Esther Renee Rayo • May 7, 2017 PROGRAM NOTES George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) “Lascia la spina” from Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Desinganno, ​ HWV 46a (1707) Duration: 6 minutes George Frideric Handel, German born English composer of the late Baroque period is noted particularly for his operas, oratorios and instrumental compositions. HWV 46a was published in 1707 as Handel’s first Oratorio, and was later revised and reproduced three different times across the fifty years of his career. Pleasure’s aria “Lascia la spina” (Leave the thorn) is the work’s most popular aria, and might sound familiar as Handel recycled this melody many times, which was a common practice for composers of this period. Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Desinganno, (The Triumph of Time and ​ ​ Disillusionment) revolves around a competition between Beauty, Pleasure, Time and Disillusionment, as we are all young and carefree for only a short time, then comes age and inevitable death. George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) “V’adoro Pupille” from Giulio Cesare, HWV 17 (1724) ​ ​ Duration: 5 minutes One of Handel’s most celebrated and often performed operas is his 1724 Giulio Cesare, HWV 17. This opera seria in three acts was composed for the ​ Royal Academy of Music, and was set to the libretto of Nicola Francesco Haym. Having composed eight arias and two accompanied recitatives for his Cleopatra, Handel provides her character ample opportunity to portray her jestful personality, charm, passion and pursuit. In pursuit of sole reign over Egypt, Cleopatra will stop at nothing to defeat her brother Tolomeo for the throne. Seeking the help of Cesare, in her chambers and disguised as ‘Lidia,’ Cleopatra uses her charms to seduce Caesar with song. In her aria “V’adoro Pupille”, Cleopatra praises the darts of Cupid that pierce her sad heart, which at every hour, recounts that Cesare is her dearly beloved, and she simply cannot help but fall in love with him. Esther Renee Rayo • May 7, 2017 Program Notes George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) “Piangerò la sorte mia” from Giulio Cesare, HWV 17 (1724) ​ ​ Duration: 6 minutes When Cleopatra’s brother attempts to assassinate Caesar, word gets back to Cleopatra that Cesare has drowned, leading us into Cleopatra's dramatic lament of sudden loss of love and power in “Piangerò la sorte mia”. However, Cesare is not dead. Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Der Hirt auf dem Felsen, D. 965 (1828) Duration: 13 minutes German composer Franz Schubert is known for his ability not only as a pianist, but also as a composer of German lieder (art songs). Having only lived to the age of 31, he managed to compose over 600 lieds throughout his lifetime, in addition to symphonies, operas, chamber and piano works. "Der Hirt auf dem Felsen" (The Shepherd on the Rock) is a chamber work for soprano voice, clarinet, and piano, based on texts by the German poet Wilhelm Müller. This is Schubert’s only solo voice composition written for a second instrument, setting it apart from his other lieder. In 1828, during the final months of his life, Schubert wrote this piece for operatic soprano Pauline Anna Milder-Hauptmann, upon her request for a brilliant concert aria which would allow her to express a wide range of feelings. As a result, this piece is more like an operatic aria than it is an art song. Through its multi-sectional, cantata-like character, the first section is warm as a young shepherd boy stands in the hills, calling out to his love and hearing his voice return back to him through the valleys. The second section turns melancholic as the shepherd boy laments his grief and loneliness, which then leads into the last section of hopefulness for Spring and with it, new beginnings. Esther Renee Rayo • May 7, 2017 Program Notes Fernando Obradors (1897-1945) Canciones clásicas españolas Duration: 7 minutes Spanish born Fernando Obradors is a 20th century composer of zarzuelas, symphonic works, and most significantly, Canciones clásicas españolas, four ​ ​ volumes of song arrangements for voice and piano. These songs have been ​ ​ favored and performed by nearly all Spanish divas, leading to the songs’ growth in popularity worldwide, and to Obradors’ chief claim to fame. Obradors' songs are internationally loved and performed because they are the epitome of the popular conception of Spanish style. Composed from folk songs and tonadilla, his arrangements include folk songs from various ​ ​ regions of Spain, each being treated with a personal manner that draws on all the most typical aspects of Spanish music. His texts are drawn from popular songs of the 18th and 19th centuries, and also from literature dating back to as early as the 15th century. “La mi sola, Laureola” is a ‘solmization villancico’, a type of old Spanish song where the words correspond to the solfege syllables of the musical scale. Derived from the 16th century, “my only Laureola,” says the captivated Leriano, “although my pride is wounded by thy hand, it is the only hand in the world for me!”