD Services and treatments include• Minimally invasive office procedures of the throat and sinuses • Laser surgery of the vocal cords • Treatments for pre-cancerous lesions or early throat cancers • Microsurgery for vocal cord polyps or cysts • Botox injections for spasmodic dysphonia • Voice restoration for vocal cord paralysis • Esophagoscopy and evaluation for reflux Offices in Broomfield & Golden 403 Summit Blvd., Suite 204 1030 Johnson Road, Suite 350 Broomfield, CO 80021 Golden, CO 80401

String Quartet in D Major, Op. 20, No. 4, “The Sun”
Franz Joseph Haydn
The six Quartets of Opus 20 are nicknamed “Sun,” after the picture of a rising sun on the cover of their first publication. In a way, it’s an appropriate image, since these remarkable works represent the dawning of a new day for Haydn as a composer, and for the string quartet as a genre. While many of his earlier works for four strings had been created as tuneful little diversions, the half-dozen of Opus 20, published in 1772, are something else again. Haydn’s composing techniques were now more experimentally utilized, the four voices more evenly distributed (in this D-Major Quartet, the cello is given new importance), and the finished product more cohesively laid out. Sure, the wit is still there, the charming tunes very much evident. But one instantly senses that these are grown-up compositions by a master seriously sizing up his possibilities. This, Haydn declared, was indeed the intention. As he approached the end of his long and productive life, he recounted to his friend, composer Anton Reicha, that the year 1772 signaled a period of self-generated renewal. Haydn’s turning 40, Reicha wrote, prompted “a complete course in composition to strengthen himself and his art and to learn its secrets better.” Not that he was re-inventing himself—the inimitable imprint of Haydn can be found on every page of Opus 20, particularly in the two bubbly concluding movements of No. 4 in D major. The playfulness of the two violins in syncopation, tossing short little phrases back and forth, is pure Haydn. But that opening Allegro is a startling departure: First off, it’s in 3/4 time, rather than the expected 4/4. Then, there are those three short, repeated notes—sounding like something approaching a stutter—that serve as the anchor for the entire movement. They are heard around a dozen times in the first 40 measures, reminiscent, in a way, of the opening of Beethoven’s Fifth. It’s not quite the three-note motive that opens that famous symphony (there’s melody here, rather than stark, rhythmic punctuations in the Beethoven), but those three notes suggest a composer searching for a new approach, setting a new course for his quartet of string players. The following slow movement also reveals a deeper thought process. Marked Un poco Adagio Affettuoso, it’s a set of four variations on a touching melody set in the minor—each of the first three variations distributed to a different voice. Perhaps realizing the serious tone of these expansive movements, Haydn then tosses out a jolly little minuet, an Allegretto alla zingarese (referring to its Hungarian spirit) that zips along with a gypsy-like bounce in its minute-and-a-half. More delights are found in the finale, offering a steady stream of delicious ideas, ending with a wink and a smile. Walking Away From...
