WELCOME

On a bleak Sunday night about eight years ago I was travelling by overnight train across Europe. I arrived in Venice at 10pm and my overnight train to Rome left at midnight. The station was deserted, I was ravenous and it was freezing. I took a chance and jumped on a vaporetto along the Grand Canal and headed to Piazza San Marco as the snow fell. There was just one little place still open. I had a quick bite and began to make my way back across the piazza. I could hear the echo of my boots in the snow as I walked, and as I looked up I suddenly realised I was absolutely the only person there in the whole of the Piazza San Marco. Incredible. No pigeons, no people, just me, the cold and the night. It was a moment I will never forget, and it was like receiving a beautiful and secret gift from the city of Venice itself.

This was the first layer of the gift, and the second came as I was catching the fast vaporetto to the train. I looked up and there was the Ospedale della Pietà, the home of the orphaned and abandoned girls of Venice where Vivaldi worked for over thirty years as musician, director, composer and teacher.

Handel was the original “idol”. He was a star in his day. These days an “Australian Idol” may become famous for a fleeting moment in time, but Handel has always been, and will always be, popular. If iPods existed in the eighteenth century, everyone would have had Handel on their playlist. Even today, people of all ages find a thrill and excitement in his music. No matter which century, Handel’s music has remained in vogue because of its mass appeal.

I don’t really know who Handel was, although I was fortunate enough to play a concert in his house in Brooke Street, London, a few years ago. From

my musicological knowledge and the atmosphere in his home, I sense that Handel was a man of enormous character, a dramatic man, but also one with a great sense of humour – a genius. Whether the dramatic situation called for exuberance, anguish, terror or adventure, Handel composed music to express all these feelings and more. He could depict, in a single phrase of music, that perfect sense of emotion. And let’s face it, Australians love fireworks!

I’ve had the enormous pleasure of working with extraordinary artists during my career. I first met Sara Macliver in 1991, not long after I had founded the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and it wasn’t long before I brought her to Sydney to work with me. Sara and I forged a long musical relationship over many years. Soon after I had the fortune to work with Fiona Campbell and I knew I had two perfect singers for my style of classical music. Fast forward to 2014 and it’s time to celebrate the Brandenburg Orchestra’s 25th Birthday!

I wanted to capture and celebrate the exuberance and excitement of this very important milestone with all the flair, colour and recognition such an anniversary deserves and so I specially commissioned a new work from my old friend and celebrated composer Elena Kats-Chernin to mark the event. Our new commission from Elena, Prelude and Cube, pays homage to Bach, offering a glimpse into the world of the baroque and a triumphant celebration of my dynamic period instrument Orchestra and Choir. I’m thrilled that this fabulous work now has a new Western Australian vigour here tonight with the magnificent West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

I hope you enjoy the concert.

WASO IN THE COMMUNITY

Harmony Music A WASO Brass Quintet visited Castlereagh School on 12 May as part of our Harmony Music Program. It was a fantastic morning enjoyed by all 60 students and 50 staff members who attended. Students heard music of all styles including classical, jazz and music from movies, such as the very popular "Frozen" and theme from Pink Panther. A highlight was the Toccata from L’Orfeo. The musicians played this piece on their instruments and then played it again on hose-a-phones. A hose-a-phone is an instrument made of a piece of garden hose and a funnel! This brought much delight to the students, and it was a wonderful way to demonstrate that musical instruments can be made out of almost anything. The musicians then visited the students in their classrooms to give them a closer look at their instruments. The students loved hearing the instruments up close, and having their picture taken with our WASO musicians.

Harmony Music is supported by Mitsubishi Corporation

WASO ON THE ROADWASO on the Road Regional Touring commenced with a fanfare when a WASO Brass Quintet travelled to the Goldfields recently. Leinster Community School, where we were joined by students from Wiluna Remote Community School, was our first stop for a day of activities including a creative workshop to help students make 82 ‘hose-a-phones’. Students then performed the iconic Queen melody “We Will Rock You!” along with our WASO musicians as a fun finale to the Community Concert that evening. From there, it really was time to be “on the road”, as we travelled 370km to Kalgoorlie, stopping off at Leonora District High School and Menzies Community School, performing for students, staff and families in these communities. WASO was then welcomed back to Kalgoorlie-Boulder with performances, have-a-go sessions and side-by-side rehearsals in four schools. Thursday evening saw the Brass Quintet perform a final Community Concert in the beautiful surroundings of the Kalgoorlie Town Hall. What a week!

