French conductor Ludovic Morlot is now in his fourth season as Music Director of the Seattle Symphony.
During the 2014–2015 season he leads the Seattle Symphony in performances of works ranging from Dvorák’s final three symphonies, the Mozart Requiem, Berlioz’s Roméo et Juliette and Mahler’s Symphony No. 3, to pieces by Ives, Dutilleux and
Esa-Pekka Salonen, to world premieres by Sebastian Currier, Julian Anderson and Trimpin.
Morlot is also Chief Conductor of La Monnaie, one of Europe’s most prestigious opera houses. This season sees him conduct the world-premiere performance of Pascal Dusapin’s Penthesilea and a new production of Don Giovanni, as well as concert performances of music by Brahms, Dutilleux and Dvorák, Berlioz’s L’enfance du Christ and the complete symphony cycle of Schumann.
Morlot’s orchestral engagements this season include returns to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Los Angeles Philharmonic. He also has a strong connection with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which he conducts regularly in Boston and Tanglewood, and which he recently led on a West Coast tour. This relationship began when he was the Seiji Ozawa Fellowship Conductor at the Tanglewood Music Center and was subsequently appointed Assistant Conductor to the orchestra and Music Director James Levine (2004–07).
Morlot has also conducted the New York Philharmonic and the symphony orchestras of Cleveland, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Elsewhere, his engagements have included the Budapest Festival, Czech Philharmonic, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Dresden Staatskapelle, London Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Royal Concertgebouw, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin and Tokyo Philharmonic.
Trained as a violinist, Morlot studied conducting in London and was Conductor in Residence with the Orchestre National de Lyon (2002–04). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in 2014. He is Chair of Orchestral Conducting Studies at the University of Washington School of Music and lives in Seattle with his wife, Ghizlane, and their two children.

{Welcome to the Seattle Symphony. The 2014–2015 season
is in full swing, and we have so much to look forward to,
both in Benaroya Hall and in the greater Seattle area.
This month we’re reminded of the many ways we
celebrate musical excellence at the Symphony. Esteemed
British conductor Nicholas McGegan leads a Baroque
program with music by Bach, Handel and Telemann,
and virtuoso organist Isabelle Demers performs a recital on the magnificent Watjen
Concert Organ. We welcome popular artist Natalie Merchant back to Benaroya Hall
for a performance of some of her greatest hits with the orchestra, and Principal
Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik conducts film music by John Williams. We continue with
our third season of the [untitled] series, presenting new and daring music in the
unique space of the Samuel & Althea Stroum Grand Lobby. It is a month to hear fresh
interpretations of old favorites as well as new music that is both bold and unexpected.
As this month’s concert programming reminds us of our commitment to musical
excellence, our string of free concerts in local neighborhoods surely reminds us of our
commitment to the communities that surround and support us. The orchestra gives
four such concerts this month and several more throughout the season. Whether
the Symphony is performing at the Rainier Valley Cultural Center or playing with the
Garfield High School Symphony Orchestra in a Side-by-Side Concert, it is a joy to play
and hear wonderful music outside of Benaroya Hall. It is also a great pleasure to work
alongside young musicians and their music directors. Concerts like these remind us
all — musicians and audience — of the power music has to bring us together. See the
feature on page 12 to learn more about upcoming concerts in your neighborhood.
Finally, a special thank you to those of you who participated in my $150,000
matching challenge at the end of the summer. It was a great success, and your
continued participation and support make possible all the incredible music we
share with our community.
Here’s to a sensational and inspiring season. Enjoy the music!
Sincerely,
Leslie Jackson Chihuly,
Seattle Symphony Board Chair

