REQUIEM

PROGRAM NOTES BY DAVID CRANE

DIEslRAE

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, etlux perpetua luceat eis; te decet hymnus,Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum inJerusalem; exaudi orationem meam, ad teomnis caro veniet. Requiem aeternamdona eis, Domine, it lux perpetua luceateis.

Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrieeleison.

Dies irae, dies ilia solvet saeclum infavilla, teste David cum Sybilla.

Quantus tremor est futurus, quando judexest venturus, cuncta stricte discussurus.

Eternal rest grant to them, 0 Lord, and letperpetual light shine upon them; to Thee isdue a song of praise, 0 God, in Sion, andto Thee a vow shall be paid in Jerusalem;grant my prayer; to Thee all flesh shallcome. Eternal rest grant to them, 0 Lord,and let perpetual light shin upon them.

Lord have mercy OJl us. Christ have mercyon us. Lord have mercy on us.

The day of wrath, that day ofgrief shallchange the world to glowing ash, as Davidand Sibyl tell.

How great a quaking shall there be whenon that day the judge shall come, to weighman's deeds in each detail.

Ever since recorded sound made its way into film, a unique marriage between filmmakers and classical music has existed. Music of the masters has played an integral rolein enhancing plot, action, and especially, elevating our emotional involvement inparticular scenes. On the other side of the coin,· visual images on screen have greatlyenhanced the effect of the music on the listener. Whatever the relationship between thetwo, much forethought has gone into the process of integrating the classics with film.

Walt Disney's animated classic Fantasia hit the theaters in 1940 and was one of theyear's most popular movies, second only to another Disney production, Pinocchio - ah,the days when clean family entertainment was a box office boom. Fantasia was anunprecendented collaboration between director, Ben Sharpstean, narrator, DeemsTaylor, Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra, scores of artists, and themusic of Beethoven, Dukas, Stravinsky, and Mussorgsky, among others. In a timebefore computers, the amount of man-hours required to produce this feature wasincredulous--24 distinct drawings (one per frame) were needed to create the illusion ofone second of motion!

The rich imagery in Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain as described below inhis autograph manuscript, was tailormade for animation:

"Subterranean sounds from supernatural voices. --Appearance of the spirits ofthe dark and, after them, of Chernobog (the black god). --Glorification ofChemobog and Black Mass. --Sabbath. --At the height of the sabbath, distantecho of the bell of a small village church; this disperses the spirits of the dark.--The break of day."

SCENA E PREGHIERI (SCENE AND IRAYER)

DAILY11 - 10

VILJA

One morning a huntsman all galant and gay,While chasing wild boar in the wood cool

and grayEspied a fair dryad among the great trees,And as soon as he saw her bright hair in the

breezeTender thoughts began to throng;Quest ofgame no more was strong,For this straightway became his hunting

song:

Queen of the Heavens, grief is ended!He, whom thy love once defended,From the tomb is now ascended, is ascendedas He promised.Let us sing Christ our Lord's wondrous story!

Vilja, fair dryad, you rule in the wood,O'er blossoms, bees, and the tiny bird

brood,Vilja, dear maiden, your rule I'll obey;Sweet Vilja, love me, I pray.

He has rended the veil of the tomb,Let us sing! Christ today reigns in glory,He is ris'n; Light divine conquers gloom!Hallelujah!

Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Soundtrack, Art Direction/SetDecoration, Actor (Abraham), Costume Design, Makeup--these are the eight Oscars the1984 production ofAmadeus received. Directed by Milos Forman, Amadeus is the storyof young Mozart (Tom Hulce) the brash upstart, clashing with the older, stad Salieri (F.Murray Abraham), court composer for the Hapsburg Emperor, Joseph II. Mozart'snatural genius becomes increasingly disconcerting to Salieri. Although Salieri is muchmore successful than his younger counterpart, he realizes that he has met his match withthe beauty and depth of Mozart's music.

