Welcome

W elcome to the Macon Symphony Orchestra’s 36th year, which I am confident will be the Symphony’s finest year yet!

I am so delighted to welcome Ward Stare as our new Music Director. Ward brings fresh ideas, new enthusiasm, and an unprecedented level of accessibility. Ward has planned for us a compelling concert lineup this year filled with everything from exciting traditional classics such as Beethoven and Strauss to an eclectic twist on the classical music theme with PROJECT Trio.

As always, making the Macon Symphony Orchestra possible requires an enormous amount of effort from a wide range of people. I want to specifically thank our full and part-time staff, all of our musicians, our patrons and our sponsors for making symphonic music possible in Macon. Without your support, it would literally be impossible!

Now, please join me in welcoming Ward Stare and the Macon Symphony Orchestra for our Premiere Season!

s we join together to celebrate the inaugural season of our new Music Director, Ward Stare, my heart is full of gratitude for the tremendous support we have received from our loyal donors and concert audiences. We could not have emerged to this stronger

and more vibrant place without you. We thank you for your support, and with your continued partnership, we pledge to do even more to help make our community a better place through the universal language of music.

With Maestro Stare at the artistic helm, no doubt we will continue to thrive as a cultural cornerstone in our growing arts community. Maestro Stare and I are committed to ensuring that every concert is an event to bring you great pleasure and be long remembered. We will continue to present thrilling symphonic masterpieces, an exciting pops program, and high-impact youth educational offerings.

I am honored and humbled to serve as administrative leader of this great organization, and look forward to sharing this magnificent season with you.

c e o

Welcomes h e ry l t o w e r s

reetings and welcome to our new season at the Macon Symphony Orchestra! In programming our concerts this year – my first as Music Director – my goal is to bring a diverse and

dynamic line up to our audiences and our community. There are many highlights in our upcoming season. This

year, the MSO will perform with two different chamber ensembles – both of which happen to be a trio. The Cortona

Trio will perform Beethoven’s exciting Triple Concerto on our opening concert. I’m especially looking forward to this collaboration

because it gives the orchestra and I the chance to work with not just one fantastic soloist, but three! In March, we invite PROJECT Trio to share the

stage with us. This new group is made up of three very talented gentlemen who are putting a new spin on the traditional chamber music trio through both original compositions and innovative ways of performing their instruments. It will be a unique and memorable evening for our audience.

This November I am pleased to present, for the first time at the MSO, a full-length Opera performance. We are joined by a wonderful cast of talented young singers from both Chicago and New York to perform one of the great fairy tale operas in the repertoire: Hansel and Gretel. Perfect for families, Humperdinck’s masterpiece is a delightful telling of a familiar tale and a charming way to get in the mood for the Holidays.

Tchaikovsky’s bold 5th symphony and Beethoven’s monumental 9th are thrilling and dramatic bookends to our musical journey this season. I am so pleased that you have joined us this year and hope that you enjoy our wide variety of programs as much as we will enjoy presenting them to you!

A native of rochester, new york, ward stare is one of the most dynamic and engaging conductors of his generation. Described as “a compelling figure on the podium” and “one of the hottest young conductors in America” by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Mr. Stare recently completed his tenure as Resident Conductor of

the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. In April 2009, he made his highly successful Carnegie Hall Debut with the orchestra – stepping in at the last minute to conduct while Music Director David Robertson filled the role of chansonnier in H. K. Gruber’s Frankenstein!!.

In August 2007, Mr. Stare made his critically acclaimed debut with the Cleveland Orchestra at the famed Blossom Music Center - The Plain Dealer noting that his performance was “clear and vibrant, with a keen ear for phrasing, balance and pacing”. In recent seasons, Stare has appeared as guest conductor with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the Bangkok Symphony, Colorado Music Festival, DITTO Festival (South Korea) as well as multiple engagements with both the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.

The 2010-11 season included Mr. Stare’s debut with the Norwegian National Opera in a new production of Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia. Critics had high praise for Stare, the cast and orchestra noting that the production was “finely tuned”, “magical” and “radiated musical quality”. Future opera engagements include appearances at Opera Theater of St. Louis as well as Stare’s debut at the Lyric Opera of Chicago in Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel followed by a return engagement in Chicago the following season.

