Neal’s Notes Music for Use

20th-century German composer Paul Hindemith The Best of John Williams, Episode 3 was a champion of what theorists called (March 15 and 16) Gebrauchmusik—“music for use”. The idea was I’ve written before about John Williams’ place that in between “popular music” for fun and in the pantheon of film composers (right at the entertainment and “serious music” for spiritual top) and how his orchestral movie scores have uplift and artistic posterity there was a third created a new audience for classical music (even category of music that existed simply to serve a if the popcorn-munching, full-reclining soda- practical function. slurpers don’t always realize they’re listening to classical music). For Hindemith, that often meant writing accessible pieces for string quartet so that I’m thinking more broadly about movie music amateur or avocational players could have good- and how it, too, is music for use. Think of perhaps but-not-too-difficult pieces to play. If I were the most famous film music cue of all time: in a charitable mood I’d lump Muzak in the the repeated short string glissandos Bernard music-for-use category, since it’s created not for Herrmann wrote for the shower scene in Psycho. entertainment or uplift, but to improve worker Pure music for use. Play the music without the film productivity and retail sales. and it makes no sense. But play the film without the music and it makes no sense!

And when the killing’s done, Herrmann Where all the clowns go running this way and switches to dark, low syncopated chords that that.

25 The s e c o n d month of the “Made in A m e r i c a Festival” of the Dayton P h i l h a r - monic was a concert of works as A m e r i c a n as apple pie. Amer- ican musical icons Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland shared the stage of the Schuster with Dayton’s premiere composer Steven Winteregg. Winteregg, commissioned by the Philharmonic to write a “serious piece,” chose the most somber of themes, the battle with cancer. Dedicated to his lovely wife Candy and her treatment and survival from breast cancer, the music was compelling but far from glum. Winteregg has an ability with melodic line and intricate rhythms making his music persuasive and delightful. We are fortunate in Dayton to have heard his music from the Philharmonic and Dayton Ballet. Resolution, beautifully played by the musicians of the Philharmonic was full of energy and emotion. There were, perhaps a few too many percussion interrup- t i o n s with the musical line, but the total effect was well received. Bernstein’s Serenade after Plato’s Symposium was a first hearing for the audience. I was certain that the piece would be like several other of Bernstein’s classical works, a wandering opus lacking the focus of his lighter compositions. After hearing Serenade, I owe “Lennie” a profound apology. The work was conceived to be an exposition of Plato’s familiar student assignment, The Symposium. It is remembered as a wine-sodden discussion on the various phases of love by convivial philosophers. Serenade succeeded, not as philosophic guide, but as a stunning piece of music, a violin sonata with orchestral accompaniment. Each of the five parts was full of musical nuances and expressions. Each of these nuances and expressions was presented to perfection by young violinist Philippe Quint and the master musicians of the Philharmonic. Included was a remarkable double cadenza by Quint and Principal Cellist Christina Coletta.. Quint, a The Oakwood Register Applauding The Arts Weekly with Burt Saidel

26 27 28 Magic Carpet Concerts

From the moment the children walk into the Masonic Center, there are “ooo’s” and “ahh’s” and comments about the “castle” that they must be visiting today. They walk through the heavy oak doors and are immediately transfixed by the instruments almost within “touching distance.” Musicians warm up with scales and snippets from the concert as the children wait eagerly for the concert to begin.

As the performance progresses, the children interact with the music as only children do. They move, they conduct, and they sing along as the DPO’s Associate Conductor, Patrick Reynolds, takes them on a journey through music.

Each year, over 6,000 students aged 3 to 9 join the Dayton Philharmonic for our Magic Carpet Concerts at the Masonic Center. Magic Carpet Concerts are designed specifically for these ages in mind; there is a lot of laughter and audience participation as children are introduced to a full symphony orchestra…often for the first time! This series began in 1988, and each year, the Philharmonic presents eight Magic Carpet Concerts.

This year’s concert, “The Frog Prince,” is centered on the work of local composer Steven Winteregg. Winteregg’s adaptation of the famous fairytale will also feature a narrator, dancers from Dayton Ballet II, and singers from the Dayton Opera. This program is sure to capture the imaginations of our littlest audience members. Children and adults alike leave these concerts with bright smiles and cheerful waves to the conductor and musicians!

Concert Dates Magic Carpet Concerts March 5, 6, 7, 8, 9:45 am and 11:15 am | Masonic Center

Magic Carpet Concerts are made possible through generous contributions from Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Hone, The Troy Foundation, and Vectren.