SUNDAYS11:30 - 9

Filmed in Prague, vivid cinematography is juxtaposed with the sounds of Sir NevilleMariner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. In the opening scene, as a horsedrawn carriage barrels down a narrow alley, the beginning of Symphony No. 25, withits great energy and driving syncopation, complements the intensity of the scene.Toward the end of the movie, Mozart is on his death bed with Salieri at his side. Tooweak to write, Mozart is composing the Requiem in his head, while Salieri scribblesdown what is dictated to him. As the work sprouts forth, it emerges into the soundtrackof the film. An overwhelming grip on our emotions takes place as Mozart composeswhat, in actuality, is his own requiem. Sublime musical creation and cinematographybecome one.

Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Spac~ Odyssey was to the science fiction genre asFantasia was to animation--a standard from which others would be judged. A Britishmovie made in 1968 starring HAL, a computer, 2001 won an Oscar for special effects.The somewhat abstract story line traces the prehistoric birth of man's intelligence, hisfirst confrontation with a Higher Power, and a space journey which leads the astronauts(and audience) through a time warp where man's essence has spacecraft and itsoccupants. Indeed, computers today have taken on a certain omnipotence, apremonition made 25 years ago when the film came out. Only 8 more years until theOdyssey....

The opening seconds of this epic would bring Richard Strauss' Also SprachZarathustra into the ears of mainstream society. Moments later in the film, aspacecraft is "dancing" through space to the tune of Johann Strauss' (unrelated toRichard) Blue Danube Waltz, a stark contrast to the "dawn of man" reverberations ofAlso Sprach Zarathustra.

In the spring of 1933, the Leningrad film director, Feinzimmer, approachedProkofiev to compose the incidental music to the satirical farce, Lieutenant Kije.Although Prokofiev had never composed for film before, he enthusiastically acceptedthe challenge. The film's run however was short lived, and Prokofiev subsequentlyadapted the score into a concert suite.

"Lieutenant Kije, is a triumph of grotesquerie: at the court of mad Emperor Paul I,terror reigns, with courtiers in such fear of the czar that none dares to emend anofficially approved memorandum that erroneously declares one officer dead and,through another slip, creates a nonexistent lieutenant. With magisterial modulation,Tynyanov recounts the psychic disintegration of the first and the splendid rise of thesecond" --Publishers Weekly.

To conceal these errors from the ruthless Emperor Paul I, a biography is created forKije, including a wedding where the bride stands side by side, with, well--nothing butthin air. Over the course of time the Emperor promotes Kije to the rank of general, andwishes finally to meet his hero. The conspirators then have to save their own hides byarranging the death of this soldier who never existed.

Parts of the suite were incorporated into the 1988 film Crossing Delancey, directedby Joan Silver. Amy Irving stars as the New York City bookstore employee whosegrandmother arranges for a meeting with an eligible bachelor through the services of amarriage broker. As the plot thickens, old world tradition confronts modem ways.Appropriately, the "Kije's Wedding" themes are woven into the story line.

The Mafia and Italian opera have enjoyed "family ties." Indeed the world's mostfamous gangster, Al Capone, had such an affinity. This ironic marriage of crime andculture is masterfully depicted in Francis Ford Coppola's 1990 film, Godfather III. AlPacino plays a mafioso attempting to move his family interests away from crime andinto legitimate enterprises. Fate and circumstance draw him back in, along with histrigger happy nephew (Andy Garcia) and the rest ofhis family, the Corleones.

Excerpts from Mascagni's one act opera Cavalleria Rusticana, a sordid tale of love,hate, jealousy, and revenge, provide a perfect backdrop for the plot.

Calling all Alfred Hitchcock mystery buffs. . .. One of Hitchcock's personalfavorites was his 1943 film, Shadow ofa Doubt. Uncle Charlie (Joseph Cotten) travelsfrom Philadelphia, one step ahead of the law, to visit his relatives in the sleepy town ofSanta Rosa, CA. His niece and namesake "Young Charlie" (Teresa Wright) is quitetaken by her uncle, that is, until she begins to suspect him of being the killer of anumber of widowed women, the so called Merry Widow murderer. A deadly game ofcat and mouse ensues. This was one of the few Hitchcock films actually shot onlocation.