MEET THE MUSICIAN

Jane SerrangeliViolin

What initially inspired you to play the violin?When I was in grade two we were sent home with a note explaining that we could choose to learn either the violin or the cello. My parents selected the violin for practical reasons, i.e. it fitted easily into the car.

Beyond the violin what else do you love?When I was very young my Mum once hid my violin and I found it in the pantry! Perhaps that food/violin connection is the reason one of my favourite things to do is invite friends over to play chamber music, drink wine and have dinner. There is something immeasurably wonderful about music scores which can sit silently on shelves for months or years but when opened and played, can create something emotional and alive. Sometimes I think it’s possible to feel music so strongly it’s hard to believe you can’t stretch out your fingers and touch it or see it swirling around you.

If you had to choose any other instrument to play in the orchestra, what would it be? If I could play another orchestral instrument, it would be the cello with its deeper and mellow voice. It has a lot of great repertoire written for it, and does not need to be lifted onto one’s shoulder like a violin. From the perspective of a violinist who must lift the violin up and down at least one hundred times a day in rehearsal, that is a huge bonus.

What is your most memorable concert experience? Very memorable last year, was the Brahms Festival and the year before that, the Beethoven Festival. Both are among my favourite composers and to be so totally immersed in their music with Asher Fisch conducting was an incredible and wonderful experience. The interest, warmth and passion shown not only by orchestra members, but audiences as well was exciting and gratifying. It nearly made me forget the physical pain and exhaustion engendered by the playing of thousands of tiny notes!

Do you have a favourite holiday destination? Last year I made a trip to France for some French culture, shopping and of course eating. I had a few days in Paris and then stayed with a friend in Normandy in a small village. The Tour de France went through the village the day after I arrived. It was such a wonderful experience.

Also, I have tried skiing in Switzerland and Canada and would love to improve, perhaps in the French or Italian Alps.

Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741)

Born in Venice, Antonio Vivaldi died in poverty in Vienna and was buried in an unmarked grave, despite a colourful life as a renegade priest, music-master, womaniser, composer of – among other things – 500 or so concertos (of which about 250 are for his instrument, the violin), and one of the great virtuosos of all time. His music was rarely if ever played between his death and the 1930s, when musicians in Italy began rediscovering his huge and varied output of works. With the interest of music scholars like Alfred Einstein, composer Alfredo Casella and poet Ezra Pound, the revival of Vivaldi began; by the end of the 20th century he was one of the most popular and frequently performed composers.

Gloria in D, RV 589

This Gloria was the first of Vivaldi’s 60 or so sacred works to become well known, indeed famous. It was revived shortly before World War II. The opening chorus, with its simple but highly memorable brilliance, shows immediately why it was an exciting discovery for music-lovers. Those who knew Vivaldi’s concertos would have recognised in the Gloria the same brilliance and vitality while finding a breadth of scale, an epic quality and a range of musical expression found in few of the concertos.

Vivaldi’s main task at the Ospedale della Pietà orphanage in Venice was training the girls in instrumental playing, and supplying music for them to play. But in the years when the Pietà was without a choir master, he could be called upon to compose music for the chapel. His fame as a writer of choral music soon spread outside Venice. Louis XV of France, for example, commissioned from Vivaldi a Te Deum to celebrate the birth of his twin daughters in 1727.

Vivaldi wrote two known settings of the Gloria, of which this one appears from its style to be the later. It splits the text of this section of the Mass into separate movements, in the manner of the ‘cantata’ masses of composers from Naples, which J.S. Bach also followed in his Mass in B Minor. The fact that all the solos are for female voices strongly suggests that the Gloria was composed for the girls at the Pietà, who probably sang the tenor and bass parts in the chorus as well (the bass parts an octave above pitch).

