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

Overture to The Magic Flute

PROGRAM NOTES
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart’s life began with unlimited possibility and ended in utter tragedy, and one can look at his final year, 1791, in the same light. Despite all of the frustrations he’d endured during his decade in Vienna, where fickle music-lovers turned away from him and embraced the flavor of the month, he had every reason to feel optimistic about things as the year unfolded. Yes, he had accumulated unpayable debts—but Prague had cheered Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni (the latter premiered in that Czech city). He had happily agreed to another opera commission for Prague: La Clemenza di Tito. In Vienna, it appeared he was in line to accept the coveted music directorship of St. Stephen’s Cathedral during the following year. England had convinced him to return for a potentially lucrative tour. In the midst of all that came commissions for new works (including the legendary request for a Requiem). And then, there was the offer from Mozart’s dear friend, theater owner Emanuel Schickaneder, to collaborate on a comic opera. Schickaneder had given Mozart’s family free admission to his Theater-auf-der-Wieden in 1789, and the composer responded with music for two productions there, Thamos and Zaïde. The theater had attracted an enthusiastic audience for earthy, Germanlanguage entertainment that thumbed its nose at snooty Italian operas (which, of course, Mozart had also created). Schickaneder suggested Die Zauberflöte, a story drawn from a collection of Oriental fairy tales. A mixture of music and spoken dialogue (known as Singspiel), this would be a work of fantasy, love, silliness and more than a touch of Freemasonry philosophy (Mozart and Schickaneder were both followers). Mozart jumped at the offer, naively agreeing to accept fees from future stagings in place of a cash advance, much to the disapproval of the composer’s wife (Schickaneder later reneged, prompting a protracted legal battle with Mozart’s widow). The storyline of The Magic Flute is too cumbersome to describe here—and, in any case, the remarkable Overture has little connection to the plot. Aside from those three ominous opening chords (three was an important number for the Freemasons), none of the tunes appear in the opera. Instead, we hear Mozart music at its most inspired and joyous: The solemn introduction leads into a dizzying theme introduced in fugue-like fashion that momentarily halts midway through. Those three imposing chords appear again, before the musical romp returns. Despite its curious plot twists and cast of exotic characters (with Schickaneder singing the comical bird-catcher Papageno at the premiere), Magic Flute was an instant hit when it was unveiled in September, 1791. By the early 1800s, it was being staged in opera houses everywhere. Mozart, alas, would not be around to enjoy its success: He died a few weeks after the premiere. Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat
Franz Liszt
Liszt could be a figure invented by Hollywood—dashing, handsome, charismatic and unnaturally talented. A pianist possessing supreme, almost demonic ability with an ego to match (he reportedly had numerous love affairs with women of high standing), Liszt never married and chose the priesthood in later years as penance for a life well-lived. You can’t make up stuff like that. But it was all true. His view of music also emerged with unstoppable
energy and self-confidence. Boldly dismissing the “oldfashioned” compositions being written then by Schumann, Mendelssohn and Brahms, Liszt embraced the new world of Richard Wagner, in which traditional chord progressions and familiar formulas were banished. Instead, music would travel in unpredictable ways and with greater power and passion. Even the long-standing form of the concerto could be toyed with. Liszt’s two piano concertos were begun in 1839, the E-flat completed a full ten years later— with help on the orchestration from Joachim Raff. In this first Concerto, premiered in 1855 with Berlioz conducting, Liszt tossed aside the usual three-movement format, expanding to four linked-together sections. In another innovation, themes introduced early on re-appear later, creating a cyclical form that would also be utilized in his second concerto. Here, the explosive unison theme in the opening, a stern dialogue between orchestra and piano, pops up again near the end of the work. As Liszt had declared when discussing the attributes of a concerto, the E-flat is “clear in sense, brilliant in expression and grand in style.” Like so much of his approach to music and life, he elicited public responses ranging from admiration and awe to downright disgust, collecting enemies with his uncompromising arrogance. Liszt was the first to brazenly present full evenings of his solo music—critics scoffed when he coined a term for them: “recitals.” Many objected, as well, to his flamboyant flights of mind-numbing virtuosity. They railed against this concerto, particularly its surprising use of the triangle. Eduard Hanslick, an influential critic and ally of Brahms, mockingly called the piece a Triangle Concerto. Liszt, incidentally, instructed that “the triangle is here not to be beaten clumsily, but in a delicately rhythmical manner with resonant precision.” So there! Hanslick was not alone in his dislike: In 1868, a Boston critic described this music as “incoherent, uninspiring (and) frosty to the finer instincts.” It didn’t take long, however, for audiences to grow accustomed to the bigger-than-life dimensions of piano concertos (the modern instrument, it should be noted, was now better able to handle all that furious pounding). By the early 1900s, the E-flat Concerto had become as inescapable as those of Tchaikovsky, Brahms and Beethoven. In his day, Liszt had amazed his listeners with an unprecedented virtuosity (proper ladies in attendance were prone to fainting spells). These days, brilliant concert and recorded performances of his music are common. That said, watching a keyboard virtuoso attack this mind-boggling concerto remains as awe-inspiring today as it must have been 160 years ago, when the dashing Franz Liszt drove the ladies and the critics mad. Symphony No. 2 in E Minor
Sergei Rachmaninoff