Katarina Curcin
Curcin was born in Serbia, where she received her Bachelor’s degree in music. Emigrating to Canada in 1999, she earned a Master’s and Doctorate in composition at the University of Toronto. Her composition
teachers included Dusan Radic, Gary Kulesha, Chan Ka Nin and Christos Hatzis. Walking Away From..., written in 2005, represented Canada at the 2006 International Rostrum of Composers in Paris. Cucin has provided the following program notes: “The string quartet Walking Away From… is a turning point in my style. I purposely walk away from traditional ways of writing and explore new techniques for strings. I walk away from precise metrical structures and at times give the players a “controlled” freedom with only timings indicated as a guide for duration. Having a free formal structure, the piece is filled with contrasting moods and episodes that are juxtaposed. Each movement closes softly: the first movement ends with the cellist playing a melodic motive using harmonics; the second movement with all four instruments playing the highest possible pitch on the instrument; and the third movement with very high harmonics combined with the players’ whistling. I also left my country—walked away from the home where I grew up. In the first movement I am still thinking about home. There is a quotation of a folk tune that I used to hear there all the time. Rapid shifts of mood are typical for all three movements and especially for the first one. In the second movement I am stepping back and seeing a bigger picture of the world, using a waltz-like theme. That theme is taken from Princess For A Day, my children’s ballet suite for orchestra. The second movement could be described as a synthesis of twentieth-century avant-garde technique with the spirit of nineteenth-century romanticism. By the third movement, the energy evaporates as the quartet plays gentle harmonics enriched with the players’ whistling. The open strings and harmonics are used almost throughout the movement with random short references to the previous two movements. Moving as far away as possible from any musical structure, the quartet ends in a dream-like atmosphere.” String Quartet No. 1 in D, Opus 11
Peter Tchaikovsky
The stale romantic image of composers living in a dreamy world of artistic inspiration, fueled solely by melodic ideas sent to them from the cosmos has little connection to the banal demands of real life. In many cases, music was created out of hunger. It doesn’t seem fair that, in the winter of 1870-71, Tchaikovsky occasionally went without food. But friends reported such was the case. This, despite the fact he’d recently received a pay raise as a faculty member at the Moscow Conservatory, and had accumulated a handful of private students. Still, it just wasn’t enough. Adding to his woes were personal problems and his failure as a conductor at a Moscow concert, which led to a nervous breakdown exacerbated by a proclivity for drinking and gambling. To improve his financial situation, (which the composer described as “utterly chaotic”), Conservatory director Nicolai Rubinstein came up with a nice suggestion: Organize an all-Tchaikovsky concert, and pocket the profits. And here again, practical considerations trumped musical ones. Since the cost of hiring an orchestra for the occasion would cut deeply into the evening’s take, it was decided that the agenda would be a sampling of his chamber works: songs, opera excerpts, a few piano pieces and such. Those were fine, but Tchaikovsky knew that his listeners would expect
entry in his diary, recalling the work’s premiere: “Perhaps I was never so flattered in my life nor was my pride as a composer so stirred as when (Leo) Tolstoy, sitting beside me listening to the Andante of my First Quartet, dissolved in tears.” None of the subsequent settings of the tune can touch the eloquence of the original. Its first phrase is set in the major, briefly falling into the minor with a short phrase reminiscent of the “Volga Boatman,” before returning to the major. Simple, but unforgettable. That said, Opus 11 does offer numerous other pleasures, starting with the opening movement’s hymn, played in rich, six-part harmonies. It’s a relaxed melody sounding almost Schubertian in its naive sincerity, its sonority inspiring the Quartet’s nickname, “The Accordion.” And let’s not ignore the Andante’s gently flowing second melody, which contrasts perfectly with stillness of that Ukrainian tune. The final two movements bubble with inspiring melodies, notably the hurdy-gurdy drone in the dance-like Scherzo and the folksy, Slavic colors of the energetic finale. Despite the success of this First String Quartet, Tchaikovsky would complete only two more. The world of the orchestra beckoned, after all... —MARC SHULGOLD
