WELCOME “All good things must come to an end,” and so it is with my time with the Colorado Symphony. After nine seasons with this incredible ensemble, it has come time for me to say goodbye, and I can’t think of a better farewell than the program for my final Masterworks concert. Call it “shuffle” or “crossover” or whatever you like, I am a strong proponent of the notion of ending the musical segregation of styles into opposing musical corners, and this program draws a wide variety of artistic expression into one concert. Pat Metheny’s The First Circle and Minuano, translated to full orchestra by me, and interpreted in dance by our friends at Wonderbound, were chosen to compliment Victor Wooten’s bass concerto, co-composed with Coloradoan Connie Ellisor. The Honorable Terrance Carroll narrates text taken from the letters and speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Joseph Schwantner’s powerful, “New Morning for the World.” The only thing better than performing great music is performing it with people you love and respect, such as this orchestra and these guests. And speaking of love and respect, I would be remiss if I did not publicly acknowledge Dr. Gerald Rainer, Dr. Paula Bernstein, Young Park, John Wright, Sandi Elliott, and Dr. Michael G. Gundzik. They were on the Board of Trustees when I arrived nearly a decade ago, and they continue in that role today. Their commitment to art and to this organization is exemplary, as is that of Jerry and Mary Rossick Kern, our beloved Co-Chairs of the Board, whose character and actions continue to inspire me. And to all of you, whom I’ve gotten to know through our shared love of music, from the center of my heart, thank you!

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT

MEET WILLIAM HILL A master of the Timpani, William Hill showcases his poetic side with an original symphonic tribute to “The Raven.”

olorado Symphony Principal Timpanist William “Bill” Hill is a popular, and busy, person. Long-time patrons and newcomers alike can’t help but notice the charismatic, pony-tailed musician who commands the kettle drums, adding bombast, heft, and emotion to the world’s most powerful symphonic pieces. A multi-instrumentalist, teacher, and conductor, Hill is also an accomplished composer. His Symphony #3 debuted with the Colorado Symphony in January 2012 and was nominated for a Pulitzer and Grawemeyer prizes. A truly eclectic writer with an ear for music and instruments from across the world, Hill is a true bridger of genres, with influences that include symphonic, chamber, jazz, and global styles. He’s won commissions from Meet the Composer, the Colorado Music Teacher’s National Association, and the Denver Foundation. Hill recently wrote original themes for the new Union Station as well as OhHeckYeah, a groundbreaking multi-media video game that turned downtown into an immersive street arcade last summer. continued on page 22

This March, the Colorado Symphony will premiere Hill’s most creative composition yet – a symphonic tone poem on “The Raven,” Edgar Allen Poe’s poetic masterpiece. The piece was inspired by a conversation between Hill and Colorado Symphony Chorus Director Duain Wolfe, when the two were looking to create an original work for a large chorus. When they turned to the works of American authors as a possible source for a text, Hill was drawn to Poe, whose writing he had admired since boyhood. Here, Hill shares thoughts on the creative process, reinventing a masterwork, and why “The Raven” has enduring appeal, evermore: William Hill: “The Raven” is certainly an American iconic poem and the text will be familiar to almost everyone. It is quite daunting to set such a masterpiece to music, but the poem is quite musical in its flow and use of words, and its structure is perfect for a musical setting. Poe himself wrote an essay, “The Philosophy of Composition,” in which he describes in detail his techniques and methods in composing “The Raven.” The essay is an amazing blueprint for anyone interested in creative work. In “The Philosophy of Composition” Poe outlines his process of setting parameters for the poem, deciding on an “effect,” considering all the details from individual word choices to the overall architectural structure, and distilling the refrain down to the one word: “nevermore.” He composed the climactic stanzas (Poe uses the French denouement) first so that all the early stanzas can lead

“Poe said that for him the most beautiful human emotion is melancholy; how many times has something beautiful brought us to tears?”

toward this climax, and then the final stanza ties it all together. I composed using Poe’s essay as a guide, and even worked in the same order composing the music for stanzas 15 and 16 first. I have always composed using Poe’s method of outlining the structure and overall effect first, then making decisions on smaller details, and often having an ending or climax preordained in order to work toward and away from these architectural high points. The audience can expect a modern musical language that never loses sight of our great historic musical traditions. Poe said that for him the most beautiful human emotion is melancholy; how many times has something beautiful brought us to tears? In “The Raven,” Poe explores much of the gray area of human feeling, the subtleties where sadness, humor, logic, madness, hope, and despair all find their way into our minds. My music attempts to depict these same mysteries of our conscious and subconscious thought. William Hill’s “The Raven” premieres March 27 and 28, 7:30 pm, at Boettcher Concert Hall. With David Lockington, conductor; Peter Cooper, oboe; and the Colorado Symphony Chorus, Duain Wolfe, director. For more information, visit www.coloradosymphony.org.

