Program Notes
Symphony No. 1 in D Major, op. 25 “Classical” (1917)
Sergei Prokofiev composed his “Classical” Symphony, one of the most popular concert works of the 20th century, during a period that spanned the years 1916–1917. He completed the orchestration on September 10, 1917. The world premiere of Prokofiev’s “Classical” Symphony took place in Petrograd on April 21, 1918. The composer led the former St. Petersburg Court Orchestra.
By this time, the October Revolution had taken place and Prokofiev felt that under the circumstances, staying in Russia would inhibit his growth as an artist. On May 7, 1918, Prokofiev departed Russia for the United States, “intending to return within a few months. I took with me the Scythian Suite, the Classical Symphony, the First (Piano) Concerto, and my pianoforte pieces.” More than a decade would pass before Prokofiev would be able to reconcile with the people and government of his native land.
Despite the turbulence that plagued Russia during the composition of this piece, the work represents Prokofiev at his wittiest and most carefree. Perhaps this is not that surprising, given that the piece is Prokofiev’s tribute to the greatest of symphonic humorists—the 18thcentury Austrian composer, Franz Joseph Haydn (1732–1809). In his autobiography, Prokofiev described his approach to this beloved work: It seemed to me that had Haydn lived to our day he would have retained his own style while accepting something of the new at the same time. That was the kind of symphony I wanted to write: a symphony in the classical style. And when I saw that my idea was beginning to work, I called it the Classical Symphony: in the first place because that was simpler, and secondly for the fun of it, to “tease the geese,” and in the secret hope that I would prove to be right if the symphony really did turn out to be a piece of classical music.
The “Classical” Symphony is in four brief movements. The first is a bracing Allegro. Prokofiev directs that the central theme of the slowtempo second movement (Larghetto) be played molto dolce (“very sweetly”). The third movement is a Gavotte, a court dance in 4/4 time. The Finale (Molto vivace) brings the “Classical” Symphony to a joyful close. —Program note by Ken Meltzer
Emory Wind Ensemble
The Emory Wind Ensemble (EWE) is a nationally recognized organization dedicated to performing wind literature of the highest caliber while nurturing individual artistic excellence within an ensemble setting. Membership is determined by audition each fall. Concert programming comprises a wide variety of styles, forms, and genres from several centuries of compositional practice, designed to provide comprehensive exposure to the masterpieces for winds and percussion from the Renaissance period through the modern era. A flexible instrumentation is employed with predominantly one player per part, giving students the opportunity to experience true wind ensemble performance practice.
The EWE performs two concerts each semester, regularly participates in world premieres of new music, tours the United States and abroad, and is a national leader in the commissioning of new music, including works by Warren Benson, Steven Bryant, Stephen Paulus, Bruce Broughton, Jennifer Higdon, Libby Larsen, John Mackey, David Maslanka, Jonathan Newman, and many others. In 2017, the ensemble was showcased by the College Band Director’s National Association among its peer institutions with a citation for musical excellence at the “Small Band Showcase,” presented at the Association’s National Conference in Kansas City.
The EWE’s recent collaborations include performances with the Emory University Chorus; the Emory Dance Company; Emory’s Mary Emerson Professor of Piano William Ransom; Chris Martin, principal trumpet of the New York Philharmonic; Stuart Stephenson, principal trumpet of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; Joe Alessi, principal trombone of the New York Philharmonic; Adam Frey, international euphonium solo artist; and Grammy Award–winning solo clarinetist Richard Stoltzman.
The EWE has performed concert tours of Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Lucerne, Graz, Prague, Vienna, and Greece. Additionally, it has performed at the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) State Convention in Savannah, Georgia; at the Southern Division College Band Directors National Association Conference (CBDNA); and for various events on Emory’s campus, including the inauguration of James Wagner as president of Emory University. Most recently, a brass ensemble made up of EWE members performed live during a national broadcast by the National Basketball Association. The EWE is recorded on the NAXOS and Centaur music labels.
