MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Established in 1906, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) is an arts leader and Australia’s oldest professional orchestra. Chief Conductor Sir Andrew Davis has been at the helm of MSO since 2013. Engaging more than 2.5 million people each year, and as a truly global orchestra, the MSO collaborates with guest artists and arts organisations from across the world.

The MSO performs a variety of concerts ranging from core classical performances at its home, Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne, to its annual free concerts at Melbourne’s largest outdoor venue, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The MSO also delivers innovative and engaging programs to audiences of all ages through its Education and Outreach initiatives.

The MSO also works with Associate Conductor, Benjamin Northey, and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Chorus, as well as with such eminent guest conductors as John Adams, Tan Dun, Jakub Hrůša, Mark Wigglesworth, Markus Stenz and Simone Young. It has also collaborated with non-classical musicians including Nick Cave, Sting, Tim Minchin, DJ Jeff Mills and Flight Facilities.Image courtesy Daniel Aulsebrook

SIR ANDREW DAVIS CONDUCTOR

Sir Andrew Davis is Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Lyric Opera of Chicago and Chief Conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. In a career spanning over 40 years, he has been the musical and artistic leader at several of the world's most distinguished opera and symphonic institutions, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra (1991-2004), Glyndebourne Festival Opera (1988-2000), and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (1975-1988). He recently received the honorary title of Conductor Emeritus from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.

One of today's most recognised and acclaimed conductors, Sir Andrew has conducted virtually all the world's major orchestras, opera companies, and festivals. Born in 1944 in Hertfordshire, England, Sir Andrew studied at King’s College, Cambridge, where he was an organ scholar before taking up conducting. His wide-ranging repertoire encompasses the Baroque to contemporary, and his vast conducting credits span the symphonic, operatic and choral worlds.

In 1992 Maestro Davis was made a Commander of the British Empire, and in 1999 he was made a Knight Bachelor in the New Year Honours List. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate by Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois.Image courtesy Dario Acosta

ANTON BRUCKNER (1824–1896)

Symphony No.7 in E, WAB 107 (ed. Robert Haas 1944)

Allegro moderatoAdagio, sehr feierlich und sehr langsam (very solemnly and very slowly)Scherzo, sehr schnell (very quickly)Finale, bewegt, doch night schnell (emotional, but not fast)

At the age of 60, the diffident, pious Anton Bruckner suddenly achieved international fame as a composer, and the work which catalysed Europe’s attention was the Seventh Symphony. Bruckner had moved from the provinces to the imperial capital in 1868 to take up a position at the Vienna Conservatory, as well as taking up an honorary appointment as organist to the Hofkapelle, or court chapel. In addition, he travelled as far afield as Paris and London in his capacity as one of the greatest organists of the age. But until the mid-1880s, his own music had failed to find a foothold in Vienna’s musical life.

This is partly the result of Bruckner’s idolisation of Wagner, which was anathema in a city where Brahms presided as the resident Great Composer, aided by a powerful clique of critics headed by Eduard Hanslick, who routinely attacked Bruckner’s music. Brahms similarly dismissed Bruckner until late in his own life.

Wagner, on the other hand, seems genuinely to have admired Bruckner’s

PROGRAM NOTES

work. The two composers had met in 1873 when Bruckner had approached Wagner for permission to dedicate his Third Symphony to the ‘Master of all masters’. Their meeting was a highlight of Bruckner’s life; Wagner’s acceptance of the dedication, with its implicit approval of Bruckner’s work, gave the latter immense confidence.

While working on the Seventh Symphony, Bruckner later remarked, ‘One day I came home and felt very sad. It occurred to me that the Master would soon die, and at that moment the C sharp minor theme of the Adagio came to me.’ And, indeed, during the composition of the slow movement, Bruckner heard the news of Wagner’s death, incorporating his grief into the final pages of the movement. But the piece as a whole was conceived before Bruckner’s premonition, and our response shouldn’t be over-determined by the Wagner connection.

The melody with which the first movement begins is a long and very beautiful tune that outlines the key of E major over two octaves, before moving through seemingly distant keys; a ‘false’ close gives way to yet more varied phrases and hints of further tonal exploration before returning to E major for a fuller restatement of the melody itself. The movement displays Bruckner’s habitual use of three contrasting groups of themes, the second of which is what he liked to call a ‘song-period’, and out of these he spins a lengthy series of contrasting

musical worlds, using key-relationships for maximum dramatic effect.

The key of C sharp minor, closely related to the work’s ‘home key’ of E major, is avoided throughout the first movement so that its appearance in the second is more emphatic. In this, the premonitory elegy for Wagner, Bruckner introduces four Wagner tubas. As in the slow movement of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, ‘very slow and very solemn’ material is contrasted with a theme in a different mood, speed and key. Bruckner was working on the climax of the movement – a majestic passage in C major – when he heard of Wagner’s death. He quotes a motif from his Te Deum – associated with the words ‘Non confundar in aeternum’ (let me never be put to shame) – but it is in the coda which follows with its almost Wagnerian horn calls that Bruckner farewells the Master.

After the catharsis of the Adagio, Bruckner produces one of his most delightfully energetic scherzos. Again, the movement’s key – A minor – has been avoided so far.

The Finale is constructed out of four sections: the first is in E major, and deliberately recalls the first movement in its use of the stable intervals of the common chord; the second and third sections are, respectively, in keys a third above and below E; finally the fourth section, using material based on the first, charts the journey from the key of A back to the home key.

Bruckner at first tried to stop performances of the Seventh Symphony in Vienna, fearing that Hanslick’s opposition would undermine his growing reputation. The work’s premiere was in the Leipzig Gewandhaus under Arthur Nikisch in 1884 and the applause lasted for 15 minutes. Wagner conductor Hermann Levi declared it ‘the most significant symphonic work since 1827’. Soon it had been heard throughout Germany as well as in New York, Chicago, Amsterdam, Budapest and London. When it finally was played in Vienna in 1886, Hanslick, predictably, wrote it off as ‘unnatural, blown up, unwholesome, and ruinous’ and his colleague Kalbeck memorably wrote, ‘It comes from the Nibelungen and goes to the devil!’

Actually, it is music about going to heaven, or, as composer and Bruckner scholar Robert Simpson puts it, ‘a patient search for pacification’. Appropriately, the Adagio was performed at Bruckner’s funeral. Gabriel Engel writes that ‘Brahms, a very sick old man, stood outside the gate, but refused to enter. Someone heard him mutter sadly: “It will be my turn soon,” and then he sighed and went wearily home.’Adapted from a note by Gordon Kerry © 2002

The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra first performed Bruckner’s Symphony No.7 on 17 and 18 May 1950 under conductor Henry Krips, and most recently on 21-23 November 1996 with Hans Graf.