INSIDE THE SCORE BIOGRAPHIES SCOTT O’NEIL, resident conductor This is Scott O’Neil’s ninth season with the Colorado Symphony, and his fourth full season as resident conductor. O’Neil maintains a strong commitment to making music of the highest quality accessible to young audiences. He served as associate conductor for the Utah Symphony, which he joined in August 2000. O’Neil studied piano performance at the Oberlin College Conservatory, served as the assistant conductor of the Eastman School Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras at the Eastman School of Music, and earned a master’s degree in orchestral conducting at Rice University, where he was the director of the Campanile Orchestra, a community/university orchestra. In the spring of 2003, O’Neil was selected by the League of American Orchestras to conduct an orchestra comprised of members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and advanced students from the University of Southern California in Synergy, a program created to promote young, contemporary composers. O’Neil is prominently featured with the Colorado Symphony as conductor and creator of the Inside the Score series, in addition to appearances on each of the Masterworks, Family, Pops, and Holiday Series.

TRACY SILVERMAN, electric violin Lauded by the BBC as “the greatest living exponent of the electric violin,” Tracy Silverman’s groundbreaking work with the 6-string electric violin defies musical boundaries. The world’s foremost concert electric violinist, Silverman was named one of 100 distinguished alumni by the Juilliard School. Formerly first violinist with the innovative Turtle Island String Quartet, Silverman has contributed significantly to the repertoire and development of what he calls “21st century violin playing.” His work has inspired several major concertos composed specifically for him, including Pulitzer winner John Adams’ “The Dharma At Big Sur,” premiered with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the gala opening of Walt Disney Concert Hall in 2003 and recorded with the BBC Symphony on Nonesuch Records with Adams conducting. Legendary “Father of Minimalism” Terry Riley’s electric violin concerto, The Palmian Chord Ryddle, was premiered by Silverman with the Nashville Symphony in Carnegie Hall in 2012 and recorded by Naxos Records, and Kenji Bunch’s Embrace concerto was co-commissioned by nine orchestras and premiered by Silverman in 2014. Silverman’s 2014 recording for Delos/Naxos Records, Between the Kiss and the Chaos, features the Calder Quartet collaborating on Silverman’s second electric violin concerto of the same title, and he is currently performing premieres of the full orchestra version of Nico Muhly’s Seeing Is Believing, commissioned by a consortium of five orchestras. The Chicago Tribune’s John von Rhein hailed Silverman’s “blazing virtuosity” and The New York Times’ Anthony Tommasini admired his “fleet agility and tangy expressivity”. “Inspiring. Silverman is in a class of his own,” wrote Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times.