The common mythology around Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s death goes some-thing like this: An unknown stranger commissioned a Requiem Mass; Mozart, con-vinced that he was being poisoned, proceeded as if he were actually writing his own Requiem; he worked feverishly, even dictating passages from his deathbed; when he suc-cumbed, the authorities dumped his body unceremoniously in a pauper’s grave.
Most of that story is hogwash. There was an anonymous commission for a Requiem, delivered by a messenger, but Mozart would have surmised that the patron was Count Franz von Walsegg-Stuppach, whose wife had died earlier in 1791. Walsegg, an amateur musician, had a habit of secretly commissioning scores and then passing them off as his own work.
What about Mozart’s cause of death? Among the convincing theories, none involve poison. It might have been rheu-matic fever (related to strep throat), com-plications from earlier traumatic brain injuries, or something as prosaic as a par-asite ingested with some bad pork. He was buried in an unmarked grave, but that was customary in Vienna for someone of his social rank.
The tales surrounding the Mozart Requiem probably originated with his
widow, Constanze. Left with her hus-band’s outstanding debts and two small children, she needed to draw as much income as she could from Mozart’s intel-lectual property. He had only received a down payment for the Requiem, with the remainder to follow upon delivery
of a finished score. Constanze gave the incomplete sketches to two younger composers, first Joseph von Eybler and then Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who orchestrated the move-ments for which Mozart had completed vocal lines, and added all-new material where needed. Constanze, under-standably, promoted an alter-nate history that brought more glory to her husband and more food to her table.
Legends aside, the reality went more like this: Mozart,
perennially cash-strapped, accepted an odd commission for a Requiem. The money was good and the genre appealed to him; as Constanze told one biographer, Mozart “expressed a wish to try his hand at this type of composition, the more so as the higher forms of church music had always appealed to his genius.” He postponed the Requiem while he scrambled to finish two operas, La clemenza di Tito and The Magic Flute. When he finally made headway that fall, a grave illness interrupted his work.
It is true that Mozart, only hours before his death, gathered friends with him to sing through the Requiem. Maybe it was a show of self-pity, a victim mourning his own demise. But it is more inspiring — and prob-ably more honest — to view it as the final act of a genius at the height of his powers, hopeful that his health was improving, eager to refine his ambitious new compostion and driven by an irrepressible urge to create.

INSPIRATION IN A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU

There’s a teenager playing next to a Seattle Symphony bassist, the latter a full foot taller. A high-school junior fingers
notes on the cello, the professional cellist sitting alongside her doing the same. A throng of violinists, all in their teens, bow along with violinists twice, three times their age.
This particular performance is a Side-by-Side Concert, meaning that both Seattle Symphony musicians and student musicians play together onstage.
The Symphony plays numerous Side-by-Sides with high-school, university and community orchestras in various Seattle neighborhoods every season. For students, it’s an opportunity to learn from accomplished, professional musicians.
“In any other profession, you can receive an internship,” says Laura Jagels, former Principal Viola of Roosevelt High School Symphony Orchestra. “That’s not so much the case with music. You’re either in or you’re out. The beauty of the Side-by-Side Concerts is that you receive the experience of being in a professional orchestra without the trial.”
Indeed, playing with, learning from and even leading professional musicians is a formative experience.
Sarah Bowen, former Concertmaster of the Roosevelt High School Symphony Orchestra, led a Side-by-Side performance of Mendelssohn’s “Reformation” Symphony last fall. “The conductor gave me the downbeat,” she recalls, “and suddenly any musical choice I, as Concertmaster, made was followed by the rest of the section and orchestra.”
The events even make impressions on the students’ teachers. Says Marcus Tsutakawa, Garfield High School Music

Director, “The members of the Seattle Symphony are so thoughtful and encouraging in teaching the art of orchestral music in a way that our students would never learn otherwise.”
But the experience isn’t just memorable for students and teachers. Seattle Symphony musicians are, in turn, inspired by the next generation of music lovers and players.
“The students brighten the stage with their enthusiasm, willingness to learn and receive all at the same time,” shares Seattle Symphony clarinetist Laura DeLuca. Zartouhi Dombourian-Eby, Seattle Symphony piccoloist and flutist, adds, “It’s so invigorating to see the enthusiasm and excitement of the high-school students; I know that it has often brought tears to the eyes of many of our own players. And it reminds me of a time, long ago, when I played cello side by side with my cello teacher in the New Orleans Philharmonic.”
And, finally, there are those who come to hear the music. Attendees range from those who are experiencing symphonic music for the first time, to classical music lovers who happen to live in the neighborhood, to proud parents, classmates and friends who are supporting bright young musicians.
“Seeing and hearing the Seattle Symphony musicians perform with students sitting side by side is a magical experience,” says Kjristine Lund, Seattle Symphony Board member and underwriter of Side-by-Side Concerts. “The audience is a huge part of the experience, with families watching — parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents — and fellow classmates cheering on their friends like rock stars. This spirited engagement lights a fire in the next generation to participate in live orchestral music as performers and audiences.”