Hitchcock could not have been hard pressed to find the appropriate music for thesoundtrack. Lehar's ever popular operetta, The Merry Widow, was a prime suspect forthe role.

PROGRAM NOTES

Hector Berlioz - b. Cote St. Andre, December II, 1893; d. Paris, March 8, 1869.

Overture to Benvenuto Cellini

When first pelformed in Paris on September 10, 1838, under Berlioz's baton, theopera Benvenuto Cellini was, in the composer's words, "hissed with admirable energyand unanimity." The work was composed when "grand opera" was in vogue, whereby anincreasingly prominent middle class, albeit relatively uncultured, were lured to grandiosedisplays on stage. An abundance of ballets, choruses, and crowd scenes became standardfare, and as described above, impromptu "audience participation" was not unheard of.

This opera about a famous sixteenth-century Florentine sculptor and goldsmith was,in short, an instant flop. Whereas it could be said that the opera and its sculptor droppedto footnote status, the overture carved out a distinguished niche in concert halls.

The overture opens with a manic theme which yields to a slow and expressivemelody, introduced by the cellos and basses. The opening theme returns and in duecourse the slow theme is triumphantly pronounced by the brass, against a continuousfrenzied passage by the strings, leading to the surprise ending.

Antonin Dvorak - b. Muhlhausen, September 8, 1841; d. Prague, May I, 1904.

Serenade for Strings

The serenade as a musical form had its origins in Italy in the middle 1500's with thechivalrous tradition of one singing in the evening to his beloved, below her window. Itlater also became associated with an instrumental piece scored for a relatively smallensemble, intended for evening entertainment. Similar to the suite in form, the serenadeconsists of several movements derived from dance.

Dvorak captures the intimacy of this form with his Serenade for Strings in E major.He apparently took to this form, having written a counterpart for winds as well. A folksyflavor, stemming from Dvorak's Czech/Bohemian roots, is heard in his Serenade forStrings. The first of five movements will be performed this evening. It has a cozy "sitaround the fireplace" quality, with the themes weaving gracefully throughout the stringsections.

Alan Hovaness - b. Somerville, Mass., March 8, 1911.

Fantasy on Japanese Wood Prints

There has long been a tradition of writing a work for a specific artist, as was the casewith Hovaness's Fantasy on Japanese Wood Prints. Written for the virtuoso xylophoneplayer, Yoichi Hiraoka, the Fantasy was first performed by him in 1965, with Seiji Ozawaconducting the Chicago Symphony.

Hovaness, an American composer, is of Armenian and Scottish descent. This crosscultural background found its way into his musical style, which often fuses westerntraditions with those of other cultures. Hence, to a culinary artist's taste buds, the Fantasyon Japanese Wood Prints might taste like a sampling of sausage sushi.

Inspired by ancient Japanese wood prints, the Fallla.l)' begins with tone "painting"using an oriental mode, presented in free form by the strings. The ethereal opening givesway to continual variation, a compositional style prevalent in eastern music. All themelodies are Hovaness's own and in his own words "they are evocations of my love forJapan, its extraordinary art, and vitality." Although the original score calls for xylophoneas the solo instrument, its close cousin, the marimba, is often used in performance.

Jacques Ibert - b. Paris, August 15, 1890; d. Paris, February 5, 1962.

Concerto for Flute and Orchestra

After World War I, many French composers rebelled against Impressionism and itsintrinsic "haziness." The opaque Monet-like brushes of sound as exemplified by Debussyand Ravel, were losing their foothold on the French school. Instead; composers such asMilhaud, Poulenc and Ibert sought clarity and a respect for traditional harmonies. At thesame time they splashed about in occasional puddles of dissonance. This movement inmusic became known as neo-c1assicism.

