Program Notes Jean Sibelius (1865-1957) The Oceanides, Op. 73 (1914) Duration: 11 minutes The circumstances of the first performance of Jean Sibelius’ Oceanides seem to belie its subject matter; for a piece by a composer whose aesthetic is so strongly associated with the contemplation of Scandinavian landscapes, it is strikingly weird to learn that the piece was premiered in the US—at Yale University—on June 4, 1914. Maybe there is relevant information here after all, though. It hints at the degree to which Sibelius’ works were finding and, were trying to find, audiences outside of the German circles to which he was initially so attracted. By the second decade of the 20th century, this composer was a sort of reactionary progressive—deeply invested in the rigors of tonality but also holding onto the conviction that tonality itself had to be maintained along with those rigors. (Schoenberg famously, for instance, disagreed with the latter, as his music made its way through free atonality to serialism.)

One might view the present work as one of many attempts to rescue tonality from impending irrelevance and inauthenticity. Tonality—both in harmonic and melodic senses—serves here as mimetic of nature, and not simply in a straightforward sense. Its opening flute theme, first heard on a bed of watery strings standing on D major, develops unpredictably but without resting. One could imagine this as a representation of the the water nymphs of the title; a better interpretation might be that this sense of simultaneous stability and changeability is a story about tonality itself. Formally, there is a second thematic area, heard in the mournful solo oboe and clarinet and more uncertain in its harmonic destination. This work unfolds as a process of developing these themes, its final iteration an extraordinarily powerful build-up to the “crashing of the great wave” as Olin Downes (a music critic and Sibelius ally) put it. It is the only real cadence in the entire piece: a tremendous affirmation of D major, and, more to the point, of the natural order that out-lasts a humanity that created the idea of cadences.

Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Serenade No. 1 in D Major, Op. 11 (1858) Duration: 55 minutes Johannes Brahms is nearly as well known for the anxieties surrounding the pieces he almost didn’t write as he is for the music he did. The Serenade No. 1 in D major, Op. 11 (initially, tellingly, a “Symphony-Serenade”) is a significant marker in that long, complex, fraught tale. DePaul Concert Orchestra • November 10, 2016 Program Notes Completed the year (1858) after his first piano concerto—a work which began its life as a symphony, in the same key as Beethoven’s 9th (D minor)—Op. 11 is, similarly, a militantly ambivalent not-quite-symphony. The plan of its movement layout clearly reflects an understanding of and engagement with the Viennese classical serenades of Mozart and Schubert (and Beethoven in his earlier years): allegro/scherzo/adagio/minuet/scherzo/finale. (Even its initial version as a chamber work, a nonet, reflects this heritage.) It’s as if the too-many-scherzos are a half-hearted attempt to trick the listener into taking the work less seriously, to accord its internal formal structures less weight. Anyone who sits though the exhaustive hour of development, though, won’t be fooled.

The first movement might be thought of as some sort of early version of neo- classicism: charming, beautiful, and pretending to an innocence it simply does not possess. It opens with a rural topos that is a direct reference to the last movement of Haydn’s final symphony (itself city music—the “London” symphony, an irony surely not lost on Brahms). After this is a strict, almost severely constructed sonata form: a second theme with a relaxed rhythmic life, a repeat of the opening, a long development section, a grammatically correct recapitulation of all the themes, an achievement of a roundly affirmed tonic key. Two details reveal its anxiety, though: 1) the moment of recapitulation, the return of the idyllic opening horn theme happens with a “wrong” note in the chord, rendering it a dominant seventh in a different key, and 2) the long coda, in which the main theme evaporates in the flute, problematizes and questions precisely the tonality the movement had affirmed.

The firstscherzo takes this question mark as its subject matter. Rather than D major, the movement is cast in the minor mode, and most of its outer sections are quiet and subdued and restless (similar to much later music— the scherzo of the composer’s second piano concerto). The trio section is warm, more leisurely, and in the open-minded key of B-flat major, with a bold theme whose rhythmic displacement in the strings is more funny than sinister.

