  • JS BACH (1685-1750): Violin and Oboe Concertos
    BACH 703 - J. S. BACH (1685-1750) : Violin and Oboe Concertos Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21 st , l685, the son of Johann Ambrosius, Court Trumpeter for the Duke of Eisenach and Director of the Musicians of the town of Eisenach in Thuringia. For many years, members of the Bach family throughout Thuringia had held positions such as organists, town instrumentalists, or Cantors, and the family name enjoyed a wide reputation for musical talent. By the year 1703, 18-year-old Johann Sebastian had taken up his first professional position: that of Organist at the small town of Arnstadt. Then, in 1706 he heard that the Organist to the town of Mülhausen had died. He applied for the post and was accepted on very favorable terms. However, a religious controversy arose in Mülhausen between the Orthodox Lutherans, who were lovers of music, and the Pietists, who were strict puritans and distrusted art. So it was that Bach again looked around for more promising possibilities. The Duke of Weimar offered him a post among his Court chamber musicians, and on June 25, 1708, Bach sent in his letter of resignation to the authorities at Mülhausen. The Weimar years were a happy and creative time for Bach…. until in 1717 a feud broke out between the Duke of Weimar at the 'Wilhelmsburg' household and his nephew Ernst August at the 'Rote Schloss’. Added to this, the incumbent Capellmeister died, and Bach was passed over for the post in favor of the late Capellmeister's mediocre son. Bach was bitterly disappointed, for he had lately been doing most of the Capellmeister's work, and had confidently expected to be given the post.

  • Bernard Rands Cello Concerto No. 1
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Bernard Rands Born March 2, 1934, Sheffield, England. Currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts, and Chicago, Illinois. Cello Concerto No. 1 Rands composed this cello concerto in 1996, on a commission from the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the seventieth birthday of Mstislav Rostropovich, to whom it is dedicated. The first performances were given by Rostropovich and the Boston Symphony, with Seiji Ozawa conducting, on April 3, 4, and 5, 1997, at Symphony Hall in Boston. The orchestra consists of three flutes, two alto flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, two harps, piano, timpani, percussion (vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, tubular bells, bongos, triangle, medium and large tam-tams, bass drum, almglocken), and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-seven minutes. Concertos are often written for a particular performer. Sometimes that player is the composer himself, writing for his own instrument—Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Brahms, Bartók, and Stravinsky, for example, all composed piano concertos which they introduced themselves. Many concertos were written for virtuoso soloists—Brahms’s Violin Concerto was composed for Joseph Joachim and Elgar’s for Fritz Kreisler; Copland’s Clarinet Concerto was designed with Benny Goodman in mind; Ravel’s Left-Hand Piano Concerto was written on a commission from Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War I. Like Britten’s Symphony for Cello and Orchestra and Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto, this cello concerto by Bernard Rands was composed for Mstislav Rostropovich, one of the most formidable performers of our time.

MULTI-LAYERED CONSTRUCTION OF ELLIOTT CARTER’S VIOLIN CONCERTO, FIRST MOVEMENT, AND IMMERSED IN AN ETHEREAL BLUE LIGHT FOR CHAMBER ENSEMBLE Jonghee Kang, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 ! ! Most analytical studies of Elliott Carter’s music focus on how Carter utilizes his system of harmony, pitch material, or polyrhythmic stratification. This study, however, explores the structure of Carter’s Violin Concerto from a different analytic angle. Violin Concerto constitutes a new structural model for the traditional concerto genre based on its multi-layered construction. The background structure of Violin Concerto is derived from pre-compositional planning, utilizing tempo modulation and three-way stratification based on a long-range polyrhythm. The phrase structure of the concerto divides the first movement into seven sections, while the movement’s rhythmic activity largely shows a four-part structure.