CECILIA QUARTET Taking their name from St. Cecilia, the patron saint of music, the Cecilia String Quartet continue to win praise following their 2010 First Prize at the Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC). “The balance between expressiveness and interplay was almost dauntingly perfect,” wrote the Berliner Zeitung after a performance in the Konzerthaus Berlin. European tours have taken the four Toronto-based Canadian musicians to the Concertgebouw Kleine Zaal (Amsterdam), Beethoven-Haus (Bonn), Wigmore Hall (London), and venues in Italy and Belgium. The Cecilia String Quartet (CSQ) formed while students at the University of Toronto. They soon won acclaim for their ‘extraordinary commitment and maturity’ (Montréal Gazette). Prizewinners at international string quartet competitions in both Osaka (2008) and Bordeaux (2010) and winners of a Galaxie Rising Stars Award in Canada, the CSQ went on to capture the First Prize at the BISQC. “With a stunning spirit of creativity that consistently celebrated risk-taking and discovery, the Cecilia Quartet impressed the distinguished jury above all others,” said the competition’s executive director, Barry Shiffman, when announcing the winners. The CSQ now perform for leading presenters in Canada, the United States and Europe. They are also Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Music, a position that has been made possible by a generous gift from BMO Financial Group. Their concert recordings have been broadcast on more than a dozen international public radio networks, including Australia, Canada (CBC/SRC), and Germany. In addition to performing, they have a four-CD contract with ANALEKTA. The first recording of music by Dvořák was released in March 2012. The second recording of music by Janáček, Berg, and Webern, was scheduled to be released in Spring 2013. Highly committed to teaching and outreach, the CSQ have held teaching duties at Austin Chamber Music Festival (Texas), San Diego State University (California), McGill University (Québec), QuartetFest at Wilfrid Laurier University (Ontario), Summer String Academy at Indiana University and were recent Quartet Fellows at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
They have presented educational programs for elementary and high schools across Canada, the USA, Italy, and France. They CSQ actively seek to develop new audiences and their presentations have taken them to venues as varied as the Monarch School for Homeless Youth (San Diego) and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (Stanford). The quartet enjoys developing innovative programming. In 2009 they created BLiM (Breathing Life into Music), a monthlong residency in France in collaboration with ProQuartet and the Centres culturels de rencontre (Cultural Centres – Historic Monuments) association in France and Europe (ACCR). In 2010, they collaborated with the Afiara String Quartet in premièring and recording compositions by eight composers of the Common Sense Composers Collective at The Banff Centre. In 2011, they collaborated with actor and director Alon Nashman in the multimedia production The Snow Queen. Min-Jeong Koh plays on a ca. 1767 Joannes Baptista Guadagnini violin, and Sarah Nematallah plays on an 1851 Jean Baptiste Vuillaume violin, both on loan from an anonymous donor. Rachel Desoer now performs on the 1929 Carlo Giuseppe Oddone cello on loan from the Canada Council for the Arts. The quartet would like to thank the anonymous donor and the Canada Council for the Arts for their generous support.

something fresh. But what? How about a string quartet? Sure, why not? Those were the decidedly unromantic factors that led to one of the world’s most beloved chamber works. Written within a few weeks of the March 28, 1871 concert, Opus 11 instantly connected with listeners. No surprise that the audience took particular pleasure from the second movement, the Andante cantabile. It happens so often with catchy, instantly popular pieces (Rachmaninoff’s early Prelude in C-sharp Minor comes to mind): Smitten audiences demand to hear that music at every possible opportunity—often to the private dismay of the composer. In this case, that lovely, melancholy melody was soon transcribed for all manner of instruments (at least nine re-castings at last count). Ironically, the tune wasn’t even original. The source of the Second Movement’s familiar theme was a silly little Ukrainian folk song, “Sidel Vanya,” heard by Tchaikovsky during a visit to his sister’s estate at Kamenka in 1869. Clearly, it was the melody that captured the composer’s imagination, because it couldn’t have been the lyrics, which began, “Vanya sat on a couch and smoked a pipe of tobacco.” It didn’t take long for the Quartet, with its hit tune, to follow the composer wherever he went—not that he minded. He knew right from the start he’d written something special. In 1876, he made this

CU OPERA
G
reat repertoire, lavish scenery, amazing voices, and outstanding value— these are the hallmarks of CU Opera. Director Leigh Holman and Music Director Nicholas Carthy bring you the best of classical and contemporary opera in three fascinating productions each season and in CU New Opera Workshop in the summer.
La Bohème (sung in Italian)
Hansel and Gretel (sung in English)
Side by Side by Sondheim (sung in English)
by Giacomo Puccini
by Engelbert Humperdinck
by Stephen Sondheim
Directed by guest artist Paolo Panizza
Humperdinck’s enchanting opera of the classic Grimm fairy tale follows two children into the forest, where they find a gingerbread house . . . and its hungry witch.
More than a revue of the incomparable Broadway composer’s work, Side by Side by Sondheim features his bestknown tunes alongside narration exploring the context of each piece.
In the Latin Quarter of Paris, Rodolfo the idealistic poet falls in love with Mimi, a frail but resolute milliner. Around their tender love story, Puccini depicts the exuberant lives of struggling young artists, expressing joie de vivre, love, and ultimately heartbreak.