Ward Stare was named ‘Musician of the Month’ by Musical America in November of 2011. Other highlights of the 2011-2012 season included Mr. Stare’s invitation to the prestigious Allianz Cultural Foundation’s 2012 International Conductors’ Academy. Over the course of four months, Mr. Stare worked intensively with both the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Philharmonia culminating in Stare’s debut with the LPO in Royal Festival Hall in April of 2012.

Recent and upcoming engagements include appearances with the Atlanta Symphony, Houston Symphony, Québec Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and Mr. Stare’s continuing relationship with the Saint Louis Symphony as a regular guest conductor on the orchestra’s Family, Special Event and Subscription Series.

Stare was the recipient of both the Robert J. Harth Conductor Prize (2006) and the Aspen Conducting Prize (2007) at the Aspen Music Festival before spending the 2007-08 season as a League of American Orchestras Fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Stare has studied conducting with David Zinman, János Fürst and Jorma Panula as well as working with Michel Merlet in composition and musical analysis.

Following in the path of many great orchestral conductors whose careers began as instrumentalists, Stare was trained as a trombonist at the Juilliard School in Manhattan. At the age of 18, he was appointed principal trombonist of the Lyric Opera of Chicago and has performed as an orchestral musician with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, among others. As a soloist, he has concertized in both the U.S. and Europe.

T he cortona trio unites the energy and artistry of three of the most exciting young musicians performing today: violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti, cellist Julie

Albers, and pianist Elizabeth Pridgen. The Cortona Trio is a natural collaboration of these artists who perform, teach and work together on a regular basis at the esteemed Robert McDuffie Center for Strings. Given the prominent solo careers of its members, the trio enjoys immediate credibility and attention for their newly formed ensemble. The Cortona Trio derives its name from their first public performance together in Rome, Italy, at the Palazzo Barberini underneath the expansive and renowned fresco by the Baroque Italian artist Pietro da Cortona.

Cortona TrioThe


Pianist Elizabeth Pridgen has distinguished herself as a soloist and chamber musician with recent concerts including appearances at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall, Merkin Hall, the Tilles Center on Long Island, Spivey Hall in Atlanta, and the “Rising Stars Series” at the Ravinia Festival. Ms. Pridgen has also performed at Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall, and the Kosciuszko Foundation, and in recitals in Washington D.C., Miami, San Francisco, and throughout the Southeast and Caribbean. She performs regularly at festivals including the Rome Chamber Music Festival in Rome, Italy, the Strings Music Festival in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, the River to River Festival, the Highlands-Cashiers Chamber Music Festival, the Water Island Music Festival, and the Madison Chamber Music Festival. Ms. Pridgen is currently a Distinguished Artist and Piano Chair at the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings and holds the G. Leslie Fabian Piano Chair at the Townsend School of Music at Mercer University. She received her Master of Music degree at the Juilliard School where she studied with Joseph Kalichstein. She earned her bachelor’s degree at the Peabody Conservatory of Music as a student of Ann Schein.

Invited to Carnegie Hall for her solo concerto debut in 1998, violinist Amy Schwartz Moretti has made extensive solo and collaborative appearances since then, in addition to orchestral performances as former Concertmaster of the Oregon Symphony and The Florida Orchestra. Recent festival appearances include concerts in Seattle, Montréal, Rome, Miami, Fayetteville and Amelia Island. At the Grand Teton Music Festival she serves as a concertmaster with music director Donald Runnicles. She appeared at the Aspen Music Festival and Chamber Music Northwest in duos with Robert McDuffie and the Brevard Music Center Festival as featured soloist with Keith Lockhart conducting. She has been guest concertmaster with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and the New York Pops. Ms. Moretti was named Director of the McDuffie Center for Strings at the Mercer University Townsend School of Music in 2007. She holds the Caroline Paul King Violin Chair, coordinates the Fabian Concert Series and oversees the education component of the Rome Chamber Music Festival in Italy. Continuing to perform widely, she is a member of the Ehnes String Quartet, Georgian Chamber Players of Atlanta, and the Moretti Duo. Her solo CD Kaleidoscope (Sono Luminus) was released in 2011. She lives in Macon with her husband and two young sons.

