It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this concert in the 2010 Tea & Symphony series.

Each year the musicians of the Sydney Symphony’s brass section are given a concert of their own, bringing them into the spotlight and showcasing their tremendous talent. This year, the Sydney Symphony Brass Ensemble has invited Sydney’s leading organist, David Drury, to join them for a program that displays all the richness of the brass and organ traditions.

Kambly has epitomised the Swiss tradition of the fi nest biscuits for three generations. Each masterpiece from the Emmental Valley is a small thank you for life; a declaration of love for the very best; the peak of fi ne, elegant taste.

Kambly is a way of life, dedicated to all those who appreciate the difference between the best and the merely good. In this way it is fi tting that we partner with the internationally acclaimed Sydney Symphony, whose vision is to ignite and deepen people’s love of live symphonic music.

We hope you enjoy this morning’s program with the Sydney Symphony, and look forward to welcoming you to future concerts in the Tea & Symphony series in 2010.

ABOUT THE MUSIC

R STRAUSS arr. WellsFestival Procession

By 1909, Richard Strauss had been conductor of the Royal

Opera in Berlin for 11 years, his salary paid directly from

the royal purse. On Strauss’s fi rst being presented to his

employer, the king told Strauss, ‘I hear you’re one of these

awful “modern” composers!’ And later, behind Strauss’s

back, Wilhelm II described him as ‘that serpent I’ve been

harbouring in my bosom’ (Strauss’s nickname henceforth was

‘The Court Viper’). Though the king hated the only Strauss

opera that he ever attended (Der Rosenkavalier), he apparently

appreciated the grand marches that Strauss was expected

to compose for him occasionally. One such work was this

ceremonial procession for brass ensemble, Festival Procession

(or Solemn Entrance) of the Knights of St John (Feierlicher Einzug

der Ritter des Johanniterordens), composed in 1909 for a

royal investiture ceremony of the Prussian branch of the

order, whose chief patron was Wilhelm’s son.

JS BACH arr. Mansted Three movements from Brandenburg Concerto No.1

Two centuries before Strauss composed his Festival Procession

for the court of his unappreciative employer, Wilhelm

II, Prussia was ruled by another deeply unmusical king.

When Friedrich Wilhelm I, popularly known as ‘the

soldier king’, came to the throne in 1713 he dismissed all

the court musicians except for a few brass players retained

to play military music. Fortuitously, a handful of the best

of the sacked musicians found new employment at the

court of the music-loving prince of Cöthen, where from

1717 Johann Sebastian Bach was their musical director.

With such talent to hand, it is not surprising that Bach

was encouraged to dust off some of the best of his old

concertos at Cöthen, including the First Brandenburg

Concerto, the fi rst version of which dates from Bach’s

time at the court of Weimar (1708–17). Even in its original

form, the fi rst movement is one of the fi nest orchestral

showcases of the baroque hunting horn, and the rest of

the work also polishes up remarkably well when reworked

for brass, as it is here by Australian arranger Ben Mansted.

JS BACHGerman composer (1685–1750)

TORU TAKEMITSUJapanese composer (1930–1936)

TAKEMITSUGarden Rain

Toru Takemitsu, Japan’s most famous classical composer,

died in 1996. Among his best-known works is November

Steps (1967), which successfully blended traditional

Japanese instruments, including shakuhachi (bamboo

fl ute) and biwa (lute), with the Western symphony

orchestra.

Takemitsu visited Australia several times, fi rst in 1969

to stay with his Sydney friend, Peter Sculthorpe. After

a trip into the bush near Canberra, he composed his

fi rst Australian work, Eucalypt I. The strongest Western

infl uences on Takemitsu’s own meditative and calm

compositional style came from French music, but Garden

Rain also has an Australian connection. It was composed

in 1974, after Takemitsu had read a short poem by an

Australian schoolgirl:

Hours are the leaves of life.

And I am their gardener.

Each hour falls down slow.

The intriguing result takes instruments that are

normally brilliant and assertive and gives them gentle,

sustained music.