The French, in particular, were inclined toward satire, frivolity, and wit. In this samevain, Ibert's style is marked by his strong appetite for "jeu," or play. Ibert's Concerto forFlute and Orchestra was dedicated to, and premiered by, Marcel Moyse in Paris, inFebruary of 1934. Although Ibert is most known for his works in theater and cinema, hedid write music free of programmatic intent. His Flute Concerto, scored for a scaleddown orchestra of strings, woodwinds, and trumpet, belongs to the category known as"pure art." The first of three movements will be performed this evening.

Hungary. It has been said that Kodaly in particular developed a "people's" music. TheHl//Y Janos Suite. taken from the opera of the same name is true to this concept. The operawas first produced in Budapest in October of 1926. Kodaly later compiled an orchestralsuite from the production.

Hary Janos is the story of a veteran soldier recounting the outrageous exploits of hispast, which amount to tall tales and an imagination running rampant. The openingorchestral "sneeze" in the suite is purportedly Hary Janos guarantee that the eventsrecounted are true, that he met and fell in love with a princess, that he was indispensable toNapoleon's defeat, that he took part in the highest echelons of diplomacy in the Emperor'spalace, to mime some of his ostensible feats.

Hary Janos represents the secret desires of man, who, while "living lives of quietdesperation," yearn for something more. Like our hero in this story, part of the humanexperience is to dream of unbridled adventure, righting wrongs, falling in love with Princeor Princess Charming, and triumphing over adversity.

"FOR OVER 40 YEARS"

Vieuxtemps and Berlioz traveled in some of the same circles in Paris. Upon hearingVieuxtemps' 4th Violin Concerto, Berlioz remarked that "he 'showed himself no lessremarkable as a composer than he was incomparable as a virtuoso." Indeed, Vieuxtempsbegan concertizing at the age of 8, and soon became known internationaIIy as one of thebest violinists of his generation.

Like his predecessor Paganini, Vieuxtemps wrote for his instrument - some eightconcertos and other smaller works. All but the Fourth and Fifth have slipped to the backshelves of musical archives. Violin Concerto No.5, which genuinely deserves a place intoday's repertoire, was premiered by the composer in 1861, and was intended as acompetition piece for the Brussels Conservatory. The Concerto initially had twomovements - a third was added later. The movements are written without interruption,and the music alternates between dazzling pyrotechnics and warm lyrical passages.

Zolton Kodaly - b. Kecskemet, Hungary, December 16,1882; d. Budapest, March 6,1967.

Hary Janos Suite

Kodaly and his compatriot Bartok notated thousands of Hungarian folk melodies, andthrough the influence of these tunes they both adopted a nationalist style unique to

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

Young Riddle, 40, is active as both a composer and conductor and is presently on the Theoryand Composition faculty at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Asa conductor,Mr. Riddle has performed regionally leading both familiar works from the standard repertoire andworld premieres by contemporary composers. His own orchestral music includes PlateatL'(,Gestures, and Excursions Through the NOl1h Shore, and has been supported by the Ruth and HarryWyatt Grant, Alchin Music Scholarship, Hans Salter Music Scholarship and a commission from theNorth Shore Chamber Orchestra (of which Mr. Riddle was co-principal guest conductor from1986-87). His compositions for smaller chamber ensembles have also been well received includingvarious works for violin, winds, voice, piano, and a Brass Quintet (first prize-Goucher College /Annapolis Brass Competition).. -

Trained initially as a pianist and trumpeter, Mr. Riddle turnedtoward composition in his mid-teens and purs~ed formal compositionstudies at USC and the Aspen Music Festival. Additionally, Mr. Riddleholds advanced degrees in composition and orchestral conducting fromNorthwestern University where he and Southwest Symphony OrchestraMusic Director, David Crane, were both students of Russian-bornconductor Victor Yampolsky. Their mutual artistic respect and collegialfriendship finds its long awaited culmination in this collaborative projectwhich brings conductor, composer, orchestra, and audience together forthe birth of a new creative work.