American cellist Julie Albers is recognized for her superlative artistry, her charismatic and radiant performing style and her intense musicianship. She was born into a musical family in Longmont, CO and began violin studies at the age of two switching to cello at four. She moved to Cleveland during her junior year of high school to pursue studies through the Young Artist Program at the Cleveland Institute of Music where she studied with Richard Aaron. At the age of 17 she made her major orchestral debut with the Cleveland Orchestra and thereafter has performed in recital and with orchestras throughout North America, Europe, Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand and Australia. Julie has received various awards including the Grand Prize in South Korea’s Gyeongnam International Music Competition and Second Prize in Munich’s Internationaler Musikwettbewerbes der ARD. Past seasons have included appearances with the orchestras of Colorado, Indianapolis, San Diego, Seattle, Vancouver, and Munchener Kammerorchester among others. In addition to solo performances Julie regularly appears at chamber music festivals around the world and has just finished a three year residency with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Two. October of 2005 marked the release of her solo debut recording on the Artek Label.


Program NotesTriple Delight

by dr. ian altman

Don Juan was Richard Strauss’ first mature successful work. Written when he was 24, it comes on the heels of his early infatuation with the music of the Wagner-Liszt circle. The genre of the symphonic poem had been invented by Liszt and made use of a seemingly loose structure that was held together by the techniques of thematic transformation and cyclic form.

The character, Don Juan, has been treated by any number of authors: Tirso deMolina, Molierè, Lenau, Byron, and Shaw, as well as composers such as Gluck, Delibes, Mozart, Alfano and, of course, Richard Strauss. The character’s representations ranged from the rakish womanizer to the idealist looking for the perfect woman. The latter version was taken up by Lenau, whose work inspired Strauss.

Don Juan was an immediate success. Al-though programmatic, the work does not try to give a line of action. Instead, Strauss evokes moods and impressions of the pro-grammatic idea. Its brilliant orchestration is another plus to this masterpiece. The diffi-culty of the orchestral parts makes it a staple of orchestral auditions.

Beethoven’s Triple Concerto is a one of a kind piece in the standard literature for orchestra works. Most scholars agree that the piano part was fashioned for Beethoven’s friend and student, the Archduke Rudolph of Hapsburg, who was a gifted amateur pianist.

Beethoven’s reputation as a great structuralist with keen intellectual powers is evident in this work. The work is cast in three movements; however, the second movement serves as a long introduction to the finale Rondo alla Polacca.

One of the real problems for a composition that uses the piano, violin and cello as soloists is balance. The piano and violin can cover up the cello. Beethoven does two things to remedy this situation. First, the

cello takes the lead by presenting each theme before the other instruments. Second, the cello uses a very high tessitura which gives it cutting power but also makes it extremely difficult for the cellist to play.

The finale is exuberant but aristocratic. The Polonaise is, after all, an aristocratic dance. The brilliant coda gives all three soloists their due.

Tchaikovsky’s last three symphonies and his programmatic Manfred Symphony are generally considered his greatest orchestral works. To the Russian Five (Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, Balakirev, Cui, and Mussorgsky) Tchaikovsky was too German. To the German academicians he was a sentimental Russian with no discipline. He was both a secure craftsman and a creator of powerfully emotional works. Like his musical successor Rachmaninoff, he created overwhelming climaxes, beautiful melodic lines, and highly charged art. These are typical Russian traits.

Tchaikovsky, in his working notebook, says that the opening theme of the Fifth Symphony represents a complete resignation to fate. This slow, brooding theme recurs at important points throughout the piece in much the same way as the “fixed idea” occurs in Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique. The Fifth Symphony makes the most of striking contrasts and huge climaxes supported by masterful orchestration. The andante, of course, has the melody that was stolen by Tin Pan Alley and called Moon Love in 1939. This is the beautiful horn melody that suggests an amorous nocturne.