Stravinsky once referred to the lanky Rachmaninoff as “a six-and-a-half-foot scowl.” A playful description perhaps, since, despite his imposing countenance, Rachmaninoff was a warm and sociable fellow. Stravinsky’s description certainly can’t be supported by the love-drenched romanticism of the Second Symphony. This is music that exudes an all-embracing love, containing hardly a drop of darkness or cynical thoughts, so common in Russian music. No one would have blamed the composer for dipping into those emotions, considering the results of his first attempt at writing a symphony. The premiere of that work in 1897 was a humiliating disaster. Rachmaninoff called it “the most agonizing hour
of my life.” The conductor, Alexander Glazunov, was reportedly drunk and unprepared. Critics in attendance were merciless (one suggested that the piece came from a conservatory in hell). Rachmaninoff was so depressed that he couldn’t write a note of music for three years. So, what broke the spell? Dr. Nicolai Dahl, that’s what. In 1900 (ah, the freshness of a new century!), the composer visited Dr. Dahl, a respected hypnotherapist, who guided Rachmaninoff into a relaxed state where he could find his creative spark. It’s a story often told, because it led to the creation of the immortal Second Piano Concerto (which was dedicated to Dr. Dahl). That breakthrough also resulted in a new, steady stream of music: piano pieces, a cello sonata, songs, two operas, etc. Triumph followed triumph, but perhaps the most satisfying of all was the heralded premiere of the Second Symphony. Still, that one didn’t come easily. In the years following his recovery from depression, Rachmaninoff had steadily built an international reputation as an extraordinary pianist and conductor. But the need to write a symphony continued to gnaw at him. To escape the curse of that terrible concert of 1897, Rachmaninoff and his family left Russia and settled in Dresden, where work was undertaken in secrecy. Word got out, however, causing him to reluctantly acknowledge the rumors: “I have composed a symphony. It’s true! I finished it a month ago and immediately put it aside. It was a severe worry to me and I am not going
to think about it anymore.” The work was premiered in St. Petersburg in January, 1908 with the composer conducting, and it was a hit, quickly making the rounds of the world’s concert halls. While it was universally praised, the Second Symphony was often judged too long and meandering in spots, causing conductors to make cuts in the score. Only in recent years has the work returned to its original state. Memorable tunes, sweeping episodes, grand climaxes and shimmering orchestration can be found on nearly every page. The opening movement is laid out on a huge scale, through a dramatic series of ebbs and flows—not to mention snippets of melodic material that will appear elsewhere. An energetic second movement bristles with new-found energy, serving as a perfect set-up for the sheer loveliness of the Adagio. Here, a brief opening song from the violins (which inspired Eric Carmen’s ’70s hit, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again”) leads to a plaintive melody from the clarinet that seems the embodiment of love in all its glory. The robust finale once again presents an expansive theme by the strings—interrupted by the unexpected reprise of the Adagio’s love theme. As is heard in many of his works, the Symphony’s final bar proudly shouts out the composer’s signature, a unison statement of that deliciously rhythmic name—Rachmaninoff! —MARC SHULGOLD
JEREMY DENK “Mr. Denk, clearly, is a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs, in whatever combination—both for his penetrating intellectual engagement with the music and for the generosity of his playing.“ – The New York Times Jeremy Denk has established himself as one of America’s most thought-provoking, multi-faceted, and compelling artists. He has appeared as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the symphony orchestras of Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and London. He regularly gives recitals in New York, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia, and throughout the United States. This season includes a return to Carnegie Hall in recital, as part of a 13-city tour of the U.S., as well as a performance of Bach’s complete set of six keyboard concertos in a single evening with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Upcoming engagements include tours with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Denk is known for his original and insightful writing on music, praised by Alex Ross for its “arresting sensitivity and wit.” Denk’s writing has appeared in the New Yorker, New Republic, and on the front page of the New York Times Book Review. His website “think denk,” recounting his experiences of touring, performing, and practicing, was recently selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress Web Archives. Denk looks forward to performing and curating as music director of the 2014 Ojai Music Festival, for which he is also composing the libretto to a semi-satirical opera.
In 2012, Denk made his debut as a Nonesuch Records artist with a pairing of masterpieces old and new: Beethoven’s final piano sonata and selected György Ligeti Etudes. The disc was named one of the best discs of 2012 by the New Yorker, NPR, and the Washington Post. Later this year, Denk will release a recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. He has a long-standing attachment to the music of American visionary Charles Ives, and his recording of Ives’s two Piano Sonatas was selected for many “best of the year” lists. Last season, Denk was invited by Michael Tilson Thomas to appear as a soloist in the San Francisco Symphony’s “American Mavericks” festival, and he recorded Henry Cowell’s piano concerto with the orchestra. He has cultivated relationships with many living composers, and has several commissioning projects currently in progress. Denk has toured frequently with violinist Joshua Bell, and their album French Impressions was recently released on the Sony Classical label, winning the 2012 Echo Klassik award. He also regularly collaborates with cellist Steven Isserlis. He has appeared at numerous festivals, including the Italian and American Spoleto Festivals, and the Santa Fe Chamber Music, Verbier, Ravinia, Tanglewood, Aspen, and “Mostly Mozart” Festivals. He lives in New York City, and his web site and blog are at jeremydenk.net. ©

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.
