Manu Brazo (Saxophone) and Bryan Evans (Piano) Saturday 24 July, St Mary’s Church 12noon – 1.00pm Manu Brazo (saxophone) and Bryan Evans (piano) A Gershwin Fantasy arr. Ralph Martino George Gershwin (1898-1937) Ralph Martino’s arrangement Gershwin Fantasy was compiled for Dale Underwood and the U.S. Navy band. It opens with ‘Strike Up the Band’ (from the eponymous Musical) and moves on to ‘Summertime’ (Porgy and Bess). Next is ‘Oh, ‘Lady Be Good’, succeeded by an upbeat ‘Fascinating Rhythm’ (both from Lady be Good) and ‘It Ain’t Necessarily So’ (Porgy and Bess). The main theme from Rhapsody in Blue and ‘I’ve Got Rhythm’ (Girl Crazy) bring the set to a riotous close. Studies in English FolK Songs arr. Brazo Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872- 1958) Folksong was a well spring of inspiration for Vaughan Williams, who travelled the English countryside transcribing and recording folk music. Indigenous tunes form the core of his Six Studies in English Folksong, a work originally conceived for cello and piano. Each study is a brief musical elaboration on a chosen folk tune that in no small way demonstrates the composer’s love for the genre. The collection begins with the contemplative ‘Lovely on the water’ and continues with the ‘far away’, ‘Spurn Point’ and ‘Van Diemen’s Land’, this last familiar to church goers as the hymn tune ‘Kingsfold’. The gentle ‘She Borrowed Some of her Mother’s Gold’ is followed by ‘The Lady and the Dragon’, and the set closes with the vigorous ‘As I walked over London Bridge’. ‘La Traviata’ Fantasy, Lovreglio arr. Brazo Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) Such was the vogue for Italian opera during the nineteenth century that countless arrangements were made to satisfy keen followers unable to attend live performances. One such operatic compilation is the Fantasia da Concerto su La Traviata by the Naples-based composer Donato Lovreglio (1841-1907) who fashioned these bravura variations for his clarinettist friend Nicola Dell’Orefice. First performed in 1863, the Fantasy unites themes from Act 1 of Verdi’s opera including the famous drinking song ‘Libiamo ne' lieti calici’, the whole faithful to the character of Verdi’s music. Siete canciones populares Españolas (Seven Spanish Folksongs) Manuel de Falla (1876-1946) One of the most prominent and influential Spanish composers of the 20th century, Manuel de Falla forged a style that drew on his country’s own folk heritage. Dating from 1914, His Siete canciones populares Españolas draw on ancient folk tunes to clothe anonymous texts about everyday life and love. ‘El paño moruno’ (The Moorish cloth) is a lively and sardonic song (from the province of Murcia) in which a haberdasher laments the loss in value to a stained cloth. ‘Seguidilla murciana’ (The Seguidilla of the woman from Murcia) admonishes those who ‘throw stones in glass houses’. ‘Asturiana’ is a lament from the north of Spain and ‘Jota’ (originally from Aragon) conveys a painful but temporary separation of two lovers. ‘Nana’ is an Andalusian lullaby while ‘Cancion’ is a resigned love song and the final ‘Polo’, also from Andalusia, expresses the pains of love. Devil’s Rag Jean Matitia / Christian Lauba (born 1952) In a distinguished career combining composition, conducting and university teaching, Tunisian-born Christian Lauba has an established reputation for his saxophone compositions, writing in a jazz or rag idiom under the pseudonym Jean Matitia. Among many influences is the music of his native North Africa and Japan. The exuberant Devil’s Rag clearly owes its style to ragtime and was written for Federico Mondelici and Arno Bornkamp. Pequeña Czarda Pedro Itturalde (1929-2020) The Spanish child prodigy, Pedro Itturalde was a celebrated saxophonist and composer who forged links between jazz and symphonic music, in particular fusing jazz and flamenco styles. His eclectic compositional approach incorporates folk and classical references and in this he bears kinship with Astor Piazzolla. His Pequeña Czarda (1949) is an early work and its slow - fast traversal, brings ‘under the same roof’ tender rumination and irrepressible chutzpah. Generously sponsored by an anonymous donor .