. “Al Amor” is originally a work of Cristobal de Castillejo, a 17th century composer and poet who strongly defended the Spanish style of verse against the Italian style. Writing three volumes of poetry, this poem comes from the volume specifically written about love. “Give me a thousand kisses and hundreds more, and so no one may know, let’s forget the count and start all over again!” “Con amores, la mi madre” is a traditional spanish lullaby with a melancholic tone, addressing her mother as she reminisces about a past love. “Del cabello mas sutil” is a setting of an authentic folk song, where a young lover wishes to make a chain out of their lover’s hair, to draw them near, and wishes to be a jug so that every time the lover took a drink, they could be one. Esther Renee Rayo • May 7, 2017 Program Notes George Gershwin (1898-1937) “Someone to watch over me” from Oh, Kay! (1926) ​ ​ Duration: 5 minutes American composer George Gershwin wrote hundreds of popular songs throughout his life, alongside his brother, Ira. Having studied classical music as a young man, Gershwin developed into a composer with an innate ability to write a melody loved by all. “Someone to watch over me” is a song from the 1926 musical Oh, Kay!, ​ ​ based on the play La Presidente by Maurice Hanniquin and Pierre Veber. The ​ ​ plot revolves around the adventures of the Duke of Durham and his sister, Lady Kay, English bootleggers during the American Prohibition Era. Gershwin had originally written this song as an uptempo jazz tune, but Ira suggested that it might be better served as a ballad, and George agreed. This selection remains very popular in the jazz standard repertoire and American Songbook. “Summertime” from Porgy and Bess (1934) ​ ​ Duration: 5 minutes After successfully tackling the forms of the rhapsody, concerto, and overture, Gershwin began thinking of writing an opera, and decided for it to be on a play he had seen, entitled "Porgy" by DuBose Heyward. The American flavor of this play, and the poignant story of the love of Bess for the crippled Porgy was the ideal subject for a "native" American folk opera. Before writing Porgy and Bess, Gershwin lived for several weeks with the ​ ​ Gullah Negroes on the waterfront in Charleston, South Carolina, the location of the story. It took him nearly eleven months to put his work down on paper, and an additional nine to complete the orchestration. "Summertime", one the most famous arias in American repertoire, is only to be expected from a born song writer. Sung by the character of Clara, this operatic lullaby is noted for its slow, churning, bluesy groove, New York jazz tunes and southern black spiritual traditions. Esther Renee Rayo • May 7, 2017 Program Notes Leonard Bernstein (1819-1990) “Dream with me” from Peter Pan (1950) ​ ​ Duration: 4 minutes Peter Pan is a 1950 musical adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s play Peter Pan, or The ​ ​ ​ ​ Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, with both music and lyrics written by Leonard ​ ​ Bernstein. The production was initially intended as a full blown musical, with a complete score, but many of the musical selections (including “Dream with me” and about 45 minutes worth of music) were cut to accommodate the limited vocal ranges and abilities of the principles.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

"We are honored to receive this gift which follows a rich collaborative and professional relationship between the Bernstein family and the Jacobs School that began in the early 1970s," said Gwyn Richards, Dean of the Jacobs School of Music. "In a real sense Leonard Bernstein connected with our School and its leadership, and it is thrilling to know that the link with Indiana continues and is strengthened through this remarkable gesture." "My father's artistic and edu­ cational connection with Indiana University was very strong," said Leonard's son, Alexander Bernstein.
