Humperdinck
Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) was a German composer best known for his opera Hänsel and Gretel (1893). Humperdinck studied voice and composition at the Cologne Conservatory. He was greatly influenced by Richard Wagner and assisted Wagner with a production of Parsifal.
Humperdinck began composing Hänsel and Gretel, based on the Grimm fairy tale, after his sister asked him to compose music for a play for her children. The full opera premiered in 1893 and was conducted by Richard Strauss, who declared it a masterpiece of the highest quality. In 1923 the Royal Opera House, London, chose it for the first-ever radio broadcast. Multi-talented Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) was born in Paris and began playing piano at age 3. Ten years later he entered the Paris Conservatory to study organ and composition. In 1857 he visited Italy, the first of many journeys to every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
PROGRAM NOTES Christine Sears, a senior at North Thurston High School, will perform Concerto No. 1 in A minor by SaintSaëns at today’s concert. Christine is a member of the Conservatory Orchestra and has participated in AllState and All-Northwest Orchestras since 2012 and has received superior ratings in regional competitions. Christine shares, I like the SaintSaëns concerto because it displays several aspects of the cello and the sounds it can make, from the depth of the C string to the bright higher registers and the false harmonics. I love the rich sound of the cello. I also enjoy its versatility; it can handle all types of music. Christine also loves to paint. Painting and cello both leave room for interpretation and originality, she says.
Saint-Saëns
His most well-known works are Danse Macabre, Carnival of the Animals, and his symphonic poems. Saint-Saëns also wrote poetry, plays, and essays. He had a lifelong interest in science and history. Saint-Saëns was buried in Paris’s Montparnasse cemetery, the burial place of many of France’s intellectual and artistic leaders. Concerto No. 1 in A minor (1872) is delightful, tuneful, and shows off the cello. Though the work is three movements, it is played without pause. It begins with one short chord from the orchestra, followed by the cello stating the main theme. The cello and orchestra then call back and forth to each other. The second movement features muted strings and a cello cadenza. The last movement returns to the main theme but ends with a major chord. This work influenced other composers to reexamine the cello as a solo instrument.
Already a private cello teacher, college-bound Christine is well on her way to achieving her dream to become a college professor of cello and have her own private studio.
Christine Sears
PROGRAM NOTES Peter Tchaikovsky (18401893) is one of the most popular Romantic composers. He studied law but left his civil service job to attend the recently founded St. Petersburg Conservatory. He began teaching music theory upon graduation, but after a disastrous marriage in Tchaikovsky 1877 he spiraled into a depression. He resigned his teaching position and traveled Europe and Russia for six years, supported by a wealthy patron. Tchaikovsky settled in a small Russian town where he experienced a surge of creativity. It was during this time that he composed his famous ballet Sleeping Beauty in only 40 days. Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Sleeping Beauty remain staples of the ballet repertoire. Capriccio Italien (1880) is based on Italian folk melodies Tchaikovsky heard during his travels to Italy. Capriccio opens with a fanfare based on a bugle call from the military barracks near Tchaikovsky’s hotel in Rome. This “capricious” piece has both emotional slow parts and lilting melodies. It ends with a big bang, as if all of Rome is celebrating.
Keadrin Dick is thrilled to perform Bruch’s Kol Nidrei at today’s concert. She exclaims, I finally get to have my dream come true: playing a solo with SOGO! Keadrin’s positive, can-do attitude has been a boon to the SOGO Executive Student Board. She has led projects such as instrument petting zoos, performance art, and Orchestras Feeding America. Keadrin is a senior at North Thurston High School. Besides playing cello, she spends her time singing, watching Elementary and Doctor Who, and diligently plowing through Calculus homework. She plans to attend a 4-year college and major Keadrin Dick in music and mathematics.
Max Bruch (1838–1920) was born in Cologne, where he received his early musical training under the composer and pianist Ferdinand Hiller. He had a lengthy career as a teacher, conductor and composer, moving among the major cities of Germany. Bruch taught composition in Berlin from 1890 until his retirement in 1920. Bruch’s works that are still performed today are Scottish Fantasy (1880), Kol Nidrei (1881), and virtuoso pieces for the violin and for the cello. Kol Nidrei, subtitled Adagio on Hebrew Melodies for Violoncello and Orchestra, is based on Hebrew melodies, principally the melody of Bruch the Kol Nidrei incantation from the Jewish Yom Kippur service. In a letter, Bruch wrote that, I became acquainted with Kol Nidre [sic] and a few other songs (among others, ‘Arabian Camel’) in Berlin…. Even though I am a Protestant, as an artist I deeply felt the outstanding beauty of these melodies.

CELLO 101
What are cellos made from? • • • •
Spruce (tops) Maple (back and sides) Ebony (fingerboard, pegs, and tailpiece) Pernambuco (bows)
Purfling is not superfluous
Purfling is the decorative inlay on the top and back of most cellos. Not just for looks, purfling can prevent cracks from forming when a cello is bumped or knocked.
Are cello strings really made from cat gut?
No. “Gut” core strings are made from sheep intestine. They have the warmest, most complex sound, but are the most difficult to work with. Synthetic core strings are usually made from nylon or Kevlar and wound with different metals. They have a rich tone, but are less affected by temperature and humidity than gut core strings. Steel core (“all metal”) strings are made from steel wire wound with metal. They are the most durable, and have the loudest and brightest sound. Steel core strings are also the least expensive type of string. Many players combine different string types on their cello.
What is a luthier?
Someone who makes or repairs lutes, violins, cellos and other string instruments. It comes from the French word luth, which means lute.
What pop songs have used the cello?
• • • • •
Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day Wonderwall by Oasis
