A NOTE OF WElCOME

W elcome back for more great music! Coming concerts are superb examples of the

amazing talent and versatility of our musicians. Along with much loved pieces by Ravel, Gershwin and Dvořák, this month, the SSO welcomes Arrival from Sweden in a rocking tribute to Abba on February 20.

You have probably heard or read about the challenges that many arts organizations, including our Symphony, are facing in this difficult economy. The Symphony exists for the benefit of our community, and we rely

on the community to ensure that the Symphony keeps on playing. How can you help us in these uncertain times?

First, subscribe. There are many subscription options available, including the Post-Standard Classics, M&T Bank Pops, Stained Glass and Central New York Community Foundation Family Series. Our Customer Service representatives will even customize a series for you. Just call Christie or Melissa at (315) 424-8200 or go to SyracuseSymphony.org.

Second, bring your friends, neighbors or relatives to a concert so they may also experience this fine Orchestra.

Third, please give generously to the SSO’s Annual Fund.

The quality of music you are experiencing would not be possible without the generous support of patrons like you. If you have already contributed, THANK YOU.

Fourth, volunteer. The SSO is always in need of volunteers to assist with education programs, mailings and other projects. For only $25, you may also join the Syracuse Symphony Association, which is engaged in many projects that support the SSO, including the Encore Thrift Shop and Prelude Store, the Practice Marathon and twice-yearly musician luncheons. This is a great opportunity to go behind the scenes and get to know our staff and musicians.

Lastly, please give us your input. You may contact the SSO staff by mail, or through the SSO website.

Thank you again for supporting the SSO. I hope to see you at many concerts in the coming months.

Rocco ManganoChairman

O ne of the things that I enjoy about the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra is the diversity of our

offerings.We at the SSO have always

taken seriously our charge to provide something for every taste, and as you leaf through this book, you’ll see that mission in action. An irreverent Broadway revue; Ravel’s Bolero;Dvořák’s New World Symphony—our concerts in February, including a special event, an ABBA retrospective on February 20, demonstrate our commitment to diverse programming,

and we hope that you will encourage your friends to take advantage of the many and varied concerts that your orchestra will present this winter.

We also take seriously our charge as stewards of the funds that we raise. As longtime Symphony goers know, ticket revenues alone cannot provide the funds that we need to continue to bring great music to the Crouse-Hinds Concert Theater stage week after week. We rely on the generosity of donors from all walks of life to provide the operating support we need, and we are careful to spend those dollars wisely. We spend less than 10 cents on administrative costs for every dollar we raise, and our donors can feel confident that at least 90% of their contributions are applied directly to the costs of producing concerts and education programs.

You may have seen a recent newspaper article that detailed the work of professional telefunders, companies that are hired to help raise money through soliciting contributions over the phone. Yes, the SSO uses such a firm, a firm that is well respected and used by many orchestras around the country. And yes, some of those transactions are more expensive than 10 cents on the dollar.

But the dollars raised through telefunding are dollars that we would not otherwise be able to bring in to support the programs that you enjoy. Telefunding has proven to be an efficient way to bring new donors into the SSO family and to obtain feedback from our community about our programs and services. It is an important tool in our overall development toolbox, one that we will continue to use prudently.

Why is this important to mention? Now, more than ever, we need our donors’ support, and we need them to trust that we use their contributions wisely and well. You have my word that our raised funds are spent efficiently and with our donors’ best interests at heart.

Thank you for supporting the SSO through your attendance here today. Enjoy the performance!

FAIR TRADE WINDS HAVE CARRIED YOU HERE...

...to an island in the South Pacific. Wartime conflict rages on, but it’s far, far away. You and your naval

shipmates are living a different adventure—of tropical breezes and white sand beaches, of swaying plam trees

and native sirens in grass skirts. In the languid island atmosphere, you mingle with the colorful locals, be-

witched by lively island muisc, and barter with Bloody Mary while tattooist Sailor Jerry works on a fellow

squid next door. Then, as an orange-pink sky gives way to purple evening, you join Emile de Becque for dinner at his lush island plantation. The food is delicious, the wine divine, and the entertainment magical. For this

one enchanted evening, all cares are forgotten—and all dreams seem possible.

Join us on May 2, 2009.

ARTISTIC LEADERSHIP

DANIEL HEGEMusic DirectorNow in his ninth season as Music Director of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, Daniel Hege is recognized as one of America’s finest young conductors and has earned acclaim for his fresh interpretations of the standard repertoire and his commitment to creative programming. In 2001, he finished a five-year tenure as Resident Conductor of the Baltimore Symphony

Orchestra, where he worked closely with David Zinman and Yuri Temirkanov.

Mr. Hege first attracted attention when he won the post of Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Young Musicians’ Foundation Debut Orchestra in Los Angeles. He served, concurrently, as Director of Instrumental Music at the Orange County High School of the Arts and Assistant Conductor of the Pacific Symphony Orchestra. Since then, he has served as Music Director of the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra (where he was twice honored by the American Symphony Orchestra League for innovative programming), Encore Chamber Orchestra of Chicago, Haddonfield Symphony Orchestra in New Jersey, and Newton Mid-Kansas Symphony Orchestra.