Instead of a scherzo proper, Tchaikovsky spins out a dreamy, elegant waltz with a recurrence of the opening theme of the first movement. The finale uses the recurring theme in a very majestic way by transposing it to major. The work ends with joyful Russian abandon.


t gives me great pleasure to welcome you to a new season at the Macon Symphony Orchestra. I chose this

program for our first concert together not only because I love these pieces, but also because these three works are endowed with a tremendous energy and excitement that mirrors my own feelings as we begin our new relationship!

Nowhere is this more apparent than in the opening bars of Don Juan! It’s one of my favorite ways to begin a concert. In one fantastic explosion of sound, Strauss captures our attention and proceeds to reveal his famous tone poem in a rich musical language full of vivid images, beautiful colors and high drama.

The Beethoven Triple Concerto is one of the great masterpieces in the repertory and it gives us the chance to collaborate, for the first time, with the fantastic Cortona Trio!

Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony is a journey from darkness to light. The opening bars of the symphony set a somber tone. Fate was a recurring theme in Tchaikovsky’s works and we hear it make a strong impression - one can truly feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. Tchaikovsky’s feelings of resignation to fate gradually start to give way to a more optimistic, romantic view of the world. The second movement begins with one of the most beautiful melodies in all of classical music. Beauty and restraint then are transformed into tremendous passion and energy in the climax of this movement. The intensity of the second movement is followed by a charming waltz that ferries us to a bold, life-affirming finale. By the end of the work, we find ourselves having arrived at a place far removed from the barren landscape of the opening bars. Hopelessness, gloom and oppression are transformed into pure joy. It’s quite a journey, and I hope you will enjoy making it with us!

Fanciful Fantasia

Dukas’ symphonic poem, The Sorcerer’s Ap-prentice, has become quite well known because of its use in Walt Disney’s film Fantasia. The inspi-ration for the piece came from a narrative ballad by Goethe. The apprentice uses a spell to bring a broom to life and he commands the broom to fetch water but he cannot turn the spell off. As the house is about to be completely flooded, the sorcerer returns to end the spell.

Dukas cleverly portrays each episode of the saga. His use of the bassoon and contrabassoon creates incredible humor and horror as it plays the theme of the raging broom. This is probably the only work of art that can connect Goethe and Walt Disney.

Liszt’s nineteen Hungarian Rhapsodies emu-late, quote, and imitate Gypsy music. The charis-matic abandon of the Hungarian gypsies made a strong impression on the young Liszt.

The Second Rhapsody has always been a favor-ite with audiences. It is typical in that it starts with a slow Lassan, quite declamatory in character, fol-lowed by a fast Friska with charming and rollicking themes. Liszt orchestrated six of his rhapsodies with the help of Franz Doppler. The orchestra version is almost as popular as the piano original.

Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours is a short ballet from Act III, scene ii of the opera La Gio-conda. It depicts the hours of the day through ensemble and solo dances. Despite the cheerful sound of this music, the opera is a tragedy deal-ing with the Spanish Inquisition. The music and choreography represent the hours of dawn, day, twilight, night and morning. The dance symbol-izes the eternal struggle between the forces of light and darkness. Many popular and humorous works derive from this piece. Most famous are the hip-pos dressed in tutus in Disney’s Fantasia. Another is Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Here I Am at Camp Granada and Spike Jones, Mel Brooks and Nancy Sinatra also have derivative works.

Hindemith was one of the most influential musicians of the first half of the twentieth cen-tury. He was famous as a composer, performer (viola), teacher and theoretician. His sonatas for various instruments and piano are standard fare for almost all instrumentalists today. Many believe some of his best orchestral works are his Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Webber and the Mathis der Maler Symphony.

The Mathis der Maler Symphony is based on themes from his opera of the same name. The opera is about Mathias the painter and is set dur-ing the time of the German Peasants War (1524-25). Mathias was struggling for artistic freedom in the oppressive climate of the day. This is clearly a mirror of Hindemith’s situation as the Nazis came into power. The symphony was premiered in Germany in 1934 and came under severe criti-cism. Hindemith, with his Jewish wife, left Ger-many shortly after several attempts to get the opera

performed in his native country. The symphony is cast in three movements which correspond to the Overture, the Orchestral Interlude from the last act, and an orchestral reworking of a visionary scene in the opera.