PROGRAM NOTES

Franz Peter Schubert: b. Lichtenthal, January 31, 1797; d. Vienna, November 19, 1828.

Symphony No.8 in B Minor ("Unfinished")

Judging from the subtitle "Unfinished" one might imagine the composer being laid to rest justafter his pen wrote the final E major chord which drifts into silence in the second movement. Oddlyenough, the two movements were composed in 1822, and six years later, shortly before his death,he completed Symphony No.9 in C Major ("The Great"), a fifty minute work of grand proportion.

Why Schubert never "finished" Symphony No.8 remains a mystery. Perhaps the composer feltthe beauty and perfection of the first two movements could not be sustained through a third andfourth - that the work, as unbalanced as it appears, should be an entity unto itself. There is theargument however, that Schubert had the standard four movements in mind. He did outline a thirdmovement in piano score, and went so far as to orchestrate a few bars. An entire movement in thekey of B minor of appropriate length and orchestration appears as an entr'acte to the playRosemunde. He may have redirected the 4th movement for that purpose.

The "Unfinished" Symphony bares the markings of pathos and yearning, and, from amusicological perspective, is considered pivotal in the transition from the Classical period to theRomantic. Ironically, Symphony No.8 remained unpublished and in private hands for forty years,until it was finally performed in Vienna on December 17, 1865.

Volute by Young Riddle

The genisis of Volute stems from my fascination with texture and harmonic space. Voicingsand timbre enthrall me, and decisions about them take up at least as much of my compositionaltime as theoretical machinations of the basic source material or its projections into underlyingstructure (which I am, of course, also quite involved with). The guiding processes behind the musicare therefore less blatant (cf, eighteenth and nineteenth century germanic scores), more sensuouslyimmediate and subtle (somewhat in the french tradition).

The title Volute (va-loot) has architectural implications of a twisted or spiral formation, as in a

sea shell's whorls or the scroll-like ornamentation atop certain columns. While not programmatic inthe strict sense - it does not attempt to render in music the liquid potential of a particular intricatedesign, or chronicle the life and loves of a gastropod (!) - the piece does unfold in similarsworling spirals from which more stable tones emerge, etc. The image of a volute is also a usefulreference, for the work is often more suggestive than declamatory, and many people visualize formsor scenes to such music.

I-find the very sound of the word "volute" to render in essence the dramatic journey of theentire composition. That is, the poetic diction and pure phonetics of the word have an exceptionallyanalogous form to that of the music. And this correspondence between the meaning and sound ofthe word and the effect of the music attracted me to the title. The title then came after the music.

Volute is in four main sections that proceed uninterrupted. The opening section's cascades arefollowed by a more propulsive second section. The third section stands somewhat in relief with itstimbral homogeneity and more direct instrumentation, and in its formal freedom. Making use ofbounded but internally, vaguely unstructured parts, the conductor guides the group behavior anddirects the general fundamental process, but does not always beat time or coordinate individuals.This leads into the final section which briefly reprises the opening material, much as a spiral figuremight.

Volute was commissioned by and is dedicated to the Southwest Symphony Orchestra incommemoration of their 30th anniversary.

- Young Riddle

Samuel Barber (b. W. Chester, PA, March 9, 1910; d. New York City, January 23, 1981)

In 1938 Toscanni premiered two of Barber's works on the same program, the First Essay andthe Adagio for Strings, an orchestral transcription of the second movement of his String Quartet.The Adagio brought the composer much acclaim in the U.S. and Europe, and is to this day his mostpopular and most frequently performed work. His reputation as a composer established, Barberreceived several commissions in the late 40's and through the 50's. Three vocal works wereincluded in this time period: Knoxville: Summer of 1915, Hermit Songs, and Prayer ofKierkegaard.Knoxville was commissioned, and first performed, by Eleanor Stebor, in the version for largerorchestra, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, on April 9, 1948, Serge Koussevitsky conducting.The scaled down version heard this evening is the one most often heard in concert halls.