Sir Ernest MacMillan (1893–1973) was a Canadian musician of extraordinary accomplishment and influence. Following interment at a German prisoner-of-war camp during World War I, MacMillan returned home to Canada and began his professional career in Toronto. Over the next half century, he would become known as the most influential musician in Canada, regularly performing as an organist, pianist, chamber musician, guest conductor of orchestras throughout Canada and the United States, and, above all, as the conductor of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. His only solo organ work, the Cortège académique was written in 1953 in response to a request from the University College in Toronto.
Throughout the history of the organ, its players have routinely adapted music written for other instruments. One immediately thinks of the masterful adaptations, made by J.S. Bach and his colleagues, of Italian instrumental concertos by Vivaldi, Marcello, Albinoni and other masters. The 30 years preceding the Great Depression were the golden years of the symphonic organ in America and England; municipal organists such as the great Edwin Lemare educated vast audiences with their adaptations of the finest orchestral works. The 21st century has seen a renewed interest in the art of the transcription, primarily as an opportunity for the King of Instruments’ vast resources. Tonight’s program includes six excerpts from Sleeping Beauty by Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–93), transcribed by Isabelle Demers.
Max Reger (1873–1916) was one of the towering figures in organ composition at the beginning of the 20th century. In his rather short life he wrote prodigiously, composing innumerable works of incredible complexity in all genres. Though firmly rooted in the Romantic tradition, his writing was also deeply influenced by the works of J.S. Bach and the contrapuntal models of the Baroque. While a young man, Reger became quite ill and returned to his parents’ home to recuperate in 1898; the following three years of recovery were marked by an almost feverish pace of composition. Reger composed his
PROGRAM NOTES by Joseph Adam
16 SEATTLESYMPHONY.ORG
ISABELLE DEMERSOrgan
FORTE: Quebec native Isabelle Demers is rapidly becoming recognized as one of North America’s most virtuosic organists.
BACKGROUND AND
EDUCATION: Demers is Organ Professor
and head of the organ program at Baylor University in Texas, where she teaches organ and courses in the organ curriculum. She began studying piano and organ at age 11 at the Montreal Conservatory of Music. After graduating in 2003 she studied on scholarship for a year at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris–Alfred Cortot. She then earned her master’s and doctorate at The Juilliard School, studying with Paul Jacobs.
HIGHLIGHTS: Demers was a featured performer at the 2008 national convention of the American Guild of Organists in Minneapolis, and her performance was later broadcast to a national radio audience. She was a featured artist at the 2009 national convention of the Royal Canadian College of Organists in Toronto, at the 2010 national convention of the American Guild of Organists in Washington, D.C., and at the 2010 joint convention of the American Institute of Organbuilders and International Society of Organbuilders in Montreal. She has been a prizewinner and finalist in several international performance competitions, and she performs widely in the United States, Canada and Europe.
RECORDINGS: Demers’ debut recording on the British label Acis was met with critical acclaim. On a recent broadcast of Pipedreams, presenter Michael Barone featured the Fugue from Reger’s Op. 73, describing it as “a masterful score, here masterfully played,” and Demers as “definitely a talent to watch, to hear….” Church Music Quarterly awarded the “exciting, expressive and successful” recording its highest recommendation for its “profound and searching” performances. Additionally, Demers has released recordings of the organ works of Rachel Laurin and Max Reger’s Seven Chorale Fantasias.
