  • RFO Geschiedenis 1993
    RFO Geschiedenis 1993 Ombuiging en reorganisatie Minister d’Ancona van WVC (foto) presenteerde op 19 februari 1993 haar plannen aan de Tweede Kamer met betrekking tot de Nederlandse orkesten en de opera. Zij stelde voor om niet de door NOS/NOB voorgestelde 10 miljoen, maar de door haar eerder gevraagde 5 miljoen te bezuinigen op het budget van het MCO. Het Muziekcentrum van het NOB kreeg bovendien een jarenlange garantie voor het resterende budget van 52,5 miljoen gulden per jaar, verzelfstandiging van het Muziekcentrum in een stichting, een verbeterde huisvesting en een organisatorisch en artistiek verantwoorder relatie met Radio 4. Artistiek directeur en chef-dirigent Edo de Waart was onder de omstandigheden nog redelijk tevreden over het ministeriële besluit: “Inleveren en inkrimpen doet altijd pijn, maar er is geen sprake van collectief ontslag. De musici kunnen zich de komende jaren volledig concentreren op de muziek en voor het eerst kan een meerjarenbeleid ook werkelijk worden uitgevoerd.” Op 24 maart 1993 ging de Tweede Kamer akkoord met het plan van de minister. Vanaf 1 januari 1994 zou de ombuiging tot stand komen via een ingrijpende efficiency-operatie. Binnen vijf jaar moest een geleidelijke uitbreiding van het RFO van 98 naar 108 formatieplaatsen plaatsvinden, alsmede een inkrimping van het Radio Symfonie Orkest naar 84 musici. Met deze reorganisatie moest de omlegging van 5 miljoen uit het MCO-budget ten gunste van het CoBo-Fonds t.b.v. filmproducties worden gerealiseerd. Rob Overman wordt de nieuwe manager van het RFO “Ik ben een terrier”, introduceerde drs. Rob Overman zichzelf in het eerste nummer van RFO-Informeel, het blad van en voor leden van het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest (dat in november 1992 zou verschijnen).

  • Breathtaking-Program-Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES In the 16th and 17th centuries, the cornetto was fabled for its remarkable ability to imitate the human voice. This concert is a celebration of the affinity of the cornetto and the human voice—an exploration of how they combine, converse, and complement each other, whether responding in the manner of a dialogue, or entwining as two equal partners in a musical texture. The cornetto’s bright timbre, its agility, expressive range, dynamic flexibility, and its affinity for crisp articulation seem to mimic a player speaking through his instrument. Our program, which puts voice and cornetto center stage, is called “breathtaking” because both of them make music with the breath, and because we hope the uncanny imitation will take the listener’s breath away. The Bolognese organist Maurizio Cazzati was an important, though controversial and sometimes polemical, figure in the musical life of his city. When he was appointed to the post of maestro di cappella at the basilica of San Petronio in the 1650s, he undertook a sweeping and brutal reform of the chapel, firing en masse all of the cornettists and trombonists, many of whom had given thirty or forty years of faithful service, and replacing them with violinists and cellists. He was able, however, to attract excellent singers as well as string players to the basilica. His Regina coeli, from a collection of Marian antiphons published in 1667, alternates arioso-like sections with expressive accompanied recitatives, and demonstrates a virtuosity of vocal writing that is nearly instrumental in character. We could almost say that the imitation of the voice by the cornetto and the violin alternates with an imitation of instruments by the voice.

  • Paul O'dette Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES Known to his contemporaries as “The English Orpheus,” John Dowland was the most celebrated lutenist of his time and one of England’s greatest composers. His music was extraordinarily popular throughout Europe and was published in more cities than any other composer of the time. The celebrated Lachrimae Pavin alone survives in over 100 different versions. Nevertheless, Dowland’s career was filled with shattered dreams and frustrations, resulting in his adoption of the motto “Semper Dowland semper dolens” (Always Dowland, always sorrowing). The intense melancholy that pervades much of his music is a personal expression of the bitterness he felt due to the lack of a royal appointment and the dearth of respect shown him by younger players. At the same time, the modern preoccupation with Dowland’s melancholy creates a one-sided impression of a multi-faceted personality. Though his doleful works are justly famous, Dowland’s lively pieces, particularly his galliards and jigs, evoke a humor and wit unmatched by any of his contemporaries. Tonight's program includes some of his least frequently performed pieces alongside some of his most famous works. Dowland’s life unfolded as a colorful series of restless moves and wanderings. He had converted to Catholicism during his late teens while serving the English ambassador in Paris, and he contended until the end of his life that this conversion was the cause of his exclusion from Queen Elizabeth’s court. But it seems possible that his volatile temperament and outspokenness may have played an equal role. After his six-year sojourn in France and his return to England in 1586, he studied and worked in his native country until 1595.

The libretto is based on biblical stories of the wise King Solomon. The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon in the third act. “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” was originally scored for flutes, violins, violas, cellos, and basses. “Abstract and Dance” is a kind of rendered piece. The first movement develops in the direction of twelve tone music which suddenly changes into a stylized Spanish dance in the second part. Born in Delft, Gijs van Dijk studied composition and music theory with Tristan Keuris at the Hilversum and Utrecht Conservatory. He works as a composer, an improvising musician, a classical & jazz guitar player and teacher in Amsterdam.