Barber's inclination toward vocal music can be traced to the Rose Tree, a short opera he wroteas an adolescent. In addition to composition, he studied voice at the Curtis Institute. and in Vienna.For a while, he had contemplated a career as a baritone.

In 1971 Barber wrote of his compositions: "(When) I'm writing music for words, then Iimmerse myself in those words, and I let the music flow out of them. When I write an abstractpiano sonata or concerto, I write what I feel. I'm not a self-conscious composer ... it is said that Ihave no style at all but that doesn't matter. I just go on doing, as they say, my thing. I believe thistakes a certain courage."

Knoxville is sub-titled "We are talking now of summer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee in thetime that I lived there so successfully disguised to myself as a child." These compelling words ofJames Agee and the ensuing poetry that Barber so skillfully adapts, are autobiographical for Agee.Born in Knoxville in 1909, Agee portrays a six year old's reflections of his home town.

We are talking /101l' ofsummer evenings in Knoxville, Tennessee in the time that 1 lived there sosucces.\jitlly disguised to myselfas a child.

... It has become that time of evening when people sit on their porches, rocking gently andtalking gently and watching the street and the standing up into their sphere of possession of thetrees, of birds' hung havens, hangars. People go by; things go by. A horse, drawing a buggy,breaking his hollow iron music on the asphalt: a loud auto: a quiet auto: people in pairs, not in ahurry, scuffling, switching their weight of aestival body, talking casually, the taste hovering overthem of vanilla, strawberry, pasteboard, and starched milk, the image upon them of lovers and

horsemen, squared with clowns in hueless amber. A streetcar raising its iron moan; stopping;belling and starting, stertorous; rousing and raising again its iron increasing moan and swimmingits gold windows and straw seats on past and past and past, the bleak spark crackling and cursingabove it like a small malignant spirit set to dog its tracks; the iron whine -rises on rising speed; stillrisen, faints; halts; the faint stinging bell; rises again, still fainter; fainting, lifting, lifts, faintsforegone: forgotten. Now is the night one blue dew.

Now is the night one blue dew, my father has drained, he has coiled the hose.

Low on the length of lawns, a frailing of fire who breathes ...Parents on porches: rock and rock. From damp strings morning glories hang their ancient

faces.

The dry and exalted noise of the locusts from all the air at once enchants my eardrums.

On the rough wet grass of the back yard my father and mother have spread quilts. We all liethere, my mother, my father, my uncle, my aunt, and I too am lying there.... They are not talkingmuch, and the talk is quiet, of nothing in particular, of nothing at all in particular, of nothing at all.The stars are wide and alive, they seem each like a smile of great sweetness, and they seem verynear. All my people are larger bodies than mine, ... with voices gentle and meaningless like thevoices of sleeping birds. One is an artist, he is living at home. One is a musician, she is living athome. One is my mother who is good to me. One is my father who is good to me. By some chance,here they are, all on this earth; and who shall ever tell the sorrow of being on this earth, lying, onquilts, on the grass, in a summer evening, among the sounds of the night. May God bless mypeople, my uncle, my aunt, my mother, my good father, oh, remember them kindly in their time oftrouble; and in the hour of their taking away.

After a little I am taken in and put to bed. Sleep, soft smiling, draws me unto her: and thosereceive me, who quietly treat me, as one familiar and well-beloved in that home: but will not, oh,\vill not, not now, not ever; but will not ever tell me who I am.

Igor Stravinsky: b. Oranienbaum, June 17, 1882; d. New York City, April 6, 1971.

Firebird Suite

Three of Stravinsky's ballet<; composed from 1910-13, - The Firebird, Petmuskll, and The Rite ofSpring - would become landmarks in a new era for serious art music. With each work, Stravinsky stretchedthe bounds of 19th century tonality and challenged the confines of traditional form, meter and rhythm.