Gershwin made his first trip to Paris just after the premier of Rhapsody in Blue. Two years later he was in England for the opening of Lady, Be Good and and returned to Paris, where the idea came to him to write an orchestral work describing his impressions of the city. He even purchased some authentic taxi horns which were later used in the score. Two years later he started serious work on the project, An American in Paris, which he promised to Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony. He stated that his purpose was to portray an American visitor in Paris as he strolls around the city and listens to the various street noises and absorbs the French atmosphere. He also stated that he did not endeavor to represent any definite scenes in the music. It is program-matic only in a general impressionistic way.

The overture to Rossini’s William Tell has far surpassed the opera in popularity. It is a perennial concert favorite, containing lyricism, drama, and excitement. The work is cast in four sections. The opening is a lengthy cello solo of true operatic beau-ty. The second section features drama and exciting fanfares. The third section features an English horn melody of great beauty with a flute obligato — a passage of great expressiveness. Horn and trumpet calls introduce the famous Lone Ranger Theme which makes great demands on the strings and winds. Dy-namic tympani flourishes and considerable excite-ment bring this work to its conclusion.

From the PodiumThis program was originally conceived as a way to combine some very well known tunes with a piece that is likely less familiar. The connection is visual art and how it has inspired, or been inspired by music! The marriage of music and images has existed in many different ways throughout the ages. Of course, nowadays when we hear masterpieces such as Sorcerer’s Apprentice or Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, we see our favorite cartoon characters dancing around in our heads to the soundtracks of our youth. For people of a certain generation, William Tell Overture is forever linked with the Lone Ranger. We sometimes forget, however, that the music actually came first! The opposite is true in the case of Mathis der Maler. Hindemith was inspired by paintings of Matthias Grünewald and the title actually means, “Matthias the Painter.” The music comes from an opera of the same name and is full of vivid imagery and drama. I hope that you will enjoy getting to know this masterpiece of Hindemith as much as you enjoy hearing favorites like William Tell and Gershwin’s American in Paris.

Hansel & Gretel

Hansel & Gretel


Program NotesHansel & Gretel

by dr. ian altman

Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel is the result of a domestic project with his younger sister Adelheid Wette. Adelheid, a writer, asked him to compose four songs for a little play she had written based on the fairytale Hansel and Gretel. It was to be a birthday present for her husband and was duly performed in the Wette home on May 16, 1890. Ricard Wagner’s widow, Cosima, suggested that the work be made into a singspiel (an opera with spoken dialogue). Hugo Wolfe suggested that Humperdinck create a full scale opera. When it was premiered in 1893 it was a tremendous success and remains so to this day. Although Humperdinck makes use of some folk material, the vast majority of the work is original and the harmonic vocabulary owes a debt to Wagner. SyNOPSIS Act 1 Hansel and Gretel, brother and sister of a poor family are playing instead of doing their chores. Their mother, Gertrud, comes home and is furious. In her anger, she knocks over a pail of milk which was to be their supper. Gertrud sends the children

out to pick wild strawberries. Their father, Peter, comes home. He is a broom maker and has had a good sale so he has food and other treats. Peter reminds Gertrud of the witch in the forest who eats children. Peter and Gertrude go to look for them. Act 2 Hansel and Gretel find strawberries, all the while playing and having a good time. They manage to eat all the strawberries and realize they are lost. It is late and they lay down to sleep in the woods. They sing a prayer so that angels will protect them. Act 3 The children awake in the morning and discover they are close to a gingerbread house. They break off bits to eat for breakfast. The witch comes out of the house and catches them, planning to eat them. Gretel tricks the witch and kicks her into the oven, shutting the oven door behind her. Hansel and Gretel discover that the walls are made of previously captured children. They free the gingerbread children and soon afterward, their parents arrive. All join in a prayer of thanksgiving.

