Please join us for our thirty-fourth year, as we offer fine chamber music, beautifully performed by pro-fessional musicians who live and work in our own community. This year our music spans the globe and the centuries. We’ll hear from some of Russia’s greatest composers and take a trip on the Orient Express; we’ll experience mystical meditations and moments of happiness; we’ll be entertained and surprised – all of this presented in a comfortable and intimate setting, where the music is so close you can almost touch it.

Santa Cruz Chamber Players 2012-2013: Mystical Sojourns

Fugue from Sonata no.3 in C Major for Solo Violin, BWV 1005 (1720)Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 -1750)

The “Great” C Major Fugue by J. S. Bach is the second movement from his Third Solo Sonata. It is part of the set of three sonatas and three partitas that many musicians consider to be the violinist’s musical Bible. This immense work is a powerful tour de force of structural ingenuity and transcendent compositional skill. It is comparable in spirit to his grand, expansive keyboard and organ fugues. This is the longest fugue that Bach wrote - and it is written for an instrument that is less than ideal for an extended polyphonic piece of music.

The theme subject, or melody, is taken from the old Catholic hymn, “Come, Holy Spirit, God and Lord.” The opening invokes a spirit of holiness with the first few notes, which is then enlivened by a counter-subject that is a descending chromatic scale, with its alteration of major and minor keys. This adds a harmonic richness to the theme’s harmonic simplicity. The interplay of the theme subject and the counter-subject suggests an abundance of opposing tensions, such as the divine and the human; hope and despair; grief and faith.

The C Major Fugue is divided into seven clear sections, alternating rich polyphonic chords and counterpoint with single-voice, or homophonic episodes. In addition to the subject, counter-subject and accompanying bass line, even the connecting passages have thematic material.

Despite the complexity of this piece, the texture is surprisingly clear, because the subject is always noticeable as it moves from voice to voice. Two-thirds of the way through, the theme is literally reversed, upside down, and Bach proceeds to expound and develop the new, revised melody.

This astounding piece of music is a treasure trove of ideas, replete with every device of advanced

counterpoint. The movement is the summit of Bach’s creativity and a violinist’s technique. The C Major Fugue is an absolute wizardly display of novel structure and unparalleled compositional brilliance.

Notes by Daniel Lewin

Verklarte nacht, op. 4 Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)

Arnold Schoenberg composed Verklarte Nacht, op. 4, in 1899, when he was 25 years old. As a young composer, Schoenberg was enraptured with the music of Wagner, and this passionate and emotive piece clearly shows the influence of German later-Romanticism. Perhaps best known as the inventor of serial (twelve tone) technique much later in his life, this tonal, sumptuous piece is an example of a sort of “programmatic” music.

Verklarte Nacht is based on a poem of the same name by Richard Dehmel, and although the piece is in one movement, there are five distinct sections that correspond to the five stanzas of Dehmel’s poem. The essence of the poem is this: as two lovers walk in the moonlight, the woman speaks with anguish that she is carrying the child of another man. The man forgives and consoles her, saying, “Look, how brightly the universe shines! Splendour falls on everything around.” He says that their love will transfigure the child.

The music is rich with colors, reflecting the emotional nature of the poem. The long, plaintive opening melody reflects the overall tone of the work. The harmonic texture is luscious, with an air of sensuousness and sorrow, which pervades the entire piece of music. “Transfigured Night” – enchanting, accessible and heartfelt – is probably the most beloved work of Schoenberg.

Originally written as a string sextet, Schoenberg later arranged Transfigured Night for string

chamber orchestra, taking advantage of the rich, lush sounds of strings.

Edward Steurmann was a pianist and protégé of Schoenberg who premiered almost all of his pieces written for piano. As the most qualified person to do so, in 1932 he faithfully transcribed Verklarte Nacht for piano trio, with Schoenberg’s approval. It is this version that is such a wonderful addition to the repertoire. At the premiere performance of the sextet in Vienna in 1902, derisive laughter, catcalls, whistling, and seat-banging was the response of an outraged audience. One can only hope that today’s audience is a bit more domesticated and civilized.

Notes by Daniel Lewin

Quartet for the End of Time Olivier Messiaen (1908 –1992)

The unusual group for which I wrote this quartet - violin, clarinet, cello and piano - is due to the circumstances surrounding its conception. I was a prisoner-of-war (1941), in Silesia, and among my fellow prisoners were a violinist (Jean Le Boulaire), a clarinetist (Henri Akoka) and a cellist (Etienne Pasquier) – myself being the pianist. Understandably with such a group, I was drawn not to the cataclysms and monsters of the Apocalypse, but rather to its silences of adoration, its marvelous visions of peace. Why this choice of text? Perhaps because, in these hours of total privation, the basic forces which control life reasserted themselves. On the other hand, this text sums up all that I hope for, all that I loved, and continue to love.