Mr. Hege has guest conducted leading orchestras including the Baltimore, Columbus, Colorado, Detroit, Houston, Louisville, Oregon, San Diego and Seattle Symphony Orchestras, the Rochester, Calgary,

Naples and Louisiana Philharmonics, and has won acclaim abroad for his performances with the Leicester Orchestra of England, Singapore and St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestras, Auckland Philharmonia, and the Symphony Orchestra of Lima, Peru. He has guest conducted at the Music Academy of the West, National Orchestra Institute, the National Repertory Orchestra, the Aspen and Grand Teton music festivals, and in most recent years, has regularly conducted opera and ballet performances.

Under Mr. Hege’s artistic leadership, the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra performed a critically acclaimed concert to a sold-out audience at Carnegie Hall in April 2003. He oversaw the release of the SSO’s live Classics Concert CD in 2000, the Holiday Pops release just two years later, and the SSO’s July 2006 release, Big Band Bash. Other recordings include Done Made My Vow, a CD of works by Adolphus Hailstork with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Morgan State Choir; Violin Concertos by Black Composers of the 18th and 19th Centuries (Cedille), with violinist Rachel Barton Pine and the Encore Chamber Orchestra (nominated for a 1998 NPR Heritage Award); and The Gift, a collection of Christmas arrangements on Woodland Records with oboist Brad Smith.

Mr. Hege studied with Daniel Lewis of the University of Southern California and with Paul Vermel at the Aspen Music Festival and holds degrees in history and music at Bethel College and a masters degree in orchestral conducting at University of Utah.

A 2001 40 under 40 Honoree, Mr. Hege received an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from Le Moyne College in 2004. He is active as a guest clinician and adjudicates various musical competitions nationally. He resides in Jamesville, NY with his wife, Katarina Oladottir Hege, and their three daughters.

Free Pre-Concert Talks Please join us prior to every Post-Standard Classics concert, on Friday and Saturday at 7:00 p.m. in the concert hall, and hear Daniel Hege and guests discuss the works to be performed that evening.

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY AND FORBIDDEN HOLLYWOOD

Forbidden Broadway was first seen at Palsson’s Supper Club on New York’s Upper West Side in January 1982. What began as a simple cabaret act to give creator/lyricist Gerard Alessandrini a showcase for his talents and the opportunity to “find an agent” became New York’s longest running musical comedy revue. Hailed by critics and audiences alike, Forbidden Broadwaywon Drama Desk, Obie and Outer Critics Circle awards and captured the heart of the theatre industry itself. Many of its legendary “victims,” including Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Bernadette Peters, Tommy Tune, Angela Lansbury, Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, and Andrew Lloyd Webber, were among the celebrities who stopped by to applaud first-hand. Updated regularly for each new theatre season, Forbidden Broadway ran to packed houses at the 75-seat Palsson’s through August 1987. In September 1988, the show re-opened at the 125-seat Theatre East, where it ran an additional five-and-a-half years.

The show also became known for talented but as yet unknown actors, many of whom have gone on to stardom in various venues: Jason Alexander (Seinfeld’s George Costanza), Chloe Webb (Twins and the PBS series Tales of the City), Davis Gaines (Phantom), as well as Roxie Lucas (Damn Yankees), Gregg Edelman (City of Angels), Dee Hoty (Will Rogers Follies), Michael McGrath (Spamalot, The Martin Short Show) and Brad Oscar (The Producers).

Forbidden Broadway’s success was repeated in Boston, where it enjoyed a 6-1/2-year stay at the 250-seat Terrace Room; Chicago and Boca Raton, Toronto and Philadelphia, Kansas City, Denver, San Diego (two engagements including Forbidden Christmas), a record-breaking run in 1994 at the Tiffany Theatre in Los Angeles, Sydney, Tokyo, and Singapore among many others. In 1999, after a sell-out engagement at London’s Jermyn Street Theatre, it transferred for the summer to the famed Albery Theatre in the West End. Forbidden Broadway’s return to the Tiffany Theatre in Los Angeles in the spring of 2000 garnered two more Ovation Awards.

In the fall of 1996, the Forbidden crew turned their attention back to their first love: Broadway. A new edition of the show, Forbidden Broadway Strikes Back! returned to New York and its original home on West 72nd (now called the Triad), where it once again delighted audiences with its fast-paced spoofs of current Broadway shows and stars. The return of FBwas again greeted with raves from critics (The New York Times called it “triumphant”) and the show won the Drama Desk, Lucille Lortel and Drama League Awards. Bob Hope, Bea Arthur, Stephen Sondheim, Angela Lansbury, Savion Glover, George C. Wolfe, Elaine Paige, Rosie O’Donnell, Dame Maggie Smith and the casts of Lion King, Aida, and Rent are among the recent attendees. The show moved to the Douglas Fairbanks Theatre on 42nd Street with a brand new edition, Forbidden Broadway 2001: A Spoof Odyssey, which won the 2001 Drama Desk Award for Best Revue. Forbidden Broadway’s 20th Anniversary Edition was followed by Forbidden Broadway:SVU, which won yet another Drama Desk Award for Best Musical Revue in 2005. Most recently, the show was recognized with a Tony Honors Award, for being an integral part of the theatre community for over twenty-five years.