I have always loved the human voice so naturally when I first became involved in opera I was completely hooked! Opera has been a great love of mine for years now and it gives me great pleasure to be able to share it with you here in Macon. I am particularly pleased to welcome our great cast – many of whom come to us from the great Ryan Opera Center in Chicago, IL.

The story of Hansel and Gretel is no doubt familiar to most of us from childhood. Hearing it told through Humperdinck’s gorgeous score is an experience unlike any

other – I promise you that! Every single bar of music is wonderful and perfectly suited to the action in the story. My personal favorite is the evening prayers that Hansel and Gretel say before falling asleep out in the forest. The dream pantomime which follows is truly inspired and never fails to make me a little misty. I am so pleased to be sharing this extraordinary music with you this evening.

PROJECT

Trio

PPROJECT Trio, with Greg Pattillo, flute, Eric Stephenson, cello, and Peter Seymour, bass, is pushing the boundaries of classical music with a high-octane mix

of jazz, hip-hop, and rock. Acclaimed as “packed with musicianship, joy, and surprise” by Downbeat Magazine and hailed for their “wide appeal, subversive humor and first-rate playing” by the Wall Street Journal, the Trio performs over 70 concerts a year, playing to fans of all ages in venues around the world. They are an internet sensation with over 71 million views and 78,000 subscribers on their YouTube channel.

Highlights of this season include concerts with the Charlotte Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony, New Jersey Symphony, Walla Walla Symphony, the Britt Festival, and the Chicago Sinfonietta. Internationally, they will make their second tour of Germany, and their first tour of the former Soviet Union as part of American Music Abroad sponsored by the US Department of State.

The Trio is dedicated to arts education, inspiring a whole new generation of concert going music lovers. They are in their second year of residency with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra as Family Concert Artists in Residence, and will perform and lead master classes in schools, universities, festivals and other venues in over a dozen cities across the US.

PROJECT Trio’s discography includes four recordings, Winter in June, PROJECT Trio, Brooklyn, and their most recent release, When Will Then Be Now, and a DVD PROJECT Trio: Live In Concert, all on the Trio’s own record label, Harmonyville Records. Last May, their catalog-spanning Random Roads Collection was released on Tummy Touch Records and immediately soared to the top of the classical and jazz charts. PROJECT Trio’s recordings are available on ITunes and CDBaby.

Podium NotesPROJECT Trio

I first collaborated with Peter, Eric and Greg one year ago when I was in my final season as Resident Conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra. The concerts were a huge hit with our audiences and lots of fun for both me and the orchestra so, naturally, when we at the MSO were thinking about different ways to spice up our concert series with something fresh

and new, PROJECT Trio came to my mind immediately!

These three very talented gentlemen have been pushing the boundaries not only of classical music, but even the way their instruments are actually played! Their wide range of repertoire includes both well-known works and original compositions – all presented with the fresh new sound that they have pioneered. It makes for a unique, stimulating evening! I am very pleased to welcome PROJECT Trio to Macon and to feature them in my first season as Music Director.

William Anderson

Lane

DEDICATION

he final concert of the 2012-13 Premiere Season is dedicated to the memory of Mr. William Anderson

Lane. Mr. Lane was best known in Macon for his love of the arts and community, having served as a Bibb County Board of Education member, Macon Arts Alliance President, President of the Macon Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences. He was a recipient of the Governor’s Award in the Arts in 1990, the Macon Arts Alliance Cultural Award in 1991, and the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.

Born in Bibb County, he graduated from Lanier High School in 1943 and served in the U.S. Army Intelligence Corp as a Japanese translator from 1944 until 1946. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa with highest honors from the University of North Carolina, received a Masters in English from Princeton University, won a Fulbright Fellowship for study at London University College, and later earned a Master

of Divinity degree at Duke University. He taught at Princeton University, Hartford College, The University of North Carolina Women’s College in Greensboro and Mercer University.

Mr. Lane’s dedication to the arts involved not just teaching young people about art and music, but also teaching teachers through the Bibb County Institute for Arts in Education. Mr. Lane believed that “…There is enough evidence to show that the arts can help children understand reading and math.”