Firstly the rainbow, symbol of the variations of sound-color, of the inner colored visions which I experience when listening to and reading music. In the Stalag, the lack of food made me dream of sound-colors – and one morning, forgetting the horror of the camp, the snow and the wooden drawers which served us for beds, I was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, extraordinary green and violet drapes folding and unfolding,

twisting and turning in the heavens.

Then there are the words of the Angel: THERE SHALL BE TIME NO LONGER. This disturbing phrase, on which all commentators disagree – there it is, and surrounded with what solemnity! As a musician I have studied rhythm. Rhythm with its divisions, its changes, alternations and inequalities, is part of Time. And Time is associated with Space. When we are no longer subject to distances, when we enter into that other dimension of the beyond, thus participating a little in Eternity, then we shall understand the terrible simplicity of the Angel’s words, and then there shall indeed be TIME NO LONGER.

As to the rest, it is enough to listen to the music. However, here are a few technical details: In the first section, the piano provides a rhythmic ostinato based on unequal augmentations and diminutions – the clarinet unfolds a bird-song. The second and seventh sections evoke the mighty Angel, rainbow upon his head. The “Abyss of the Birds” (part three) is written for solo clarinet. There is a great contrast between the desolation of Time (the abyss) and the joy of the bird-songs (desire of the eternal light). Notice the tenuti with their swelling sound – pianissimo, crescendo molto, to the most piercing fortissimo. The “intermezzo” (part four) is connected to the other sections by quotes of their themes. The “Dance of Fury” (part six) uses the four instruments in unison. It is first and foremost a rhythmic study. “Non-retrograde rhythms” are to be found here, together with augmentations and diminutions unknown to the classics. The very slow, broad phrases of the cello and violin are concerned with Jesus the Word (Eternity) and with Jesus the Man, resurrected immortal (the end of Time).

Santa Cruz Chamber Players 2012-2013: Mystical Sojourns

Zwei Menschen gehn durch kahlen, kalten Hain;der Mond läuft mit, sie schaun hinein.Der Mond läuft über hohe Eichen;kein Wölkchen trübt das Himmelslicht,in das die schwarzen Zacken reichen.Die Stimme eines Weibes spricht:

“Ich trag ein Kind, und nit von Dir,ich geh in Sünde neben Dir.Ich hab mich schwer an mir vergangen.Ich glaubte nicht mehr an ein Glückund hatte doch ein schwer Verlangennach Lebensinhalt, nach Mutterglück

und Pflicht; da hab ich mich erfrecht,da ließ ich schaudernd mein Geschlechtvon einem fremden Mann umfangen,und hab mich noch dafür gesegnet.Nun hat das Leben sich gerächt:nun bin ich Dir, o Dir, begegnet.“

Sie geht mit ungelenkem Schritt.Sie schaut empor; der Mond läuft mit.Ihr dunkler Blick ertrinkt in Licht.Die Stimme eines Mannes spricht:

“Das Kind, das Du empfangen hast,sei Deiner Seele keine Last,o sieh, wie klar das Weltall schimmert!Es ist ein Glanz um alles her;Du treibst mit mir auf kaltem Meer,doch eine eigne Wärme flimmertvon Dir in mich, von mir in Dich.

Die wird das fremde Kind verklären,Du wirst es mir, von mir gebären;Du hast den Glanz in mich gebracht,Du hast mich selbst zum Kind gemacht.”Er faßt sie um die starken Hüften.Ihr Atem küßt sich in den Lüften.Zwei Menschen gehn durch hohe, helle Nacht.

Two people are walking through a bare, cold wood;the moon keeps pace with them and draws their gaze.The moon moves along above tall oak trees;there is no wisp of cloud to obscure the radianceto which the black, jagged tips reach up.A woman’s voice speaks:

“I am carrying a child, and not by you,I am walking here with you in a state of sin.I have offended grievously against myself.I despair of [finding] happinessand yet I still felt a grievous longingfor life’s fullness, for a mother’s joys

and duties; and so I sinned,and so I yielded, shuddering, my sexto the embrace of a stranger,and even thought myself blessed.Now life has taken its revenge,and I have met you, met you.”

She walks on, stumbling.She looks up; the moon keeps pace.Her dark gaze drowns in light.A man’s voice speaks:

“Do not let the child you have conceivedbe a burden on your soul.Look, how brightly the universe shines!Splendour falls on everything around;you are voyaging with me on a cold sea,but there is the glow of an inner warmthfrom you in me, from me in you.

That warmth will transfigure the stranger’s child,and you bear it mine, begot by me;You have transfused me with splendour,You have made a child of me.”He puts an arm about her strong hips.Their breath embraces in the air.Two people walk on through the high, bright night.