As long as there’s a Broadway, Forbidden Broadway will be there, poking, prodding, teasing, pleasing, jeering and cheering, but always with love.

Diamond’s Music for Romeo and Juliet – Diamond wrote that he wanted to convey “the innate beauty and pathos of Shakespeare’s great drama” in a setting for small orchestra. Although stemming from a story set in Renaissance Italy, the music has the contemporary feel of American music in the mid-20th century. Each of the five movements paints a glowing picture of one of the memorable scenes from Shakespeare’s play.

Ravel’s G-Major Piano Concerto – Sparked by a snap of the whip, the concerto’s first movement is effervescent, though tinged with irony and spiced by jazz sonorities. The deceptively simple slow movement is lyrical and transparent, an exquisite span of pure melodic filigree. Brassy, irreverent chords and a thump of the bass drum reestablish the opening mood of gaiety, as the playful finale brings the concerto to an exhilarating conclusion.

Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue – Gershwin said he conceived most of this one-movement jazz “concerto” on a train, and many of its tunes have the jangly rhythm of a train ride. From its eye-popping opening bars—a low clarinet trill giving way in a rising smear to a high melody for muted trumpet—it has the restless, urban energy of the jazz age. A dignified interlude for lush strings that occurs later on has become one of the iconic themes of American music.

Ravel’s Boléro – Though he was writing it as a ballet score, Ravel intended this piece primarily as an exercise in composing for contrasting instrumental sounds. He began with a single hypnotic melody and repeated it multiple times over unvarying rhythmic accompaniment, with little change beyond instrumentation and constantly increasing volume. But this dry statement of the work’s technical means gives no idea of its cumulative effect in performance, where the obsessive repetition builds tension to an overwhelming climax.

BRIEF NOTES

Music for Shakespeare’s Romeo and JulietThis is the SSO’s first performance of Music for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

D iamond, who followed Aaron Copland’s lead by studying in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, has become one of America’s most honored and respected composers. He is credited with 11 symphonies,

three violin concertos and one for cello, several ballets, and numerous other works for orchestra, piano, chamber ensembles, and voices. He also composed the theme used in the 1950s for the CBS series “Hear It Now” (on radio) and “See It Now” (on television). His writing is lyrical and usually tonal, enjoyable for audiences and performers alike. Listening to his music, one can get the feeling that Diamond would have been more famous if Copland had not already become so widely known and honored.

Born near here in Rochester, Diamond trained at the Cleveland Institute and at the Eastman School under Bernard Rogers, with additional studies under Roger Sessions and Mlle. Boulanger. He was a longtime member of the faculty of the Juilliard School, where his students included Adolphus Hailstork, Eric Whitacre and Lowell Liebermann. He was named honorary composer in residence by the Seattle Symphony, which has recorded much of his music, including the Music for Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

His five-movement suite was inspired by Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet and composed as “pure concert music” in 1947. Thomas K. Sherman, to whom the work is dedicated, conducted the first performance in the same year with the Little Orchestra Society of New York. The Overture is sunny and festive, giving little hint of the unhappiness in store. The “Balcony Scene” mainly uses the strings of the

orchestra to suggest the welling of emotions that accompanies the lovers’ first nocturnal meeting. In “Romeo and Friar Laurence,” the confessor’s wise counsel elicits music of warmth and compassion. The childishly carefree writing of “Juliet and Her Nurse” reminds us that Juliet is a young girl, not yet 14. Her bright, skipping music from the woodwinds is contrasted with smoother and lower-voiced music from the strings to represent the good-natured Nurse. Diamond ends his suite with “The Death of Romeo and Juliet,” providing music of nobility and tenderness as the scene in the tomb moves to its heartbreaking close.

Actress Olivia de Havilland, who owned a copy of the 78-RPM recording that was made at the time of this suite’s concert premiere, liked Diamond’s music and recommended it to the producer and director when she starred in a 1951 Broadway production of Romeo and Juliet.Rather than letting them chop his music up into short snippets, the composer wrote an entirely separate score of incidental music for that production. (Though never published, it is available for rental for use with the play.)

Instrumentation: 2 flutes doubling piccolo, 2 oboes and English horn, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, timpani, percussion, harp and strings.

THE BIG PICTURE

David Diamondb. July 9, 1915

in Rochester, NYd. June 13, 2005

in Brighton, NY



Concerto in G Major for Piano and OrchestraLast performed by the SSO in May 1999 with Grant Cooper conducting and Alan Feinberg as piano soloist.

Composed in the autumn of his life, the two piano concertos of Maurice Ravel show a refreshing wit and brilliance of conception. Elements of jazz and blues jostle with Parisian élan. “Wrong-note” harmonies and bitonality add sparkle to their assured formal construction. The one-handed D Major Concerto is darker, more tortured. Although the G Major features a middle movement of great depth of feeling, its outer movements adopt a joyful, carefree attitude. Neither shows any evidence of the debilitation that would shortly end Ravel’s composing.

