Council on the Arts & Humanities a The bestofthe bundi UnionV\feirren Savings Bank Seiji Ozawa Seiji Ozawa became Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1973. He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Hoten, Manchuria in 1935, and studied both Western and Oriental music as a child. He attended Toho School of Music in Tokyo and graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting. Shortly after his graduation, he won first prize at the International Competition of Conducting at Besanc^on, France, and was invited by Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, to spend a summer studying at Tanglewood. In 1964 and for the next five seasons, Mr. Ozawa was Music Director of the Ravinia Festival. At the beginning of the 1965-66 season he became Music Director of the Toronto Symphony, a position he relinquished four seasons later to study and guest conduct. In 1970 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Berkshire Music Festival, and in December of the same year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, titles that he held concurrently with his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony. In the spring of 1976 he resigned his San Francisco position although he remained Honorary Conductor for the 1976-77 season. Mr. Ozawa pursues an active international career and is a regular and favorite guest conductor with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Orchestre de Paris, and at the Salzburg Festival each year. He has conducted at Covent Garden, and returns to Japan annually to conduct the New Japan Philharmonic and other orchestras. The newest items on his large and growing discography with the Boston Symphony, are Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin Suite, and Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste, and Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 (all on Deutsche Grammophon), and Roger Sessions's When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd New World Records).

  • Program Notes Program
    Program Notes Program Notes by April L. Racana 24 Jun Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) Overture to "Candide" It has been said that Leonard Bernstein never approached any work the same way twice, and his score for Candide may very well be the epitome of the extent to which he would go to continually rework and revise his compositions. The opening for this show, which has been dubbed both 24 musical and operetta, came on December 1st, 1956 and was based on Jun Voltaire’s eighteenth-century satire, which had been adapted by author Lillian Helman. The first run of the show only lasted 73 performances, however it didn’t take long for the ‘Overture’ to become an orchestral piece on its own, making its debut performance with the New York Philharmonic in January 1957. Over the next thirty years Bernstein continually revised the entire musical numerous times, with varying success in its many transformations. The ‘Overture’ contains a mixture of tunes from the show, including The Best of All Possible Worlds, Oh Happy We, and Glitter and Be Gay. So closely associated with the New York Philharmonic was Bernstein, and so well-loved was this work, that at a memorial concert following Bernstein’s death in 1990, members of the orchestra performed the ‘Overture’ without a conductor as a tribute to the symphony’s Laureate Conductor. Work composed: 1956 World premiere: 26th January, 1957 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3,trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (snare drum, tenor drum, bass drum, triangle, cymbals, glockenspiel, xylophone), harp, strings 26 Program Notes Program Notes George Gershwin (1898-1937) Rhapsody in Blue Originally titled American Rhapsody, George Gershwin was apparently convinced by his lyricist brother, Ira, that the title needed some re-thinking.

Non c©è un intento filologico, troppo complesso per essere trattato con le mie risorse: vi è invece un intento divulgativo, la volontà di far conoscere i vari aspetti di una parte della nostra cultura. Motivazioni per scrivere note di ringraziamento non mancano. Contributi e suggerimenti sono giunti da ogni dove, vien da dire «dagli Appennini alle Ande». Tutto questo aiuto mi ha dato e mi sta dando entusiasmo per continuare a migliorare e ampliare gli orizzonti di quest©impresa. Ringrazio quindi: chi mi ha dato consigli su grafica e impostazione del sito, chi ha svolto le operazioni di aggiornamento sul portale, tutti coloro che mettono a disposizione testi e materiali che riguardano la lirica, chi ha donato tempo, chi mi ha prestato hardware, chi mette a disposizione software di qualità a prezzi più che contenuti. Infine ringrazio la mia famiglia, per il tempo rubatole e dedicato a questa attività. I titoli vengono scelti in base a una serie di criteri: disponibilità del materiale, data della prima rappresentazione, autori di testi e musiche, importanza del testo nella storia della lirica, difficoltà di reperimento. A questo punto viene ampliata la varietà del materiale, e la sua affidabilità, tramite acquisti, ricerche in biblioteca, su internet, donazione di materiali da parte di appassionati. Il materiale raccolto viene analizzato e messo a confronto: viene eseguita una trascrizione in formato elettronico.

Masoni Advisor: Paolo Fasoli Luigi Pirandello’s first novel, L’Esclusa, written in 1893, but not published in its definitive edition until 1927, straddles two literary worlds: that of the realistic style of the Italian veristi, and something new, a style and approach to narrative that anticipates the theory of writing Pirandello lays out in his long essay L’Umorismo, as well as the kinds of experimental writing that one associates with early-20th-century modernism in general, and with Pirandello’s later work in particular.

  • Part II Repertoire
    125 Part II Repertoire The following is a complete listing of repertoire performed by the orchestra and/or chorus, excluding staged opera performances, and chamber works or art songs performed on MCMA concerts. The list also excludes works performed on programs that did not include either the orchestra or chorus (e.g., works performed by guest choruses). In several “Pops” concerts of the 1960s-80s, the guest artist’s featured works were listed only as “selections” and announced from the stage. It has been impossible to reconstruct some of these programs, so a certain amount of that repertoire has been lost. The repertoire list is organized by composer and cued to the dates of performance. Where possible, arrangers are listed, and cross-referenced to the composers of individual works. Most dates listed represent regular subscription or free concerts from the MCMA or MSO season. The following codes are appended to the date when the work appeared on a non-subscription concert: c = choral programs p = pops programs (1960- ) y = youth concerts (including “Young Peoples’ Concerts, “Fall Youth Concerts,” “Symphony Soup,” and other programs aimed at a young audience (1930- ) f = family neighborhood concerts (1970s) and family concerts (1990s) g = annual Concert on the Green (1996- ) r = runout concerts (outside of Madison) bb = “brown bag” concerts (mid 1970s) s = other special programs (hired concerts, festival programs, etc.) Ade Twentiana / 5/1/93(p) Abert orchestration of “Prelude, Chorale, and Fugue” - Ades see Bach arrangement “Symphonic Portrait of Irving Berlin” - see Berlin Accolay Concerto No.1 for Violin and Orchestra / Albeniz 10/17/89(y) Iberia (“Triana”) / 11/2/52 Jota Aragonesa (orch.