Glossary

The use of a trumpet in the opening and closing choruses of the work adds to its extrovert character. The simple but memorable leaps in the invigorating orchestral opening was a type of music considered new and exciting in Vivaldi’s day. On this foundation Vivaldi places the chorus, singing in block harmonies.

From then on this Gloria is notable for the carefully balanced sequence of vocal groupings, keys, metres, and tempos. The second movement, ‘Et in terra pax’, immediately reveals a wide range of harmony and expression, which has reminded some listeners of J.S. Bach – who was indeed an admirer of Vivaldi’s music.

In the ‘Gratias’ and ‘Propter magnam gloriam’ there are touches of a stricter, more severe musical style, which contrasts with the almost blithe siciliano dance of the ‘Domine Deus’ for solo soprano with oboe obbligato; and also with the dotted rhythms in French overture style of the ‘Domine Fili’. Soloist and chorus alternate in the ‘Domine Deus, Agnus Dei’ which is followed by the daring and powerful harmonies of the choral ‘Qui tollis’.

The music of the ‘Qui sedes’ has more than a suggestion of the character of the opening ‘Gloria’, and in fact prefigures the return of that music for the ‘Quoniam’. The final fugue ‘Cum Sancto Spiritu’ is an adaptation by Vivaldi of a 1708 Gloria by Ruggieri, closing a work remarkable for its pervading sense of unity within variety.

George Frideric Handel (1685 - 1759)

Music for the Royal Fireworks

OuvertureBourréeLa PaixLa RéjouissanceMenuet I & II

On a spring day in 1749 Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks caused a massive traffic jam in London. So many Londoners thronged to Vauxhall Gardens for the public rehearsal that traffic on London Bridge was halted for three hours. The actual performance on 27 April 1749 was attended by even more excitement, as the fireworks were a failure and the wooden building erected in the park to shelter courtiers caught fire.

The Fireworks music was commissioned by King George II to celebrate the signing of the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, the treaty that brought an end to the Austrian War of Succession. The King and Handel disagreed over the nature of the music: the King insisted on a military band without the strings that Handel wished to use. Handel conceded the point and amassed all the winds and percussion he could find: 24 oboes, 12 bassoons, contrabassoons, nine horns, nine trumpets, side-drums and three pairs of kettle-drums. He revised the work shortly after its premiere, and a month later presented it (with strings) at a benefit concert of the Foundling Hospital in Hatton Garden.

The work is in the form of a French suite, comprising a grand overture and a string of dance movements, each with its own flavour. The Bourrée, a cheerfully transparent piece, contrasts well with the sonorous La Paix (Peace), a siciliana. La Réjouissance (The Rejoicing) is not really a dance, but a genre piece. The suite ends with two minuets, the first in the minor and the second more triumphantly in the major.

Prelude and Cube

When Paul Dyer commissioned me to compose a new work to celebrate the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s 25th anniversary in 2014, I felt compelled for the piece to have a connection to J.S. Bach and in particular his Magnificat which was to be performed in the same concert.

The orchestration for Prelude and Cube is almost the same as Magnificat. It was my aim to feature each instrument in this wonderful orchestra, with added soprano saxophone soaring over the top of the period instruments in the piece: the strings, organ, harpsichord, theorbo, choir and winds as well as timpani and tubular bells. In the premiere performance season Paul was conducting from the harpsichord.

I see this piece as a glimpse into Baroque style, using some elements that we associate with this era, including moving bass and particular repetitive chord sequences.

The first movement, Prelude, is expansive and opulent. I wanted to combine both pomp and passion for Paul’s majestic orchestra, leaving plenty of room for individual colour and large-scale emotion.

The second movement, Cube, is more zesty with a robust rhythmic drive and vigorous energy. The textures are sometimes delicate, sometimes dense. I drew the texts from the Magnificat and from a hymn by Martin Luther. Some of the text in Cube praises Bach himself and his creations: ‘Wie wunderbar sind Deine Werke!’ (How wonderful are your works).

First performance: 19 February 2014, City Recital Hall, Sydney. Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Brandenburg Choir. This is the first performance of the work by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.