Organ Sonata No. 2 in the last months of 1901, shortly after moving to Munich with his parents; the work’s genesis was partially in response to a new publishing contract, and also a response to his own study of the organ sonatas of Karl Wolfrum and Joseph Renner.
The opening movement, Improvisation, resembles traditional sonata form only in the use of contrasting primary and secondary thematic material and extended development. The center movement, Invocation, is as improvisatory as the first; following an initial buildup to full organ, the movement becomes calmer and concludes with a treatment of the Christmas chorale “Vom Himmel hoch” (“From heaven high”). The Introduction and Fugue begins as a scherzo on the flutes, followed by a rigorous fugue that incorporates material from the beginning of the movement.
Alexandre Guilmant (1837–1911) was born into a family of organists, teachers and instrument makers. Destined to a life as an organist like his father, Guilmant was appointed to his first position at the age of 16. In 1871 he became organist at the Church of Sainte-Trinité and subsequently professor of organ at the Paris Conservatoire. Guilmant interspersed this with a myriad of other activities including composition, publishing, editing and organ recitals. He undertook extensive recital tours throughout Europe and Russia, capped by a landmark tour to the United States in 1904, where he was engaged at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis for a series of 40 recitals, each with a completely different program.
The Organ Sonata No. 5 was dedicated to the great American organist Clarence Eddy, whom Guilmant had met during an extended concert tour of North America. The opening movement consists of a vast sonata form with an initial section reminiscent of the grand tradition of the French ouverture, followed by a fugato and a quiet secondary theme; the opening material then returns over a rousing chromatic pedal line. Among all his French contemporaries, Guilmant was the strictest in terms of the formal organization of his larger compositions, adapting with the principles of the
German symphonic tradition to the new French style developing at the close of the 19th century.
J.S. Bach’s (1685–1750) Six Trio Sonatas for Organ occupy an exalted position in the instrument’s repertoire by virtue of both their great musical sophistication and their complex demands on absolute independence of the performer’s hands and feet. Bach’s biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel recorded that “Bach drew them up for his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, who, by dint of having to practice them, became the great organist that he later was. It is impossible to speak too highly of their beauty. They date from their author’s years of greatest maturity and may be regarded as his principal work of their kind.” They most likely were written (probably transcribed from preexisting chamber trios) during the second half of the 1720s; the entire set was completed by around 1730. As with Chopin’s piano etudes, their musical values transcend their pedagogical purposes; nearly three centuries later, they continue to instruct and reward those organists who take up their great challenges.
Born in 1961 in Quebec, Canadian composer and organist Rachel Laurin is an increasingly noted figure in the organ world, and her compositions are performed by leading organists in America, Europe and Asia. Her compositions include over 100 works for organ, as well as solo instruments, chamber music, choir and full orchestra. She resides in Ottawa and devotes herself exclusively to composition, recitals, lectures and workshops.
The Symphonic Etude for Solo Pedal, Op. 72, was commissioned by Isabelle Demers, who chose Baylor University’s song “That Good Old Baylor Line” as the theme for a set of variations, giving the organist the opportunity to explore the expressive and technical possibilities of solo pedal writing. While describing the moods of different characters in each variation, the composer freely emphasized melodic, rhythmic or structural aspects of the theme, simultaneously focusing on technical issues and challenges of pedal playing.

