LATIN AMERICAN GALA

SAT 17 AUG 2019 CONCERT HALL, QPAC

PROGRAM | LATIN AMERICAN GALA I WELCOME

Dear Concertgoer, From early in my career I have championed Latin American music. In my 20s, I founded the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas which was dedicated to performing and recording these works, some of which you will hear tonight. I know for many people, orchestral music is associated with European traditions, but there really is so much amazing music from all corners of the globe. As a travelling conductor, I am always discovering new orchestral sounds and flavours, brought to life by new composers. It is my hope that you will enjoy this journey to Latin America, and may discover you love the music too. It is my great joy to welcome my dear friend Yamandu Costa to Brisbane this evening. He is a remarkably talented musician, and he will perform his very own Concerto for us this evening. It is sure to be a treat. Another highlight of tonight's concert is Enrico Chapela's ĺnguesu. Inspired by a soccer final in 1999 where Mexico beat Brazil – an event which has become a legend in my home country – this piece shows how orchestral music can create a unique musical space. The instruments become characters, animated and passionate. This piece is an explicit reminder that music is about communication between performers and audience. I hope you feel that connection with your Queensland Symphony Orchestra as we perform for you tonight. Finally, I must say a special thank you to the students of Brisbane Girls Grammar School who are joining us this evening. Our education partnership champions young musicians of the future by providing opportunities for students to reach their highest potential on their chosen instrument. I know you will enjoy welcoming them to the stage with the Orchestra. I hope you enjoy this performance!

Carlos Chávez (1899-1978) Yamandu Costa (b. 1980) Sinfonía india (Symphony No.2) Concerto Fronteira

Carlos Chávez made an indelible imprint on the cultural life of his native Mexico in a 1. Fiesta (Party) 50-year career as composer, conductor, educator, and administrator. The start of his professional career coincided with the end of the Mexican Revolution, and his 1921 ballet 2. Coração de Camalote (Camalote's heart) on Aztec themes, El fuego nuevo, established indigenous music as a foundation of his 3. Contrabando (Contraband) later work. The Concerto Fronteira (Frontier’s Concert), composed in 2014, is inspired by the music of He enjoyed a particularly fruitful association with the United States, where he was the land borders of Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. When I was a child, I toured frequently engaged as a guest conductor and formed close professional relationships these places with my father (multi-instrumentalist Algacir Costa) as he performed at with Aaron Copland and others. In 1928, he became director of both the newly balls and concerts in the region. established Orquesta Sinfónica de México and the National Conservatory of Music. Composed in three movements, Concerto Fronteira features the melodic and rhythmic Sinfonía india dates from 1936. A single-movement work, it is one of his few pieces to richness of this region. The first movement, Fiesta (Party), announces the concert quote, as against evoke, indigenous themes, drawn from the music of the Seri and Yaqui with a cheerful chamamé – traditional music from northeastern Argentina, Paraguay, people of Sonora, and the Huicholes of Nayarit. southern and central Brazil – and turns into a chacarera – dance and popular music of fast pace and festive character, typical of northwestern Argentina. The second movement, Coração de Camalote (Camalote’s heart), is in guarania rhythm – a musical style with a more melancholic character, created by the Paraguayan musician José Asunción Flores, which influenced many Brazilian musicians. The third movement,Contrabando (Contraband), is a galopa, or galopa misionera – a dance and musical genre considered the best representative of the fast rhythms of the Argentinian province of Misiones. If the poetic image of the first movement is a party, the images that inspired me in the second movement are the rich variety of aquatic plants that float adrift in a river that separates two countries, and the third movement the illegal commercial activities that take place on the Brazilian border, with sounds of gunfire, whispers, and persecution.

In this work I have attempted to create a unique musical language that goes beyond the instrument’s virtuosity, in a rich and diverse style that is deeply connected with the culture of my homeland. It has been masterfully orchestrated by the French guitarist Elodie Bouny.

Camargo Guarnieri (1907-1993) Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) Dança Brasileira (Brazilian Dance) Bachianas brasileiras No.7, A432 Dança Selvagem (Savage Dance) 1. Preludio: Ponteio (Bridge) Dança Negra (Negro Dance) 2. Giga: Quadrilha caipira (Country quadrille) Widely considered to be second in importance and influence to Villa-Lobos in the 3. Tocata: Desafio (Song contest) Brazilian national school, Guarnieri was born in São Paulo, where he continued to 4. Fuga: Conversa (Conversation) contribute to musical life as conductor of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra and director of the Conservatory, in addition to his prolific output as a composer. Villa-Lobos strove to create music with a distinctly Brazilian flavour that would be as complex, expressive, and formally sophisticated as European classical music, typified in The three dances, composed separately between 1928 and 1946, originated as pieces for the works of Bach. He brings these two worlds together in the series of nine Bachianas solo piano and were later orchestrated by the composer. The traditional samba rhythm of brasileiras, masterly fusions of intricate counterpoint and Brazilian colour for a variety of rural Brazil permeates Dança Brasileira. Dança Selvagem is based on a rhythm captured intriguing ensembles. on a recording by Brazilian ethnologist Edgar Roquette-Pinto. Dança Negra was inspired by a candomblé ceremony witnessed by the composer during a visit to the Bahia region Styled on the Baroque dance suite, Bachianas brasileiras No.7 (1942) opens with a in 1937. Prelude. The second movement fuses the jig and the quadrille, a square dance popular in early 19th-century Europe and its colonies. The third adopts Bach’s toccata format to evoke Brazil’s government-sponsored school song contests. The work concludes with a fugue, whose contrapuntal essence is captured in the Brazilian subtitle ‘Conversation’. Enrico Chapela (b. 1974) Ínguesu When contemporary Mexican composer Enrico Chapela was commissioned in 2003 by José Pablo Moncayo (1912-1958) the Carlos Chávez Symphony Orchestra, he drew inspiration from one of Mexico’s most Huapango popular national pursuits – soccer, in particular the national team’s victory over Brazil in the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. Two years before Moncayo’s birth in Guadalajara saw the Mexican Revolution, which had profound effects on the artistic and cultural life of the country. When Moncayo came to As Chapela comments: study music (he trained under Chávez), it was in a climate where the best artists were searching for ways to create a distinctly Mexican language. I downloaded the match report and assigned the woodwinds as the Mexican players, the brass as the Brazilians, the percussion as the bench, the strings as the audience, The huapango is a vigorous dance that was particularly popular in the mestizo the harp and piano as the coaches, and the conductor as the referee. Afterwards communities of the Gulf coast, especially Veracruz. It is a ‘couples dance’, usually I drew a chart containing the most relevant moments of the game, such as the performed on a wooden platform (to accentuate the rhythmic sound of the dance steps) scoring of the goals, the replacement of players, the drawing of yellow cards, and and, furthermore, involves the men singing antiphonally (often trading stylised insults). of course the fouled-out Brazilian defender played by the bass trombone, whom the conductor is supposed to warn with the yellow card before throwing him off stage Moncayo wrote his celebrated Huapango in 1941. He had collected folk tunes in the with the red card, near the end of the match.