INSIDE THE SCORE BIOGRAPHIES C.F. KIP WINGER, composer C.F. Kip Winger, the multi-platinum, AMA nominated artist, has earned six Top 40 singles and may be known best for his success with Winger and his early days as a bass player with Alice Cooper. However the range and scope of his musical journey can be more fully experienced in his solo albums, This Conversation Seems Like a Dream, Songs from the Ocean Floor, From the Moon to the Sun and his most recent composition Ghosts, for String Orchestra. Piano and Harp, which has become a successful Ballet, choreographed by Chistopher Wheeldon for the San Francisco Ballet. In 1995, after his hugely successful run with Winger, Kip built a studio in the hills of Santa Fe, New Mexico and started writing and producing music without limits. During that time I was exposed to composers like Stravinsky, Debussy and Ravel, I thought to myself, “who wrote this music? So I set out on a path to learn classical composition while playing “Van Halen in bars at night.” Over the years Kip has continued to pursue his interest in composition. The Tucson Symphony Orchestra became the first orchestra to perform a C.F. Kip Winger composition with the world premiere of Ghosts on the Masterworks Chamber Orchestra Series in the 2009/10 season. A recording of Winger’s orchestral music has just been recorded by San Francisco Ballet Orchestra and will be released later this year. C.F. Kip Winger continues to tour with Winger and is currently working on orchestral commissions with three American symphony orchestras.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES Dmitri Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 99 Dmitri Shostakovich was born on September 25, 1906, in St. Petersburg and died on August 9, 1975, in Moscow. The Violin Concerto was composed in 1947-1948. Its duration is approximately 36 minutes; it is scored for solo violin, three flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), three oboes (3rd doubling English horn), three clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet), three bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), four horns, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, celesta, and strings. The last performance by the orchestra was on January 13-15, 2012, with Karen Gomyo as the violin soloist and Pietari Inkinen conducting. On no other major recent composer has more ink been spilt attempting to understand what thought processes and motivations reveal the true self than that on Shostakovich. The evidence is fought over, sifted, and re-sifted to build the case that he was a musically-gifted, but incredibly naïve, tool of the worst instincts of Stalinism. Or, on the other hand, that he was a musically-gifted, but wondrously deceptive, resident critic of the terrors of Soviet Communism. Even — something of both, for Shostakovich left a maddeningly ambiguous record of his inner thoughts. His artistic life is a case study in the tragic difficulty of being true to one’s own sense of artistic integrity and vision, while balancing that with the practical necessity of having any opportunity to exist at all--both as an artist, or even as a human being--in an oppressive totalitarian society. Accordingly, his compositions varied in their styles over the decades. Those of his early maturity were composed under the daily fear of his vanishing in Stalin’s purges of the 1930s; during the “Great Patriotic War” with the Nazi government, the national effort allowed artists a bit more latitude in their expressions. But the clamp down after the war produced understandable, but confusingly coöperative “artistic confessions” of his lack of sufficient sensitivity to collectivist politics. Thus, his long line of fifteen symphonies is marked by a few embarrassingly “populist” potboilers, as well as by his immortal masterpieces. Shostakovich was equally capable of writing satirical compositions that scathingly excoriate the excesses and flaws of Western Democracies, as well as works of dark and profound passion that lament the fundamental tragedies of universal human experience. It is tempting for those who enjoy easy freedoms of artistic expression to hold others from other times to a high moral standard and to adjure them to not “sell out” their integrity. But few major composers have endured such political and artistic oppression, as did Shostakovich. Which brings us to his first violin concerto. The impressive gifts of the great Russian violinist, David Oistrakh, led Shostakovich to begin the composition of the concerto in Summer 1947, while in the meantime, epic political events were brewing. Andrey Zhdanov, head of state affairs for the arts, was orchestrating a campaign to repress those artists who were not sufficiently toeing the Stalinist line for accessible music for the proletariat. The storm erupted in January 1945, when Shostakovich, Prokofiev, and others more or less had their non-conformist compositions proscribed. Consequently, the violin concerto went into what Shostakovich called “the drawer” – a metaphor for works that were dangerously out of political fashion, and which he kept to himself. After Stalin’s death in March 1953, the concerto and other great works came out of “the drawer,” and musical posterity is much the richer. The violin concerto is dedicated to Oistrakh; he collaborated with some revisions and played the première with the Leningrad Philharmonic in October 1955. Cast in four movements, rather than the typical three, it is a dark, serious, and weighty affair, and clearly symphonic in both scope and composition. Bearing little resemblance to SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 7