In 1928 conductor Serge Koussevitzky, who had earlier premiered Ravel’s orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition, approached the

composer about a new work for the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the celebration that was to elicit Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms along with works by Hindemith, Prokofiev, and others. Although Ravel mentioned the possibility of writing a piano concerto for Boston, he never did so. A project for an opera about Joan of Arc was occupying him at the time. The opera was never written, but he began work on a concerto the following year.

Ravel had not gotten far when the one-armed pianist Paul Wittgenstein asked him for a piano concerto for left hand alone. Intrigued by the challenge, Ravel worked primarily on the vaguely menacing left-handed Concerto in D Major over the next nine months, even as the brighter G Major Concerto continued to progress slowly. Once the D Major Concerto was completed, Ravel turned full attention once again to the two-handed one, finishing it in another year.

He later said in an interview: “The G-major Concerto took two years of work, you know. The opening theme came to me on a train between Oxford and London. But the initial idea is nothing. The work of chiseling then began....Writing music is 75 percent an intellectual activity.”

American jazz was all the rage in Paris in the 1920s and ’30s, influencing such composers as Milhaud, Honegger and Ibert. Ravel had met George Gershwin and spoke glowingly of his jazz-infused music. The atmosphere of jazz that pervades Ravel’s own concerto has made it a favorite with such jazz luminaries as Gil Evans and Miles Davis. The work’s central movement, Adagio assai, is said to have been used in the soundtrack of a new movie called The Missing Person, now in post-production.

Ravel planned to be soloist in the new concerto and to take it on a world tour. His health was deteriorating, however, and he decided to conduct the work instead and entrust the solo part to Marguerite Long, whose interpretations of his solo works he admired. After the successful premiere (called “the finest artistic event of the season” by reviewer Emile Vuillermoz), he ignored doctors’ orders that he should rest and went on a four-month tour with Miss Long, performing the concerto in 20 European cities. They also recorded it.

Ravel’s composing career was cut short by an undisclosed nervous malady well before death claimed him in December 1937. His only composition after the G-Major Concerto was the 1933 song cycle Don Quichotte à Dulcinée.

Instrumentation: flute and piccolo, oboe and English horn, clarinet and E-flat clarinet, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, trumpet, trombone, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, snare drum, slapstick, gong, triangle, woodblock, harp and strings.

Rhapsody in Blue, for Piano and OrchestraOrchestrated by Ferde Grofé

Last performed in February of 2001 with Daniel Hege conducting and Terrence Wilson as piano soloist.

It is hard now to imagine the excitement that Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue created when it was first heard. Jazz was considered low-brow music, fit for dancing or as a background for social chit-chat, but not at all welcome in the concert hall alongside the music of the great masters. George Gershwin was known as a songwriter, a tunesmith who could set toes tapping with a Broadway melody or hips swaying with a well-wrought ballad. True, he had written a one-act opera, Blue Monday, but that was for inclusion in George White’s Scandals of 1922 on Broadway, and it had lasted for only one performance before being cut from the show.

Most people did not know that Gershwin had been fostering classical ambitions since childhood, that he had studied harmony and counterpoint for a number of years with the Hungarian-born composer Edward Kilenyi, or that he had accompanied the classical recital of mezzo-soprano Eva Gauthier in New York in 1923.

The pit-band conductor for George White’s Scandals of 1922 was Paul Whiteman, who like Gershwin had higher ambitions for his music. Whiteman told Gershwin that someday he planned to put jazz into the concert hall, and he promised to commission a work from Gershwin. Rhapsody in Blue was premiered two years later as the centerpiece of just such a concert. The event got plenty of notice because of Whiteman’s astute promotion: this was to be not simply a series of dance tunes but an important “Experiment in Modern Music.” Jazz was to be “emancipated,” a concept underlined by scheduling the concert on Lincoln’s birthday.

In the audience that evening were Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz,

Leopold Stokowski, Walter Damrosch, Sergei Rachmaninoff and John Philip Sousa, as well as several respected critics. Deems Taylor wrote in his review that Gershwin’s work was of such quality that “he may yet bring jazz out of the kitchen.” The public sensation was so great that the February concert was repeated in March and again in April, and Gershwin and Whiteman recorded the Rhapsody that June and again three years later.

Gershwin later recalled how he went about composing the work: “I was summoned to Boston for the premiere of Sweet Little Devil [January 1924]. I had already done some work on the rhapsody. It was on the train, with its steely rhythms, its rattle-ty-bang that is often so stimulating to a composer...I frequently hear music in the very heart of noise. And there I suddenly heard—and even saw on paper—the complete construction of the rhapsody, from beginning to end...I heard it as a sort of musical kaleidoscope of America—of our vast melting pot, of our unduplicated national pep, of our metropolitan madness. By the time I reached Boston, I had a definite plot of the piece.”