album. Of this recording she says, “The way I listen to music is so different than the way I did 20 or 30 years ago. There are so many mood-inducing textures available to me now…. I wanted to find a way to blend those two worlds on this record: all the years of making pop music with a standard electric band alongside this new world that is full of symphonic instruments.”
BACKGROUND: Between 1981 and 1993, Merchant was the lead vocalist and lyricist of 10,000 Maniacs. The group produced two platinum and four gold records, helped define college rock and was later deemed part of the first wave of alternative rock bands.

In 2003 Merchant released The House Carpenter’s Daughter on her own label, Myth America Records. In 2005 she curated a collection of her own work for the double album Retrospective, and another, Campfire Songs, for her former band.
NONPROFIT SUPPORT: Merchant has supported a variety of nonprofit organizations, including Scenic Hudson, Riverkeeper, the Center for Constitutional Rights, Doctors Without Borders, Tibet House, Greenpeace, Planned Parenthood and the Southern Center for Human Rights. She has also served as an appointed member of the New York State Council on the Arts (2007–11).

This major prize brought new international attention to Zivkovic, who trained in his native Belgrade and now works in Stockholm, Sweden. The award director praised Zivkovic’s work for its “huge emotional journey in a relatively short period of time, moving through many landscapes between the mysterious, moody opening and the ecstatic conclusion.”
Zivkovic describes On the Guarding of the Heart as an “instrumental cantata” in the spirit of J.S. Bach, in which he explores “the need to return into oneself, to descend with the intellect into the depths of the heart, to guard it and to seek there the hidden treasure of the inner kingdom.” He also cites the influence of the Philokalia, a collection of spiritual teachings in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. The musical journey orbits around the piano, which “acts as a guide for the confused thoughts and the turbulent soul, represented in the orchestra.” Zivkovic creates fascinating instrumental colors and ensemble effects in On the Guarding of the Heart, all in service of a message that he describes as “hard-achieved detachment, stillness and watchfulness; it is about solitude and exile.”
Among a generation of composers bound by rigorous orthodoxy, György Ligeti (1923–2006) was a trendsetter and a free spirit. He studied from 1945 to 1949 at Budapest’s Academy of Music, and his early compositions followed Bartók and Kodály in their explorations of folk materials. Ligeti fled Hungary after the Soviet invasion in 1956; like many of his peers, he was drawn to the focused 12-tone music of Webern, but he moved away from total serialism as espoused by Boulez and others. In the 1960s Ligeti honed a signature style of “micropolyphony” in such scores as Atmosphères (1961), Requiem (1963–65) and Lux aeterna (1966), works that achieved special acclaim after appearing in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Ligeti composed the String Quartet No. 1, “Métamorphoses nocturnes,” in Budapest in 1953–54. This early work makes no attempt to hide its debt to Bartók, the composer of the most original string quartets since Beethoven. Bartók would have loomed large for any Hungarian following in his footsteps, but his influence was compounded by the fact that more recent scores by Western composers could not penetrate the Iron Curtain.
In 17 interconnected sections, Ligeti’s First Quartet explores folk-like melodies, symmetrical structures, percussive plucks and taut counterpoint built from elemental gestures, all hallmarks of Bartók’s style. There are moments of pure lyricism unlike anything in Ligeti’s later works, and even the humor has a sweetness about it — the hesitant, tipsy waltz a case in point. Other passages point toward Ligeti’s seminal scores of the 1960s, as when massed textures of trills and tremolos churn up dense clouds of sound.
The young American composer Andrew Norman (b. 1979) has enjoyed tremendous success with his music for large ensembles, as heard in performances by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and many international groups. His string trio, The Companion Guide to Rome, was a finalist for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music; other awards include the Rome Prize, Berlin Prize and ASCAP’s Nissim Prize. Norman wrote the following description of Try, a score for large chamber ensemble co-commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic:
“I never get things right on the first try. I am a trial-and-error composer, an incurable reviser. And this is a problem when it comes to high profile commissions from world-class ensembles in spectacular concert halls, because in these rare cases one gets exactly one try to get it right, and one really, really wants to get it right. Disney Hall and the Los Angeles Philharmonic have meant so much to me over the years that the overwhelming desire to write for them the perfect
piece was enough to stop me dead in my creative tracks. It took me many months to realize the obvious: my piece was never going to be perfect no matter how hard I tried, and perfection was not even the right target on which to set my sights. The best thing I could do to honor the adventurous spirit of the Philharmonic and Disney Hall was to try as many new things as I could, to embrace the risk and failure and serendipitous discovery implicit in the word ‘try.’
“The piece I ended up writing is a lot like me. It’s messy, and fragmented, and it certainly doesn’t get things right on the first try. It does things over and over, trying them out in as many different ways as it can. It circles back on itself again and again in search of any idea that will stick, that will lead it forward to something new. And, at long last, after ten minutes of increasingly frantic trying, it finds one small, unlikely bit of musical material it likes enough to repeat and polish and hone until it finally (fingers crossed) gets it right.”

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
Sinfonia from Cantata No. 42, “Am Abend aber desselbigen Sabbats,” BWV 42
BORN: March 21, 1685, in Eisenach, Germany
DIED: July 18, 1750, in Leipzig
WORK COMPOSED: 1725
WORLD PREMIERE: April 8, 1725, in Leipzig;
Bach conducting
Many of Bach’s extant 230-plus cantatas and works in other genres incorporate instrumental sinfonias to provide balance and contrast with vocal and choral sections. Several of these fine pieces feature thrilling clarino trumpet parts (the keyless predecessors of modern trumpets), but the lovely and serene Sinfonia from the seven-movement Cantata No. 42, “Am Abend aber desselbigen Sabbats” (“On the Evening of the Very Same Sabbath”) finds the composer at his most lyrical and laid back. Softly chirping oboes trade gestures with the strings in an intimate, conversational manner.
GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL
Concerto grosso in G major, Op. 6, No. 1
A tempo giusto • Allegro • Adagio • Allegro • Allegro
BORN: February 23, 1685, in Halle, Saxony
DIED: April 14, 1759, in London
WORK COMPOSED: 1739
True to his time, Handel reused and refashioned material as need and time dictated — a practice common in the Baroque era. Although he assembled the 12 concertos that constitute the Op. 6 collection in 1739, he appropriated many individual movements from previously written works or mentally stored improvisations. Surpassing the worthy six concertos of Op. 3, the dozen Op. 6 entries are even more varied and musically satisfying. They share occupancy in that rarified pantheon that houses Bach’s “Brandenburg”
PROGRAM NOTES by Steven Lowe