“What is such transcendence doing in a serenade?” musicologist Michael Steinberg beseeches the universe regarding the exceptionally long third movement. It moves (if that is the right word) at a pace best described as contemplative, and its mode is patience and pacifism. If one imagines this Symphony-Serenade as at least partially “country” (as opposed to “city”) music, we have reached here a clearing in the middle of the forest, a place of rest, repose, taking stock of one’s journey—whether it be an actual or a metaphorical one. Again, as with the first, one may notice that it is cast in a sophisticated sonata form. However, to fixate on that would be to miss the point of its extremely slow-moving reveal of absolute radiance. DePaul Concert Orchestra • November 10, 2016 Program Notes What can one say after this? Wisely, Brahms choses the most modest movement of the work, a miniature minuet for chamber ensemble within the orchestra. First a clarinet duet, bashfully accompanied by lower instruments, then expressive violins for the trio section, charming called the “Minuet II” in an intentionally archaicizing fashion.

The second scherzo returns us to rural discourse, with the first French horn doing is best imitation of a hunting topos. The atmosphere is athletic, confident, and joyful. For Brahms it’s also an imitation of Beethoven (the movement is a clear reference to the scherzo of that composer’s second symphony) that appears to be free of the normal conflict, a humorous take- down of his artistic forebearer that we see only rarely in an otherwise anxiety- ridden oeuvre.

The final movement, finally: it is the most sophisticated rondo one is likely to encounter before Strauss’s Till Eulenspiegel, from several years later. The form of the rondo is meant to be light and simple-minded: ABACADA, a continual returning to a theme, not too taxing on a listener who’s been through a lot after all. Here, though, the theme is not settled and a bit uncertain— its galloping dotted figures don’t stay in a single key, and it doesn’t have a defining melodic feature. This allows it to return easily but sometimes stealthily, thus blurring formal lines that are usually clearly demarcated. Before a finally-fully-triumphant coda, the music seems to pause to consider its own creation in a moment with a strikingly straightforward and subdued chord progression, a sort of “amen” in a world of confusing musical choices.

Notes by Michael Lewanski. DePaul Concert Orchestra • November 10, 2016

Biography Conductor, educator, and writer Michael Lewanski is a champion of contemporary music and older repertoire alike. His work seeks to create deeper and more engaged connections between audiences, musicians, and the music that is part of their culture and history. He has been on the faculty of the DePaul University School of Music since 2007, where he conducts the Concert Orchestra, Ensemble 20+ (20th century and contemporary music), and works frequently with other ensembles. He is conductor of Ensemble Dal Niente, a Chicago-based new music group.

Michael has guest-conducted Lyric Opera of Chicago, chamber ensembles from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Civic Youth Orchestra, the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), the Chicago Chamber Musicians, the Fifth House Ensemble, and many others. He has led over 100 world premieres. He was the Conducting Assistant for the Civic Orchestra of Chicago from 2010 to 2014. At the 2012 Darmstadt Summer Courses, Ensemble Dal Niente won the prestigious Kranichstein Music Prize under his direction. Michael has an extensive discography as both a conductor and a producer.

A native of Savannah, Georgia, he studied piano and violin; he made his conducting debut at age 13, leading his own composition. At 16, he was the youngest student ever accepted into the conducting class of the legendary Ilya Musin at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Michael subsequently attended Yale University. His post-Yale education featured conducting study with Cliff Colnot and Lucas Vis.

Michael’s schedule for the 2016-2017 concert season includes concerts with DePaul School of Music Ensembles, local and national concerts with Ensemble Dal Niente (the Ear Taxi Festival, a California tour, a return to June in Buffalo), guest conducting engagements throughout the US, recording projects, various festival appearances, and academic presentations and conferences.