Mr. Lane gave his money, time and talent to local arts because he attributed music as having saved his life. After a serious head injury due to a car accident in the early ‘60’s, all he could remember was his love of music. Mr. Lane said, “What made more difference than anything else was music and the associations I had with different pieces of music.”

With much gratitude for his enormous contributions, this “Ode to Joy” concert is lovingly dedicated to the memory of Mr. William Anderson Lane.

april 27the Grand opera house

Symphony No. 8 in G Major, op. 88 Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904)

Intermission

Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Ludwig van Beethoven Op. 125 (Choral) (1770-1827) Allegro ma non troppo, un poco maestoso Molto vivace Adagio molto e cantabile Presto – Allegro assai – Choral Finale (Ode to Joy)


Ode to Joy

Dvorak was one of three great conservative symphonists in the Romantic Era. The others were Mendelssohn and Brahms. Indeed, Brahms was a friend and mentor to Dvorak and even persuaded his own publisher to print Dvorak’s music.

Dvorak was also one of two important Czech composers during the rise of nationalism in the latter part of the Romantic Era. The other was Bedrich Smetana. While Smetana followed the Liszt-Wagner Music of the Future, Dvorak followed the conservatism of Brahms and Mendelssohn.

The Symphony No. 8 is roughly contemporary with Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8 is fundamentally based on the alternating tonalities of G major and G minor. The first and third movements rest firmly in G major and G minor with frequent excursions to other keys. The second movement is in C minor and the finale, a free form of theme and variations, is in G major and C minor. This makes the piece both novel and interesting. Like so many of Dvorak’s works, this work gives the impression of folk material without any actual quotations. The writing for individual sections of the orchestra is so masterful that orchestral players seem to derive as much pleasure as the listeners.

Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is a cornerstone of great literature for orchestra; however, it is not so much revolutionary as it is revelatory. Late Beethoven finds the composer dealing with truly

exalted modes of expression. This level of artistic expression is indeed rare throughout history.

The first movement is a dramatic and compact sonata-allegro with considerable contrast in thematic material. The scherzo presents the trio twice and uses the tympani as a melodic instrument. The rhythmic drive in this movement is almost demonic. The third movement is an adagio in the grand manor. It rivals the adagios of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier Sonata and Mahler’s Fifth Symphony in the scope of its expressiveness.

The finale is a unique structure even for Beethoven. It opens with a crash and fanfare followed by a dramatic instrumental recitative. Three times, this recitative is interrupted as Beethoven passes snippets of the first three movements in review. The recitative then transforms itself into the Ode to Joy theme with several repetitions. This first section is a miniature version of the rest of the movement. We hear the crash and fanfare but, instead of the instrumental recitative, what follows is a vocal recitative using Beethoven’s own words: “O friends, not these sounds,” referring to the first three movements. Then the theme is sung by the vocal soloist and chorus followed by massive variation-episodes using selected verses from Schiller’s text Ode to Joy. Beethoven’s intellectual control and skill are displayed in their fullest glory with an almost overwhelming effect.

Program Notesby dr. ian altman

am frequently asked who my all-time favorite composer is. While this question is virtually impossible to answer, when

forced to come up with a name it is always Beethoven. For as long as I can remember, Beethoven has been my favorite composer. His symphonies were actually the first classical music I can recall hearing at around the age of 5 – and they have been a huge part of my life ever since!

In our business, there are certain pieces that we often refer to as ‘Music Director’ pieces. This simply means that as a guest conductor there is little to no chance of ever being able to perform one of these pieces with an orchestra as Music Directors

always reserve these pieces for themselves. Beethoven 9 is among these works. Thus far in my career, I have performed each of Beethoven’s first 8 symphonies on multiple occasions and I have been waiting for the opportunity to perform the 9th. Closing my first season as Music Director of the MSO with this awesome and awe-inspiring work is something which means a lot to me personally as well as professionally. I hope our audience and musicians alike will share in the feelings of Schiller’s ‘Ode to Joy’ as we close our first season together.