Stravinsky was a young composer of 27, when he accepted, with understandable trepidation, acommission to compose music for the ballet 771e Firebird, choreographed by the acclaimed Diaghilev. Thepremier on June 25, 19 I0 conducted by Gabriel Pieme at the Paris Opera, made Stravinsky an overnightcelebrity, fueling confidence and inspiration for many future masterpieces.

The following year the composer condensed the ballet music into a five movement suite, later revisingthe Suite in 1919 and 1947, reducing the orchestration and making minor changes in the music itself. Thelast two movements of the 1919 version are heard this evening. The following is the story of the Firebird, a<;described by Stravinsky biographer, Robert Craft:

During a hunting expedition, Prince Ivan, the Tsarevich, wanders into an enchanted garden.There, he spies a beautiful bird with dazzling plumage that is trying to pluck golden fruit from a silvertree. Ivan captures the bird but yields to its entreaties to be set free. In gratitude, the Firebird gives Ivana magic feather.

As the sun rises. thirteen enchanted princesses come from the ca<;tle to dance and play withgolden apples. Ivan discloses himself and is told the castle is the property of the evil magicianKastchei, who turns captive travelers into stone. Ivan, now in love with one of the princesses, vows toenter the castle. As he opens the gates, Kastchei and his crew of grotesques march into the scene.Kastchei tries to bewitch Ivan but the Prince is protected by the Firebird's feather. The Firebird thenappears and casts a spell by dancing wildly among the demons. The bird then reveals to Ivan an eggwhich contains Kastchei's soul. Ivan sma<;hes the egg, and Ka<;tchei dies. With his death, theprincesses are liberated, and the ballet ends jubilantly.

"FOR OVER 40 YEARS"

George Bizet: b. Paris, October 25, 1838; d. Bougival, June 3, 1875.

Music accompanying plays could command hefty commissions for nineteenth centurycomposers from Beethoven to Schubert to Sullivan. Mendelssohn's overture, A Midsummer Night'sDream, for example, was later expanded into a suite - the direct result of a commission from KingFrederick William IV of Prussia to write incidental music for the Shakespeare play of the samename - pragmatism begetting a masterpiece.

Bizet was commissioned to compose music to accompany Alphonse Daudet's playL'Arlesienne (The Woman from Aries), presented in Paris on October I, 1872, with an orchestra oftwenty-six players. A fully orchestrated four movement concert suite compiled by the composerwas premiered in Paris the following month.

After Bizen's death, his composer colleague Ernest Guiraud compiled a second L 'ArlesienneSuite. Guiraud is somewhat incorrectly credited as. its arranger. In actuality, he not only toyed withBizet's music, but composed some fresh material for the second suite. There are some otherpeculiarities associated with L'Arlesienne Suite No.2. The Menuetto, for instance, is not Bizet'smusic from Dauret's play, rather, an adaptation of music from his opera The Fair Maid ofPerth.The fourth movement begins with the opening march from Suite No. I, followed by a traditionaldance, th~ farandole, Guiraud then craftily combines the two ,tunes with a brilliant ending.

Unlike Shakespeare's play mentioned above. Dauret's play disappeared into obscurity.Fortunately, concert goers can still enjoy Bizet's and Guiraud's music.

The Southwest Symphony Orchestra relies on contributions to meet its expenses. The sale ofconcert tickets and program advertising is not enough to cover our operating costs such as hallrental, professional services, music, printing, publicity, insurance, and postage. Like otherorchestras in this country, we must depend on the generosity of contributors to break even.

The Southwest Symphony Orchestra would like to thank the following businesses and individualsfor their generosity this season. You have all helped keep this community orchestra performing inthe southwest suburbs.

Also, Sections 1 and 3 in the seating chart were inadvertently reversed. Section 1should be in the center of the McAuley Theater and Section 3 should be around theperimeter. We are sorry for any confusion this may have caused. -;:/.. //1