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES violin concertos that feature memorable melodies and an emphasis upon showy virtuosity, Shostakovich’s work is a formidable intellectual challenge as well a musical one — and for the soloist, it must be said, a physical one, as well. The first movement, “Nocturne,” is, of course, an unusual way to begin a concerto, and the mood is more than crepuscular--it is a study in pessimistic reflections at midnight. The orchestra stays well out of the way, yet provides a backdrop of somber dark, rich colors as the soloist relentlessly weaves a weft of tentative, searching melodic lines that pose questions, but no answers. Some have aptly compared it with the sad, elegiac first movement of Elgar’s Cello Concerto — a reflection of the death and destruction of WWI. Most symphonies have a scherzo as an inner movement, and in this concerto Shostakovich has written one that is obviously related to the common trope of a “dæmonic,” “satanic,” or “devil’s” violin. This image goes back to the Middle Ages, and has been common coin in musical compositions since the nineteenth century. The strings mostly retire here, as the soloist engages with the unusual colors in the threatening woodwinds. Here, as in the last movement, there is a hint of Jewish scales and melody — but only a hint. Shostakovich about this time had composed other compositions on specifically Jewish themes as a counter to anti-Semitism, and that interest surfaces here, as well. The composer’s famed mastery of musical sarcasm pervades the frenetic virtuosity. The third movement — clearly a dirge--is a case in point as a target for Stalin’s apparatchiks, ever vigilant for the artistic sin of “formalism” — that is abstract music without palpable reference to the glories of collectivism. It is a passacaglia, a centuries old technique that uses a repeating bass line (think of the Pachelbel canon) to generate structure. Here, the bass line is seventeen bars long, repeated nine times, with Shostakovich’s skill as an imaginative orchestrator coming to the fore. Each repetition of the bass theme is clothed in new orchestra colors, building into heart-rending intensity with each iteration. Finally, when there seems to be nowhere else to go in this stress and passion, the soloist plunges into a challenging cadenza of unprecedented power, length, and drama. It practically takes on the significance of a fifth movement, and eventually takes us right into the last movement, Burlesca. It’s a riotous, wild affair, threatening to careen out of control, with familiar elements of Shostakovich’s style propelling us along: Russian dancing and drinking, Jewish folksongs, vicious social parody, among others. As this vital composition drives to a smashing conclusion, the audience will perhaps be as exhausted as the orchestra and soloist. Notwithstanding his putative, occasional acquiescence to the oppressive Soviet state, the Violin Concerto, along with its peers, is eloquent testimony to the genius of the real Dimitri Shostakovich.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 5 in C-sharp minor Gustav Mahler was born on July 7, 1860, in Kalischt, Bohemia and died on May 18, 1911, in Vienna. His Fifth Symphony was composed in 1901-1902. Its large orchestration calls for four flutes (3rd and 4th doubling piccolo), three oboes (3rd doubling English horn), three clarinets (3rd doubling bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet), three bassoons (3rd doubling contrabassoon), six horns, four trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, and harp. Duration is approximately 72 minutes. The last performance by the orchestra was on June 4-6, 2010, with Jeffrey Kahane on the podium. When Gustav Mahler died in 1911, at the age of fifty-one, his years cut short by heart disease, by most measures he had enjoyed an enviable life and career. He was respected as one of the most effective and innovative of opera conductors; his leadership of some of the world’s most admired symphony orchestras had set new artistic standards; his songs and his symphonies were beginning to enjoy a modicum of success in respected artistic circles; and he was married to one of the most attractive, talented, and vivacious women in Europe. But, that is a sadly incomplete picture. In point of fact, after ten years of leading the musical life of the world’s most important musical city, he was hounded out of his tenure as conductor of the court opera and the Vienna Philharmonic by an unrelenting anti-Semiticism of unprecedented virulence. The Viennese press attacked him without mercy, lampooning his conducting gestures and attributing every ostensible weakness to his Jewish background. His subsequent, brief career at the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic had soon grown stale as he succumbed to his fatal illness. Those who did not appreciate and understand his music held the majority, and he was roundly ridiculed for its general incomprehensibility, eccentricity, and wildly personal nature. His beloved little daughter, Maria, had died at the age of four from diphtheria. And, the passion of his life Alma Schindler Mahler, had repeatedly betrayed him in more than one deeply wounding incident. Taken altogether, his life was a series of contradictions: profound successes, abysmal disappointments, and little in between. Symphony No. 5, the first of three symphonies often grouped together as “middle-period” works, was begun during the summer of 1901. It was finished the next summer, right after his marriage to the beautiful Alma. A marriage from Hell — psychological, that is — if there ever was one. But at that time, he was beside himself with joy. However, as we shall see, that joy comes to expression in this symphony only in one well-known movement. The first movement opens with a solo trumpet fanfare, one of the most famous in the literature, and revered by trumpet players everywhere. But it is not the inspiring call to noble deeds that most presume it to be. Rather it is perhaps one of his most characteristic uses of the commonplace to set up a parody of everyday existence, for a funeral march is what follows. Think of it as a pedestrian bugle call. This is a decidedly unusual way to begin a symphony — complete slow movements rarely do so, much less one conceived as a funeral march. After some dark brass chords from the abyss, the march tune proper begins — a solemn affair, but the careful ear will hear in the violins an occasional snatch of a bit here and there of maudlin Viennese dance hall allusions. Here again, is the typical Mahlerian juxtaposition of radically different cultural experiences. Then, soon there arrives a justly famous galvanizing moment: in Mahler’s score indications — “Suddenly faster, impassioned, wild.” Wild it is; commentators and performers alike have heard it as “hysterical screaming,” and as the voice of murderers and victims, no less. This cosmic terror — not unusual in the composer’s music — soon subsides and a bit of the opening fanfare takes us back to the sentimental salon music disguised as a funeral SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 9