G GABRIELISonata pian’ e forte

Giovanni Gabrieli’s home ‘venue’ was the Basilica of San

Marco, the wonderful Byzantine state church of the city

of Venice, with its awesome acoustic. As organist there

in the late 16th century, he composed music for some

amazing occasions, such as in 1685, the very fi rst year of

his appointment there, a sumptuous procession and state

reception for ambassadors from Japan!

Inside San Marco, Gabrieli was typically able to divide

his instrumentalists into several groups, placed in various

galleries and pulpits around the interior. With its sackbuts

and cornetti, recorders and shawms, organs and lutes,

Gabrieli’s San Marco band was a tourist attraction in

its own right. In 1608 an English traveller heard it, and

found it ‘so good, so delectable, so rare, so admirable, so

superexcellent, that it did even ravish and stupifi e all those

strangers that never heard the like’.

Title page of Gabrieli’s groundbreaking Sacræ Symphoniæ (1597)

6 | Sydney Symphony

In this piece, published in 1597, Gabrieli deploys eight

players in two groups, in a musical dialogue that also

creates a sort of echo eff ect. Sonata pian’ e forte literally

means ‘sounding soft and loud’ and this piece has

become famous as one of the very fi rst instances of a

composer writing down when he expected the musicians

to play loudly and softly.

JS BACHOrgan Fantasia in F, BWV 572

Bach’s organ fantasia in the French style is in three

distinct episodes; the fi rst marked is a fast and light

toccata for the hands only (marked Très vitement, ‘very

lively’). The grand central section is like a solemn

procession (marked gravemente, ‘gravely’) for the full

organ, hands and pedals, scored throughout in fi ve voice

parts. Just as it comes to its fi nal cadence, however, it

breaks off into another rhapsodic section (Lentement,

‘slowly’), with the hands playing elaborate roulades while

the pedal part descends in a slow chromatic scale before

resolving back to a luminous G major close.

WAGNER arr. ManstedElsa’s Procession to the Cathedral

Lohengrin was one of the fi rst of Wagner’s operas to be

performed in Australia, in Melbourne in August 1877.

The Argus called it: ‘an artistic triumph…surprising to

think that a work of such magnitude should have been

produced in Melbourne at all’. A local enthusiast, Emil

Sander even wrote to Wagner about the Melbourne

production and received a warm reply: ‘Your letter has

given me much pleasure…Do retain in your far-away

world a kindly feeling for your much-obliged Richard

Wagner.’

In the opera, a knight of the Holy Grail arrives in

Brabant and off ers to be the lady Elsa’s champion, and

defend her honour in mortal combat. In return he asks

her never to inquire about his real name or origin. He

wins, and he and Elsa are betrothed to be married. The

music for the wedding ceremony includes the famous

Bridal March (‘Here comes the bride’), but earlier there

RICHARD WAGNERGerman composer (1813–1883)

7 | Sydney Symphony

EUGÈNE GIGOUTFrench organist and composer (1844–1925)

is the fi ne and more solemn sequence, ‘Elsa’s Procession

to the Cathedral’. Unfortunately, just before the wedding

takes place Elsa’s enemies convince her to force the

knight to reveal his identity. He duly announces that he

is Lohengrin, son of Parsifal, whose assistance to Elsa was

conditional on his anonymity. But now his anonymity

destroyed, he must leave Elsa, who falls to the ground

dead.

GIGOUTarr. KuzmaGrand Choeur Dialogué

As a senior student at the Niedermeyer School in

the mid-1860s, Gigout was given the task of teaching

counterpoint to the young Gabriel Fauré. As Gigout later

recalled: ‘I was a year older than him, and had to keep

an eye on him as well as tutoring him in solfège and

plainsong. I’m embarrassed to think that I corrected

the counterpoint exercises of our greatest composer. In

those days he used to draw cartoons of me, done with

great facility and considerable wit.’ Later, César Franck

would say of him: ‘Eugène Gigout is a great, a very great

organist, and a most astonishing improviser.’ This work,

from Gigout’s Six Pièces d’orgue (1881), was originally

scored as a ceremonial entrance or exit piece for large

solo organ, set as a musical dialogue between its various

divisions.