Concertos, an assertion that does not deny the excellence of Arcangelo Corelli’s Op. 6 polished gems, or many of Antonio Vivaldi’s 500-plus concertos. Handel’s audiences were quick to embrace the Op. 6 concertos; the composer’s publisher, Walsh, reported only months after their appearance, “[They] are now played in most public places with the greatest applause.”
The first Op. 6 concerto opens with a regal A tempo giusto that blends majesty with refinement, a typically Handelian nod to aristocratic sensibility and to his inner spirit. This introductory statement leads to a bounding and spirited Allegro, which in turn provides great contrast in a touching Adagio that reminds us of Handel’s gift for expressive emotion. Two successive Allegros — the first imaginatively fugal and the second a vivacious dance in 6/8 meter — bring the concerto to a bracing close.
JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor, BWV 1052
Allegro • Adagio • Allegro
WORK COMPOSED: ca. 1730
The great bulk of Bach’s instrumental music derives from his years in Cöthen (1717–23), and it was in that princely haven that he wrote most of his original concertos. In 1723 he moved permanently to Leipzig, where his duties centered on liturgical music. Yet for over a decade beginning in 1729, and despite a heavy workload at the Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church), he involved himself in the University of Leipzig’s Collegium Musicum, where he had the chance to write strictly secular (i.e., instrumental) music.
Although most of Bach’s keyboard concertos have been traced to preexisting works from his Cöthen years, provenance is lacking for the D minor Concerto. Some scholars opine that this, his most dramatic concerto, derives from an unknown Italian original, a not unreasonable
assumption since Bach had a high regard for his Mediterranean counterparts, especially Vivaldi. Yet other musicologists believe BWV 1052 derives from a lost violin concerto by Bach, as is the case with several of his other keyboard concertos. In 1728 Bach arranged the music for organ and orchestra for use in two cantatas, BWV 146 and BWV 188. Whatever the original source, this concerto is by far the most compelling of the lot.
The first and third movements bristle with energy of a fierce and demonic sort. The intervening slow movement, in pronounced contrast, moves with a measured tread as if chiseled from granite and urged onward by a life-creating animus.
The D minor Keyboard Concerto remained known long after most of Bach’s music disappeared from public performance venues. Felix Mendelssohn — who resurrected Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829, thereby
launching the still flourishing Bach renaissance — played the D minor Concerto. Johannes Brahms, who considered the publication of the complete works of Bach one of the two greatest joys of his life, composed a cadenza for this splendid concerto.
JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH
Keyboard Concerto No. 5 in F minor, BWV 1056
[No tempo indicated] • Largo • Presto
WORK COMPOSED: ca. 1730
Less than half the length of the D minor Keyboard Concerto, the F minor work is by no means the comparative “runt of the litter.” Terse though it may be, it lacks nothing in animated drama, especially in the pulsing opening movement; minor keys brought out