Jazz tunes and Broadway songs, even today, are seldom arranged in their final instrumentation by the composer. That’s a job for specialists. Rhapsody in Bluewas prepared for performance by Whiteman’s arranger, Ferde Grofé (whose talent for instrumental color is most famously displayed in one of his own compositions, the Grand Canyon Suite). Grofé did both the jazz-band version heard at the work’s premiere and the arrangement for full orchestra that was published two years later, which has become the version of the piece most often performed.

Smart Giving Thinks Local

Running a business in Central New York was very rewarding, and has inspired us to give back to the community that supported us. Our success gave us the means to open a donor-advised fund at the Community Foundation, which offers a simple, flexible and cost-effective vehicle for managing our charitable giving.

We closed our private foundation in favor of a donor-advised fund because of the low fees and ease of management. It is comforting to know that we can count on the Community Foundation as stewards of our permanent fund, faithfully executing our charitable wishes even after we are gone.

We have been blessed with success, thanks to the support of our community over the years. We give locally as a way to show our appreciation, and invite others to join us in giving back through the Community Foundation. It truly is Where the Smart Money Gives.

THE POST-STANDARD ClASSICS SERIES

SAMUEl WONG, CONDUCTOR

Samuel Wong first came to international attention with his New York Philharmonic debut in 1990, stepping in for the late Leonard Bernstein, and then, in 1991, replacing Zubin Mehta.

In addition to having held music directorships with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Honolulu and Ann Arbor symphony orchestras and New York Youth Symphony,

Samuel Wong has appeared as guest conductor with major orchestras across the globe. He has presented world premieres with many orchestras, including 15 premieres in Carnegie Hall. He was featured in the 1991 PBS special, “Carnegie at 100” and on “CBS Sunday Morning.” He regularly collaborates with many of today’s most distinguished artists.

A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, Dr. Wong began his dual career as assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic in 1990 and music director of the New York Youth Symphony in Carnegie Hall. He writes and lectures on the power of music in healing the mind and body. His essay, “Musical Healing” was published as the cover article for the summer 1999 issue of the Harvard Medical Alumni Bulletin.

PHIlIPPE QUINT, VIOlINPhilippe Quint was born in

St. Petersburg, Russia. He left the former Soviet Union in 1991 and is now an American citizen who harbors a strong commitment to the music of his new country, frequently performing works by William Schuman, Lukas Foss, Leonard Bernstein, Ned Rorem, John Corigliano, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Lera Auerbach.

Mr. Quint studied at Moscow’s Special Music School for the Gifted with violinist Andrei

Korsakov, and made his orchestral debut at age 9. After coming to the United States, he earned both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Juilliard and graduated in 1998. He has studied with Dorothy Delay, Cho-Liang Lin, Masao Kawasaki and Felix Galimir, as well as Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman and Arnold Steinhardt. Mr. Quint has amassed top prizes at the Juilliard Competition (‘98); Spain’s Pablo de Sarasate International Violin Competition (‘97), where he also received the Special Audience Prize; and the Salon de Virtuosi Award (‘97). He has been a Career Grant recipient of the Clarisse B. Kampel Foundation since 1996 and the Bagby Foundation since 2002.

He plays the Stradivarius 1723 “Ex-Kiesewetter” violin on loan to him from Clement and Karen Arrison, through the generosity of the Stradivari Society.

Husa’s Fresque – Can music be compared to painting? In this 11-minute tonal picture, listen for emphatic strokes in bright colors, for contrasts of lower instruments (darker pigments) and higher sounds (lighter colors), and for recurrences of melody and rhythm that help bind the work into a pleasing composition.

Korngold’s Violin Concerto – Here is powerful support for the theory that romantic music went underground and found a home in Hollywood movies in the middle of the 20th century, while such modern techniques as serialism and atonalism reigned over the classical-music world. A great composer, who happened to write soundtrack music, used themes from his film scores (see the note below for their titles) to create a wonderful concert work for violin and orchestra.

Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony – This picturesque postcard sent to the Old World of Europe is as thoroughly Czech as anything that Dvořák wrote, but its inspiration comes from his experiences in America. A theme in the first movement suggests a few notes from the middle of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.” Both the Largo and the Scherzo, he said, were inspired by scenes from Longfellow’s epic poem, The Song of Hiawatha. The dynamic finale begins with a noble, forward-looking march and incorporates reminiscences of all the preceding movements.

Fresque This is the SSO’s first performance of Fresque on the Classics Series.

I n a 1988 interview, Karel Husa said: “If to express human feelings—joy, love—is romantic, then I am romantic. Expressing a fight for freedom must be romantic, too. I think that music can express these

things and I don’t want to be a cerebral composer. I want to be inventive, to have a score that will reveal something interesting and intriguing and sophisticated to the performer or conductor, or to another composer. At the same time, it must be musical and warm, and show that I care about other people.”

When the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia forced the closing of all the technical schools, Husa was frustrated in his ambition to become a civil engineer. Falling back on his love for music, he entered the Prague National Conservatory to study composition and conducting. Even before receiving his graduate degree in 1947, he accepted a scholarship for study in Paris, working with Arthur Honegger and Nadia Boulanger in composition and such conducting teachers as André Cluytens. In 1948 the communist government that had seized power in Czechoslovakia summoned him to return home, but he resisted, instead making his early career as a conductor and composer deeply involved in the musical life of Paris.

