From the palaces f of ancient Egypt to the concert halls of our modern cities, the wondrous music of the harp has compelled attention from all peoples and all countries. Through this passage of time many changes have been made mm in the original design. The //.' w¥ ear^y instruments shown in y drawings on the tomb of m Rameses II (1292-1225 B.C.) were richly decorated but mm lacked the fore-pillar. Later the "Kinner" developed by the Sr Hebrews took the form as we |Jr know it today. The pedal harp ||F was invented about 1720 by a Wr Bavarian named Hochbrucker and mm through this ingenious device it be- W came possible to play in eight major f and five minor scales complete. Today the harp is an important and familiar instrument providing the "Exquisite Sound" and special effects so important to modern orchestration and arrange- ment.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D Major
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Gustav Mahler Born July 7, 1860, Kalischt, Bohemia. Died May 18, 1911, Vienna, Austria. Symphony No. 1 in D Major Mahler did most of the work on his First Symphony in February and March of 1888, incorporating music that had been written much earlier. He revised the score on several occasions. The first performance was given on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, with the composer conducting. The score calls for four flutes and three piccolos, four oboes and english horn, four clarinets, two E-flat clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, seven horns, four trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately fifty-seven minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Mahler's First Symphony were given at Orchestra Hall on November 6 and 7, 1914, with Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on April 5, 6, 7, and 10, 2007, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting. The Orchestra first performed this symphony at the Ravinia Festival on July 19, 1949, with William Steinberg conducting, and most recently on June 24, 2005, with James Conlon conducting. When Alma Schindler first met Gustav Mahler, whom she later married, she could only remember how much she had disliked his First Symphony. She wasn't alone. The history of this symphony, even into relatively recent times, is one of misunderstanding and rejection. The first performance, in Budapest in 1889, was greeted with indifference, bewilderment, and, in the words of the local critic, "a small, but, for all that, audible element of opposition." Mahler seldom understood the animosity his music aroused.

    FRIDAY -SATURDAY 17 NINETY-FIRST SEASON 1971-1972 ADIVARI created for all time a perfect marriage of precision and beauty for both the eye and the ear. He had the unique genius to combine a thorough knowledge of the acoustical values of wood with a fine artist's sense of the good and the beautiful. Unexcelled by anything before or after, his violins have such purity of tone, they are said to speak with the voice of a lovely soul within. In business, as in the arts, experience and ability are invaluable.
