Capstan Financial Consulting Group is separate entity from WFAFN. 2 Welcome Message The famous quote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” from Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, are words often in my mind, whether I am standing at the precipice of a great climb or opening the pages of a masterwork for the first time. Both endeavors require an enormous amount of preparation and planning – thousands of steps – until you stand at the summit or enjoy an enthusiastic standing ovation. For the past 10 years, I have enjoyed the privilege of leading Key Chorale as its Artistic Director while also honing my skills as a technical mountaineer. I’ve been fortunate to summit many iconic peaks: The Matterhorn (14,692’), Mont Rainier (14,411’), Grand Teton (13,770’), Cathedral Peak (10,911’) in Yosemite’s Tuolumne Meadows, Canada’s Mount Sir Donald and Bugaboo Spire, and Mont Blanc (15,782’) the highest mountain in the Alps. I have also had many “Peak Performances” with Key Chorale, with everything from commissions and world premieres, to Cirque des Voix®, European concert tours, unique collaborations, and plenty of Bach, Beethoven and Handel to fill my soul to overflowing. Each of these accomplishments began with a single step, a sense of faith in myself and those around me. Great art does not exist without those willing to create, and those willing to appreciate its beauty. I like to believe these 10 years have been a journey we have taken together. We have been able to share so many “Peak Performances,” and for that I am truly grateful. Often, when I stand atop a summit, I enjoy gazing at the many peaks spread before me, scanning the horizons for mountains I have climbed and those that remain. For me, this anniversary season is like that, full of gratitude for the many peaks that have been scaled, but an excitement for the adventures and peaks that lie ahead. — Joseph Caulkins 3 Board of Directors Lee Holden, President Joel Morrison, Vice President Nancy Morris, Treasurer Nancy Yost Olson, Secretary Aida Coleman Claire Collins Glenn Darling Judy Egan Richard Lilley Matthew Mayper Lorraine Murphy From The Executive Director Judy Plerhoples Kay Semrod Artistic Team Joseph Caulkins, Artistic Director Stephen Fancher, Associate Conductor Nancy Yost Olson, Accompanist Administrative Team M. Catherine Vernon, Executive Director Donna De Poalo, External Relations Manager Kay Semrod, Grants Administrator Madison Spahn, Administrative Coordinator Joseph Waldron, Artistic Administrator 4 A Message from our Board President “Life seems to go on without effort when I am filled with music.” – George Eliot In his 10th anniversary, Maestro Joseph Caulkins continues to hold the baton, striving for Peak Performances. As Joe was quoted in a recent article, “I choose works that are challenging, both for me and for the singers and instrumentalists. That’s where great live music lives.” This is our core reason for existence. Key Chorale is doing so much more! Key Chorale, with our wide network comprised of 110 singers and their households, provides collegial connections among professionals and auditioned singers. Our singers also participate in other arts including orchestras, operas, choirs, theatres and other professional ensembles. And, they are also doctors, assemblers, retirees, teachers and home health care workers who interface with many other groups. We base our community engagement on a belief of shared learning — we learn with other groups what can make life better for our wider community. Joe says “If the opportunity exists, I’ll choose adventure first.” – Lee Holden, Board President “Where words leave off, music begins.” – Heinrich Heine From The Executive Director It is an honor to serve as Executive Director of Key Chorale during this important 2016-17 season celebrating Maestro Joseph Caulkins tenth anniversary as Artistic Director. What amazing programs and events we have been able to plan in his honor! Our Maestro has achieved so many artistic accomplishments with the chorale, it is an easy story to celebrate. Whether climbing the highest peaks, or inspiring Key Chorale to move higher in its goals and artistic levels, Maestro Caulkins is a man of many talents. Over the past ten years he has endowed Key Chorale with wonderful energy and performance quality, creating beautiful soaring sounds with the 100 voices of Key Chorale and the incomparable Key Chorale Orchestra. We thank and congratulate our Maestro for these past ten years of artistic leadership. We are thankful as well for our concert patrons, and look forward to having you with us throughout this season of special programming. Each masterworks concert is accompanied by full orchestra, with soloists traveling in from near and far to sing under our Maestro’s baton. You won’t want to miss a single note of this season’s inspiring sounds! – Catherine Vernon, Executive Director 5 Season Sponsors Cordelia Lee Beattie Foundation s Scan the Code with a QR Reader App and Take our Audience Survey Or visit www.keychorale.org/survey to complete the survey at home. 6 TITLE PAGE Season Sponsors Mozart with Mary Wilson Saturday, February 11, 2017 Season Sponsor, Ernest and Alisa Kretzmer Charitable Foundation of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation Concert Co-Producer, Irwin E.

His work alongside pops legend Erich Kunzel, conducting icon Dale Warland, and master technician Helmuth Rilling at the Oregon Bach Festival, have shaped him into a sensitive and dynamic conductor. For the past 10 seasons as Artistic Director, Joseph Caulkins has consistently delivered innovative concert experiences through adventurous programming, unique collaborations and performances of new and rarely heard works. He has taken audiences to unexpected places including: the world premiere of The Lake Isle by Ola Gjeilo; a dramatic performance of Richard Einhorn’s dynamic oratorio, Voices of Light, written to accompany Carl Dreyer’s 1928 silent film classic The Passion of Joan of Arc, a collaboration with the Sarasota Opera and the Sarasota Film Society; an innovative program titled Mozart Meets Radiohead with edgy string quintet Sybarite5; the US premiere of James Whitbourn’s Annelies,

Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Geb. Salzburg, 27. January 1756 - Gest
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (geb. Salzburg, 27. January 1756 - gest. Vienna, 5 December 1791) Arien, Duette, Terzette und Quartette mit Begleitung des Orchesters Band 2 Als Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart im Jahre 1777 Mannheim besuchte, verliebte er sich in die Sopranistin Aloysia Weber. Welche Liebesaffäre auch immer sie gehabt haben mochten, sie brach entzwei, und der Komponist heiratete schliesslich deren Schwester Constanze. Trotz ihrer Differenzen schrieb Mozart einige Stücke für Aloysia. 1783 präsentierte er sie mit dem Rondo Ah non sai qual pena sia il doverti (K416), das gedacht war, in Pasquale Anfossis Oper Zemira verwendet zu werden. Als sie ein zweites Mal in einer Anfossi - Oper auftrat, nämlich Il curioso indiscreto, gab ihr Mozart wiederum zwei neue Stücke zu singen: Vorrei spiegarvi (K418), das grosse Tonsprünge von mehr als einer Oktave enthielt, und No, no, che non sei (K419), das der Musik für die Königin der Nacht in seiner Zauberflöte ähnelt. Schenkt man zeitgenössischen Berichten Glauben, so hielt Mozart Anfossis Oper für misslungen - ausser der Musik, die er selbst dazu beitrug. Einige Jahre später schrieb er eine weitere Arie für Aloysia, Ah sei in ciel benigne stelle (K538), zu einem Text aus Pietro Metastasios opera L'eroe Cinese. Nancy Storace war die englische Sopranistin italienischer Herkunft, die die Rolle der Susanna in Die Hochzeit des Figaro schuf. Höchstwahrscheinlich verfügte sie über einen enormen Tonumfang mit starken Tönen in der Höhe und Tiefe, denn genau das war es, was die Rolle erforderte. Nehme hier und da einige Schnitte vor, so ist sie so lang wie die von Wagners Isolde. So musste Storace auch über eine beachtliche Kondition verfügen.

  • Hidalgos, Duchesse E Mariti Curiosi. Peripezie Del Quijote Nell'opera
    Hidalgos, duchesse e mariti curiosi. Peripezie del Quijote nell’opera italiana del Settecento Anna Laura BELLINA Università di Padova Riassunto Questa nota riguarda la fortuna del romanzo di Cervantes nell’opera in lingua italiana, a partire dal Don Chisciotte in Sierra Morena del 1719, promosso da Carlo VI d’Asburgo dopo la guerra di successione spagnola. La riflessione si conclude con gli anni ’90 del Settecento e con il crollo definitivo dell’Antico Regime. Tralasciando volutamente gli altri riferimenti musicali, vocali o strumentali, popolari o colti, per questo lasso di tempo sono state prese in considerazione le pièces collegate al Quijote nei diversi generi spettacolari, cantati a corte o nei teatri a pagamento: tragicommedia, intermezzo, divertimento, commedia napoletana, dramma serioridicolo o giocoso. Alcune tabelle allegate rendono conto delle riprese e del successo europeo di ciascun titolo dopo la prima rappresentazione. Parole chiave: Quijote, Chisciotte, Settecento, opera italiana, intermezzo, commedia napoletana per musica, dramma giocoso. Abstract This note is about the transmission of Cervantes’ novel in Italian language opera, from the Don Chisciotte in Sierra Morena of 1719, encouraged by Charles VI of Hapsburg after the Spanish war of succession. The study ends with the Nineties of the Eighteenth Century and with the final collapse of the Ancient Regime. Intentionally passing by other musical, vocal or instrumental references, popular as well as cultured, we have considered for this lapse of time the pièces linked to the Quijote in different genres, sung at court or in theatres for payment: tragicomedy, intermezzo, divertimento, Neapolitan comedy, drama serioridicolo or giocoso. Some appended tables show the reprises and the European success of each title after the première.

It was actually received far better when it was presented in Prague later that year, and was not performed in Vienna at all in 1787 or 1788. When it was eventually revived there, in August 1789, the role of Susanna was sung by Adriana Gabrieli, who six months later was to create the role of Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte. In place of Susanna’s two original arias Mozart wrote Gabrieli two new ones: firstly the noble “Al desio, di chi t’adora” to replace “Deh vieni, non tardar” in the final act, and then this delightful little arietta in place of Susanna’s Act Two aria “Venite inginocchiatevi”.

  • Program Notes by Dr. William Runyan
    Program Notes by Dr. William Runyan Masterpiece Concert 2, October 24, 2015 Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F Major BWV 1047—J.S. Bach One of the signal achievements of the music of the Baroque era was inauguration of the concerto. The fundamental principle of the genre is the contrasting of a soloist, a group of soloists, or even two or more groups of musicians with each other during the course of a composition. Almost every significant composer of the time composed them, but none reached the zenith of achievement in the genre as did J. S. Bach in his six Brandenburg Concertos late in the style period. From 1717 until 1723 he was in the employ of Prince Leopold of Cöthen, a small court in eastern Germany. The Brandenburg Concertos stem from this time: the full score in Bach’s hand bears the date of 24 March 1721, but it is probable that simply marks the completion of the set; he certainly had been working on them over a period of time. They bear the title “Brandenburg Concertos” owing to their dedication to the Margrave of Brandenburg, Christian Ludwig. Bach had played before him earlier in Berlin and the concertos were the result of an invitation to provide some works for the Margrave. Nothing came of it—no money, no thanks, not even a by your leave. But the Margrave’s loss is posterity’s gain. Bach’s soaring imagination comes to the fore in the Brandenburg Concertos in many ways, not the least of which is his striking use of a variety of instruments in various combinations.