Accepting a three-year teaching position at Cornell University

BRIEF NOTES THE BIG PICTURE



in 1954, Husa moved to Ithaca with his wife and two daughters, becoming a U.S. citizen in 1959 after the position became a permanent appointment. He remained on the Cornell faculty in an endowed chair as Kappa Alpha Professor until 1992. At Cornell, he conducted the

university orchestra, and he has led an active guest-conducting schedule across America and Europe, leading bands and orchestras large and small, amateur and professional.

Many honors have come to Husa, including the Grawemeyer Award in 1963 for his Cello Concerto and the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his Third String Quartet. Cornell University has named an endowed position for him, the Karel Husa Visiting Professor of Composition. Among his honorary degrees are ones from Ithaca College and the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Among Husa’s most popular compositions is Music for Prague 1968, a moving threnody for Czech freedom, snuffed out by the brutal Soviet-bloc invasion of that year. It has by now received more than 7,000 performances around the world. After the fall of communism, he made an emotional return to his

homeland, where his music had not been heard since 1948, to conduct this work in Prague itself. A favorite of his own is The Apotheosis of This Earth, composed for band in 1970 and later revised for chorus and orchestra, which he describes as motivated by his lifelong love of the natural world and “by the present desperate stage of mankind and its immense problems with everyday killings, war, hunger, extermination of fauna, huge forest fires, and critical contamination of the whole environment.”

The music heard at this weekend’s performance began during Husa’s earliest Paris years, as part of his Tři fresky for orchestra, published with the French title Trois fresques (Three Frescoes), Op. 7, in 1947. Sixteen years later, the composer revised the first of these and issued it as Fresque.It was originally composed during his studies with Honegger, and many listeners compare it to Honegger’s colorful symphonic poems such as Pacific 231 and Rugby. Other commentators have noted influences of Bartók, noting that Husa conducted the first European recording of Bartók’s ballet The Miraculous Mandarin.

This is music that compares itself to a large fresco painted on a wall or ceiling. In the liner note for a recording of the work, Leland Jonathan Yee wrote, “Darker hues are represented by the piano, low, muted brass, and woodwind, while lighter colors are suggested by the brighter timbres of piccolo, flute, and strings. The middle of the piece blends the different hues, while strong chords, heard most emphatically towards the end, bind this piece together. Repeated syncopated rhythmic motifs areRepeated syncopated rhythmic motifs are prevalent throughout the composition and serve to add cohesion to all the diverse elements.””

Instrumentation: 2 flutes and piccolo, oboe and English horn, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 2 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, piano, harp and strings.

Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 35Last performed by the SSO in September 2001 with Daniel Hege conducting and Pip Clarke as soloist.

Born in the provincial Bohemian city of Brno, Korngold grew up in Vienna, where his father was a respected and influential music critic. His talent ripened early, and his ballet The Snowman, composed when he was just 11 years old, was produced at the court opera. By age 14 he had an international reputation, supported by works premiered by such eminent musical figures as Bruno Walter, Artur Schnabel, and Arthur Nikisch. He had been pronounced a genius by Mahler and praised wonderingly by Richard Strauss and Puccini.

Korngold’s best-known theatrical works are his incidental music for Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing (1919) and his opera Die tote Stadt (The Dead City, 1920), in which Maria Jeritza made her Metropolitan Opera debut. For the concert hall he composed a sprightly Sinfonietta (at age 14) along with other works. In 1932 a Vienna newspaper polled its readers to determine the greatest living composers. The winners were Schoenberg and Korngold.

He first visited Hollywood in 1934 to adapt Mendelssohn’s music for the Warner Brothers film of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.Subsequent scoring projects included Captain Blood, The Prince and the Pauper and Anthony Adverse, for which he won an Academy Award in 1937. Warner Brothers rushed him back to Hollywood from Vienna in January 1938 to score The Adventures of Robin Hood, but Korngold took one look at the half-completed movie and turned the project down. Before he could leave, however, the Nazis took over in Austria. Korngold could not return home. He scored Robin Hood (which won him another Oscar) and settled in Hollywood, eventually becoming an American citizen.

After the war, while continuing to work on movie scores, Korngold returned to writing classical works, including his fifth opera, The Silent Serenade. Among the orchestral scores of his later years were concertos for violin and for cello, a Symphonic Serenade for strings, Theme and Variations, and a Symphony. Where his childhood works had been considered amazing for their modernity, however, the subsequent musical revolution led by Stravinsky and Schoenberg now made his late-Romantic language seem old-fashioned to critics and commentators. His involvement with Hollywood worked against him, too—no one who wrote for the movies, it was felt, could be taken seriously as a

composer. His music suffered neglect and denigration until the mid-1970s, when Die tote Stadt was revived in New York and recorded. The Symphony was recorded in the same period, and Korngold’s reputation as a classical composer began to receive an overdue reappraisal.

