As composers write more and more for a chamber ensemble like the musicians I have worked with to carry out this performance, it becomes more and more idiomatic for conductors like myself to explore their other compositions for orchestra, both small and large. Having performed my recital with musicians from both the within the Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Music core and from the outside, this entire community has helped shaped my studies & my work as a graduate student here at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, bringing it all to a glorious end.

Wie wichtig ist in solchen Wochen das Licht! Es scheint und wärmt vielleicht sogar ein bisschen, am Ende des Tunnels entdeckt, macht es uns Hoffnung. Und nur mit Licht können wir Schönheit sehen. Doch was ist schön? Was klingt schön? Ist das ruhige Schwingen schön, das sich in Richard Wagners „Siegfried-Idyll“ klangsinnlich ausbreitet? Ist es die ungetrübte Fröhlichkeit im Rondo A-Dur von Franz Schubert? Ist es das schwebende Walzer-Kreiseln in Peter Tschaikowskys Streicherserenade? Am Anfang war die Schönheit in der Natur. Betrachten wir zum Beispiel ein makelloses Ei: Kein Weltenschöpfer hat es designt, seine feine Form ist die evolutionäre Folge physikalischer Notwendigkeiten. Das Ei muss mit möglichst wenig Kalk möglichst stabil sein. Ähnlich effektiv wie Hühner ihre Eier legen, spinnen Spinnen ihre Netze. Welche schönen, regelmäßig- unregelmäßigen Strukturen sind da zu entdecken! Vor allem, wenn Tau im Gegenlicht an einem Spinnennetz perlt. Welche Klarheit in der Viel- falt! Oder die Haut von Schlangen; die Farben von Gefiedern; die Facetten eines Insektenauges! Schön wird in der Natur oft das, was nützlich ist.

PROGRAM NOTES Richard Wagner
PROGRAM NOTES Richard Wagner - Siegfried Idyll Richard Wagner Born May 22, 1813, Leipzig, Germany. Died February 13, 1883, Venice, Italy. Siegfried Idyll Although Cosima Wagner was born on December 24, she chose to celebrate her birthday on the twenty-fifth. Her diary entry for Sunday, December 25, 1870, reads: When I woke up I heard a sound, it grew ever louder, I could no longer imagine myself in a dream, music was sounding, and what music! After it had died away, R. came in to me with the five children and put into my hands the score of his "symphonic birthday greeting." I was in tears, but so, too, was the whole household; R. had set up his orchestra on the stairs and thus consecrated our Tribschen forever! The Tribschen Idyll —so the work is called . R. is her beloved Richard, and two of the five children are Cosima's from her previous marriage to Hans von Bülow, whom she abruptly left for the man that even Hans, a talented pianist and conductor, admitted to be his superior in the world of music. The other three are five-year-old Isolde; Eva, three; and Siegfried, eighteen months—Cosima and Richard Wagner's children, all born before their marriage on August 25, 1870. Tribschen is the name of the house on a promontory overlooking Lake Lucerne, where Cosima and Richard made their home. Tribschen Idyll is, of course, the Siegfried Idyll —though it wasn't given that name for many years, after the Wagners elected to publish their private musical communication in exchange for a nice sum of money.

Form in Richard Wagner's Siegfried Idyll
ABSTRACT MATTHEW BOYLE Sonata Reinvented: Form in Richard Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll (Under the Direction of DR. ADRIAN CHILDS) In the middle of the 19th century a crisis in the development of symphonic music occurred. How should pieces interact with the masterworks from the early part of the century strongly identified with Beethoven? Should composers conform to the conventional norms of Formenlehre, or was each piece to seize its own form? Perhaps the most important response to the crisis is to be found in Franz Liszt’s body of 13 symphonic poems and 2 programmatic symphonies, and also in Richard Wagner’s domestic tone poem, the Siegfried Idyll. The triumphs and failures of Liszt’s and Wagner’s experiments in a new type of symphonic music ultimately served as models to the highly individualized forms and compositions of early modernists, including Richard Strauss’s tone poems and Gustav Mahler and Jean Sibelius’s symphonies. Works of this later generation have recently been examined by James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy, who have peered into how these works interact with processes of sonata deformation, rotational form, and interactions with their notion of “sonata theory.” The purpose of this paper will be to devise a formal analysis of the Siegfried Idyll, which attempts to link the piece’s formal aspects with the symphonic poem compositional style and the common deformational options of the later 19th century.

From around 1944 until its adoption of magnetic tape late in 1949, RCA Victor recorded on two Great Conductors • Koussevitzky ADD master formats: direct to 78-rpm wax matrices for commercial issue and to lacquer backup discs recorded at 33 1/3 rpm. The latter method was able to capture a wider frequency range than wax, and provided a backup for dubbing purposes in case something went wrong with the 78 masters. As new vinyl media supplanted shellac for record releases, the lacquers offered a quieter source from which to prepare transfers. When American Columbia released the first modern LP records in 1948, RCA, unwilling at first to pay the Also available licensing fees, countered with the 45 rpm disc. They eventually bowed to the inevitable in 1950; but during and after this interim period, there seemed to be no general rule as to the format on which a recording would be issued. For example, the Flying Dutchman Overture and the Prelude to Act 1 of Parsifal were both recorded at the same session; yet, the former was issued on a quiet, wide-frequency vinyl 45 rpm disc (as well as 78 rpm shellac) while WAGNER the latter only came out on shellac 78s. Similarly, the Prelude to Act 1 of Lohengrin and the Siegfried Idyll were done at the same session, with the former released on the 45 and 78 rpm formats and the latter on 45 and LP only.

Coastal Symphony of Georgia 2020-21 Concert Season
Coastal Symphony of Georgia 2020-21 Concert Season Michelle Merrill, Music Director and Conductor Brunswick High School Auditorium Monday, November 9, 2020 8:00 p.m. Coriolan Overture Ludwig von Beethoven Siegfried Idyll Richard Wagner Intermission Symphony No. 3 Ludwig von Beethoven Our second concert of the season opens and closes with the genius of Beethoven, as part of the global celebration of his 250th birthday. (December 17, 1770–December 17, 2020) Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture depicts a Roman leader’s transition from brutality to tenderness by capturing the moods of the story of Gaius Marcius Coriolanus rather than its narrative. A main C minor theme represents Coriolanus’ resolve and war-like tendencies as he is about to invade Rome. A more tender E-flat major theme reflects the pleadings of his mother to desist. An explosive beginning gives way to lighter winds, but there is a continuing sense of underlying urgency as it moves to a pastoral feeling, ending quietly as the troubled Coriolanus takes his own life. A mother and son theme also informs the second piece on the program in Richard Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll. Originally titled The Tribschen Idyll, the symphonic poem presented in sonata form celebrates private joys, domestic bliss, and the birth of a son, Siegfried. Wagner presented it to his wife Cosima as a birthday present on December 25, 1870, gathering a small ensemble on the stairs of their home, Tribschen, on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. He later arranged the piece for full orchestra and retitled it Siegfried Idyll. This work is considered the most personal of all his compositions and has been described as a sumptuous piece of music that expresses his paternal and romantic love.