Molte proposte legate all’anniversario hanno evidenziato un’estrema attenzione ad individuare la presenza del musicista in repertori svariati, magari estranei alla sua diretta produzione, geograficamente disseminati in tutto il mondo e cronologicamente a lui non sempre prossimi. È risultato da tali operazioni un arricchimento della nostra conoscenza, già assai vasta e ramificata, non tanto dell’autore in sé, quanto della sua incidenza e della sua estrema popolarità, da quand’egli era in vita sino ai giorni nostri. Questo cd rientra in questo tipo d’operazione e offre all’ascoltatore l’opportunità, sino ad oggi piuttosto rara, d’incontrare la musica di Verdi attraverso il filtro della rielaborazione cameristica e tutta strumentale per flauto e pianoforte.

  • Manuel De Falla' S Siete Canciones Populares Españolas: the Composer's Personal Library, Folksong Models and the Creative Process.'
    Anuario Musical, vol. 55 (2000) MANUEL DE FALLA' S SIETE CANCIONES POPULARES ESPAÑOLAS: THE COMPOSER'S PERSONAL LIBRARY, FOLKSONG MODELS AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS.' Michael CHRISTOFORIDIS Abstract Manuel de Falla's personal library provides a unique resource for the study of the composer's assimilation of ideas, and his lifelong habit of annotating his reading material and scores heightens the library's usefulness to an understanding of his creative process. Falla's reliance on musical borrowings in his compositions means that a study of the printed scores in his library often gives insights into the sources employed and the development of his musical ideas. The limited extent of Falla's field work in the realm of folk music makes this source even more valuable to discussions of folk-inspired works such as the Siete canciones populares españolas. The provenance of the melodies employed by Falla in that work has been the subject of articles by Manuel Garcia Matos and Josep Crivillé i Bargalló. While indebted to their research, this study argues that in the Siete canciones populares españolas all of Falla's melodic lines and some of the accompaniments are based, to varying degrees, on the assimilation of materials taken from specific publications in his possession. Falla's exposure to and incorporation of folk music in his scores is also examined, and the Siete canciones populares españolas are situated within the creative context of Falla's Parisian milieu. Finally, similarities are drawn between Falla's use of folk sources and the process through which early music was incorporated into his neoclassical scores of the 1920s.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Igor Stravinsky Pulcinella, Ballet in One Act with Song
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Igor Stravinsky Born June 18, 1882, Oranienbaum, Russia. Died April 6, 1971, New York City. Pulcinella, Ballet in One Act with Song Stravinsky began the ballet Pulcinella in the late summer of 1919 and completed it on April 20, 1920. It was premiered on May 15 of that year by the Ballets Russes, at the Paris Opera. The complete score calls for soprano, tenor, and bass soloists, with an orchestra of two flutes, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, trumpet, trombone, tenor and bass trombone, a quintet of solo strings, and orchestral strings. Performance time is approximately forty minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra first performed the suite from Stravinsky's Pulcinella on subscription concerts at Orchestra Hall on July 17 and 18, 1935, with the composer conducting. Stravinsky also conducted the Orchestra's first performance of the complete ballet score on a special concert at Orchestra Hall on April 17, 1965, with Irene Jordan, Nicholas di Virgilio, and Donald Gramm as soloists. The first subscription concert performances of the complete ballet were given on March 8, 9, and 10, 1973, with Bethany Beardslee, Robert Johnson, and Leslie Gunn as soloists and Lukas Foss conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances of the complete ballet were given on February 8, 9, and 10, 1979, with Maria Ewing, Ryland Davies, and Claudio Desderi as soloists and Claudio Abbado conducting. The suite was most recently performed on subscription concerts on November 28, 29, 30, and December 2, 1997, with Pinchas Zukerman conducting. The Orchestra first performed music from Pulcinella at the Ravinia Festival on July 12, 1970, with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting, and most recently on August 13, 1987, with Leon Fleisher conducting.