The Violin Concerto was begun in 1937, at the suggestion of the composer’s father, the eminent Viennese music critic Julius Korngold. Impressed with a theme Erich had written for the Errol Flynn movie Another Dawn, Julius suggested that it might serve as the basis for a violin concerto. Erich quickly sketched out the entire work and asked a violinist friend to play it for him. This private performance reportedly went so badly that the composer shelved the work. He did not revive and complete it until 1945, when his wife encouraged him to resume classical composition. All three movements share themes with his film scores of the late 1930s, and commentators find it tantalizing to wonder whether he borrowed themes from his films for the concerto or vice versa.

The work is lush and rhapsodic, intended, the composer said, “for a Caruso rather than a Paganini.” Though Korngold hoped that his friend, the violinist Bronislaw Huberman would premiere the work, that honor eventually went to the great Jascha Heifetz, who introduced it at a 1947 concert in St. Louis. The score is dedicated to Mahler’s widow, Alma Mahler-Werfel, who was also living in Hollywood then and whom Korngold had known since childhood.

The main theme of the first movement is the one inspired by the music from Another Dawn, and the second subject is a love theme he used for the 1939 film Juarez. The middle-movement Romance has an ardently singing melody that also appears in the 1936 movie Anthony Adverse. The vivacious Finale is a rondo whose recurring theme comes from The Prince and the Pauper of 1937.

Instrumentation: 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes doubling English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons doubling contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, timpani, orchestral bells, xylophone, vibraphone, cymbals, bass drum, harp, celeste and strings.

Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95, From the New WorldLast performed by the SSO in February 2004 with David Lockington conducting.

Dvořák’s celebrated sojourn in America served as capstone to an already illustrious career. The son of a butcher from a small town in Bohemia, he had been named Professor of Composition at the Prague Conservatory, elected to the Czech Academy of Art and Science, decorated with an order from the imperial government in Austria, and awarded honorary doctoral degrees from both the University of Prague and England’s Cambridge University.

Small wonder that the energetic American philanthropist, Jeannette M. Thurber, wanted him as director of her recently opened National Conservatory of Music. Besides the publicity value of his name, an important part of her plan in bringing him to New York was the hope that he could spark the formation of a school of nationalist American composers. His teaching duties were intentionally kept light to allow time for composition.

Dvořák responded well to America’s call for leadership. He sought out different types of folk music, using melodic fragments or folk-like themes in several works written during his stay here. He was especially impressed with African and Native American songs sung to him by students of the Conservatory. The composer’s principal source of African American songs was Henry T. Burleigh, a young student who later made a career singing and publishing arrangements of spirituals. To expose Dvořák to music of Native Americans, Mrs. Thurber took him to see Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. He was later to meet a traveling band from the Kickapoo tribe when he spent the summer of 1893 among Czech compatriots in Spillville, Iowa.

With so much folk material as stimulus, he began work on a new symphony, his first in four years. Intended to show that indigenous American music could permeate a serious work in much the same way that his earlier symphonies had partaken of Czech influence, it was subtitled From the New World, both as an indication of where it was written and in acknowledgement of its sources of inspiration. At its first performance an outpouring of applause greeted every movement. After the Largo, Dvořák had to stand and bow from his seat. The critic H. E. Krehbiel wrote that “the staidness and solemn decorum of the Philharmonic audience took wings.” Published soon after, the symphony quickly penetrated wherever orchestra concerts were given, even in

Korngold dedicated his Violin Concerto to childhood friend Alma Mahler-Werfel, a Viennese-born socialite who became the wife of composer Gustav Mahler, architect Walter Gropius and finally novelist Franz Werfel, as well as the consort of several other prominent men including Oskar Kokoschka. Bride of the Wind, oil on canvas, is Kokoschka’s 1913 self-portrait expressing his unrequited love for Alma,

countries that previously had ignored Dvořák’s music. More than a century later, it remains his best-loved composition, performed not only in the USA and Europe, but also in Asian and South American countries.

Analysts agree that, despite Dvořák’s researches into indigenous music and his intention to write an American-flavored symphony, the New World is still a strongly Czech work. Dvořák could not shed a lifetime of immersion in Czech music. The American songs to which he was most attracted were probably those that bore some resemblance to the music he already knew. But whatever its essence, it is an undoubted masterpiece, a sincere and original utterance of great dramatic power.

The symphony’s opening movement, in sonata form, is preceded by a slow introduction that sets the work’s mood of earnest nobility. As the Allegro molto begins, two horns play the up-rising main theme (already heard in the introduction) together, echoed by solo oboe.

The beginning of another, softer theme, heard first from solo flute, sounds like the notes for chariot in “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.”

The movement ends in a triumphant climax.The Largo features a sad song for English horn.

This lovely melody is so strong in folk-like flavor that, when sung as “Goin’ Home” to words added later, it has often been mistaken for an actual spiritual. Dvořák explained, however, that it was inspired by the scene of Minnehaha’s funeral in The Song of Hiawatha.

