Union Station Portland, Oregon East Morrison St. Station 6 PROGRAM NOTES By FREDERICK W. GOODRICH WEBER ' Overture to "Oberon" In the early days of the history of the opera the German race seemed to have but little aptitude for composition in that line. For the entire period of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the Italians had been complete masters of the field. Even Handel, though by birth a German, had become a disciple of the Italion school; and Gluck, after beginning in the same line, carried on his reforms not in Germany at all but in Paris. Mozart, in his turn, had experimented with a German opera early in his career at the in• stigation of the Empress of Austria, but it was an Eastern, and not a na• tional subject, and after writing it he was driven by force of circumstances to resume the Italian line again, and made only one more attempt at Ger• man opera at the end if his life in the shape of "The Magic Flute". In many respects this opera was characteristically German, although much of the music was anything but Teutonic. Then came Beethoven with "Fi- delio", a work which in many respects was thoroughly German, but still lacked various essentials to make it a complete example of that school. At last Weber comes into the field and puts the final touch to the efforts and aspirations of generations of composers by producing a work which is Ger• man in music and in story; in which the characters are essentially German, and the poetry is infused with such thoughts as are dearest to the German mind. This masterpiece was Der Freischiitz, the success of which placed Weber at once in the forefront of living composers. Weber's success as an exponent of German opera produced for him an invitation from England to write an opera in English for performance at Convent Garden, London. This commission he accepted and in spite of poor health he set to work immediately. The subject chosen was "Oberon", which was made into an opera book by J. R. Planche, who had considerable reputation in England as a writer of theatrical pieces. The first perform• ance of the new opera took place on April 12, 1826. The house was crowded and the audience was completely wrapt in delighted attention throughout. The excitement was too much for the composer's already enfeebled consti• tution and gradually his health took a turn for the worse. He never again returned to his homeland, and died in London on June 5, 1826. His requiem was solemnly chanted in the old Catholic cathedral of St. Mary, Moor- fields, now torn down to make way for business blocks. Through the exer• tions of Richard Wagner his body wTas exhumed in 1844 and solemnly re- interred at Dresden. The overture is scored for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, trombones, drums and the usual strings. The work opens Adagio sosenuto with the horn phrase of three notes echoed by the muted strings and fairy-like notes of flutes and clarinets suggesting Oberon the elf-king with his magic horn and Little Puck, the most devoted servant. The Short introduction, only 22 measures in length, leads to the brilliant first subject announced on the first violins with soft string, brass and drum accompaniment. This subject gradually increases in power and brilliancy and after a recurrence of the horn phrase repeated with fairy• like passages of strings, flutes and clarinets. A beautiful theme enters as a clarinet solo in the middle register of the instrument, accompanied 7 Otto Wedemeyer MARJORIE EDA Exponent of Yeatman Griffith Trotter Baritone Soloist PIANO HARMONY Focal Teacher 408 FINE ARTS BUILDING Choral Director BRoadway 1957 Professional pupils: Louise Jacobsen, Maegly-Tichner Stephen Whitford, Viola Lindquist, Gene• Bids. vieve Atofsky, Helen Trogren Roberts, Helen PORTLAND Hale, Juanita Hughes, Elizabeth Howard OREGON Steinway Piano Everything Musical SEIBERLING-LUCAS MUSIC CO. 151 FOURTH, NEAR MORRISON SEALY DRESSER CO.

This is repeated by the first violins and is immedi• ately followed by the second subject proper, a graceful theme enunciated upon the strings with woodwind and horn accompaniment. The develop• ment is short and full of life, and use is made of the clarinet solo theme heard earlier in the work. The first subject at length reappears and is followed in its turn by the second theme, somewhat modified. A few rapid fully scored measures brings the work to a close. WAGNER "Forest Murmurs" from "Siegfried" "Siegfried", a Music Drama in three acts, is the second opera of the group which make up the Rhinegold Triology. It is considered by many to be the most beautiful of the Ring Cycle, for in it there is little of tragedy and much of lightness and the joy of youth and love. The story tells of the young Siegfried—impetuous, brave, joyful and handsome; and Brunnhilde, the god-like maid—unselfish, innocent, who finds she is but a woman after all. This music is an excerpt from the second act. "Forest Murmurs" or "Waldweben" was arranged by the composer for concert use. The young hero alone, sits down under a tree and meditates about his mother, whom he pictures as gentle and beautiful. His dreaming is ended by the song of the birds, and he regrets that he cannot understand their language. He answers their Song with a blast of his horn, which disturbs Fafner and the Dragon makes an awful roar, which, however, only makes the youth laugh.

Sixty-third Concert of the 107th Season 107th Annual Choral Union Series PROGRAM NOTES by MICHAEL STEINBERG San Francisco Symphony, 1986 Viola Concerto in G major ........................ GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN (1681-1767) The exact date of this concerto is not known; however, it is presumed to have been written for the "Weekly Grand Concerts" that Telemann led for the Gesellschaft Frauenstein, a Frankfurt merchants' association, from M\2 until 1721. This evening, Geraldine Waltherplays cadenzas written for her by Mark Volkert. Not the least interesting thing about Telemann is the history of his reputation. Once routinely dismissed as a scandalously prolific and fairly inconsequential scribbler, he is, just now, the benefi­ ciary of rehabilitation. In the historiography of a generation or so ago, we are likely to find Telemann mentioned in the course of discussions of Bach, often with some sense of outrage that their contemporaries valued Telemann so much more. And he was there is no doubt about it the most successful German composer of his day. As for that difference between himself and (as seems so clear to us) the infinitely greater Bach, it is not like the difference between, say, Dittersdorf and Mozart: two people working the same mine, one immeasurably superior to the other.

  • About the San Francisco Symphony
    THE SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY The San Francisco Symphony (SFS), widely considered to be among the most artistically adventurous and innovative arts institutions in the U.S., celebrated its 20th season with Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT) in the 2014-15 season. The SF Symphony was established by a group of San Francisco citizens, music- lovers, and musicians in the wake of the 1906 earthquake, and played its first concert on December 8, 1911. Almost immediately, it revitalized the City’s cultural life. The San Francisco Symphony has grown in stature and acclaim under a succession of distinguished music directors: American composer Henry Hadley, Alfred Hertz (who led the American premieres of Parsifal, Salome, and Der Rosenkavalier at the Metropolitan Opera), Basil Cameron, Issay Dobrowen, the legendary Pierre Monteux (who introduced the world to Le Sacre du printemps and Petrushka), Enrique Jordá, Josef Krips, Seiji Ozawa, Edo de Waart, Herbert Blomstedt (now Conductor Laureate), and current Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas. The SFS presents more than 220 concerts annually, and reaches an audience of nearly 600,000 in its home of Davies Symphony Hall, through its multifaceted education and community programs, and on national and international tours. Since Tilson Thomas assumed his post as the SFS’s eleventh Music Director in September 1995, he and the San Francisco Symphony have formed a musical partnership hailed as one of the most inspiring and successful in the country. His tenure with the Orchestra has been praised for outstanding musicianship, innovative programming, highlighting the works of American composers, and bringing new audiences to classical music.