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES march. The movement proceeds to its dissolution, with the “bugle calls” marking the end. Mahler marks the second movement as “Stormy,” and it palpably begins as such. But, typically, there soon arrives a genial broad melody in the strings, accompanied by a gentle chirping in the woodwinds. The alternation of storm and sentimental reflection continues—with the occasional little march--as Mahler, in his words, “kneads” the myriad musical possibilities of his material. And then, a magical Mahler moment, as the brass section luminously peals forth a radiant, affirmative chorale. The sonorous warmth doesn’t last long—they hardly have a chance to finish — before the storm returns. It winds down quickly, though, as various sections and soloists play the short little motive that has been so important. As quiet, isolated “rain drops” fall, the solo tuba gets the last word and the storm is over. The third movement in symphonies is usually a dance, or dancelike one — going all the way back to the days of Haydn — and Mahler doesn’t disappoint us. This one is a graceful (mostly) waltz, and why not? It’s Vienna, after all. But, it’s a really long one, beginning cheerfully, and moving from one interesting idea to another, all of the time affording the composer ample opportunity to engage in contrapuntal textures. Unlike much of the rest of the symphony, however, the textures are often spare and open, giving us plenty of space to really hear the exposed lines. There are serious moments as it proceeds to move through lengthy musical territory, but they’re not dark, stormy, or terror filled — just intense exploration of contrapuntal ideas where almost everyone gets an exposed opportunity to solo a bit. Finally, a recitative-like passage for various solo brasses — especially the first horn — signals the end, followed by a rush to the cadence by the whole orchestra. And now, what is perhaps Mahler’s most well known music, the famous “Adagietto.” It is the added movement in the symphony, and gained worldwide fame for its constant use in the film, “Death in Venice” (1971). Simply put, it’s an intense love offering to Alma, written in the summer of 1902, right after their marriage. He worshiped her, and it shows eloquently here, almost painfully so. Especially considering the checkered relationship that plagued them almost from beginning to end. He met her while she was having an affair with her music composition teacher, Alexander Zemlinsky, and he died while she was in a notorious, semi-public affair with Walter Gropius, later one of the founding fathers of modern architecture (the Bauhaus School). Mahler’s letters to her, his anguished notations in his musical scores — they’re almost embarrassing — are a testimony to his long-suffering devotion to her. But, in the moment there was happiness, even if he exaggerated it in his mind. Not only newlywed bliss, but also incredible beauty — all in the music. After his death she blithely went on to collect serially other geniuses as her lovers. If the purity of the love he expressed was only in his mind, well, irony was Mahler’s middle name. After all the turmoil, stormy passions, and terror, the last movement finally arrives, and it is a cheerful affair — much to the relief of many. However, from the work’s première, this very upbeat mood has been the target of not a few critics — starting with Alma, herself — who have felt that it was a somewhat forced, and uncharacteristic way to follow all that had gone before. “How can all of that lead to a cheerful ending? It’s got to be insincere.” Be that as it may, most enjoy it that way, and after a few little bucolic solos from both the woodwinds and brass, the bustling, happy finale begins. Mahler chose a very traditional form for this last movement, a rondo — its use goes back to the early days of the symphony — and it’s merely the alternation between material that comes back from time to time in recognizable fashion and episodes PROGRAM 10 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES of new material. What is most likely welcome, as well, for the audience is that Mahler’s tunes and motifs are usually easy to remember and recognize. The texture is not so dense, and we can follow the composer’s counterpoint, as the main melodic elements intertwine rather like a very long, and fragmented fugue. The drive to the end is mostly constant, with sudden, short outbursts in the brass and timpani that signal brief changes in the musical territory. There’s a lot of ground to cover, but gradually we sense the growing tension underlying the end. A short, peaceful interlude of repose, featuring the woodwinds, provides a break before the serious final drive. A rhythmic sea of overlapping melodies builds, posing the question: what possible conclusion can top all this off? Mahler’s answer — and, as noted above, it was controversial from the outset — is to bring back the aborted brass chorale from the second movement. This time, over sizzling string activity, he allows it to soar out in a truly magnificent and inspiring fulfillment. After this glorious moment, nothing else is possible but a short frenzied drive home. Craftsman to the end, even in this quicksilver crash to the conclusion, Mahler ends with allusions to the little outbursts from earlier on, and to the main ideas. Along with moments of transcendent beauty, there is also much that challenges, perhaps perplexes, or even offends, here. Nevertheless, it provides a convincing representation of Mahler, the man, as much as Mahler, the composer. Famously, when compared with the easy, widespread approval of the music of his friend — and rival — Richard Strauss, he simply remarked, “One day people will separate the wheat from the chaff — and when his day has passed, then my time will come.” — Wm.