A symphony’s third movement is the traditional place for a stylized dance music, and Dvořák has evoked a spirited country dance in his scherzo. Although the dancers could just as convincingly be Czech peasants, he wrote that he had in mind “the feast in Hiawatha where the Indians dance.” The “chariot” theme is quoted at the end.

A dignified and majestic march provides the finale, a movement of splendid sweep and assertiveness. In the course of the music, themes from all three previous movements are recalled, a final unifying element in an already impressively cohesive work.

Instrumentation: 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboe and English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, triangle and strings.

The Syracuse Symphony Orchestra is in the midst of a $2 million campaign to raise funds to improve the retirement benefits for our musicians. We are pleased to announce that long time supporters Elsa and Peter Soderberg have pledged $1 million toward this campaign as a challenge to the SSO Family to raise an additional $1 million to match their generous gift. More than $500,000 has already been pledged toward this challenge, and we would like to thank the Soderbergs and the following donors for their extremely generous support and their commitment to our musicians.

Retirement Improvement Initiative

Rhapsody in Blue has never flagged in popularity since that electrically charged evening in 1924. It easily lays claim to the title of most frequently performed work by any American composer, heard everywhere from airplane earphones to the British TV series Dr. Who. It gives its name to and is performed in its entirety in the film biography of Gershwin (1945), and it can been heard in many other movies, including Woody Allen’s Manhattan and Disney’s Fantasia/2000.

Instrumentation: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 3 saxophones, 2 bassoon, 3 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, orchestral bells, gong, snare drum, triangle and strings.

BoléroMaurice Ravel

Last performed by the SSO in January 2006 with Grant Cooper conducting.No one was more surprised than Ravel at the popularity of Boléro.Writing against a short deadline for a ballet commission from the dancer Ida Rubinstein in 1928, he produced what he considered to be less a composition than an exercise in orchestration. Deciding to create a ballet score by arranging some piano pieces from Ibéria by Albéniz, he discovered to his indignation that Albéniz’s heirs had assigned all orchestration rights to Fernández Arbós (who subsequently issued five of the pieces from Ibéria as an orchestral suite). Ravel would have to write some original music after all.

Still determined to concentrate on orchestration, he came up with what he later described impersonally as “a rather slow dance, uniform throughout in its melody, harmony, and rhythm, the latter being tapped out continuously on the drum. The only element of variety is supplied by the orchestral crescendo.” The choreographer for the ballet’s premiere was Bronislava Nijinska, sister of the famous Ballets Russes dancer, Vaslav Nijinsky. Other choreographers have responded to the work’s challenge, and it has even been danced in the annual Christmas spectacular at Radio City Music Hall.

Ravel was convinced that without the visual interest of choreography the music would be boring. He predicted no life for Boléro in the concert hall, but as soon as the work was released for performance, it was taken up by most of the world’s major orchestras. The demand was such that he also had to produce a version for two pianos. The work has since led a busy career in concerts, on recordings, and especially at the movies, where it has been used in films from 1930’s Soup to Nuts to 2006’s Cashback—its most famous appearance, of course, being its starring role as the indispensable soundtrack for seduction in the Dudley Moore movie 10.

Ravel’s title for this work is surprising, since its theme bears little relation in form, tempo, or rhythm to the classic Spanish bolero. When this was pointed out by his friend, the Cuban-born composer Joaquín Nin, he answered, “That is of little importance.” To him the name’s formal connotations meant less than the exotic and passionate mood evoked by the word itself.

Instrumentation: 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes doubling oboe d’amore and English horn, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, E-flat clarinet, saxophone, 2 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, snare drum, gong, harp, celeste and strings.

How to make a planned gift to the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra

Thank you for considering a planned gift to help support the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra. We know that if you make a contribution, it will be because you believe in what we do, and because you want to help make a difference in the lives of others. We’d also like to make sure you benefit from making a gift to us. The Christopher Keene Legacy Society is set up to recognize patrons who have decided to make a planned gift, ensuring the future excellence of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra.

Your planned giving optionsWill/Living Trust – You can name a beneficiary in your estate plan by visiting with your estate planning attorney and having a new will or revocable living trust drafted. If you already have these documents in place, you can easily make a beneficiary change by having your attorney draft a codicil to your existing will or an amendment to your revocable living trust.

A specific bequest gives a specific dollar amount or asset“I give the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, ($___ or designated asset.”A residuary bequest gives a percentage of your estate after other bequests are made.“I give ____ percent of the residue of my estate to the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra.”

Life Insurance Policies – Life insurance is a popular method of providing much-needed fund to a beneficiary at your death. It is also a low-cost way to provide a large benefit for someone in need. Life insurance proceeds are almost always income tax-free to the beneficiary. Simply contact your insurance company for a change of beneficiary formYou would then decide what percentage of the policy’s value you would like delegate. Life Income Gifts - A life income gift allows you to make a substantial gift of cash, appreciated securities or real estate, while retaining income for your lifetime. You can receive tax benefits such as charitable income tax deductions, avoidance of capital gains tax, increased and possibly tax-free income. Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Lead Trusts are just two examples of life income gifts.