Bach’s penchant for dark energy and rich chromatic harmony, borne out fully herein. By contrast, the middle movement in the major mode is languorous in its gently unfolding warmth, delightfully enhanced by a plucked string accompaniment. The finale returns to the minor mode and propels the movement onward with fervor. Subtle echo effects brought about by quietly repeated two-note-long “tags” of themes just heard recall such usage in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and elsewhere in his vast canon.
CARL PHIL IPP EMANUEL BACH
Sinfonia in C major, W. 182, No. 3
Allegro assai • Adagio • Allegretto
BORN: March 8, 1714, in Weimar
DIED: December 14, 1788, in Hamburg
WORK COMPOSED: 1773
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach was the second surviving son of Johann Sebastian Bach by his first wife and the most prolific composer of any of his father’s many children. After years of service at the court of Frederick the Great in Berlin, C.P.E. moved to Hamburg in 1767 to succeed the recently deceased Georg Philipp Telemann as Cantor and Music Director of the Hamburg Johanneum. The move gave Bach the freedom to explore new musical vistas that the musically talented but conservative monarch would not have countenanced.
Bach composed six so-called “Hamburg” Sinfonias, W. 182, in 1773 on commission from Baron Gottfried von Swieten (who made his large collection of J.S. Bach scores available to Mozart and Beethoven) for performance in Vienna. Unlike the music he had written in Berlin, these new works were startlingly innovative. Even today they seem novel and express far more passion than is found in the seamless grace of his earlier works.
In 1814 an article appeared in the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung that described an event organized years earlier by von Swieten in advance of publication of the “Hamburg” Sinfonias.
The reporter noted, “One could hear with enchantment the original, bold progression of ideas and the great variety and novelty in the forms and modulations, even if they were not entirely appreciated. Seldom has a musical composition of higher, bolder and more witty character flowed from the soul of a genius. It would be a real loss for art if these masterpieces were to remain buried in a private collection.”
The Sinfonia in C major leaps forward energetically, stopping several times for unexpected pauses on equally unexpected chords before returning to the movement’s headlong pace. This is C.P.E. at his most delightfully shocking. Beginning without pause, the Adagio’s steady tread does not lessen the movement’s heightened emotion, enriched by jabbing dissonances and ominous chords. Marked Allegretto, the finale is Janus-like in its alternation between Baroque style and strong hints of the Classical style of Haydn.
GEORG PHIL IPP TELEMANN
Suite No. 2 in G minor, TWV 55:G9
Ouverture • Gavotte en rondeau • Loure • Gigue • Menuets I & II • Bourrée • Chaconne
BORN: March 14, 1681, in Magdeburg
DIED: June 25, 1767, in Hamburg
WORK COMPOSED: Before 1715
If history has been kinder to J.S. Bach than to Telemann, affairs were quite otherwise in their overlapping lifetimes. Bach was viewed by audiences and proponents of the new galant style as an old fuddy-duddy, writing tiresome and cerebral fugues, while Telemann stood in everybody’s good stead, churning out reams of fluent, accessible music (94 volumes versus Bach’s “mere” 56). If Telemann lacked Bach’s genius (and really, who doesn’t?), he was a very able composer with great knowledge and insight into the music of his time. He maintained a lifelong friendship with Handel. Their letters reveal a mutual respect and detailed commentary on each other’s compositions.

Unlike many performer-composers, Telemann consciously avoided writing music that was too difficult to play. He strove to make a wide variety of music available for talented amateurs to perform. He was tireless in his support of young musicians and can truly be counted among music history’s “good guys.”
In his long career Telemann wrote a great deal of music of all kinds in a style that extends the late Baroque into the age of Haydn. He composed hundreds of suites, that ubiquitous format in the Baroque that opens with an overture followed by a sequence of dance-inspired movements. Telemann’s contemporary music therapist, Johann Mattheson, noted that “a dance for concert performance was as different from the dance floor as night from day.”
The G minor Suite opens with a regal Ouverture in customary short-long “dotted” rhythm before switching to a fast-paced and energetic second section with delightful interplay between the oboes and bassoon, and a reprise of music from the first section. A jaunty Gavotte follows with quick back-and-forth statements by the solo winds and the string ensemble. A serene Loure, also with some dotted rhythms, comes next, leading to a sprightly Gigue, whose ensemble-only part yields to oboes and bassoon in the midsection before returning to the “A” episode.
A two-part Menuet settles initially into an unhurried pace before adopting a livelier tempo for a middle section colored by chirping oboes. A vivacious, animated Bourrée motors forward with good-hearted spirit. The suite concludes with a multi-section Chaconne offering contrasting tempos and varied instrumental color.

The Seattle Symphony got the summer of 2014 off to a rocking start on May 31 with Club Ludo 3 at the Chihuly Boathouse. Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Music Director Ludovic Morlot headlined the sold-out event, and the Chris Friel Orchestra, Special Explosion and musicians of the Seattle Symphony had revelers dancing long into the night. Clubbers enjoyed delectables from landmark Seattle restaurants, including John Howie Steak and Dick’s Drive-In, and a selection of premiere libations. Live and silent auctions provided attendees with an opportunity to keep the party going by taking home one-of-a-kind items and experiences.
The Seattle Symphony wishes to thank everyone who attended Club Ludo 3, the musicians who made it such a night to remember, Presenting Sponsor CTI BioPharma, the Club Ludo 3 Committee for their tremendous dedication and hard work, the many individuals and organizations who donated items to the auctions, and all our incredible sponsors whose generous support made Club Ludo 3 possible. Thanks to you, this year’s event raised over $150,000 in support of the Symphony’s education and community programs!
